Farewell Flower Festival

A maid came towards the tea room stealthily, but was stopped before she got close.

"You have nothing to do here." Qianfeng said.

The maidservant stole a glance at the closed door of the tea room in front of her, and was blocked by Qianfeng's sword. She was so scared that she immediately retracted her neck.

"Why aren't you leaving yet!" Qian Feng shouted, and the maid ran away as if she was escaping.

After the door opened, Mu Tianling walked out and asked Qianfeng to stay nearby to guard, as the good show was about to begin.

……

The servant who had led Mu Tianling came over to Mu Tianyuan and whispered a few words. Mu Tianyuan looked delighted and went over to Mu Tianqi and said he would take him to see a good show. Mu Tianqi said the show on the stage was good and he decided not to go over.

Chaoyan saw Mu Tianyuan leading a group of people away stealthily, and thought that he was going to do something naughty again, so she followed him.

Han Lie, who was walking in front of the team, slowed down his pace and waited for Chao Yan to come over, then asked, "Where is the Fourth Prince? Is he having a tryst with some little maid?"

Chao Yan said: "It seems that the second young master is very familiar with this kind of thing. He must have harmed many little maids on weekdays."

Han Lie said: "I have never harmed a delicate girl like Little Lotus Seed. How about letting me harm her next time?"

Chao Yan rolled her eyes at him and quickened her pace to distance herself from him. Han Lie followed her and said, "What on earth do you like about the Fourth Prince, Little Lianzi? I don't think the Fourth Prince cares about you. If you follow him wholeheartedly like this, you will end up being just a concubine."

Chaoyan rolled her eyes at him again and was too lazy to say anything more to him. It would be useless to say anything anyway. If she said one word, this guy would have ten words waiting for her. So she just pretended to be dumb.

"Little Lianzi, come with me. I will marry you in a formal ceremony with a sedan chair carried by eight people."

"..."

"Xiao Lianzi, if you don't say anything, that means you agree. When are we going to get married?"

"disagree."

"Let's move out after we get married. Where do you want to live? A more lively place or a quiet place?"

Chao Yan put her hands over her ears to refuse the harassment.

……

When they arrived at the door of the tea room, the servant pointed inside. Mu Tianyuan had the door broken open and rushed into the room with a group of people. It looked like they were going to catch someone committing adultery.

After seeing clearly the person lying on the bed, Mu Tianyuan's smug expression suddenly froze, and he looked as if he had seen a ghost.

Others saw Zhao Huan and a girl lying on the bed with their clothes in disarray, and even a fool would know what had happened.

"Isn't this the young marquis?" "That girl seems to be from the Fourth Prince's residence?"...

The sound of people talking woke Zhao Huan up. He opened his eyes and saw that the room was full of people. When they saw Furong lying next to them, their faces turned colorful. In an instant, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple appeared.

Furong, who had been pretending to be asleep, also woke up. She fearfully pulled the quilt and hid in the corner. The next moment, a hand grabbed her throat fiercely. Zhao Huan stared at Furong with sinister eyes as if he wanted to tear her into pieces.

"Oh no! The young marquis is going to kill someone!" Chao Yan shouted, and Han Lie also joined in the fun and shouted, "Oh no! Someone is going to kill someone~"

Hearing the word "murder", Zhao Huan's sinister eyes regained some rationality. He pushed Furong away. Furong coughed violently several times, leaving a circle of red marks on her fair neck.

"What happened?" Mu Tianling walked in calmly, and Zhao Huan realized that he had fallen into a trap.

Before, Zhao Huan asked the servant to trick Mu Tianling out, saying that he had offended him many times before and wanted to make peace with him. He also threw out another bait, saying that he knew the inside story of his uncle's case and that it was not his father who betrayed the other party. Mu Tianling then followed the servant here alone.

After arriving at the teahouse, Zhao Huan pretended to toast and seek peace, but after seeing Mu Tianling drink the wine he poured, he fainted on the table. He went over to help him up and put him on the bed, but when he lowered his head, he felt his neck go numb, and the next moment he lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he was surrounded by people.

