Chapter 809 A Head-on Confrontation (1/2)

Hearing Yun Shang's words, everyone was lost in thought.

Yun Shang continued, ”I think it's more like a tactic to lower our vigilance. I'm afraid Su Qi and Su Ruji will arrive in these two days.”

The real battle hadn't begun yet.

Yun Shang curled up her lips, but she had nothing to fear. This battle was inevitable, but because of the appearance of Empress Hua, it had been advanced. Yun Shang turned to look at Lady Zhao, who was sitting on the deck chair with a smile, and smiled too. She had already set a trap for Su Qi.

But to Yun Shang's surprise, it was Su Ruji who came straight to the mansion.

When Yun Shang heard Lady Zhang's report, she was also surprised. She turned around and looked at the expressionless Lady Zhao. After a long silence, she muttered, ”So she is here to declare a war?”

No wonder Yun Shang made such a guess. Su Ruji's visit to Lingxi City should have been well concealed, but she did it so blatantly. It was really out of Yun Shang's expectation.

Lady Zhao raised her eyebrows, with a little confusion in her eyes. After a while, she said, ”I have lost my memory.”

Hearing this, Yun Shang smiled with a playful look in her eyes. She looked up at Lady Zhang, who was surprised, and said, ”Go bring the Em...” Yun Shang paused, remembering that the Empress had been abolished and now she was just a commoner.

After a moment of silence, she continued, ”Lead that lady in.”

After thinking for a while, Yun Shang ordered Qin Yi, ”Go and do some makeup for Her Ladyship.”

Qin Yi answered and took Lady Zhao back to her room.

Yun Shang stood up and went to the yard to wait. After a while, Lady Zhang led Su Ruji into the yard. Yun Shang smiled and walked up to her. She bent her knees slightly and said, ”Your Majesty.”

With a mocking smile on her face, Su Ruji looked at Yun Shang indifferently and said in a somewhat cold and sarcastic voice, ”Majesty? Your Highness, you don't have to be so polite. I'm not the Empress now. I should bow to you as an ordinary citizen.”

Pretending not to sense the irony in it, Yun Shang quickly changed the way she called her with a smile, ”Madam, you must be kidding.”

Su Ruji glanced at Yun Shang and looked around the yard, as if she was looking for something. After a while, she looked back at Yun Shang and asked, ”Where is Empress Hua?”

”Empress Hua?” Yun Shang still pretended, ”Empress Hua? Who is she?”
