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 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 wi

ll 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 palace. 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 clapped 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?"
