A maid entered the study carrying a tray and placed it gently on the table
"Your Majesty, Shangguancheng is out here asking for an audience!" the maid said cautiously.
Shangguancheng? Murong Lie put down the scroll and said, "Tell him to wait in the hall. I will come soon!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The waitress bowed and stepped back.
Outside the hall, Shangguancheng was anxiously waiting to see the prince soon. How should he speak about breaking off the engagement? If he didn't say it well and offended the prince, things would be in trouble. The friendship established over the years
The relationship will collapse because of this, what should we do? Alas! His head hurts just thinking about it, and he couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.
Outside the gate, a tall man walked in with elegant steps, walked straight to the chair in front of the hall and sat down, looking at Shangguan City with calm eyes.
"See you, Your Majesty!" Shangguancheng saluted hurriedly, his voice gentle and nervous.
"No courtesy!" Murong Lie waved his hand, showing that he didn't need to be polite. He noticed that he looked a little nervous and frowned: "Is something wrong?"
"Uh, that... my daughter's marriage." When he mentioned the word "marriage", sweat poured down his forehead. He hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and thought hard, "I'd better forget about my daughter's marriage to the prince!"
"
Murong Lie was startled for a moment, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, which was quickly replaced by a look of displeasure. He said in a deep voice: "What's going on?" His voice sounded calm, but the deep voice gave people a strong feeling in his heart.
sense of coercion
Shangguancheng gritted his teeth, cupped his hands and said, "I would like to thank the prince for agreeing to this marriage, but my daughter is still young after all, and I am too impatient, so this marriage..." At this point, he really couldn't say anything.
After going down, he felt Murong Lie's eyes on his neck like a knife, making him shudder.
"You mean, you want to cancel the engagement?" Murong Lie narrowed his dangerous eyes and looked at him, "You were the one who proposed the marriage, and now you are the one who wants to cancel the engagement! Are you kidding me?"
Shangguan Cheng was shocked and almost knelt down, "I don't dare!"
"Is it what your daughter means?" Murong Lie didn't know why he asked this, but his childish face suddenly flashed in his mind.
