Chapter 377 Encountering Jun Lintian
Chapter 377 Encountering Jun Lintian
Jun Linyu looked around and realized that this was not the place to talk.
"Li'er, my brother has heard about your situation, but I have something important to do right now. So you should go to the inn and wait for me. After I go to the palace to meet the emperor and get a feel for his reaction, I will come to the inn to find you."
Jun Luoli curled her lips when she heard this. The third prince had just returned from the border. If his business was delayed because of her, let alone pleading for her, he would probably be implicated as well. It would not be worth it.
"Okay~"
Jun Linyu gave Fen Ji a look, and Fen Ji immediately understood and took out a space ring and gave it to Jun Luoli.
"Thank you, Third Brother."
Jun Linyu responded and left with his army.
Jun Luoli looked at the spirit stones in the space, her eyes slightly reddened, and she sniffed. She had always had no worries about food and clothing, and she had never thought that there would be a day like this when she couldn't even take out money to buy a steamed bun.
Uncle Ji looked at all this and narrowed his eyes. Jun Linyu was really a smiling tiger. He was probably helping Jun Luoli with a purpose.
The play was over and I was about to leave when I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of my eye.
In the crowd, Murong Ning, who was dressed as a man, curled her lips. Although Jun Linyu was a handsome man, she could see at a glance that he was very hypocritical. From the very beginning when he saw the fourth princess, the contemptuous look flashed across his eyes, so fast that it still could not escape her sharp eyes.
The women around him actually praised him again and again.
She had inquired about it, and the love history of the Third Prince was quite fascinating, but the fact that both his principal wife and concubine died suddenly at the same time was chilling. When she thought about the inexplicable words that Master Kong Chen suddenly said to her and how he gave her a jade pendant that could keep her safe, it was possible that the Third Prince was unlucky in marriage. Thinking of this, Murong Ning's body trembled uncontrollably.
There was a floating sound coming from not far away, and several people looked around, as if looking for someone in the crowd. Murong Ning widened his eyes, looked around, and quickly hid in the teahouse. However, the familiar figure was seen by Murong Yun.
Murong Ning panicked and quickened his pace. He dodged and hid in a side room, locking the door. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, in an instant -
Jun Lintian stepped forward and covered the sound of Murong Ning's scream.
lecher!
Murong Ning glared at the person who covered her mouth with anger. In an instant, her eyes widened. Two, two, two... Prince? The room she broke into was actually the second prince's! She was wearing men's clothes now, so the second prince shouldn't recognize her, right?
After making sure that she would not scream, Jun Lintian let go of Murong Ning and turned back to his original position. Only then did Murong Ning realize that there was another person in the room.
At this time, the noise outside was getting closer and closer. If she was caught by her royal brother, she would definitely be scolded again and might even be confined to her house.
"Second... Your Highness, I have no intention of offending you. Please don't mind. I just want to ask Your Highness for help. Those bad guys outside want to capture me, woo woo woo."
"Oh~ You know me, the prince. But why should I help you?"
Jun Lintian pretended to be surprised, slowly picked up the tea in his hand and started drinking it. At an angle that Murong Ning couldn't see, a hint of cunning flashed across his eyes.
Murong Ning wiped the non-existent tears with his hands and said aggrievedly: "Your Highness, they are actually my relatives. I have been fair and handsome since I was young. They have long wanted to sell me... to those Nanfeng Pavilion to be a prostitute. Wuwuwu, please help me, Your Highness!"
Jun Lintian almost spit out his tea. How could the Second Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty be so good at making up stories? However, the fact that he appeared here was indeed not convenient to reveal to others, let alone Murong Yun.
Seeing that Murong Yun and others were about to come into the room, Jun Lintian and Uncle Ji looked at each other, quickly came to Murong Ning, pressed her mute point, flew out of the inn, and left Uncle Ji in the inn to deal with it.
Murong Ning was being held like a chicken by Jun Lintian at this moment. She was angry but dared not say anything. There was nothing she could do. Who told her to run into Prince Cangyue and ask him for help?
Not far from the post station.
Jun Lintian untied her mute point and casually threw Murong Ning into a pile of grass nearby, as if he was throwing away an unimportant object.
Ah!
Murong Ning was about to curse when Jun Lintian spoke first.
"Now that the Third Imperial Brother has returned to the city, the Second Princess should just stay at the post station and wait for her marriage. If a joke were to happen today, it would not be good for either the Western Jin Dynasty or Cang Yue."
Jun Lintian spoke in a deep voice, and Murong Ning's eyes widened, "You, you, you...you know it's this princess!"
"This prince is not blind!"
Murong Ning was furious. Since he had recognized her just now, why didn't he expose her and deliberately laughed at her? Damn it, he carried her like a chicken all the way and threw her into the haystack. This Jun Lintian really had no manners at all. She was so angry!
"Since you knew it was me from the beginning, you still, you still... treated me like that!"
"Second Princess, I am here to help you. If it weren't for me, you would have been captured by your relatives and taken to Nanfeng Tower to be a prostitute."
Murong Ning choked up immediately, her eyes spitting fire. This damn Jun Lintian must have done it on purpose! She gritted her teeth and squeezed out word by word, "Then this princess really thanks you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Jun Lintian looked at her deflated expression, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"You're welcome, Second Princess. This is what this prince should do."
"Since the second princess has escaped from the 'devil's clutches', I will take my leave first!" Jun Lintian grinned and disappeared on the spot.
Murong Ning grabbed the grass on the ground and threw it in the direction Jun Lintian was going.
"Damn Jun Lintian, he's pissed me off to death!"
"Don't fall into this princess's hands, otherwise..."
Murong Ning's angry gaze fell on the haystack, and he kept stepping on the grass on the ground, as if that pile of grass was Jun Lintian.
Jun Lintian in the dark looked at Murong Ning with amusement. He was holding a grudge like this. He was just teasing him and actually compared him to a haystack and stepped on him harder.
Murong Ning did not give up until her feet were tired. She thought of something and hurriedly walked towards the post station. She almost forgot her business. She had to erase all traces before her brother came back and find an excuse to cover it up. Anyway, she was already in the post station, and even if her brother was suspicious, there would be no evidence to prove that the person he saw was her.
······
As expected, what happened at the city gate today reached the emperor's ears, but just as Jun Lintian said, Jun Linyu was not punished or criticized, but was praised instead.
