You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 174 - 10. Expel Guest Order_2
Therefore, the Twelfth Prince couldn’t possibly reveal his identity in front of everyone.
But attending the wedding banquet with such an excuse certainly meant he had some purpose, and it even drew the hostile Fourteenth Prince, as well as the Second Princess and the Fifth Prince.
"Nice name."
The Twelfth Prince smiled and nodded, "However, in Great Yong, there is only one noble family with the surname Mu. That family was exterminated years ago for defying the laws. You couldn’t possibly be from that family, could you?"
"What do you mean by that, Prince Cheng?" Lin Yue asked.
"Just making casual conversation."
The Twelfth Prince gave a slight smile and turned to look at Duke Heng in the Xuan Guang Pavilion, speaking gently, "Lord Qi, I came to attend your mansion’s wedding banquet and have also prepared a gift. Don’t say I’m stingy."
Immediately, an attendant behind him came forward with a half-open gift box, from which brilliant and radiant treasure light emerged, and a thick aura of spiritual objects filled the air.
Anyone could see that the gift was extremely valuable!
The many guests present were stunned.
Earlier, they thought perhaps the princes and princesses had come to discuss some matters with Duke Heng, simply using the wedding as an opportunity, unrelated to the actual event.
A prince attending the wedding empty-handed would already greatly honor the couple, something to boast about for a lifetime. Even if a gift was given, it was expected to be merely a ceremonial small one.
But...
Who would have thought he would present such a valuable treasure?
It didn’t seem like a simple visit to see Duke Heng, but more like... a celebration for the seemingly unremarkable Mu Yue?
Many guests couldn’t help but look towards Lin Yue.
Who exactly was this suddenly appearing Mu Yue that a prince would personally come to congratulate?
Even the Fifth Young Master from Lord Ming Yuan’s mansion could hardly believe it and could only comfort himself that the princes and princesses must be here for Duke Heng, merely using this as a way to pay respects...
Lin Yue took a deep breath.
He had guessed the meaning behind the Twelfth Prince’s arrival.
"Seventeenth brother, your identity as a prince can hardly be concealed now."
Lin Yue suddenly heard the Fourteenth Prince’s Divine Thought Transmission, "The Twelfth Prince has informed the Second Princess about the Tantian Sect and invited her to come and see; he also somehow drew in the Fifth Prince. I knew you couldn’t hide, so I came to prevent his subsequent actions."
So it was indeed the case... Lin Yue thought, confirming his speculation.
His origins were already unclear, and Duke Heng marrying off his daughter could have been passed off by claiming her to be a child of an old friend, through a finger-pointing marriage.
But now with four princes and a princess attending, bringing such valuable gifts, such grandeur, combined with the recent awakening phenomenon of the Prince Bloodline, the guests present could naturally guess he was a prince!
In this way, even if he did not admit it, it wouldn’t be long before Di Hong City spread the news that he was a prince.
Moreover, this wasn’t even against the rules.
The Twelfth Prince hadn’t targeted him personally, merely attending the wedding at Duke Heng’s mansion, and the Second Princess among others had also come.
Lin Yue had anticipated a similar scenario, and had specifically asked Duke Heng not to invite individuals from other prince mansions, only court officials and people from various Holy Lands.
However, who would have thought that the Twelfth Prince, a person of such high status, would disregard his own standing and personally attend such a humble wedding?
The cruelest part was...
If it were just the Twelfth Prince alone, Duke Heng could certainly stop him at the door, but with the Second Princess and the Fifth Prince added, Duke Heng definitely couldn’t stop them.
Lin Yue gathered his thoughts and bowed to the Twelfth Prince, "Thank you for your kindness, Prince Cheng, but I also have a question for Your Highness."
"Please ask."
The Twelfth Prince looked at him with a warm smile, his eyes gentle.
"Is today’s event not a commoner’s wedding?" Lin Yue asked.
"It is," the Twelfth Prince said.
"Being not a dependant son-in-law, do I have the right to decide on my own wedding?" Lin Yue asked again.
"Of course," the Twelfth Prince nodded.
"Did I ever invite Your Highness, Prince Cheng?" Lin Yue asked.
"No," the Twelfth Prince looked at him.
Lin Yue then slightly bowed and slowly said, "Since this is a commoner’s wedding and Your Highness was not invited, why then did you specifically come here? This commoner’s wedding does not welcome Your Highness, so please leave of your own accord."
The whole scene was silent, his voice echoing through the Island of the Lake Heart.
Nearly all the guests stared at Lin Yue in almost a stupor.
Could this man be insane?
After Prince Cheng had just given a significant gift, to talk to him in such a manner, and to issue a public eviction order so shamelessly?
It was outright humiliation!
Was he seeking death?
Unless this Mu Yue was...
"Insolence!"
A guard by the Twelfth Prince suddenly shouted angrily, stepping forward as a fearsome pressure burst forth.
New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.
Lin Yue didn’t move but just looked at the Twelfth Prince.
He knew the Twelfth Prince couldn’t do anything to him, so what if he was insolent?
Since it was destined to be exposed, why still cower?
The murderer of his grandfather still wanted to attend his wedding?
If the Twelfth Prince’s subordinates dared to act against him, it would be even better. By making this situation more notorious, there might be a chance to accuse the Twelfth Prince of breaking the rules with the help of the Fourteenth Prince.
Even if it didn’t work, it would still force the Twelfth Prince to leave immediately.
The Twelfth Prince also looked at Lin Yue.
He too understood Lin Yue’s implication.
Either leave or make a scene.
With a slight smile still lingering on his lips, the Twelfth Prince eyeballed his guard, calmly ordering, "Step back."
After the guard retreated, the Twelfth Prince finally spoke gently to Lin Yue, "Since you do not welcome me, I shall leave then."
