Luo Qingyan glanced at them and said, "As for the details, I don't have to tell you. Both of you are dying. It's meaningless for you to know so much."
"But I didn't expect that so many people who was respectful to me on the surface had betrayed me secretly."
The courtiers who had stood in front of Xia Houjing were all pale. Some of them couldn't help but quickly kneel down. "Your majesty, I have never done anything bad to you. Please forgive me! I just... just..."
Luo Qingyan sneered, "You just thought that I was dead, and that her majesty's power was not strong enough to fight against Xia Houjing, so you had to choose to stand on the side of Xia Houjing, right?"
The courtier's lips trembled slightly. "Yes..."
Then he said quickly, "I think many of the people who stood behind the traitor, Xia Houjing, must have the same thought. Your majesty, we are guilty, but we don't deserve to die. Please forgive us, your majesty."
"What's more, your majesty has just ascended the throne, and your foundation is not stable. You shouldn't kill so many people. There are so many courtiers. If you remove them all, I'm afraid that many departments will be paralyzed and the government affairs can't be dealt with in time. Your majesty..."
Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows and said, "Lord Zhao, you seem to be very considerate for me, don't you?" After saying that, his eyes darkened again. "But no matter what your thoughts are, I will only see the final result. I hate those who are not loyal. Of course, I hate fence sitters more."
"Today, you chose to stand on Xia Houjing's side because you thought I was dead. I can't guarantee that you won't betray me again for your own interests in the future. I will... took its roots while cutting off the grass."
Luo Qingyan said indifferently, "As for the vacancies caused by your death, I don't need you to worry about it. This is my business, and I will naturally try my best to solve it. There are so many people in the State of Xia. I don't believe that I can't find dozens of ambitious men to replace you."
Then Luo Qingyan stood up and turned to Yun Shang and Chengye, "Let's go. It's getting late. It's time for us to go back and have a rest."
Yun Shang smiled and held Chengye's hand to stand up.
The three of them walked out of the garden together.
As soon as they walked out of the garden, they heard several cries for help from behind, and then there seemed to be a muffled sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
Chengye turned around, only to see the soldiers in silver armors surrounding the whole garden, unable to see what was happening inside.
"Mother, what are they doing?"
Yun Shang lowered her head and smiled, "They are playing games."
"What game? Is it fun? Can I play with them? "
Yun Shang looked up and exchanged a look with Luo Qingyan. Then she smiled and said, "They are playing the game of officers catching prisoners. You are too young to play it now. When you grow up, you can play the game."
Hearing that, Chengye tilted his head and thought for a while. "When can I grow up?"
"It's still early."
Seeing the disappointment on Chengye's face, Yun Shang smiled again. "Although you can't play the game of officers catching prisoners with them, you can also play other games. There are many toys."
