Shang Ruyi's mind suddenly buzzed, as if something exploded in her head, and then it became clear.

This is Yu Wenqian's plan, the seizure of power and harm to others.
Shen Wuzheng is not only her most respected and closest brother, but also the most reliable advisor beside Yu Wenye. If he is removed, it would not only cause her pain but also strip Yu Wenye of an arm!
No wonder they had suspected before that with Shen Wuzheng's knowledge and character, he should be involved in governance as a civil servant, but even after the battle of Taiyuan was over, Yu Wenquan had not removed him from his position as secretary. At the time, they only thought Yu Wenquan promoted Pei Xingyuan to balance things, rewarding one while holding the other down, preventing Yu Wenye's side from gaining too much momentum.
Now it seems that the Crown Prince also played a role in the middle.
