After being surprised, King Yan's mood became subtle.
Although it is indeed not the case, at least on the surface it is indeed a mess...
"No." Prince Yan looked at the girl and said as seriously as possible, "It is absolutely impossible for us in Prince Yan's Palace to get married to Prince Dingnan's Palace."
Hearing these categorical words, Princess Sangyun's expression froze, and she felt as if a basin of cold water was pouring down from her head. She thought that her father might disapprove, but she did not expect that she would come up with such words without any room for change.
Feeling grievances suddenly emerged in her heart, she couldn't help but ask: "But didn't my father once say that I can make the decision to choose the person I want to marry in the future?"
So, her choice must be subject to her father's approval, right?
Is this also called doing whatever you want?
"Of course you can make your own choice." Prince Yan looked at her and said sternly: "But there are some things that cannot be achieved by your choice - Sonny, do you really think that our Prince Yan's Palace will get married with Prince Dingnan's Palace?"
, will it be allowed?"
Facing those overly serious eyes, Princess Sangyun felt aggrieved and frightened, but she still mustered up the courage to ask: "...if father really loves Sonny, why can't he think of a way for Sonny to find a wife?"
Yes?"
Their eyes met, and when he saw clearly the stubbornness and grievance in the girl's eyes, King Yan shook his head slightly.
He didn't spend much time alone with the child on weekdays, and he didn't have much experience in how to deal with his daughter's worries.
However, this matter has gone far beyond the concerns of my daughter's family, and there is no reason to expose it perfunctorily.
At this moment, King Yan's eyes were filled with a lot of burdens: "Sang'er, you're not young anymore, so you shouldn't be so ignorant. Do you know that once you say something, no matter what the outcome, it will lead to helplessness?"
To avert the disaster—this permission may lead to the suspicion of rebellion.”
Hearing these very important words, Princess Sangyun's face turned pale and she tightened her hanging fingers.
Suspected of rebellion?
Was the father deliberately trying to scare her?
"There are more than one good man in this world, the grandson of King Dingnan. You are still young, and you will always be able to meet a truly suitable person who is in love with you in the future." King Yan's tone softened slightly: "By then, my father will definitely
Fulfill you."
Princess Sangyun lowered her eyes trembling with tears, pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.
Really the right person?
Appropriate or not, it’s just a word from the father, right?
She had heard that when her father proposed to marry the daughter of the Wu family, everything did not go smoothly, but he insisted on it regardless of opposition...
Now if it were her, all she could say was a cold "It's impossible"?
Whether to marry or not, she actually doesn't have a strong idea at the moment.
She did like that Wu Shisun, but she was not to the point where she would not marry him unless she did so.
At this moment, what really made her feel sad was her father's attitude of not caring about her mood... She had long realized that his father did not really love her at all!
The sharp thorn that had been hidden in her heart since she was a child came out. She raised her tear-stained face, her eyes were full of anger and she finally asked: "So I can't marry Wu Shisun, and I can't stay in the capital, right?"
"Yes." Prince Yan looked at her: "This is for Prince Yan's house and for you."
For her?
Princess Sangyun wiped away her tears: "My daughter understands that she shouldn't bother her father at all tonight."
Saying this, he blessed his body and left.
However, whether it was the tense jaw or the stubborn eyebrows, her true thoughts at this time were exposed.
This is dissatisfaction.
King Yan clearly saw this dissatisfaction. He had interacted with many people in his life, and it was not that he had never encountered the kind of people who couldn't explain it no matter how much they said it. There are so many people in the world who don't understand the truth. Some people are just because of their vision.
I really can't understand it. Some people are unwilling to calm down and try to understand it because of selfish desires.
If it is in a military camp, it can only be controlled by military law.
He didn't want to copy the routine in the military camp to the back house, especially to this mother and daughter.
But forgetting the small things in daily life, the current situation is different from the past. Now it is really a matter of pulling one hair to affect the whole body, and there is no room for any mistakes.
Looking at the girl who opened the door and retreated, King Yan said: "Dong Xiang——"
The maid who was guarding outside quickly walked in.
"The maid is here."
"Be optimistic about the princess."
"Your servant obeys your orders."
Hearing these two words of conversation, she noticed that Dongxuan was quickly catching up with her. Princess Sangyun seemed to have a fire in her heart as she stepped down the stone steps.
Dongxuan already controls her in everything, so how can she keep an eye on her? Could it be that he wants to tie her up!
