"In the end?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and burst into laughter. The laughter became more and more arrogant, and finally she laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up.
Hua Yutong's face darkened. She looked at Yun Shang coldly and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Yun Shang ignored her. After a long time, she stopped laughing. She looked up at Hua Yutong and said, "You said that it's just a temporary failure and that no one knows what will happen in the end?"
Yun Shang went on with a smile in her eyes, "Do you think that as long as Xia Houjing is alive, there is still a chance to turn the tables?"
Hua Yutong only glanced at Yun Shang without saying anything, but the expression on her face showed everything.
Yun Shang walked a few steps in the cell and said, "The first condition for all of this is that Xia Houjing doesn't die. And if Xia Houjing doesn't die, you will have a chance to turn the tables. Apart from that, you have to live well to see that day. But..."
Yun Shang lifted the corners of her mouth and went on with a vicious smile, "but now, Xia Houjing is dead!"
Hua Yutong clenched her fists and stared at Yun Shang. After quite a while, she shook her head and shouted, "No way. Ning Yun Shang, I know you are always cunning. Don't lie to me with such words. His highness is not dead. I know he is not dead." Yun Shang chuckled, "What makes you so sure? Do you think the Emperor and I are fools? After his majesty and I came to the State of Xia, Xia Houjing attacked us again and again, almost killing us both. At present, we have finally got Xia Houjing in our hands. How can we easily let him go and give him a chance to turn over again?"
Hua Yutong clenched her hands, and her nails were deeply embedded in her hands, which made her feel pain.
"I won't believe you. Do you think I will come to you and provoke you without knowing anything? I know. His highness is still alive! " the last words came out almost with a roar.
However, Yun Shang was not affected by her emotion at all. She just smiled and said, "Really? Did Xia Houjing send you the message? It must be him who asked you to do those things before, right? He deliberately arranged for me to meet you on the street, and then you found Qian Yin and came to see me. Then you knelt at the gate of the palace for more than half a day, killed Xia Houjing's concubines, and slandered my reputation in the street?
It is that man who asked you to do all these, right?" With a smile at the corners of her mouth, Yun Shang drew a line on the wall with her hand, "Xia Houjing is indeed very cautious. Even when he stirred up trouble in Liucang City in such a difficult situation, he still knew to leave a hidden chess piece for himself in the court in case that he would fail in anything and use it to save himself.
It's a pity that although Xia Houjing had arranged everything well, he didn't expect that his majesty and I have seen through his plan and didn't give him the chance at all."
Yun Shang smiled with complacency in her eyes, "As for the news that Xia Houjing is still alive...
That was deliberately released by me and his majesty to lure you..." Yun Shang laughed, "If we didn't spread such news and didn't let you think that Xia Houjing was still alive, how could you try every means to save him?
Xia Houjing had won over many forces in the State of Xia for so many years. Although he is defeated, there were still many forces that we hadn't found out and can't be completely eliminated. But you see, as soon as we spread the news that Xia Houjing was still alive, you took the bait spontaneously, didn't you?
Both his majesty and I are waiting for you to come out of the water so that we can capture you all."
