This way.
Ye Qingcheng and Qin Mohan also returned to the Prince's Mansion.
However, the two had just returned to their residence.
The Fourth Prince, the Sixth Prince, and Princess Wenning also arrived.
"Seventh Brother, are you all packed up and ready to leave the city?"
Looking at the now empty and desolate Hanwang Mansion, the Fourth Prince asked Qin Mohan a question.
Qin Mohan nodded: "Okay! Pack everything up, get ready to leave the city."
"So where are you planning to go?"
After hearing this, Qin Mohan did not answer the Fourth Prince, but turned to look at Ye Qingcheng.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qingcheng looked at Princess Wen Ning.
"Ning Xue, our first stop is Jiangnan."
Princess Wenning's face lit up with joy upon hearing this.
"real."
"That's right."
"Alright, Qingcheng believes that once you go to Jiangnan, you definitely won't want to return to the capital."
Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "Actually, I know quite a bit about the Jiangnan region, but I haven't been there, so I don't know if my understanding is the same as theirs."
"Hmm? Is that so?"
"That's right. As far as I know, the Jiangnan region should be a place of beautiful mountains and clear waters, rich in talent and resources, a hub of trade, and a silk-producing region, right?"
Princess Wenning listened and nodded with a smile: "Yes! That's right, so Jiangnan can be considered a beautiful place. You made the right choice to go to Jiangnan, but..."
Speaking of which...
Princess Wenning paused, her face somewhat somber.
Seeing this, Ye Qingcheng asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Princess Wenning sighed and shook her head: "It's nothing, it's just that I have to participate in the autumn hunt, so I'm afraid I can't go with you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "I thought something serious had happened. It's alright if you can't go! I'll come to your Wen residence to find you after you get back."
Princess Wenning nodded: "Alright, then it's settled."
"Um!"
The two talked for a while.
The Sixth Prince spoke up: "Ning Xue, don't be too happy yet. Although Jiangnan is a scenic place, it is also a mixed bag, with all sorts of bandits running rampant."
"This seventh brother and his wife are going to Jiangnan for the first time; they should be careful."
"Hmm? Sixth Brother, do you know there are bandits in the Jiangnan region?"
"Is that even a question? What place doesn't have bandits? Even our capital has them, but they probably don't dare to be so rampant because they're under the emperor's nose."
"Uh...that's not what I meant. I know there are bandits in every place, but what I meant was, does Sixth Brother know what kind of evil deeds the bandits in Jiangnan have committed?"
"I have heard that in the Jiangnan region, officials and bandits collude to oppress the local people at will."
The Emperor had previously issued an edict ordering the Governor-General of Liangjiang to conduct a thorough investigation in various regions, but for some unknown reason, the bandits continued to run rampant.
"Hmm? The Governor-General of Liangjiang, Richard?"
"That's right."
Qin Mohan nodded after hearing this: "Your subject understands."
"Alright, when you get to Jiangnan, be careful. After all, you don't have any special status right now. If anything happens there, the local officials might not give you any face."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. However... I don't want to hide it from you, but Father has granted us the status of imperial envoys for this trip out of the capital..."
"What?"
"Seventh brother, what did you just say?"
"To be honest, my two royal brothers, we had just returned from the palace before you arrived."
"Huh? Come back? What do you mean, Seventh Brother?"
Qin Mohan sighed: "Actually, after Father Emperor announced the removal of our identities, he came to the mansion in person and asked me to take his token to various places to investigate."
"Surveying in various places? What does this mean?"
"Just as my sixth brother said, bandits are rampant in the Jiangnan region. My father received a report that there was collusion between officials and bandits, so he ordered me to carry his imperial edict to various places to investigate thoroughly, and gave me the status of an imperial envoy."
"This... Seventh Brother, is what you're saying true?"
Qin Mohan nodded: "Mm!"
"So...so, Father Emperor didn't strip you of your identities?"
"Apart from."
"Hmm? Besides?"
“That’s right, that’s why Father Emperor gave me the title of Imperial Envoy.”
"What is the purpose of Father Emperor taking away your identities and then giving you new ones?"
Qin Mohan shook his head: "Your Majesty, I do not understand what you mean either."
"That goes without saying, it must be that Father Emperor is reluctant to part with you!" the Fourth Prince said with a smile.
Qin Mohan smiled and shook his head: "Fourth brother, you think too highly of your subject. We are all Father's sons. You know what Father's temperament is like."
"Seventh Brother, that's not very meaningful! Among all of us brothers, who doesn't know that Father Emperor dotes on you the most?"
“That’s right, Seventh Brother, all of us brothers have witnessed this.”
Qin Mohan smiled after hearing this: "Alright! Your Majesty admits that Father Emperor does indeed favor me a bit."
"Good that you admit it, hahaha!" The fourth prince said, laughing loudly.
The Sixth Prince nodded and then said with a smile, "Originally, I was worried about you, but now it seems we were overthinking it."
Well?
"Your Majesty, I am very grateful for your concern."
"Alright! Since Father Emperor isn't really stripping you of your status, then we have nothing to worry about."
However, as your elder brother, I still wish my seventh brother a safe return to Beijing after this trip.
"That's right, I hope you return to Beijing soon, and then we brothers can get together again."
"Alright, thank you both, Your Majesty."
