Chapter 856 He Has Always Been There For You (1/2)

Seeing Su Ruji had died, Yun Shang touched her face subconsciously to see if she was disguised by someone else. Then Yun Shang bent down to smell, but she didn't smell any medicine.

This time, it was the real Su Ruji.

Yun Shang raised her head and smiled. Su Qi panicked and stepped back in a hurry. He stared at Su Ruji's corpse, as if he had lost his mind all of a sudden.

Yun Shang looked at Su Qi coldly. The Su family had been favored for more than two hundred years. Su Qi was probably much worse director than the previous ones in charge of the family. He had tried every means to send Su Ruji to the Palace, but only with the prestige and the supports the Su family had accumulated in the court for nearly hundred years, he managed to hold on.

However, Su Qi didn't know how to restrain himself. He wanted to attract everyone's attention, but he was not smart enough and left many hidden dangers.

Su Ruji gradually gained a firm foothold in the imperial household and was able to help the Su family which was already on the decline. Xia Huanyu might have had the intention to take action against the Su family. The Su family's perseverance till now had something to do with Su Ruji's efforts in the imperial household.

As soon as Su Ruji died, it meant that the Su clan was going to be over. Naturally, Su Qi was extremely sad.

”Guards, drag the traitor down.” Xia Huanyu's voice was cold, and he didn't even give a glance at the corpse of Su Ruji from beginning to end.

The palace guards rushed in from the outside, restrained Su Qi and pulled him out.

Yun Shang faintly heard the signal from a secret guard. She raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Xia Huanyu and Empress Hua. She smiled and said, ”I'll go out to see what's going on outside.”

After saying that, Yun Shang bowed and walked out of the Taiji Palace.

Outside the Taiji Palace, the palace was under the control of the palace guards. The figures of the palace guards could be seen everywhere. Yun Shang walked to a corner, and a piece of paper fell down from the beam above her head. Yun Shang took the paper and unfolded it.

She frowned and looked at the note. There were only a few words on it: The seventh Prince has arrived at Jin City.

Yun Shang had guessed where the seventh Princes would go after he fled. She thought he was going to the frontier to dispatch troops. But she didn't expect him to return to the Jin City so soon. Didn't he plan to seize the throne now?

But now Luo Qingyan had become the Crown Prince. Even if the seventh Prince returned to the Jin City, it would be difficult for him to turn over.
