Chapter 1405 - Its Bad News

Wasn’t it perfect for this scumbag and hellcat to make a couple!

Certainly, he could not do anything to the Vassal King of An’nan’s family for no apparent reason. After all, the Vassal King of An’nan’s ancestor had fought alongside the former king to win state power.

If he targeted the descendants of officials who had rendered outstanding merit, not only would the common people drown their Mo family with their spit, even the royal censors would definitely send in memorials and remonstrate to the death!

However, the Vassal King of An’nan’s Estate had recently been making underhanded maneuvers nonstop. Yet the most hilarious thing was that they thought that he, the crown prince, was clueless!

It was fine. He’d just let them proceed with their movements and hatch up a bigger incident. By that time, Yi’an would have married into the estate, which was perfect. When everyone in the entire estate got beheaded, they would have company while traversing the Yellow?Springs1!

At that time, he could not be blamed for being ruthless. It was all their own doing!

Huifeng peeked at Crown Prince Mo’s expression and then quickly lowered his head. “Your Highness, there is one more thing.. The several dozen men who caused trouble on South Xiluo Street previously were most likely hired thugs.”

“Someone wanted to cause a large number of casualties, but they did not expect Your Highness to arrive so quickly with the royal guard.”

The crown prince narrowed his eyes. “Continue investigating and ferret out the mastermind.”

He had a premonition that this was a prelude to the shady organization striking again after it had failed to contaminate all the water sources.

This time, perhaps, they were coming for the Mo capital base.

After all, the Mo capital base was the most perfected fortification, with the greatest flow of human traffic. As long as they could wipe out the Mo Capital Fortification, then it was easy to disintegrate the fortifications elsewhere!

He acutely sniffed the scent of storm clouds approaching, and he closed the book in his hands.

On the other hand, when news of the betrothal edict travelled to Commandery Princess Yi’an’s Anya Pavilion, she simply did not dare believe her own ears.

“You, what did you say? Say it again!” Commandery Princess Yi’an unwittingly dropped her fine-toothed comb to the ground with a clatter.

At this time, she was sitting on a small square stool with her long hair loose. Her eyes were stretched wide open, and her complexion, which had turned pink after her bath, was now evidently as ghastly pale as paper.

Xu’er immediately wailed, “My lady, the king’s edict has already been sent to the Vassal King of An’nan’s Estate, and the Vassal Prince of An’nan has already received the edict. The wedding is set to be in one month, right after the queen dowager’s birthday feast concludes.”

Commandery Princess Yi’an felt her sight turning black, and she nearly toppled from her stool.

Luckily, Xu’er had immediately rushed up to support her when she discovered her abnormal condition. “My-my lady, you have to hang in there. You must not collapse!”

“What did the queen dowager say? Is the queen dowager also aware of the king’s betrothal edict?” Commandery Princess Yi’an screamed, “How could the king act on his own, deciding on my marriage without asking the queen dowager?”

“Please use discretion in your speech, Commandery Princess.” On the side, the senior maidservant Ming Qian who had an oblong face analyzed calmly, “The king has not brought disgrace to your title of commandery princess by betrothing you to the Vassal Prince of An’nan. Even if the queen dowager was to know, she would most likely not object.”

“No, I’m not getting married! I’m not getting married to Chou Fu! I won’t!!” Commandery Princess Yi’an stood up with her emotions out of control. This was the first time she revealed such frenzied wrath. “I am going to see the queen dowager! Xu’er, accompany me to see the queen dowager!”

“Yes!”

“Please think thrice my lady!” Miss High and Mighty quickly strode up and exhorted, “From the current circumstances, since the king has already issued his edict, it is impossible for the queen dowager to go and humiliate the king for the commandery princess.”

Commandery Princess Yi’an flumped limply onto the small square stool.
