When Shangguan Xingyan returned to the sleeping palace panting, she was surprised to discover that Yan Si had already packed all his luggage properly and was sitting quietly by the table waiting for her return.

Although he was anxious to set off and leave, thinking that he had not yet bid farewell to Shangguan Xingyan, Yan Si still suppressed his impatience and waited patiently. The moment Shangguan Xingyan stepped through the sleeping palace gate, she couldn't wait to ask: "Yan Xiong, you've already packed everything properly this quickly?"

Yan Si smiled and said: "Originally there wasn't much stuff, it was very easy to pack properly. Since you've returned now, could you trouble yourself to convey a message to Yu'er for me? I'm about to leave from here."

Shangguan Xingyan hurriedly replied: "Mother Consort has just gone to Younger Sister's side. Even if you're in a hurry to leave, you might as well wait a bit, and we'll go see you off together."

Yan Si pondered briefly, feeling that although he was frantic with worry, it indeed wasn't urgent for this moment, so he nodded and agreed: "Very well, then please send a palace maid to inform Yu'er, telling her everything is packed and ready, just waiting for her to come before we can set off." The palace maid received the order and immediately left in quick steps.

And when this palace maid hurriedly arrived, the Empress had just finished recounting what had happened to Shangguan Xingyu. Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xingyu couldn't help but cry out in alarm: "Become a son-in-law living with the wife's family?! Even ordinary commoner families are unwilling to take in a son-in-law, let alone when his father is a dignified Prince! How could he possibly agree to this?"

The Empress lightly patted Shangguan Xingyu's hand and comforted: "Yan Si has already indicated he will find a way to persuade his Father King to agree to this matter, and right now he has already prepared to set off and return to Dachang. You go quickly to see him off." Just at this moment, a palace maid stepped into the hall,

only to see a palace maid moving with lotus steps slowly entering the hall. When she walked up close, she slightly bowed and performed a salute, saying softly: "Paying respects to Empress Niangniang, paying respects to Eighth Princess." Shangguan Xingyu's eyes were like torches; with just one glance she recognized this palace maid as someone from Shangguan Xingyan's palace. Her heart stirred, and she hurriedly asked: "Did Elder Brother send you to convey something to me?"

That palace maid, hearing this, hurriedly replied respectfully: "Replying to Eighth Princess, Sixth Prince said Young Master Yan's things are all packed properly, and right now he is waiting in Sixth Prince's sleeping palace for Eighth Princess to go see him off."

Shangguan Xingyu nodded after hearing this, then turned her gaze to the Empress sitting on the phoenix chair beside her, and said softly: "This Palace knows." Immediately after, she looked at the Empress with a difficult expression and continued: "Then Mother Consort, this subject will go over first."

However, the Empress lightly waved her hand, pondered for a moment, and said: "Wait, how about this: you don't rush over yet. Let this palace maid go back and convey a message, telling them to wait a moment. While you go plead with the Emperor, see if you can make him change his mind and retract the decree."

Shangguan Xingyu, hearing this, instantly felt this method was excellent, and agreed repeatedly: "Right right right, Mother Consort thinks most thoroughly, this subject will now go to the Imperial Study to have an audience with Father Emperor!"

Finished speaking, she turned and rushed hurriedly toward the Imperial Study. Before long, Shangguan Xingyu arrived at the Imperial Study gate.

She stopped her steps, slightly tidied her somewhat disheveled skirt hem and hair ornaments, then said to the guards standing outside the gate: "This Princess has a matter to present to Father Emperor, please trouble yourselves to announce me."

Those guards didn't dare have the slightest negligence; one of them immediately bowed in assent, then quickly entered the Imperial Study to report to the Emperor: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Eighth Princess requests an audience outside, saying there is an urgent matter."

Shangguan Peilin said without the slightest hesitation: "Just say We are not here!" That guard, hearing this, hurriedly cupped his hands in salute, then quickly exited the Imperial Study. At this moment, Shangguan Xingyu standing to the side had a face full of anxiety, and hurriedly asked: "What exactly did Father Emperor say?"

The guard didn't even have time to think before blurting out: "The Emperor said he is not here." Hearing this answer, Shangguan Xingyu instantly revealed a helpless and speechless expression.

However, Eunuch Xi hiding outside the door secretly listening had exactly the same reaction. Shangguan Xingyu seeing this, immediately raised her voice and shouted: "Father Emperor, this subject knows you're inside! Could it be you're now unwilling to even see your child?" But no response came from inside the room.

After a moment, the Emperor still remained silent, secretly pondering in his heart: How did this girl ultimately know We are in the Imperial Study right now? Eunuch Xi to the side seeing this, hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's all that guard's loose tongue! He actually directly told the Princess that the Emperor said he himself was not here……"

Shangguan Peilin, hearing this, instantly darkened his face and angrily questioned: "How did this guard get mixed into the palace? Does recruiting people not examine IQ anymore?" Just like that, the Emperor and Eunuch Xi lowered their voices and whispered privately, completely ignoring Shangguan Xingyu's shouts outside the door.

Only to hear Shangguan Xingyu shout loudly again: "Father Emperor, if you still refuse to receive this subject, this subject will have to return to Dachang together with Yan Si. This subject takes her leave first!"

This time, Shangguan Xingyu deliberately shouted extremely loudly, so that Shangguan Peilin inside the room could hear clearly and distinctly. This infuriated Shangguan Peilin enough, and he couldn't help but curse loudly: "Rebellious daughter! Get in here for Us!"

Shangguan Xingyu, hearing this, immediately walked in with quick steps. At this moment Shangguan Xingyu's face carried obvious anger; just stepping through the door, she rudely questioned: "Father Emperor, is it really true you want Yan Si to become a son-in-law living with the wife's family in Dongying and become a consort?"

Shangguan Peilin was originally furious enough to smoke from the seven orifices, but hearing his daughter question so bluntly, his heart couldn't help but panic.

He forced himself to calm down and replied: "That's right, it is what We said. We merely worry you'll marry far away to a foreign land, suffer grievances with no one to look after you. Furthermore, We see this child Yan Si is indeed not bad, and have the intention to bring you two together."

Shangguan Xingyu coldly laughed, then immediately pursued: "Leaving aside whether An Wang would agree to this matter, just say if An Wang agreed, then how should the numerous industries Yan Si owns in Dachang be handled?"

The Emperor, hearing this, unconsciously lowered his voice a few degrees, and stammered: "This matter…… can be sold off."

Shangguan Xingyu glared at him fiercely, and said displeasedly: "Yo he! You've really considered everything for him thoroughly! Looks like your wishful thinking abacus is played really well, truly deep planning and far-sighted!"

Shangguan Peilin was made red-faced and red-eared by his daughter's words; he naturally understood the mocking intent in his daughter's words, and at this moment dared not speak another half-sentence. Shangguan Xingyu pursued: "Regarding the matter between us two, how exactly do you plan it? I don't feel you would take the son-in-law matter seriously"
