He is just a Han prince, how important can he be!

All the civil servants from Jiangnan were almost going crazy.

If it were not impossible to replace the emperor now, they might try to replicate the tragedy of the previous emperor's death.

"But we've been away for so long, and His Majesty hasn't come out to see us. Is this matter hopeless?"

Just as the old minister was about to speak, he looked up at his colleagues around him, his eyes full of despair and helplessness.

A group of Jinyiwei came towards them with an imposing manner. Their footsteps echoed like thunder in the quiet street, which was frightening.

When these people arrived in front of the old minister, although they greeted him with smiles, the aura they exuded was like that of hungry and ferocious wolves, which made people shudder.

There was coldness and ruthlessness hidden in those eyes, as if he was ready to pounce on the prey in front of him at any time and devour it completely.

"Master Chen, please follow me."

The leading Jinyiwei spoke in a tone that brooked no refusal, with a hint of suppressed majesty in his voice.

The old minister suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the leader of the Jinyiwei in disbelief, with an expression of disbelief in his eyes.

This sudden invitation took him by surprise, and shook his heart like a bolt from the blue.

"This is impossible!"

The old minister cried out, his voice filled with shock and anxiety.

He never expected that the Jinyiwei would find him personally and invite him to follow him in this way.

Although I was shocked, the reality was right in front of me.

He knew that he could no longer escape and could only choose to follow.

Although he was reluctant, his reason told him that this was the only way out.

At the same time, He Dengzhuo in the palace ignored everything happening outside. His thoughts seemed to be isolated by an invisible barrier, and he was indifferent to everything in the outside world.

All attention was focused on informing Xiao Yanheng of the good news about Prince Han. It seemed that only this news could touch his heart.

"Your Majesty, Prince Han has reported safety! He said that although his guards suffered heavy losses, he has now returned to the capital safely!"

He and Deng Zhuo excitedly reported to Xiao Yanheng, unable to conceal their joy in their voices.

"Is this true?"

Upon hearing this rare good news, Xiao Yanheng immediately asked, with a look of surprise and worry between his brows, and it was obvious that he was particularly concerned about Prince Han's situation.

"Take him to the palace quickly!"

Xiao Yanheng said impatiently, his face full of anticipation of seeing the prince safe and sound.

The secret guard moved quietly, with light but extremely efficient steps. Not long after, Xiao Lishi appeared in front of Xiao Yanheng in good health.

After experiencing this incident, Xiao Lishi still had a mischievous smile on his face, and seemed to be indifferent to what had happened.

"Brother, I'm still eating, why are you in such a hurry?"

Xiao Lishi asked, his tone relaxed, as if he was completely unaware of the trouble he had caused to everyone.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yanheng suddenly felt that his previous worries seemed a little unnecessary.

After regaining his composure, he said calmly, "Remember, you must never be so careless again. If it weren't for the secret guards accompanying me, I wouldn't be able to find your remains even if I went to the Qiantang River myself!"

Xiao Lishi bowed his head and admitted his mistake. The smile on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a hint of guilt.

"Know that you are wrong?"

Xiao Yanheng asked calmly, without stopping the work in his hands.

Although he was dissatisfied, Xiao Lishi did not dare to say it out loud. He just nodded silently to indicate that he had realized his mistake.

Seeing this, Xiao Yanheng sighed and decided to ask if there were any other discoveries along the way.

When talking about his professional field, Xiao Lishi suddenly became excited and talked for half an hour without stopping. He talked about everything he had seen and heard along the way and his views on the skills of local embroidery ladies in a torrent of words and with great interest.

After listening to the report, Xiao Yanheng fell into deep thought, filtering out key information from the conversation and carefully considering every detail, hoping to find valuable information to help him formulate his next plan.

"Then we will start arranging for embroiderers from all over the country to learn how to use the new tools. I will explain the specific operation procedures in detail."

Xiao Yanheng looked at Xiao Lishi with deep eyes, as if he saw countless possibilities for the future through his eyes.

"You should have a plan in mind, right?"

Xiao Lishi immediately responded, "Yes, my Royal Highness. I will definitely see to it that this matter is completed to your satisfaction!"

He had already thought about the next steps in his mind and was about to take his leave, but suddenly he realized that he was still considered a missing person, and he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Xiao Lishi asked uncertainly, "Brother Emperor, do I need to let the outside world know that I'm returning to the capital?"

This question troubled him because he understood that different ways of handling the situation would lead to completely different consequences.

"No, keep a low profile. I have other plans for these people."

The emperor's words were firm and powerful, and it was obvious that he had more far-reaching plans for the situation in the court.

Only after receiving clear instructions did Xiao Lishi leave.

Xiao Yanheng was thinking about how to rectify the officials of the Jiangnan Group while maintaining support for another faction of ministers.

His mind was filled with complex strategies and trade-offs.

Shenzhen.

In the largest shopping mall, Su Yuan was carefully selecting a dress.

She walked among the dazzling array of clothes racks, and every piece of clothing was so exquisite that she was dazzled.

The dress I wore to Mrs. Wu’s birthday party last time is no longer wearable.

Although that dress is gorgeous, it was only suitable for one occasion. Wearing it again now would only look too old-fashioned.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.

These clothes are really expensive.

She felt distressed every time she went shopping, but she couldn't resist their temptation.

Yang Sheng had nothing to do so he could only sit there in a daze and complain.

"Because your current status is not that high. When you reach Situ's level, you will probably have more social engagements."

As he spoke, a hint of envy and helplessness flashed in his eyes.

Su Yuan agreed very much after hearing this.

She even felt a bit desperate. "I didn't understand it before, but now I feel sad that every penny I spent is not wise."

Her heart was filled with helplessness, but she gradually understood the hardships of life.

The clerk next to her saw the right moment and praised: "Ms. Su, you look so beautiful in this pink fishtail skirt!"

The tone is soft and makes people feel comfortable.

Su Yuan looked at herself in the mirror, and her exquisite image almost made her heart beat faster.

This pink fishtail skirt highlights her temperament, making her look noble and elegant.

"Are there any other colors or styles besides this skirt?"

Su Yuan didn't dislike the dress, she just felt that it no longer suited her.

She hopes to find one that suits her better.

The clerk said awkwardly, "Miss Su, we also have a red tube top. How about we show it to you?"

She tried to be polite, yet a little unsure.

Su Yuan nodded and thanked him politely.
