He Yi woke up with a loud scream, his voice was terrible: "You vicious woman, I will have someone kill you."
Tang Wan grabbed his collar and slapped him twice.
Hiss, my hands are hurting.
"Who do you think you are? You entered and left the harem without permission. The wicked are the first to complain. Let me tell you, this princess is going to marry a foreign prince. Everything you did today will serve as evidence for your family's extermination."
He Yi's eyes were red as he stared at her fiercely. He spat out a broken tooth mixed with blood: "You are not just an unloved princess, even worse than a maid. You really think you are a princess."
When Tang Wan looked at his face, she felt furious, as if there were two hatreds in her heart, making her want to kill the man in front of her.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of something breaking outside the door, and a short, sharp scream: "The Third Princess and He Shizi are fighting!!!"
Tang Wan knew that she had gone to complain, so she took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and kicked her a few more times. Although the blows were not fatal, they would at least make He Yi lie down for a year or two.

"You rebellious girl, you are simply trampling on the face of the royal family." A middle-aged man, about fifty or sixty years old, flushed and pointed at her nose, as if he wanted to poke a hole in her face.
"May I ask, Father, is there any precedent for men being allowed in and out of the harem?"
The old emperor was momentarily speechless, a trace of embarrassment visible on his face. However, he had been on the throne for many years after all, so he quickly reacted: "Well, maybe they just took a wrong turn. Why did you beat and kick them?"
"I'm telling you, I won't protect you. If you tell anyone about this, you'll be laughed at by the whole world."
When Tang Wan heard this, she was so angry that she almost laughed: "Who should be ridiculed?" Shouldn't it be him, the emperor who was manipulated by the royal family?
She didn't say the second half of the sentence, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was making a veiled criticism.
The old emperor was so angry with her that he shouted, "Come here, drag the third princess away and punish her with a cane."
"Father, I advise you not to do that."
She looked at the old emperor's face and felt as if she was in another world. In her previous life, she looked at him like this and didn't dare to look him in the eye. Now, it seemed that he was just an ordinary old man.
The old emperor was intrigued by her and asked, "Tell me, why is this happening?"
"You didn't even ask me why I hit him, and you just convicted me?"
The old emperor had never expected that his third daughter, who had always been cowardly, would disobey him like this. However, it was indeed unfair of him to blame the whole thing on his unfavored daughter for no reason.
He cleared his throat: "Then tell me, why did you beat He Shizi?"
"He asked his daughter to elope with him, but she was going to marry. He tried to sow discord between the two countries and even intended to do something inappropriate to her. Is that a sufficient excuse?"
The old emperor was suddenly a little angry. The marriage was discussed a long time ago, and Tang Wan changed her mind at the last minute, and there was no substitute candidate to be found.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he was indeed a cowardly monarch. In order to save his own life and the lives of his people, he had no choice but to resort to this last resort.
He was wondering why this incompetent and dull third daughter suddenly changed her mind. It turned out that she was instigated. She probably felt wronged, so she started beating people and brought up this matter.
His face darkened: "Prince, is this true?"
He Yiyuan wanted to say no, but the words rolled back on his lips and blurted out, somehow becoming: "I just saw her beauty and got carried away by it. It's all her fault for seducing me, otherwise I wouldn't be like this."
After realizing what he had said, he covered his mouth in horror and looked at Tang Wan with bloodshot eyes.
Tang Wan curled her lips, and the two dimples at the corners of her lips were faintly visible.
Provocation! This is definitely a provocation!
"What the hell did you feed me, you bitch?"
Tang Wan glanced at him up and down. "Heir, please don't make random comments. This is clearly coming from your own mouth. What does it have to do with me?"
The old emperor had never expected that someone would actually be stupid enough to self-destruct.
He felt a little tired. It seemed that it was time to reconsider the marriage between the second princess and the He family.
He continued, "The Third Princess said that you were deliberately sabotaging relations between the two countries. Is that true?"
He Yi shook his head frantically, but said, "Of course it's true. I didn't expect this idiot to be deceived with just a few words. He is just as stupid as the emperor."
The old emperor's face suddenly turned red, and it was unclear whether he was embarrassed or angry.
"How dare you!" The old emperor slapped the imperial desk with his hand, and his palm felt slightly numb from the shock.
"To sow discord between the two countries and to criticize the monarch and the royal family is a serious crime. How many heads do you have in the He family that I want to chop off?!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I really don't know what's going on. I'm afraid this is all a misunderstanding."
After hearing his explanation, the old emperor became even angrier. "Misunderstanding? You think I'm a three-year-old child. You said it yourself, how could you possibly lie?"
"Don't talk about drugging me. I guess God is just displeased with you and is giving you a punishment."
He turned to face Tang Wan, his eyes filled with mixed emotions: "Wan Wan..."
"Father, please call me the Third Princess."
"... Third Princess, from what you said, you agree to the marriage?" When he said this, the joy on his face could not be concealed.
In fact, he has many daughters, and he can choose another one, but the mothers of other princesses in the palace are still alive, and he can't bear to let go of any of them. Who can be so cruel as to see such beauties crying?
However, he didn't have the courage to let a palace maid impersonate him. He thought that if the king of Canglang Country discovered him, his small country of Manwu would be crushed to pieces by the iron cavalry in a few seconds.
After much thought, the third princess, who had no mother's blessing and was not very favored by him, was the more suitable one.
Her mother was just an ordinary singer and had no maternal family, so he was not afraid of being impeached.
After all, people only pick on the weak.
However, who knew that this soft persimmon actually had a hard core inside, which was extremely stubborn and would rather die than obey.
Now, he was helpless. There was still a month before the marriage, and he could only see if she could change her mind in this month.
"Yes, but I also have a few requests."
"Any request you make, feel free to ask." He rolled his eyes a few times, an unnatural look on his face. "Except for not going for the marriage, as long as your request is not too unreasonable, I will agree to it."
