The national master naturally didn’t notice it, so he asked directly, “What happened? Who went to your mansion?”
Shangguan Ying tightened her hands, and she raised her head and said to the national master, “It’s the assassin who also entered the national master’s mansion, I went to my mansion tonight.”
The national master’s face changed slightly, and he said, “How did you know that the assassin who went to your mansion went to my mansion that night?”
Shangguan Ying said, “Because the assassin said something that shouldn’t have said.”
After Shangguan Ying said that, the air in the whole room was extremely quiet, and only the breathing of the two of them could be heard.
Shangguan Ying continued directly: “Please rest assured, the man is just talking nonsense, I will never hear it in my heart. But there are two things I have to explain to the national master.”
“Oh, let me tell you”
Shangguan Ying said: “First, I want my daughter to return to me safely, and second, let my younger brother, His Highness, inherit the throne. Other things, no one’s life or death, have nothing to do with me.”
Shangguan Ying was betting that she bets with the national master using this secret, hoping to save one of her daughters.
The national master laughed out loud, “It’s so funny. Those assassins are the murderers who assassins. Don’t say that the princess doesn’t believe it, even the emperor doesn’t believe it.”
Shangguan Ying said, “Yes, the emperor will not believe it, but it is not good for the national master when it is spread. Moreover, some royal relatives and nobles are no longer willing to let their children stay here. At that time, the entire royal family will start to talk about it, and it may not be good for the national master.”
