Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Chapter 1449: 1448 Princess and Prince

“`

If the things Tan Rou had done before were for collaboration, then the things she was about to do were for a friend.

She truly admired Samiyi, a vase-like princess who had lived in the palace for over thirty years, yet possessed such great courage; Tan Rou held her in high esteem.

The interests of the royal family and the nobility were interlinked. The King had the greatest power, yet he was also constrained by the nobility. But Samiyi was different; she was fearless. She not only opposed the nobility but also dared to mobilize the King’s guard without authorization.

If others knew what Samiyi had done, she, as a princess, might well be sent to the trial stand.

“The King’s guard can’t just be mobilized at will, right?” Tan Rou asked.

“Yeah,” Samiyi, who had had a few drinks, had completely relaxed. She tossed her heavy jewelry and princess garments aside, and said in a very relaxed manner, “Brother hasn’t woken up yet, and I must do something while he is unconscious. The guards only take orders from His Majesty the King, so I had no choice but to use my brother’s name to mobilize them.”

Tan Rou then asked, “Aren’t you afraid they’ll find out you’re not the King?”

“Hehehe,” Samiyi laughed, “What is there to be afraid of? Could there be a worse situation than now? The King is ill, a bunch of people are coveting the throne of the Kingdom of Amorlande, and the only heir to the palace is unable to shoulder the responsibility. What else can I do?”

Tan Rou said, “Samiyi, I admire you very much.”

But Samiyi said, “Tan Rou, I envy you.”

Tan Rou admired Samiyi for her ability to handle matters; she wasn’t dealing with a company, but a nation of tens of millions of people.

Samiyi envied Tan Rou’s freedom. She had her own career, she could go wherever she wanted, and didn’t need to be managed by anyone.

The two women sat down to eat and talk, and before they knew it, they had been chatting for quite a long time.

When the moon rose, Tan Rou was a little drunk. She proposed to go rest, but just as she finished speaking, she heard the maid say that Prince Laka had arrived.

Tan Rou was instantly no longer sleepy; she wanted to hear what Laka had to say and was eager to listen to how Samiyi would explain the King’s situation to him.

Samiyi said, “Tan Rou, stay a little while longer. I’ll talk to Laka about my brother soon, and I need you to help explain his condition.”

Tan Rou rubbed her face to make herself less drowsy, “Oh, okay.”

Fortunately, the alcohol Samiyi had arranged was low proof; otherwise, Tan Rou would probably be asleep by now.

Before long, Laka hurried in. Seeing Tan Rou was there too, he calmed down a bit, “Miss Rou is here too.”

Tan Rou nodded at him, then turned her gaze to Samiyi. In the ten seconds or so it took her to turn her head, Samiyi had already dressed again.

Tan Rou admired the speed at which Samiyi got dressed in her mind.

Samiyi asked indifferently, “Laka, is there something you need?”

Laka looked at Tan Rou and then at Samiyi, before saying anxiously, “Aunt, I have something very important to tell you.”

Samiyi said, “Oh, then speak here. Tan Rou isn’t an outsider, she will be my good friend from now on.”

Laka frowned, “Aunt, you should come with me.”

Samiyi said, “Do you want to ask me about His Majesty the King?”

Laka was surprised, “How did you know?” Then he sat down and said, “Aunt, dad seems to be angry with me again. I wanted to report today’s work to him, but he ignored me. Mr. Puli said he was resting, but it should be his meal time now, he wouldn’t be resting.”

Samiyi sighed, “Laka, you are a prince. I’ve told you so many times, you must stay calm when encountering issues, don’t be hasty.”

Laka couldn’t calm down, “Aunt, I want to see dad. Please go and talk to him on my behalf.”

“He can’t see you right now.” Samiyi said, weary, “Tan Rou, can you explain for me?”

Tan Rou cleared her throat and explained, “Prince Laka, His Majesty the King indeed can’t see you right now because he is ill and needs to rest for a while.”

“How is that possible?” Laka didn’t believe it, “How can dad be ill when he’s always been so healthy?”
