Chapter 439: This King Disagrees
If their Crown Prince's wife made any mistake in the Western Regions, their Crown Prince would personally lead the army and flatten the Western Regions.
"No." Jun Zeqian said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if it is still the same as before in the Shang family, she will not be able to decide on her own marriage. Marrying to the Dingguo Palace may not be what she wants. Your Majesty cannot detain her in the palace because of this matter. This is unfair."
"How dare you! How dare you refute my words!" The Emperor of the Western Regions looked at the table, grabbed the inkstone and threw it at him.
His movements were not fast, but with Jun Zeqian's skills he would be able to dodge it.
Just as he was about to move his feet, he saw the look his father was giving him. He withdrew his foot, and with a loud bang, the inkstone hit him directly on the forehead.
In an instant, blood gushed out.
The Emperor of the Western Regions didn't expect that he didn't hide, and he was shocked.
"Your Majesty, please let Ruoyi go." He staggered a few times and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Ruoyi was his biological child, and he must have been an adopted child. In order to let Ruoyi return to the palace, he gave his son away. He tilted 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 are dying!"
Jun Zeqian was speechless. He was desperate. His father wanted to exchange his life for his daughter. What could he do?
"Pass on the Imperial Physician!"
Soon, the imperial physician bandaged his head and instructed: "Please take care of it for more than a month, change the dressing every day, and boil the medicine twice a day. Don't make any mistakes. The wound 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 Emperor of the Western Regions frowned, his eyes fell on the faces of Jun Zeqian and the King of the City, 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 should remember what his father said. Since he has made the emperor angry, he must pay a price.” Jun Zeqian said in a flat tone. He looked at his father who seemed to be high above him. He didn’t know who had stopped him from hiding just now.
When the Western Region Emperor heard this, his cold 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 for the attack on 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 his words, he heard the City King say calmly: "What if I don't agree?"
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: "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, "If it is my bottom line, if you touch her, it will cost me 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 stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, Madam Liu from the Empress Dowager's side is here."
"Xuan."
Soon, Nanny Liu came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother heard that Prince Cheng and the Crown Prince entered the palace late at night. The Queen Mother happened to have something to ask the Prince, so now she invites the Prince and the Crown Prince to go to Ningshou Palace."
The originally tense atmosphere eased a little, and the Western Region Emperor whispered, "Go."
Knowing that Shang Ruoyi was imprisoned in the Empress Dowager's palace, Prince Cheng and his son immediately followed Nanny Liu and left without even saying goodbye.
The Western Region Emperor was so angry that he smashed a few more pieces of porcelain.
At this time, in Ningshou Palace, Shang Ruoyi was sitting on the left side of the Empress Dowager.
"Your father and brother must have had an affair with the emperor."
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "There is no way. The emperor has detained me in the palace on these trumped-up charges. This is clearly a slap in the face of my father. My father will not let me off. Moreover, the Prince 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 are so disrespectful to speak like this in front of me. 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 watched him grow up. 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, "However, your background will surely arouse the Emperor's suspicion, which is also 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 and the prince are 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 up and down and found nothing unusual. He slowly let go of his worry, thinking that the assassin was not talking about her.
Just then, Jun Zeqian 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?"
