A handsome man in gorgeous clothes walked over slowly.

The official who had spoken to Mu Beiyan earlier immediately bowed his head and saluted: "Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Looking at the Crown Prince Xiao Chunran in front of him, Mu Beiyan was slightly stunned.

No wonder Feng Yunmo said that Shen Qingyin looked very much like his aunt Jin Yunyan.

As Jin Yunyan's biological son, Xiao Chunran looks quite similar to Shen Qingyin.

After being stunned for a moment, Mu Beiyan also bowed and said, "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Shen Qingyin and several maids around her, who were in the courtyard, also bowed.

Although I couldn't see what the person outside the courtyard looked like, just by listening to his voice, I knew that the prince was not someone to be trifled with.

"Yuwen Jin violated the order of His Majesty, and his crime is unforgivable. Someone saw him enter your courtyard with their own eyes. You'd better hand him over quickly, or I will be rude to you!" Xiao Chunran spoke in a cold and stern voice.

Mu Beiyan said calmly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince may have made a mistake. I don't know Yu Wenjin at all."

Xiao Chunran's eyes turned cold: "Really? Then the prince will go in and search."

After saying that, he waved his hand and was about to lead his men in.

Mu Beiyan stretched out his hand to stop him, "Your Highness, this is a private residence, and there are women in the courtyard. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to force your way in like this, right?"

Xiao Chunran snorted lightly: "Not appropriate? This prince is searching for people, who dares to say it's not appropriate?"

"Even if you are the prince, you should abide by the laws of the Xituo Kingdom, right? It is unacceptable to lead troops to break into private homes without real evidence!" Mu Beiyan refused to give in.

Xiao Chunran's eyes became colder: "Why, are you trying to stop me, the prince?"

"If Your Highness the Crown Prince insists on forcing his way in, don't blame me for being rude!" Mu Beiyan said decisively.

"Get started!" Xiao Chunran no longer had the patience to continue talking to Mu Beiyan. He took a step back and gave a direct order.

The officers and soldiers quickly stepped forward and were about to take action when a voice came: "Stop!"

Mu Beiyan, Shen Qingyin and others turned around and found Yu Wenjin coming out.

He walked to Mu Beiyan, bowed to him and said, "Thank you for your generosity in giving me tea. I will take my leave now."

Mu Beiyan immediately understood what Yu Wenjin meant.

The prince wanted to search for someone in the name of arresting him.

If he did not come forward, once the prince led the officials into the courtyard to search, they would definitely find the king.

He said this in order to distance himself from the matter.

Yu Wenjin walked out of the courtyard and bowed to Xiao Chunran, saying, "Your Highness, I am here. I don't know what crime I have committed. Would you like Your Highness to come and arrest me personally?"

As he spoke, Yu Wenjin removed the two mustaches at the corners of his lips.

Xiao Chunran snorted: "Prime Minister Yuwen, you went against the emperor's will and left the mansion. You have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Don't you know that?"

"Against the will of the Lord? How does Your Highness know that I, an old minister, am against the will of the Lord?" Yu Wenjin looked at Xiao Chunran in astonishment.

Xiao Chunran suddenly lowered his eyes and remained silent.

After a pause, he said, "Your Majesty told me. Why, it's not true?"

Yu Wenjin nodded: "Yes... I am willing to take the blame. I will leave with the prince now."

As he spoke, Yu Wenjin took the initiative to walk towards the officer.

But Xiao Chunran only heard him say: "Come here, arrest all the people in this yard!"

Yu Wenjin was shocked: "Your Highness, I just borrowed a cup of tea from them... They have nothing to do with this matter! Your Highness, please don't implicate innocent people!"

Xiao Chunran's face was grim: "Humph, innocent? They said before that they didn't know you! Now, you are standing in front of me, obviously they are deceiving me. Whether you are innocent or not, we have to catch you and interrogate you to know!"

"Your Highness, look at my attire. How is it different from that of an ordinary old man on the street? It is true that they do not recognize me—"

Yu Wenjin wanted to say more, but Xiao Chunran waved his hand and had someone take him away, and ignored him.

Mu Beiyan looked at the situation in front of him with a calm expression.

Xiao Chunran's purpose of coming here was obviously for the king.

No matter what Yu Wenjin said today, he would never let it go.

It is impossible not to take action, only by taking action can there be a chance...

Xiao Chunran gave an order: "Capture him!"

Immediately, dozens of officers rushed up with swords drawn.

Mu Beiyan turned around and gave Yun Wei and the others a look, the meaning of which was very clear, asking them to protect Shen Qingyin and retreat.

Then he drew out his long sword and held it across his body, "Since Your Highness the Crown Prince is pressing me, I will not be polite!"

Mu Beiyan drew his sword and in the blink of an eye he had knocked down the weapons of several people in front of him. His speed was unbelievable.

The officers were stunned on the spot.

After a moment, the officers behind reacted and more of them raised their weapons and rushed towards Mu Beiyan.

Mu Beiyan remained motionless, waiting for them to arrive in front of him. He then touched the ground with both feet, leaped up, and flew straight towards Prince Xiao Chun with the tip of his sword, also at an extremely fast speed.

Xiao Chunran was standing behind the officials at this moment, and the people around him had all rushed to the front.

He had never expected that Mu Beiyan would dare to do this. Everything happened so suddenly!

In shock, he reached for the sword at his waist, but he was already many steps too slow.

As soon as his hand touched the hilt, Mu Beiyan's sword was already across his neck.

"Stop, stop it all!" Mu Beiyan shouted loudly to the officers.

The officers stood there with their eyes wide open.

Xiao Chunran couldn't have imagined that Mu Beiyan would attack him directly, and they couldn't have imagined it even more.

Who would believe that someone would dare to attack His Royal Highness the Crown Prince alone in front of hundreds of officials?

Do you want to stop living?

No, it’s that the whole family doesn’t want to live anymore?

Or a man wearing a silk robe that restricts his hands and feet and looks like a businessman?

They never thought he had this ability...

“You’d better release His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately, otherwise, you won’t be able to escape today!” The leading officer stepped forward, intending to intimidate Mu Beiyan, but he couldn’t even speak clearly.

Mu Beiyan chuckled and said, "Whether I can fly or not, I have to take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with me. Everyone, get out of the way!"

The officers looked at Xiao Chunran and didn't know whether to retreat or advance.

"Everyone, step back first!" Xiao Chunran raised his hand to signal everyone.

He was a little unsure about this completely unexpected person in front of him and could only go along with his wishes for the time being.

With Xiao Chunran's order, the officers retreated helplessly.

Mu Beiyan waited until they retreated ten steps away before he escorted Xiao Chunran into the courtyard and ordered people to close the gate and lock all the officers and soldiers outside.

"I'm sorry, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come to our door, I have to inconvenience His Royal Highness." After Mu Beiyan brought Xiao Chunran to the main hall in the backyard, he let go of the sword in his hand, but ordered people to tie his hands behind his back.

"Have you ever thought about the consequences of treating me like this?" Xiao Chunran glared at him.

Mu Beiyan cupped his hands: "I believe Your Highness can see that none of this is my original intention. I am also forced to do so."

At this moment, Shen Qingyin, who came into the room later, finally saw Xiao Chunran clearly in front of him.
