Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 111 The plan cannot keep up with the changes

Zhao Yunrong looked at the obviously panicked Director of the Imperial Observatory and sneered in his heart. His fourth brother really did everything he could to bring him down. He even came up with such an idea. First, he took leave due to a leg injury, and then instructed the Director of the Imperial Observatory to say such words in front of the emperor. As a result, he was the only candidate left in his father's mind.

"Master Zhu, why are you in such a hurry and look so flustered? Have you done something wrong?"

Zhu Zhouchuan's face was pale. He suddenly felt a layer of fierce murderous intent covering his whole body. When he saw the Eighth Prince's eyes that looked like a poisonous snake, his body suddenly shuddered. A chill rose from his spine. He suppressed the fear in his heart and pulled a stiff arc at the corner of his mouth. "Eighth Prince, you are joking. I just walked faster because of something at home."

Zhao Yunrong suddenly laughed, and his laughter echoed in the air, seeming particularly abrupt and strange.

"In this case, I will not hinder Master Zhu's progress. However, Master Zhu, when you see Fourth Brother, please send my regards and hope that Fourth Brother's leg injury will recover soon."

The corners of Zhu Zhouchuan's mouth were stiff with a smile that was uglier than crying. It was frozen on his face, looking extremely ridiculous and funny. His forced calm tone revealed his guilty conscience that was difficult to conceal. "Eighth Prince has misunderstood. I am going back home and have no intention of going to Fourth Prince's residence."

Compared to Zhu Zhouchuan's panic, Zhao Yunrong's voice was more calm, "Really? Then Lord Zhu, please go back quickly to avoid delays. But be careful with your steps and don't take the wrong road, otherwise you won't be able to return home."

Facing the Eighth Prince's pointed words, Zhu Zhouchuan bowed and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Eighth Prince. I'll take my leave now."

Zhu Zhouchuan lowered his hands and turned around, but the respect in his eyes disappeared the next moment, and his sinister and vicious look was revealed without a doubt. He was completely different from the man who was trembling in fear in front of the Eighth Prince just now.

Eighth Prince, it won’t be long before we know who is the one who cannot return home.

The Fourth Prince will not give you a chance to come back alive!

Xiao Guoer prepared a lot of delicious food, clothes and useful items for her trip. She also bought a large carriage and decorated the interior to be comfortable and warm, which was more than enough to accommodate three petite women. Even if they lay flat in it to take a rest, it would be completely fine.

Although she was carrying a lot of things and it was a bit cumbersome, she was going to travel and enjoy the scenery, so she just walked slowly. She wanted to take Yingniang, Yueya and Zhou Pozi with her to go out and relax. But Zhou Pozi refused. She had a son and daughter-in-law in Shangjing City. Since the eldest and second daughters were going out, she didn't need to cook. She could go home to reunite with her son and daughter-in-law, and take care of her grandson and enjoy the family happiness.

Xiao Guoer gave her a holiday according to her wishes.

When Yueya heard that she could go out and play, she was so happy. She had been living in Shangjing City since she was born and had never left. Now that she had the chance, she couldn't wait to go out and see the outside world.

After Xiao Guoer told Tang Jingchen her idea, she didn't expect that he would also express his willingness to go with them, not only to keep them company but also to protect their safety.

On the way, he could also check out the business operations of the Tang family in various places. In the past, he often went out, so he had rich experience in traveling and knew a little about the delicious food and beautiful scenery in various places.

Xiao Guoer was overjoyed when she heard this, and she smiled like a flower. She climbed onto Tang Jingchen's arm like a spoiled child, and looked at the man in front of her who became more and more handsome and charming with eyes full of love and happiness. She said in a soft and coquettish tone, "Jingchen! How can you be so nice! I almost want to go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha."

Tang Jingchen raised a doting smile at the corner of his mouth, looked at the person hanging on his arm, and asked puzzledly, "Why do you burn incense and worship Buddha?"

"Thank God for letting me meet you!"

Tang Jingchen's smile deepened, his eyes were filled with gentleness, but he pretended to be enlightened and said, "Is that so? Then we will encounter many temples on the way. I will take you to burn incense one by one, and I will definitely satisfy your wish."

Unexpectedly, he would be so mischievous. Xiao Guoer was slightly annoyed. She let go of the long arm in her hand and complained coquettishly, "Jingchen, you have changed! I have changed my mind. I never believe in ghosts and gods. My luck only means that I have a good life!"

However, the little hand that had just been released due to anger was held tightly again. Tang Jingchen's voice was filled with indescribable joy, "Okay, okay, if you don't want to go, then I will let you go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, thanking God for giving you to me."

The gentle voice was extremely affectionate, and the tender gaze fell directly on her face, making her blush and her heart beat faster.

Oh my! How could Jingchen be so good at this... He didn't look like an ancient person who had never been in love before. Instead, he looked like a seasoned veteran in the love field. Even she, a modern person who had read so many romance novels and had a wealth of theoretical knowledge, was defeated.

It’s so unreasonable!

Shun'er got goosebumps all over his body when he heard this. His teeth felt like they were soaked in vinegar and felt so sour. These two people have been getting more and more annoying recently...

He couldn't help but feel melancholy in his heart. He wished Xiaodie could talk to him like this someday. She always disliked him recently and hadn't left him any snacks or biscuits for a long time.

Alas, the young master's love life is so smooth, why is his emotional journey so bumpy...

Plans cannot keep up with changes. Just when everyone had packed up and were ready to leave, they didn't expect an accident to happen on Tang Jingchen's side.

He looked at Xiao Guo'er with an apologetic look on his face, "I'm really sorry, I can't accompany you to travel this time. The Eighth Prince ordered me to go to Huaiyang with him to help him deal with the plague. When I come back, I will definitely accompany you for a walk."

Xiao Guoer felt a little disappointed. Her plan to travel together was broken by a sudden accident. She must have felt disappointed, but she could do nothing about it. She could only nod unhappily and said, "Okay, then be careful on the road."

Seeing that she was pouting and looking lonely, Tang Jingchen gently took her left hand and pushed her sleeve up a little, revealing her fair wrist.

Then, he took out a jade bracelet of excellent quality, soft and delicate from his sleeve, and slowly and gently put it on her slender wrist. He looked at it carefully and nodded with satisfaction. This color only looked more charming and lovely when worn on her.

A slightly cool feeling came from her wrist. Xiao Guoer was slightly surprised when she saw a cherry pink bracelet suddenly appeared on her wrist. This bracelet seemed familiar.

Xiao Guoer remembered the bracelet she saw in the dark market, which she suspected was a burial object.
