Traveling through time and space

"Okay, let's just take these eight first. Go and take care of it, Imperial Concubine."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave. Princess Anle, please come to my Zilin Palace when you have time and chat with me."

"Yes, Imperial Concubine. I'll definitely visit you some other day." Su Yuanyuan bowed and saw her off. She walked out the door, and Butler Tian closed it behind her. "Father, the Imperial Concubine doesn't look very happy," Su Yuanyuan noticed. Although she was smiling, she was sad inside.

"Isn't she smiling all the time?"

"Father, she's using jokes to hide her inner pain."

"Why do you think she's unhappy?"

"She is my father's favorite concubine and the woman with the highest status in the harem. No one dares to bully her. Her son is also a good person.

"She must have felt her position was shaken, which was why she felt so sad. 'Father, is there going to be a beautiful woman entering the palace? Otherwise, nothing would have happened to make the Imperial Concubine so sad, right?' Su Yuanyuan analyzed.

"What a devilish girl, she can actually read her mind."

"Father, do you believe Yuanyuan can read minds?" Su Yuanyuan smiled and sat down at the seat next to him. "Father, Yuanyuan was just joking. She's just been observing people's expressions since she was a child, so she's a bit more careful. But, I heard that there haven't been any new people in the palace in so many years, and no children have been born. Father, it's time for you to choose some caring ones to give Yuanyuan more brothers and sisters."

"Father is old, stop teasing him."

"Father, you are not old at all. You are in your prime."

"Yes, Your Majesty, if you give birth to more princes, they will be able to better protect our Qingyang in the future." Unexpectedly, someone pushed the door open and came in without notifying.

"Zi Mo, you're here. You're your father's only son. You should have gotten married long ago and had more children for your Zhao family. Although you're my brother, I raised you with my own hands, just like my own son. There are three kinds of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants. You don't want me to feel guilty when I see the old prince in the future."

"Alright, Your Majesty, just a little more will do. I don't mind. Princess Anle, congratulations on your coming-of-age ceremony."

"Yuanyuan thanks the emperor's uncle." Su Yuanyuan returned the greeting.

"Princess Anle, this is my gift. Your Majesty, this is what you wanted." Prince De put a stack of something on his father's desk, and then took out a box and gave it to Su Yuanyuan.

"Yuanyuan thanks the emperor's uncle." Su Yuanyuan took the box and thanked him again.

The Emperor opened the thing that Prince De had brought, which was probably a letter or something, and looked through it carefully. "Yuanyuan, tell me the truth, what are you here for? It's not just to express your gratitude, is it?"

"Father, you are a very astute person. Yuanyuan does have something to do, but it's a personal matter. I need to borrow a few people with some experience. Yuanyuan needs to leave the capital."

"It's about the Cai family and their son."

"Father, you are so powerful. Nothing can be hidden from you. Yuanyuan cannot let my uncle and brother fall into other people's traps."

"Don't you hate them? They've hurt you time and time again."

"Yuanyuan just hates them. They are my mother's relatives, so how could Yuanyuan hate them? She just doesn't like them competing with her for the Su family's property. They haven't been very kind to Grandma either, but this is an internal conflict among the people. When their lives are in danger, Yuanyuan must save them. She can't let them be used for nothing and help others commit treachery."

"Stand up and talk. Come and look at this." The emperor pointed to the letter he had just read.

"Father, please take a look at this first." Su Yuanyuan also took out a piece of paper and placed it in front of his father.

"The mastermind behind this is the Crown Prince." The Emperor read it out. "Who gave you this?"

"I don't know. It must have been someone who went to the Princess's Mansion today. I don't know who put it in Yuanyuan's clothes or when." Su Yuanyuan read the letter calmly. "Oh my god, this silver was swapped when it was in the capital?" Su Yuanyuan couldn't believe how foolish her uncle was. "How could my uncle be so foolish? Father, my eldest brother went to my eldest uncle and wanted to secretly make up the 200,000 taels and give him the disaster relief silver first, but he didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect that they were also attacked. Someone came back to ask for help?" asked the emperor confidently.

"Yes, that person is now in the Princess's Mansion. Yuanyuan has to go and bring her brother back. They are in trouble, and Yuanyuan can't just sit back and watch."

"Your uncle is just a bookworm. The money was switched before he left Beijing, and he didn't even know about it."

"Father, is it true that someone framed my uncle? Is there anyone who wants to kill him?"

"Damn it! Didn't someone tell me? The man behind this is the prince."

"Yuanyuan doesn't believe this. Just based on these few words, you suspect the prince? Impossible," Su Yuanyuan joked.

"Why don't you believe it?"

