Looking at the scene inside the carriage, Chen Xun wished he could gouge his own eyes out.
An Ning quickly climbed out of Mu Ange's arms, her chin almost touching her chest as she lowered her head.
"Speak quickly if you have something to say."
Mu Ange's face darkened again.
"We've arrived in Yuncheng."
"Let's set up camp outside. I and Xiao Ning will enter the city."
"yes."
When the carriage curtain was lowered again, Anning felt that her breathing had become easier.
"Yuncheng is quite nice. Shall I take you for a look around?"
Anning's eyes lit up: "Okay!"
Although they came out to suppress bandits, it wouldn't be wrong for them to take a trip in between, would it?

In the capital, at Lord He's residence, a distinguished guest arrived today, causing Lord He Shuhong some commotion.
The finest tea had already been laid out in the reception room.
"If I had known Your Highness was coming, I would have certainly gone to buy that rain-soaked Longjing tea."
Seeing his enthusiasm, Mu Anjin's plans only grew more ambitious.
"Now that Mu Ange has left the capital, Lord He can finally take a rest?"
Everyone in the capital knew that Lord He and the Third Prince Mu Ange were like mortal enemies, and Lord He especially disapproved of everything the Third Prince did.
"Gone? Even if he leaves, he'll come back someday. It's not like the Third Prince will never return once he leaves the capital."
Mu Anjin carefully observed Lord He's expression to confirm whether what he said was true.
"Not coming back? It seems Lord He has no intention of letting Mu Ange return to the capital!"
Lord He sighed, "What good is it if I think about it? Will thinking about it make him leave the capital?"
A wicked glint flashed in Mu Anjin's eyes: "Lord He, don't be anxious. Perhaps I have a way?"
Lord He was slightly taken aback: "A solution? What solution could Your Highness possibly have?"
"Isn't what Lord He wants precisely for him to be unable to return to the capital? I have plenty of ways to do that. Lord He just needs to wait quietly for news. What I do is none of your concern."
He Shuhong suddenly stood up and bowed to Mu Anjin: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
Mu Anjin also quickly stood up and then reached out to help Lord He to a seat: "Lord He, there is no need for this. What we both want is the same. Lord He, you have seen that in the court today, Father Emperor values me the most. I have also been quite diligent. Lord He, if I inherit the throne, I will certainly not forget the kindness you showed me in the past."
Mu Anjin's words were quite clear. He came today to win over Lord He. Lord He still carried some weight in front of the Emperor, and most of the court officials acted according to his words. If he could get his explicit support, then he would be like a fish in water in the court, and becoming the Crown Prince would be just around the corner.
Having spent so many years in the imperial court, Lord He naturally understood the meaning behind Mu Anjin's words.
"Your Highness, of His Majesty's princes, only you are exceptionally talented and capable of shouldering the great responsibility. I have always believed that only you are worthy of sitting on that supreme throne."
Hearing Lord He's definite answer, Mu Anjin's heart was finally at ease.
"Your Highness, I would also like to ask, what are your plans to prevent Mu Ange from returning to the capital?"
The chilling intent in Mu Anjin's eyes was unmistakable as he whispered a few words in Lord He's ear.
Lord He nodded repeatedly: "Ah, wonderful!"
Mu Anjin replied, "The best part is yet to come."
