Later, when Li Susu gained power, she naturally wanted to get revenge.

At that time, the favored Li Susu was unstoppable, and even when she personally intervened, she was almost punished by the emperor.

She realized the seriousness of the problem and regarded Li Susu as a thorn in her side. The two have been fighting each other openly and secretly ever since.

Now, through various schemes and strategies, they have finally managed to imprison Li Susu.

Who would have thought that this woman could be rescued under such circumstances?

"Your Majesty, it seems that Consort Li is indeed a spy from another country..."

The Empress looked at Shangguan Yuanyang and added fuel to the fire by saying something.

If no one had broken into the prison, Li Susu might have had a chance to clear her name, but now that she has been rescued in the chaos, the charge of treason has been confirmed.

The palace is full of royal guards; apart from people from enemy countries, who would dare to rescue her?

Moreover, now that this has happened, even if Shangguan Yuanyang wanted to rekindle his old relationship with Li Susu, there's absolutely no way to change the situation.

Sure enough, upon hearing the Empress's words, Shangguan Yuanyang's expression turned very unpleasant.

In fact, as the ruler of a country, he did have some feelings for Li Susu.

Because Li Susu was not only stunningly beautiful, but she also solved many of his livelihood problems.

What man wouldn't like a woman who possesses both beauty and intelligence?

But the hearts of emperors are mostly cold.

Li Susu's concealment of her martial arts skills frightened him, fearing that one day he might fall asleep and never wake up again.

In addition, the Empress was the daughter of the Prime Minister and held a pivotal position in the court, so even he dared not go too far.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, he had no choice but to sacrifice Li Susu in order to secure his imperial throne.

"Let's not talk about that now, Commander Yan."

"The end will be here."

"Take a team of men and capture Consort Li alive."

"As ordered!"

"General Wang."

After Commander Yan left, Shangguan Yuanyang looked at the armored general beside him.

"emperor"

"Send someone to ask what this assassin wants to do."

"promise!"

The captain respectfully clasped his hands in a fist salute, then turned and ordered a captain of the Imperial Guard to go and negotiate with Lu Yun.

Seeing this, the Empress said no more.

For her now, as long as Li Susu is not in the palace, whether she lives or dies is not important.

Moreover, Li Susu has now completely lost the Emperor's trust, and it would be incredibly easy for her to kill him.

Yes, at least that's what she thinks.

Unfortunately, they underestimated Lu Yun's abilities.

While everyone waited anxiously, the Imperial Guard captain who had run over to communicate with Lu Yun returned.

Although there was no conflict between the two sides, he looked very unhappy.

"Your Majesty...the assassin said...said..."

"say what?"

Seeing the other party hesitate, Shangguan Yuanyang frowned.

Upon seeing this, General Wang also spoke up angrily.

"At this point, why are you still keeping me in suspense? Just tell me!"

He said..

The general glanced timidly at the Empress, then lowered his head and said weakly, "He said he has long heard of Your Majesty's unparalleled beauty and that his main purpose in coming to the palace is to seek Your Majesty's favor..."

"Bastard!"

"Bold."

"court death."
