Li Wushuang watched as the guards took a few steps back. Her expression, which had just relaxed a bit, turned sinister and terrifying again with Yuan Xiao's words. She continued to give the order, "Take him out."

"Yes."

These guards were all under Li Wushuang's command, so they naturally obeyed her orders. Ignoring Yuan Xiao's threat, they stepped forward and tried to restrain him.

Yuan Xiao was determined to take Freya away. In the face of the guards' attempt to restrain him, he angrily shook them off. Then he pulled out his gun and pointed it at Li Wushuang. "If anyone dares to come any closer, I'll blow your leader's head off."

The guards were afraid that Yuan Xiao would shoot, so they immediately dared not move forward.

As Li Wushuang's most trusted subordinate and someone who had an improper relationship with her, Ye Wu naturally seized Freya as a hostage at the first moment.

"Prince, you'd better put down the gun. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that Miss Bai won't get hurt."

When Yuan Xiao saw the dagger in Ye Wu's hand, which had already cut Freya's neck, he roared furiously, "Ye Wu, I'm warning you too. If you dare to hurt her, I'll make you pay a heavy price."

After saying that, Yuan Xiao directly pulled the trigger.

With a "bang", Yuan Xiao shot Ye Wu in the arm.

Suddenly, Ye Wu's miserable scream rang out in the silent atmosphere.

Ye Wu couldn't hold the dagger steadily, and it fell to the ground with a "clang". Then he pressed his wound and knelt down on one knee.

When Li Wushuang saw that her beloved assistant was injured, she immediately flew into a rage and counterattacked Yuan Xiao.

Yuan Xiao had a gun in his hand, but Li Wushuang was very fast and managed to avoid his bullets every time. Moreover, Yuan Xiao was seriously injured and simply couldn't match Li Wushuang at the moment.

Soon, Yuan Xiao was defeated, and Li Wushuang kicked him hard, sending him flying.

Freya watched this scene. At this moment, she suddenly felt that Yuan Xiao wasn't so bad after all. Although he had used improper means to try to hypnotize her, his determination to protect her had never wavered.

"Yuan Xiao, life and death are determined by fate. There's no need for you to hold on for my sake. You should leave!"

In the end, Freya couldn't bear it anymore and didn't want Yuan Xiao to risk his life for her.

Moreover, a person like Li Wushuang was too terrifying. Although Freya had only met her a few times, she could tell that this person had great ambitions. She was afraid that Li Wushuang was just biding her time in the palace of the Yuan Kingdom. Once the opportunity came, she would surely reveal her appetite to swallow up the Yuan Kingdom.

Freya wasn't interested in the survival of the Yuan Kingdom.

However, considering the international situation, allowing Li Wushuang to take over the Yuan Kingdom would only cause turmoil in the situation and was not conducive to maintaining world peace.

Therefore, if she had to choose between Yuan Xiao and Li Wushuang, Freya would choose to side with Yuan Xiao.

"Woman, since I brought you back here, there's no reason for me to let you die." Yuan Xiao said this with great manliness. Although he was spitting out blood continuously, he was still smiling.

Li Wushuang had already made up her mind to seize the Yuan Kingdom. Yuan Xiao's repeated opposition to her had already made her dissatisfied. At this moment, Li Wushuang was thinking that she might as well take this opportunity to act and directly seize the throne.

With this thought in mind, she attacked even more fiercely.

Just as she was about to land a powerful punch on Yuan Xiao, the queen's fierce shout came from ahead.

"Wushuang, stop!"

Li Wushuang's fist was just in front of Yuan Xiao's forehead. When she suddenly heard this voice, she managed to stop it.

In the face of the queen, Li Wushuang still maintained a certain degree of respect. "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

The queen had just received a report from the guards that Yuan Xiao had come to the death cell to rescue Freya. Knowing that Li Wushuang, who had revealed her ambition, would not show mercy to Yuan Xiao, she rushed over immediately.

When she saw Yuan Xiao lying on the ground, spitting out blood continuously, she was also a bit out of control emotionally and immediately criticized Li Wushuang, "Wushuang, Xiao'er is the prince of the Yuan Kingdom. Even if he has made a mistake, you shouldn't act against your superior."

These words carried a strong threat.

Upon hearing this, Li Wushuang's face immediately turned dark.

The queen had always shown her some courtesy. Even when she was in conflict with Yuan Xiao, the queen would choose to side with her out of fear of her influence. But at this moment, the queen was actually putting on the airs of a queen and reprimanding her.

This made Li Wushuang quite unhappy.

"The prince tried to kill me. Am I supposed to just stand there and let him take my life?" Li Wushuang squinted her eyes and looked at the queen arrogantly.

This time, the queen mustered up her courage and confronted Li Wushuang head-on.

"Xiao'er is the prince. Even if he wants your life, you have to endure it for me!" the queen said in a cold tone.

Li Wushuang's hand resting on her leg clenched into a tight fist.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the royal family of the Yuan Kingdom owes its current glory to me, Li Wushuang." Li Wushuang was naturally arrogant. Coupled with the queen's partiality towards her these days, her ambition had already swelled. Being scolded by the queen like this, she naturally couldn't swallow her pride and spoke without any courtesy.

Unexpectedly, the queen laughed coldly. "It's a law since ancient times that subjects serve their monarchs. Do you want to take my place and teach me how to do things instead?"

Yuan Xiao watched as the two women were at loggerheads and had no idea what was going on.

Just half an hour ago, his mother was still on Li Wushuang's side and had asked him to yield to Li Wushuang. But now, she was defying Li Wushuang completely, without the previous weakness of showing courtesy.

Yuan Xiao was filled with doubts in his heart. Just as he was about to question the queen, a group of guards suddenly rushed in from outside and reported to the queen, "Your Majesty, the Skull Army has surrendered."

Surrender?

When Li Wushuang heard this, there was an incredulous look in her eyes.

What was going on?

Why did such a big change happen just because she came to meet Freya?

"Your Majesty, what on earth did you do to my army?"

Li Wushuang rushed over menacingly and reached out with the sharp nails on her fingers to grab the queen.

At this moment, Yuan Xiao shot at her again.

Li Wushuang couldn't dodge in time, and the bullet grazed her arm, leaving a hideous bloodstain.

Then, the guards surrounded her, encircling Li Wushuang.

"Wushuang, you're too clever for your own good. You've been so bent on seizing my kingdom. But the only thing you didn't expect is that no matter how powerful your Skull Army is, it can't withstand the three perfumers I've invited."

"That's right, the Skull Army has been hypnotized by my perfumers. Now they are under my command. With my current power, I'm more than capable of uprooting you, Li Wushuang."

"No, it's impossible. You're lying to me!" Li Wushuang couldn't believe this fact.

The Skull Army was the result of her hard work for most of her life. How could it be so easy to fall into a trap and even switch sides and submit to the queen?

Li Wushuang couldn't accept it and tried to attack the queen again.

But at this moment, a familiar army entered.

They all looked dispirited, and their eyes were cold, like soulless tools.

"My army, kill for me and take over the entire palace of the Yuan Kingdom. When I sit on the throne of the queen, you will be my most trusted subordinates in the future!"