Zhao Huan got out of bed, picked up the clothes on the floor and put them on randomly. Mu Tianling raised his hand to block Chao Yan's sight and asked her to go out and wait. As soon as Chao Yan walked to the door, she saw Prime Minister Shang and the housekeeper coming, and there were people behind them. She raised her voice and shouted, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess seems to be here."

When Mu Tianyuan heard the words "Crown Princess", he felt as if he was under a spell. He walked back and forth in the room and could not find any place where someone could hide. In desperation, he wanted to escape through the window.

Before he walked over, he felt a chill on his back and instinctively sensed a murderous aura. He turned his head stiffly and smiled stiffly, but was glared at by Liu Sui. He was so scared that his neck shrank and he was dragged away by her by the ear.

Everyone present was shocked by the aura of the Crown Princess and automatically made way for her to take the person away.

Prime Minister Shang also stepped aside and waited until the Crown Princess left before entering the house. On the way, he had already heard the housekeeper's explanation of the matter. After entering, he did not get angry when he saw Zhao Huan in dishevel, but politely asked him to leave. Zhao Huan left in disgrace.

After Mu Tianling apologized to Prime Minister Shang, he let Furong leave with him.

On the way back in the carriage, Furong wiped her tears and said that if Zhao Huan didn't marry her, she would die. Chaoyan glanced at Mu Tianling who was resting with his eyes closed. It seemed that she couldn't expect this guy to say a word.

"Why are you talking about life and death in broad daylight? His Highness is here to decide for you. You are from our palace, and His Highness will definitely seek justice for you. Don't worry." Chao Yan said.

Furong cried and said, "So many people saw it. If he doesn't want me, how can I live in the future?"

Chaoyan said, "So many people saw it. He can't deny it even if he wants to. He doesn't care about face, but his father does. Don't worry, His Highness will do justice for you." Furong said, "He forced me to do it. I won't live anymore." Chaoyan said, "Don't worry, His Highness will make him responsible."

……

After returning, Chaoyan first settled Furong down and then went to find Eunuch Wu and told him everything that had happened today.

"Uncle, you said Furong..." Chao Yan paused, "Is it His Highness..." She paused again and didn't continue.

Eunuch Wu said, "If Xiao Lian wants to know, she might as well ask His Highness directly."

Chao Yan stared at the teacup in front of her in a daze. Should she ask or not?

In the evening, Mu Tianling stood in the yard looking at the sky. Chao Yan came over with a midnight snack, put two bowls of hot wontons on the stone table next to him, and invited him to come and eat together.

"Will that Zhao guy really marry Furong?" Chaoyan asked casually after taking a bite of wonton.

Mu Tianling said: "It depends on what the Imperial Concubine thinks."

Chao Yan didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at first. After realizing that Furong was sent by Concubine Yin, she asked herself, "Will Concubine Yin make the decision for Furong?"

Mu Tianling said: "Maybe, maybe not, we'll know when we meet."

After eating a few bites in silence, Chao Yan suddenly said, "I believe in Your Highness."

Mu Tianling looked up at her, a little confused. She smiled at him, "I believe that His Highness will not sell me out. He will definitely provide me with good food and drink until I live a hundred years."

Mu Tianling raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'll offer you a sacrifice. Do you want me to burn two sticks of incense and kowtow to you?"

Chao Yan waved her hand and said, "That's not necessary. Just let me eat well, drink well, dress well and live well."

Mu Tianling said: "You are lazy and greedy, and you still want me to support you until you are a hundred years old?"

Chao Yan said: "If Your Highness doesn't want to, then I'll find someone else to take care of it."

Mu Tianling was speechless for a moment, and after a while he uttered two words, "Who are you looking for?"

Chao Yan said: "Anyway, someone is willing to support me."

Mu Tianling said: "That Han Er, I don't think you have much brains, you fell into the trap with a few sweet words."

Chao Yan said, "Your Highness is the same. When you see Miss Shang Er, your eyes almost pop out." Mu Tianling said, "When you see Wen Er, your eyes want to jump on him, but it's a pity that he has no interest in you at all." Chao Yan smiled and said, "Same here."
