Chapter 62 - : The Villain Brought Suits Against His Victims

She would like to go to see Mrs. Lingtian together with Lin Zimo, but now she felt hesitant.

“Is the Fourth Lady with you? I heard she is also Master Lingtian’s disciple?” asked Lin Zimo, trying to sound as casual as possible.

‘The Fourth Lady? Doctor Lin means my sister-in-law?’

Murong Xue left the tavern in such a hurry that she only started to worry about Luo Qianqian now, Murong Xue took a few deep breaths and said the truth, “Actually… actually I was kicked out by a senior disciple… …”

Lin Zimo was stupefied, he found it hard to believe, “Why? What happened?”

Kicking the disciple out after having such ado? What happened? Murong Xue was the most favored princess in this country? Why would Master Lingtian allow his disciple to do that?

“I… I…”, faltered Murong Xue, she clenched her fists in her sleeves and unclenched them, she went back and forth for a few seconds.

Finally she mustered up her courage and decided to make a clean breast of the drama, it was Doctor Lin who was asking the question, someone she fully trusted.

With that in mind, Murong Xue looked at Lin Zimo in the eyes, ‘wow, Doctor Lin’s eyes are so pretty, I can stare at them all day long… …’

“Doctor Lin, here is what has happened… …”

Murong Xue held nothing back and told the whole story, “Doctor Lin, it’s not like I’m against the idea of wearing boy clothes, I’m just worried if I got caught in the palace His Majesty will ground me and not allow me to learn martial arts any more. But… but that senior disciple he didn’t even give me a chance to explain, he was so mean! I felt so wronged that I said fine, I don’t want to learn from him and I ran out.”

Lin Zimo somehow was amused by this, he was expecting some serious description about this only to find all this was caused by some uniform.

“Xue, come on now, be honest with me, are you really quitting?” Lin Zimo knew Murong Xue too well, she had been talking about how much she wanted to learn martial arts for so long. Plus she was vivacious and active by nature, no way would she give up such a great opportunity.

Murong Xue felt really wronged this time, she shook her head and said, “Doctor Lin, I don’t want to lie to you, I’m not a quitter and I want to learn!”

“Great! That’s the Little Xue that I know, don’t worry, your senior disciple will think this through, and I’m sure you two will get along just fine. Do you want me to escort you back home now?” Lin Zimo comforted her.

Murong Xue nodded, she caught hold of Lin Zimo’s sleeve and said, “I know Doctor Lin is the best, thank you so much!”

No trace of displeasure could be seen on Murong Xue’s face now, she was beaming like a spring flower, she was glad she could spend some time with Lin Zimo alone.

Lin Zimo sometimes wondered why Murong Xue had never referred him as Brother Zimo like she would always refer Su Liancheng as Brother Liancheng, but today was not the best timing to bring up this question.

Lin Zimo was an orphan, so he cherished his friendship with Murong Yun and Su Liancheng a lot and he treated Murong Xue like his own little sister, he had always been patient and gentle when Murong Xue was around him.

In the Imperial Study, the Imperial Palace.

A man in royal yellow dragon robe was reviewing the memorials, his presence looked intimidating.

“Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here.” Eunuch Cao reported.

Eunuch Cao had been waiting on His Majesty since he was thirteen years old, His Majesty trusted him a lot.

“Oh? What is he doing here at this hour?” asked His Majesty, he didn’t even raise his head.

It was a known fact that His Majesty didn’t like the Crown Prince, he didn’t find this son worthy, his other sons suited the title more than Mu Chaoyang.

However, His Majesty had no choice but to grant the title to Mu Chaoyangsince he was The Empress’s first born.

Eunuch Cao hunched down and replied, “To reply to Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is not here alone… …”

Thinking of the scene outside of the study, Eunuch Cao shuddered, a tinge of fear slithered down his spine.

Seeing that, His Majesty narrowed his eyes and said, “What is it? Just tell me.”

Eunuch Cao clenched his fists and said, “To reply to Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here with assassins.”

His Majesty threw the memorials on the ground and fumed, “This is outrageous! How dare he bring assassins to the palace?”

Eunuch Cao was terrified, he thumped his head on the ground and explained, “Your Majesty, I didn’t make it clear, the Crown Prince is here with dead assassins, he is here to beg Your Majesty to uphold justice… …”

With that Eunuch Cao trembled in fear.

He didn’t dare to report this to His Majesty in the beginning, even though the assassins were dead but the action was not proper. But the Crown Prince insisted this was of great importance and he needed to report this to His Majesty as soon as possible.

Eunuch Cao didn’t dare to reject the Crown Prince so he reported this to His Majesty.

In a towering rage, His Majesty scolded Eunuch Cao, “You have been serving me since you were a kid, what are you thinking today? Go tell him I attend to numerous affairs every day and I don’t have tome for his shenanigans. If he is looking for justice, go tell him Yamen (government office in feudal China) is the right place to go!”

His Majesty could not believe his son was here to see him with some dead bodies.

Eunuch Cao mustered up all his strength and said, “The Crown Prince said… he said you are the only one who could redress this case because he… he says this is about… about…”

“About who? Just say it!”

“It’s Prince Eighth who has killed his assassins!” with that Eunuch Cao kowtowed to His Majesty and explained, “Please forgive me, Your Majesty, I’m just repeating what the Crown Prince just said.”

Prince Eighth was the most favored son of His Majesty, and Prince Eighth was widely acclaimed across the whole country due to his feats on the battlefield.

“Yun?” hearing his favorite son’s name, His Majesty calmed down.
