The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

Chapter 450 Tell the truth

"Forget it." She slowly let go of his hand: "Go back! Your father must miss you very much."

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Grandmother, when Ruoyi is free, I will definitely come here to accompany you." Her voice was so soft that only the Queen Mother could hear it.

Hearing her say this, the Queen Mother smiled even more and stretched out her hand to pinch her little face: "I'll wait."

Shang Ruoyi followed Jun Zeqian back to the palace first, and the King of the City came back only after dark.

"Where's the princess?"

Upon hearing this, the housekeeper hurriedly said, "After dinner, the princess went to your study and said that you must have something to say to her. You said before that the princess could go in and out of the palace, so I didn't stop her."

A smile flashed across the King's eyes. His daughter was truly extremely intelligent.

He came to the study and saw Shang Ruoyi concentrating on reading the book in her hands.

"What are you reading?" His eyes fell on the book in her hand and he smiled: "You grew up in Tianshun, so you should really take a good look at the customs and practices of our Western Regions."

Shang Ruoyi put the book down and said, "Father, you really made me wait so long. If I don't read the book, I'm afraid I will fall asleep."

"The Emperor kept my father in the palace. Do you know why?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded, holding her chin with her hand: "What else could it be? It's nothing more than theft from the national treasury."

A look of "as expected" flashed across the King's eyes, and he whispered, "Do you have anything to say to your father?"

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "If I say no, what will father do?"

"What else can I do? If you have nothing to say, then play a game of chess with Father."

Shang Ruoyi heard this and waved her hand: "Forget it! I heard from my brother that when playing chess, father is not a gentleman and can't even follow the rule of not regretting a move."

The King of the City blushed slightly: "Don't listen to your brother's nonsense, your father's chess skills are still very good." He coughed a few times: "If you don't want to play chess, it's okay, then have a few drinks with your father?"

"Father, do you want me to speak the truth after I drink?"

The City King said nothing, his eyes fixed on the candlelight in front of him.

Shang Ruoyi curled the corners of her lips slightly, and with a wave of her hand, a pure gold wine glass appeared in her palm.

Her hand movements were not concealed, and the City King saw them clearly.

His pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes stared at the wine glass in her hand without blinking.

"How can you drink without a wine glass?" Shang Ruoyi placed the wine glass in front of him, spread out her palm, and another wine glass appeared in her palm.

The King of the City swallowed and looked at her blankly: "Ruoyi, this..."

"Originally I didn't want to tell anyone, but since you broke into the palace at night for me and even turned against the emperor, I won't hide it anymore."

After hearing her words, the City King was stunned for a long time.

He recognized these two wine glasses. They were clearly things from the national treasury, and there were even the seal of the national treasury on them.

He didn't believe in the so-called supernatural powers, but looking at the scene before him, it was impossible not to believe.

Not everyone has the ability to make something appear out of thin air, at least it's not a trick used by quacks.

"Ruoyi, could it be that father is already drunk before he even drinks?"

Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "What's there to not believe?" She stretched out her hand, and the next moment, a huge wine jar appeared in her palm. The rich aroma of the wine brought him back to his senses instantly.

Drunk, he must be drunk,

Otherwise, how could he think his daughter was a fairy?

"I was the one who emptied the treasury." After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and the table in front of them disappeared, along with the wine jars and glasses on the table. Only the aroma of wine floating in the air reminded him that everything he had just seen was real.

She waved her hand and the table reappeared.

Shang Ruoyi poured him a glass of wine.

"Father, do you believe it now?"

The City King nodded woodenly, then began to cough violently.

Now, he finally came back to his senses.

Miracle! Miracle!

I never thought my daughter would have such magical powers.

"You said you emptied the treasury using the same method you just used?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Not bad."

"If it is as you said, where are those things now?"

"I have my own place to store them. Father, do you want to take these things back?"

The King of the City smiled and said, "Since you have the ability to take the things away, your father will naturally not let you return them, but your father just wants to know why you did this."

Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but feel a little surprised when she heard this.

Seeing her expression, the King of the City couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"This treasury is the foundation of the Western Regions. My father is the most loyal subject of the Emperor. Now that I have emptied the treasury, it has shaken the foundation of the Western Regions. My father did not even order me to return it."

"Haha." The City King smiled and said, "I am loyal to the Western Regions, not to the Emperor. Although I don't know why you want to empty the national treasury, I know that my daughter is definitely not a person without rules. You must have your reasons for doing this."

Shang Ruoyi felt warm in her heart when she heard him say this.

Only someone who truly trusts her would say such words.

"It's just money. I don't really care." Shang Ruoyi whispered, "The way of the world is that things that are divided for a long time will eventually come together, and things that are together for a long time will eventually divide. This is also in line with the way of heaven. But if the originally peaceful and stable days are disrupted by people with ulterior motives, they want to make the originally peaceful days full of killings and harm the people in order to make a profit from it, this profit may be money or power, no matter what it is, it is unacceptable to the world. Without this money, I want to see how he will stir up trouble. I'm afraid that before he even leaves the border of the Western Regions, the food and grass will be gone."

Upon hearing this, the City King raised his lips slightly and said, "As expected of my daughter!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he burst into laughter, and his laughter was full of pride.

After a while, his laughter slowly stopped, and he said seriously: "You have supernatural powers, you must not expose them to others to avoid getting into trouble."

"My daughter knows." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Father, do you have anything else you want to ask?"

The King of the City shook his head, filled the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp: "Refreshing!" He shook the wine glass in his hand: "So this is what it feels like to drink from a pure gold wine glass."

Shang Ruoyi knew that he was not talking about the wine glass, but was referring to herself.

"Emptying the national treasury may not necessarily stop the emperor's ambition to unify the world." The city king whispered, "In addition to the national treasury, our emperor also has his own private treasury. Although I have never seen it, there must be a lot of treasures in that private treasury."

Shang Ruoyi smiled mysteriously when she heard this.

The King of the City was stunned when he saw her expression: "Could it be..."

"Since I have done it, I will definitely do it completely and will not leave him even a tael of silver."
