Chapter 1140 What If I Can
"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 ept the
punishment. "
Yun Shang held the armrest of the chair tightly and nced 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 nder 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 be 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 nced 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."
Yun Shang sneered, "His majesty intended to give the throne to Prince Xian before, but he refused.
Now Prince Xian even doesn''t care about the title of Prince Xian. He left a letter to his majesty and me
and went to travel. He has no heart for the throne. He doesn''t want to be bound by the power. "
This matter was not made public. The courtiers were surprised to hear it.
However, someone also stood up and said, "Since Prince Xian doesn''t want to be bound by the throne,
we shouldn''t force him. I have an idea. I hope your majesty won''t me me when I say it. "
Yun Shang couldn''t helpughing ironically, "me you? Just as you said, I''m just a princess from
another state. What do you dare not say? "
The official smiled awkwardly and said, "I think if something happens to his majesty and Prince Xian
doesn''t care about the throne, his former majesty will eventually get old. It''s better to give the throne to
the seventh Prince..."
Hearing this, Yun Shang squinted and asked, "Who? The seventh Prince? "
Yun Shang sneered, "I''m afraid you have forgotten that the seventh Prince you mentioned is a traitor of
the State of Xia! What do you mean? You mean the throne can''t be given to a legitimate prince, but it
should be given to a traitor? "
Hearing Yun Shang''s fierce words, the official lowered his head and said, "The seventh Prince indeed
started a rebellion, but he did it for the throne. If he can get the throne justifiably, then there will be no
rebellion. "
"Ha ha..." Yun Shang sneered.
"Anyway, the seventh Prince is a royal prince. This is the most appropriate way to avoid others usurp
the throne. "
"The most appropriate way." Yun Shang nodded with a sneer, "That''s interesting, but what a pity..."
"The seventh Prince you mentioned has died." Yun Shang''s smile became colder. "What? Didn''t you
know? Oh, I forgot that the seventh Prince was killed in secret. "
"Do you think his majesty and I would leave alive a person who coveted the State of Xia and who
wanted kill us?"
Yun Shangsaid indifferently, "I''ll tell you clearly that if his former majesty or Prince Xian wants the
throne, I''ll give it to them. But as for Xia Houjing, don''t even think about it."
"What''s more, his former majesty is in the pce. I have asked him for opinion when conferring
Chengye the title of crown prince. His former majesty didn''t have any objection. How can you
interfere?"
Someone pped the table and stood up. "His former majesty has no objection? You have controlled
the whole imperial household. Perhaps, his former majesty has been imprisoned by you and can''t
object to this matter."
But before Yun Shang got angry, another official said, "It''s not that I want to interfere. But if something
really happens to his majesty, it''s inappropriate to make a child less than two years old as an emperor
no matter he is an idiot or not.
"Inappropriate? Then who do you think is the best? "
"If his former majesty and Prince Xian have no intention, the seventh Prince is indeed the best
candidates."

Yun Shang''s eyes grew colder. "I''ve told you that Xia Houjing is dead. Are you deaf? Or can you find
me another Xia Houjing out of nowhere? "
"What if I can?"