Princess Sangyun walked a few steps quickly and saw that the lights were still on in the direction of the bedroom. Thinking of her mother who had always looked down upon her, she felt even more aggrieved in her heart, so she quickly walked towards the bedroom.
"Sonny..."
Seeing her coming with tears on her face, Princess Yan, who was already a little uneasy because she went to see the prince, became even more nervous, "What...what's going on? But you were reprimanded for making your father unhappy?"
Ordinarily, the prince should not be someone who easily scolds children...
Could it be that Sonny did something extremely outrageous?
Thinking of this, Princess Yan suddenly felt panicked.
Princess Sangyun's tears fell even more fiercely: "Why must I have made my father displeased! In my mother's eyes, no matter what I do, my father will be displeased!"
Don't make your father unhappy...
Mother’s background is not good, we can’t publicize it...
Your father has been good enough to us, we can’t go any further...
…
Words like this made her ears tingle!
She grew up hearing these words!
But why is this?
The mother's background was not good, but she was her father's only child and the emperor's own princess!
What is publicity and what is extravagant?
When she was a child, she felt uneasy when she listened to it, as if she was not facing her own father, but a stranger who was above him and could not overstep in the slightest!
She often couldn't help but wonder, did her father really dislike her and her mother from the bottom of his heart, so why was her mother acting like this?
And what happened tonight is more like confirming this!
Her father doesn’t love her at all!
"What's wrong with your child..." Princess Yan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed one of her daughter's arms, "Keep your voice down, don't let your father hear it..."
This sentence is tantamount to pouring oil on the fire——
"That's enough!" Princess Sangyun shook off her mother's hand, and her voice became louder: "You yourself are always timid and don't look like Princess Yan at all, but you still want me to follow you and learn from you!
Because of this, now my father cannot get close to me at all, now you are finally satisfied!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran out.
"Sonny...!"
Princess Yan chased after him for two steps and couldn't help but frowned: "This child is becoming more and more unruly now. He is not as sensible as he was when he was young. What should we do if this continues..."
Grandma sighed helplessly.
The princess and the princess each failed to live up to the expectations of the other, which made the servants like them also fearful.
However, for the sake of the future, Mammy still patiently advised: "I tell you, this family's life is no better than other things. Sometimes you do take the county management too far, and the prince is not a rigid person..."
But it seems too late to talk about this now...
I still remember the few years when the princess was born, she was as soft and glutinous as a dumpling. The prince also liked it when he saw it, but every time the princess didn't even pull the corner of the prince's clothes, the princess was so frightened that she hurriedly hugged the princess back.
That posture is like a guard against being shot!
It is true that the princess is afraid of offending the prince, but what should the prince think?
Hey, this is really a typical person who has his job brought to him by God, but overturns his job...
"Mommy, you should know my difficulties..." Princess Yan also felt very wronged: "I did all this for Son's good. If it weren't for her, how could I be as tied up as she said...
"
"Yes, I understand. But the princess has a stubborn temperament. Sometimes the more you control me, the more counterproductive it will be..."
"But how can I do it now? She is still like this even though she is in charge. If she really lets her go, she will definitely get into trouble."
"..." Grandma thought for a while and felt that this was indeed the case.
As the princess looks like now, it's really not possible to care.
After all, he is no longer a two or three year old child.
And since I didn't develop a close relationship with the prince when I was young, it's really not feasible to try hard in this regard now.
Thinking like this, grandma no longer had the strength to persuade her.
Princess Yan sat back on the couch and cried alone for a long time.
In this way, by the time I set off early the next morning, the redness and swelling in my eyes had not gone away.
Fortunately, she is not alone.
Since the mother and daughter both look like this, there is a ready-made reason - it's not surprising that the mother and daughter had a few quarrels, and nothing serious happened.
The mother and daughter were sitting together in the carriage, and the atmosphere was inevitably a bit dull.
What is also depressing is the gloomy sky today.
In the middle of the day, when the men and horses had left the capital for eighty miles, a burst of muffled thunder came, and soon it started to rain.
King Yan, who was originally riding a horse, changed to a carriage. Since the rain was not too heavy, there was no shelter anywhere, and there was a posthouse ten miles ahead, so the group continued on their way in the rain.
In recent years, some official roads have not been maintained, and most of them have been destroyed by passing cars and horses. When rainwater soaked and horses' hooves stepped on them, they quickly turned into mud.
The wind gradually picked up, causing raindrops to fly around and hit people's faces. As their vision blurred, they had to slow down their pace.
