A voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone in the garden looked in the direction of the voice.
There used to be several banyan trees planted there, and they should have been there for some years. The banyan trees are so big that almost every tree needs to be hugged by a person's hands, and the branches and leaves are very luxuriant.
When everyone looked over, they saw a person jumping down from one of the banyan trees.
Everyone in the garden had a look of surprise on their faces. I don't know if they were surprised by the identity of the person, or because they didn't expect that there would be a big living person hiding on the banyan tree, covered by the lush branches and leaves. No one found out.
Yun Chang's eyes fixed on that person for a long time, and seemed to be taken aback by the sudden appearance of the person, but the reaction of the hidden guard was extremely fast, and within a short while, a dark guard appeared quickly , Protecting Yunshang.
"Long time no see, empress." The man looked towards Yunshang with a smile on his face, but there was a lot of hostility in that smile.
Yun Shang frowned: "Xia Houjing? Why are you here?"
Xia Houjing's eyes were cold: "Otherwise? Otherwise, the empress thinks, where should I be? In that cold and dark dungeon? Or become a corpse and be buried underground?"
As he said that, he snorted again: "I'm really sorry to disappoint you, Empress. I, Xia Houjing, didn't die, and even appeared here, standing in front of you, Empress. Empress thinks , Surprise or not, surprise or not?"
Of course there are no surprises, but there are still surprises.
Yun Chang gritted her teeth: "Come here, arrest this rebellious minister and thief! Pull him down!"
But Xia Houjing laughed: "Rebellious officials and traitors? Yes, I did rebel. Why I rebelled, the empress should be very clear in her heart."
"I, Xia Houjing, am an upright descendant of the Xia Kingdom's royal family. I was born in the Xia Kingdom's royal family and grew up in the Xia Kingdom's royal family. In the past twenty years, I have done countless things for the Xia Kingdom. During the court, I once contributed to the prosperity of the Xia Kingdom. On the battlefield, he shed his blood to protect the people of Xia Kingdom."
"Why did I do this? To be honest, I'm not a person of high morals. What I do is naturally the supreme position."
"In the battle for the throne, I naturally understand who wins and who loses. If anyone else in the real Xia Kingdom's royal family wins, I have nothing to say. But he is the one who finally ascended to the throne, Luo Qing Word!"
There were faint veins on Xia Houjing's forehead: "Oh, a bastard who didn't know where he came from, an outsider whose surname was not Xia, he even slaughtered countless Xia people on the battlefield! Why did he take that position? , I was naturally dissatisfied. So I rebelled... "
"But I failed."
Xia Houjing walked towards Yunshang step by step: "When I was imprisoned in that cold and damp dungeon, I also thought that since the Supreme Emperor recognized Luo Qingyan's son, if he could really give Xia Guo To bring new hope and let the people of Xia Kingdom live a better life from now on, it doesn’t hurt to let him be the emperor.”
"However, something happened suddenly to Luo Qingyan. It was even the empress herself who killed her. What is the difference between what the empress is doing now and me, a traitor like me?"
"What's more, I still have the legitimate royal blood of Xia Guo, but the empress has nothing to do with Xia Guo. As for the child of the empress..."
Xia Houjing smiled meaningfully: "Even Luo Qingyan's origin is unknown, let alone this child. Besides, this child is still a fool..."
Yun Chang's face suddenly turned pale.
Chengye also frowned, and yelled angrily: "You are the fool! Your whole family are fools!"
But, no one paid attention to him.
Xia Houjing came over, stood among the courtiers, and looked up at Yunshang: "Compared to you, compared to this fool, I think I should be more qualified to sit in that position, right?"
The paleness on Yunshang's face gradually faded, she only pursed her lips tightly, her eyes swept over the courtiers in the garden: "So, do you all think so?"
No one answered.
Yun Chang laughed, and the smile was full of coldness: "Okay, very good!"
As he said that, his eyes fell on Xia Houjing again: "I don't know when the Seventh Prince escaped, and when did he win over so many courtiers so silently..."
Yun Shang's eyes turned red all of a sudden: "So, the poison of Suinan on Your Majesty's body is the Seventh Prince's handwriting, right? You secretly arranged to poison His Majesty, right?"
Yun Chang swayed, staggered and took two steps back: "That's right, blame me for being so stupid, how many people in this country of Xia can silently bribe so many people to do things for him in the palace? Except you seven My lord, I'm afraid there will be no one else."
"It's just that, whether His Majesty is still here or not, if you want to take away what belongs to him, you have to ask me whether I agree or not. Unless I die, otherwise, you don't even think about that position."
Yun Chang stabilized her body, straightened her back, and glanced over those courtiers again: "I want to see, everyone here, how many people feel that Xia Houjing is better than my palace and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Is it more suitable to sit in that position?"
Xia Houjing sneered: "Does the Empress think that I can take this opportunity to delineate those who support me and catch them all?"
"Does the Empress think that if I enter this palace, I will definitely not be given a chance to get out alive?"
Yun Chang only looked at Xia Houjing with a cold face, and didn't make a sound, but there were more hidden guards around her. Around Chang Ting Garden, many guards with knives suddenly appeared, covering the entire Chang Ting Garden. Listen to the garden surrounded.
The atmosphere in the garden suddenly became tense...
Xia Houjing looked around: "Your Majesty, is this how you fight?"
Yun Chang clenched her hands secretly, and only pursed her lips to look at Xia Houjing.
Xia Houjing laughed again, raised his hand and patted it lightly.
I only heard the sound of neat footsteps, and everyone looked around, but saw a lot of people suddenly appeared behind the guards who had surrounded Changting Garden, and all of them were wearing neat iron armor, holding long knife.
Afterwards, the sound of iron armor was heard from the roof, and many people in black iron armor suddenly appeared on the roof, holding bows and arrows in their hands, all pointing at the people in the garden.
The corner of Xia Houjing's mouth twitched into a smile: "Madam, what do you think, who will win and who will win?"
