Chapter 176 Returning to the Capital



Seeing his good friend's expression, Karl quickly said, "Your Majesty is too kind. Charlie may be feeling a little uncomfortable for a moment."

Yinzhen didn't mind: "It's alright, Charlie Zhensheng can go back and think it over carefully."

Yinzhen continued, "If Mr. Carl also does not intend to return to England, I have several positions here that are particularly suitable for him..."

In the end, Charlie and Carl went back to "consider" in a state of confusion. Yinzhen thought they wouldn't refuse, and that was indeed the case. Charlie and Carl went back and thought about it for a while, and then decided to stay.

They were outnumbered and outgunned, and Yinzhen had given them a guarantee that they would obey the emperor directly. Of course, they didn't have the privilege of appointing others, but their official positions in the Qing Dynasty would give them a respectable status.

Yinzhen made all the arrangements before preparing to leave Guangzhou.

Yinzhen planned to go straight back this time, since he had been away from the palace for quite a long time. If he went back now without stopping along the way, he would arrive back around the Mid-Autumn Festival.

I went straight back from Guangzhou without making any unnecessary stops along the way, and returned to Beijing in early August.

After returning to the capital, Yunrong's mother, Lady Uya, submitted a petition to the palace. She hadn't seen her daughter for a long time and missed her dearly, and also wanted to see her granddaughter.

Seeing that her daughter was doing well, Wuya was happy. In fact, Wuya was very worried about her daughter's trip. She had never been to Jiangnan, but she knew about it.
