An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1394 Xia Houjing Was Hidden By My Mother

Yun Shang didn't know if the person behind the scenes had any plan. However, when she counted it

with her fingers, she knew Xia Houjing's first poison attack would come soon.

The poison wouldn't be a big deal if Xia Houjing quietly hid himself.

But if he wandered outside, the scene would be fun.

It didn't take much trouble that they returned the women members from the State of Youyue and the

State of Yihai to Ling Ziyue.

Upon seeing Ling Ziyue, Princess Ming Yue's eyes were filled with tears, but she held them back

because she was afraid of something wrong. She lowered her eyes and greeted in a soft voice, "Your

Highness."

Ling Ziyue took a glance at Princess Ming Yue, looked her up and down, and then nodded. "Well, let's

go back."

The words between them two were really limited.

But Yun Shang could tell from their expressions that there was something special inside.

Sure enough, the so-called maid's comment that the relationship between them two was not good

enough was probably something deliberately said to Lou Qiang.

This was not the appearance of a couple who didn't have a deep relationship. No wonder that Lou

Qiang was discovered just after meeting with Ling Ziyue once.

After Ling Ziyue led the ladies away, Luo Qingyan went to the Meeting Hall again. Yun Shang took a

book from the bookshelf and read it. She had just turned over two pages when she heard a maid's

voice from outside, "Your majesty, Master Cao is outside the door. He said he had something important

to report to your majesty."

"Master Cao?"

The servant nodded, "Yes, Cao Han, Master Cao."

Yun Shang stopped turning the pages and squinted. This was the second time that he came with such

an excuse.

Yun Shang stood up and walked to the gate of the Taiji Palace, "Master Cao."

Cao Han hurriedly bowed to Yun Shang, "Your Majesty..."

"Master Cao wants to see his majesty?" Yun Shang raised her eyes to look at the servants outside,

who were lowering their heads and pretending not to hear anything. She then said, "His majesty is in

the Meeting Hall. It's a good chance that I have something to talk to him. Mr. Cao, please come with

me."

"Yes, your majesty."

Cao Han followed Yun Shang and took a few steps forward, "Your majesty used to live in Weiyang

Palace. It was not easy for me to see you then. I didn't think it was appropriate to let the servants send

messages to you. Now that you live in the Taiji Palace, it's much more convenient for sending

messages now."

Yun Shang smiled and replied, "Yes, it's much more convenient now. But it's easy for people to find

something wrong with you because you have been looking for his majesty too often."

"Yes..." Cao Han lowered his head and said, "But I have no choice."

"The imperial court maid, Miss Wang is my person. If you want to see me in the future, just send a

message to her first."

Cao Han seemed to be surprised. He looked up at Yun Shang and then quickly lowered his head,

"Okay."

"Tell me. What happened to the Cao clan since you came here?"

Cao Han gritted his teeth and replied, "Your Majesty, Xia Houjing has been hidden by my mother."

Yun Shang stopped and turned to Cao Han, "Old Lady Cao?"

"Yes, your majesty." A fierce look flashed through Cao Han's eyes, "I don't know why my mother has

something to do with Xia Houjing. But on the day of the Mid-autumn Festival, my mother called us to

discuss something in the study. The Butler suddenly came in and reported that the master had come

out.

I'm not favored in the clan all the time. I don't know who the master is, but when I saw that as my

mother heard the news, a flash of surprise flashed on her face, and then she hurriedly asked us to

leave.

After less than two days, I saw the arrest warrant outside. Today, I heard that there was a fire accident

in the palace and that Xia Houjing was behind the scenes. I have a bold guess after I contact these

events in detail. " Cao Han gritted his teeth and said, "I guess the master the Butler mentioned that day

was Xia Houjing."

Yun Shang squinted, "It's just your guess?"

"Before I entered the palace, I went to see my mother. I asked her a few questions casually. Judging

from her performance, my guess should be correct."

Yun Shang didn't ask him how he tried to test it out. She kept silent for a moment and then said, "You

saw the arrest warrant and guessed it. The person wanted on the arrest warrant is Xia Houjing. You

should know the consequences of hiding him. If it is true that the Cao clan hide Xia Houjing, the death

penalty will apply to the whole clan. "

"I know it." Cao Han nodded and his face was stiff, "I know. I couldn't believe that my mother would do

such a treacherous thing. But since it has happened, I have no choice but to come to you. I don't ask

for anything else. I just hope that you can intercede for me and protect my wife and children. "

Yun Shang miled, "What else do you want except the lives of you, your wife and children?"

Cao Han kept silent for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "if we can keep the Cao clan, I

will definitely turn it into a sharp blade in the hands of your majesty and your majesty. We will fight

wherever we want and never abandon it."

"Ha ha..." Yun Shang couldn't help laughing, "You are ambitious."

Cao Han straightened his back and said, "I know that if Xia Houjing is really hidden in the Cao

mansion, it will be normal for your majesties to kill all the Cao clan members. However, I also know that

the emperor has just been on the throne for a year. Although he has made some achievements in the

court, his foundation is not deep and the throne is not stable. Although the Cao clan is just a clan, if we

fight back with all our might, it will have a great impact on your majestiesy.

I think it's an undeserved catastrophe, and your majesties can avoid it completely."

Yun Shang looked at Cao Han with a smile, "You just need to keep your life and we will hand over the

Cao mansion to you, right?"

"Yes, your majesty." Without any hesitation, Cao Han said, "Although I'm not favored, I'm also a

member of the Cao clan. I have a certain understanding of everything about the Cao clan because I

have been through many hardships in the past few years. As long as your majesty entrust the Cao clan

to me, I will not fail you,"

Yun Shang smiled and said, "Do you know where Xia Houjing is imprisoned?"

Cao Han shook his head and said, "I don't know yet, but..."

Cao Han paused and then went on, "I guess if Xia Houjing is really hidden by my mother, she won't

hide him in public. In the Cao mansion, there were some... I know something about the properties that

are not under the name of the Cao mansion, and I can write them down one by one. Your majesties

have ordered to keep an eye on those places, and I think we will gain something. "

Yun Shang couldn't help but take another look at Cao Han again and nodded. "Okay, you can write it

down and ask someone to submit it to me.

As long as you behave well and work for me honestly, I will find a way to protect you safe and sound. I Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

won't treat anyone who is loyal to me unfairly, as long as... you work for me wholeheartedly. If you have

any other intention, don't blame me... Don't blame me for being cruel to you. "
