Third Prince pushed the door open and walked out. Su Ruhan and a man knelt outside Third Prince's door. There was a clear wound on the man's neck. He lowered his head slightly. Third Prince used a book scroll to lift up the man's chin. The face turned out to be a gentle looking teenager who was about the same age as Wu Tie.

"Reporting to Third Prince, that person is a servant of Grand Preceptor's Mansion, his name is Ning Yue. From the time I was sent into Grand Preceptor's Mansion to be Mu Xueshi's personal guard until the moment I was imprisoned. " Su Ruhan replied with a serious expression.

When Third Princeson heard the word 'Mu Xueshi', his body froze. Ignoring his own situation, he turned to Third Prince and said, "Third Prince, this commoner has the gall to barge into this Yi Yi Yuan Courtyard in order to meet with Third Prince and demand justice for our Young Master Xue. "Young Master Xue feared the Grand Preceptor since he was young, so there was no way he could harm him. I hope Third Prince can observe everything clearly!"

Ning Yue's expression was indignant as he said that. He kowtowed three times towards Third Prince, and when he looked up, blood was already seeping out from his forehead.

Third Prince acted as if he didn't hear anything, and looked straight at Su Ruhan. Su Ruhan's expression was indifferent, and he didn't say a word. When he met Third Prince's gaze, the sword that had followed him for twenty years was already broken into two, lying on the ground not far away.

"What does Your Highness mean?" It was the first time that Su Ruhan took the initiative to ask Third Prince a question. After eighteen years of following Third Prince, the conversation between Su Ruhan and Third Prince was less than ten times.

Third Prince had previously chosen Su Ruhan as his personal bodyguard because he valued him for his silence and for his steadiness and decisiveness. As long as Third Prince gave him a glance, he would immediately follow Third Prince's instructions. But just now, when Su Ruhan brandished his sword to end his own life, he was stopped by Third Prince. Su Ruhan did not understand why Third Prince wanted to keep his life.

Third Prince was expressionless. He strode towards the Gao Wang Ting not far away while Su Ruhan followed behind Third Prince. Ning Yue's legs and arms were tightly bound, and he was unable to move an inch. He could only kneel outside Third Prince's bedchamber with a face full of indignation.

Ning Yue seemed to think that Mu Xueshi was still working in the distribution area as a heavy soldier. When Ning Yue thought of how his upright master had been framed like this, he could not rest in peace. Since childhood follow Mu Xueshi, only Ning Yue understands Mu Xueshi's temperament.

Mu Xueshi was viewed as an unfilial son since he was young because of his face. When he heard that the midwife and the Grand Preceptor were both by Mu Xueshi's side when he was born, the midwife took a look at his face and committed suicide by cutting her own throat in front of the bed, but the Grand Preceptor didn't step into this room again.

The prettiest man in the world, who had overturned several people, had given birth to such an ugly son. It was simply a misfortune for his family. Mu Xueshi grew up in the crowd, he was eccentric, cold towards others, and only Ning Yue was allowed to stay by his side. It was for this reason that Ning Yue considered Mu Xueshi to be the only confidant in his life. Although Mu Xueshi's face was ugly, Ning Yue had always admired him from the bottom of his heart.

Gao Wang Pavilion was located on a fake mountain in Third Prince's courtyard. It was surrounded by a purple bamboo forest, and the pavilion was also made from purple bamboo. Its structure was simple and unadorned. From afar, the pavilion was one with the surrounding scenery. If one did not look carefully, it was impossible to find the pavilion within the pavilion.

After Third Prince stood still, Su Ruhan directly knelt in front of him without a trace of emotion on his face. At this moment, he only needed to wait for Third Prince to finish his words. Whatever Third Prince wanted him to do, Su Ruhan definitely wouldn't even bat an eyelid.

"Is Ning Yue's infiltration into Qinyi Courtyard really caused by your bad bodyguards?"

Hearing this, a hint of emotion finally appeared on Su Ruhan's sharp face. He should have known better. What could escape Third Prince's eyes? As for him, he was just a tool for Third Prince. His decision to stay or not depended solely on Third Prince's mood.
