"Let's see who dares!"

"Search! Search for me!"

For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense and neither of them gave in.

Wang Peiru glared with her almond-shaped eyes and said fearlessly, "I will search in person. I want to see what you dare to do to me!"

The next second, a sword was placed on her neck at lightning speed.

"You, what are you going to do?" Wang Peiru pointed at Mu Yan tremblingly.

Wang Peiru's maidservant beside her was also panicked and exclaimed: "Ah! Lady Liangdi!"

Mu Yan narrowed her eyes slightly and said lightly: "Why are you so nervous? Didn't you say that I dare not do anything to you?"

Wang Peiru pretended to be calm: "Swords have no eyes, you better be careful, if you dare to hurt my prince, I will not let you go."

Although she was sure that Mu Yan would not dare to really kill her with a sword, if she was accidentally injured and left with a scar, it would be a loss.

The Crown Princess had a scar on her hand when she was naughty as a child. She had just ridiculed someone for this the day before yesterday. If she accidentally got a scar as well, wouldn't the concubines in the Crown Prince's mansion laugh to death?

Mu Yan was not the kind of person who would be threatened. After hearing her words, he moved the sword in his hand one inch closer to her neck. If it was an inch deeper, Wang Peiru would definitely bleed today.

"I want to see how you won't let me go."

Wang Peiru was frightened when she saw that Mu Yan was really coming. She finally saw clearly that Mu Yan was a lunatic, and the more he went against her, the more powerful she became.

At this moment, she saw the situation clearly, and her voice softened: "Princess Pingting, let's talk it over. Put down your sword first, and I will let those servants who offended you just now kowtow to you and apologize."

At this moment, all the old women who had offended Mu Yan had black lines in their heads. They were just following orders, so how could they be considered blind?

Alas, I really followed the wrong master.

Mu Yan tightly grasped the sword in his hand and looked at her with contempt: "What? You are afraid now, don't you think it's too late?"

Wang Peiru's voice was filled with panic: "You, do you really dare to kill me?"

She didn't believe that Mu Yan really dared to take her life.

Mu Yan's eyes were stern, and he said solemnly word by word: "This sword of mine was personally bestowed upon the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion by the late emperor. It can be used to slay the evildoers and rebels. You can kill first and report later.

You searched the residence of an official appointed by the imperial court without permission, which is evil. You contradicted the princess who was given a title by the current emperor as a concubine of the crown prince, which is treason. Why don't I dare to execute you?"

The pressure of one hat after another made Wang Peiru breathless. She was really panicked at this moment, but Mu Yan's words were reasonable and she could not refute them.

The prince had spoiled her too much these days, making her feel that she had already become the one in power who could decide the life and death of others. She had completely forgotten that she was just a small concubine of the prince. Now Mu Yan's words instantly woke her up.

She really regretted listening to Mu Xue's instigation and coming here to cause trouble for Mu Yan.

"Crown Prince, the Crown Princess has arrived—"

Along with a shrill voice, a yellow figure strode in.

"Prince!"

When Wang Peiru saw her savior had arrived, she spoke in a delicate voice and looked at the man in the dragon robe walking in front with a look of grievance.

Then he said to Mu Yan in dissatisfaction: "The Crown Prince is here, why don't you let me go."

"Don't worry, my dear."

Mo Yanli hurriedly comforted her. A hint of displeasure flashed across the face of the woman holding the sword, but since Wang Peiru was the one who provoked this matter first, he could not get angry and could only speak to Mu Yan in a gentle tone.

"Princess Pingting, my beloved concubine was reckless in this matter, but she also wanted to help me share my worries and wanted to catch the fugitive who was rescued as soon as possible. However, I believe that all the officials of the Mu family are loyal and righteous, and they will definitely not harbor the fugitive. How about you release my beloved concubine and let this matter go?"

Mu Yan looked at Mo Yanli in front of her with disdain and annoyance.

Just now when Wang Peiru and her men broke into the Mu family's villa, you pretended not to know. But when Wang Peiru was in danger, you immediately showed up. You simply condoned Wang Peiru's actions. Now that things are out of control, you come out to smooth things over, trying to get the matter over with.

It's so embarrassing to win or lose.

He is the Crown Prince of Northern Qi. No wonder he was deposed in the previous life. He was really not a wise choice for a ruler.

She snorted coldly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince's partiality is too obvious."

Mo Yanli's face immediately fell when he heard this. After all, he was the current crown prince, and his every move was majestic.

"Mu Yan, I'm trying to talk to you in a nice way. Please don't be ungrateful. Mu Wan is from your Mu family after all. Do you think your Mu family can really get rid of the relationship?"

The meaning was very clear. Although the emperor did not suspect the entire Mu family because Mu Wan was rescued, it was hard to say what would happen in the future. After all, the king's mind was unpredictable, and there was no guarantee that he would not pursue the matter later.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, the Crown Princess immediately stepped out to smooth things over. "My Lady, the Crown Prince is right. Sister Peiru was just anxious and bumped into you accidentally. I don't think she meant it. Let's each take a step back and let this matter pass, okay?"

Wang Peiru also spoke up at the right time: "Yes, I was just too anxious, it was not intentional, Princess, you should put down the sword."

Mu Yan thought for a moment and felt that what Mo Yanli said made sense.

After all, Mu Wan is from the Mu family. Her crime is not only about framing the son of an important official, but she is also suspected of being involved with other countries. Although there is no definite evidence, the matter could be big or small.

The emperor has not blamed the entire Mu family now, but it is hard to say what will happen in the future. If the prince advises the emperor, the Mu family will be in danger.

She weighed the pros and cons again and again, and reluctantly let go of the sword from Wang Peiru's neck.

Wang Peiru heaved a sigh of relief and immediately threw herself into the prince's arms, looking as gentle as a boneless person.

Mu Yan couldn't bear to see her being so pretentious, so he shifted his gaze away from the two of them and looked at Fang Yuwei beside them.

When Fang Yuwei saw the two of them being intimate, she looked indifferent on the surface, but her right hand was tightly grasping the cuff of her sleeve and her mouth was tightly biting her lower lip.

Yes, how could she really not care? It was just because of her status as the Crown Princess and because Wang Peiru was now the Crown Prince's favorite woman, that she had to keep tolerating it.

Mu Yan looked her up and down, and sighed that the Crown Princess was truly dignified and elegant, and her manners were friendly and humble. However, our Crown Prince was blinded by Wang Peiru, this wild flower, and could not see the good in the people around him.

It seemed that Mu Yan's gaze was too hot. Fang Yuwei also noticed where the gaze came from. Mu Yan nodded slightly at her, expressing her gratitude for her stepping forward to smooth things over. Fang Yuwei also smiled at her, her eyes full of kindness.

Thinking of Fang Yuwei's ending in her previous life, Mu Yan couldn't help but feel pity. This Crown Princess had been doomed to tragedy since the day she married into the Crown Prince's Mansion.

Her life was like a dream.

After Mo Yanli comforted Wang Peiru, he said softly, "Okay, my beloved, let's go back home."

"it is good."

The boneless voice made everyone's scalp tingle.

Wang Peiru is really a person who forgets everything once she gains power. Before leaving, she did not forget to give Mu Yan a provocative look.

This glance made Ling Yu's two maids furious, "Miss, look at her smug look."

Mu Yan frowned and said, "Okay, why bother with such a villain?"

Then he asked, "Why was Mu Wan kidnapped? Ling Yu, didn't I ask you to keep an eye on the Dali Temple? What happened?"
