The Great Tang Dynasty's Trans-Dimensional Conference: Little Rhinoceros Arrives

Chapter 9: Time Travel, Right?

Taiji Hall.

Li Shimin was focused on reviewing the memorials in his hands when a commotion arose outside the hall. He did not look up, but merely frowned slightly.

Wu She cautiously raised her head and glanced at Li Shimin, then lightly stepped out of the hall, thinking to herself, "Could something have happened again?"

In the distance, a eunuch from Hanfeng Palace, led by a guard from Taiji Palace, hurried over. From a distance, he saw the Grand Steward Wushe standing expressionlessly at the door.

"Chief Steward Wushe, a palace attendant from Hanfeng Palace reports that they request an audience with His Majesty! Please go and inform them!" The leading guard stepped forward.

This morning, Li Shimin had already ordered a complete blockade and that the news of the little princess's unexplained disappearance be kept quiet, so the guards on duty during the day were unaware of what happened last night.

Upon hearing the name Hanfeng Palace, Wu She's heart skipped a beat. He waved to the guard, signaling him to leave first. Once the guard was out of sight, he quickly beckoned to the young eunuch. The young eunuch, his forehead dripping with cold sweat, nervously approached Wu She.

"Greetings, Chief... Steward... Your... Lord!" The young eunuch trembled uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Wu She lowered her voice and leaned close to the young eunuch: "Stand still, don't tremble. What happened to Hanfeng Palace? Is it that His Highness...?"

"Reporting to... Steward, Your Highness... Princess Chang Le was playing with the little princess when suddenly... the little princess... she... disappeared right in front of Your Highness!" After saying the last sentence, he lowered his head, not daring to look into Wu She's eyes again.

To everyone's surprise, Wu She didn't react much after hearing this, only nodding: "Go back first, and remember, this news must not be spread. If I hear anyone gossiping about it! Humph! Understand?"

Upon hearing this, the young eunuch hurriedly wiped the sweat from his brow and bowed, saying, "I...I understand, please rest assured, Master!"

Wu She nodded in satisfaction, waved to dismiss the young eunuch, and walked into the hall. Li Shimin had just put down the memorial in his hand and couldn't help but stretch.

"What happened outside just now?!"

"Your Majesty, a messenger from Hanfeng Palace reports that the young prince has disappeared again!" Wushe walked up to Li Shimin and whispered.

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes instantly sharpened, and he exuded an aura of dominance unique to emperors, causing Wu She, who was standing to the side, to be secretly alarmed.

The next moment, Wu She suddenly remembered something and bowed again: "This time, it seems that His Highness suddenly disappeared before His Highness Chang Le's eyes!"

"What! He disappeared right before Chang Le's eyes again? Let's go to Hanfeng Palace!" Li Shimin flicked his sleeves and strode out.

Outside Hanfeng Palace, everyone knelt down upon seeing His Majesty's return. However, this time Li Shimin did not order his arrest, which relieved everyone.

Inside the palace, Princess Chang Le sat blankly on the bed, with Ming Yue and Qiu Xia waiting by her side. When Li Shimin entered, the two immediately knelt down to pay their respects, but Li Shimin ignored them and went straight to Princess Chang Le.

Seeing that Princess Chang Le looked quite frightened, Li Shimin slowly sat down beside her and gently put his arm around her shoulder.

Princess Chang Le instinctively tried to push away the approaching figure, but when she looked up, she realized it was her father, the Emperor, and her eyes instantly filled with tears.

"Father, Little Sizi...she just vanished right before my eyes! I didn't protect her properly, it's all my fault!"

Li Shimin gently patted Princess Chang Le's shoulder: "Lizhi, don't blame yourself. Your father knows that Si Zi's disappearance has nothing to do with you! You don't need to take the blame. Besides, since she came back last night, she might come back again soon!"

Princess Chang Le did not speak upon hearing this, but simply kept crying on Li Shimin's shoulder.

