Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant

There’s Already Someone in My Arms (2)

No wonder Mo Linyuan was so supportive of this since the beginning! He wanted to use this opportunity to do a blood cleansing of the imperial court.

Who would’ve thought that these people who were selected at various levels for their talents were not actually suitable for their positions. They were now readily being replaced with new candidates. Ye Mu finally realized the truth. Seeing the risk they were taking, her hands started to become nervous with sweat. It would seem that tonight, only a few people will return safely for dinner.

Four hours later, miserable shrieks could still be heard in the woods. Mo Linyuan also killed quite a few people. His royal dragon robes were stained with blood, but to others he still resembled an elegant immortal fairy.

Just then, there were two people in hand-to-hand combat. As soon as one of them was killed by the other, Mo Linyuan swooped in to finish off the last man standing.

Very quickly, the originally murderous group of people all died together. Mo Linyuan started heading over to the one remaining individual and discovered that it was a lady.

This woman was dressed in black from head to toe. Her clothes were torn, exposing her snowy white skin underneath. It was difficult to hide her appealing physique. Under the tranquil moonlight, she raised her head to reveal a pair of extremely frightened and pitiful eyes. Even Ye Mu was moved by what she saw.

“I beg of you, please save me!”

This woman knelt next to the horse and extended her hands up towards the man on the horse who already had a little girl occupying his arms.

“Who are you?” Ye Mu demanded, “Weren’t all the ladies and children instructed to stay at the campsite? Why did you come out here?”

After hearing this, the lady trembled and whispered, “I… I’m Wen Xin, a daughter of the Wen family.”

After Mo Linyuan heard her identity, he abruptly started laughing. Wen Xin began to whimper, “Ow, my leg… My leg is broken. Could y-you… can you…” help her get on the horse was what she wanted to ask.

Hearing that this was Prime Minister Wen’s daughter, Mo Linyuan’s guards didn’t dare to approach her. After all, the status of the Prime Minister was different from others. Their thought was, why not let Mo Linyuan help her, and let Ye Mu ride by herself. But would Mo Linyuan be willing?

“Zi Xu.”

“Yes, Your Majesty?”

“I’ll leave this woman with you.”

Hearing this, Zi Xu felt uneasy. This lady’s clothes were in bad shape. If she rode on his horse, she would lose her reputation.

Wen Xin refused and quickly objected, “Your Majesty! I… I am the daughter of the Wen family!”

Mo Linyuan helplessly looked at her and replied, “But, there’s already someone in my arms!”

After saying this, he held Ye Mu even closer before turning away, refusing to look back at the woman.

Ye Mu’s eyes widened in realization before she asked, “That woman just now, was she trying to seduce you?”

Mo Linyuan muttered, “Maybe you aren’t too ignorant afterall.”

“Why would he tell her to do that?” If Wen Ze thought Mo Linyuan was his son, how can he make his own daughter seduce him?

Mo Linyuan replied, “The things I’ve done tonight have probably scared him.”

He smiled indifferently, “That lady is Wen Ze’s adopted daughter from a mistress, so she would only be considered as my cousin. If I had accepted her, he would be more at ease. Otherwise, he would definitely think that I’m targeting him next.”

“Then why didn’t you accept her?” Ye Mu asked fearfully. If this woman is that important, why wouldn’t Mo Linyuan accept her for the sake of stabilizing his relationship with the Wen family?

“Because I already have you in my arms,” Mo Linyuan smirked lightly. He asserted clearly with a bold spirit, “The bottom line is: I can recognize Wen Ze as my father, but I cannot let you suffer even for a little bit.”
