Chapter 458 Debt collector
The queen shouted this hysterically, using almost all her strength.

Pei Su lowered his head and remained silent.

Seeing this, Madam Zhuang stepped forward to persuade her, her voice full of worry, "Madam, you are angry again. Alas, the imperial physician Chang said last time that you need to take care of your illness now and not get too excited."

Then he helped the queen to sit down, turned his head and looked at Pei Su who was kneeling upright, "Master Pei, the queen has been worried these days. She is really upset and depressed. Don't blame her for hitting you."

Pei Su bowed his head and said respectfully, "I dare not. I have failed to help your Majesty and solve the current predicament. This is my failure in my duty."

The queen held on to the chair and sighed deeply. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a shrill cry coming from outside the palace gate.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother..."

The Queen's head was about to explode.

"What an injustice, what an injustice." The queen gnashed her teeth in frustration.

After that incident, the emperor had clearly ordered her to stay in Anyang Palace, but she disobeyed the order and ran out.

The queen felt that her children were all debts, born to take her life. She was so angry that she felt dizzy and could not speak.

"Mother." Anyang ignored the palace servants around her who were trying to stop her and ran into the room desperately. She lifted up her skirt and knelt down beside Pei Su.

"Mother, I won't marry. Mother, I won't marry!" Anyang looked flustered and raised his voice with his neck stiff.

"Shut up right there." The queen stretched out her pointed armor and pointed at her trembling body, "You are just a debt collector!"

The queen gritted her teeth and yelled, "Why didn't you listen to your father's order to be confined in Anyang Palace? You've messed things up like this, why can't you just stay quiet and live a quiet life?"

"You think your life is too long! Do you really think your father will not punish you for disregarding the emperor's orders?"

"Mother." Princess Anyang lifted her skirt, knelt forward a few steps in agony, and prostrated herself on the ground, sobbing, "Mother, please save me. I don't know what's going on."

Anyang raised her head, her hairpins and rings were in disarray, and there were several finger marks on her face. I don’t know if it was because she ran out of the palace in a hurry, but her clothes were also in a mess.

She doesn't have the demeanor of a princess from a powerful country at all.

At this moment, her shoulders were half exposed, her clothes were hanging loosely on her chest, her face was as haggard as an eggplant hit by frost, and her whole body was wilted.

"That Zhang Zhiquan did it on purpose. He..." Anyang couldn't help but tremble all over when he thought of that embarrassing scene. "How could a man like him appear in my daughter's palace? This is clearly a conspiracy by someone. Anyway, my daughter will never marry him!"

"How dare you say that." The queen looked at her daughter coldly and couldn't help but yell at her, "What's that on your neck? You have such a big head, why can't you use your brain?"

"You are being plotted against in your own palace. What can I say about you?"

"Mother, Zhang Zhiquan was arranged by someone. Mother, you have to make the decision for me. I..."

"Shut up." The queen was so angry that she was shaking all over. "You, you even slept in the same bed with him and alarmed your father. Now you say you don't want to get married?"

"The Concubine Shu has already said that you and her nephew met at the Huguo Temple last March, and you also exchanged letters." "That letter is fake, mother. The Concubine Shu deliberately arranged all this. Zhang Zhiquan is just a puppet in her hands. All this is their plan to plot against their daughter..."

"Princess, please stop making a scene in front of the Queen. Go back first. The Queen has not closed her eyes since yesterday, because of your matter..."

"Shut up, you old bastard! You have no right to speak. I'm talking to my mother, why are you butting in?"

The Queen's eyes grew colder, "Madame Zhuang is right. What you should do now is to return to your Anyang Palace immediately, shut yourself up and reflect on your mistakes, and stop being so ignorant."

"Mother, I am your biological daughter. Concubine Shu and the others have stepped on my daughter like this, and you don't have any reaction at all?"

"My daughter said that I didn't know Zhang Zhiquan at all, and I had only met him a few times. I had no idea how he ended up in my bed, and I..."

Anyang broke down and cried, covering his face and howling heartbreakingly.

The queen looked at her foolish daughter with sarcasm, "Don't you understand yet? Do you think that Shufei alone can accomplish this?"

Anyang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He looked up with a dull expression and said in a trembling voice, "Mother, what do you mean?"

"Hmph. Your beloved husband was able to escape my net. What do you mean? Why did the man you wanted turn out to be that timid and useless Zhang Zhiquan? Have you never thought about this question from the beginning to the end?"

Anyang collapsed to the ground at an angle, and for a moment he sat there stupidly like a puppet that had been drained of all its strength.

"Mother has warned you a long time ago. You are a princess of a country, you are born proud and noble! There is no need to make yourself so humble and lowly! Look at what you look like now? Do you still deserve the title of princess?"

"You treat others wholeheartedly, but how do they treat you? Don't they just throw you away like a worn-out shoe?"

"No, this is impossible, impossible." Anyang could not bear the blow. He stared into the distance with blank eyes and shook his head repeatedly.

The queen looked at her daughter with disappointment, "Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying anything. Go back to your Anyang Palace and stay there until you get married."

"Mother..." Princess Anyang raised her head and looked at the queen with tears in her eyes, "I won't marry, mother, I don't want to marry."

"You have no say in this matter!" The Queen glared at him angrily, "Why do you take the initiative to do so many things?"

"But my father has not issued an order to arrange a marriage. What can I do?" Anyang's face was covered with tears and she sobbed softly.

"So what's going on now? You're happy, you're happy!" The Queen kept poking her lungs, "Do you know that your father had someone go out of the palace to announce the decree before you got into trouble?"

Anyang seemed to have finally found a drop of rain after a long drought. His eyes suddenly lit up with flames. "Really, mother? Mother, you didn't lie to me?"

"What are you thinking about? You are in this situation now, and you still want to marry into the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion?" The queen was simply unable to scold her stupid daughter.

She looked at her with cold eyes, as if she was not looking at her own daughter, but just evaluating a piece of merchandise on the shelf.

"Is your mind filled with mush? If she really wanted to marry you, why would she set up this trap to frame you?"

"When something happened in the palace, it became a hot topic outside. Now everyone knows that the Queen's daughter is going to marry the eldest nephew of Concubine Shu. This is a matter involving the Pei and Zhang families, how can it be a joke?"
