The moment Ning Yue saw Third Prince's figure, he quickly changed his direction and kowtowed to Third Prince: "Third Prince, what this commoner said is the truth. My family's Young Master Xue was truly framed. The person who killed the father must have a malicious heart. Although Young Master Xue is usually taciturn and indifferent to others, he is kind-hearted.

Third Prince snorted, without saying anything, he walked towards the bedchamber. Ning Yue was still fearlessly kneeling on the ground, complaining loudly to Third Prince with an indignant expression.

Third Prince acted as if he did not hear him and was not interested in what he said at all. He was well aware of Mu Xueshi's grievances. Even though Third Prince didn't order the assassination of Mu Xueshi, Mu Xueshi didn't have the right to do it himself. Third Prince had already stopped caring about who was who. In the end, those people from the Grand Preceptor's Mansion and some eyesore in the palace would all die one by one.

After a while, Ning Yue's voice disappeared into the yard. Su Ruhan was unable to move an inch, so it was impossible for him to finish Ning Yue off himself. The guards that Su Ruhan usually ordered were now on high alert. If anything strange happened in the yard, it would be solved immediately.

Mu Xueshi closed his eyes and lay on the bed, trying his best to close them as he listened to the noises outside. He could vaguely hear the sounds of someone incriminating him, but he had no time to think about the specific reason. He was secretly beating the drum in his heart, hoping that this person could stall Third Prince and divert Third Prince's attention to buy time.

But even stalling for time was useless, right? Third Prince only got more agitated when he saw what was inside the house. Thinking about this, a few beads of sweat appeared on Mu Xueshi's forehead. He prayed that Third Prince would treat the things around him as if they were the people around him. Even if he saw them, he wouldn't care.

Third Prince slowly pushed open the door. The scene inside the room made him surprised for a moment, then he understood who was doing this. Mu Xueshi was the only person in the room, and a second person definitely would not come in. All of the servant girls stood outside, and without Third Prince's permission, they were not allowed to step into bedchamber.

Third Prince's footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Mu Xueshi's grip on the bed sheet was getting tighter and tighter. Third Prince couldn't help but smile as he looked at the curled up body and nervous face of Mu Xueshi. Sure enough, he still knew how to be afraid. Although they could be exchanged for another batch at any time, Mu Xueshi's naughtiness could not be easily forgiven.

"No one dares to mess with my house." Third Prince said lightly.

Mu Xueshi trembled and stretched his back on purpose. He rubbed his eyes and turned around. He revealed a bright smile towards Third Prince and said, "You're back. I just woke up!"

Mu Xueshi's long hair scattered around the pillow and the bed. His eyes, which had just opened, were still misty. There was a hint of confusion in his clear, teary eyes. He was as innocent as a newborn baby. His smile in the morning was more like a ray of sunlight that suddenly spilled into the room. It was bright and warm, like he had just woken up and was completely unaware of the inside of the house.

Third Princeying frowned slightly and looked at Mu Xueshi with a smile that was not a smile, showing his disdain for his childish behavior. It seemed that his situation did not change at all. He was still the same as yesterday, but the things he did became more and more amusing.

Seeing Third Prince's strange expression, Mu Xueshi felt even more uneasy. He quickly sat up, bowed towards Third Prince and said with a serious expression, "This humble one pays his respects to Third Prince. Good morning, Third Prince."

Seeing that Third Prince didn't have any intention to skip the formalities, Mu Xueshi felt that his waist couldn't take it anymore, so he treated it as Third Prince excusing himself, so he straightened his back as if it was a matter of course.

Third Prince shouted, "Kneel!"
