The guards had finished their inspection and were about to let the carriage proceed.
"Wait a moment." Hong Fangxing approached the carriage.
Inside the carriage, the Lan couple and Ye Huangyu were startled. Could it be that Hong Fang had noticed something amiss?
Especially Ye Huangyu; when she heard Hong Fang's voice, her entire complexion changed, and her hand hidden under her sleeve tightly clenched.
Lan Yingwu gestured for silence and pulled back a corner of the carriage curtain.
"Lord Grand Protector, I've heard about the Crown Prince's assassination attempt. How is the situation now?"
"General Lan, His Highness the Crown Prince has just ordered that we must capture that assassin. Every carriage must be thoroughly searched. I'm afraid I'll have to ask Lady Lan and Second Miss Lan to step out as well. Once I have inspected, you may proceed."
Hong Fang looked into the carriage through the partially covered curtain.
