The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 172
Pei Shi Liang realized that he would be the center of attention if he came along with the crown prince of the Shixian Empire which was from Xing Xi he heard if he was one, no, no, the truth was that he was the number one Crown Prince who was the target for the princesses not only from the Shao Empire but also from the invited neighboring empires.
That was why he refused the invitation to leave together when the Shixian Crown Prince invited him to leave together after they were done with their breakfast. Yet again Xian Zi Xuan had many ways and reasons for him to obey and not reject his invitation.
They have now arrived at the venue. There's a lot of people here. If he still refused to let go in front of many people, he would have to think of his good name a few times before doing so. After all, being noticed by the many burning eyes of a jealous and envious woman is very uncomfortable. He had to leave immediately and stay away from Xian Zi Xuan to the greatest extent from this point on.
"We have arrived at the venue of His Majesty's event. I don't think you're going to get lost and follow me to where the princesses are, are you?" Pei Shi Liang glanced over with a faint glance at the young man who since morning clung to him without being able to avoid him at all.
"What if you just sit with me? In my place there will always be a place for you."
"No, thank you. I'm going to leave now. Good bye." Pei Shi Liang did not want to spend any longer and directly rushed away.
Xian Zi Xuan did not angrily accept the rejection from Pei Shi Liang over and over again. Moreover, he also did not earnestly ask the girl to sit in her place or would destroy her reputation. He would never do anything that would ruin his girl. He would put her by his side in an honorable manner. Someday.
"Sister, why did you come along with eighth Princess Shao?" Xian Mu Xuan couldn't sit still any longer seeing her brother look so familiar with the annoying girl in her eyes.
"It's none of your business. Go back to your place. The show's about to start." The reckless face of Xian Zi Xuan shown in front of Pei Shi Liang had disappeared and changed with a domineering arrogant face.
"Sister, sister can like a girl other than her." Xian Mu Xuan would usually already be afraid if he got a warning from his older brother. Although her brother looked stoic on the surface, he was the type of person who was quite cruel and heartless if already angry.
"Do I have to ask for your opinion before I do anything?" Xian Zi Xuan glanced at the sinister Xian Mu Xuan. No one can order her even their own father. Moreover, only a younger brother like Xian Mu Xuan only shared the same father as him.
"The answer is no. Especially to choose who deserves to be by my side or not. Your only job is to give your best performance and find a strong husband who can help Shixian in dealing with this year's crisis. Just do your job well. Wasn't your brother the one who made the big mistake that caused Shixian to face disaster?"
Xian Mu Xuan bit his lower lip. Her life was perfect if she did not have a useless older brother like her brother who could only give her trouble. Then his mother who always put more importance on his favorite son and asked him to solve every problem caused by his brother.
"I understand brother. L'm... I won't disappoint you." Xian Zi Xuan only glanced at Xian Mu Xuan a glance before passing by his sister indifferently.

Pei Liu Wen and An Jia Yun were surprised when they entered the palace and were told that the condition of the palace was quite stable. Like there was no chaos.
"Are you sure your men are doing the right thing?" Pei Liu Wen whispered in An Jia Yun's ear. "Why is it so quiet here?"
"I've paid the best hit man. Where could it fail? Moreover, it only killed a baby who still could not do anything. My men have made sure of it too. How could it fail?" An Jia Yun replied impatiently.
"I was astonished too. Though I've asked people to spread the news of the little prince's disappearance. Supposed to hear such news was enough to make everyone panic."
"What should we do?"
"none. We're already in the palace. If we make a suspicious move, someone might suspect us."
"Then should I let Zhang Xi finally take the throne?"
"Gee! You're too noisy. Let's wait and see. It could be that this calmness is just camouflage."
"really. Let's go in right away." Pei Liu Wen thought about what his wife said and finally got back excited. He immediately walked towards the palace garden. An Jia Yun immediately followed and walked beside him.
In front of the gate of the palace garden is strictly guarded. Each person is examined one by one after they show an identification mark. Persons with identification marks not listed in the invited guest's records are not allowed to enter. One by one, people are examined without exception. Even the princes and invited guests of the neighboring Empire were getting the same treatment. Everyone and luggage are checked.
"Please forgive us King Nan. You're not allowed into the showroom." A senior guard said as the two guards standing in front of the gate blocked Pei Liu Wen's path.
"How dare! I am a prince in this Empire. How dare you stop me from coming in!" Pei Liu Wen was emotionless and shouted furiously.
"Please forgive us Your Majesty. We're just following orders." The senior guard said firmly without showing any doubt. He received direct orders from Pei Zhang xi. Judging from his status was clearly Pei Zhang Xi who was superior to Pei Liu Wen who was a prince who did not stand out compared to the other princes.
"Tell me who gave you the courage to keep me here?!"
The senior guard had not had time to answer when Mo Han came and mediated. He immediately took over.
