Bechuk waited anxiously at home for Qin Mo's return, wondering how things were going. Had his father mentioned this to the ministers? Lost in thought, he looked up and saw Qin Mo return, looking rather unhappy. Bechuk assumed things hadn't gone well.

Bechuk stepped forward and asked, "Prince Consort, has Father Emperor announced to the ministers that he has appointed you as Left Minister?" Yesterday, Qin Mo returned from the palace and told Bechuk that Father Emperor wanted to promote him to Left Minister.

Qin Mo nodded, and Bie Chuke finally felt relieved. "Your Highness, now that Father has appointed you as the Left Secretary, why are you still so unhappy?" Qin Mo looked dejected, showing no joy whatsoever at the prospect of being promoted.

"Alas... When Father Emperor mentioned this matter in court today, the ministers all thought that I was too young and inexperienced, and therefore unsuitable for the Left Secretariat." Qin Mo deliberately concealed the fact that the fact that the imperial son-in-law was never given important positions was also one of the reasons.

Bechuk's smiling face immediately turned bulging with anger. He had long anticipated that these ministers would try to obstruct him. "Your Highness, you don't need to worry. Since Father Emperor has entrusted this matter to you, it means he trusts you enough. As long as you do your duty and make a difference, those ministers won't dare to say anything more."

Hearing Bechuk's encouragement and support, Qin Mo immediately felt more confident. "I will do my best to not let you and Father Emperor down." Qin Mo hugged Bechuk tightly.

Bechuk rested her head on Qin Mo's shoulder. Although she strongly supported the prince consort, she knew that the position of Left Secretary would inevitably harm the interests of Krokodo, and the prince consort's position would probably not be so smooth.

After the court session, the Fourth Prince went directly to Changchun Palace, intending to rush to Lanqin to discuss his preparations for a personal military campaign.

"Your Majesty, are you going to the Northwest?" Lanqin looked at the Fourth Prince with a questioning expression. "What about the affairs of the court?" The situation in the court is unstable now. If the Fourth Prince goes to the Northwest, the palace will probably be in chaos.

"I intend to appoint Qin Mo, the son-in-law of Bechuk, as the Left Grand Secretary to counterbalance Longkodo's power in the court." The Fourth Prince had already considered everything carefully.

"Should Qin Mo be appointed Left Grand Secretary?" "But Qin Mo's influence in the court is weak. How can he possibly defeat Longkodo? Your Majesty, please reconsider!" Lan Qin didn't want the Fourth Prince to take any risks, so she tried every means to stop him.

The Fourth Prince saw through Lanqin's thoughts. "I will have the Thirteenth Prince assist Qin Mo in managing the affairs of the court. Lanqin, you don't need to worry."

"But... even so, Your Majesty, you are too old to personally lead an expedition!" Lanqin said emotionally, strongly objecting. Although she knew the Emperor would be safe on this trip, she was still a little afraid. What if history didn't match up?

"I am getting old, but I still have the ability to lead troops into battle. Moreover, the situation in the northwest is unfavorable. If I go there, I will surely be able to boost the morale of the soldiers and defeat the Xiongnu in one fell swoop," the Fourth Prince insisted.

Lanqin was speechless, sitting sullenly to the side, unwilling to speak. She knew that as a woman, she couldn't be of any help on the battlefield.

The Fourth Prince knew Lanqin was worried about him, but he absolutely had to go to the Northwest. "Lanqin, don't worry, I will return safely. Then I'll accompany you to travel and enjoy the scenery of the world, how about that?"

Lanqin looked up at the stubborn Fourth Prince. Since she couldn't stop him, she decided to let him go in peace. "Alright, Your Majesty, remember your words. Return safely and take Lanqin to see all the beautiful sights in the world."
