Recalling what Ruan Jing said to her that day, she would not let herself down if she had the opportunity to get to know the Longcheng County Magistrate.

From this point of view, what she said makes sense.

The first thing Ruan Jing did when he returned to Fucheng was to meet the saint.

At this moment, the empress in the royal study room was concentrating on reviewing the memorials, while Ruan Jing was kneeling on the ground respectfully, as if he was in a solemn court.

This depressing atmosphere made the female officer next to her shiver, as if she was in a world of ice and snow.

An hour passed, and the queen finally raised her head with a kind smile, "Xiao Jing, when did you come?"

Ruan Jing kowtowed politely, "I have been here for a while, and I saw that Your Majesty was busy, so I did not dare to disturb Your Majesty."

The queen stood up from her position, with a kind smile on her face, and walked to Ruan Jing to help her up.

"Get up quickly, why are you still so unsmiling after I haven't seen you for three years?"

When her hands were about to touch her, Ruan Jing knelt and took a few steps back, hitting the ground firmly. She didn't stop until her forehead turned red.

"I am guilty. I have failed to live up to your majesty's trust. I will not be able to escape the blame for my death."

After listening to the words, the queen's face instantly turned cold, her eyes stared at Ruan Jing sinisterly, but her words still seemed gentle.

"What's wrong with Xiao Jing? I've wronged you in the past three years in Longcheng."

When Ruan Jing raised his head, the queen's expression returned to an amiable look.

Ruan Jing took out a token from his arms and raised it high, with a firm tone, "I have finally let you down in the past three years. I beg your majesty to take back the tiger talisman."

She was betting on whether the Queen would take back the Tiger Talisman. If she took it back, it would mean that she would not be able to get out of the palace wall today. On the contrary, she would be confident that she could compete.

The Queen's thoughts turned over and over again. Ruan Jing had always regarded the Tiger Talisman as a treasure, more important than her own life. How could she be willing to let it go this time?

"Xiao Jing, what are you talking about? If you hadn't been guarding Longcheng in the past three years, the city would have been destroyed long ago. Aren't you feeling like this now?"

After hearing this, Ruan Jing closed his eyes tightly, the guilt on his face clearly evident.

"I was ordered to search for the person in the dark place, but now I have found nothing. I am even more embarrassed to hold the tiger talisman. I beg your majesty to accept the tiger talisman, otherwise I will have trouble sleeping and eating for the rest of my life."

The queen's face showed helplessness, looking at Ruan Jing as if she were a naughty child.

"Xiao Jing, I've seen you since I was a kid. I don't know your character. Those who are looking for someone in the dark need to figure it out slowly. I've been waiting for you for so many years, and I don't care if it takes more than three years.

Now is the time for the government to appoint people. Your actions this time will trap me in injustice. "

Ruan Jing was instantly panicked and replied in a panic, "I have no such intention."

At this moment, she was like a child who had done something wrong, looking at the Queen at a loss, as if begging her to support her.

The Queen sighed and helped Ruan Jing up, with indescribable excitement on her face, "Good boy, I won't be here in a hundred years, and Dongning Country needs you..."

Before he finished speaking, Ruan Jing hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty will live forever."

After hearing this, the smile on the queen's face became even brighter, "Why do you kneel down again after talking so well? You really think that I am a monster. I can live for tens of millions of years. I only hope that the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe as long as I live."

Ruan Jing looked at her sincerely, "Your Majesty's wishes are all my wishes."

The queen took Ruan Jing's hand and walked towards the royal desk. The female officer took a stool and set it up with a hint of eye.

"Those girls of mine think about national affairs every day and are very boring. Fortunately, you are back and can talk to me."

At this moment, the Queen is like an ordinary mother and father chatting with their children.

But Ruan Jing knew that all this was an illusion. She was testing her loyalty step by step. If she said anything wrong, she would definitely be suspicious. “It is my honor to be able to speak with His Majesty.”

The Queen laughed and said, "Where did you learn the rhetoric? I think the trip to Longcheng also benefited you. You learned how to speak."

Ruan Jing lowered his head in shame, "In the past, it was my fault that I was ignorant and made Your Majesty worried."

"Hey, what are you talking about? People always have to experience the ignorance of youth before they know what they want. You are just grown up now."

After speaking, she looked at Ruan Jing and said, "I heard that Liu Zi went to look for you."

Ruan Jing's face suddenly turned red, and he avoided the Queen's gaze. It seemed that he had used great courage to say one word firmly, "Yes."

The Queen laughed with satisfaction, "You can do it. When did you fall in love with my sixth son? It was so well hidden that even I didn't notice it."

Ruan Jing seemed not to hear the meaning of her words and answered honestly, "Three years ago, I had a startling glance at the city wall, and I can no longer forget the Sixth Prince."

Thinking of what happened back then, the Queen spoke in a lonely tone, "I was the one who delayed you three years ago," she said, patting Ruan Jing's shoulder, "Although the love between children is long, you can't forget the business."

Ruan Jing replied respectfully, "I dare not forget."

How could she forget what happened in the past? Each one of them was engraved in her heart.

The queen nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, you will stay with me for a long time. Go home quickly. If you don't go back to the Prime Minister's country, they will come to rob me."

Ruan Jing bowed respectfully and left.

In the Imperial Study Room, the Queen's face was extremely cold, and she stared at the door of the Imperial Study Room like a snake and a scorpion.

"Dexi, do you think she is really loyal or fake?"

The female official bent even lower and answered carefully, "The King of Donglong County is the most loyal to your Majesty."

After hearing this, the Queen laughed softly, with a biting coldness in her laughter.

"Dexi, you have been with me for many years, but you are still so timid."

Dexi quickly knelt down on the ground, trembling and afraid to speak.

The queen glanced at her with disgust and said, "Get out of here."

Dexi obeyed the holy order and rolled out of the imperial study room.

After leaving the palace gate, Ruan Jing's expression changed, and she looked at the tiger talisman in her hand with dark eyes.

This time she made the right bet, and the Queen was still reluctant to kill her, and she had to remove the obstacles for her herself.

But who is getting in the Queen's eyes this time?

Today's success depends on Mu Yan. If she hadn't picked up some ideas from him, he wouldn't have known the meaning of using magic to defeat magic.

When facing such a hypocritical person, you should be more hypocritical and better at acting than her. Even if she doesn't believe you, at least she will think about it for a moment after hearing what she wants to hear from you.

It's just that she didn't hear this earlier when she was young, otherwise it wouldn't have lasted so long and there would be nothing she could do.

From the various expressions of the Queen today, she was even more convinced that she had deliberately released Brother Yu from the palace in order to make herself fall in love with Brother Yu and then keep her firmly in her hands.

It's a pity that the queen stepped on the corpses of her brothers and sisters to ascend to the throne in this life.

She doesn't deserve the purest family love in this world, and people like her will never understand it.

Thanks for the votes from the lovely Yikusitian.
