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."

When the masks are ready, I will ask someone to dress up like you, so that you can all have a good look and see if there is any obvious flaw.
However, whether the disguise is perfect is irrelevant. Since all the envoys from the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai will be replaced by my men, the plan will be successful. The ministers in the court don't have much contact with you, so I doubt anyone will discover the truth."
After saying that, Yun Shang went straight out of Weiyang Palace without even listening to their pathetic pleading.
At the gate of Weiyang Palace, Yun Shang pressed her lips into a thin line. With a cold and confident look in her eyes, she briefly ordered the servants behind her, "Prepare a carriage and let's go to Taiji Palace."
