Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Shut up! Can you all even touch him? Don’t cause trouble for me!” Qi Tianyou regained his dignity in front of his subordinates.
Only in front of Feng Tianlan would he appear submissive, but on regular days, he carried an air of authority and grandeur.
The masked royal guardss immediately lowered their heads, not daring to speak further.
Another masked royal guard asked, “Your Highness, he just asked you to get engaged in a day and married in three days. Are you really going to do as he says?”
Qi Tianyou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and pondered what Feng Tianlan had just said.
Engaged in a day and married in three days?
Qingluan had already dragged him away. Maybe he didn’t need to follow Prince Lan’s words?
But what if Prince Lan didn’t retract his statement?
If he didn’t obey, would Prince Lan really come to kill him?
After careful consideration, Qi Tianyou decided it was better to find out what Prince Lan meant.
So, he sent the inquiring masked royal guard to the Jun Residence to seek advice from Gu Qingluan.
“Remember, don’t let Prince Lan find out. If you accidentally get caught, you can say… you can say…” Qi Tianyou couldn’t think of an excuse for a moment.
The clever masked royal guard said, “Your subordinate will say that I wanted to request medicine from the Guardian Princess.”
Now, everyone knew that Gu Qingluan was highly skilled in medicine and had a close relationship with the Island of No Return.
This reason was acceptable.
Qi Tianyou nodded approvingly, “Good, that’s the plan. If you succeed, there will be a generous reward when you return.”
The royal guard, concealed behind a mask, had a subtle hint of delight in his eyes, visible through the dark veil that covered his face.”Yes, Your Highness, I’ll take my leave.”
On the other side, Gu Qingluan led Feng Tianlan through several streets, making sure that Qi Tianyou wouldn’t be able to catch up with them. She wanted to let go of his hand now, but it didn’t feel right.
However, at this moment, she couldn’t bring herself to release his hand.
Feng Tianlan firmly held her hand, his gaze deep and meaningful. “You were pulling my hand so desperately just now, and now you want to let go so soon?”
Gu Qingluan twitched the corner of her mouth.
What did he mean by pulling his hand desperately?
He made it sound like she was a scoundrel who abandoned someone after leading them on.
Besides, didn’t he know why she pulled him?
Who would force someone into marriage like this?
Moreover, he was the crown prince of the nation.
No matter how powerful he was, he shouldn’t act so domineering, right?
It was truly exasperating.
If it weren’t for her involvement, she wouldn’t have bothered with him.
Of course, she understood that reasoning with him wouldn’t work.
If he were reasonable, he wouldn’t have resorted to forcing the crown prince into marriage.
She had to lower her voice and said, “Is it appropriate of you to keep dragging me in public?”
Feng Tianlan raised an eyebrow, a cold smirk on his lips. “Inappropriate? Who dares to question it?”
He raised his head and cast a chilling gaze around.
Currently, Gu Qingluan was well-known in Tianjing City, and many people recognized her.
Some people, whose lives she had saved, had even commissioned artists to create portraits of her and started worshipping her.
As a result, this had become a trend, and many people followed suit in paying their respects to her portrait.
There were quite a few who knew her face.
Under the intimidating gaze of Feng Tianlan, those who had been watching the two of them turned pale.
However, it was this gaze that prompted some brave souls to step forward. One of them couldn’t help but speak, “Guardian Princess, are you being held hostage? If you are, just shout, and we’ll rescue you!”
With Feng Tianlan’s increasingly dark expression, that person bravely finished his sentence.
The pedestrians around them were observing them with a sense of indifference.
Upon hearing the words of that passerby, they all nodded in agreement.
This was a scene that Gu Qingluan had never anticipated.
She couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Feng Tianlan’s face turned completely sour.
Worried that this guy might lose his temper and do something to these ordinary people, Gu Qingluan shook her head, reassuring the man who had spoken that she was fine and asking him not to worry.
“But 1 see that you don’t seem too willing to be dragged by him. Isn’t he forcing you and taking advantage of you?”
He looked worried and lowered his head to examine Gu Qingluan’s hand, which was tightly held.
Her hand had turned red.
It was evident that he had used a lot of force., the Guardian Princess couldn’t possibly be held hostage by this man, right?
