  Chapter Five

  "Now that the king is still here, do you want to kill someone in front of him? You've already killed so many people, do you still want to kill a servant girl in front of everyone?" Chen Yao said in a low voice.

  "Who did I kill? If Miss Chen has evidence, why would she make something out of nothing here? Everything is just a rumor. If it were true, anyone at the scene could report to the authorities. Since you are slandering me and trying to tarnish my reputation, I might as well take this matter to court, making a big fuss about it so that everyone in the world knows!" Mu Rong Yi let out a cold laugh, then a breathtakingly beautiful smile spread across her face as she spoke sternly.

  "Yes, everything is a rumor. Several of Gong Lin's concubines died for unknown reasons, and then everyone pointed their fingers at Mu Rong Yi. No one questioned it, they just believed it, and all sorts of rumors that were unfavorable to Mu Rong Yi spread throughout the entire Wang Yue country in the fastest speed. But not a single person reported it to the authorities. What does this show? Without any evidence, they dare to be so arrogant. This body is too weak! And Chen Yao and others, aren't they taking advantage of this body's weakness to do as they please?"

  But what this body overlooked was that as the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's estate, with such a noble status, she didn't know how to make good use of it and counterattack!

  Chen Yao, merely the daughter of a deputy general, relied on her few talents and the favor of Gong Yu to render this body completely defenseless. It must be said that pitiful people inevitably have detestable aspects.

  Chen Yao's face turned pale, and even Gong Lin, who had been silent with a hint of suspicion, felt surprised. Could it be that those things weren't done by Murong Yi? If it was really her doing, how dare she want to make this matter known to the whole world, even to the authorities? If it were to reach the authorities, there would definitely be consequences. He furrowed his brow tightly and stared at Murong Yi, wondering if he had misunderstood her.

  The people around the small pavilion did not dare to speak much, fearing that they would bring trouble upon themselves. The main thing was that they felt the princess had changed! It seemed that the previous vicious rumors were all false, and now thinking carefully, the princess usually treated these servants with a gentle smile, without any harsh demands, how could there be such a big change today? It made people feel a thread of fear.

  "Speak!" Murong Yi's gaze was cold and stern as she stared at the maid, without a hint of sympathy in her eyes.

  The maid burst into loud wailing, and in that instant, she felt an unprecedented fear, because she really felt the approach of death. No one was clearer than her that the princess had just tried to take her life!

  She was just about to speak when she suddenly collided with Chen Yao's warning gaze, and she desperately closed her eyes. Indeed, one cannot be greedy for wealth, nor can they lack a conscience. When she opened her eyes again, she raised her head and looked at Murong Yi with an expressionless face: "It was the slave who was temporarily blinded by both eyes, and has been secretly resentful of the princess. If the princess had continued to help the slave's family later on, the slave would not have spoken out today to slander the princess."

  "Oh heavens!"

  "What? It's actually her who wants to slander the princess, but the princess didn't even have an affair with anyone."

  Murong Yilong sneered, "Oh?" Chen Yao must have controlled this girl's family in his hands, what a great move! How ruthless! Just as she wanted to continue questioning and even escalate the situation, she suddenly felt a surge of energy flowing inside her body. The piercing coldness and heart-wrenching pain instantly seized her sanity and drained her strength.

  What's going on?

  A thin layer of cold sweat gradually seeped out on her fair and smooth forehead, she only slightly furrowed her brow, silently crying out "not good!"

  A pair of small hands gently grasped her icy hand, and the sparkling big eyes like grapes flickered with anxiety and worry. "Mom, what's wrong?" "Mom..."

  Listening to that worried soft voice, Murong Yi smiled slightly and tightly grasped his small hand, softly laughing: "Tian'er, mother is taking you away, okay?"

  Tian'er nodded, "Mother, no matter where you go, Tian'er will follow you." He also wanted to grow up and be filial to his mother, not letting anyone harm her.

  Murong Yi's mouth corners rose, her smile warm and enchanting. It was precisely this smile that concealed her gradually pale complexion, as well as the slight trembling of her left hand due to endurance. Ignoring the strange gazes of the crowd, Murong Yi took Tian'er away just as they were about to leave.

  "You can't leave!" Gong Lian suddenly shouted.

  With this sudden disturbance, several attendants immediately blocked Mu Rong Yi's path.

  Chen Yao was shocked by Murong Yi's sudden release, and then she heard Gong Ling's command. She was greatly surprised. Had Gong Ling changed his mind? Was it because of Murong Yi's sudden change just now? Or was it because the adultery had been exposed, and Gong Ling felt guilty towards Murong Yi? She walked forward, wrapped her arms around Gong Ling's arm, and said softly: "Since the king has already divorced Miss Murong, then Miss Murong must leave."

  Murong Yi's eyes were deep and dark clouds rolled in.

  "Murong Yi, you can't leave! I absolutely won't allow it." Gong Ling pushed away Chen Yao's hand and walked towards Murong Yi, standing behind her and gazing at the alluring back of Murong Yi. Suddenly, he clearly understood that her coldness towards him earlier was not fake. So everything she had done in these few years was to make him disgusted with her? This woman had wanted to leave him long ago? A feeling of being deceived filled his heart.

  He had never forgotten that Murong Yixue was a stunning beauty who captivated the world, but back then she had a special affection for him and used every means to marry him. He despised her methods, and even more so in recent years when she transformed herself into someone else. However, today, seeing her no longer hiding, even the charm and allure in her every gesture seemed unfamiliar.

  He was deceived!

  Now that he's been deceived, how can he let her leave! Besides, she is still his woman.

  "Prince Wang?" Chen Yao's face turned pale, things had already reached this point, everything was going according to her plan, but in the end, Gong Feng had written a divorce letter and Mu Rong Yi had resigned herself to it, but then Gong Feng changed his mind!

  Everyone stared with wide eyes, Prince Wang had already divorced Princess Wang, why didn't he let her go again?

  Chen Yao quickly commanded herself to calm down, with a polite smile on her face, and softly said to Gong Wang: "Your Highness doesn't want Miss Murong to take away the young master, is that right?" Since the adultery didn't succeed, then the young master's identity was no longer in question. Although she wanted to get rid of both the young master and Murong Yi together, but now that things had changed, as long as she could make Murong Yi leave, she would have many ways to quietly get rid of the young master later on.

  "No, I won't let Murong Yi leave, nor will I allow her to take my child away." Gong Ling's eyes locked onto Murong Yi as he spoke in a low tone.

  At these words, Chen Yao's body swayed slightly.

  Murong Yi slowly turned around, her eyes coldly staring at Gong Ling.
