The surrounding streets were a little quieter. Even though there was such a lively scene, the people coming and going did not stay. They all rushed home in the same way.

Within the capital and at the feet of the emperor, His Highness the Third Prince is able to act tyrannically. As long as it does not violate the laws of the dynasty, he can do whatever he wants and no one can afford to offend him.

Not only did the third prince become a coveted overlord in the streets of the capital, the butlers and servants in the third prince's house were also notorious on the streets.

Mu Yunxiao just listened quietly, and after hearing the name "Third Prince", he knew that the group of people outside were coming for him, and it was useless for him to hide it.

Such quick news...

He had just entered the capital for the first time, and the third prince came immediately upon hearing the news, so quickly that he had not yet thought of a way to deal with it.

Since the other party took the initiative to come over, Mu Yunxiao could only get off the carriage and deal with it. He couldn't let Ruan He deal with such a group of people alone.

The third prince came here deliberately to provoke, and naturally he received accurate information. He looked at Ruan He wantonly with a contented smile on his face, but in fact he did not forget to pay attention to the movements on the carriage.

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain on the carriage was opened. Aunt Zong took the lead in holding Mu Yuanyuan, lowered her eyebrows, walked down quietly and carefully, and stood aside.

She knew that this matter could not be solved by herself. She could leave it to Mu Yunxiao and Ruan He. All she had to do was protect Mu Yuanyuan.

Mu Yunxiao spontaneously walked out of the carriage and stood beside Ruan He. He glanced at the third prince calmly and bowed with his eyes lowered, neither humble nor arrogant.

The third prince raised his eyes and let out a particularly disdainful laugh. He stared at Mu Yunxiao with eyes full of ridicule and provocation. After a long while, he said sarcastically: "General Mu Da" , don’t you even recognize me when you come back from exile?”

He naturally knows that now that the Mu family is in decline, even if Mu Yunxiao is lucky enough to be pardoned and able to return to Beijing, he is just a commoner and has no capital to argue with him.

Thinking like this, the third prince couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and his gloomy brows became more and more arrogant.

From the clearly provocative and humiliating words of the third prince, Ruan He could probably understand that this man came to intercept the carriage on purpose just to embarrass Mu Yunxiao.

In the final analysis, Mu Yunxiao believed that he did not have any major conflicts with the third prince. It was just that he had declined his attempts to win over him before, which probably made the narrow-minded and pretentious third prince bear a grudge in his heart.

A gentleman has no intentions, but a villain harbors a grudge.

Even though the third prince was provoking him with words, Mu Yunxiao remained calm and composed, not talking to him, nor showing any signs of annoyance.

"Oops, I forgot. General Mu Da is no longer what he used to be. He is just an ordinary unruly citizen."

While the third prince was talking to himself, he saw that Mu Yunxiao's expression was normal, and his strange aura was as soft and weak as if he had been punched on cotton, which made a vicious annoyance seep out of his eyes.

Mu Yunxiao is now a poor and lowly commoner, but he still dares to show off like this in front of him! ?

"Ha!" He turned his head for a moment, and the butler who had been following him for many years immediately understood. He looked at Mu Yunxiao with a ferocious look, and shouted angrily: "The unruly carriage dared to collide with three people. Your Highness, how bold are you! Why don’t you kneel down and apologize?”

As he spoke, the butler's face trembled with annoyance, and he even tried to raise his whip to smite him. However, when he met Mu Yunxiao's eyes that were as cold as frost, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He came, but he didn't dare to take action rashly, he only dared to yell and humiliate.

Before Mu Yunxiao could react, the third prince seemed to have diverted his attention for a moment and turned to look at Ruan He beside him. He said sanctimoniously and hypocritically: "The girl next to General Mu is quite beautiful and refined. , I’ve never met before, why don’t you introduce me? Li Da, please speak lower, don’t scare people.”

The corners of Ruan He's lips pressed down again and again, and Qingli's brows couldn't help but feel coldness seeping out. Before she could even open her mouth to say the words "Third Prince".

Mu Yunxiao, who was beside him, heard the third prince's frivolous words, and a fierce evil aura suddenly rose up all over his body. His fingertips were already on the sharp sword beside him. As long as the third prince made a little careless words, he would not hesitate. Blame him for taking action.

On this trip back to the capital, Mu Yunxiao knew that he would be made difficult, secretly framed, or even let the men in black lurking in the capital have murderous intentions again. He had thought about how to deal with it. As for the third prince's frivolous words of humiliation and ridicule , he can accept it calmly.

The only thing he couldn't stand was when others thought about Ruan He. No matter which aspect he was thinking about, he could hardly suppress the murderous intention in his heart.

The warm and slender fingertips gently placed on Mu Yunxiao's hand barely calmed his sudden emotions.

Mu Yunxiao lowered his eyes slightly to calm down, then with a calm and hoarse voice, he introduced clearly:

"Your Highness the Third Prince, this is my wife Ruan He."

Mu Yunxiao specially emphasized the word "ma'am", which made the third prince look regretful, and he reluctantly looked back.

The regret in the third prince's heart turned into taunting Mu Yunxiao in the next moment, and he scolded me again: "The carriage rammed into me. Being disrespectful to the prince is considered a serious crime in this dynasty. Mu Yunxiao, why don't you kneel down and apologize!? What are you doing standing still?"

Before Mu Yunxiao could react, a slow male voice came from the side.

"I heard that Brother Three Emperors is causing trouble here, so I came here specially to have a look."

Hearing this familiar voice, the third prince suddenly showed an expression of undisguised disgust, but he had to turn his head and deal with the fifth prince in front of him.

"Lao Wu, why are you so nosy?"

The friendship between the fifth prince and Mu Yunxiao was carried out in secret. Very few people in the capital knew about it. The third prince did not know that the fifth prince came specifically to relieve the siege. He just thought that he was here to meddle in other people's business and look for opportunities to find faults so that he could be in trouble. Impeach yourself in court.

Perhaps it is because the third prince and the fifth prince are not born from the same mother. The fifth prince's appearance and temperament are completely different. His facial features are gentler, more similar to the docile temperament of his mother, Concubine De, and the corners of his lips are still bright when he speaks. With a calm smile, he is a person who is far more difficult to figure out than the arrogant and gloomy third prince.

Regardless of other things, just in terms of reputation in the capital, the gentle and virtuous fifth prince is much more popular with the people than the arrogant and domineering third prince. Even in the court, the fifth prince has more ministers. The third prince can have His current status is all due to the emperor's preference for this son. (End of chapter)
