Rebirth is not a dream.

King Nan and Su Daji walked side by side on the streets of Da'an. Both of them were dressed in ordinary people's clothes and looked like an ordinary couple.

"I didn't expect Da'an to be so prosperous!" Su Daji exclaimed. She looked at the shops on both sides of the street, with a wide variety of goods, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

The Southern King smiled and said, "Yes, Da'an is indeed more prosperous than Dayan, but the people here don't seem as happy as those in Beiyan."

Su Daji asked in confusion: "Why? Is it because the taxes in Da'an are too high?"

The Southern King shook his head and said, "No. Although Da'an is prosperous, people are bound by the desire for money and power. They are no longer pursuing simple happiness, but endless material enjoyment and vanity. Such a lifestyle makes people feel tired and empty, so even if they live a rich life, their hearts are still not truly satisfied. In contrast, although the people of Beiyan live a simple life, they pay attention to spiritual things such as family, friendship and love, so they are more likely to feel happy and happy."

Su Daji suddenly realized what was going on. She said with emotion: "I see, it seems that we cannot just look at the surface, we need to understand a country in depth to see its true side!"

King Nan nodded in agreement: "That's right, only through in-depth understanding can we find a solution to the problem. However, no matter what, Da'an is a place worth learning. I believe that as long as we work hard, Dayan will become a better place in the future."

Su Daji: "Your Majesty is right."

King Nan said thoughtfully: "Behind the prosperity of Da'an, there seems to be some unknown sorrow hidden." Su Daji nodded, he also noticed this.

The two continued walking and came to a restaurant. King Nan decided to go in and take a look, and learn about the customs and practices of Da'an.

After entering the restaurant, they found a corner and sat down. When the Southern King ordered the dishes, he asked the waiter about Da'an's recent situation. The waiter sighed and said, "Although Da'an is prosperous, the taxes are heavy and the people's lives are not easy."

King Nan and Su Daji looked at each other and thought to themselves. It seems that Da'an is not as beautiful as it seems. In the next journey, they need to be more careful to avoid getting into unnecessary trouble.

After eating and drinking, King Nan and Su Daji left the restaurant.

They strolled along the streets, thinking about the current situation in Daan.

"Da'an's prosperity is indeed enviable, but the problems behind it cannot be ignored." Nan Wangdao.

"If we in Dayan can pay attention to people's livelihood while developing the economy, perhaps we can avoid these problems." Su Daji said.

As they were talking, there was a sudden noise in front. King Nan and Su Daji looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a group of people gathered together, not knowing what they were looking at. They walked forward and squeezed into the crowd, and found a ragged boy in the middle, kneeling on the ground begging. On the ground in front of the boy, four big words "Selling oneself to bury father" were written with stones. King Nan saw this and felt sorry for him. He was about to take out money, but was stopped by Su Daji. "Your Highness, there is something strange about this matter." Su Daji whispered. King Nan frowned, "Why do you think so?" "It's really strange that no one helped in this busy city." Su Daji analyzed. King Nan nodded and motioned Su Daji to continue observing.

After a while, a young master came over with two servants, forcibly lifted up the boy's face and said, "I didn't expect that the young man is so handsome. I like him. Come and take him away." After saying that, he was about to pull the boy away.

The young man struggled and cried, "Master, spare my life! Please be kind and let me bury my father!"

The young master ignored the boy's pleas for mercy and ordered his servants, "Take a straw mat and take his father to the mass grave and bury him."

When the boy heard this, he cried even harder and kept begging.

People around started talking, but no one dared to step forward to stop it.

Su Daji looked at the scene in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel angry. She looked at the King of the South, hoping that he could come forward to solve the problem. However, the King of the South didn't seem to want to intervene, but just stood aside and watched quietly.

Su Daji knew that King Nan had his own ideas, so he stopped talking and continued to pay attention to the development of the situation.

The boy said: "Sir, I am selling myself to bury my father. How dare you bully me like this?"

"How can you kidnap someone in broad daylight? This is outrageous!" Prince Nan walked forward angrily and argued.

"Don't be angry, Your Majesty. This is a common occurrence. Let's leave here as soon as possible to avoid any further complications." Su Daji hurriedly advised.

The young master said arrogantly: "Where did this brat dare to meddle in my business?"

