Chapter 700 Return
"Prince Jun, we are following your orders--"
The officer tried hard to explain himself clearly, but the invisible pressure on him became heavier and heavier. He felt as if his back was being crushed. He could not even lift his head. He could not speak at all and even spoke with a stutter.
boom.
He lay flat on his stomach, how could he explain himself clearly?
When the others saw him like this, their hearts trembled, and the little courage they had left was completely drained away because of fear.
Prince Jun is so powerful, so we can’t blame them, right?
They are all no match for Prince Jun. If the emperor knew about it, he couldn't put the blame on them.
Prince Jun's carriage drove into the city gate right in front of them, and the Dragon Shadow Guards stood guard around and followed closely, so no one could get close.
The common people on the road saw such a grand scene and quickly moved out of the way, watching Prince Jun's carriage passing by with lingering fear.
"This is Prince Jun returning to the capital."
"Those people are Dragon Shadow Guards, right? The Dragon Shadow Guards have such a terrifying aura."
"It's really scary. Does Prince Jun know that everyone is talking about his face? Don't dare to say it again in the future, or you will be caught by the Dragon Shadow Guards, right?"
The people all began to discuss the matter quietly, but they did not dare to act as recklessly as before.
The emperor had deliberately condoned this before, and even sent people to fan the flames everywhere, so people all over the capital were saying that Prince Jun's appearance was ruined, which was very scary.
Everyone has said it so much that it has become a habit, and some have even turned it into a catchphrase.
But now that Prince Jun has returned, he has brought with him the Dragon Shadow Guards, and his imposing presence makes everyone feel a little scared, and they all go to tell their family members to be careful with what they say in the future.
Only when Prince Jun's carriage and the Dragon Shadow Guards were no longer visible did the officials at the city gate breathe a sigh of relief.
There were even people who, after being extremely tense, suddenly relaxed and felt their bodies become weak, collapsing to the ground and unable to stand up.
"My Lord, what should I do——"
The deputy general asked the commander, "How are they going to explain this to the emperor now?"
"We can only go and report the truth to the Emperor." The commander's clothes were damp with sweat.
He felt terrified. He had never thought that Prince Jun's internal strength was so amazing! When he was suppressed by the internal strength just now, he broke out in a cold sweat, as if he had stepped into the gates of hell.
He was sure that if Prince Jun wanted to kill them, it would be easy as pie.
I wonder how the emperor would feel if he knew this.
"You're facing the emperor head on, aren't you afraid that he'll get angry?"
In the carriage, Fu Zhaoning asked Xiao Lanyuan.
Xiao Lanyuan said lazily, "What are you afraid of? What can I do now that will not make him angry?"
That's true.
No matter what he does, the emperor probably won't tolerate him.
"Don't worry, he doesn't dare to do anything directly to me." Xiao Lanyuan comforted her.
"I want to go home."
Fu Zhaoning was worried about Old Master Fu and Xiaofei.
She didn’t know how they were doing now, and she was a little anxious to go back and see them.
"I have sent someone to pick them up at Prince Jun's Mansion. Don't worry."
"Ah? When?"
"When we are about to enter the city."
Fu Zhaoning didn't realize that he had made other arrangements. But when she heard that he had sent someone to pick up Old Master Fu and Xiaofei, she felt relieved.
Looking at his mask, she became worried again.
"You can't show your face yet?"
Xiao Lanyuan looked at her somewhat regretful expression and chuckled, "Do you want to see me?"
During this period, he was very aware of how much Fu Zhaoning was fascinated by his looks.
Fortunately, he grew up to be the type she liked best, and he was very happy even if he shamelessly relied on his appearance to win her heart.
As long as I can keep her by my side.
"I'll let you watch it alone tonight when we get back to the house."
When saying this, Xiao Lanyuan's tone seemed to have a hook, with some unclear meaning.
"You're getting more and more shameless." Fu Zhaoning glanced at him.
The gates of Prince Jun's Mansion have been kept tightly closed for the past few months, with few people coming in and out. It is usually as quiet as an empty house with no one living in it.
Today, the gate of Prince Jun's Mansion was finally opened.
Butler Zhong came out happily with a group of servants.
"Welcome the prince and princess back to the palace."
They stared at the carriage eagerly. The curtain opened and Xiao Lanyuan got out.
When Butler Zhong and the others saw him wearing a mask, they felt a little disappointed.
Because they thought that after so much time had passed, the prince's face should have healed, and they thought they would be able to see a master with a perfect face.
Who knew it was still a mask after looking at it this way?
Is it true that the prince’s face cannot be cured?
Butler Zhong suppressed the sadness in his heart and came over.
"Your Highness and Princess, thank you for your hard work on this trip."
Xiao Lanyuan stretched out his hand, put his arm around Fu Zhaoning's waist, and carried her directly out of the carriage.
Hong Zhuo and Fen Xing were standing aside and saw this scene. Their eyes lit up and turned into stars.
Wow!
Apart from anything else, the relationship between the prince and the princess has obviously improved!
Where have you seen them so close before?
Butler Zhong was also stunned for a moment, and then he smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed.
That’s great, that’s great. It seems that the prince has already entered the princess’ heart. Can they look forward to the young master?
The prince's bedroom needs to be arranged again, with red candles, red lanterns, red quilts, mandarin duck pillows and so on, everything needs to be arranged!
"Butler Zhong, long time no see." After Fu Zhaoning stood firm, he looked at Butler Zhong, took a look, and was relieved to see that he looked fine.
I’m afraid that since Xiao Lanyuan is not in the capital, the emperor will make things difficult for these people.
"The princess is becoming more and more radiant." Butler Zhong said with a smile.
He was telling the truth. Fu Zhaoning had been gone for more than half a year and had obviously grown taller. Her facial features had also matured. She was beautiful before, and now she was even more beautiful.
"Greetings to the prince, greetings to the princess!"
Hong Zhuo and Fen Xing couldn't wait to salute either.
Fu Zhaoning hadn't seen these two maids for a long time and still missed them a little.
"I'll get you some gifts later. I brought them back from Dahe."
"Thank you, Princess!" The two maids were very happy.
A group of people surrounded the two people as they entered the room. The Dragon Shadow Guards withdrew on their own and soon disappeared. No one knew whether they had left or were hiding somewhere.
But the people in Prince Jun’s mansion felt reassured when they saw Prince Jun coming back.
Their hearts seemed to be floating for the past six months, but now they have finally returned to their original place.
Butler Zhong quickly gave a few quiet instructions, asking people to decorate the prince's bedroom.
"Is the princess still resting in Jianjia Courtyard?" he asked Xiao Lanyuan quietly.
"Um?"
Xiao Lanyuan glanced at him.
Has his housekeeper become stupid?
With just one look, Butler Zhong immediately understood.
"I was wrong. Jianjia Courtyard hasn't been cleaned for a long time. It's dusty and can't be lived in."
He understood the look in the prince's eyes.
After all the things were moved in, Fu Zhaoning didn't rush back to the backyard.
"I'll wait here for Grandfather and Xiaofei and meet them first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Master Fu and Fu Zhaofei arrived.
