Chapter 822: Escape (7)
"What are you doing here?" Lin Ziyin sneered at him, "Hot Springs Villa is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and the only exit is guarded by heavy troops. Isn’t the Second Prince being overly cautious?"
A look of embarrassment flashed across Alhatu’s face; Lin Ziyin had a point. Hot Springs Villa was bordered by mountains on three sides, and the only exit was guarded by his men. If Lin Ziyin wanted to escape, she’d need to grow wings.
"Guards, escort the lady out for a walk," Alhatu ordered coldly.
Lin Ziyin’s expression was unreadable, as if she completely ignored his favor.
"It’s because you are susceptible to the cold, so I fear you might freeze," Alhatu explained awkwardly, "I will accompany you..."
"No need." As soon as she heard he wanted to follow, Lin Ziyin’s face stiffened, "I just want to walk by myself. Having Tana and Bayan with me is enough."
She didn’t leave any room for Alhatu’s face-saving. But this was just like her character, Alhatu didn’t want to continue to displease her, and didn’t insist on following. However, he did arrange for a few more people to follow her.
The snow outside seemed to have lessened. Lin Ziyin left the courtyard and truly began to stroll around casually. Bayan and the others were on high alert, vigilantly following behind her.