Suddenly, a long whip came from the air and hit the hand that was pulling the young man hard. The young master let go in pain and glared at the people behind him, but he saw a little girl in goose yellow clothes holding a whip, looking at him with a smile.

"Where did you come from, little girl? How dare you whip me!" the young master roared.

The little girl giggled and said, "I can't stand people like you who take advantage of your power to bully others, but you are quite interesting, and you look pretty good too. Why don't you come home with me? I will love you very much~" After saying that, she threw a coquettish glance at the young master.

Upon hearing this, the young master showed an obscene smile on his face and said, "So, little girl, you like to play this kind of game. Then this young master will play with you. Come on, go home with this young master, and I promise to make you feel extremely happy..." As he said that, he reached out to touch the girl's face.

The little girl nimbly avoided the young master's dirty hands and swung the whip in her hand again, this time directly hitting the young master's body, making him scream in pain.

"You bold and unruly person! How dare you attack my young master!" Upon seeing this, the servants immediately rushed up.

King Nan flashed and stood in front of the little girl, and knocked the servants to the ground in a few moves.

"Thank you for your help, sir." The little girl looked at the King of the South with gratitude, "I am Murong Xue, may I ask your name, sir?"

"My name is Chen Nan." King Nan replied with a smile.

"It's Mr. Chen. I'm honored to meet you." Murong Xue saluted, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Miss Murong, there is no need to be so polite." The Southern King helped Murong Xue up, "It is not suitable to stay here for long, let's leave first."

"Okay." Murong Xue nodded, then looked at the boy on the ground, "You can come with us too."

The group left the downtown area and came to a remote alley.

"Thank you both for saving me just now." The young man knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

Murong Xue said: "You're welcome. You can use this money to bury your father."

Young man: "Ms. Murong, where can I find you?"

Murong Xue said: "No need, we will meet if we are destined to do so."

Boy: "I will return the money to you." After saying that, the boy stood up and turned away.

The Southern King also bowed to Murong Xue and said, "I will leave first. Goodbye."

Soon after returning to the posthouse, one of the Nan Wang's men came to report, "Your Highness, the young master who was busy on the street today is the young master of the Empress Dowager Da'an's family. He is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and I wonder if this matter will cause any trouble if it gets to the Empress Dowager's ears."

After hearing this, the Southern Prince responded with disdain, "Humph! So it's the young master of the Cheng'en family. I didn't expect that he would dare to bully our Northern Yan! I will go to their emperor to ask for an explanation and see how the Da'an Emperor will protect this kid."

At this time, Su Daji on the side said with some concern: "But we came here to see Princess Mingyue after all, so it might not be a good idea to act like this. And it is not clear whether Mingyue has what we need. If so..."

Prince Nan interrupted him and said, "Didn't Prince Ding already go to see Princess Mingyue? Didn't he find what he wanted?"

Su Daji frowned slightly and said worriedly: "I don't know about this, but the emperor means to take Mingyue back to Beiyan. Will this cause any trouble?" There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

King Nan snorted coldly and said with disdain: "Old man, just take it back if you want to? Do you think Mingyue will listen?" He was confident in his judgment.

Su Daji frowned and asked in confusion: "Princess Mingyue seems to be quite sensible. She should recognize the emperor, right?" He tried to find the answer from Prince Nan's expression.

The Southern Prince disapproved and retorted: "You can't be sure. How can you be sure that Princess Mingyue would want to return to Beiyan, let alone a married princess." There was a cunning flash in his eyes.

Su Daji hesitated for a moment and said softly: "After all, she is your Highness's sister..." He seemed a little embarrassed to say it, but still mustered up the courage to say it.

The corners of King Nan's mouth rose slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile: "Who knows if she is my sister?" His words made Su Daji stunned.

Su Daji hurriedly explained: "Princess Mingyue and Queen Zhao look the same, that's right." His eyes were firm and sincere.

King Nan smiled coldly, with a hint of contempt in his tone: "Do you think Qingwu and King Li would want Princess Mingyue to follow them back to Beiyan?" His question made Su Daji fall into deep thought.

After thinking for a moment, Su Daji replied: "If the emperor insists on doing so, the emperor of Da'an will not stop him. After all, the emperor of Beiyan is Mingyue's father." His words revealed his analysis of the situation.

King Nan thought that this trip might not be as they expected, and something unexpected might happen.
