Prince Jin stormed off, displeased that Prince Yu had interrupted his good deed.
He was dismissed before he even asked his name.
"If Lin Muheng can be there, why can't I?"
Lin Mushen belatedly realized what was happening.
No one can drive him away if he doesn't leave.
But now that we're out, it wouldn't be good to run back now.
"Go, find out which family that lady belongs to?" Lin Mushen couldn't resist the urge to investigate, thinking of the lady's frightened deer-like eyes.
She's afraid of him!
"Do I look like a fierce person?" Lin Mushen touched his face and asked the servant beside him.
With a fawning smile, Eunuch Wang said, "Your Highness! You are such a handsome and dashing man. It would be her good fortune if you even glanced at her. How could she be fierce? There's no such thing!"
Wang Gonggong's words pleased Prince Jin.
Indeed, some of the women he abducted were also very afraid of him.
It will be fine in a few days.
Although Lin Mushen was a scoundrel, he was never stingy with women.
In addition, he inherited the beauty of the imperial concubine.
Although her face wasn't as alluring as Lin Muheng's, it was still universally loved and admired.
Damn, why am I thinking about Lin Muheng again?
Lin Mushen was speechless.
Running into him always means trouble.
"That woman looks familiar, but I wonder which family she belongs to?"
Eunuch Wang: "This servant has already sent someone to investigate."
Lin Mushen's heart fluttered as he thought of the young woman from earlier.
I wonder what kind of blissful, soul-stirring feeling it would be to sleep beneath someone like that.

Jiang Chuwei secretly regretted that she had been so terrified when she saw Prince Jin.
He has not yet become that tyrannical ruler.
She was still haunted by the memory of the more than three hundred members of her Jiang family being slaughtered in her previous life, and she hadn't fully recovered yet.
In Jiang Chuwei's mind, the deaths of the general's family were inextricably linked to her.
If she hadn't been so single-mindedly and foolishly devoted to managing the Marquis's household, especially worrying herself sick over the old lady's illness.
With the finest bird's nest and thousand-year-old ginseng, Madam Lu's headaches were eventually cured under her care.
The people she should be most filial to, her father and mother, have not been able to cook even a bowl of rice porridge for her since she got married.
Her parents witnessed her complete devotion to the Marquis's household.
For their daughter's sake, they were completely unguarded against the Lu family.
After all, in her daughter's eyes, she was living a happy and fulfilling life, and her son-in-law doted on her in every way.
Because of her blindness, her father and brothers mistakenly believed that Lu Yanke was a good person.
The Jiang family also treated him like a son, and Lu Yanke rose through the ranks under his father's guidance.
This gave him the opportunity to seduce Prince Jin and successfully place the fabricated evidence of treason into his father's study.
"Are you very afraid of Prince Jin?" Lin Muheng asked.
"Does the Prince of Jin have a good chance of winning?" Jiang Chuwei changed the subject.
Lin Muheng knew she didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't dwell on the topic.
"He is the son of the Imperial Concubine, so naturally he has a better chance of winning than his other brothers."
Lin Muheng was a little jealous.
Why ask King Jin so many questions?
Jiang Chuwei knew what he was thinking, and she immediately said, "I don't want him to sit in that position."
Lin Muheng was surprised.
"You know him?"
"I don't know him."
"Why don't you want him..."
"I want you to go up there." Although it was outrageous, Jiang Chuwei still said it.
She didn't want Lin Muheng to die.
In her past life, Lin Muheng helped her kill Lu Yanke.
However, he himself did not have a good end. Prince Jin used the pretext of killing a powerful minister to mobilize the army to capture and kill him.
Do you think I have that ability?
“In my heart, no one in the Great Qing Dynasty is more qualified to sit in that position than you.”
Lin Muheng's lips curled up slightly.
He was pleased.
Being affirmed by the one you love fills you with immense joy.
"Since you want it, I'll grant your wish," Lin Muheng said.
Jiang Chuwei looked at him: "Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Lin Muheng was taken aback. Was he afraid?
It seems as if I've lived in the shadow of death since I was a child.
"I'm used to it," Lin Muheng said casually.
Jiang Chuwei felt a sudden pang of heartache for no apparent reason.
In his past life, he lost his life because of his own actions.
I'm the one who dragged him down.
Lin Muheng saw the heartache in her eyes and his heart softened for no reason.
He could sense that Jiang Chuwei's kindness towards him was more than that of a close relative.
Lin Muheng reached out and gently flicked her nose: "Being born into an imperial family and being able to grow up safely is already an immense blessing."
Seeing Jiang Chuwei's frightened look, like a deer, Lin Muheng couldn't hold back any longer.
He pulled her into his arms.
The two whispered sweet nothings to each other for a long time, until Jiang Chuwei was completely limp and weak.
"Shall we take it a step further?" Lin Muheng whispered in her ear.
"Hmm..." Jiang Chuwei's expression was unfocused.
Lin Muheng was surprised: "Hmm?"
The volume increased by several octaves.
Jiang Chuwei immediately jumped out of his arms, her eyes watery and her cheeks flushed.
"No...no...that's not what I meant?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Muheng's voice was hoarse, and to Jiang Chuwei it sounded like blatant seduction.
Jiang Chuwei turned her head away guiltily and simply ignored him.
Lin Muheng had teased her enough and stopped asking her questions.
Jiang Chuwei felt a little embarrassed.
Having lived two lives, is this considered unchaste in the eyes of people?
"Your Highness! Do you think I'm too..." She still couldn't bring herself to say the word "licentious".
Lin Muheng understood immediately; he knew what she was worried about.
