On this side.

Yuan Xiao was called to the queen's residence by the queen. As soon as he arrived, the queen slapped him hard.

"You unfilial son! For the sake of a woman, you actually let my perfumer be exposed in front of others. Do you know the consequences of doing this?"

The queen was extremely angry. In the past, Yuan Xiao was indulged in women and did nothing.

She had thought that he would have repented after this lesson, but who knew that he was still so absurd.

Yuan Xiao's face was slapped to one side by this slap. He looked at the queen unwillingly and said, "This is the palace of the Yuan Kingdom. Why should we be afraid of a Black Dragon Group?"

"Moreover, mother, aren't you afraid that Freya will become a stumbling block for us? Now I'm taking action to hypnotize her and make her work for us. Maybe she can become a puppet for us in the future. I really don't know what I did wrong!"

Yuan Xiao said these words confidently, which made the queen even angrier. She raised her hand and was about to slap him again.

At this time, a black shadow flashed by and quickly stopped the queen's action.

"Your Majesty is not in good health and should not be angry. It's better to calm down and have a good talk with the prince!"

Yuan Xiao was already in a bad mood after being slapped. When he saw Li Wushuang appear, his anger flared up.

"Don't come here to deceive my mother. Even if mother doesn't rule the Yuan Kingdom in the future, there's still me, Yuan Xiao. It's not your turn, an outsider, to worry about it."

The queen's strong rejection of Freya was largely due to Li Wushuang's instigation.

Although he didn't know why Li Wushuang was so determined to kill Freya, Yuan Xiao knew that it was definitely not for the interests of the Yuan Kingdom.

Upon hearing Yuan Xiao's accusation, Li Wushuang showed an innocent expression. "Your Highness, I'm loyal to the queen and have no other intentions. You can't impose a false charge on me."

She used "you" instead of "Your Highness", which made Yuan Xiao frown even more unhappily. Then he snorted twice. "Whether you're loyal or have ulterior motives, I believe only Leader Li knows in her heart."

Li Wushuang's ambition had long been exposed. She trained the Skull Army behind the scenes, but they only listened to her orders. She had objections to the arrangements of the royal family and would only agree to help after getting Li Wushuang's consent.

This was already very obvious. However, the queen knew it but still favored Li Wushuang all the time, which made Yuan Xiao very confused.

"Enough, Xiao'er!" Seeing Yuan Xiao being so hostile towards Li Wushuang, the queen scolded sternly.

Yuan Xiao retorted dissatisfiedly, "Mother, if you keep being so stubborn, you will eventually raise a wolf that will bring disaster. At that time, the Yuan Kingdom will no longer be named Yuan, but Li!"

When these words were spoken, the queen's face obviously changed. She raised her hand angrily and slapped Yuan Xiao again.

This time, the force was even greater than before. Yuan Xiao's face was slapped to the side again, and the handprint on his face was so red that it seemed to be bleeding.

Being slapped by his mother repeatedly, the man's self-esteem was obviously severely damaged. He roared at the queen out of control.

"Since mother doesn't listen to my words, then from now on, mother should no longer care about my affairs. As for Freya, she's my person. If anyone dares to touch her, I will definitely kill her by any means."

Although these words were spoken to the queen, Yuan Xiao's eyes were fixed on Li Wushuang.

Li Wushuang was a person who had experienced many ups and downs. She was not moved by Yuan Xiao's warning at all. Instead, she bowed to him calmly.

This made Yuan Xiao so angry that he kicked the table.

After he left in a huff, Li Wushuang came behind the queen and reached out to massage her shoulders. "Your Majesty, there's no need to be angry with the prince because of me. The prince was just confused by beauty for a while and lost his sense of proportion."

"When he stumbles badly because of that woman, he will surely figure it out."

Upon hearing this, the queen let out a deep sigh. "Xiao'er has been willful since he was a child. You should be more tolerant of him on weekdays and try not to have conflicts with him. Otherwise, I'm really worried that one day I will drive him away."

The corners of Li Wushuang's mouth curled up slightly, and then she said respectfully, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The prince is still a child after all. I won't argue with him."

The queen let out a hum, patted Li Wushuang's hand, and said, "As for the matter of Freya, I will deal with it. This woman has the ability to bewitch people. Even if Xiao'er controls her with incense, keeping her in the palace for a long time will still cause trouble."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

A vicious look flashed in Li Wushuang's eyes.

Yuan Xiao guessed right. The reason why she wanted to kill Freya was not only because she was Leonard's woman. The key was that her most beloved disciple had died at the hands of this woman.

No one knew that Shadow One was the person she had personally trained.

Originally, Li Wushuang's plan was to let Shadow One gain Leonard's trust. Then, by contacting her biological brother Ying, they would bring over the forces of the Dark Web together. At that time, Li Wushuang could establish a firm foothold in the whole international arena and no longer be controlled by others.

But she never expected that Shadow One would fall in love with Leonard and even do things that would ruin her future.

In the end, she ended up dying a miserable death!

Although Li Wushuang was extremely disappointed in this disciple, she was unwilling to let the disciple she had painstakingly trained die in vain. So she transferred all her hatred to Leonard and Freya.

She not only wanted Leonard to pay the price but also wanted to destroy this woman Freya!

Of course, it was too easy to let her die.

The greatest punishment for Freya was to turn her into a puppet after her death and make her restless even in death!

Although the queen had her back to Li Wushuang, she could feel the bursts of coldness coming from behind.

In fact, she was very clear about Li Wushuang's ambition. But because of Li Wushuang's current power, she could only choose to turn a blind eye.

On the one hand, it was to protect the interests of the Yuan Kingdom from being damaged.

On the other hand, she could buy time to find a way to resist Li Wushuang!

The reason why she didn't tell Yuan Xiao these things was out of her determination to protect him.

After all, the more people who knew, the more dangerous it would be.

Moreover, Yuan Xiao's temperament was too impulsive. Once he knew what Li Wushuang had done behind the scenes, he would definitely act impulsively against Li Wushuang.

At that time, the whole Yuan Kingdom would suffer a disaster that was difficult to control.

Not only would the Yuan Kingdom change its name, but even they, the people of the Yuan family, would become the ghosts under Li Wushuang's blade!

The two women each had their own thoughts. Of course, they both knew it in their hearts and didn't tear their faces apart. They always maintained a superficial peace.

Just because they hadn't found the opportunity to bring down the other party yet.