The wind blew through the grass and trees, making a rustling sound.
Having received the explanation early, the guarded elite followers looked around without leaving any trace.
In the midst of the wind and rain, a hidden arrow suddenly flew out from behind the trees on one side and headed straight for a carriage in the middle!
"Attsu!"
The sharp arrows pierced the wall of the car, and all the arrows were buried, leaving a trembling sound.
"There is an assassin! Protect the prince!"
The sound of the sword being unsheathed was heard one after another.
Arrows were constantly being shot at the carriage - the opponent's purpose was clear, and what they wanted was to force the people in the carriage to show up and take their lives!
There were followers guarding the carriage, wielding their swords to cut off the oncoming arrows.
Swift figures soon appeared on both sides of the grass.
Those people were all dressed in black, with cloth covering their faces, holding long knives, bows and crossbows, and they were full of killing intent.
"Take the head of Xie's dog thief!"
One of the leaders yelled through gritted teeth.
For a moment, the sound of swords clashing and the sound of fighting were deafening.
"Who are these people...!"
In the carriage, facing this sudden assassination, Princess Yan turned pale with fright.
Princess Sangyun also had trembling hands and hugged one of her mother's arms tightly, not wanting to lose her temper anymore.
Grandma plucked up the courage to lift the curtain and look out. She saw a man in black with his arm cut off in the chaos. She was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she quickly retracted her hand with a trembling scream.
"There are so many assassins..." Nanny exclaimed in shock: "There are almost as many as us!"
What?!
Princess Yan's eyes widened in shock.
There are regulations on how many followers and soldiers the vassal king brings to the capital. Including the servants and maids they serve, there are more than 800 people in total.
Are there actually so many people on the other side?
Mammy obviously didn't dare to take a closer look just now. This must be an exaggeration, but it also shows that this group of assassins is definitely not just a few dozen people!
But now they are hundreds of miles away from Beijing, who can come to help them?!
When Princess Yan was frightened, she suddenly felt the car shudder, and screams of unknown enemy or friend rang in her ears.
Then there was a "clang" sound, and a sharp long knife was pierced into the car wall!
"ah!"
Looking at the cold tip of the knife, Princess Sangyun screamed and threw herself into Princess Yan's arms with her eyes closed.
"Protect the princess and princess!"
The sounds outside the car became more chaotic, but it was vaguely possible to tell that more of our own people were surrounding them, desperately trying to ensure their safety.
As a result, the number of soldiers guarding King Yan's chariot suddenly decreased significantly. Dozens of men in black took the opportunity to attack. One of them, who was excellent in lightness skills, took advantage of the struggle between the two parties to jump to the top of the chariot.
Pull out the broad-backed sword behind you and strike with the sword!
This man's sword skills were powerful and powerful, and he could cut the roof of the car in half from the middle!
Just as he was about to raise his knife to strike into the car again, his eyes suddenly changed.
There was no one in the car!
"Xie's dog thief is not among them!" The man stood on the roof of the car and reminded his companions angrily.
But just as his voice fell, a long arrow came through the wind and rain, and passed through his chest with a pop.
The man in black froze, and before he could see his attacker clearly, he fell heavily from the roof of the car into the muddy water.
King Yan, who was wearing a black cloak like many of his entourages, sat high on his horse and fired two arrows in succession. The arrows were all fired, and the two men in black fell to the ground one after another.
When he shot, he always picked the leader among them, intending to intimidate him. However, even so, the offensive of this group of people did not weaken at all.
At this point, King Yan really had the answer in his heart, and he made a decision immediately: "Choose half of the troops and escort the princess and the princess to the post house quickly!"
After He Feng hesitated for a moment, he still responded and immediately arranged for people to escort the princess away.
The car drove again, but this time it was no longer smooth. It was bumpy and turbulent. Princess Yan hugged her daughter tightly and shook her head in tears. She didn't want to leave, she wanted to stay with the prince!
But she has long been accustomed to obeying arrangements in everything, and she is even more afraid that staying will drag down the prince...
The carriages and horses rushed out of the crowd under the escort of a group of followers, but the fighting between the two sides became more and more fierce. People kept falling, and the color of the rain under their feet had already changed.
King Yan swung his sword and chopped off another person's head.
Ironically, he was only a hundred miles away from Beijing at this time, but the danger at the moment was even more dangerous than on the battlefield!
It was hard to tell whether the situation was strong or weak, but suddenly there was a loud sound of horse hooves approaching.
