Xiao Zhan discovered the fourth Prince outside his quarters, attempting to get into a carriage.



"Wait!" He yelled, rapidly reaching for his arm. Lan Wangji looked at him puzzledly, then at the hand on his arm, but Xiao Zhan tightened his grip. "Where are you going? Let me come."



Lan Wangji cast a glance at his commander, who was amusedly observing the scene. He turned to face Xiao Zhan and tried to wrench his arm free. "I intend to venture beyond the capital."



"I want to come. I have not left the capital region yet. It's boring in here. I promise I will be good." He wriggled his brows. He had not been outside the capital; it was only natural for him to be curious about what the outside looked like in ancient times, or perhaps it was just an excuse to stay by the prince's side.



"Your Highness."



Xiao Zhan turned around and rolled his eyes when his gaze landed on consort Zhi Ruo. The bitch had a sweet smile on her face as she came to a halt before the prince and bowed. "Are you going out, my lord? Perhaps I should accompany you this time as the first consort."



Xiao Zhan snorted. He was not sure which was more irritating, her voice or the plastic on her face, and here he thought people in the ancient world knew nothing about plastic surgery. He did not care if this one did it; she was just too ugly. He firmly gripped the prince's hand, staking his claim. "That will not be necessary; I will accompany him. You can return to your little chambers and shove it." He flashed her a sweet, phony smile that transcended hers, and instantly, the smile on her face fell dramatically, and with a wave, Xiao Zhan followed the prince into the carriage.



The fourth prince bit back a smile as he sat down. "Your speech pattern is peculiar. Tell me, does everyone in your world talk like that, or is it just you, the crazy one?"



Xiao Zhan smiled brightly. "I will accept that as a compliment. Anyway, the world I come from is not like yours, and I can not wait to return. Your world is simply too dull for someone like me." He made a face and crossed his arms over his chest.



Lan Wangji felt a sudden tightening in his chest. "After you activate the bead, you will return to your world. You simply have to know how."



Xiao Zhan nodded. "So, where are we going? Is it going to be fun?"



Lan Wangji rolled his eyes. "It's not. Conversely, that is the case. I doubt you will be able to cope." He rested his head back and closed his eyes.



Xiao Zhan shrugged. "Doesn't matter. It is preferable to remain in my room because the walls are now too boring." With curiosity, he pulled back the curtains and observed the carriage pass several buildings. He continued to watch until they were outside of the capital and through the woods. He closed his eyes, taking in the clean, fresh air and the open sky that welcomed him as a haven from the confines of the city. However, the tranquility was shattered when he saw masked men emerge from the woods and rush towards their carriage, which was moving faster; Commander Jian-Jun must have almost noticed the men. He returned his gaze to Lan Wanji, who was still motionless and had his eyes closed. He quickly went to his sides and jolted him awake.
