Chapter 809 A Head-on Confrontation

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?"

Su Ruji seemed to be irritated by Yun Shang. Her eyes were cold, as if she wanted to skin Yun Shang alive.

Yun Shang was still smiling quietly, while Lady Zhang, who was standing aside, couldn't help shivering and lowered her head.

Just as the two of them were about to begin quarreling, a voice suddenly came from the room, "Shang'er, come in and have a look. Does the color look good?"

Before Yun Shang could respond, Su Ruji's face suddenly changed. She walked past Yun Shang, heading directly into the room.

Qian Zhuo and Qin Yi were all in the room. Yun S

cept it. She took a few steps back and murmured with a crying and smiling face, "How could it be possible? How could it be possible?"

Yun Shang just looked at her silently.

Biting her lips, Su Ruji's face was bloodless. After a while, she said, "How could it be possible? How dare he be willing to be an enemy of the whole world for you?"

Su Ruji kept talking for several times. She stared at Lady Zhao with her eyes wide open, and her eyes gradually turned red. After a while, she sneered and pointed at Lady Zhao, "It's all your fault, Hua Ling. It's all your fault! Today I will..."

"I'll kill you!"

Before she could finish the last three words, Su Ruji pulled out the dagger in her sleeve and stabbed it toward Lady Zhao.

Qian Zhuo, who had been standing next to Lady Zhao, reacted it immediately and rushed up to Su Ruji, knocked her to the ground, grabbed the dagger in her hand, and threw it out from the open window.

After the weapon in her hand was snatched away, Su Ruji seemed to lose her strength and fell to the ground, muttering, "How could it be possible..."

Yun Shang frowned and was about to ask Qian Zhuo to help her up. Although Su Ruji had lost her position as an empress, she was still a member of the Su clan. Now Yun Shang still had to consider the power of the Su clan.

However, before Qian Zhuo's hand could touch Su Ruji's clothes, Su Ruji dodged it. Yun Shang saw that Su Ruji's face gradually recovered. Although she was still in a daze, she seemed to have regained her composure.

Without any hesitation, Su Ruji stood up slowly by herself and looked at Lady Zhao quietly. After a long time, she said indifferently, "Hua Ling, I lost to you once more than 20 years ago. This time, I won't lose to you again. Just wait and see. This time, I won't let you win at all costs."

After saying that, she glanced at the people in the room slowly, turned around and left the room, like a peacock who had been defeated but still raised her head.
