If their prince's consort made any mistake in the Western Regions, their prince would definitely lead the army himself and flatten the Western Regions.
"No." Jun Zegan said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if she were still in the Shang family, she would not have the final say in marriage. Marrying to the Dingguo Palace may not be what she wants. Your Majesty cannot detain her in the palace because of this. This is unfair."
"How dare you! How dare you refute my words!" The Western Region Emperor looked at the table, grabbed the inkstone and threw it at him.
His movements were not fast, and Jun Zegan would definitely be able to dodge it with his body shape.
Just as he was about to move his feet, he saw the look his father was giving him, so he retracted his foot. With a loud bang, the inkstone hit him directly on the forehead.
In an instant, blood gushed out.
The Emperor of the Western Regions did not expect that he did not hide, and was shocked.
"Please let Ruoyi go, Your Majesty." He staggered a few times and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Ruoyi was his biological daughter, and he seemed to have adopted her. In order to let Ruoyi return to the palace, he gave up his son. He just turned his head slightly, otherwise, the inkstone would have hit his vital point, and it would not be as simple as a bloody head. It was unknown whether he could still survive.
"You!" The Western Region Emperor said angrily, "You don't want to live!"
Jun Zegan was speechless. He was desperate. His father wanted to exchange his life for his daughter. What could he do?
"Call the imperial physician!"
Soon, the imperial physician bandaged his head and instructed, "Please take care of it for more than a month, change the medicine every day, and boil the medicine twice a day without delay. The injury on your head is very serious. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger!"
"Thank you, Doctor Chen."
Will it take more than a month to recover?
How can we send troops then?
The Western Region Emperor frowned, his eyes fell on the faces of Jun Zegan City King, trying to guess something from their expressions, but to no avail.
"You idiot, the inkstone flew towards you, didn't you just dodge?" The City King scolded, "Is this what I usually teach you?"
"Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from heaven. My son will remember what his father said. If you make the queen angry, you will naturally have to pay a price." Jun Zegan said in a flat tone. He looked at his father who was so high up in the sky. He didn't know who had stopped him from hiding just now.
When the Western Region Emperor heard this, his hard heart was slightly touched.
But when he thought of Shang Ruoyi's identity, his feeling of being touched instantly disappeared.
No matter what, that woman cannot be let go.
"Since you are injured, go back and have a good rest. I will arrange other people to attack the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun." He sat on the dragon chair and said lightly: "But Shang Ruoyi still needs to be raised in the Queen Mother's Palace. This matter is not negotiable."
The King of the City frowned, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes: "Brother, do you mean to put her under house arrest from now on?"
"Not really." He smiled: "As long as Tianshun is captured and everyone in Dingguo Palace is killed, Dingguo Palace will no longer exist in this world, and she can naturally return to her normal life."
Upon hearing this, the City King clenched his fists, and the coldness in his eyes was enough to freeze a person to death.
After a while, just when the Western Region Emperor thought that he agreed with what he said, he heard the City King say calmly: "What if I disagree?"
What?
The Western Region Emperor suddenly raised his head and looked at the City King: "What did you just say?"
The King of the City stood up and said in a deep voice: "This King, I disagree." As soon as he finished speaking, the murderous aura that had been immersed in the battlefield for many years was no longer restrained and poured out.
It's really frightening.
"Jun Ke, do you want to rebel?"
"For so many years, I have protected the Western Regions for you, my brother. I can help you keep it, but I can also overthrow it." He said in a deep voice, "Ruyi is my bottom line. If you touch her, it means you want my life. I will do whatever it takes."
"you!"
The Western Region Emperor looked at the City King. He had never seen such determination in his brother's eyes.
At this moment, a eunuch came forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, Madam Liu from the Empress Dowager's side is here."
"Xuan."
Soon, Madam Liu came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother heard that Prince Cheng entered the palace late at night, and the Queen Mother happened to have something to ask the prince, so now she invites the prince to go to Ningshou Palace."
The originally tense atmosphere eased slightly, and the Western Region Emperor whispered, "Go."
Knowing that Shang Ruoyi was imprisoned in the Queen Mother's palace, Prince Cheng and his son immediately followed Madam Liu and left without even saying goodbye.
The Western Region Emperor was so angry that he smashed several more pieces of porcelain.
At this time, in Ningshou Palace, Shang Ruoyi was sitting on the left side of the Queen Mother.
"Your father and brother must have been in conflict with the emperor."
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "There is no way. The emperor has detained me in the palace with these unfounded charges. It is clearly an insult to my father. My father will not give in. Besides, the Prince of Cheng's Mansion has made great contributions to the Western Regions. Not only does he not want to be grateful, but he even wants to use some tricks. Does he really think he is the smartest person in the world?"
The Queen Mother looked at her and whispered, "You speak like this in front of me, which is disrespectful. Aren't you afraid that I will punish you?"
"If the Queen Mother wanted to punish him, why did she wait until now?" Shang Ruoyi said with a smile: "I think the Queen Mother also thinks that the Emperor has gone too far."
"Although your father is not my biological child, I raised him. Others may not know what kind of person he is, but I know it best. Since you are his daughter, I think your character must be good." The Queen Mother looked at her and said, "But your background will surely make the Emperor suspicious, which is reasonable."
Shang Ruoyi narrowed her eyes when she heard this. Her background?
Was she saying that she was Shangnian's concubine's daughter, or was she referring to her identity as the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Ding?
Since she said her name, she knew that her identity as the Crown Prince's Consort would soon be exposed.
It is just that it is said that the Queen Mother of the Western Regions devoted herself to worshipping Buddha and did not care about worldly affairs. Now it seems that this is not the case.
"My queen, the prince is here."
As soon as the words fell, a figure came rushing towards them.
"Ruoyi." The King of the City said loudly, "Quick! Let father take a look. Are you injured?"
Shang Ruoyi had a helpless smile on her face: "Father, your body is not well yet, what are you doing here?"
"You have been detained in the palace by him, how can your father not come to support you?" He looked her over and found nothing unusual, so he slowly let go of his worry, thinking that the assassin was not talking about her.
At this moment, Jun Zegan walked slowly into the main hall. When Shang Ruoyi's eyes fell on the gauze on his forehead, her eyes suddenly became sharp.
"What happened?" She said in a deep voice, "Who hurt your head?"
