An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1240 Give Me An Idea

Hearing Yun Shang's words, Ming Hong raised his head and looked at her.

Yun Shang walked a few steps casually in the prison, tilted her head and thought for a while. "Where to

start?"

"Well, let's start from how I spread the news." With a smile on her face, Yun Shang said, "When I asked

you to buy the medicine, you should have suspected it and asked someone to check it, but you

shouldn't have found anything wrong..."

"It was true that the prescription was prescribed by Ghost Doctor. But what you didn't know was that

three of the herbs were from the Ghost Doctor Valley. And the three herbs will actually produce slight

poisons when they are used together. Ordinary doctors usually don't put them together. "

"Among these three herbs, there is a special one. It is rarely used, so ordinary medicine stores rarely

prepare it."

Yun Shang smiled and said, "The second master of the Cao clan run a lot of drug stores, so you

thought it would be no problem to get some medicine from him for me. But you didn't expect that they

would take the herbs from the druggists and that there were many of my people among the druggists.

All of my men have a good habit. Like the people from the Cao clan, they are willing to kill three

thousand people by mistake, but will not let go of one of them. "

Ming Hong lowered his head and stared at the straw in his hand, without saying anything.

"Of course, this is just one of them."

"After giving me the medicine, the people you sent to monitor me should have seen that I took out

several herbs and put them away. You focused most of your attention on the herbs, but ignored the

rest. "

Yun Shang shook her head and said, "No, I should say that you paid most of your attention on me, but

ignored my maid."

"You saw that I put some herbs away, but you didn't see that my maid hid a piece of burnt charcoal

when she went to the kitchen to decoct medicine for me."

"You saw me practicing calligraphy in the study from time to time, but you didn't see that my maid tore a

few pages of a book made of kraft paper when she helped me tidy up the books I had read."

"You sent female guards to monitor me when I bathed, but you didn't know that my maid secretly used

the black charcoal to write on the paper and the handkerchief when she bathed."

"You knew that I had been fishing by the river and seemed to have gained nothing. In fact, I have

caught some fish, but my maid set them free when checking the fish hook. Before setting them free, my

maid fed each fish a note. The kraft paper was waterproof and wouldn't get wet. The words on it were

well preserved. If someone downstream caught these fish, he might see the notes... "

"You saw that my embroidered handkerchief fell into the stream and my maid ran after it, so you sent

someone to run ahead with Qinggong and chased the handkerchief back, but you didn't notice that

when your people came back with the handkerchief to report, my maid secretly threw another

handkerchief into the river."

"After all these things, one day, I heard a familiar bird cry in the yard and knew that I succeeded."

Yun Shang lowered her eyes and chuckled, "And there is one more thing. I know that when I asked you

to ask someone to move the fish tank that day, you deliberately ordered those dumb servants in the

yard to let me know that although they can't speak or hear, they can read lips. This was the flaw you

deliberately left. In this way, if I found a way to escape, I would let those dumb servants lead the way,

and then they would leave clues to you. Even if I escaped, I wouldn't be able to escape from you. "

"But you didn't expect that I saw what happened at that time. I also found that the dumb servants in the

yard could read lips, and I also understood your intention."

"That day, I tried my best to send away the guards and killed the remaining two guards. After finding a

dumb servant, I didn't let him lead the way. Instead, I took the dumb servant to the woodshed and

knocked him out. "

Yun Shang noticed Ming Hong's face became paler and he was biting his lips. The smile at the corners

of her mouth became more and more arrogant. "I'm afraid it has troubled you for a few days. Now I've

told you. What do you think? "

Ming Hong raised his eyes to look at Yun Shang, his fingers trembling slightly. "I've heard that the the

Empress is the most resourceful. When I first saw your majesty, I thought the rumors were most likely

to be exaggerated to beautify you. Now I understand that those rumors are true, but I didn't take them

seriously at that time. I was too careless. "

Yun Shang chuckled, "Thank you for your praise, Mr. Ming Hong."

"After this incident, the Cao clan is completely exposed to me." Yun Shang smiled and said, "I killed the

master of the Cao clan when the incident happened in the Changting Garden. Then the Cao clan sent

Cao Han. They want to use him to gain my trust in order to... Get what they want. "

"Now the Cao clan probably doesn't know that they have been exposed. Cao Han, the man they used

to deal with me, has become a very useful weapon in my hand. I can also send some false news to the

Cao clan through Cao Han and try my best to completely remove them. "

Yun Shang smiled and turned to look at Mr. Ming Hong, "But you don't have to be too sad. After all, the

Cao clan wanted to kill you to keep the secrets. You don't have to be sad for them, do you?"

After saying that, Yun Shang smiled and said, "There are so many people in the Cao clan. Who do you NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

think I should start with?"

"Cao Han? I'll keep him for a while. He is still useful to me." Yun Shang tilted her head and thought for

a while. "The second master of the Cao clan? His name seems to be Cao Zhou, right? Although he is

not an official in the court, he is the economic support of the Cao family. Almost all the money the Cao

family spent to bribe officials is from him. "

"Or..." Yun Shang thought for a while and asked, "Old Lady Cao? She is very annoying. Since I killed

her husband, she has tried her best to take revenge, but every time she failed. "

"Or, Mr. Cao? Is he the eldest son of the Cao clan? The death of the eldest son will be a big blow to the

Cao clan? "

Yun Shang said with a smile. Then she turned to look at Ming Hong and said, "You are familiar with the

Cao clan. Who do you think I should start with? Give me an idea. I'll send his head to you tomorrow... "
