Seeing this, Jun Zegan took a few steps back to avoid the hand she extended.

Concubine Xiao's hand fell empty, her face changed slightly: "Agan, what do you mean? Are you still unwilling to forgive 놖?"

"I came here today just to send you back to the palace." He looked straight ahead and whispered, "If others knew that you were in the palace in the middle of the night, I'm afraid it would lead to gossip and affect your reputation."

"Agan, do you know what you are saying?" Her voice was a little sharp: "If you don't want to take 놖 away, why did you come? Why did you agree to 놖 today?"

Jun Zegan's eyes fell on her face: "I didn't promise the Royal Concubine today. It was you who said that you would wait here whether I came or not. That's why I came here late at night to persuade the Royal Concubine to turn back from her wrong path." His voice was very calm, without any emotion.

Hearing this, Concubine Xiao's face flushed, and she said angrily, "Jun Zegan, I didn't expect you to be such a daring person! I was willing to give up the glory and wealth in the palace and fly away with you, but you actually betrayed me. Have you forgotten what you promised me back then? You told me that as long as I was with you, you would take care of me for the rest of my life and not let me suffer any grievances. Have you forgotten all this?"

"Yes."

"Then why are you doing this?" She said righteously, "Are you going to break your original promise?"

"You were the one who betrayed me first. What's the point of repeating those words?" Jun Zegan sneered, "From the moment you chose to enter the palace, there is only the etiquette between you and me. As for the rest, my queen should just treat it as a dream."

A trace of coldness flashed across Concubine Xiao's eyes. She didn't expect that even though she dressed like this, she wouldn't arouse any sympathy from Jun Zegan.

"Agan." Concubine Xiao's tone softened: "I have explained to you that I didn't want to enter the palace back then. I finally found an opportunity to leave, but I can live with you. Why do you treat me like this?"

"Not what you want?" Jun Ze laughed dryly: "Whatever your majesty says is fine. Anyway, it has no meaning to me. Please follow me back to the palace."

"Agan."

Concubine Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold light flashed in her hand, and a dagger was across her neck.

"What are you doing?" Jun Zegan whispered, "Put down the dagger."

Seeing his nervousness, Concubine Xiao had a hint of triumphant smile in her eyes. Jun Zegan thought to himself that she was pretending to be so cold, but she was just still angry.

"If you insist on bringing me back to the palace someday, I might as well die here." She moved the dagger towards her body. Sure enough, Jun Zegan's face became even more tense, which made her more certain of her guess.

"What are you doing?" Jun Zegan said in a deep voice, "You chose this path yourself. If you keep acting like this, who are you showing it to?"

"Why don't you believe what I said? I was forced to enter the palace!" Concubine Xiao cried and said, "Since entering the palace, I have lived in pain and regret every day. I should have forced them to die, maybe they would let me go."

Seeing that he did not waver, Concubine Xiao saw the dagger pressed against her skin, a trace of bright red blood flowing, which was very dazzling on her snow-white skin.

Jun Zegan was shocked and just as he was about to step forward, he heard a chuckle behind him.

"Empress Xiao is such a good actress and she has such good tactics that even 놖 has to believe it!"

Jun Zegan paused and looked back, only to see Shang Ruoyi walking slowly out of the woods.

She walked up to Jun Zegan and said angrily, "Didn't my brother say that we would hand her over to the imperial guards in the city to escort her back to the palace and then come to look for her? You are so smart, otherwise I don't know how long I would have to wait for you in the wilderness."

"Why are you here?" Jun Zegan's voice was a little flustered: "I'll take you back."

If things are not peaceful, she is not feeling well these days, what should she do if she encounters an accident?

Concubine Xiao didn't expect Shang Ruoyi to be here, her face changed slightly: "Why are you here?"

"My brother brought you here." Shang Ruoyi smiled and stepped forward: "Otherwise, how can you enjoy Concubine Xiao's wonderful performance?"

"What are you talking about? I don't understand." Concubine Xiao looked at Jun Zegan and said coldly, "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. It's fine if you humiliate me every day, but you even brought your sister here to humiliate me. It's better to die. Only in this way can you be satisfied."

Jun Zegan was about to speak to stop him, but Shang Ruoyi grabbed his arm, turned around and said to Concubine Xiao with a smile: "If the Concubine had such integrity, she would not have encouraged you to run away with my brother."

Concubine Xiao narrowed her eyes and felt a sinking feeling in her heart. She had never expected that her tricks would be exposed so easily by her.

"What do you know? When Princess Wang entered the palace, she had no choice but to do so. She regrets it all the time. Now that the emperor is seriously ill, this is her only chance to leave the palace, her only chance to stay with Ah Gan. She couldn't choose to be with her beloved back then. Now that she is out of the control of the Xiao family, of course she has to fight for her and Ah Gan's happiness. You are not her, so how do you know what she thinks?"

"You are not the Imperial Concubine, but you are also a woman. You said you were forced to enter the palace. How come you are the only daughter in your Xiao family? I remember that there were four legitimate daughters in the Xiao family, all of whom were waiting to be married. Why did they want you, the one they already loved, to enter the palace? You are the only legitimate daughter in your first room, but the other three are not up to par?" She snorted coldly, "You keep saying that you were forced by your grandparents, but I think it was you, Imperial Concubine Xiao, who couldn't let go of the splendor and wealth, so you wanted to marry into the palace."

"You are talking nonsense!" Concubine Xiao's face changed several times: "You know nothing, but you are just talking nonsense here! Ah Gan, don't believe it."

Jun Zegan had no expression on his face and motioned for Shang Ruoyi to continue talking.

"Noble Concubine Xiao, you said you regretted every day in the palace, regretting not being with your brother. You said the Xiao family forced you to enter the palace. Even if that's the case, what about the Heavenly Master? When you were with that Heavenly Master, did you regret it? Did you ever think about your brother?"

Shang Ruoyi's words made Concubine Xiao's face suddenly change: "You, you!"

"You didn't expect it!" Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "I didn't expect my ugly deeds to be made public like this." She looked at Concubine Xiao and continued to ask, "Still, I'm really curious. If the emperor is seriously ill and the palace is under martial law, how did you, a woman, come to this desolate wilderness alone?" ”
