Chapter 374: Princess Wuli Shang

Princess Anyang hesitated for a moment, then knelt down and bowed, "Mother, I am worried about my second sister. Is there no way out for her?"

"If you are here only to plead for the State of Guo, forget it." The Queen waved her hand in annoyance, "Your father has already issued the order. There is no room for maneuver in this matter."

Princess Anyang pursed her lips and glanced timidly at her mother.

"If there is nothing else, please leave." The queen became angry for no reason when she saw her little daughter's disgraceful appearance.

Princess Anyang bit her lip and looked at the queen again, her pretty face drooping and her toes involuntarily drawing circles on the ground.

"Look at how useless you are." The queen couldn't help scolding, "Just say what you want to say."

She had one son and two daughters. Her son was cultivated as the crown prince since he was young. He was taught by the emperor and the tutor, so she didn't have to worry about him much on a daily basis.

Instead, it is these two daughters that she devotes all her energy to.

But now it seems that the eldest daughter is spoiled and domineering and makes mistakes frequently, while the youngest daughter is a little petty and concerned about love. It can't be said that everything is going well.

"Mother." Anyang drew circles on the ground, lowered his head and said coquettishly, "You know what I want to ask."

The queen frowned and suppressed the anxiety in her heart, "Don't think about that anymore."

Anyang raised his head suddenly, his eyes filled with tears, and he looked incredulous, "Mother, you promised me before."

"I only said that you can ask your father to sound out the issue again. This time is the last time." The queen was furious and slammed the table with her palm.

Princess Anyang almost cried out loud.

Shouldn't the emperor issue an order directly? Why are you asking? What is there to ask?
Could it be possible that once the decree was issued, their entire family would be able to disobey it?

The queen seemed to see what she wanted to say, and couldn't help but sneer, "Issue an order? Do you want to make a marriage or an enemy with the Mu family?"

"You know in your heart that he has no interest in you. If he had feelings for you, how could he not have heard what His Majesty said overtly and covertly over the years?"

"The old general declined your father's proposal years ago. They insisted that the prince would inherit the Marquisate, and Princess Shang would not be suitable."

"Your son can..."

"Shut up!" The Queen picked up a book and threw it at Princess Anyang, her eyes almost spitting fire. "Don't say anything that goes against the royal etiquette. You are a princess born in the Imperial Palace, you know what you should and shouldn't do."

Princess Anyang knelt down with her skirt lifted up, pleading with tears in her eyes, "Mother, please grant my son's wish."

The queen had a splitting headache and felt that her two daughters were here to collect debts from her.

"Do you know what Mu Huaizhi said?"

"He said, 'I am suffering from a weak disease and will not live long. I am unable to marry the princess. Please find another good husband for the princess.'"

"His exact words, not a single one was lost." The queen looked at her daughter with cold eyes, "Don't you understand what he meant? The illness is just an excuse. He just doesn't want to marry you."

"If you have any shame, don't bother me anymore. I'm tired of you doing this once, twice, and three times. You should just step back and think about it."

"Princess." Madam Zhuang was also worried about this. "Just listen to what the Queen says. There are so many men in Da Qi. Why do you only want to focus on the prince? If he has no interest in you, you will only be wronged if you force yourself to marry him."

"Mother, he is the only one in my heart." "Then forget it!" The Queen could no longer bear it and lost all her patience. "What's the point of forcing a marriage? You are my daughter, Pei Mingfeng. Are you afraid that you won't be able to get married?"

"There are so many young talents, but you chose him..."

"Then who can I choose, mother? Who do you think I can choose? Can you immediately arrange a marriage for me after I tell you?"

The queen's expression changed slightly, "Anyang, watch your words, don't go too far!"

"Who can I choose? I cannot choose any of the talented young men in the court. Just because my father said that they were useful in the previous dynasty, I cannot marry a princess. Do I have to marry a barbarian prince like my elder sister? Help my father to attack foreign countries, and then be taken back in disgrace..."

"How dare you!" The queen was furious. She raised her hand with knuckled hands and pointed at Anyang, shaking continuously. She must have been very angry.

Madam Zhuang was anxious and angry. She ran to Princess Anyang to comfort her, "Princess, how can Princess Zhannan compare to you? You and Princess Guoguo are both the Queen's biological daughters. No one else can go to marry, it can't be you. Why do you belittle yourselves like this? Saying this hurts the Queen's heart."

"Mother, I just want to marry someone I love and spend my life with him. Why is it so difficult?" Anyang fell to the ground, crying.

"I don't want to be like my second sister, marrying a playboy and getting tired of each other. I just want... to have a little happiness. Is that wrong?"

The queen pushed her forehead tiredly and said coldly, "Don't even think about Xuanping Marquis's Mansion. Change one, and the queen mother will definitely fulfill your wish."

Anyang wiped her tears and raised her head, saying firmly, "Mother, I will never change my mind in this life."

"If I can't marry into the Marquis's Mansion, then it's better for my daughter not to marry."

Yu Linlang leaned against the eaves, crossed her legs, chewed beef jerky, and looked up at the vast starry sky.

The old white ape maintained the same posture as her, with his hands placed behind his head in a very humane manner, shaking his legs happily.

"I'm going to feel sleepy if you don't come soon." Yu Linlang yawned and leaned listlessly against the lone wolf.

"You are so slow and indecisive when doing things." Yu Linlang cursed softly, took out a small bag of melon seeds from the space, and ate while complaining.

"How do you know, young lady, that the palace will send someone here?" Jiujin poked his head out from behind the eaves.

"The Heavenly Family has no shame. I am so arrogant, you have to teach me a lesson so that I can learn my lesson."

"A knife is still a knife. How can we not take this opportunity to sharpen it?"

Yu Linlang clapped her hands after finishing her melon seeds. "But I didn't expect that they were so slow! I thought they would have updated the second chapter by then, but now the fourth chapter has already passed..."

Jiu Jin pursed his lips and smiled, "Miss, if you are too sleepy, go to sleep first, we will just stay here and watch over you."

Yu Linlang took out some snacks and stuffed them into Jiujin's hands. "Then I'll go back to sleep first. Call me if you need anything."

At the same time, at the intersection of the long street separating the two streets, several figures fell stiffly to the ground, and blood splattered on the window of a shop in a curved arc.

There was almost no sound of fighting. They came and cleaned up quickly. The well-trained group carried away the corpses and dispersed.

At around five o'clock in the morning, a figure wearing a green-faced, fang-toothed mask appeared at the street corner like a ghost.

"Sir, there are signs that this place has been cleaned up by someone." A dozen people wearing ghost masks scattered.

One of them touched the bloodstains left on the window frame and said, "Just now."
