Chapter 413: Longing for Xiang Liu
Hanzhang Palace
The base of the teacup fell heavily, making a mournful sound and the tea splashed everywhere.
"Bai Hu and Chang Xi, these two old guys are going too far!"
Haitang and Ah Nian shared the same hatred and said, "That's right, it's too much."
Ah Nian's face was filled with anger. When he thought of the court officials' remarks, he felt extremely guilty.
"It's all my fault. If I had worked harder, my father wouldn't have suffered so much."
Haitang has followed Anian since she was a child, and she can't bear to see her blame herself.
"Don't think like that, Wang Ji. They are obviously looking for trouble on purpose!"
Anian, who had been studying military books for a long time, quickly thought of ways to help King Hao Ling.
The matter of Hao Ling being the crown prince is no secret, and almost anyone with access to certain information channels can find out about it.
"Mother, Auntie, I'm going to practice archery!"
"Well, go ahead."
Yiying and Yingliu both have spies spread all over the Wilderness, collecting information all the time and gathering it in their hands.
The two of them had just read the recent secrets of the Great Wilderness in the evening, and their eyes kept meeting during dinner.
"You speak first" "I speak first"
The two of them chuckled, and Yiying spoke first.
"Second sister-in-law, I think Hao Ling is gradually losing strength. Why don't we take the lead before Tushan's large number of people arrive?"
Yingliu nodded vigorously
"That's what I mean too"
In just one month, Fangfeng clan and Taohuayuan (Yingliu's power, namely Qingshui Town) bought several shops in the big city on the edge of Haoling. Their various commodities were known for their uniqueness and exquisiteness, and they quickly became famous. Everyone in the city regarded this as a fashion.
Xiyan Military Camp
Anian sneaked into the camp with the sacred artifact Fusang Yousi, intending to assassinate Xuan, but she recognized the wrong person and was captured by Yujiang, looking miserable.
Xuan looked at his sister, whom he had spoiled since childhood, with heartache and words of comfort. He seemed unaware of the fluctuations of spiritual power around his neck.
Anian's eyes were filled with tears. The culprit who broke into her country, killed her people, and occupied her territory was right in front of her, and he was even completely defenseless. As long as she used her spiritual power, this person would be killed, and her country would no longer be in danger and harmed by the war. But this enemy was also her brother who grew up with her and doted on her. He was also the person she longed for as a girl!
It hurts, it hurts too much!
Anger, resentment, self-blame, regret, and longing mixed together and turned into strands of silk, entangled in her internal organs, and penetrated into her bones, blood, and heart. The courage that Anian had accumulated over the years was exhausted when she stabbed Yujiang just now. Facing this gentle and soft-spoken brother in front of her, whom she regarded as her closest and most beloved person, she could no longer do it.
Ah Nian dropped his arms helplessly, held Xuan's hand, tears rolling down his cheeks, begging sadly
"Brother Xuan, I beg you, can you please stop attacking Hao Ling? Father has been having a hard time. His hair is all white now, and his health is getting worse. It's even difficult for him to walk. Please, brother, I beg you."
Ah Nian's face was filled with tears and pleading eyes. Xuan Xuan was stunned, not knowing how to answer. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke.
"Anian, I can't promise you this time."
Ah Nian let go of his hand and said
"What if it was Xiaoyao? If she was still your father's daughter, would you refuse her request even if she begged you?"
Why did they mention Xiaoyao? Why did they ask if it was Xiaoyao? Anian, who grew up in the palace, knew in her heart that Xiaoyao and she might be different to Xuanxuan. She didn't want to delve into the details. She didn't want to listen to what Xuanxuan said. Her mind was in a daze and she sat on the ground.
