"Then we are going to Linhai Town in Huainan City!" Huangfu Lin intended to set off immediately.
"My dear fellow, surely there is no need to be in such a hurry? Look at the sky outside—is this weather fit for traveling? You aren't familiar with the area; aren't you afraid of getting lost? If something were to happen to you while in the Chu State, how could I ever explain it to the people of the Canglan State? In my opinion, don't rush. We know where they are staying; are you afraid they will run away? If you are worried about the safety of your little princess, you needn't be. My son is by her side, and nothing will happen to her!" Emperor Chujing could not afford to let anything happen to Huangfu Lin and his wife while they were his guests. Though he was a sovereign, he could not bear the consequences of such an event.
"Being with your son is exactly what makes it dangerous! Who knows if he will take advantage of my daughter? My daughter looks like a lamb ready for the slaughter, and your son is a wolf in sheep's clothing." Huangfu Lin was terrified that his daughter might lose her senses and spark something with that brat—or worse, produce a grandchild before he could step in to stop it.
