"Chu Moyuan, how long has this situation been going on?" Xia Youan had always thought Chu Moyuan was just living a lonely life. It turned out to be accompanied by danger.

"It all started on the way back to the capital from Qingcheng Mountain, so it only took a little over two months! Don't worry, they're just scoundrels, I can handle them.

"But on our way to Beichuan, we might face a large number of assassins. Are you afraid?" Chu Moyuan told Xia Youan truthfully.

"Fool, you forgot that I am invincible during the protection period of the Novice Village!"

"Yes! This is exactly why I insist on taking you away now."

After returning to the palace, Chu Moyuan told the emperor about his trip to the fiefdom.

"Why do you insist on taking the Beichuan area? Isn't the Jiangnan area I left for you good enough? The climate there is pleasant and the products are abundant. You can enjoy everything you have right there! Isn't it better than working hard for it yourself?"

The emperor was exhausted. He had paved the way for his beloved son. As long as he followed the path he had laid, he would soon achieve something and thus establish his prestige. However, once a son grows up, he is no longer under his mother's control!

"I know that following the path paved by my father will be smoother, but that's not what I want." Chu Moyuan replied calmly.

"what do you want?"

"The world is unified!"

"A world of peace? I was also filled with passion when I was young, but in the end, all my ambitions were buried in these piles of memorials! Since you want a world of peace, then go ahead. Your father will not stop you! I can hold this position for you for a few more years!"

The emperor's face is full of vicissitudes!

"Father, you know that this is not my ambition!"

"If you want the world to be one, you must sit in this position. Otherwise, everyone on the road to universal peace will jump out to block you!"

"When do you plan to leave?"

"The day after tomorrow!"

No one knows what the father and son talked about?

All we know is that the next day, an imperial edict was issued to appoint the second prince as King of Qi, with the fiefdom of Shaoyang; and the seventh prince as King of Chu, with the fiefdom of Beichuan. The edict required them to choose a day to go to their fiefdoms and not to return to the capital without an imperial edict.

These two places, one cold and the other filled with yellow sand, are both bitterly cold. Furthermore, both are located at border fortresses, and have been plagued by constant conflict for years, leaving the local people living in dire straits and making life extremely difficult. In short, they are very poor!

Therefore, the ministers speculated that these two princes must have offended the emperor and were exiled.

tsk~

What can the prince do? He still has to suffer in the bitter cold land of the border. He is even worse than them!

This is the bad nature of human beings. They are not afraid of their own suffering, but are afraid that others will live better than themselves!

"Dad, what do you think the emperor is up to?

Why can't I understand?

I used to think that he was deliberately being mean to the Second Prince and the Seventh Prince in front of us!

But if it was good, why would they give them such a barren place as a fiefdom?"

Concubine Shen said to Prime Minister Shen!

"It's hard to say, but we have to do what we should do and not be fooled by illusions! No matter what he thinks!" Shen Xiang looked like a thousand-year-old fox.

After Princess Xiaoyao learned about it, she immediately went to the palace to see Xia Youan.

"An An, I was thinking that since you just came back, you must have a lot of people to meet, so I wanted to wait until you were free before making an appointment with you.

But then I suddenly received the news that the Seventh Brother was going to his fiefdom, so I hurriedly brought Chun'er to see you! Are you going with the Seventh Brother?" Princess Xiaoyao asked with concern.

"Princess, yes! We will have the chance to meet again in the future!"

"Chun'er, call Sister Xia!"

Chun'er no longer remembers what happened back then, after all, she was still young. But she remembers the name Sister Xia, because the tablet and chocolate were both given to her by Sister Xia!

"Hello, Sister Xia, thank you for the chocolate! I love it!"

The 9-year-old Chun'er has grown up and is now graceful and elegant. Her height has reached the princess's shoulders. She will definitely be a tall beauty in the future and no longer be round and chubby.

"It's my honor to be liked by Chun'er! When Sister Xia comes to the capital again, I will definitely come to see you!"

Chu Moyuan and King Xiaoyao were talking about similar topics in the study.

"Since you've made up your mind, go ahead. If you have any troubles in the future, just send someone to pass on the message. The Emperor's uncle will definitely do his best to help you!

This is a little gift from the Emperor's uncle, please accept it! It will definitely be useful when you go to the north!" King Xiaoyao said as he handed Chu Moyuan a pile of silver notes.

"Thank you, uncle. I'm welcome!"

After King Xiaoyao and his family left, Chu Moyuan continued to pack the things he wanted to take away.

We didn't know when we would return, so we had to take all our belongings with us. Du Zuo, Du You, and Qing Ying were also going to follow, but Chu Moyuan asked the others to stay.

"Your Highness, please take me with you! I raised you, and I can't bear to leave you!" said Matron Liu, wiping her tears.

"Madam Liu, this journey of ours is destined to be a turbulent one. It will be dangerous to bring you along. Once I have settled everything, I will send someone to pick you and Eunuch Lu up." Chu Moyuan comforted Madam Liu.

After hearing what Chu Moyuan said, Nanny Liu had no choice but to give up!

The next morning, several familiar people saw them off at the city gate.

"Brother Mo, keep your word and don't forget us!" Song Jinbao said worriedly.

"Do not worry!"

Xie Youzhi didn't have so many feelings, as he would be able to go find Brother Mo soon.

Chu Linzhou didn’t have much to explain, he just asked Chu Moyuan to take good care of Xia Youan!

Someone from the General's Mansion also came, because Shan Ronghao was in Beichuan. They asked Chu Moyuan to take a letter to Shan Ronghao.

"Sorry for the trouble, King Chu!"

"General, please go back. I will make sure the letters and things are delivered to you safely."

After saying goodbye, Chu Moyuan left the capital with Xia Youan, Du Zuo, Du You, Qingying, and a thousand palace soldiers.

At first, Xia Youan thought they were going there by carriage or on horseback, and he was quite excited.

But looking at the thousand soldiers and the few convoys carrying supplies, he wondered, "Going there on foot? How long will it take?"

Chu Moyuan smiled and scratched Xia Youan's nose. "What? Are you scared before we even start walking?"

"Not really. I'm usually quite active, so walking is so easy!"

"Let's take a carriage for a while first, and we should be able to sleep well tonight. Starting tomorrow night, a large number of killers will probably appear, and we won't have a peaceful life until we reach our destination!" Chu Moyuan said solemnly.

Xia Youan thought to himself that the extreme adventure was about to begin!

Chu Moyuan helped Xia Youan get on the carriage, with Du Zuo driving, Qingying sitting beside him, and Du You riding a horse to protect them.

The roads in ancient times were uneven, and the wheels had no shock-absorbing treatment, so they swayed all the way.

Chu Moyuan was afraid that she would fall down because she couldn't sit steadily, so he pulled her into his arms, and Xia Youan fell asleep while swaying!
