Chapter 242 Plotting (2/2)
't want to see it happen. He would have to face a turbulent empire.”
Yun Shang sighed. She made the decision for both Prince Jing and for her little brother. In her previous life, she owed Lady Jin a lot. In this life, she wants to compensate her with all the best things in the world.
While they were talking, a loud voice came from outside, ”Bad news! Bad news!”
Yun Shang couldn't help frowning and looked at the maid who rushed in. She knew this maid and had been by her side since her mother came out of the cold palace. The maid's name was Yingyu, which she believed.
”Is there a wolf chasing you?” Lady Jin looked at her with a smile. ”What's wrong?”
She stamped her foot and said angrily, ”I just heard from an attendant at the door of Jinluan Hall that when we went to court this morning, many officials proposed to select outstanding officials. They said that the Emperor had few sons and needed more resources to grow branches and leaves for the royal family. Your majesty... His majesty agreed... ”
Yun Shang noticed the surprised look on Lady Jin's face, but she quickly regained her usual composure. ”Yes, I know.”
Seeing that Lady Jin didn't seem to care about it, Yingyu became more anxious. Just when she was about to speak, Lady Jin waved her hand to stop her and said, ”You can leave now.”
Yingyu stamped her foot and followed her order obediently.
The room was quiet for a while. Then Lady Jin whispered, ”Now the court is in turmoil. It's normal for him to agree their suggestions to stabilize.”
Yun Shang felt a dull pain in her heart. ”Mother...”
Lady Jin suddenly turned to Yun Shang. ”If you want to go to the KY City later, I'll mention it to his majesty.”
Yun Shang was surprised, but Lady Jin looked determined. ”When I was in the the Cold Palace, my father resigned and I lost everything in the court. In that case, I have to do something, lest I lose Chenxi afterwards.”
Yun Shang paused for a while before she recognized the implication of Lady Jin's words. She nodded, ”I see.”