"Father, this could only be someone else's prank, or someone trying to distract attention. The Crown Prince is the future ruler of a country, and it's impossible for him to do such a mean thing. Father, can you allow Yuanyuan to leave the capital immediately?"

"What's the point of you going? How can you help the Cai family father and son?"

"One person's plan is short, but two people's plan is long. Perhaps Yuanyuan can discuss something with big brother. Yuanyuan has no one around him who can be used, so I would like to ask the emperor to lend me a few people.

"This matter is far more complicated than you imagine. Father has people helping you secretly. No matter what, the disaster in the disaster area cannot be ignored."

"Yes, Father, Yuanyuan has found my elder brother and will go find my uncle."

"Your Majesty, I will go with you. There are some things that Princess Anle doesn't know. Rather than letting them figure it out and fall into other people's traps, I will go myself."

"It would be a bit of a waste of your talent to let you go, but it's good for you to go. I don't have to worry about Princess Anle's safety anymore. You have martial arts skills, but Yuanyuan doesn't. Yuanyuan, this is the dragon and phoenix jade pendant I carry with me. Take it out to show that it will protect your life when I am here in person and encounter danger. It is not something you can play with casually. With this jade pendant, no one in this world can bully you." The emperor took off the jade pendant he was wearing and put it in Su Yuanyuan's hand.

"Yuanyuan thanks you, father. Don't worry, I will never use it to bully others. I will be extremely cautious when using it." Su Yuanyuan knew the significance of the words "As if I were here in person" and knelt down to accept the jade pendant. "Yuanyuan thanks you, father, for your love."

"Zi Mo, first, you must protect Yuan Yuan. Second, investigate this matter thoroughly. Third, comfort the victims to prevent unrest. As for those who should be killed, you can make the decision yourself without returning to the palace for instructions. Yuan Yuan, the emperor knows that the eldest son of the Cai family has a close relationship with you, so the emperor has specially authorized you to use the post station. You can exchange horses every two hours so that you can reach Puji Mountain as soon as possible to save your eldest brother."

"Your Majesty, Yuanyuan thanks you." Su Yuanyuan thanked him again. The emperor waved his hand and Su Yuanyuan left. "Your Majesty, Uncle, Yuanyuan is leaving."

"Princess Anle, one hour later, at the South Gate," Prince De made way and Su Yuanyuan nodded.

"You three will follow me on a long journey," Su Yuanyuan forgot to tell them on the way back in the carriage.

"Master, what are we going to do?" Xiaoyue was very excited.

"Go to Puji Mountain to find the eldest master."

"Master, it's too far away. Xiaoyue can't feel it."

"It's okay. I believe he can protect himself. We'll set off immediately. Uncle Zhao, please drive faster. Among Dongmei, Xiao Qizi, Xiao Xuzi, who among them can drive a car and endure hardship?"

"Princess, the servants can all drive the carriage,"

"Really?" This news was a surprise to Su Yuanyuan, and she sighed, "You guys are omnipotent."

"Princess, you are too kind. The person the emperor chooses for you is naturally the best." Dongmei said proudly.

"Princess, I want to follow you too." Zhilin said.

"Can you ride a horse? Can you bear the hardships of living outdoors?" Rumei asked Zhilin.

"This servant will accompany the princess in the carriage."

"That won't do. The princess still needs to rest in the carriage."

"Okay, let's do it this way. Dongmei, Rumei, Xiamei, and Xiaoyue'er will follow. There will be four horses in one carriage. You can take turns driving the carriage and take a rest. Besides, there are the emperor's people following, so there is no need for too many people to go." Su Yuanyuan remembered that there was another person, "and another person will follow." Back to the gate of the mansion, "Go and pack your things. This princess will tell mother," the soldiers split into two groups, "and send someone to go to the kitchen to see if there is anything to eat in the kitchen. Let's eat something quickly. Let Mother Yan prepare the horses and tidy up the carriage and put it at the back door of the yard. After dinner, we will go out and meet them." Entering the mother's yard, the mother was sitting and drinking tea. "Mother,"

"I'm back and have met your father."

"Hello, Father. Yuanyuan is going on a long journey, probably for seven or eight days, so I came to tell Mother about it."

"Are you going to be gone for such a long time? Never mind, Mother won't ask any more questions. Just be careful out there. Do you want Mother to send a few guards to follow you?"

"Thank you, mother. Father has sent someone. Don't worry about his safety. Yuanyuan will take her leave now."

"Okay, be careful." The mother wanted to get up, but Su Yuanyuan held her down and stopped her from getting up. She went back to her yard. "Take two more sets of clothes with you," Su Yuanyuan instructed Dongmei. Her own clothes were too luxurious, and it was better to wear ordinary clothes for some occasions.

"Princess, the food is coming from the kitchen." Rumei followed in.