Seeing this, the head steward, Wu She, also spoke up to comfort her: "Your Highness, please don't worry. Last night, the Grand Astrologer Li said that the little princess will be fine, and there's even a great opportunity this time. In my opinion, the little princess might even bring you a surprise when she returns!"

Li Shimin was surprised that Wu She's words were actually effective. Princess Chang Le immediately stopped crying and looked up at Li Shimin.

"Father, are you saying this is true?"

Seeing Princess Chang Le with tears streaming down her face, Li Shimin felt a pang of heartache and quickly affirmed, "Father thinks Wu She's words are correct, and that's what Father wanted to say too!" He then gave Wu She an affirming look.

Wu She, having "received" Li Shimin's affirmation, felt a surge of elation. However, unbeknownst to him, Li Shimin actually meant to say, "You old scoundrel, you stole my lines!"

The atmosphere inside the hall suddenly improved dramatically.

Lin Fan, carrying several large bags of items, arrived at the door. He put the bag in his right hand on the ground, skillfully took out his key from his back pocket, and just as he opened the door, he vaguely heard a strange singing coming from the living room.

"Little girl, so cute, little girl, so adorable!"

"This can't be...?" Because there was a corner between the entrance and the living room, he couldn't see the living room immediately. To confirm his suspicions, Lin Fan dropped the items in his hand and ran to the living room without even closing the door.

On the living room sofa, a cute little baby was sitting, "singing" while fiddling with her little toes, until Lin Fan suddenly shouted and she finally realized what was happening.

"Little Sizi!" Lin Fan couldn't help but cheer with delight, startling the little princess who hurriedly hid her hands, which she had just finished picking at her toes, behind her back.

"Hehe, Little Nangju, you're here?" the little princess greeted with a smile.

"Is this...is this a real time-travel experience happening in my own home?" Lin Fan thought to himself.

The next second, Lin Fan rushed to the sofa, picked up the little princess, and lifted her high in the air. This sudden action made the little princess a little unaccustomed to it.

"Ah!" Unexpectedly, Lin Fan tossed the little princess high in the air, startling her so much that she immediately screamed and closed her eyes. She didn't react until she was caught a second later!

"Hahaha, all done, all done, how about we continue!" Little Sizi clapped his hands with joy.

The next second, Lin Fan seemed to receive a command like a robot: "Alright! Let's fly again!" Then he launched another high throw, and Xiao Sizi cheered, but he was no longer afraid at all.

Lin Fan caught it again, and Xiao Sizi was overjoyed, his two little tiger teeth never being covered.

"Little one! We still have to fly!"

The little princess gave another command, but Lin Fan shook his head: "Alright, Sizi, be good. Two flights are enough. This move is dangerous. What if you accidentally fall?"

"I'm not fat, I really want Feifei!" The little princess was immediately unhappy when she heard Lin Fan refuse, and rubbed Lin Fan's face with her two little hands.

"Huh, what's that smell? It smells sour?" Lin Fan sniffed in confusion. He hadn't noticed Xiao Sizi's little actions when he entered the room.

Upon hearing this, the little princess secretly sniffed her pink little hands, immediately looked disgusted, and quickly put her hands behind her back.

Lin Fan, being so close, naturally noticed this scene and couldn't help but shift his position, saying, "Hey, what's Little Si hiding with her hands behind her back? Let your brother see it."

Little Sizi shook his head frantically while muttering, "It's my hand, it's not playing!"

That was an admission of guilt. Lin Fan shook his head with a smile: "Hahaha, I never said Si Zi's hands were smelly, Si Zi herself said so!"

"Hmm~ Well, it's not good, not good, you can do it!" Xiao Sizi shook her head and held her hand in front of Lin Fan.

Lin Fan didn't want to tease the little ox anymore, afraid that if it cried, there wouldn't be a way to handle the situation. He quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, our little ox doesn't smell bad at all. The little ox smells the best!"

The little princess's smile immediately returned upon hearing this.
