Chapter 1483: Chapter 1480: Stop Him

“Nanny, I know you care about this old lady deeply, but there’s something I haven’t told you. Now that the opposition is exposed, I’m afraid there will be even greater dangers ahead. Being with him might not be the best way.”

The old nanny’s face showed guilt: “Old Madam, it was my fault for thinking too simplistically.”

Old Madame Huo sighed softly, looking at the distant palace gate, which could only be faintly seen because of the distance.

“You have good intentions, but you haven’t considered that even ants cling to life, not to mention the counterattacks of a fierce tiger.”

“I understand.” The old nanny felt heavily burdened and respectfully waited beside the carriage. When servants from other families came to inquire about the situation, the old nanny explained everything courteously.

After a while, Zhang Lan finished dealing with the emergency and came over. He stood by the carriage and saluted Old Madame Huo inside, “Greetings, Old Madam.”

“No need for formalities, Guard Zhang. This time, it’s the old lady who should be thanking you.” Old Madame Huo’s voice was kind and grateful, her attitude evident without many words.

“Old Madam is too kind. This is what I should do.”

Zhang Lan was neither servile nor overbearing. He glanced around, lowered his voice, and spoke towards the carriage, making his lip movements indistinct: “Old Madam, shortly I will need… What do you think?”

After listening to Zhang Lan’s suggestion, Old Madame Huo pondered for a while and then nodded in agreement: “Alright, let’s do as you say.”

Zhang Lan raised his voice and said, “Old Madam, don’t worry, I will personally send you away.”

Some people nearby heard his words and were curious about Zhang Lan’s identity.

Just when a clan matron was curious and preparing to inquire for news, there was another new situation at the location of the Third Princess’s blockage ahead.

It became very lively in front.

A well-intentioned lady sent a servant to inquire about the situation.

After a while, the news spread, and everyone knew about it.

People around discussed spiritedly: “Have you heard? Just now Elder Princess’s carriage passed by and found out that the Third Princess was blocking the street. She is scolding her angrily.”

“How could the Third Princess dare offend the Elder Princess?”

“Of course, the Third Princess always behaves like a mouse seeing a cat when she meets the Elder Princess.”

In front, the two being discussed.

At this moment, the Third Princess was being scolded by the Elder Princess, her face pale as she stammered in explanation: “Elder sister, you misunderstood me…”

“Oh? And what have I misunderstood about you?”

“I wasn’t intentionally blocking the street. It’s just that this carriage collision destroyed mine, and you know our carriages are always made from the finest wood. How could it be destroyed? Clearly, it was deliberate. It must have taken considerable force to accomplish this.”

The Elder Princess didn’t speak. Her almond-shaped eyes scanned over the Third Princess’s carriage, glanced around the line of carriages stuck behind, and suddenly saw something. She narrowed her eyes and said to the Third Princess, “Chang’an, that’s enough. Such matters should be handled privately. Don’t let outsiders mock the Royal Family.”

Princess Chang’an was dissatisfied but dared not confront the Elder Princess.

She could only angrily lash her whip, instructing her attendants to haul the carriage aside, while guards dragged away the coachman of the colliding carriage, his body bloodied from hits.

A passage for single carriages appeared in the middle of the street.

With the Elder Princess’s guards overseeing order, it quickly became Huo family’s carriage’s turn.

The Huo family’s carriage had just passed when suddenly, it was stopped.
