Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1140

"How dare you!"

Yun Shang banged the armrest of the chair and squinted at Wang Jingyu. She said coldly, "Lord Wang, you are getting bolder. How dare you say something like this?"

"I know these words are too outrageous, but the rumors outside are so reasonable. It's hard for me not to think too much. If his majesty is really fine, then why hasn't he shown up for three days? Even in the morning court, he just let us listen to his voice through the screen."

"But there are countless people who are good at imitating others' voices in the world. How can we know whether the person behind the screen is his majesty or not?"

"If his majesty is fine, why didn't your majesty ask his majesty to meet us?"

Yun Shang tightened her grip on the armrest, "Are you threatening me?"

"I dare not. If his majesty shows up to prove that the rumors outside are false, I'm willing to accept the punishment."

Yun Shang held the armrest of the chair tightly and glanced at the courtiers sitting in the garden. Her face turned pale. "I want to hear your opinions on this matter."

The courtiers looked at each other. Li Qianmo stood up and said, "In my opinion, the rumors outside are just groundless. Perhaps, they are the conspiracy of the enemy to slander your majesty and disintegrate people. If we believe them, we will be fooled by them. We haven't got rid of the external strife yet. Let's not get into internal strife first."

"Lord Li, you are wrong. We don't make any excessive request. We just want to see if his majesty is safe with our own eyes. If his majesty is really fine, why didn't your majesty let us see him? "

"If something really happened to his majesty, your majesty shouldn't have deceived us like this. You should announce it to the public and discuss countermeasures with us. After all, we are also officials and members of the State of Xia."

"If you don't tell the truth because you want to help Prince Chengye become the crown prince and then assistant him with the state affairs, we will rather lose our lives than agree."

"Yes, the State of Xia can't fall into the hands of an idiot and a princess of anther state."

Yun Shang's face darkened, and her eyes were full of coldness. After a long time, she sneered, "The State of Xia can't be controlled by an idiot and a princess from another state. Then, who do you think should I entrust the State of Xia to if something happens to his majesty?"

It seemed that she was indirectly admitting that something really happened to Luo Qingyan.

The noise rose, and all the officials in the garden were whispering.

Yun Shang glanced at them and kept their expressions in mind.

"Prince Xian has a good reputation in the court, and he is also respected by the people of the State of Xia."
