Li Jingyan remained silent for a while after hearing Emperor Ning's words. Then he burst into laughter and said, "She is dead? I don't care. It's good for her to be dead. She is good for nothing after all. I don't want her to live a miserable life." Then he turned to look at Emperor Ning and snorted coldly, "don't try to get any information from me. I won't say a word even if I have to die."
Yun Shang chuckled and said, "you have been faking in the state of Ning for so many years. You must be very loyal to the state of Xia? You made the prince of the State of Xia in prison. What will Xia Huanyu think of you if he knows this?"
But Li Jingyan remained unmoved, "so what? You little girl knew nothing. Though I have waited in the state of Ning for decades. No matter who I met and what I do, I have a clear conscience. "
"Yeah, you are warm and nice to everyone. But I wonder if you could say these words to your family. In order to reach your goal, you have to send your daughter to the imperial palace to compete for love. You also need to make a decision in the life of your grandchildren. You want to woo Zhao Yingjie, a general, from Ning Hua Jing's marriage, so it ended like that. You want to draw him over to your side. That's why you ended up like that. After you rebelled, you took away some of the Li clan members, leaving behind some of its branches. The others were all killed because of you. And the ones you took with you was now on the way to the imperial city. You have a clear conscience you say? How about letting someone send a person of your clan in everyday so that they can carry out a sentence in front of you? " Yun Shang's lips curled into a cruel smile.
Grand councilor Li's eyes were wide open and he seemed to be on the verge of bursting into pieces. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "well, I didn't expect that the poor scholars from Xiao Yuanshan taught their daughter to be cowardly, while his granddaughter is cruel. But, you are just a little girl. You used to call me Grandpa. I'm not afraid of you. But I'm still more experienced than you, and I can manage it. If you want to try it, I'll play with you. "
Yun Shang knew that Li Jingyan wouldn't tell her anything more when he was like this. She frowned and stood aside. Emperor Ning glanced at Li Jingyan, and then glanced at the seventh Prince of the state of Xia. Then he said softly, "let's go."
As the two went out of the secret chamber, Emperor Ning noticed Yun Shang's displeasure. He smiled softly and said, "I found that after you and Prince Jing got married, you have become much more cold and cruel than before like him."
Yun Shang kept silent for a while and said gently to him, "father, you are wrong. I am not a good person from the beginning." How could a woman, who had always been filled with hatred, be kind? She had lost her kindness since the day she woke up at the age of eight in this life.
Emperor Ning was also stunned by her words. He smiled faintly and did not respond to her. After they walked out for a while, Emperor Ning stopped and asked, "what's your opinion on Hua Jing's matter?"
