170: Chapter 160 170: Chapter 160 “I’ll handle this matter; you arrange for someone to send these two back to the Imperial Palace.
The princess and her maid have slipped out secretly.
Before you send someone to take them back, send a message.
People in the palace may have already discovered the princess’s escape.”
“Young Master, it is true that we’ve heard news that the princess and her maid snuck out of the palace.
The king has sent people to search everywhere and even notified all the waypoints.
If there’s any news of the princess and her maid, our family clan has sent messages to all our contact points.”
“Alright, leave this matter to you.
Besides my mission, I have other affairs, and I’m taking my junior sister back first.
Inform me if anything arises.”
“Understood.”
Ye Tian gestured for Yan Weiwei to leave the room.
As they were about to turn and go, Long Feifeng, who had been silent until now, shouted loudly:
“Ye Tian, I won’t go back.
I want to follow you.”
“Princess, I’m afraid that’s not possible.
It’s difficult for a subject to comply with such a request.
The king has already sent people everywhere to look for you.
It would be best not to put your servant in a difficult position.”
“I don’t want to!
I don’t want to go back.”
“It’s not up to the princess.”
Ye Tian opened the door and left the room with Yan Weiwei, ignoring Long Feifeng’s shouting and yelling.
When Long Feifeng saw Ye Tian leave with that woman, she felt terrible seeing another woman beside him; it was not her.
Long Feifeng was always proud.
When had she ever felt so humiliated?
With angry eyes, she glared at the door, unwilling to be sent back just like that, she said to the shopkeeper standing by, “You…
let me go, and this princess will spare your life.
Otherwise, I will surely have you executed.”
Since entering the room, Long Feifeng had been placed on a chair by her maid, and now she viciously glared at the standing shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper, not at all affected, said to her with a smile, “Although I am but a subordinate, I do hold an official position.
If the princess wishes for sudden death, I would need evidence and a reason.
I am protecting the princess, and I believe the king will reward me for it.”
“You…”
Long Feifeng was so frustrated that she could not speak; she could only move her mouth, unable to move her body; she could only curse verbally, never expecting an ordinary shopkeeper to dare to treat her with such an attitude.
The shopkeeper ignored Long Feifeng, instructing the maid to carry Long Feifeng.
They left the shop through a secret passageway outside the city walls and secretly arranged for the princess to be returned to the palace.
Long Feifeng was restrained the whole time and was sent back to the Imperial Palace a day later.
“Feng’er, how reckless of you.
Do you know how dangerous it was?”
After Long Feifeng was brought back to the palace, she had just entered her boudoir when the Empress and the King came in to scold her.
“Father, Mother, if you hadn’t been searching for me, I could have stayed outside with General Ye Tian.
It would have been so good with him to protect me.”
Long Feifeng had been stifling her frustration all day, taking it out on the maids to vent, unable to do anything else.
Even after returning to her boudoir, she still couldn’t move.
“Ye Tian had a mission to go on; how could he protect you?”
“Hmph, he has a woman by his side.
He can protect that woman, so why can’t he protect me, a princess?”
“Feng’er, what do you mean by that?”
“It’s that General Ye Tian and his junior sister are always together, so cozy with each other, and they have to participate in some competition?”
“General Ye Tian is using a concealed identity; he has his duties.
You should stop causing trouble.”
“Father, hurry up and release me from this restriction.”
“No, you must stay inside the palace obediently.”
“Father, how can you do this?
Mother, please have someone release me.”
The Empress shook her head and said, “Listen to your father; don’t think about slipping out of the palace again.”
