Princess Linglong’s petite body trembled, looking at Wen King with disbelief, "Big brother, what are you saying?"
"I said, I think, I should send you away."
Wen King’s expression was extrely resolute, not even glancing at Princess Linglong, "Because the mont I see you, I get unbearably annoyed."
"That’s right."
Martial King nodded without hesitation.
He had no affection for his only sister at all.
"Sister, ah."
Jing King let out a long sigh, "After this, the Imperial City is indeed not the place for you."
"In my opinion, you better leave."
Seeing that her three brothers who shared her blood all wanted to drive her away, Princess Linglong didn’t know what to do for a mont.
"Honglong."
Wen King did not give Princess Linglong a chance to think and directly commanded, "Demote Princess Linglong to a commoner and send her out of the Imperial City."
Honglong, likewise dressed in white, looked at Wen King, "Eldest son, that’s not according to the rules. Princess Linglong is, after all, the King’s..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wen King already sharply cut him off, "Honglong!"
"With the King’s passing, do you not even listen to us three brothers anymore?"
"Your subordinate wouldn’t dare."
"Then why aren’t you going?"
"..."
Honglong was silent for a mont but eventually nodded, "Yes."
He stepped forward, approaching Princess Linglong, "Princess, please."
Princess Linglong remained silent.
She turned around, looking toward the King’s coffin, then knelt on both knees and respectfully kowtowed three tis.
Honglong watched Princess Linglong with a complex expression.
He could feel that, in this instant, Princess Linglong had grown up.
...
"So you brought her here to ?"
Yin Tian lay on a lounging chair, looking at the sowhat agitated Princess Linglong in front of him and Honglong, and spoke indifferently, "Did I ever say I would take her in?"
Coming to Yin Mansion for the second ti, Princess Linglong was utterly different from her previous self.
She stood there, her small hands clutching her gown’s hem, her head lowered, not daring to look at Yin Tian.
Honglong’s eyes were slightly red, and he knelt on one knee, "I had thought of sending the princess to the Qu Family, but the three lords gave the order at the sa ti, forbidding the six major families of the Imperial City from taking in Princess Linglong. I was truly out of options."
"Family Head Yin, you and the princess have been betrothed since childhood. You are her fiance. Now, only you can provide refuge for the princess."
"Betrothal?"
Yin Tian let out a soft chuckle, "Wasn’t that betrothal torn up by Princess Linglong’s own hands? She even said that she was the one divorcing , not the other way around. She also proclaid in public that she would rather die than marry ."
Honglong didn’t speak, his one-knee kneel turning into a full prostration, "Family Head Yin, the King treated well, and the princess was his most beloved daughter. I beg you, for the King’s sake, to take her in."
"No."
Yin Tian’s reply was very decisive.
Honglong was about to speak again, but Princess Linglong stopped him, "Uncle Honglong, there’s no need to beg him."
"Since I am the one who caused all this trouble, I can’t bla anyone else. Even if I die, it has nothing to do with anyone else."
"But Princess, you..."
Honglong tried to say more, but Princess Linglong smiled sorrowfully, "This is the retribution I deserve..."
Yin Tian looked at Princess Linglong with surprise, not expecting that in just a few days’ ti, she would have changed from a previously arrogant and haughty princess to this.
Honglong sighed softly, his expression awkward as he looked at Princess Linglong.
Yet Princess Linglong turned around without hesitation and walked towards the exit of Yin Mansion.
Honglong opened his mouth as if to speak but ended up saying nothing.
He looked back at Yin Tian and promptly prostrated again.
As the head of the King’s personal guard, he abandoned all his dignity, "People have their own aspirations. Family Head Yin, I only ask that you offer a bit of assistance to the princess, please don’t let her suffer."
Yin Tian said nothing, rely waving his hand.
Seeing this, Honglong stood up and walked out of Yin Mansion without saying a word.
A while later, Yin Tian spoke in resignation, "The show’s over, aren’t you going to co out?"
From behind the nearby wall, Su Qinwei and several other girls all erged, looking embarrassed.
"Yin Tian, you were just so heartless I hardly recognized you..."
Chen Yu murmured.
"Exactly, exactly."
Yu Mingmiao nodded repeatedly, "Um... seeing how pitiful that princess was, why don’t you just take her in? It’s not like our ho doesn’t have the space."
"Tian, that girl was already so pathetic, and she even humbled herself to beg you. Why did you have to be like that to her?"
Mu Lingshan spoke softly.
Yin Tian’s gaze swept over the girls in front of him, "After how she treated you all that day, you’re not upset?"
"Everyone has been through that phase, what’s there to be annoyed about?"
Su Qinwei let out a light laugh.
Yin Tian pondered a mont before finally saying, "Send for a Heaven-level Assassin."
Soon, a shadow appeared.
"Go, keep an eye on Princess Linglong."
"Don’t let anything happen to her and provide so assistance if necessary."
