Chapter 1424: Chapter 1422: 1421 A little trick

“Miss Rou’s matter seems more urgent, so let’s deal with official business first. As for whatever His Majesty the King wishes to speak to me about, it can be done at any time,” Princess Samiyi declared. “Mr. Puli, you lead the way inside, and Miss Rou will come with me.”

Puli still refused to budge. He said, “It has passed the time for His Majesty the King’s audience, so it might be inconvenient for Miss Rou to go now. She should come back tomorrow.”@@novelbin@@

Princess Samiyi was puzzled, “Strange, when did His Majesty the King say there were time limits on audiences? How come I don’t know about this?”

Puli replied, “It’s something His Majesty the King mentioned recently, so it’s normal for Your Highness not to know.”

“Hmph!” Princess Samiyi snorted coldly, “Miss Rou is very busy with many tasks to do. She can’t possibly come to the palace every day, so whatever it is, we might as well discuss it all today so that she doesn’t need to run back and forth.”

Tan Rou glanced at Princess Samiyi, thinking wasn’t it Princess Samiyi who asked her to come over every day? She even messaged her in the middle of the night, reminding her not to forget today’s gathering. Those unaware of the situation might think Princess Samiyi and she were conspiring on some significant matter that required daily meetings.

Puli said, “If it is inconvenient for Miss Rou to travel, we can arrange a car to pick her up and drop her off.”

“Heh.” Tan Rou just laughed, not saying a word.

At last, these people finally thought to arrange a car for her, the guest, but what was the use of a car now? She was about to go to work, where would she find the time for daily rides?

Princess Samiyi was quite stubborn herself. If Puli wouldn’t let Tan Rou meet the King, she would make sure to take Tan Rou with her. She didn’t believe Puli would dare to lay a hand on her.

“I know where His Majesty the King’s study is, no need for you to show the way,” Princess Samiyi said coldly. “Now, step aside!”

Puli’s expression also turned serious. He said, “I’m sorry, Your Highness, but His Majesty the King only permitted you to see him, and didn’t allow anyone else to accompany you.”

Princess Samiyi was getting angry, “Puli, I know you’ve been at my brother’s side for many years and watched over him as he grew up. My brother respects you and so do I, but please don’t take liberties. You should be very clear about what kind of temper I have.”

Of course, Puli knew the temperament of Princess Samiyi and was aware that she was greatly favored by His Majesty the King. Offending her was not wise, but he was on a mission today, and even if it meant offending the princess, he had to complete the task entrusted to him by His Majesty the King.

“In any case, Miss Rou cannot see the King today!” Puli stated firmly.

Princess Samiyi was done being polite with Puli, and she stepped forward to walk outside, “Miss Rou, please follow me!”

Tan Rou naturally heeded Princess Samiyi, not uttering a word, and quickened her pace to catch up.

Princess Samiyi might look frail, but when she truly started to walk uninhibited, her speed was not slow at all—Tan Rou had to speed up to follow her.

Puli, seeing Princess Samiyi storm off, immediately ran in front of her and blocked her way, “No, you can’t go together!”

Princess Samiyi gave him a sidelong glance, “Do you think you can stop me?”

Yet Tan Rou interjected, “Your Highness, please calm down. Since Mr. Puli does not wish us to go together, then perhaps we should…”

Princess Samiyi cut her off, “Miss Rou, you don’t need to worry. With me here, nothing will happen to you.”

Tan Rou didn’t mean that. She said, “What I meant was, let me do it.”

“Hmm?” Princess Samiyi was perplexed. “Let you do what?”

Tan Rou smiled faintly and then moved closer to Puli, who was blocking their way, and said, “Mr. Puli, you don’t need to lead the way for us, we know where His Majesty the King’s study is. Your speed isn’t as fast as ours, so you should just rest here for a while.”

Then they saw Tan Rou lightly touch Puli, and he became immobile.

Princess Samiyi gaped in amazement, “Is… is this magic?”

With a snap of her fingers, Tan Rou answered with a smile, “It’s just a little trick. There’s no need for the princess to mind.”

“That Monica…” Princess Samiyi finally realized why Monica went mad. It was indeed Tan Rou’s doing!
