Yun Shang pursed her lips and didn't answer his question. She just looked around and said, "It seems that your highness's miserable look in the dungeon before is fake."
Xia Houjing didn't say anything. He just looked at Yun Shang with a smile, and his expression was somewhat casual.
Yun Shang pressed her lips and continued, "Your highness is really powerful. As soon as you came out, you could bribe the servants in the palace to poison his majesty. You could even send so many people and so many weapons into the palace without being noticed, waiting to aim at me now."
Yun Shang's eyes grew colder and colder. "I'm wondering how many people among the civil and military officials in the garden are your men. And how many officials are willing to believe that I can win."
Hearing Yun Shang's words, Xia Houjing raised his eyes slightly and said, "Why do you bother to know so much, your majesty? You are about to die."
Yun Shang suddenly burst into laughter. "I might not be able to get out of the garden alive today, but I can guarantee that even if I die, I will be able to drag countless people with me."
Yun Shang stood straight, with her fingers tightly holding the hand of Chengye, and her lips pursed. She looked arrogant and indifferent. "Everyone, listen carefully. I will only give you one chance to choose." "If you are willing to believe me and support me, then stand behind me. As for the rest, if they don't stand behind me, that means you admit that you are Xia Houjing's men. I'll kill all the people who support Xia Houjing!"
The noise became louder.
The courtiers in the garden looked at each other or whispered, but no one moved for a long time.
Xia Houjing laughed, "Your majesty, it seems that no one wants to believe you. I also admit that you are indeed very powerful and smart. Even many men can't compare with you. But you are still just a woman. And... a woman from the State of Ning."
"Why do you bother to do this? Just admit it. I'm more suitable for the position of emperor of the State of Xia than Luo Qingyan, your stupid son and you. If you are willing to give up the position in front of all the civil and military officials, maybe I can spare your stupid son's life."
"It should be a good deal, right?"
Yun Shang was not affected by his words at all. She only straightened her back a little.
"Is there really no one who is willing to stand on my side?"
After a long time, someone stood up and silently walked behind Yun Shang.
As expected, it was Li Qianmo.
Then, more than twenty people walked behind Yun Shang one after another. Most of them were trained and planted in the court by Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan before. Only one or two of them were not.
Seeing this, Xia Houjing smiled even more brightly. "Great. In this way, It saved my investigation. I can know who are your majesty's people and can deal with them all today, so that I don't have to investigate them one by one in the future which is troublesome."
Yun Shang ignored him and turned to look at the twenty -odds people standing behind her. She bowed to them and said, "I seem to be at a disadvantage today. I'm very grateful that you are willing to believe me. Don't worry, everyone. I will spare no effort to get rid of Xia Houjing and his people today, and I will protect you well."
Xia Houjing laughed and said, "Your majesty is quite arrogant. But it's a pity that you can't keep your promise today."
Then he raised his eyebrows again, "By the way, where is his majesty? Oh... Where is his majesty's corpse? "
"He must be in the bedroom of the Taiji Palace, right?"
Yun Shang's calm expression finally changed. "What do you want to do?"
