Li Yun was sipping the fragrant peach wine at his seat. He arrived here at the banquet with the protagonist earlier. He was calming his nerves because the crowned prince didn't eradicate the culprit who will poison his royal self later.

' He was really an idiot! He didn't believed me! I even presented the letter but he still ignored it! Ah!!!! I will fudge him to death when I died here later! '

The banquet composed of many powerful figures. It included themselves and their children. Currently, they were talking about how the crowned prince sucessfully won against the nearby nation's general with his strength and wise mind along with his soldiers and warriors.

Ling Xiao humbly smiled. He turned his gaze to Li Yun and their eyes met. Li Yun was the one who broke the eye contact first.

---[ Host, the poison was now poured on the crowned prince's drink! Save him! ]

Li Yan helplessly sighed. He sat beside the crowned prince and taked his poisoned drink from him with a pretext as a toast for him. The prince complied and seductively smiled.

Li Yun knew that Li Yan was the one who put it based on the story. Li Yan was very near to Ling Xiao's seat because he was his fiancé. He also had more chances to poison the prince's drink.

Who was the mastermind behind this?

Well, obviously, it was Ling Zhen. He had motives. The throne, Li Yan and envy to his older brother's achievements.
He even used Li Yan to achieved his dreams.

Li Yun drank the wine. He knew it was a slow acting poison and if it was combined with the wild game served at the table, it will caused death instantly.

' What a fatal combination. I will not eat this game even if it was very delicious. I don't want to die instantly. This way, I may prolonged my cheap life for four weeks. It was enough time for my mission to succeed. '

Li Yun returned to his seat and noticed the meaningful glances between Ling Zhen and Li Yan.

' Ling Xiao x Li Yan... Is this ship worthy to be mend?

Or I should made a new ship by myself.

Nah!!! It will just sink! '

Li Yan went outside the venue and Ling Xiao followed him.

Li Yun drank his peach wine leisurely while his eyes narrowed towards the door where the two people disappeared. Ling Zhen also stared at the door but he shifted his attention to the ladies attending him.

' What a fudging playboy! You two were really meant to each other!!! '

Li Yun excused himself from the disgusting banquet and strided toward the garden. A live show was occuring there right now. A live adaptation of 《Love and Loyalty》.

" Xiao Ge, I'm glad that you're alive and well! "

" En. "

Ling Xiao squinted his phoenix eyes. He sensed that someone was peeping at them.

" Xiao Ge, I can't wait to marry you! I really love you but Ling Zhen...he was eager to snatch me from you, Xiao Ge.]

Ling Xiao lazily nodded. He can't believed Li Yan confirmed his suspicions towards his own self.

" Don't worry, I'll protect you. "

Ling Xiao continued to be a leaf following the river's current as he gave Li Yan a gentle and loving gaze that was only reserved for a lover.

" Don't think about that , Your Highness. The heir to the throne was already you. Why bother Li Yan too? "
