บท 257: Acting Out

Prince Rui arrived back at his manor and made a beeline for his room but then he suddenly heard Princess Nalan shout. Worried that they were under attack, he promptly changed directions, racing over. But then Prince Rui arrived at the garden to a scene that confused him.

"Nalan, how could you be so careless?!" Molin scolded as he moved Prince Yi's robes aside to see how deep the wound on his shoulder was. 

"He's the one who didn't move!" Princess Nalan defended as relief washed over her when she saw the wound was not deep.

"What is going on here?" Prince Rui asked with knit eyebrows as he walked towards the trio kneeling on the ground. Princess Nalan and Molin both froze and did not turn around as cold sweat formed on their foreheads. They knew they were in trouble now.
