Chapter 895 An Idea (Part One)

Empress Hua had recited all the stories. Yun Shang was stunned. It must have been hard for Empress Hua. Moreover, it had only been four or five days since Empress Hua disappeared.

However, Empress Hua laughed brightly, "I have tried countless times to adjust my tone and mu gesture in the Palace. It's my first time to wear a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown. It's so heavy and uncomfortable. I just thought that if I didn't dress like this, I might not be able to suppress those monsters, so I had to do so."

Yun Shang laughed with her. "Mother, you did a good job. I thought you had regained your memory."

"Some things should be solved decisively. It's true that I lost my memory. They wanted to use it to accuse me of faking the Empress. If I don't do like this to make them believe that I have regained my memory, maybe next time they will doubt if the Crown Prince is the child of His Majesty." Empress Hua lowered her head and touched Bao'er's earlobe.

After a while, she raised her head and said, "You too. If you don't want something to happen, you should let everyone know your attitude. Of course, you should also let everyone know that you are not easy to mess with. Only when they are afraid of you will they restrain themselves a little."

Yun Shang was stunned for a moment. Then she understood what Empress Hua was talking about. She said, "Yes, I understand. And I'm preparing now."

Empress Hua smiled, "That's good."

After a pause, she said in a low voice as if she was murmuring to himself, "In three or four days, the result of this year's Imperial Examination will be announced. And the Palace Examination will be held soon after that to decide the ranks of the top three,

ngyan and Tanhau respectively.

"The first one and the third one are my people, but the second one is not." Luo Qingyan had known the result the day before the list was posted. When Yun Shang asked, he said indifferently.

Yun Shang kept silent for a while, rolled up the book in her hand, and said softly, "Is it possible the second one is arranged by that person?"

Luo Qingyan smiled and didn't take his eyes off the book in his hand. He just replied indifferently, "So what? Isn't there still a Palace Examination around?"

Yun Shang pouted, lost in thought. Since he could get the second place, he must not be an ordinary person. Most of the time, the Palace Examination was a mere formality and the ranking order usually wouldn't change if there was nothing wrong.

But judging from Luo Qingyan's confident look, it seemed that he had arranged everything well. She didn't need to worry about it.

While the two were talking, Qin Yi came in, handed a note to Yun Shang, and left.

Yun Shang was surprised. She unfolded the note and read it. After a moment of silence, she balled the note up and put it into her sleeve.
