She still needs someone to do things for her. If Cailian dies, she will have to find someone else. The fewer people who know about this, the better.
Therefore, Cailian really can't be killed right now.
Yun An bent down and lifted her chin, her eyes filled with a cold scrutiny: "Cailian, if even a whisper of this matter leaks out, you know my temper. You, and even your family, will not live!"
Cailian swallowed nervously, nodding repeatedly with tears in her eyes, but her heart was filled with increasing unease!
She had served Yun'an for so many years, and she knew his personality all too well. Even if he was lucky enough to save his life now, what about the future?
The princess would never allow anything to threaten her.
She didn't want to die...

"Mingyu, we've fallen into a den of dragons and tigers!"
Yu Shu sat in his chair, rocking back and forth, his expression revealing a hint of excitement: "I didn't expect that lady to have such a powerful background, able to even enter and leave the palace!"
Unlike his excitement, Mingyu only felt a sense of unease: "This may not necessarily be a good thing. Haven't you noticed that we've been placed under house arrest?"
Since they moved into the house, they have been kept under guard, and even their freedom of movement has been restricted.
And that eldest princess—since they've been so brazen in dragging them into this conspiracy, it shows they don't take them seriously at all.
Yu Shu's eyes flickered slightly, and he stroked his chin: "What's wrong with that? We've learned such a big secret, isn't it normal to be kept under surveillance?"
He glanced around, lowered his voice, and a sly glint in his eyes: "I think that princess is a pretty good backer. Once I get on her good side, won't I be set for life?"
Mingyu frowned: "Don't do anything reckless! Is your future more important or your life?"
Who is the Princess? How could they possibly be worthy of her?
Yu Shu pursed her lips and remained silent, but in her heart she was already making a plan.
...
"Just as Master predicted, that Yu Shu is clearly not a peaceful person!" Yuan Zhao's lips twitched slightly. He had only ever seen women in the inner quarters vying for the emperor's favor, but this was the first time he had ever seen a man so enthusiastic about it.
Shen Tangning said casually, "It takes some courage to try and take advantage of the Princess."
It sounds more like they're saying the other party is courting death.
Yuan Zhao raised an eyebrow: "Should we teach them a lesson?"
She frowned slightly and shook her head in refusal: "Don't do anything for now. We still need him for some things. Just keep a close eye on him."
She paused, a hint of a smile in her eyes, "However, this time, I do owe the Princess a favor."
No matter how capable she was, it would be incredibly difficult for her to sneak two people into the palace undetected, but it was not difficult for Yan Mingyi.
With the eldest princess in charge, these two would have to think twice before harboring any thoughts, which was clearly intended to put them in a bad light.
Yan Mingyi saw through it but didn't say anything. It seems that she is actually quite righteous.
Shen Tangning folded the dried letter paper and stuffed it into an envelope, then handed it to Yuan Zhao: "Give this to Shen Ci."
She couldn't arrange everything for him; he had to go out and explore on his own.
