Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant

Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant Chapter 336

Can’t Foretell Three Kinds of People (2)

Even if you wanted to speak nonsense to gain the favor of the public, you should do it in a reasonable way, right? Then and there saying that the emperor's cherished one* was about to die, are you not afraid they'd die sooner?!

*心尖肉(xīn jiān ròu) – a metaphor to say someone who's really important/most cherished and is held very very close to heart, literally “the meat of the heart’s apex”.

Ye Mu also started to frown, but quickly gestured to Mo Linyuan to keep calm because she remembered, the original owner of this body seemed to die at the age of 14 in the past.
If this person was able to see the original body's fate, then there really might be some meaning to this.

She asked the other party, “What is your name?”

That person clearly saw Mo Linyuan's anger, yet he wasn’t in the least afraid at all.
With an even more smug expression, he said, “This humble one* is Lin Zhizhao!”
*A humble way to say “I”

Ye Mu nodded her head.
“Then where did you see that I might die?”

“Mu-er!” Mo Linyuan's expression now was dark, extremely frightening! He looked at this person with an impudent mouth that called himself Lin Zhizhao and the group of trembling old men.
He couldn't control the murderous intent in his heart!

“Why waste your breath talking to these people? I can see that he's only trying to impress the public, talking nonsense! Why not drag them all down and behead them!”

After saying so, the kneeling people hurriedly cried for mercy! More people were saying that the one who tried to gain favor by uttering claptrap was Lin Zhizhao, it had nothing to do with them!

But Mo Linyuan, who was in a fit of rage, didn't care.
He thinks they're all in this together! Daring to go as far as cursing Xiao Mu to die, they should die first then!

In the midst of the mournful wails, only that Lin Zhizhao remained undaunted.
He looked as if he didn't see the imperial guards rushing in, and shouted out, “Your Majesty is wise, but now he's got such an evil face, having the appearance of a tyrant.
If things go on like this—not good, not good!”

Ancestor*, please don't speak anymore! This is definitely everyone's wish!

*祖宗(zǔ zong) = ancestor – in this context, it’s to say something like he’s young but he’s acting very impolitely as though he's older than all of them

Mo Linyuan laughed with rage.
“I’m a tyrant? That’s right! Somebody! Drag this person away for public execution!”

But Ye Mu steadfastly held him back, “Wait!”

Hearing her words, the imperial guards who were ready to arrest him stopped.

Mo Linyuan looked at Ye Mu, furrowing his eyebrows.
“Could it be that you believe his nonsense?”

Ye Mu heaved a sigh.
She spoke beside his ear, “It may not necessarily be nonsense because this body of mine originally should meet its death at this age.
This person is right.”

Mo Linyuan startled.
“So what's going to happen to you now?”

Ye Mu signaled him to keep calm, then said to everyone, “Except for Lin Zhizhao, the rest of you are repatriated from the palace.
Each and every one of you will be rewarded a hundred taels of gold as consolation.”

Those people originally thought they were about to lose their own lives.
Hearing Ye Mu say that and seeing no opposition from Mo Linyuan, everyone was overjoyed and repeatedly expressed their gratitude!

Being able to get their lives back was already a blessing, they didn’t expect to also be rewarded gold.
Everyone left with overwhelming gratitude but secretly swore in their hearts.

The palace is really too dangerous, they won’t come anymore! Never again!

Mo Linyuan still viewed Lin Zhizhao as an eyesore and left first, Ye Mu following closely behind.
She told a palace servant on one side, “Check this person carefully.
If there are no problems, bring him to the study.”

“Understood.” The servant gave a swift reply and instantly went to handle the matter.

Mo Linyuan, who returned to the chambers first, was seething.

Heaven knows, when he heard that person talking like that, he wished he could put him to death for good!

Unfortunately, Xiao Mu-er said he* was correct.
If everything he* said was true, then he**, then he**

*Lin Zhizhao
** Mo Linyuan

Then he’d better kill that person first!

It seemed as though killing him would solve the problem.
