"Report! There are a large number of soldiers outside the palace gate!"

It's just in time.

Ru Rong turned to look at Shi Xun, whose features were distorted with anger after hearing the news, and chuckled, "You are the one who can't escape even if you have wings."

"You! How dare you play tricks on me?!" Shi Xun was so excited that he drew his sword and pointed it at Her Royal Highness the Princess sitting beside him.

All the officials exclaimed: "Protect Her Royal Highness the Princess! Protect Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

But they were stopped by the guards around them with knives.

"Since you don't dare to take action, there will be no such opportunity."

He raised his hand to signal for silence, and the guards put away their knives and knelt respectfully towards Ru Rong.

Ru Rong stood up, smoothed the wrinkles on his body, and walked slowly towards the center of the hall. His voice was calm: "Go ahead and take down all the rebels."

"Ah-"

Before Shi Xun could react and rush to Ru Rong, the shoulder of the hand holding the sword had been pierced by the sword. Shi Xun's hand suddenly lost strength, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

Another arrow hit his right leg.

"you…"

Shi Xun was unable to move and could only half-kneel on the ground, staring fiercely at Ru Rong as she climbed the stairs step by step.

The secret guard Wen Ke quickly took Shi Xun down from behind the pearl curtain behind the dragon throne.

"Cough..." Shi Xun was pressed to the ground, and Wen Ke stepped on the wound on his shoulder. He was so angry that he coughed up blood.

Everything happened so fast, the situation in the hall changed again and again, and the rebels who were so aggressive just now were all captured.

Wen Ke still looked somewhat shocked. He handed Shi Xun over to his subordinates and quickly walked behind Ru Rong, asking softly with a bit of anxiety and concern in his tone, "Why didn't Your Highness hide? What if the arrow I shot hadn't been fired, and if Your Highness was injured..."

Ru Rong looked relaxed, with the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "But didn't you save me in time?"

"Yes."

Wen Ke had no choice but to give up. Protecting his master was his lifelong duty.

Shi Xun, who was controlled by the guards, hung his head weakly, with blood in his mouth and on his shoulders dripping stickily. His plan was obviously foolproof, and he had obviously got the tiger talisman. Those soldiers should have obeyed his orders. How could this happen? How could this happen?

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Ru Rong in the center of the hall, gritting his teeth and saying, "Tiger Talisman! Tiger Talisman, the Tiger Talisman you gave me is fake!!"

Ru Rong looked outside the hall door and saw that the mobilized soldiers had surrounded the entire hall.

General Wang stepped into the hall, knelt respectfully, and said in a serious voice: "I, Wang Chuxing, greet the Princess Regent. Your Highness, the rebels gathered outside the palace have all been captured and eliminated. I convey His Majesty's decree that you will now be acting as the Princess Regent and everything is at your disposal."

The situation had already stabilized. Ru Rong had obviously anticipated this outcome and was forced to accept it.

But his face remained calm, and he said calmly: "I will wait until my brother comes back to take this position."

All the officials in the court knelt and bowed: "Greetings to the Princess Regent."

"Regent...Princess..."

Shi Xun suddenly fell to the ground in dejection, muttering to himself.

"Get up, you are all frightened today. I will give you a reasonable explanation in the future."

"Yes." All the officials were frightened and quickly left the hall and walked out of the palace one after another.

Ru Rong turned her head to look at Shi Xun, who was standing beside her like a lost dog, and looked down at him, "What do you think? If you hadn't rebelled today, the royal family would have kept the secret of the Shi family's rebellion ten years ago forever. But you rebelled today, and you personally revealed the secret ten years ago. The Shi family's reputation for a hundred years has been ruined by you."

"Ah! I will kill you!!" His face was ferocious and he was shouting madly, but he couldn't move at all.

Now there is no one else in the palace except his confidants.

"If you don't rebel today, you might be able to get some real power from me. But if you rebel, I will take you down, and it will be that easy for me to be the regent princess. And you, you will never get this kingdom."

She did not mean to hide anything, and her tone was too casual. Although it was not visible on her face, Shi Xun could not help but feel a chill at the feeling of being played around by her.

Shi Xun looked up at her. She was always so calm and composed. Her tone just now made it seem as if the kingdom he had been fighting for was just a toy to her. She could get it when she wanted it and throw it away at any time when she didn't want it.

The secret guard Wen Ke put a cloak on Ru Rong. She raised her hand to gather it together. It was snowing, but it was a pity that it was stained with blood.

Shi Xun looked lifeless at this time, "Has your ambition been to conquer this country from the beginning?"

"No, you are wrong. This is not ambition."

"If you don't have ambition, then why are you fighting for this position with your brother who is born to the same mother?"

Ru Rong raised her eyebrows slightly, paused and said, "I was forced to accept this. My father and mother gave me a legitimate position to govern the court, allowing me to pave the way for my brother's prosperity without any worries."

"Aren't you afraid that you will be accused of being more powerful than your master and be killed by your royal brother?" Shi Xun wanted to tear the person in front of him to pieces.

"No, after my brother returns from the Northern Frontier and ascends the throne, I will feel at ease to return to Mount Futu."

Shi Xun was stunned. Yes, the little princess of Xiyan Kingdom was spotted by Daoying Immortal at the age of seven. Since then, she has been living in Futu Mountain and has even learned the art of cultivating immortals. If it were not for her engagement with him, she would not have come down the mountain.

So, in the end she will still leave, she never belongs to herself.

It was before, it is now, and it will be in the future.
