Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1337

Gong Sijia took a deep breath, the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily. She lowered her voice and said, "what are you talking about, Your Highness? I absolutely have no idea what you are referring to."

"Stop playing games with me." Yun Shang chuckled. She looked quite calm and didn't get angry at all. She curled up her lips and casually said, "Well, it doesn't matter whether you want to admit it to me or not. I invited you to the palace today, but I don't really need you to admit anything."

"To be honest with you, it doesn't matter whether you admit it or not. It won't affect what will happen next."

Knowing exactly what Yun Shang meant, Gong Sijia bit her lips hard. With a hesitant look on her face, she stared directly at Yun Shang and said, "Your Highness, are you going to deal with us now? Regarding to the things you mentioned earlier on, do you have any evidence to prove that we did it? I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to convict us like this."

Her remarks apparently amused Yun Shang greatly. She lowered her eyes and burst into laughter. Her clear and melodious laughter echoed in the hall.

However, with her laughter, the faces of the women from the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai darkened.

Yun Shang stopped laughing and looked at her. She opened her mouth and said word by word, "I'm afraid you must have misunderstood. I just said that I don't need you to admit anything. Therefore, I don't need evidence."

With a short pause, she straightened her face and said slowly, "I don't need any evidence to deal with a person."

The four didn't expect Yun Shang to be so straightforward and unreasonable. Shocked and awed by the serious look on her face, they realized that they were now in deep trouble.

"Your Highness, what do you plan to do?" Gong Sijia's voice was shaky. She earnestly continued, "Your Highness, please think it over. Even during war time, envoys between the two countries shouldn't be killed. Besides, the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai come here for a visit on on good terms. If anything happens to us in the Imperial Palace of the State of Xia today, the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai would not simply let you get away with it."

A faint smile crawled up on Yun Shang's beautiful face as she calmly said, "Don't worry about it. Rest assured that I will find a way to make you all disappear without a trace."

After saying that, Yun Shang took another sip of tea and continued, "Do you know why I summoned you here so early today?"

Her face was calm and her voice was firm. She had no intention to wait for their answers. Yup Shang's voice echoed in the quiet hall, "I have my own reasons. I don't want you to hear the rumours outside so you all become vigilant.

More importantly, I want to buy more time before the start of the banquet."

Her remarks caught the four of them off guard.

Seeing the confusion on Gong Sijia's face, Yun Shang smiled and said, "I've never been to the Sate of Youyue or the Sate of Yihai, so I don't know much about your two countries. However, I am quite curious to know if you have a certain skill there. Namely, the Disguise Skill."

As soon as she finishing speaking, Gong Sijia's face changed dramatically.

The women in the hall were all stunned. They were utterly shocked by Yun Shang's mentioning of the Disguise Skill.

Yun Shang noticed the expressions of the four. She chuckled and continued, "In the state of Xia, there are many experts who are good at making and wearing human skin masks. The masks made by them are not much different to the real ones. What do you think if I ask someone to make masks of you and disguise as you?"

Her question apparently caused a strong reaction among them. Yun Shang clearly saw that the four of them sighed deeply coincidentally.

They seemed rather relaxed not scared by her suggestion.
