Chapter 002 Warning

Wang Bo proceeded along the resplendent corridor. Having received Jia Fang's information, he was in fact not unfamiliar with this palace; on the contrary, he knew it very well.

In fact, in Jia Fang's memories, Wang Bo was even very familiar with the location of the imperial palace's treasure vault.

This also proves one point.

The Sultan of Sudan placed great trust in his minister, Jia Fang.

After making a few turns, Wang Bo came to a broad road, and following this road would lead him out of the palace.

Yet at that very moment, several guards dressed in distinctly Arabian attire hurriedly caught up with him.

"Minister, Minister!"

The guards shouted loudly as they chased after him.

Wang Bo couldn't help but stop and turn to look at the three guards pursuing him. The three men, dressed in distinctive Arabian attire, walked up to Wang Bo. All were close to the Sultan, one of them being the king's guard, Hajin.

At the same time, this man is also the commander of the palace guards.

Hajin walked up to Wang Bo and bowed to him. "Minister, the Sultan seeks you for an urgent matter of discussion."

Wang Bo couldn't help but frown. What he wanted to do now was to find the magic lamp, not listen to some king's rambling.

To be honest, Wang Bo had no interest whatsoever in the king of Agrabah.

Hajin seemed to see through Wang Bo's hesitation and further said, "Minister, this is the king's command. Please be sure to go to His Majesty's study."

Wang Bo thought for a moment, then nodded. Fine, he'd go see what the king had to say first. After all, the magic lamp was in the Cave of Wonders, and it didn't matter when he went to look for it.

It's best not to offend the king right now.

"I understand. Go attend to your duties, Hajin."

Hajin nodded and made a gesture of invitation.

Wang Bo strode toward the Sultan's study. After watching Wang Bo's figure disappear from his sight, Hajin continued his patrol with two guards.

Wang Bo passed through a garden and fountains with Arabian character, traversed several corridors, and soon saw the king's study.

It was on the second floor of a building.

Wang Bo arrived at the foot of the stairs and was about to go up when he suddenly heard someone call out from behind.

"Minister, please wait a moment."

Wang Bo stopped and looked back; his eyes brightened at the sight of an exotic beauty in a splendid dress, adorned with gold and jadeite head ornaments, walking gracefully toward him step by step.

Her smooth, rounded face, enchanting figure, and healthy-toned skin all unmistakably displayed the woman's elegance.

Could this be Princess Jasmine?

The daughter of the Sultan, Aladdin's future wife?

No, it's not Princess Jasmine.

The moment such a thought surfaced in Wang Bo's mind, he dismissed it—this woman, he seemed to have seen her in the information left behind by Jafar; this woman was not Princess Jasmine.

But it's Princess Jasmine's mother!

That's not right. If Wang Bo remembered correctly, Princess Jasmine's mother should have already died.

Princess Jasmine had a gold ornament, a keepsake left to her by her mother.

Wang Bo was investigating the information left behind by Jafar and soon found information on this woman.

She was Princess Jasmine's stepmother, the queen of Agrabah's Sultan.

This is a woman who never appeared in the storyline, but a month ago, when the Sultan was touring his domain, he saw this woman and fell in love with her at first sight.

Thus, the Sultan, disregarding all opposition, took this woman as his wife and granted her the title of queen.

Now, this woman is the queen of Agrabah.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." After learning of this woman's origins, Wang Bo kept wondering who she might be—someone not in the original story, yet now vividly present.

Could it be a transmigrator?

Is my luck really that good, to discover a transmigrator right after arriving?

Or could it be that this woman is actually a native of the Aladdin world, and only became queen by accident.

This is not an impossibility.

In the previous world, Wang Bo had already witnessed the impact brought by transmigrators, or rather, by transmigrated items.

For example, Emperor Li Zhi, because of the appearance of the Shikon Jewel, was severely injured and died many years earlier.

And Wu Zetian, under his influence, ascended the throne many years earlier than she otherwise would have.

This is the butterfly effect triggered by a time-traveler.

And in this world, there are also time-travelers.

So whether this queen became queen because of the butterfly effect triggered by the transmigrator, or whether she herself is a transmigrator, Wang Bo could not determine for the moment.

Jia Fang had very little contact with this queen, and his knowledge of her was merely superficial.

As for the rest, Jia Fang didn't know much either, and Wang Bo knew even less.

"Minister." As the queen entered, a faint, delicate fragrance wafted over, stirring restlessness.

Wang Bo, having tasted the sweetness in the previous world and reveled night after night, had his interest in women greatly increased. Now, seeing a beautiful woman full of exotic charm and smelling the fragrance on her, he immediately had ideas.

He was not a man like Jafar with a heavy lust for power; on the contrary, Wang Bo took power lightly, but his interest in women was greater than ever before.

So, Wang Bo could only bend slightly at the waist, not letting the queen see his embarrassment.

The queen looked at Wang Bo with her beautiful eyes. “Minister, I heard from the Sultan that a few days ago you thought of marrying Princess Jasmine off to a faraway place. Is that right?”

Wang Bo thought it over. It seemed Jafar had indeed done such a thing, in order to send Princess Jasmine away and usurp the throne.

So Wang Bo nodded.

This was truly hard for him to deny.

The queen's smile gradually turned cold, and she said bluntly, "Minister, Princess Jasmine is the Sultan's daughter. Whether she marries far away is decided by the Sultan. I hope you understand, Minister, that you have no say in this matter, or rather, you should not have meddled in it at all. Do you understand, Minister?"

Wang Bo understood; the queen seemed to be warning him.

Had it been Jafar, he would probably have retorted without the slightest courtesy by now.

But unfortunately, the present Jafar is no longer here, replaced by Wang Bo, and Wang Bo doesn't care at all about Princess Jasmine's distant marriage for the time being.

He only wanted to see the Sultan, and after dealing with him, go find the magic lamp.

"I understand, Queen. I will not interfere in this matter; it is only right that the Sultan should resolve it. Today I will abide by all of the Sultan's decisions. Is this acceptable to you?"

The queen gave a cold snort, as if she did not believe Wang Bo's words at all.

Wang Bo sighed inwardly, realizing he had been casting flirtatious glances at a blind man—his efforts were completely wasted.

However, from this incident, Wang Bo could see that the mysterious queen seemed very hostile toward him, believing that he would harm Princess Jasmine, or rather, that Jafar would harm Princess Jasmine.
