He was going to ascend the throne in the capital city. To avoid any accidents, the Cloud Guards and Shao Zhongxi had to stay concealed, so she had to go with him.
Moreover, she still remembered the two mysterious masked men were still lurking around.
In her opinion, the goal of those two mysterious people was very likely to kill him.
In short, she had to pay more attention to his safety.
Moreover, at the end of October last year, he had already drafted a memorial based on his memories from his previous life and sent it to his father in the Imperial Capital. The memorial was filled with people he planned to promote. Some were not officials, some were very young, only in their teens, and some were even from especially low backgrounds. However, he knew that they were all very capable, and extremely loyal to Da Ling, and all of them had the heart to support the people of Da Ling.
The Imperial Court had already been purged by his father. Some people had been promoted, but some were kicked out. Only when all the officials were worthy of their positions, loyal to Da Ling, and had the people in their hearts could he abdicate the throne as an Emperor. With the right people, the officials could be a double insurance for Da Ling.
The Emperor had originally looked at the people in the memorial and was afraid that the officials would not be satisfied. After all, he was about to abdicate and did not want to cause trouble. He had some considerations. However, after a little investigation, he found that even if some of them were especially young and low-born, their ability and moral character were far more capable than many of his high-ranking officials. The early promotion was beneficial to Da Ling. The Emperor did not have any considerations and immediately made an exception to promote those people.
However, he did not want those people to misunderstand that he was the Emperor. The Emperor had said at that time that the candidate was proposed by the Crown Prince. He did not know these people at all.
Those people had been promoted for more than two months now. Although it wasn’t a long time, everyone could see their outstanding abilities.
They had already agreed to go to the Imperial Capital together before the new year. Xue Yan had no objections at all. He nodded. “Then shall we set off on the twenty-fifth?”
“Yes.” Jiang Yue had no objections either. Originally, she had also thought that they should set off on this day.
They also asked Xue Sifu to help them lie to their family, saying that they would go around to see what shops they could buy and give advice. They also said that they would be out for at most half a month.
Since the new Emperor was going to ascend the throne, Shao Zhongxi had to return to the capital city. Therefore, on the 25th, he and Qi Yin waited in town until they met up with Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Xue Sifu before heading to the capital city together.
Shao Zhongxi had stayed in Locust Village the last time Jiang Yue and Xue Yan went on a long trip. Now that Shao Zhongxi was going to the Imperial Capital, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan arranged for more secret guards to secretly keep an eye on the surrounding villages just in case.
On the morning of the 29th, Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, Xue Sifu, Shao Zhongxi, and Qi Yin arrived at the capital city on horseback.
Shao Zhongxi sent Xue Yan, the Crown Prince, to the Eastern Palace before bringing Qi Yin back to the Public House.
Jiang Yue and Xue Sifu stayed in the Eastern Palace with Xue Yan.
The palace where Xue Yan was going to live was majestic. It was magnificent, and its design was astonishing. Although Xue Sifu had always been quite calm, it was still quite novel to see such a palace for the first time. He took advantage of the time when Xue Yan was changing into the Crown Prince’s clothes to stroll around the Eastern Palace with Jiang Yue.
Xue Yan was dressed in royal attire and looked even more extraordinary. After he was done, he still didn’t see Jiang Yue and Xue Sifu return, so he went to look for Jiang Yue and Xue Sifu.
