After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

"No, no, no, how could I dare!" Luo Mengfei stammered in fright.

She looked at Xie Xing, only to see Xie Xing obediently lowering his head, standing behind Jun Lanjin.

Jun Lanjin raised his hand, and all the male prostitutes in the room left.

Jun Lanjin glanced at Xie Xing with a nonchalant look, then turned to Luo Mengfei and said, "Do I really need to invite you back to the palace again?"

Luo Mengfei also hung her head, like a wilted eggplant, and followed behind Jun Lanjin dejectedly.

The two were filled with apprehension.

Especially Luo Mengfei.

Last time, Princess De'an was confined for a year by Jun Lanjin simply for her poor conduct in front of him, and was even imprisoned in the Shenxing Division.

It would be a huge joke if Luo Mengfei, a princess, were imprisoned in the Censorate, especially if she was caught by Jun Lanjin for going to a brothel.

Luo Mengfei could only look at Xie Xing beside her and ask him with her eyes: What's going on?

Xie Xing shrugged: I don't know, who knew it would be such a coincidence that we ran into Prince Jin?

Judging from Jun Lanjin's appearance just now, it's hard to tell whether he was angry or not.

[In all honesty, I really didn't do anything, I didn't even drink any alcohol. So, I'm being unfairly implicated.]

Xie Xing looked aggrieved.

Jun Lanjin walked in front of the two, and upon hearing their thoughts, he snorted softly to himself.

Outside the brothel, the sun was shining brightly.

Jun Lanjin glanced at Luo Mengfei with a half-smile and said, "Practicing debauchery in broad daylight, you have truly given me a great surprise."

"One is a princess about to be married, and the other is her companion. What do you say…?"

Jun Lanjin twirled the ring on his phone and said calmly, "The news still reached His Majesty's ears. What punishment should be given to the two of you?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Mengfei's eyes immediately welled up with tears. She looked at Jun Lanjin pleadingly and said anxiously, "Your Highness, please don't! I know I was wrong. I really didn't do anything. I just drank some wine."

"As a princess of noble birth, it would be one thing if she didn't set a good example, but to bring her attendants to such a sordid place as a brothel only adds to her sins."

Luo Mengfei: "..."

Luo Mengfei pouted, turned to Xie Xing, tugged at his sleeve, and asked him to say something.

Xie Xing: ...

She didn't dare to say anything at that moment.

Meeting Luo Mengfei's pleading gaze, Xie Xing had no choice but to open his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Jun Lanjin: "Do you think I didn't say anything to you?"

"Xie Xing?"

As soon as the words fell, Xie Xing slid down to his knees. The kneeling was incredibly smooth. He opened his mouth and closed his eyes and said, "Your Highness, all the mistakes are Xie Xing's fault. Please don't be angry."

Jun Lanjin lowered his eyes, looking at Xie Xing's tense face, and after a while, he laughed in exasperation.

"You're quick to kneel, as if you're afraid others won't know what you've done?"

"stand up."

Taking advantage of the situation, Xie Xing grabbed Jun Lanjin's leg and said shamelessly, "No, if Your Highness is not appeased, I will not get up."

Jun Lanjin: "..."

he:??.

He shifted his foot and said speechlessly, "Why am I angry with you? Get up."

Xie Xing gripped his trouser legs with both hands, making Jun Lanjin feel that the waist belt was slightly loose.

If you pull any further, she'll pull your pants down completely.

This damn girl!

Jun Lanjin's originally cold face turned red. He gritted his teeth, grabbed Xie Xing by the collar, and lifted him up.

"Thank you, Xing!"

Luo Mengfei was stunned by Xie Xing's actions. Her eyes widened as she watched Jun Lanjin lift Xie Xing up as if he were a piece of clothing.

Xie Xing met Jun Lanjin's angry eyes, chuckled twice, and silently took out his thumb and forefinger, making a heart shape with his fingers: "Heart, Your Highness?"

Jun Lanjin: "...What kind of behavior is this, so unreliable?"

"When you entered the palace as a study companion, this is what your tutor taught you?"

Xie Xing awkwardly put his hands behind his back.

Jun Lanjin was holding the man by the collar, just about to put him down and take the two away, when a commotion broke out on the street.

The rapid sound of horses' hooves came galloping by.

"My God!"

"The horse is startled!"

"Ah! Run!"

The people on the street screamed and quickly retreated to their sides.

The horse charged straight at Jun Lanjin.

Xie Xing felt a pang of anxiety upon seeing this, and she instinctively reached out to protect Jun Lanjin: "Your Highness!"

At this critical moment, Jun Lanjin grabbed Xie Xing by the collar and threw him into his arms. Xie Xing was held in Jun Lanjin's arms like a princess, with his hands clasped together in front of his chest and his almond-shaped eyes wide open.

In sight, Jun Lanjin appeared calm and composed. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, stepped onto the horse's back, put one arm around Xie Xing, and casually drew the sword from a guard in the carriage, cutting the reins.

To avoid the cars behind us bumping along.

After the reins were cut, Jun Lanjin put his arm around Xie Xing and sat on the horse's back.

He pulled on the reins, squeezed his legs together, and with a forceful thrust, the horse's hooves lifted into the air, bringing it to a stop.

"hiss!"

A chorus of exclamations erupted from the surrounding area.

In the carriage.

Yin Ruyu struggled to maintain her balance in the bumpy carriage. Finally, the carriage came to a stop, and she steadied herself. A corner of the carriage curtain was lifted, revealing Jun Lanjin holding the reins and looking at his entire figure.

With just one glance, Yin Ruyu's eyes flickered.

That is……

With Jun Lanjin's guidance, the horse finally calmed down.

"Your Highness!" The guards realized what was happening and immediately followed Jun Lanjin.

Jun Lanjin carried Xie Xing down and threw the reins to the judge's guards.

Xie Xing was already dizzy from all that, and her legs were weak when she put her feet down. It was only after Luo Mengfei supported her that she was able to steady herself.

At that moment, a gasp of surprise rang out from the crowd.

"Whose daughter is this?"

"She really is a beautiful woman."

"His demeanor is truly like that of a celestial being!"

"..."

Xie Xing and Luo Mengfei looked in the direction of the sound and saw a beautiful woman with a pale face, dressed in a light blue dress, getting out of the car.

The beautiful woman was being supported by a maid, and she looked frightened, her beautiful eyes like those of a startled fawn.

She walked gracefully towards them, glancing up at Jun Lanjin, Xie Xing, Luo Mengfei, and the others.

Finally, her gaze lingered on Jun Lanjin, a blush rising on her fair cheeks. She said shyly, "Ruyu thanks this young master for saving her."

Xie Xing tilted his head and looked at Yin Ruyu.

This person...

[This person is the most beautiful woman in Chu, who, along with Xie Mingzhu, is known as both the most beautiful and the most talented woman.] The system announced: [Yin Ruyu, daughter of the Yin family, is a woman whom Xie Mingzhu considers a thorn in her side in the story.]

Oh!

Xie Xing suddenly realized.

[It seems to me that she has a crush on Jun Lanjin.]

The system explained: "In the early stages, the Yin family's daughter admired strength, but she wavered between two men until Jun Lanjin died, at which point she finally focused all her attention on Luo Hanfeng."
