"No, Third Prince, I saw nothing and knew nothing. Please spare my life." Liang Shigang knelt on the ground trembling.
However, Mulansheng looked at him with a gaze that looked down on all living beings. His big hand covered Yun Miao's mask, blocking his eyes. He drew his sword and in an instant only the corpse was left on the ground.
Yun Miao could naturally guess what Mulansheng was doing. Since he was hiding his leg injury, how could he be willing to be discovered?
"Killing the prince in Baihua Villa is such a serious crime that even if you are the third prince, you will not escape punishment." Yun Miao said calmly.
Mulansheng raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "You are not worried that I will kill you too."
"I'm afraid that the Third Prince has guessed my identity." He didn't hesitate to expose himself and take such a big risk to save her. If he hadn't recognized her, he wouldn't have done that.
Unexpectedly, this man still had a conscience. Yun Miao temporarily put aside her previous grudges and was willing to speak to him in a kind tone.
Mulansheng wanted to ask Yun Miao why she avoided him and why she was so indifferent to him.
But this was not the time to speak, so he fired a flare from his arms: "Someone will come to clean up these bodies later. We can't stay here for long. We'll talk later."
Having said that, he picked her up and left without caring about Yun Miao's reaction.
Yun Miao did not resist. She took off the meaningless mask and let Mulansheng take her to a deserted side room.
This man is quite familiar with Baihua Villa.
As if knowing Yun Miao's thoughts, Mulansheng took the initiative to explain: "The manager of Baihua Villa is my man."
Yun Miao casually threw the mask onto the table and said lazily, "The banquet is about to begin. Are you sure you don't want to go back, Your Highness? I need to change my clothes. Please leave quickly, Your Highness!"
Seeing Yun Miao's attitude, Mulansheng looked at her with a deep gaze: "You keep calling me Your Highness. When did you become so distant to me?"
"Your Highness has always been Your Highness. It's not about being distant, but about knowing when to stop." Although Yun Miao's anger had subsided a little, she was still not ready to reconcile with Mu Lansheng.
One was that there was an enemy between them, and she didn't want to gamble on who he would choose between her and her, her closest confidants.
Secondly, she didn't want to be involved with the royal family. In this life, she just wanted to be free and uninhibited. Looking at Mulansheng's eyes, she didn't dare to think deeply about the deep meaning in them.
There is nothing wrong or owed to each other, so just be happy.
There is really no need to get any closer.
"How can you be so modest?" Mu Lansheng couldn't help but feel a little angry, but when he thought about how she must have suffered many grievances after her resurrection, he felt distressed and helpless: "It's my fault. I couldn't..."
"Don't blame your Third Prince. I was too weak to protect myself at that time. Such a situation will not happen again. Your Third Prince does not need to blame yourself." Yun Miao thought to herself, even if Mu Lansheng was willing to kill his own relatives for her sake, so what? She wanted to avenge her hatred with her own hands instead of asking others to do it for her.
Seeing Yun Miao's stubborn defiance, Mulansheng could only sigh, "As long as you're still alive, it's fine. No matter what you've been through, you have to believe that I'll always be someone you can trust."
"I understand. Thank you, Your Highness the Third Prince, for your kindness." Yun Miao said calmly.
Mulansheng: “…”
Looking at the cold and distant woman, Mulansheng knew that he could not force her. When she was willing to tell him everything, she would definitely tell him.
If she didn't say it, it must mean that she had doubts about some aspects of herself.
Time will tell, he is in no hurry.
"I sent someone to bring you new clothes. Tonight's banquet is not that simple. Concubine Yu originally wanted to choose one from the Luo, Yang, and Liu families for Mu Linyuan to marry. Now that your accident happened in the middle of the process, I'm afraid she will hold a grudge against you. Don't worry, I will handle these and will not let her people hurt you." Mu Lansheng's tone was extremely gentle, for fear of upsetting Yun Miao.
Then he tentatively said, "The banquet begins with a marriage alliance. Mu Linyuan is not such a simple person."
Yun Miao looked at him and said bluntly, "Don't worry, I won't choose anyone. But if the Third Prince wants to continue making enemies for me, then he can do whatever he did just now."
Mulansheng was choked with words, but at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.
She won't choose anyone.
But I don't want to be chosen either.
"I was careless just now, but Yun Miao, I hope you can trust me." Mu Linyuan said this meaningfully and strode away.
Since he had to make a choice, he would naturally do his best to protect Yun Miao. However, when he thought about what happened before and Yun Miao's current attitude, she was like a hedgehog now, and he could only retreat and not advance.
But I will definitely find out why you are so evasive.
But tonight, knowing that Yun Miao is still alive is already a pleasant surprise, and I dare not have any more extravagant expectations.
So he respected all her choices.
Yun Miao looked at Mu Lansheng's departing figure, and her heart was still slightly touched.
After all, it was a bit beyond her expectation that the chosen one would bow to her like this.
On this side, Mulansheng also finished his "walk". He came back in his wheelchair, slowly turning the wheels as he had left, and said calmly, "Qin Xuan."
"Master, you're back! I have already written down all of Miss Yun's preferences, you can rest assured." Qin Xuan was asking for credit, waiting for Mu Lansheng's praise.
Who knew that Mulansheng just looked up at him calmly and said, "Push me back to the banquet."
"Ah? Okay... okay!" Qin Xuan didn't dare to ask more. The Third Prince came here specifically for the Flower Goddess, so why does he seem not interested now?
It's really awkward.
"The Flower God is back!"
After a cup of tea, Yun Miao returned to the banquet.
Someone shouted, and everyone turned around to look at the woman walking slowly outside the pavilion.
Although most people have seen Yun Miao's appearance, there are still a few people who did not pay attention at first and now want to see her clearly.
The clothes Mulansheng chose were very plain, and it was not known whether it was intentional or unintentional, but it was exactly what Yun Miao liked.
Although many young men felt somewhat disappointed, they also felt that it was reasonable.
After all, how could anyone be so omnipotent and stunningly beautiful?
Qin Xuan had just memorized the twenty things about Miss Yun's preferences, and was thinking to himself, why did the Third Master like this flower goddess so much? What does she really look like?
He looked up and was immediately disappointed when he saw Yun Miao's face.
It's just ordinary. As expected, no one is perfect. How could such a talented woman also be stunningly beautiful?
No wonder the prince lost interest.
Although Mu Yeting thought Yun Miao was incredibly talented, he immediately backed off after seeing her sallow, scarred face. "Forget it, let's give this Flower Goddess title to my second brother! I think the fourth young lady from the Luo family is quite the prince's type. I feel sorry for her."
Mu Linyuan glanced at him indifferently, which was also expected.
However, Mu Yeting was able to let go, which was one less trouble.
