Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1385 Trap

"The princess has a simple mind, and I think the prince should know this better than anyone else." Prince Chujiang said meaningfully, "So when I took the princess away, I said it was on the prince's orders..."

"I know about this." Prince Rong'an interrupted Prince Chujiang impatiently, "Didn't you tell me about this a long time ago?"

"The princess just thought that the prince was doting on her, allowing his beloved daughter, who had never been out of the southeast, to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the capital without being confined to the royal posthouse and having her every move watched." Prince Chujiang spoke slowly, and Prince Rong'an had to suppress his temper and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Nothing." Prince Chujiang smiled even more. "I just want to say that the princess has made a lot of friends during the time she was away from you, and we will have to meet in the future. I hope your Highness will be accommodating."

"Asshole!" Prince Rong An was so angry that he waved his sleeves, "How dare you threaten me?"

"How dare I threaten Your Highness?" Prince Chujiang waved his hand. "As long as Your Highness cooperates, the princess's new friends will not appear again, unless the princess..."

"Rong'er will never see any friend with unknown origin again." Prince Rong'an snorted coldly, "Go back and tell your master that if he takes care of himself, I will cooperate. Otherwise, it will be a fight to the death, and no one will have a good life!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will report back to you word for word." Prince Chujiang bowed and clapped his hands. Soon, a sweet voice was heard, calling out "Father".

"Rong'er!" Prince Rong'an stepped forward quickly and grabbed the man's arm. "How are you? Have you suffered during these days out there?"

"No." The person shook her head and slightly opened her red lips, looking even more beautiful and charming. It was Princess Rong'an Li Rong.

Seeing this, King Chujiang left without saying a word, leaving only the father and daughter chatting about family matters and telling each other about what they had seen and heard in recent days.

Prince Rong'an gnashed his teeth at Prince Chujiang for abducting Li Rong, but at the same time he was afraid of exposing himself in front of Li Rong. His precious daughter had finally returned, and it would be bad if she was frightened.

So Prince Rong'an had to force a smile and listen to Li Rong saying that Prince Chujiang took her to many places to experience the prosperity of the capital. The more he listened, the more uncomfortable he felt. Finally, he used the excuse of being exhausted from too much work to go to rest first.

The maid pretending to be Li Rong was surprised to see her come back. She held her hand tightly and refused to let go. "Princess, you are back. I was so worried."

Another older maid glared at her fiercely, "The princess finally came back, how can you be so rude?"

"I..." The little maid timidly let go of her hand, "I'm just too happy."

"You go out and keep watch. I have something to say to the princess." The older maid looked a little more serious. Li Rong pulled her sleeve and said, "Sister Dan, I'm back now. Don't blame her."

"Whether it's the prince's intention or the princess's idea, if a personal maid can't stay with her master all the time, it's a capital crime." The maid called Sister Dan by Li Rong was named Liao Dan. She had a cold face and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you go quickly?"

The maidservant immediately ran out. Li Rong pursed her lips and called out in a flattering tone, "Sister Dan."

Liao Dan was not moved at all and broke free from Li Rong's hand that was pulling at her sleeve. "The princess is going to get married soon. You should stop being such a spoiled little girl, or you will make a fool of yourself in your husband's family."

Li Rong couldn't help but sigh. Liao Dan was the daughter of the nanny her mother married with as a dowry. Although she grew up with her, she was always a little stricter than the other maids, either because she was a few years older or because she was influenced by her mother's teachings since childhood. She was more like a little elder who was disciplining her.

"Is the princess angry with me?" Liao Dan softened her tone. Li Rong shook her head and said, "Of course not. I know Sister Dan has always been concerned about me. It's just that the matter of marriage..."

She didn't continue. Liao Dan frowned slightly, "Princess, are you thinking of going back on your word?" "How could that be?" Li Rong said hurriedly, "I'm not that ignorant, it's just..."

Liao Dan took a breath and said, "Does the princess have someone in her heart?"

"I..." Li Rong hesitated to speak. After a long while, she nodded gently with a shy look on her face.

"Princess, you are of such status, how can you..." Liao Dan was quite disappointed. Li Rong explained: "Sister Dan, the young man in my mind is not an ordinary citizen, he can be a princess."

The Minister of Rites came over upon hearing the voice. It was none other than Wang Quanrui, the younger brother of Wang Quanzhi, the head of the Wang family in the northern border and a favorite of the Empress Dowager.

Although his hearing and eyesight were not as sharp as Fang Zilan and Wei Mao's, fortunately he was not too far away and he overheard a little and knew the cause and effect.

"Master Fang, calm down." Wang Quanrui bowed and said, "The people below are not doing their job well, and these two generals are sorry for the trouble."

"Master Wang, you don't have to tell me these empty words. The festival is coming up soon. If something goes wrong, none of us can bear the consequences." Fang Zilan said coldly, "Master Wang, you'd better sort out the positions as soon as possible."

"Yes." Wang Quanrui stood up straight and shouted to the people beside him, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you take the two generals to their respective positions?"

Several people hesitated and dared not respond. Fang Zilan snorted coldly, "Are you so busy that you have forgotten your position?"

Upon hearing this, everyone took a deep breath. If something went wrong at this critical juncture, not only would they be dead, but their family members might also be implicated.

Fang Zilan glanced at them one by one and said sarcastically, "How ridiculous that there are so many people in your Ministry of Rites, but no one can remember the ranks of the two generals?"

Everyone in the Ministry of Rites was silent. Zhuge Yu came over without knowing when. "The ceremony will begin in a moment. Why don't you just stand in accordance with the color of court dress?"

"Boss..." As soon as Deputy General Cao opened his mouth, he heard someone say, "Don't worry, sirs. I still remember the positions."

Fang Zilan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xue Haoyu running over in a hurry. "Please forgive me, my humble servants. I was standing too far away, so I was unable to arrive in time."

Fang Zilan's expression eased a little, "Master Xue, stop talking nonsense, and help sort out the positions."

Xue Haoyu cleared his throat and read out the correct order. Only then did Fang Zilan realize that there was indeed a problem with Deputy General Cao's position and he had been moved back several places.

After everyone stood still as Xue Haoyu said, he bowed to everyone and ran back quickly. At the same time, the eunuch's voice sounded, and Li Shengxuan and Fang Ziqin arrived.

"Lord Fang, don't delay, go back quickly." Wei Mao looked at Fang Zilan, only to see her nod. The two of them tiptoed back to their original positions quickly.

Fang Zilan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately nothing was dangerous.
