Chapter 812: Chapter 812: Connection (4)

"Qiqige," just as she was about to get on the carriage, someone suddenly called out the name of the sixth Princess.

Qiqige didn’t turn around, yet inwardly she complained bitterly, the plague god had arrived.

However, the newcomer didn’t allow her to ignore him, "Is my esteemed eldest brother also here to dine?"

Turning around with a smile blooming like flowers, the sixth Princess indeed had the charm to grace all quarters.

"Ran into Timur, was just about to go inside. It looks like you’ve just finished eating?" Brukan’s eyes were extremely sharp, and as he spoke, he had already approached Lin Ziyin.

"Who is this beauty?" Looking at Lin Ziyin dressed in North Country attire, he actually extended his hand toward her as he asked.

Maya hadn’t had the chance to leave yet, and witnessing this scene, her heart immediately swelled with vindictive pleasure.

Lin Ziyin was no fool; she certainly wasn’t going to stand there stupidly and let Brukan toy with her. When Brukan gave her a malevolent look, she had already quietly stepped back, positioning herself between Bayan and Tana.

Even wounded, Bayan was still a fierce tiger.

His duty was to protect Lin Ziyin at the risk of his life. The moment Brukan reached out, Bayan’s hand shot out as well.

Brukan’s frivolous smile instantly froze, his gaze toward Bayan now filled with venomous malignance. For Bayan’s action was a grave disrespect toward him.

"How dare you show such insolence," Brukan looked coldly at Bayan.

Bayan said nothing, just stubbornly met his gaze, not showing the slightest sign of yielding.

The situation was somewhat embarrassing for Timur, who, in his heart, cursed Brukan half to death.

"So this is the courtesy of the North Country." Protected by Bayan, Lin Ziyin immediately scoffed at Brukan, "This consort has certainly broadened her horizons."

"Consort? From which residence are you a consort?" Brukan asked with a sinister stare, his tone aggressive, "Are you a woman of the Alhatu Residence? I hear you are currently in favor."

Hearing this, Maya was furious, tempted to confront him but then retracted the step she had taken.

Brukan was a madman, with a heavy penchant for revenge. If she approached now, she might very well become collateral. After all, Brukan had always coveted her, intent on making her a consort in the Crown Prince’s Residence.

Not the least tempted by Brukan—even if he offered her the position of principal wife—she wouldn’t have accepted.

It wasn’t worth it for her to get involved because of someone unrelated. Without hesitation, Maya quickly departed with her maid, leaving Kashen behind.

The sixth Princess was also furious. Even if Lin Ziyin was not the wife of the Prince of Ling from the Northern Land, Brukan’s behavior was an affront to her, given that the person was someone she had brought out. "Brukan, what is the meaning of this?"

"I am Chu Suifeng’s woman, the consort of the Northern Land. Do you not know? Or are you feigning ignorance, nothing more than that for the elder prince of the North Country?" Lin Ziyin said, scoffing, fearlessly declaring her identity.

She was gambling, and she was completely confident in her bet; after revealing her identity, Brukan surely would not dare to harm her directly, right?

Indeed, Brukan hadn’t anticipated her to reveal her identity.

The onlookers hearing this showed looks of hatred toward Lin Ziyin, but their expressions quickly shifted to ones of complicated anticipation.

Timur inwardly sighed, Brukan had truly brought humiliation upon himself; Lin Ziyin was now a distinguished guest recognized by the emperor. In front of Lin Ziyin, Brukan could only put on airs but could do nothing against her.

The consort of the Prince of Ling revealing her identity on the streets had indeed put Brukan in a difficult position. The day’s events would inevitably implicate him. He sighed and then looked at the sixth Princess, "It was all just a misunderstanding. Elder Prince, let us go inside to eat."
