The queen was unhappy when she heard this, but she was afraid that the father and son would do something behind her back, so she was unwilling to leave.
Dugu Xin didn't care. He glanced at the two of them and made a suggestion.
"Father, I think that since there are mines in Daxia, perhaps we in Dayu also have mines."
"It will take some time for the Great Xia envoys to reach Dayu. During this time, I would like to personally lead people to various places. I ask for your permission, Father."
Emperor Dayu pondered for a moment and decided to agree to Dugu Xin's request.
The queen was unable to stop her and could only leave in disappointment. Looking at the queen's leaving back, a smile of triumph flashed across Dugu Xin's face.
The reason why Dugu Xin made this request was actually because he received news from the No. 1 Village in the World.
During this period, since the queen adopted the new prince, she has been busy planning something.
Although Dugu Xin had become the crown prince, Emperor Dayu's indulgence of the queen made it impossible for him to display his power in many areas.
Not only that, the queen's mother's family was powerful, and Dugu Xin was restrained everywhere.
A few days ago, he received news that someone had sent people to cordon off the area around Cangwu Mountain and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will.
Originally, Dugu Xin was worried and didn't know what to do, but when he received the news from Daxia, he had an idea in his mind.
Not only that, Ye Sheng has also asked the people from the No. 1 Village in the World to transport the universal storage box to the territory of Dayu Kingdom.
Dugu Xin could just use the excuse of collecting herbs to go to Cangwu Mountain in person to see the situation.
Moreover, it is said that the five kinds of animal medicinal herbs that Ye Xiaoxiao needs appeared in the Cangwu River at the foot of Cangwu Mountain.
"Master, has His Majesty agreed?"
Seeing Dugu Xin coming out of the emperor's bedroom, Han Yu immediately stepped forward to ask.
Dugu Xin nodded, then took Han Yu towards his bedroom.
"Thanks to Ye Sheng and Xinya coming this time, we have the opportunity to go to Cangwu Mountain to find out what's going on."
Han Yu nodded first, then asked with some concern.
"Master, if we don't find anything, how are we going to explain to His Majesty when we get back?"
Dugu Xin sneered, "Whether we discover it or not is up to us to decide."
"What's more, Cangwu Mountain has been inexplicably imprisoned. There must be something fishy going on."
"Go and have your men prepare. I will give Concubine Xiao Shufei a few words of instruction and then reunite with you."
Han Yu no longer hesitated after hearing this. After Dugu Xin simply changed his clothes, he went to Concubine Xiao Shufei's bedroom.
When Concubine Xiao Shu heard that Dugu Xin was coming, she immediately welcomed him in with a smile.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince has graced my humble home with his presence."
"Mother Xiao, you are too polite. I came here to inform you that Xinya will be returning to the palace soon."
When Concubine Xiao Shufei heard this, she was shocked, but when she saw Dugu Xin's expression, she quickly calmed down.
After a detailed discussion, she realized that it was not what she thought.
"I thought Xinya was being willful and had secretly returned by herself, but I didn't expect that Daxia had sent her and her husband here together."
"It seems that Xinya must be living well in Daxia. This way, I am relieved."
Dugu Xin had already told Concubine Xiao Shu about Ye Sheng's situation, so Concubine Xiao Shu was quite satisfied with the marriage.
"Mother Xiao, I came here to discuss something with you."
"Your Highness is too polite. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."
Concubine Xiao Shufei smiled, and Dugu Xin told her that he was about to leave the palace.
When Concubine Xiao Shufei heard this, a look of worry immediately appeared on her face.
"Your Highness, please be cautious. Although the Queen no longer has the Crown Prince's support, her mother's family is powerful. If you leave the palace alone, I'm afraid..."
Dugu Xin understood Concubine Xiao Shufei's worries and comforted her with a faint smile.
"Don't worry too much, Mother Xiao. I have already made arrangements."
"I came here this time because I wanted Mother Xiao to teach the Crown Princess and the Concubine more, so that they wouldn't be embarrassed by others when I'm not in the palace."
Concubine Xiao Shufei thought it was a big deal, but she didn't expect that she was just helping him take care of a few women.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is deeply devoted to the Crown Princess and the Concubine. This is truly enviable. Your Highness, rest assured. I will take care of this matter."
Dugu Xin was not as deeply in love as Concubine Xiao Shufei said, but the maternal families of the Crown Princess and the Concubine helped him.
In order to make the two families help him wholeheartedly, he naturally had to spend more time and effort on these women.
Seeing that Concubine Xiao Shu agreed, Dugu Xin felt much more relieved. He bowed to Concubine Xiao Shu and prepared to leave.
But just as he stood up to leave, Concubine Xiao Shufei stopped him.
"Your Highness, please stay."
Dugu Xin looked at the other person in confusion, but saw Concubine Xiao Shu took a jade pendant from her waist and handed it to him.
"Your Highness, this is the family jade pendant of my Xiao family. With this jade pendant, Your Highness can mobilize anyone in the Xiao family to serve you."
Dugu Xin took a look at it and had no intention of accepting it, but Concubine Xiao Shufei stuffed it directly into his hand.
"I remember your Highness's help to me and Xinya. Although the Xiao family is not a big family, I also want to do my best for your Highness."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Xin couldn't refuse anymore. He nodded and put the jade pendant away.
"In that case, I would like to thank Mother Xiao. I will take my leave now."
Concubine Xiao Shufei stood up and personally sent the person away. After returning, she sat at the table, frowning and thinking deeply about something.
Dugu Xin returned to his bedroom and tidied up briefly, then asked Han Yu to call the Crown Princess and the Crown Princess over.
Although the two girls had just married Dugu Xin, they both knew that Dugu Xin had no feelings for them.
Originally, when the two girls received Han Yu's notification, they were a little curious.
But when they met each other at the gate of the East Palace, they became even more curious.
The two looked at each other and headed towards the bedroom, while Han Yu tactfully retreated.
"I greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I wonder why His Royal Highness summoned us here?"
"I'm going to be away for a while, so I'll leave the Eastern Palace to you two. I've already told Concubine Xiao Shu that if anything happens, you can seek her help."
The two looked at each other again, and Dugu Xin continued.
"I know that both of you are arrogant, but I want to tell you that the Queen is eyeing me with all her might. If I'm not careful, I'll be doomed."
"So, you two must work together, only then can you become my helper."
"If you two don't get along, it's very likely someone will take advantage of you. When that happens, don't blame me for not warning you."
The two nodded, but the Crown Princess suddenly looked at Dugu Xin.
"Your Highness, there is something I don't understand. I don't know if I should tell you or not."
