C29 How Could He be with the Crown Prince?

Nan Gong Qian smiled faintly when he heard that. There was no need for him to be so noble. Anyone with eyes would be able to tell that Lin Ruo Yin was no less noble than the famous Lin Ruo Xi. However, why did this man say that? Moreover, he seemed to be overly concerned about Lin Ruo Yin. This was quite interesting.

Nan Gong Qian realized that his interest in this man had surpassed the women behind him. Seeing that his body was trembling and his eyes were not filled with fear, he waved at him and said, "Come over here."

Xiao Bei frowned slightly, but he did not know that his action had landed in the eyes of the Crown Prince.

"What's your name?" Nan Gong Qian asked.

"Xiao Bei."

Nan Gong Qian nodded and asked again, "Which palace are you from? Your appearance is very delicate, why don't you follow me?"

Xiao Bei was stunned when he heard Nan Gong Qian's words. The people beside him quickly reminded him, "It's your fortune that the Crown Prince recognizes you. Hurry up and thank him."

Hearing that, Xiao Bei finally came back to his senses. He subconsciously raised his head to look at Nan Gong Qian, then knelt down and said, "Crown Prince, please forgive me. I have disturbed Your Highness. I deserve to die."

"What do you mean?" Nan Gong Qian lowered his head and stared at the person kneeling by his feet.

Xiao Bei felt his head go numb. He recalled the instructions from the old cook and could not get too close to the people of the imperial family. He lowered his head and said, "I... I am not a eunuch from the palace."

Xiao Bei had always listened to the old cook since he was young. Since she had given him such an order, he would do as she said. However, he really didn't know how a small character like him could attract the attention of the Crown Prince.

"Oh? You mean you don't want to be used by the Crown Prince?" Nan Gong Qian's words were filled with anger, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Xiao Bei's attitude.

"I don't mean that." Xiao Bei hurriedly explained.

Nan Gong Qian snorted coldly, "Since that's the case, when I return to the palace, you will follow me into the palace and serve me."

Xiao Bei's heart was filled with sadness, but he suddenly raised his head and looked at Nan Gong Qian.

Nan Gong Qian said boldly, "His Highness the Crown Prince has taken a fancy to me. It should be my fortune. However, I was raised by someone and I really can't bear to leave my foster mother behind. I hope that Your Highness can retract your order."

Nan Gong Qian carefully observed the person's expression and saw that he did not seem to be lying. He was only saying this because he did not like him pretending to be a coward. Seeing that he had revealed some of his true nature, he felt very gratified and did not make things difficult for him anymore.

"For the sake of your filial piety, I will consider it." After saying that, Nan Gong Qian asked someone to take away the things on the table and turned around to leave.

After walking out of the pavilion, Nan Gong Qian saw that Xiao Bei did not follow him. He turned around again and said to Xiao Bei who was still kneeling in the pavilion, "However, you will serve me in the palace for the next few days."

"Yes." Xiao Bei knew that if he continued to be so hesitant, he might really get himself killed. Thinking about this, he agreed and decided to think about it later.

"Then hurry up and follow me!" Nan Gong Qian looked at Xiao Bei with interest. He got up in a fluster and ran to his side. He couldn't help but want to make fun of him. So he said half seriously and half falsely, "If you don't satisfy me in the next few days, I will make you the little eunuch of the Eastern Palace."

The last sentence was really threatening to Xiao Bei. However, when he saw the Crown Prince's eyes, he understood that the Crown Prince was probably just joking. The stone in his heart was finally put down, but his face was still filled with panic.

"I will definitely serve the Crown Prince well." Xiao Bei quickly expressed his sincerity, but his eyes, which were hidden under his eyelashes, were flickering, making people unable to guess his thoughts.

Nan Gong Qian glanced in Lin Ruo Yin's direction again. Seeing that she seemed to be fine, he then started to leave.

Although it was summer, it was still early. Furthermore, it was in the backyard surrounded by trees. A gust of wind blew past, and it was still a bit cold, not to mention Lin Ruo Yin, who had fallen into the water.

After Lin Ruo Yin was rescued, she had been trembling. Her teeth were chattering, but luckily, Mu Ling Wei had already asked someone to get her a cape. Now, she had it.

"First put her on the bed, then send her back to change her clothes, and then find a doctor to take a look at her." Mu Ling

Wei instructed the palace maids beside her.

Lin Ruo Yin looked at Mu Ling Wei gratefully and said softly, "Many... Many thanks, Miss Ling Wei."

Seeing that she was unable to speak coherently, Mu Ling Wei felt a wave of guilt in her heart. Knowing that she was not to blame for what happened today, she quickly told her to go back.

"Humph!" Lin Ruo Yun was dissatisfied and turned around to leave. However, before she could even take a step, she was pulled back by Mu Ling Wei. Seeing her angry face, she immediately restrained her temper.

Mu Ling Wei looked at Lin Ruo Yun and only said one sentence, "I will report this matter to the Queen."

Hearing that, Lin Ruo Yun immediately softened and begged, "Miss Ling Wei, this was just a small matter, not to mention that Lin Ruo Yin was in the wrong first. We were not wrong."

"That's right? She almost died! Lin Ruo Yun, aren't you too heartless? She is your sister after all." Mu Ling Wei shook off her hand and left.

Lin Ruo Yun hated Lin Ruo Yin even more.

Lin Ruo Yin was sent back to her room. Hong Mei He Lv Yu saw the wet Miss and were instantly stunned. Then, their eyes turned red.

"Miss, how did you end up like this?" Lv Yu's eyes were red. She was fine when she went out in the morning, but why did she come back like this?

Hong Mei was a bit more intelligent than Lv Yu. She knew that something must have happened in the backyard, but they couldn't say much about their mistress. They quickly sent Lv Yu to prepare hot water and ginger soup, then said to the two maids who had come back, "Thank you, two sisters. Thank you for your hard work. Hong Mei will make you a cup of hot tea now."

"No need. We still need to report back." The two maids handed Lin Ruo Yin to Hong Mei and turned to leave.

Although Lin Ruo Yin could not say anything, she could see what Hong Mei He Lv Yu had said and heard what she had said. She felt a little relieved. In her previous life, she, Lin Ruo Yin, was unable to protect Hong Mei He Lv Yu. In this life, she had given Hong Mei He Lv Yu a lot of advice. Therefore, she was very satisfied with Hong Mei's performance just now. As for Lv Yu, she was a few years younger than Hong Mei. After all, a child had a childish nature.

She would never allow the person she valued to leave her again.
