Chapter 151: Night Talk in the Workshop

As the sky gradually darkened, the scholars who had gathered together returned to their inns one after another.

Bai Ye had earlier drunk the filial piety that Yun Zhuan brought back, and he felt sleepy for a moment, so he went to bed early.

In front of her husband, Yun Ju'an would always act coquettishly and try to please him, but once she was alone with others, she would return to her rational self.

"What did the gentleman talk to you about?" Yun Zhuan walked side by side with Shen Xueyan, with a calm expression on his face, "Have you decided whether you want to help Mr. Bai?"

Shen Xueyan nodded: "Mr. Bai risked everything to save my life, and I repay him with my knowledge, so I am not an ungrateful person."

Yun Zhuan laughed softly twice: "In that case, then stay by Master's side and serve him well."

She also couldn't say that Shen Xueyan was helping Bai Ye in the same way she was helping her.

Shen Xueyan looked apologetic: "Although Dad promised to follow His Highness, I..."

Yun Zhuan smiled slyly, waved his hands and said in a generous manner: "I don't mind."

"Just stay by your master's side and serve him."

Anyway, no matter what you do, it's all for her and for the great cause of Nanzhao.

Wanqi Rang stood at the intersection, his shadow falling, just in time to meet Shen Xueyan and Yun Ju'an.

Wanqi Ruqing was standing next to his mother, with his eyes lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Your Highness." Wanqi Rang bowed, looking very respectful.

Yun Zhuan quickly helped her up, and said in a somewhat reproachful tone: "My Lord, what are you doing? Do you have to torture me?"

As a civil official who has a say in the entire Nanzhao, Wanqi Rang naturally has influence all over the country. But now, there is no sign of her influence increasing. Perhaps there are people in the court of Nanzhao who are competing with her.

It is difficult to exert power in this way.

The current Majesty of Nanzhao also turned a blind eye. After all, she was just a puppet, and not becoming a corrupt monarch was already the greatest blessing.

Wanqi Rang made an indelible contribution.

She was indeed very pleased: "With Mr. Bai's guidance, Your Highness will surely be fully grown. It's just a matter of time."

Yun Zhuan was naturally humble: "If it weren't for the assistance of a group of old ministers like you, Nanyu would not be able to do anything."

Nanxiu is her current name in Nanzhao, which the late emperor had chosen for her long ago.

"Ruqing, why don't you come over and meet Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess?" Wanqi Rang said with a serious look on his face.

Shen Xueyan couldn't help but sigh. She thought that the Wanqi family must have very strict rules and regulations. After all, they were a family of upright civil officials and an aristocratic family.

Wanqi Ruqing really took a step forward and said, "I have seen your grace today. Your Highness, I am Wanqi Ruqing, and I have seen your Highness."

Yun Yu'an was still smiling: "Quickly, stop being polite. You are all my confidants now, so why do you have to be so polite? The one next to me is Shen Xueyan from the Shen family, with the courtesy name Wenyu."

Shen Xueyan immediately looked at the people in front of him and then stopped.

Wanqi Rang and Wanqi Ruqing had both heard of this person, but if we don't count the previous meeting with Wenshan Mohai, this is the first time they have met so formally.

"I've long heard of Mr. Shen's great name." Wanqi Ruqing was very interested in Shen Xueyan.

As a lady, she was very proud, well-read, and beautiful. Her every move was elegant and graceful. She was the dream lover of countless young men in the capital of Nanzhao.

"I've heard a lot about you." Shen Xueyan didn't expect that Yun Zhuan would introduce him to Wanqi and his mother. The status of these two people in Nanzhao, and even in Wenshan Mohai, is far higher than that of the Shen family.

Yun Ju'an had considered everything carefully. Anyway, this person would contribute to her great cause in the future. If she got to know him now, it would be easier for him to do things for her in the future.

Shen Xueyan saw that they seemed to be discussing something, so he took his leave voluntarily: "I have one or two close friends waiting for me there, so I will go ahead."

Naturally, several people agreed.

After Shen Xueyan left, Wanqi Rang asked Wanqi Ruqing to find a shady workshop, and the three of them sat down peacefully.

"Shen Xueyan is not an outsider." Yun Zhuan took a sip of tea and said, "This will not be an exception."

Wanqi Ruqing was indeed young, and he immediately argued softly: "After all, Master Shen is not very familiar with the affairs of Nanzhao..."

Wanqi Rang shouted in a stern voice: "Ruqing, how dare you!"

It turns out that he loves his daughter deeply.

Yun Juan put down the teacup and said, "Although Shen Xueyan is from the Yuan Dynasty, he will still work for me in the future, so don't employ someone if you don't trust him, and don't doubt someone if you employ him."

"Besides, many things require a new face like him to do. Master Wanqi, you should understand."

Yun Zhuan's expression was very calm, and he was not angry at all because of Wanqi Ruqing's rudeness.

Wanqi Rang knew what kind of person Yun Zhuan was. When she was in Yuan State, she risked her life to cover her and Jiang Shinian's departure.

I heard that the killer was just one step away from taking her life.

She is truly a girl of destiny, she was able to escape such a disaster safely.

She was so cruel to me, not to mention others. If I were not loyal enough, I was afraid that the first thing the Princess would do when she arrived in Nanzhao would be to get rid of me.

Even if he had the entire Wanqi family behind him, he would surely be ruthless enough to get rid of it in order to ensure that his great cause would not be hindered.

What is Wanqi Rang thinking about?

Yun Ju'an propped up his chin and looked at Wan Qi Rang who couldn't stop drinking tea and had a dull look in his eyes:

"Lord Wanqi, stop being in a daze and tell me, the court of Nanzhao is divided now. How should I deal with that group of old sly guys if I don't know anything about them?"

"Your Highness is right." Wanqi Rang hurriedly concealed the fact that he was absent-minded, and then took out a map with the distribution map of Yingdu, the capital of Nanzhao.

"Jiang Shinian is following your instructions and collecting money from all over the place. In addition, there are a total of four soldiers guarding Yingdu, of course, we must count the captain. I heard that you were assassinated recently, I am afraid that most of the reasons are from the Wan family in Yingdu. This family was originally an old noble family of Northern Chu, and later stayed after Northern Chu occupied Yingdu of Southern Zhao."

Yun Zhuan understood what he heard, which means that the Wan family is Bei Chu's spy.

Bei Chu must have known of her existence and was afraid that the puppet court he had worked so hard to set up would be overturned, so he couldn't wait to do something.

As expected, he was free and wanted to find something to do with her.

"Let's set some traps for them first, so that I will have a reason to start an uprising." At this point, Yun Ju'an couldn't help laughing.

It's not for anything else, it's just for the eternal existence of Nanzhao.

Yun Zhuan saw Wanqi Rang thinking, and said, "We can slowly remove those people from the court. In addition, if possible, we can reach an agreement with Nan Wu. She can still be her leisurely king for the time being and enjoy every moment in the countless hours before I take the throne."
