Chapter 4319: 5.0071 Ambition

Wu Ruomei hastily adjusted the cap that didn't quite fit her head, repeatedly calling out, "No, no, I'll go out myself, I'll go out myself, really."

As she spoke, she backed away, accidentally bumping the back of her head against the door frame, and immediately frowned, looking almost like she wanted to cry.

Duan Yue ignored her. As he stepped out of the door, he found Wu Ruomei blocking the doorway a bit of an eyesore. "Someone, escort Miss Wu back to her residence."

"No, no," Wu Ruomei said with a bitter face, muttering softly, "Your Majesty, something happened at Luyu Pass; bandits are rampant. I..."

"Someone has already gone to deal with this matter."

Duan Yue glanced at her indifferently. "Your father was looking for you all over the city yesterday. Did you know?"

Wu Ruomei pouted and said, "Of course I know. He wants me to meet that dead scoundrel! I'm not going."

The little eunuch beside them silently lowered his gaze, asking the heavens in exasperation: So, Miss Wu, you snuck into the palace overnight just to hide from your father?

"Go notify Prime Minister Wu," Duan Yue said expressionlessly.

Little Kezi lowered his head and whispered, "Reporting to Your Majesty, your servant has already sent someone to the Prime Minister's residence to inform him."

Wu Ruomei glared angrily at Little Kezi, then fell to her knees in front of Duan Yue with a dramatic performance, crying out, "Your Majesty, in Shenzhou, there is the Peerless Princess, who formed the Tiger-Wolf Camp, leading female soldiers in red attire. She is invincible on the battlefield, winning every battle! Making a group of big men tremble with fear and wet themselves."

Duan Yue continued to watch her expressionlessly.

Little Kezi twitched his mouth.

Wu Ruomei then declared righteously, "Ruomei can do it too! For our Great Cangzhou, I can establish an invincible and unconquerable female army! Ruomei wants to go to Luyu Pass, Ruomei wants to fight the bandits! Ruomei wants to expel all those bastards who trample on our Great Cangzhou territory!"

Duan Yue glanced at her and said faintly, "The Peerless Princess of Shenzhou had a level seven Divine Realm cultivation half a year ago; it's unknown if she has broken through now. You? Talk about this after you break through to the Divine Realm in cultivation."

Wu Ruomei looked thunderstruck, her face immediately falling. "Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, Left Prime Minister Wu Yong requests an audience."

"Ah??" Wu Ruomei's face collapsed even more severely, her eyes revealing an intention to run away.

"Let him in."

With a rush of hurried footsteps, approaching from a distance.

Left Prime Minister Wu Yong hurried over, trotting all the way. "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Duan Yue looked at the panting old man before him, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. "Take her away."

"Yes, yes, thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Yong glared fiercely at Wu Ruomei. If it weren't for being in front of others, he would have rushed forward and kicked his daughter twice by now.

Such a troublesome child! Always causing trouble for her father.

Her unrealistic dream of being a female hero since childhood should have ended already!!

He truly didn't know what she was thinking. All day long, she just wanted to be a hero, wanted to go to the battlefield. This was simply bordering on obsession!

"Come home with Father!"

"I'm not going home, not going home." Wu Ruomei quickly rushed over, grabbed onto the large door beside them, and looked at her father with a wary expression. "I won't go meet that dead scoundrel!"

The veins on Wu Yong's forehead throbbed. He glared at this daughter who was acting wildly in the imperial palace, wishing he could kick her to death.

If His Majesty weren't so good-tempered, how could he have tolerated her until now?

"I, I'd rather stay by Your Majesty's side and continue being a Mid-Court Guard than go back and meet that dead scoundrel."

Prime Minister Wu was simply too amused to be angry.
