"All right." Yun Shang raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, "You can leave now."
Then Qian Zhuo left with Qin Yue.
Lying on the bench, Yun Shang gently twisted the bracelet on her wrist, biting her lips and keeping silent for a long time.
After a while, Qian Zhuo came back, but she didn't make a sound, either, but just stood aside while looking at Yun Shang quietly. After quite some time, Qian Zhuo asked, "Your majesty, do you think there is something wrong between the two of them? Is either of them lying? "
Yun Shang turned to Qian Zhuo and asked, "Then do you think there is something wrong with these two people? And who is lying? "
After a moment's reflection, Qian Zhuo shook her head honestly, "I don't know. I just feel that the wet nurse has been serving his highness Crown Prince all the time, and she was chosen by your majesties after many tests. If she wants to do harm to his highness, she has too many chances. Thus I don't think it should be her.
If it isn't her, it should be Qin Yue."
Qian Zhuo pursed her lips and then went on, "And I don't know why I always feel that Qin Yue didn't look right. I don't know what's wrong with her, but I just feel that there is something about her is not normal."
Yun Shang smiled, "Yes, she didn't look right."
With her eyes wide open, Qian Zhuo asked, "So, did she lie just now?"
"No." Yun Shang shook her head again, "What she said just now should be true. She didn't lie."
"Then?" Qian Zhuo was confused, "How do you know then what she said is true? If it's true, why did your majesty say that she didn't look right? "
Yun Shang smiled, "How old did the wet nurse say that this maid named Qin Yue is this year?"
"Eighteen years old."
"How many years has she served in the palace?"
"More than five years."
Yun Shang smiled, "All the servants working for Chengye in the East Palace were chosen from the place that the Emperor and I trusted. That is to say, they were all chosen from the forces we cultivated, just like you and Qian Liu."
Qian Zhuo's eyes widened in surprise. She finally understood what Yun Shang meant, "Although your majesties had planted people in the palace a long time before, it hasn't been five years yet since then."
"Ning Qian was the first one to be arranged in the palace. It is five years since then. But the others have been placed in the palace for less than five years.
Thus how can she be working for us for more than that?"
Qian Zhuo pursed her lips and then asked, "Thus there is something wrong with Qin Yue?"
"The maid named Qin Yue should be fine. If there was any problem with her, Qian Liu wouldn't have chosen her to be a personal servant for Chengye.
The person that had something wrong is that Qin Yue who stood in front of us just now."
Yun Shang stood up, took the two medicine bottles she had just used and handed them to Qian Zhuo,
"There are some knockout drops in this blue bottle. They are colorless and tasteless. Try to make the maid called Qin Yue drink some.
There is some medicine in the cyan bottle to remove her disguise. Put it on her face, temples and neck to see if she has a disguise."
"Yes, your majesty." Then Qian Zhuo took the bottles and left.
Yun Shang pursed her lips. This was a warning for her. She and Luo Qingyan trusted those who came to serve Chengye.
But apart from those being bought off, it was also difficult to guarantee that someone would take the risk to take over the place by disguising themselves.
Yun Shang murmured to herself, 'I have to think of a way for this problem.'
