Seeing that no one was willing to go, Mu Run volunteered, saying, "This servant can go."
Her voice was like the song of a kingfisher, very clear, loud, and pleasant to the ear.
Prince Xiang immediately looked over and saw that Mu Run himself was also quite handsome, and his wicked thoughts immediately began to stir.
"Do you want to enter the palace?" Prince Xiang asked.
“Yes,” Mu Run replied, “We’ll go to the palace to inform the lord.”
"I will escort you to the palace," Prince Xiang said, rising from his armchair.
But because his waist and belly were too thick, he got stuck in the chair.
Everyone quickly covered their mouths, afraid to laugh out loud.
Prince Xiang's attendant, with a sullen face, stepped forward and pulled on a chair, only then did Prince Xiang stand up.
"Oh? Since Your Highness has already entered the palace, it would be redundant for me to go as well." Mu Run covered her mouth with her hand, not wanting Prince Xiang to see her unable to hold back her laughter.
However, in Prince Xiang's eyes, her actions were simply a sign of excessive shyness.
Prince Xiang licked his lips and said, "I'm going with you. Or we can both stay here and wait for your master to return. If you serve me well and make me happy, I might not pursue your master's crimes."
A sin? Mu Run's heart skipped a beat. "What sin has my master committed?"
Prince Xiang: "He killed my brother-in-law! Doesn't that count?!"
Everyone was shocked by these words.
Mu Run said, "Your Highness, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Do you have any real evidence?"
"You little brat, how dare you question me!" Prince Xiang looked at his attendant beside him. "Arrest him!"
Mu Run turned and ran. If someone had ill intentions and wanted to capture her, it would be foolish to obediently surrender.
She ran very fast, and she was heading towards the main gate.
People from Prince Xiang's mansion were chasing after her.
Fu Yunchen returned from court, still wearing his official robes. He had just dismounted when he heard hurried footsteps.
He turned his head and smiled, "So eager to see me?"
Mu Run pointed behind him, "What do you mean, 'see you'? Someone wants to arrest me."
"Hmm?" Fu Yunchen looked behind her.
Leading the group was Huo Tong, a lackey of Prince Xiang, and behind him were four other men, all of whom looked like thugs.
Fu Yunchen understood. "One of the people you arrested is Prince Xiang's brother-in-law. But he deserves to die too. He raped innocent women, forced them into prostitution, trafficked children, ran a gambling den, and committed countless evil deeds."
"That's right, I'm here to fight evil and protect the innocent."
"What's going on?" Qiao Dongzi arrived at the Grand Commandant's mansion a step too late, but he reacted quickly. As soon as he saw someone coming to cause trouble, he called out without saying a word.
Only after he had beaten everyone to the ground did he kick Huo Tong, the leader, to the ground, saying, "Huo the dog, you've gone too far in causing trouble for your grandpa."
Huo Tong used to harass respectable women on the street, and Qiao Dongzi beat him up badly, knocking out two of his teeth. Now, he even has a slight lisp when he speaks.
At any other time, Huo Tong might have already knelt on the ground begging for mercy. But today was different; with Prince Xiang behind him, his back was as straight as a rock.
“We are here on orders to arrest her. That little girl spoke rudely to the prince, and the prince wants to teach her a lesson. If you know what’s good for you, hand her over right now, otherwise when the prince arrives, even your master will be in deep trouble.”
"Is that so?" Fu Yunchen entered the gate and strolled leisurely towards Huo Tong, looking at him with a faint smile on his handsome face.
