"Your Highness, don't you think what you said is completely unreasonable?" Lin Zeyuan frowned and spoke after realizing what he said.

"The truth?" Xiao Jinzhi seemed to have heard some joke, and there was a cold interest in his peach blossom eyes, "You mean that I did something wrong?"

Lin Zeyuan glanced at the crowd of people watching with his peripheral vision. After the commotion just now, more people gathered.

In the face of everyone's gaze, Lin Zeyuan straightened his back again and said with a frank and fearless expression: "Yes, I'm so bold. The charges given by His Highness the Crown Prince are really ridiculous. I'm sorry that I can't accept it!"

In front of everyone, he didn't believe that Xiao Jinzhi really dared to do anything to him.

Fortunately, he can also take this opportunity to gain a good reputation as someone who is not afraid of power.

Lin Zeyuan's calculation was clear, but at this moment, the light in Chu Huanyan's eyes only showed stupidity.

This trick may be useful for others, but for Xiao Jinzhi...

Chu Huanyan turned to look at Xiao Jinzhi.

The latter's smile did not change and he looked at Lin Zeyuan playfully, "In this case... Qin Li, kill him."

"Yes." Qin Li responded and drew his sword.

Before Lin Zeyuan had time to react, the sharp sword blade touched his neck directly.

For an instant, Lin Zeyuan froze, his heart suddenly stopped beating, and the fearlessness he had felt before disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this scene, Yang was so frightened that she struggled to get up from the ground, but before the rope around her body was untied, she just stood up halfway and fell back with a plop.

She stared at Chu Huanyan and shouted anxiously, "What are you still doing? Why don't you save Yuan'er!"

Chu Huanyan stood there and glanced at Yang.

Just now she was pointing at her nose and yelling, and now she was asking her to save someone. In Yang's heart, her future daughter-in-law was very useful.

However, no matter how dandy Xiao Jinzhi was, it was naturally impossible for him to really kill Lin Zeyuan in the street.

"Your Highness, please calm down. Although Mr. Lin is at fault, his crime is not worthy of death. I hope that His Highness will be magnanimous and spare his life."

Chu Huanyan was blessed, and on the surface she seemed to be pleading for Lin Zeyuan, but she immediately put a wrong label on him.

Xiao Jinzhi's eyes moved towards Chu Huanyan, and when he saw the other person frowning slightly and looking worried, the smile in his eyes couldn't help but grow a little more.

"Miss Chu is wrong. Gu Ke has never been a tolerant person."

Chu Huanyan raised her head and glanced at Xiao Jinzhi, noticing the smile in the other person's eyes, a flash of doubt flashed in her mind, she thought for a moment, and then said again.

"His Royal Highness, no matter what, the Lin family and the Ning'an Marquis' Mansion still have an engagement for the time being. I hope that Your Highness the Crown Prince can give the Ning'an Marquis a little favor and give him small punishments but big warnings. I am very grateful."

"I can give face to the Marquis of Ning'an Mansion, but I'm afraid there are some people who are upright and would rather die than surrender. If that's the case, I can only help him." Xiao Jinzhi's tone was sarcastic, and his eyes fell directly on Lin Zeyuan, "Yes Come on, Master Lin."

Lin Zeyuan felt the cold sword blade against his neck. For the first time, he clearly felt the threat of death. If he hadn't taken into account the people watching, he would have knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

But at this moment, he still held on to his last glimmer of hope, hoping that Chu Huanyan could beg for mercy on his behalf and save his face.

"Yan'er..."

"It seems you still know your fault, Qin Li..." Xiao Jinzhi interrupted Lin Zeyuan, pretending to tell Qin Li to take action.

"I made a mistake, I made a mistake, please spare your life, Your Highness!" Lin Zeyuan hurriedly spoke loudly.

"Master Lin is really willing to admit his mistake?" Xiao Jinzhi asked playfully, raising his eyebrows.

Lin Zeyuan gritted his teeth and nodded, "Yes, I know my fault. It was because of my bad relationship with my mother that I frightened His Highness the Crown Prince's horse. Please forgive me!"

"Ha..." Xiao Jinzhi smiled leisurely, and then looked at Chu Huanyan again, "Miss Chu, although your fiancé seems to be useless, he does have some advantages. At least he begs for mercy very quickly."

Hearing the obvious sarcasm, Lin Zeyuan's face instantly darkened. But at this moment, he no longer dared to express the slightest dissatisfaction.

Chu Huanyan suppressed the smile on her lips and just leaned over to salute and thank her.

She was already very beautiful, and she interceded on behalf of her fiancé in a compassionate and righteous manner. For a time, the people couldn't help but praise her. And Yang's accusation of disrespecting her elders and unjustly accusing her mother-in-law just now disappeared in an instant.

When Lin Zeyuan stood up and went to untie Yang's rope, Xiao Jinzhi walked to Chu Huanyan's side and laughed softly.

"Miss Chu, how about I give you a favor?"

Chu Huanyan looked sideways, Xiao Jinzhi raised his voice and continued.

"Rampage, frightening horses in the busy city, clever words, and protecting the evil mother. The mother and son were imprisoned for three days to serve as a warning to others."

Lin Zeyuan and Yang's expressions changed suddenly, especially Lin Zeyuan. If he was imprisoned for three days, he would naturally be unable to raise more money, so he quickly looked at Chu Huanyan, hoping that the other party would intercede for him again.

Xiao Jinzhi didn't give him a chance to speak, and said to Chu Huanyan with an unhappy expression.

"Miss Chu, just lock her up for three days without any pain. This can be regarded as a good deal for Ning'an Hou Mansion."

"My maid, thank you, Your Highness!" Chu Huanyan said immediately, as if she was not aware of Lin Zeyuan's eager gaze.

Even though they were reluctant, Lin Zeyuan and Yang were still imprisoned by the people found by Qin Li.

In the eyes of everyone, he was lucky enough to be locked up for only three days after he collided with His Highness the Crown Prince.

The farce ended and everyone dispersed.

Halfway back to the Marquis Mansion, the carriage was stopped.

Chu Huanyan looked at the luxurious carriage in front of her, told Xian Yue to stay in the carriage, and got into Xiao Jinzhi's carriage alone.

Soft gold pillows and a cart full of wine.

Chu Huanyan sat firmly in the car, looked at Xiao Jinzhi who was lazily leaning on the carriage drinking, and got straight to the point.

"Why does His Highness the Crown Prince want to help my daughter?"

"Tsk, Miss Chu is really heartless. She didn't even say thank you before questioning Gu Lai."

Xiao Jinzhi's tone was filled with emotion, and he looked like he had been let down. Coupled with his pair of peach blossom eyes, he was full of the attitude of a wanderer.

Chu Huanyan looked at him and said with a smile: "My dear, thank you, Your Highness."

"You don't have to be polite, Miss Chu. Gu never wants to see a beautiful woman suffer injustice. After all..."

"His Royal Highness, does he know about Fujin Tower?" Chu Huanyan interrupted Xiao Jinzhi.

Although it was a question, he was already determined in his heart.

If not, I'm afraid Xiao Jinzhi would not choose to imprison the person and say it was a favor given to him.

Xiao Jinzhi said in the middle of "showing courtesy", his tone was helpless, "Miss Chu, it's not interesting for you to do this. At least you should let Gu Xian take the credit."

Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Jinzhi, really unsure of what the person in front of her wanted to do.

Their eyes met, and after a moment, Chu Huanyan smiled gracefully, showing that she was listening attentively.

"Then please continue, Your Highness."
