She clenched her fists tightly, almost biting her back teeth off in anger.

Lin Su sighed helplessly, "Your Highness, it seems that Deputy General Zhao doesn't want to share the burden with Song Zixin. Then I will be merciful. I can't really bear the infamy of being ruthless. If your military law requires fifty strokes of the cane, then I will reduce it by half and give her twenty-five!"

Just one sentence made Zhao Xiaoyu's heart sink to the bottom.

Because she had already felt the dissatisfaction of her uncles and the complaints from Song Zixin.

She said almost subconsciously: "Miss Lin, if you really care about Zixin, why don't you ask the prince to exempt her from all military sticks?"

Lin Su explained with a pale face, "Everyone knows that Song Zixin has violated the prince's taboo and must be punished by military law. There is no way to exempt him. After all, military orders are like mountains. Without rules, there is no order. No one can break them. A few beatings will serve as a warning to others!"

She changed the subject: "But Deputy General Zhao actually despised me for not trying hard enough to help Song Zixin plead for mercy. In that case, I take back what I just said and will follow Deputy General Zhao's wishes and give him another fifty military sticks!"

Song Zixin really hated Zhao Xiaoyu. It was obvious that she had offended Lin Su because of her.

Now she is fighting with Lin Su for her own selfish interests and using her life as a raft.

How wronged she is!

She immediately spoke: "Thank you, Miss Lin, for your help and intercession. I will always remember your kindness. I will never be rude to you again, and I will never be provoked by anyone. Please forgive me!"

Zhao Xiaoyu was struck by lightning, and Song Zixin completely hated her.

Prince Li spoke at the right moment: "Since you remember Miss Lin's kindness, I will grant her request and give you twenty-five blows of the military stick. If you do it again, I will not show mercy!"

When Song Zixin was dragged away, he didn't even glance at Zhao Xiaoyu.

The veterans also recovered from their shock and realized that Prince Li was determined to marry Lin Su. If they continued to interfere, they would not end well.

They exchanged glances, with Qian Zhong taking the lead in kneeling and saluting: "General Qian Zhong pays his respects to Princess Li!"

"This humble general pays homage to Princess Li!"

The sounds that came one after another made Zhao Xiaoyu's eyes red, and his fingernails dug deep into his palms, but he was unaware even though his palms were covered in blood.

Prince Li's sharp gaze fell on her, and she had no choice but to speak as well: "General Zhao Xiaoyu pays homage to Princess Li!"

She squeezed out each word from between her teeth, and a fishy and sweet taste surged out of her throat.

She forced it down, as if swallowing all the hatred and disgust.

She secretly swore in her heart, Lin Su, you shouldn't touch Prince Li. Since you insist on becoming Prince Li's princess, then prepare to be humiliated!

Lin Su said calmly, "Don't call me Princess Li for now. It won't be too late when I actually marry Prince Li!"

Li Wang's eyes lit up, this was a chance for him.

Why don't you seize the opportunity?

He quickly shouted, "Come here, send a message to the Emperor in the palace. There's no need for the Imperial Astronomical Office to choose a date. I've already personally decided on the eighth day after tomorrow. I'll marry Lin Su!"

When Emperor Sheng An in the palace heard the news, he immediately spat out the saliva he had just poured into his mouth.

He was so shocked that he completely lost the composure of a king. He asked in disbelief, "The wedding is the day after tomorrow? The emperor's uncle is too impatient. Not only has the palace been repaired, but he hasn't even had time to make the wedding dress!"

The young eunuch who came to report the news said with a pale face: "Your Majesty, the prince said that he has never asked you for anything in his life. He finally got married with great difficulty. I hope you can give your full support!"

Emperor Sheng An had to support it, but he was really troubled by preparing a wedding ceremony within two days.

Of course, we can't let him get into trouble.

Doesn’t he have the future son-in-law of the emperor’s uncle Zhan Yan?

Let him come!

Without further hesitation, he quickly ordered Li Delu: "Go and ask for battle with Yi Hou!"

Zhan Yan had received the holy calling, so naturally he did not dare to neglect it.

He hurried to the emperor's presence, and before he could even salute, he heard him speak slowly, "Zhan Yan, I have an extremely urgent and difficult task for you to do!"

Zhan Yan was stunned. Although there was a battle on the border, judging from the military report sent by Fang Qingshan, the battle seemed to be going on with ease.

Why is it so urgent that he has to do it himself?

He asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, I wonder what you want me to do?"

Emperor Sheng An spoke obscurely, thinking that he would rather die than his fellow Taoists, "It's not that my uncle is getting married in two days. It's such an important matter, so naturally you have to share the responsibility for me. After all, he is also your father-in-law!"

Zhan Yan couldn't help but frown. My goodness, the emperor is really good at getting rid of things, and he won't let him refuse.

Although Prince Li had clearly ordered that the wedding be kept simple due to the border war, he really couldn't just be careless and perfunctory.

After all, this is my mother-in-law’s real wedding!

He took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I can take on this matter, but what kind of specifications should be followed for the ceremony?"

Emperor Sheng An lowered his eyes and pondered, "My uncle's wedding is a royal affair. Even if he says he wants it to be simple, it can't be truly simple. The necessary betrothal gifts and the exchange of horoscopes must all take place. So, I will immediately order everyone to work all night to prepare for the wedding and leave the palace, and you will go and finalize the betrothal gifts!"

Zhan Yan nodded: "Okay, I will go right away!"

He hurried back to the Marquis' Mansion and saw that Prince Li had already placed a small black box on the table.

He asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, what is this?"

Prince Li gave him a deep look and said, "This is the betrothal gift I prepared for Xiao Mu a long time ago. It was decided when we discussed the marriage. Those things have been sealed in Prince Li's mansion. No one dares to touch them!"

Zhan Yan couldn't help but be moved. He had to say that no one could match Prince Li's infatuation with Lin Su.

He couldn't help but think that if Lin Su had not been found this time, he would probably be preparing a funeral for King Li now.

Now that the betrothal gifts have been finalized, all that remains is to prepare the wedding attire.

Lin Yiwan volunteered to accompany Lin Su to the ready-made clothing shop to make the purchase. She had already heard that there was a very skilled embroiderer in the city whose wedding dresses were worth a fortune.

The two of them took a carriage to Jinxiu Pavilion and asked to see the embroiderer directly.

The embroiderer said with a guilty look on her face, "I'm sorry, I haven't embroidered wedding dresses myself for a long time. If you want to buy one, you can take a look at the skills of other embroiderers!"

Lin Yiwan asked in surprise, "Why? I heard your craftsmanship is excellent, and the wedding dresses you embroider are very popular. Why did you suddenly stop embroidering?"

A bitter look appeared on the embroiderer's face. She sighed helplessly, "Who would think money is a burden these days? To be honest, I still have an unfinished wedding dress. I gave it a very nice name, 'Bright Moon in the Sky'. However, because of a hand disease, I can no longer pick up the needle and thread!"

Lin Yiwan was moved just by hearing the name. The bright moon in the sky, so romantic.

She subconsciously said, "Could you please let me see your unfinished wedding dress?"
