"I'll prepare it right away." Ji Feng's figure disappeared, and the old man walked to the cabinet where there was a sandalwood box. She opened the box carefully, and found a golden hairpin inside.

The golden hairpin was very delicate, but it was obvious that it had not been worn for a long time. She held it in her hand, looked at it for a long time, and murmured, "Decades, decades."

She could finally get her revenge.

At this moment, a guard's voice came from outside the door: "Master, what about the young master?"

"Young Sect Master?" The old man sneered, "Since he is the Young Sect Master, he must devote everything to the sect. Let him stay in the City Prince's Mansion for a while!"

"Yes."

The groups of tigers in the City Prince's Palace make the defense of the entire City Prince's Palace even better.

There is no need to worry about any blind people coming to your house to cause trouble.

In the next few days, the space inside the body was silent, without any movement. Shang Ruoyi did not go out either. She spent the whole day with Xiaobai in the yard to bask in the sun, and occasionally played a few games of chess with her father.

"Come again, come again." The City King said with a smile: "Today I actually won a few games against you, it's really satisfying."

Shang Ruoyi sneered: "No wonder my brother said never to play chess with father. You are a lousy chess player. You will never regret your moves. Your chess character is too poor. How can you change your moves back and forth?"

The King of the City touched the tip of his nose and said, "We are not outsiders. It's just a few moves. Why do you care so much about it? Your mother never cares so much about me."

Shang Ruoyi glanced at him and said, "There is no father and son in the chess field."

"Tsk." The City King put down the chess piece and sighed, "Forget it, I'm old and people will despise me!"

Just then, Yunqi's figure appeared at the door of the study.

Shang Ruoyi whispered, "What's wrong?"

"Master, move."

Shang Ruoyi curled the corners of her lips slightly and was finally ready to take action.

She stood up and said with a smile: "Father, our leisurely days seem to be over."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a guard running in from outside: "Your Majesty, there is news from the palace that the emperor may not be able to survive."

The King of the City frowned, looked at Shang Ruoyi, and whispered, "Have you guessed it a long time ago?"

"The last time I examined the emperor's pulse, I knew he didn't have much time left, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. If my pulse diagnosis was correct, he could have at least lived for half a year. As for why he died in such a short time, I think father can guess a little."

"You mean, someone is plotting against you?"

"If the emperor dies, who will benefit the most?"

The King of the City looked at her and said in a deep voice, "You mean, the Crown Prince?"

Shang Ruoyi just smiled and said nothing.

The King of the City stood up, holding a long sword in his hand: "You follow your father into the palace now."

Shang Ruoyi came to the palace. At this time, there were many people kneeling outside the bedroom of the Western Region Emperor. Shang Ruoyi's eyes flickered slightly. She looked at the position in front of her. At this time, Concubine Xiao was there. Her eyes were slightly red, and she was crying softly like everyone else.

Her eyes fell on her cheek, and Shang Ruoyi understood in her heart that this seemed to be the substitute that Concubine Xiao left in the palace.

The queen stood in the front, her long, beautiful black hair made Shang Ruoyi raise her eyebrows slightly. This wig was really realistic.

The fatigue on her body disappeared, but her face looked a little haggard.

Logically speaking, she had the mother love Gu in her body. The child Gu was killed by her, and the person carrying the mother Gu would most likely die. However, she recovered to her current level in such a short time. She must have used some secret method.

The Queen's gaze fell on her, her expression was calm, but her eyes seemed to be filled with poison.

"Greetings to the Queen."

The Queen said calmly, "Why is the prince here?"

The King of the City whispered, "I heard that the emperor was unwell, so I brought Ruoyi here to treat him."

The Queen knew Shang Ruoyi's medical skills, so how could she let Shang Ruoyi treat the Emperor? Although the poison she had given was very concealed, if she came to see, she might find some clues. Now that she had finally come to this point, there was only one step left for her son to ascend the throne, and she would never allow anyone to disturb her.

"Prince Cheng, the emperor's health has been taken care of by the imperial physician, so you'd better not interfere." The queen whispered, "Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, it will affect the dragon veins of the Western Region. Can you bear this responsibility?"

The King of the City looked at her and felt that she was completely different from the queen in his memory. Even her appearance had changed. The face was still the same, but the heart beneath it was no longer the same heart.

Or maybe, her heart hasn't changed, she just pretended too well before.

"Your Majesty." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "This subject just wanted to check the emperor's pulse."

"Pulse diagnosis?" The Queen sneered, "You are young. Even if you have learned medicine since childhood, can you be more proficient in medicine than the imperial doctors who have been practicing medicine for decades? You'd better stop fooling around." She turned to the guards and said, "Please ask the princess to leave."

Just as the guard was about to step forward, the City King drew the sword from his waist and said, "Get out!"

"You want to disobey the emperor's order?" The queen pointed at the king and said, "This is the emperor's bedroom, and you are carrying a sword! Are you going to rebel?"

Shang Ruoyi could see that she was stalling for time. She thought that the Western Region Emperor didn't have much time left. If she didn't help him detoxify, it might really be too late.

She wanted to use the power of space, but the space has been silent until now. No matter how her consciousness tried to contact it, it was still in vain.

With the Queen blocking their way, it would be difficult for them to break in, unless the King of the City risked being branded as a rebel.

She looked at the King of the City and saw that his eyes changed. The hand holding the hilt of the sword moved, and the sharp blade came out of the sheath with a cold light. No one expected him to do this. By the time they reacted, the King of the City's sword was already on the Queen's neck.

The queen moved her hand slightly and was about to make a move, but then she remembered where she was and these people didn't know her skills. If she exposed herself rashly, she might end up making things worse.

"Prince Cheng, are you really going to rebel?" the Queen said loudly, "You are the Emperor's brother, how could you do such a thing?"

"If I wanted this world, I would not have waited until now." The City King said coldly, "When I helped the late emperor conquer the world, the emperor was not even the crown prince. If I wanted to be the emperor, no one in the Western Regions could stop me."

What he said was right, and no one present refuted it. It was indeed the City King who made the greatest contribution to the Western Region's present state. Not to mention at that time, even now, if he wanted to be the emperor, no one would dare to refute him.

The queen gritted her teeth. She felt the sword on her shoulder without any hesitation. As long as she resisted, he might really make her bleed.

Sure enough, he was so cold-blooded and ruthless towards himself.

I have seen how caring he is towards that woman, so I know that he really has no feelings for me.
