Chapter Sixteen

  "Save you? Is Miss Murong letting me acknowledge that I have insulted you?"

  Murong Yin's head lifted dazedly, the blush on her cheeks not yet hidden, and due to the intense movement, the two snow-white mounds on her chest trembled slightly. "Crown Prince..." What did Crown Prince mean by this?

  "Originally, it was Mu Rong Yi who should have been serving me, wasn't it?" He Lan Ting bowed his head and narrowed the distance between them.

  An invisible pressure came with Helan Ting's sudden approach, and Murong Yin's face turned white again. For a moment, even the smartest person couldn't clear up what was going on, let alone guess what this stunningly handsome man in front of her was thinking. "It should be Murong Yi. However, Murong Yi considers herself a withered flower and doesn't deserve to serve the king." Why did Helan Ting ask about Murong Yi at this moment?

  Murong Yi... Could it be that He Lan Ting really has his eyes on Murong Yi? Is this possible? She'd rather all of this was just her imagination.

  "Hmph, she said she's not worthy of me? Then, do you think you're worthy of me?" He Lan Ting's phoenix eyes rolled with dark clouds churning slowly.

  It was indeed a charming and beautiful smile, but at this moment, in Mu Rong Yin's eyes, it seemed as if there was an invisible, icy, and sharp sword piercing her chest. Was it an illusion? Or had she believed Mu Rong Yi's words and taken off her silk clothes, only to feel the chill? Or perhaps, this coldness that was like a snowy winter day wasn't directed at her, but at Mu Rong Yi instead? She forced herself to calm down, swallowing her saliva to alleviate her panic, and attempted to speak: "I, a humble woman, have admired the Crown Prince for a long time. Now, seeing the Crown Prince again, I feel like my heart is no longer mine own. I find it difficult to forget the Crown Prince. After today's events, both my body and mind belong to the Crown Prince."

  These words should not have been spoken by her, and they are not suitable for a woman of this era to say. However, at this critical moment, her future fate is in the hands of He Lan Ting.

  "Miss Two has been insulted!"

  Although Lin'an courtyard had always been quiet, with a small stream flowing inside and many trees blocking out the outside noise, one sentence was louder than the last. Mu Rongyin's face turned pale as she listened.

  Helan Ting leaned his body against the back of the chair, his entire demeanor extremely relaxed. The loud and excited shouting that entered his ears sounded somewhat jarring. He hooked up the corner of his mouth, his eyes coldly fixed on Murong Yin, "Miss Murong, so tell me, who has insulted you?"

  "Miss... Miss..." Murong Yin was flustered, her pale and beautiful face unable to conceal her unease.

  Upon hearing the conversation between He Lan Ting and Mu Rong Yin, Lü Mo Ze's handsome face flashed a cold smile. Among the countless beauties of the Purple Swallow Country, Mu Rong Yin was merely average-looking, yet she dared to offer herself to him!

  Outside Lin'an Court, a crowd rushed in.

  It's coming very soon!

  Unexpectedly fast!

  Murong Yi ate the last melon seed, licked her mouth, and thought that a late night was perfect for taking a stroll while eating melon seeds and watching plays. She retreated slightly, waiting for the crowd to rush into Lin'an Temple.

  As expected, the matter concerning Murong Yin caused both Jiang Yue and Murong Chen to rush over anxiously. However, their faces did not show much worry, as they were probably still thinking that the person who was humiliated would absolutely not be Murong Yin, but most likely Murong Yi.

  However, serving the king is hardly an insult.

  "Stop." Murong Chen suddenly spoke out and commanded. He walked a few steps forward to the crowd. "It's just someone spreading rumors, don't make any more noise, go back." At this moment, it was already midnight, absolutely cannot disturb the king because of a small matter, otherwise the consequences would not be what he could bear. But who was the person who spread the rumor? What did they want to do? No matter what thoughts that person had, tonight must prioritize calming things down.

  The people below looked at each other in dismay, and the loud shouts just now were absolutely not their illusion, but accurately came from Lin'an Courtyard. How could Master not investigate? This concerns Second Miss's reputation!

  Jiang Yue carefully observed the crowd to see if there was any sign of Murong Yin, tonight at Lin'an Temple she knew better than anyone else who would be coming, but such a big commotion had been stirred up, and someone deliberately wanted to tarnish Murong Yin's reputation, so she must respond carefully. If it were about Murong Yi, then she wouldn't mind making a big deal out of it, letting everyone know that Murong Yi was a lustful and promiscuous woman!

  "Yes." The people below were stunned for a moment before immediately listening to the order to leave.

  Murong Yi, who was in the dark, shook her head and secretly said: They are determined that the person inside is her, so they never thought of going to take a look, nor did they think that she might have encountered danger at this moment. Tsk, tsk, what good fathers and mothers!

  Her eyes narrowed slightly, concealing the chill in her gaze, and the next moment she was already running towards Murong Chen and Jiang Yue.

  As she ran, she shouted: "Why are Father and Mother still waiting here? Second Sister is probably no longer chaste now. If so, wouldn't it be letting people all over the world slander Second Sister as a fallen flower and a withered willow, dissolute and unbridled?"

  Murong Chen saw Murong Yi running over in a panic, extremely shocked, her eyes wide with surprise, "How is it you?!" Shouldn't she be attending to the king right now?!

  Jiang Yue was shocked and lost color, "How could it be you?!" Was the person in Lin'an Garden at this moment really Murong Yin?

  "It's been a long time since I returned to the Prime Minister's mansion, and I actually got lost. I heard that someone said Second Sister was insulted. I immediately came to take a look. Shouldn't Second Sister be resting in her room at this moment? How could she appear in Lin'an Temple? And being insulted? Is it that Second Sister is willing? Father, mother, absolutely cannot let Second Sister be insulted for no reason, must seek justice for Second Sister." Murong Yi secretly took note of the expressions of Murong Chen and Jiang Yue, not looking at their ugly faces, continuing to pour salt on their wounds.
