The Seventh Emperor's eyes when he looked at her changed several times.

She never expected that although she thought she was smart, she was actually completely under her control.

"Your Majesty, please think twice. The country is peaceful now. Please do not provoke disputes. Do not let the people of the country suffer and become homeless."

"Jun Zegan, you are my subject, so you should behave like a subject. How can you disobey me?" He said in a deep voice, "Now that we have such a good opportunity to take the Ten States of Yanyun, you are backing out from me. What is your intention?"

Jun Zegan frowned slightly and whispered, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you, where does the intention to attack Ji Shun come from?"

The Western Region Emperor put down the teacup in his hand heavily and said, "Why, do I need to report my decision to you?"

"emperor."

"Okay." The Western Region Emperor said in a deep voice, "Why hasn't your lost sister come yet?"

"Your Majesty." A eunuch stepped forward and said, "Your Highness is already waiting outside the palace."

"Let her in." He glanced at Jun Zegan, a cold look in his eyes, and looked outside the door.

After a while, a woman in palace dress came in, followed by the Seventh Emperor.

Shang Ruoyi leaned forward slightly: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

There was an indifferent expression on her face, and her eyes looked at the Emperor of the Western Regions without any ripples.

The Seventh Emperor bowed deeply and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father."

The Emperor of the Western Regions just waved his hand without even giving him a glance.

The Seventh Emperor seemed to be accustomed to it, and was not upset by his neglect. He stood up and stood aside.

Emperor Shun's eyes were on Shang Ruoyi from beginning to end.

"Has no one taught you how to perform a great ceremony?" The Western Region Emperor's voice was slightly deep: "Do you know that you have to perform a great ceremony when you see me?"

"I just met an eunuch named Zhao at the palace gate. He told me the same thing. I have to perform great ceremony when I see the Queen Mother." She smiled and said, "But I don't want to, so I ignored him."

The Western Region Emperor heard this and his face turned cold: "You wish? Why do you wish?" He whispered: "So, you don't know, but you wish, right?"

"That's right."

"How dare you!" 놛 said angrily, "Have you two discussed this? If you are disobedient to your superiors, your family will be confiscated and your clan will be exterminated."

"I have never thought that a person who drags his people into dire straits would be a good monarch who works hard and loves his people." Shang Ruo smiled disdainfully: "It's just for your own selfish desires, wanting to expand your territory, hoping to have unlimited wealth and glory, gold and silver treasures, which you create yourself, and then go to rob others' territories. What's the difference between you and beasts like lions and tigers?"

The Western Region Emperor's expression suddenly changed. She actually compared herself to animals!

"I overheard something outside the palace just now. It was intentional. Your Majesty and your brother were talking loudly. If you have ears, you would have thought you heard it." Shang Ruoyi said calmly, "Your Majesty wants to take the obedient Yanyun Prefecture with troops. This is simply a fantasy."

"Say it again!" Emperor Shun said angrily, "How dare you discuss state affairs? You..."

"fallacy."

"you!

Shang Ruoyi knew that no matter how angry he was, he would not dare to do anything to her. She was the daughter that the City King had spent more than ten years to find. Now the Western Region still relied on the City King's Mansion to protect its borders and territory. No matter what she did today, the Western Region Emperor could only sulk.

"Your Majesty, do you know the deployment of the troops in the Ten Prefectures of Yanyun? Who are the generals leading the troops? Who are the soldiers defending the city? How many are there? Are there any reserve troops? What is the situation with the food and grass? How is the equipment? Do your soldiers have a chance of winning against them?"

Shang Ruoyi's words stunned the Western Region Emperor for a moment. How could he know all this?

"You know everything, but you want my brother to lead the troops. This is undoubtedly to send me to death and drag the people into the flames of war. Don't you want my brother and father to be in danger as well?"

"I have received advice from an expert. If we attack now, we will surely capture the Ten Prefectures of Yanyun!"

"Since this expert is so powerful, let him go."

"You little girl!" The Western Region Emperor was so angry that he trembled all over: "I already said that he is a master! How can you see him just because you say so?" He hated that he could punish her immediately, but he also felt that what she said made some sense: "How do you know so much?"

Just then, a eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen said she has something to discuss with you."

A mysterious look flashed across the eyes of the Western Region Emperor, and he frowned slightly: "I know." He turned to Jun Zegan and said, "Take your sister for a walk in the garden!" He looked at Shang Ruoyi again, and left with a sad face.

After the emperor left, the Seventh Emperor walked up to her and gave her a thumbs up: "Warrior! Warrior! You are so amazing! How dare you speak to my father like that? The Emperor's uncle is already the most amazing person I have ever met, and now you are even more amazing than the Emperor's uncle."

"I really know how your father secured the throne."

"Keep your voice down. Everyone in this palace is my father's people." The Seventh Emperor said softly, "If my father knew about this, your little head would really want it."

Shang Ruoyi said with conviction: "If you wanted to punish me, you would have done it just now. Now you are afraid of my father, so you can't." Nor dare you.

The Seventh Emperor choked and said, "Okay, you win."

No wonder she was able to secure the position of the royal consort. She analyzed things so thoroughly in such a short period of time. I'm afraid there are only a few women as brave as her in the entire Western Regions.

Several people came to the garden.

“This garden is so beautiful.”

"This is all thanks to Concubine Xiao."

"Empress Xiao?"

The Seventh Emperor nodded and said, "Noble Concubine Xiao is the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family in the Western Regions. She was promoted from a talented person to a noble concubine as soon as she entered the palace. Just because she said she liked it, my father ordered people to rebuild this back garden. Many places in it were designed and built by Noble Concubine Xiao herself."

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "I guess that woman must be extremely beautiful?"

"Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Anyway, my father likes her very much. Even if the queen is against her, she will have to avoid her."

This is quite interesting.

Just then, a piece of gray clothing came into view.

For some reason, she felt a little uneasy. She took a few quick steps, but she only saw the man's back, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

She focused her energy on her pupils and looked in the direction the man left. He had clearly disappeared around the corner, but there was no one there. Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but frown, and the feeling of uneasiness in her heart gradually grew.

"Ruoyi, what's wrong?"
