Chapter 855 A Decisive Action

However, what they saw was not the expected imperial seal, but Xia Huanyu's cold face. Behind him were Luo Qingyan, Empress Hua and Yun Shang.

The faces of both Su Qi and Su Ruji suddenly blanched. Su Qi took two steps backward and shouted, "Guards! Call them now! "

But no one came, and no one responded. Su Ruji also stepped back, pale-faced and stupefied..

However, Luo Qingyan, who was standing next to Xia Huanyu, smiled, "Do you think there will be anyone to save you since we are already here?"

Xia Huanyu walked out from the back of the wall and slowly came before both of them. It was not until then did they find that the secret passage was illuminated as bright as day by the torches. Behind them, were countless people in armors. They were all dressed as the palace guards.

Su Ruji was calmer than Su Qi. Knowing that she would lose the game completely this time, she calmed down and said, "Aren't you celebrating the first month of King Mingjin in the Crown Prince's Mansion? Why are you here all of a sudden? "

Xia Huanyu sneered. As soon as the imperial edict was issued that Bao'er should be King Mingjin, Su Ruji had already known the title of Bao'er.

"You want to ask why we appear here for no reason, and why no one informed you and gave you a chance to escape, right?" Xia Huanyu's voice was full of coldness. He stared at Su Ruji as if he was looking at a completely strange person.

Su Ruji smiled bitterly and said, "I forgot that your Majesty was also the general of the battlefield when you were young, but these schemes should not have attracted your Majesty's attention."

However, Xia Huanyu didn't want to talk to her anymore.

Leaning against a pillar, Su Ruji tried her best not to fall down. With a bitter smile on her face, she said, "Now that the situation is over, your majesty can tell me where I have lost. Even if I have to die, you just let me know about it."

Neither Xia Huanyu nor Luo Qingyan made a sound. Empress Hua and Su Ruji didn't know each other, so they had nothing to say. Yun Shang looked at the three of them and couldn't help laughing. "Your Highness, are you waiting for the news of General Su Ruhai?"

As soon as Yun Shang finished her words, Su Ruji's face changed.

Yun Shang smiled and said, "Your highness want to buy time. Since his majesty didn't say anything, why don't you let me have a chat with you? What do you want to ask?

Do you want to ask us why we knew that your highness would take action in the palace and order the ministers with the imperial seal? Or do you want to ask why no one sent a signal to you after we left Crown Prince's Mansion? Or do you want to ask why we know what Su Ruhai has done? Or, why didn't we go to the Su Mansion when you were badly injured in that fire? "

From these seemingly questions, Su Ruji knew that all their arrangements had been seen through by the people in front of her, and they had no way out. Her eyes were red, but she became sober and calm. She said to Yun Shang, "If you don't mind, you can tell me. I have plenty of time now. If you say something more, maybe I can live for a longer time. Why not?"

Yun Shang smiled and walked up to Su Ruji, saying,

ion, but they can't see clearly their appearance.

Your Majesty, you should know that I had a difficult labor before because I was trapped in an ice cellar, but you may not know how I got there. There was a passage from the palace to Princess Tai An's mansion, and there is another tunnel from her mansion to Crown Prince's Mansion. We first ordered the imperial army to wait in Princess Tai An's mansion, and then they went through the tunnel to the palace. After that, we secretly dispose of all the people who your majesty and the Field Marshal had brought into the palace.

Your Majesty asked Field Marshal Su to secretly transfer people here from the Imperial Guard camp, but you forgot that even if the Imperial Guard camp is under the control of Field Marshal Su, it is hard to guarantee that no one will discover your plot as there are so many soldiers in the camp."

Yun Shang smiled and stood up, "I've said enough. What else do you want to know, your majesty?"

Su Ruji's face had already paled for a long time, but she still forced a smile and said, "No. How could I still have any questions? I have no choice but to die. I'm just a member in his Majesty's imperial household. Even as the Empress, I have to call myself concubine when I meet his majesty. Twenty-eight years. I have been with his majesty for twenty-eight years. We have been together day and night for twenty-eight years. In the end, I can only end up like this. What else can I say?

Well," said Su Ruji. She turned around and saw Empress Hua behind her, calm and silent. She said to her smilingly, "You are lucky. You have been loved by the emperor of a country for more than 20 years, but so what if you are loved by him again? Maybe you would end up with a miserable ending, too? I'm your example. Hua Ling, take care of yourself. "

As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Shang sensed something abnormal. She stepped forward and saw black blood oozing from the corner of Su Ruji's mouth. Her body suddenly fell to the side, but she was still smiling while murmuring, "Take care of yourself..."

Then she tilted her head and lost her breath.
