"What happened? Why do you look so bad?" Jun Zegan whispered, "But where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Shang Ruoyi shook her head: "Nothing, just thinking about something." She looked outside again: "When can we go back? I'm a little tired."
"When the queen comes back later, I will take you back to the palace."
Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince said before leaving: "I wonder if you can spare some time to help my mother with her illness."
"Okay." Shang Ruoyi nodded and agreed: "It's still early today, we can go to see your mother in a while."
The Seventh Prince's face lit up with joy. At this moment, a young eunuch came over and said, "Seventh Prince, Prince, and Little Princess, the Emperor is calling you three back! A banquet has been set up, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also arrived."
Prince, what is he doing here?
Shang Ruoyi frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
When the three men returned to the imperial study, the prince was talking to him about the queen's health.
"Father, Queen Mother's health has been getting worse over the past two days."
"Yes." The Emperor of the Western Regions sighed: "I don't know what kind of illness she has. Even the imperial physician can't find out the cause." Moreover, all her hair has fallen out. If others knew that his queen was a nun, people all over the world would laugh at him.
However, she is the biological mother of the crown prince, and her status and position cannot be shaken no matter what.
But every time I thought of her horrible appearance, I couldn't help but tremble all over if I looked at her for one more second.
Not to mention being seen by others.
"Your mother has been feeling unwell these days, so try not to disturb her in the palace. If you disturb her rest, it will be more difficult for her to recover."
"Yes, I will remember this."
The young eunuch walked forward and said, "Your Majesty, the prince and his men are back."
"Xuan."
When he saw Shang Ruoyi again, the emperor looked a little better than when he left.
Jun Yunting smiled and said, "No wonder my sister was willing to greet me when I saw her today. She is the daughter of the emperor's uncle. With such an identity, I, as her elder brother, should accept her courtesy."
Shang Ruoyi just felt sick listening to his words.
What brother and sister?
Who is your sister?
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is of noble status, and I absolutely dare not casually claim to be related to you."
"Sister, you are being too polite. You are actually a relative. If we were in the public, you would have to call me cousin."
Shang Ruoyi twitched the corner of her lips and was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
"Your Majesty, it's already early. I'm sure your father is still waiting for you and your brothers and sisters to go back for lunch, so you guys should stay a little longer." Jun Zegan said in a low voice, "You guys please leave the palace on your own initiative."
"I will host a banquet this afternoon. Even if you want to leave, wait until you have eaten." He looked at the Seventh Prince: "Seventh Prince, what brings you here today?"
"Father, I am only here to pay my respects to you."
When he finished speaking, the Western Region Emperor waved his hand and said, "In that case, you should go back first! There is nothing for you to do here."
The Seventh Prince's face changed slightly, there were so many people here, and they were allowed to leave if they wanted to, but instead they let him, a dispensable person, leave. Is there a shortage of food in the palace now?
Even if you use your nose to think, you will know that this is the case.
Then there are only two reasons for letting him leave. One is that his father really likes him, and he wants to use this opportunity to tell Shang Ruoyi that the royal family has a feast, but no one is qualified to eat it, so she should cherish it.
It was said to be a banquet, but it was just orders to set up two more tables.
Shang Ruoyi looked at the very sumptuous meal on the table and curled her lips secretly. With just these few dishes, is this considered a banquet? The Emperor of the Western Regions is really stingy.
She sat at the bottom and only picked a few cakes and did not eat any meal.
"Ruoyi." The Western Region Emperor drank a few glasses of wine and asked with a smile, "Earlier your brother said he had found his biological sister, but I didn't ask him much. Where did you grow up?"
"Tianshun, Prime Minister's Mansion." Shang Ruoyi put down the snacks and said softly, "I think the emperor knows that Tianshun was confiscated and exterminated some time ago. The Shang family is my mother's family."
Her words made Jun Yunting's face change suddenly.
Shang family?
How old was the left prime minister before Tianshun?
"You grew up in the Shang Mansion?"
"Why? Your Highness the Crown Prince wants to know where I grew up?"
The Western Region Emperor also looked a little ugly.
He put down his wine glass and looked at Shang Ruoyi with deep eyes: "So, I just said that we should take over Tianshun and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. You strongly opposed it after hearing it outside the door. I listened to your words before, and it seemed to make sense. Now I think that you are arguing with me here just because you care about Tianshun. Now you just want me to send troops. You should understand clearly that you are from the West. The princess of Yucheng Wangfu is a citizen of Tianshun." He said in a deep voice: "I am determined to get the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Jun Zegan, I order you to appoint a general tomorrow and lead an army of 50,000 to take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. As for the little princess of your mansion, your father is dead and the queen mother is still in the palace. She is very bored on weekdays, so let her stay in the palace to entertain the queen mother!"
It was said to relieve her boredom, but in reality it was just putting her under house arrest in the palace.
Jun Zegan frowned and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, my sister has just been found. Father can only feel at ease if he sees her every day. Please allow me to bring her back to the palace."
"Why, do you think my palace is too good, so you want to live here?" The Western Region Emperor asked coldly, "Or do you want her to stay with the Queen Mother?"
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "If you want me to be a hostage, Your Majesty, just say it directly. Why beat around the bush here?"
I didn't expect her to be so direct. Even Jun Yunting and Jun Zegan were stunned for a moment.
The Western Region Emperor, who had never been contradicted like this before, said angrily, "How dare you! Listen to what you are saying. Do you think I will really punish you?"
"You are the princess of the City Prince's Mansion, your father's daughter, why do you live in the imperial palace? This is your home, your father is sick, and it is because he is sick that you have to serve him by his sickbed. Could it be that when the emperor is sick, he hopes that your children will stay away from you, for fear of being infected by the disease? As for you saying that you want to accompany the queen mother." She sneered: "I heard that the emperor has many children, and the queen mother is your biological mother and your children's grandmother. Why don't you use them to accompany you, but instead choose someone you have never met and have no blood relationship with to accompany you?"
She raised her chin and looked straight at him: "I heard that when Princess Luoyun was in the palace, you loved her very much and never asked for this. Why did it happen here?"
"Your Majesty, you disobeyed my order!" The Western Region Emperor shouted angrily, "Come here! Take him away! Beat him with fifty sticks! Put him in jail and wait for his punishment!"
