Li Yuebai’s heart was filled with alarm.
Chun Tao was very suspicious. She must be hiding a secret related to Shan Hengxin. If he missed it, he might lose the chance to defeat the Shan family. This time, he must snatch her away.
“System.” Li Yuebai asked, “Where are the servants taking Chun Tao?”
“Tingshui Pavilion.” The system replied.
Tingshui Pavilion was a building in the backyard of the Shan family. It was located in a remote location. Its windows faced a pond. It was a place used to punish servants. Even if there was any sound from there, it would not be heard in the crowded places of the Shan family’s home.
Li Yuebai’s heart tightened. He got up and left the table under the pretext of looking for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and went towards the direction of the garden.
The garden and Tingshui Pavilion were in two completely opposite directions. Concubine Hui saw him go to the garden through the curtain, she was relieved and did not ask any questions.
Night had fallen. The garden was quiet and no servants passed by. Li Yuebai walked through the deep path, pushed aside the pine branches, and searched all the way. As expected, he saw Murong Nan in the pavilion at the end of the garden.
“Your Highness.” Li Yuebai whispered and hurried forward.
The original owner was a musician, not a martial arts hero. No matter how good his musical skills were, he didn’t know martial arts. He was thin and weak, and his fighting ability was not even as good as his own in the real world. If he wanted to rescue Chun Tao, he had to ask His Highness for help.
“Huh?” Murong Nan turned around in surprise and looked at Li Yuebai. A glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes. He soon coughed lightly, pretending to be indifferent, and said in a deep voice: “Didn’t you say you couldn’t come?”
Li Yuebai was accustomed to His Highness’s arrogance. He was too lazy to argue and hurriedly said: “Help me.”
“What?” Murong Nan saw that his expression and tone were different from usual, and he couldn’t help but take it seriously.
Li Yuebai stepped forward cautiously, leaned close to Murong Nan’s ear, and whispered the matter.
Without time to explain the cause and effect, he only said that there was something strange about the maid Chun Tao, which was related to Concubine Hui and others, and now Concubine Hui was about to send someone to kill Chun Tao to silence her.
Before he could explain more, Murong Nan said, “Then let’s go quickly.”
“?” Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agreed so readily, Li Yuebai felt a little uncomfortable.
On second thought, it was also right. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew that Concubine Hui was an enemy, and he trusted him quite a lot. In addition, he was young and impulsive, so he would naturally agree.
“They took Chun Tao to Tingshui Pavilion.” Li Yuebai said, pointing to the water next to the pavilion, and said, “The pool outside the window of Tingshui Pavilion is connected to this place. If we want to avoid being seen, it’s best to swim from here.”
It was the beginning of spring, and the weather was gradually getting warmer. The ice on the water had long melted and it was possible to dive in.
However, the water was icy cold, and jumping in would only freeze people to death.
Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had just recovered from a serious illness…
“System.” Li Yuebai hurriedly asked for help from the system: “Is there any way?”
“Don’t worry, host.” The system said: “The system can help you and your teammate maintain your body temperature. This is a basic function for the system.”
The system’s big plug-ins could not be turned on, but there were still many small plug-ins, such as enhancing the appeal of music, enhancing the host’s vision and hearing… Maintaining body temperature was also one of the basic small plug-ins.
Li Yuebai was relieved. He looked up at Murong Nan, only to see that Murong Nan’s eyebrows were tightly knitted, and he seemed to be thinking about the same problem.
“I will go alone, you stay here.” Murong Nan said.
“…I can do it.” Li Yuebai hurriedly tried to fight for it.
It was too dangerous to go alone. It was safer to go with two people, not to mention that he was the one who knew the seriousness of the situation best.
Murong Nan still insisted, only to hear chaotic footsteps, as they saw several servants of the Shan family coming over with lanterns.
Not good.
Li Yuebai felt nervous.
If the servants of the Shan family saw him and the Crown Prince hiding here and whispering, he was afraid Concubine Hui and others would be suspicious.
In this way, Chun Tao would never be saved.
He had to think of a way quickly to hide it from others…
Li Yuebai closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of smiles when he looked at Murong Nan.
“Crown Prince,” Li Yuebai lowered his voice and said, “I’m sorry.”
His voice was originally gentle as water, but now it was lowered a little, with a different kind of sexy meaning.
Murong Nan’s pupils suddenly shrank.
Li Yuebai hardened his heart, stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and embraced Murong Nan’s neck. With a little force, he pulled Murong Nan down and then kissed Murong Nan gently on the cheek.
This was like a dragonfly touching the water, but it was also like a spark splashing into the hay field, igniting a raging fire.
Murong Nan’s face darkened, but he was still holding back.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Li Yuebai lowered his voice and said, “Someone is coming. Let’s just pretend…”
At this point, Murong Nan also understood.
After understanding, he didn’t have to endure so much.
He raised his eyebrows, stretched out his long arms, and embraced Li Yuebai in his arms, then holding him tightly, he skilfully lifted a lock of his black hair and played with it between his fingers.
When the servants of the Shan family came to patrol the pavilion at night, they saw such an indescribable scene.
They saw His Royal Highness holding the zither player in his arms, holding the zither player’s white and slender hand, kissing it on his lips, and they seemed to be mumbling some sweet words to each other…
The servants were stunned, and one even dropped the lantern in his hand.
The servants of a wealthy family naturally knew what Long Yang’s love for gay men was, but they didn’t expect His Royal Highness to be so bold as to disregard the royal family’s face in public…
Hearing the sound of the lantern falling to the ground, Murong Nan suddenly opened his eyes, and his sharp eyes pierced them.
“Your Highness… Your Highness!” The servants panicked and knelt on the ground, begging for forgiveness: “We didn’t know, we didn’t know Your Highness was here, please forgive us…”
“It’s okay.” Murong Nan pushed Li Yuebai away and said, “You are just doing routine work.”
He was not panicked at all, and looked high and aboveboard, as if he had not been doing anything lewd at all.
The servants breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly withdrew, leaving the whole garden for His Highness the Crown Prince, not daring to disturb him again.
“Okay.” Li Yuebai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the servants go far away.
“…” Murong Nan was still looking at him, as if he hadn’t kissed him enough.
“Do it at your own convenience, Your Highness, don’t mind.” Li Yuebai hurriedly explained, hiding far away while explaining.
