Chapter 1602 Disobedience
The sound of breaking air came suddenly, not giving Meng Tingyang any chance to speak. Before he could react, he saw a feather arrow stuck less than two steps in front of Murong Qing, which was a clear warning.

Mu Churui was still standing on the tower. Li Qianning beside him looked at him steadily. She wanted to ask him why he didn't give the Zhongzheng Palace a quick death instead of torturing them repeatedly. But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.

She knew that even though Mu Churui wanted Murong Qing to die, he couldn't kill him with one blow.

As two parties in a power game, they are competing to see who can keep their composure and not be caught in the wrong by the other party. Instead of fighting with real swords and guns to the death.

As if to verify what Li Qianning was thinking, Mu Churui raised his hand, and one of his men shouted loudly: "Prince Zhongzheng, since you have received the order, you should go to Dajing as soon as possible. Are you turning back now to disobey the order of the king?"

Murong Qing clenched his fists and took a step forward, only three inches away from the arrow stuck on the ground, "I just disobeyed..."

"Your Majesty!" Meng Tingyang stood in front of Murong Qing and stopped him from talking, "Be careful what you say."

"Meng Tingyang, do you know what you are doing?" Murong Qing reached out and pulled out Meng Tingyang's sword, pointing it directly at his chest, "My mother-in-law passed away, and you didn't follow me back to the palace, but you blocked my way?"

His chest was rising and falling, and every word he spoke was filled with incomparable resentment, "Prince Zhongzheng and your master and servant, I never thought that we would turn against each other today. If I had known this, I shouldn't have..."

Before he finished speaking, he coughed violently and couldn't even hold the sword in his hand.

Mu Churui on the tower sneered, and his men understood the situation and fired several arrows straight towards Murong Qing.

Meng Tingyang dragged Murong Qingkan to avoid him, and in the blink of an eye, there were a few blood marks on his arm. He gritted his teeth and turned around, and when he was about to block the arrow with his body, he saw a figure flash past, snatched the sword with his hand, and knocked down the arrow behind him.

"Madam..." Meng Tingyang looked at Fang Zilan in disbelief, and saw her holding the sword calmly and walking towards the capital.

The feather arrow stopped instantly, and Mu Churui's men shouted sternly: "What is Mrs. Shizi doing? Could it be..."

"The person who received the order from the king is Murong Qing, not me." Fang Zilan interrupted the man with a cold voice, "I can stay in the capital of Miluo if I want, and I can leave if I want. What does it have to do with the king?"

"Mrs. Crown Prince, even if you are the daughter of the Fang family in Dajing, you cannot be disrespectful to the king." The man raised his voice in a threatening tone, "If you take one step forward..."

"How about I take a step forward?" Fang Zilan took a step forward provocatively, "If the king has the courage, just order someone to shoot an arrow and shoot me on the spot."

"Mrs. Shizi, do you really think that I dare not kill you?" Mu Churui's voice sounded deep, "There is no one in Miluo that I dare not kill."

The whole courtyard was in uproar, and Fang Zilan said coldly: "Madam, what are you doing? Everyone saw clearly that I was the one who did it. Why do you embarrass Miss Fang?" "I..." Madam Pei was interrupted and was stunned for a moment. At this moment, Fang Zilan pushed Fang Zitong and asked her to change her clothes before coming back.

"You..." Mrs. Pei saw Fang Zitong leaving, and Fang Zilan stood in front of her and refused to give an inch, and said angrily: "Why are you stopping me?"

"Isn't this lady going to investigate whether your son is injured?" Fang Zilan deliberately pretended not to know Mrs. Pei and Pei Xuanchang, and said casually: "I said it was me who did it. If you don't hear clearly because of your bad ears, I I don’t mind demonstrating it again so you can see clearly.”

Mrs. Pei was so angry that she said, "Master Fang, do you still want to take action while I'm here? It's enough to say that you don't know Chang'er, but don't you even recognize me?"

"Madam, what you said is so ridiculous." Fang Zilan sneered and said: "There are so many officials and noble people in the capital, why do I have to recognize you?"

"I..." Mrs. Pei was choked by her words. She took a deep breath and said, "I just went to Mr. Fang's house during the first month of the year when all the houses held banquets. Mr. Fang forgot about me?"

"The first month? This happened a few months ago, how could I remember it?" Fang Zilan laughed out loud, "Madam, you haven't heard a sentence - How often do noble people forget things?"

Mrs. Pei looked at her in disbelief, and then said sternly: "Excellent, Mr. Fang is acting like this to take care of this matter to the end?"

"This madam is really interesting." Fang Zilan suppressed a smile and raised her voice: "Everyone here today can make your own comments. My action against this little boy is true, and this madam's concern and accountability are true, so I stand here. You have never escaped, so why am I in charge now? I dare to ask this lady, what is my business?”

"Master Fang, you don't know what you are meddling in?" Mrs. Pei said angrily: "Okay, then I will tell Master Fang that you are meddling in other people's own affairs. Mrs. Pei and the Fang family have already been engaged, and Miss Fang is Chang'er's future. Mother, what's wrong with Chang'er calling her mother? It's your turn as an outsider to tell her what to do?"

Before she could finish her words, she received a loud slap in the face. She was stunned and said in a daze: "Master Fang, how dare you hit me..."

The maid who was following her immediately took a step forward, only to see a flash of silver light. Zheng Yan appeared beside Fang Zilan at some point and revealed his weapon.

"I remembered, you are Pei Pening's wife." Fang Zilan blew on her red palms and her expression became cold, "Not even Duke Guo Guo would dare to be so presumptuous in front of me. Mrs. Pei, what do you mean? Do I dare to hit you?"

Mrs. Wang, who came to the side after hearing the news, originally wanted to offer some words of advice, but when she saw Zheng Yan standing with a sword in his hand, she immediately fell silent.

"I..." Half of Mrs. Pei's cheeks were swollen, and the corners of her mouth were broken. She was so aggrieved that she was about to cry.

Fang Zilan glanced at her and said slowly: "First, if your children are not well-disciplined, don't blame others for meddling in other people's business, lest something happens one day and you will regret it. Second, is there any issue about Pei's engagement with the Fang family? Proof? If there is no proof, Mrs. Pei, you are spreading rumors to destroy the Fang family's innocence. I can take you to Jingzhao Yin Mansion for questioning. Thirdly, Mrs. Pei performed well today, but others are not fools. "

As soon as she said this, everyone in the clouds and fog suddenly became enlightened. Rumors about the two Pei brothers and Miss Fang have long been spreading in the capital, but they have yet to hear about their engagement. Now that Mrs. Pei has made such a fuss, she probably wants to use Pei Xuanchang's mouth to force Miss Fang to marry.
