The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

Chapter 54 The Prince Visits

When Su Lun heard Qingfeng's voice, he stood up from his seat in a hurry, walked to the door in two steps, and quickly opened the door: "Qingfeng, I'm here, who's here?"

Qingfeng bowed and replied, "Captain Su, the Crown Prince is here to visit." Upon hearing this, Su Lun's face instantly became serious, "Where is the Crown Prince now? Let's go and greet him!"

Qingfeng quickly replied, "Captain Su, don't worry. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is drinking tea in the hall right now, and Qingsong is serving him."

Knowing that the prince was safe and sound and was drinking tea leisurely, Su Lun felt relieved. However, he still did not dare to take it lightly, so he quickened his pace and walked towards the hall.

As soon as he stepped into the living room, Su Lun shouted loudly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has arrived. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!" After that, he knelt on his knees without hesitation and kowtowed.

Seeing this, Xie Tianlin smiled and said softly: "Captain Su, please get up quickly. I have been very busy with state affairs recently, and I finally got some time off today. I have not yet thanked Captain Su in person for saving me many times." Xie Tianlin's tone was very gentle and kind.

"Your Highness, you are too kind. Protecting Your Highness is the unshirkable responsibility of every citizen of Dashun. How dare Su Lun take credit for it? Moreover, I have already received great love from Your Majesty and Your Highness, and have been bestowed with many generous rewards. I am extremely ashamed..." Su Lun responded in panic.

"Captain Su, don't be afraid. This reward is what you deserve. I wonder how your injury has recovered in recent days? Are you getting used to the new mansion?" Xie Tianlin asked with concern.

Su Lun hurriedly bowed and responded apprehensively: "Thanks to your care, Your Highness, and the miraculous medicine from the General's Mansion, my injuries are almost healed. And with the help of Qingfeng and Qingsong, everything in the mansion is going smoothly now."

"That's great. The elixir in the General's Mansion is indeed well-deserved of its reputation. But Captain Su still can't take it lightly. It's best to recuperate and take care of himself. Let's do this, Qingsong will follow me back to the palace, and Qingfeng will stay and serve as your right-hand man." Xie Tianlin ordered in a gentle voice.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Qingfeng immediately bowed and accepted the order.

Su Lun was a little hesitant when he saw this, and said with difficulty: "Your Highness, this move is not unfair to Qingfeng... Isn't it a bit of a waste of talent..."

"Haha, Captain Su, don't be too modest. I have high hopes for you." Xie Tianlin comforted with a bright smile.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. Su Lun will do his best to serve the court!" Upon hearing this, Su Lun kowtowed again to express his gratitude and expressed that he would be loyal to the court until death.

"In one month, the palace examination, which is held every three years, will begin. At that time, all the candidates from Dashun will flock to the capital like a tide. Since many positions are vacant now, this imperial examination is particularly critical. The first task I give you is to lead a team to assist Jingzhao Yin in maintaining the public security and order of the capital and ensure that nothing goes wrong. Are you capable of this arduous task?" Xie Tianlin said solemnly.

"Su Lun must go all out and live up to his mission!"

"Very good. In ten days, you will report to the Protector General's Mansion. General Xiao is not only brave and good at fighting, but also very cherishes and values ​​talents. You will definitely learn a lot from following him."

"As you command! I am very grateful." Su Lun stood up and saluted respectfully. After receiving the task, he truly realized that he was shouldering a heavy responsibility.

"The Mid-Autumn Festival will be a few days after the Autumn Examination. This year, I plan to hold a wonderful martial arts competition. I hope you can come to the palace with General Xiao to participate in this event." Xie Tianlin changed the subject and said with a smile.

Su Lun showed a little surprise on his face, but he knew that he only needed to obey the order and did not need to ask too much about the reason. So, he knelt down without hesitation to thank the emperor: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Xie Tianlin took out a token from his bosom, gently handed it to Su Lun, and said: "This is a token of the East Palace. If there is an emergency, you can send Qingfeng to deliver this token to the East Palace. If it is urgent and cannot be delivered to the East Palace in time, you can also send it to the General's Mansion."

Su Lun looked at the token in his hand, feeling terrified, and quickly declined, "Your Highness, this is such a precious item, Su Lun cannot afford it..."

However, Xie Tianlin's tone was firm and unquestionable: "Captain Su, don't worry. The current situation is turbulent, and it may come in handy in the future..."

"Yes, sir." Su Lun had no choice but to take the token respectfully.

Suddenly, Xie Tianlin remembered that Su Lun had mentioned that he wanted to treat his brother's leg injury, so he said with concern: "Oh, by the way, I remember that Captain Su once said that he wanted to heal your brother's leg disease. You can go to Doctor Yao's residence with this token, and he will do his best."

Su Lun was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, Your Highness! I will never forget your kindness!" His elder brother's injury has always been a concern for him. If he could find a good doctor to heal his elder brother's leg, he would be willing to do anything.

"Qingfeng, when you are free, explain the situation in the court and the network of relationships in the palace in detail to Captain Su. It will definitely come in handy in the future. I still have a lot of affairs to deal with in the court, so I will go back first..." Xie Tianlin instructed.

"As you command, please take your time, Your Highness." After Su Lun and Qing Feng sent Xie Tianlin to the door, Su Lun noticed that there was an extremely gorgeous carriage parked in front of his mansion, and there were several guards guarding it. When they saw Xie Tianlin coming out, the guards saluted and shouted in unison: "Your Highness!" Su Lun muttered to himself: That's right, how could His Highness the Crown Prince go out without strict security measures!

Xie Tianlin waved his hand, then turned around to face Su Lun and said softly, "Captain Su, there's no need to see me off. There are so many people outside, so it's better not to make a fuss. Just go and get busy."

"Yes, I look forward to seeing you off, Your Highness. Take care."

Su Lun and Qing Feng hurriedly bowed and watched Xie Tianlin and the others walk farther and farther away until they disappeared from their sight. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the Crown Prince was easygoing and kind, and he respected and cared for him, Su Lun could not help but feel a little nervous and uneasy in front of such a powerful person. He turned to look at Qingfeng beside him, and said apologetically: "I'm so sorry, Qingfeng. It's really a waste of your talent to let you stay with me..."

"Your Excellency is too kind!" Qingfeng waved his hands hurriedly and responded in panic, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has praised you highly. I believe you will be very successful and have a bright future in the future. It is my humble honor to be able to follow you!"

Hearing this, Su Lun couldn't help but blush, and said shyly: "Oh, you are really flattering me! I just came to the capital and I don't know anything. If I need anything in the future, I will have to ask for your advice."

"How dare I! If you have any questions or needs, I will tell you everything I know!" Qingfeng replied respectfully.

"Okay, we've been busy for so long, let's go in and take a break before we do other things. To be honest, I know nothing about managing the affairs of the mansion, so I'm sorry to trouble you to take care of it." The two talked as they walked.
