Thinking of what Jun Luoyun had said before, that King Cheng and Jun Zegan were both surprisingly good to this Duke Lingjun, he felt even more annoyed.
"I'll give you one last chance, will you pick it or not?"
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "What if I pick it? What if I don't?"
"If you don't pick it, don't even think about leaving my Jinxiu Palace alive in this life."
"Your Majesty is so arrogant. Could it be that the people in this palace are your majesty's mistress?" Shang Ruoyi waved the folding fan in her hand and said indifferently, "I am a guest of the King of the City and the King. If something happens to me in your majesty's palace, your majesty, do you think the King and the King will come to save me?"
"Humph." Upon hearing this, the Queen couldn't help but sneer, "Save you? What a joke! Without my permission, the City King won't set foot in Jinxiu Palace!"
"What about 녡떚?" Shang Ruoyi said in a low voice: "The real person in charge of this City Prince's Mansion is 녡떚, not the City Prince. I believe the Queen knows this."
Jun Luoyun, who was standing aside, heard this and said in a tender voice: "You are talking nonsense! Brother is obedient to father and even more so to me. If brother knew that he actually spoke to the queen and me like this, would he come to save you? If he doesn't peel your skin off..."
Before she could finish, Shang Ruoyi sneered, "Princess Luoyun, you'd better save your breath! Listen to yourself, what nonsense you just said is all. Is she obedient to you? Is it your imagination? You are just an adopted daughter. The King of the City looked at your face. Although you don't look much like the princess now, you can barely see some outlines of the princess. If you grow up a little more, this outline will disappear completely. I'm afraid the prince won't even want to see you. As for you, it seems that he has hated you since your first visit to the mansion, and he feels extremely annoyed when he sees you more." She crossed her legs and said casually, "You should think about it now. How long do you want to stay in the position of princess?"
"You!" Jun Luoyun said angrily, "You are talking nonsense! It's not like that!"
"Whether it is true or not, you know it best." Shang Ruoyi's eyes fell on the queen: "Your Majesty just said that I will never be able to leave your Jinxiu Palace in this life. I would like to give it a try. Is your Majesty more powerful, or am I better?"
"You ignorant little brat." The queen clenched her fists. She looked at Shang Ruoyi, and a very familiar face gradually appeared in front of her eyes.
That face that she wanted to tear apart.
"Since you want to try, I will give you this opportunity." The internal force in her hands surged, and her figure was like a ghost, flying straight towards Shang Ruoyi.
Shang Ruoyi had a cold expression and swung out her palm, directly facing the queen's palm.
The queen didn't expect that she would face her head on.
"You are so brave!" the queen said coldly, "You dared to take my blow with your bare hands? You really don't want to live."
"It's true that your Majesty has profound internal strength, but it's just this much." After she finished speaking, Shang Ruoyi shook her arm, and a powerful force suddenly appeared. The queen felt her eyes go dark, her mind was shaken, and her body flew backwards uncontrollably.
"Cough, cough, cough." A trace of blood flowed out from the corner of her lips. The queen propped herself up in a somewhat embarrassed manner. Her hair, which had been neatly combed, was now in a dishevel, and her dress was stained with a lot of dust.
"Master." Jun Luoyun swallowed the word "senior sister" that was about to come out of her mouth. She hurried forward to help her up: "Queen, how are you?" She turned to Shang Ruoyi and said: "How can you be like this? How dare you attack the Queen! Come! Drag him away and beat him to death with sticks!"
Shang Ruoyi sneered: "Didn't the Queen say that she would give me this opportunity? It's just a duel. Victory and defeat are common in the military, and pain is inevitable. Why, only the Queen is allowed to win?"
The queen stood up and looked at her palm, her eyes narrowed slightly: "You, you actually slapped my poisonous insect to death." She saw the corpse of a poisonous insect lying across her palm. She said in disbelief: "This poisonous insect couldn't even get close to you."
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "It's just witchcraft. I know a little bit about it. Although I'm not proficient in it, I still have the ability to protect myself."
The Queen's pupils shrank slightly. This was the Puppet King Gu that she had spent so much effort to raise, but she had killed it with just one slap!
As long as this insect touches the skin, it will drill into it instantly. She has never failed with other puppet insects, but now the King Gu has been beaten to death. How can she be willing to accept this?
She didn't know how much of her own blood she had fed to this King Gu. The puppet Gu must be fed with blood to communicate with its master. Now, it died before it could accomplish its mission.
"Your Highness is proficient in Gu techniques and has managed to raise such a good Gu worm. This is truly something that people will envy." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Unlike me, who can only kill the Gu worm."
It was obvious that what he said was meant to irritate people.
The queen's face turned pale. She didn't expect that after all her efforts, she not only didn't see her true appearance, but also lost a puppet king Gu.
At this time, Shang Ruoyi had already concluded that the person who cast the curse on her father was the Queen of the Western Regions. As for the reason, it must be because of love.
But after so many years, whether it was because she liked her father or because she was unwilling to see her father fall in love with someone else that she broke off the engagement with her, I guess only she herself knew it.
"Who are you?"
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Who do you think I am, Madam?"
"Don't tell me who your biological mother is."
"It's really interesting that you asked the same question as the City King."
When the queen heard this, her pupils shrank sharply.
"I am from Beiling, and my mother is Miss Li from Beiling."
Li family?
"The Li family that raised Dongzhu?"
"Exactly."
The queen frowned slightly: "I like Dongzhu. The emperor bought me many from the Beiling Li family, but I have never heard of any daughters in the Li family."
"My mother passed away early, when I was very young, so naturally you have never heard of it."
The queen felt relieved when she heard this.
Just looking at his face, I still feel a little skeptical.
"Then why don't you show your true face?"
"My mother left early because of her stunning appearance. I don't want to add to these troubles and look at my face anymore. Do I have to care about this?" Shang Ruoyi whispered, "To be frank, I am not a citizen of your Western Regions. It is not appropriate for the Queen to bring me into the palace in this way! And you are fighting with me here. Although I am not from a famous family, I have saved many powerful people in these four countries. If the Queen goes out to inquire, she should not imprison me here. What's more, you can't lock me up at all."
