Chapter 487 The Man Who Set Up the Game

It was still early when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came out of the Ministry of Justice. Thinking of his Concubine Xia's visit to the Imperial Observatory, he decided to go to the Observatory in person.

So after two cups of tea, he sat opposite the director of the Imperial Observatory and listened to Director Liu telling him about what happened when Concubine Xia came here yesterday.

Liu Jianzheng spoke very carefully, he explained every word of Concubine Xia and even the changes in her facial expressions clearly.

Mu Yunting listened quietly with no expression on his face.

When Liu Jianzheng said that the wedding day was the most prosperous day for Xun Zheng, her eyelids twitched slightly.

The source of someone's unhappiness has been found.

Mu Yunting was a little happy, because this meant that someone was jealous of him.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got into the carriage happily and urged to return home quickly.

The New Year is coming soon, and the imperial city is extremely lively. The main streets are crowded with cars and people, and the shops are doing brisk business.

The carriage would definitely go slowly here, and since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in a hurry to return home, the coachman had to find a slightly quieter road.

The road was smooth at first, but as we walked along, many vendors appeared in front of us, which was very strange, because normally no one set up stalls on this road.

In line with the principle of safety, Zhang Shun wanted to turn around in front, but as soon as the carriage turned sideways, he stopped because a group of vendors had arrived on the same road and blocked the road.

"Your Highness, something doesn't seem right."

Hearing this, Mu Yunting opened the car window a little and looked out.

"There are suddenly many vendors on this road, and they have blocked our way back."

Zhang Shun explained.

Mu Yunting frowned. This was the imperial city, and it was broad daylight. Would anyone dare to assassinate him?

"No need to turn around, just keep going forward."

He wanted to see who had such courage.

Upon receiving the order, Zhang Shun readjusted his horse's head without any hesitation and headed straight for the group of vendors in front.

The wheels of the carriage made a rumbling sound as they rolled over the bluestone road. The crowded street looked crowded but was eerily quiet.

Zhang Shun was an excellent driver, he drove the carriage steadily, and soon the carriage drove into the encirclement of the hawkers.

Mu Yunting secretly gathered his strength in the carriage. No matter who was going to assassinate him, he would catch him today.

Just as everyone was concentrating on the current situation, a man and a horse came running towards them from the end of the long street.

Mu Yunting in the carriage and Zhang Shun, the driver, frowned at the same time.

Mu Yunting was sitting in the carriage and couldn't see the situation outside, but he could hear that there was only one horse.

Something is wrong. These street vendors look strong but they are not masters. It's okay for them to surround the carriage, but if they want to assassinate him, it's impossible for these people alone. There must be a master behind them.

But only one person came. Isn’t this person too arrogant? Does he have the skills like Ye Yin?

If that's true, then we're in big trouble today.

Compared with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Zhang Shun's frown was much simpler. He recognized the man. Although he was just a coachman, he was the coachman of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so naturally his experience was different.

He knew everyone in the imperial city who had any connection with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The person who came on horseback was Princess Mochizuki, who was determined to marry into the prince's mansion.

I heard that because of this person, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took down the sign of Wangyue Tower, but later put it back up for some unknown reason.

This princess is a great beauty, her appearance is not inferior to the two concubines in the palace, and she is not inferior to the soon-to-be-married principal wife.

I just don't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like her.

Princess Wangyue came at a wrong time today. Something doesn't seem right at the sight of this scene. If a fight really breaks out soon, Your Highness, do you want to protect her? If you do, it will be a story of a hero saving a beauty. But if you don't protect her, it won't work either. It would be unacceptable to let her get into trouble in the imperial city of Nanzhao Kingdom.

This woman is such trouble!

The master and servant's thoughts flashed for a moment, and Princess Mochizuki urged her fine BMW horse to the "encirclement" of the carriages.

She dismounted, pushed through the crowd and was about to walk towards the carriage, when suddenly a hand from the crowd rested on her shoulder.

"What a beautiful young lady!"

The man laughed and was about to touch Princess Mochizuki's cheek.

The princess was horrified, and quickly took two steps back, shouting, "Get out of here."

"Oh, it's still a little pepper, very flavorful, I like it."

The man licked his lips, took a step forward, put his arms around Princess Mochizuki's shoulders, and prepared to flirt with her.

Princess Mochizuki screamed and shouted "Help" repeatedly at the carriage.

Zhang Shun was stunned. He had never seen such a crude trick before and he didn't know if the Crown Prince could withstand it.

Hearing the cry for help, Mu Yunting could no longer sit still. No matter if it was a trick or not, he had to find out what was going on.

The heavy curtains were lifted, and the Crown Prince's graceful figure appeared in everyone's sight the next moment.

Most of these people were seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the first time, and their eyes were immediately drawn to him. Even Princess Mochizuki, who had been busy calling for help, was stunned for a moment.

Mu Yunting looked down at these people. He was tall and standing on the shaft of the cart, which gave people a strong sense of oppression.

"Who is it? Let Princess Mochizuki go."

Mu Yunting angrily scolded the man who pulled Princess Wangyue.

The man was so scared that he quickly let go of his hand and his whole body was shaking.

At this time, Princess Wangyue also came to her senses, and rushed to Mu Yunting's carriage, crying, "Your Highness, help me."

Mu Yunting frowned slightly, his eyes passed over Princess Wangyue and fell on the man who was trembling like a sieve. He didn't say a word, but his meaning was very clear: He is so scared, do you still need me to save you?

Princess Mochizuki seemed to have noticed this problem as well, and was embarrassed for a moment, but she pursed her lips and her expression became firm, then her eyes turned red and tears began to fall.

Mu Yunting was standing high up, looking at the frightened man, and did not notice Princess Wangyue's miraculous operation. However, the coachman Zhang Shun was sitting on the shaft of the carriage, less than ten feet away from Princess Wangyue, and could see her operation clearly. His calm face seemed to crack, with a clear distinction between surprise and the calmness he tried hard to maintain.

"Your Highness, I'm so scared, can you take me back?"

Finally, Princess Mochizuki made her request.

It is obvious that this is a trap, but the person who set it up is just clumsy.

But even so, Mu Yunting couldn't really leave Princess Wangyue here and leave her alone. What if there were people here who were not good for her? The consequences would be disastrous. Although this situation was unlikely to happen, it was better to be safe than sorry.

So, Mu Yunting agreed to Princess Wangyue's request and let her get on his carriage.
