An Unexpected Discovery (2)

"We've finally arrived!!"

When a grand convoy appeared outside the East Gate, Princess Longji knew her wait was over. There weren't many convoys entering the East Gate today, and the only one of this size was the Aila Empire's convoy she was waiting for.

Meanwhile, the flags on the convoy belong to the Aila Empire, so it is 100% certain that they belong to the Aila Empire.

"Excuse me, are you Little Princess of the Aila Empire and her entourage?"

For the sake of consideration, Princess Longji still wanted to confirm it first, in case there were many possibilities, it would be better to confirm that it was correct.

"Yes! May I ask who you are..." asked a man who appeared to be an accompanying official from within the convoy.

"I am Long Ji of the Vermilion Bird, and I have come here to welcome Your Highness the Little Princess," Princess Longji said, bowing.

Long Ji? Could it be...?

"Are you Princess Longji? We are truly flattered that you have come to greet us!" the official said immediately, his tone seemingly a little flustered.

Clearly, this official had heard of Princess Longji 'Princess Longji reputation and that she was a powerful princess of the Vermilion Bird Empire, wielding great authority and far superior to ordinary princesses. He was quite surprised that she had come to greet his group.

Officials thought it was a coincidence, since there was no one else on the other side, and Princess Longji was just making a cameo appearance. She didn't think her convoy was anything that deserved attention.

Little Princess? Impossible. She never goes out, and even people in her own country don't know about her. If I hadn't come with her to celebrate her birthday, I wouldn't have known that such a Little Princess existed.

Could it be that the Little Princess has something different about her?

Impossible, she's still a child, and she's always clinging to that mysterious Young Master.

The mysterious Young Master? Could it be him? No, if it were him, Princess Longji wouldn't have avoided mentioning him and instead referred to the Little Princess.

In this convoy, only the Little Princess knew Ye Lang's identity; the others were the same. They only knew that the Little Princess called him brother, and the others called him Young Master.

The Emperor said there's no need to ask too many questions about this identity; you just need to focus on your own tasks!

Emperor Aila did not reveal Ye Lang's identity to anyone. He felt that revealing it would cause unnecessary trouble, and besides, it wouldn't do any good, so he simply ordered people to continue keeping it a secret.

That's why almost no one knows that Ye Lang once appeared in the Aila Empire and in the Aila City!

If this news were to become known, Princess Longji and Cold-Blooded Fifth would speculate that Ye Lang was mixed in with this caravan, and at the same time, they would shift their search for Ye Lang to the south of the empire, instead of just focusing on the north.

"This is what I should do, this is normal negotiation! May I ask, is Her Little Princess in the car?" Princess Longji asked.

"Yes!" the official replied.

"Could you please let her out so I can confirm?" Princess Longji said.

"Well... I'll give it a try..." the official said, somewhat embarrassed.

"Try it?" Princess Longji was a little confused. If it works, it works; if it doesn't, it doesn't. What does "try it" mean?

"Your Highness..." the official knocked on the door of the luxurious carriage and tried to call out.

"What... what do you want?" the Little Princess asked timidly.

"Your Highness, could you please come out for a moment? Princess Longji of the Vermilion Bird Clan is here," the official asked.

"No, my brother is sleeping. She'll tell you if she has anything to say." The Little Princess refused, which was exactly what the official was worried about. He knew that if the Little Princess was alone, she would never come out unless the mysterious Young Master inside was with her.

The Little Princess followed this mysterious Young Master the entire way; without Young Master, she would never have met any outsiders!

"..."

"Princess Longji, I'm sorry, but our Little Princess is very introverted and afraid of meeting strangers. Perhaps we could wait until the Young Master inside wakes up, and then have him and the Little Princess meet you together," the official said somewhat apologetically.

Princess Longji frowned, a little annoyed, because she felt that the official in front of her was just going through the motions, while the Little Princess was pretending to be high-profile and refusing to see her.

It's no wonder she thought that way. Since the Aila Empire sent this Little Princess, she must have some social skills. Why would she be afraid of meeting strangers?

Meanwhile, the creature inside is sleeping, won't you wake it up?

Princess Longji was unaware at this time that the Little Princess had come to accompany Ye Lang, not to offer birthday greetings. This hierarchy was unknown to everyone.

Meanwhile, not waking Ye Lang wouldn't be a problem if Princess Longji knew that the person inside was Ye Lang, because Ye Lang is the kind of person who can't be woken up no matter what. It's very, very difficult to wake him up. In general, when faced with such a situation, you can only wait.

Just then, when Princess Longji and the others were at a loss as to how to break the deadlock, an unexpected situation arose: a young girl suddenly leaped onto the carriage, preparing to break through the window and enter.

The girl's appearance was too sudden, and her skills were beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even Princess Longji would have difficulty stopping her, not to mention that none of the members of the Aila Empire's caravan were experts.

Who is this girl? What does she want to do?

At this moment, almost everyone had these two questions in mind, and most of them felt that the girl must be up to something bad, that she wanted to harm Princess Ella inside, so as to provoke a conflict between the two countries.

However, Princess Longji did not think so, because she knew who this girl was and knew that this girl would never do such a thing. However, she also did not know why this girl would do such a thing.

Who is this girl?

"Cold-Blooded Fifth?" Princess Longji almost shouted it out, but in the end she didn't, because she knew that no matter what Cold-Blooded Fifth was doing now, she should stay out of it.

In other words, you have to pretend you don't know Cold-Blooded Fifth!

"What are you doing?! Guards! There's an assassin!"

Ella's officials immediately shouted, and the guards surrounded the carriage. Although none of them were experts, they were still well-trained.

"Go! Don't let anything happen to our guests!"

Princess Longji gave the same order and took the lead, ostensibly to protect the Little Princess so that no one would think the matter was related to them. At the same time, she also wanted to know what Cold-Blooded Fifth was doing.

"Young lady, what do you want to do? We can discuss this calmly. Please don't do this," the official said in a very formal manner.
