Chapter 855 A Decisive Action (1/2)

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.
