Time passes quickly, and seven days have passed in the blink of an eye. The crowd began their journey back to Luo Capital.
Before leaving, Xuanyuan Yi said to Tuoba Xiang, "Your talents are outstanding. I wonder if you are interested in developing in Luo Capital. I assure you that in Luo Capital, both of your talents will shine. What do you think?"
Just as Tuoba Xiang was still pondering, Jiang Chen spoke up and asked Xuanyuan Yi, "Your Highness, I have a question. I'm not sure if I should ask."
Xuanyuan Yi nodded at the words and said lightly, "As long as it is within my ability, feel free to speak."
Jiang Chen bowed and said softly, "I, a commoner, do not possess the talent to govern the country like Tuoba Xiang. I only have some superficial medical skills. So I wish to study at the Imperial Hospital. I wonder if Your Highness would agree?"
Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Xuanyuan Yi stepped forward to help Jiang Chen up, and earnestly said, "Sir, I couldn't ask for more. I am extremely pleased that you think highly of me. In that case, I will discuss your request with my father. Do you have any other requests, sir?"
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and then said loudly, "If possible, I also hope..." Before Jiang Chen could finish speaking, Tuoba Xiang interrupted him. Jiang Chen looked at Tuoba Xiang with a puzzled expression and said, " Double-pupiled monster, what are you doing? I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Tuoba Xiang coldly glanced at Jiang Chen and said, "Don't speak randomly in front of His Highness."
After being glared at by Tuoba Xiang, Jiang Chen was suddenly frightened.
Xuanyuan Yi waved his hand to indicate that it was okay. He turned to Jiang Chen and said, "It's okay, you can speak freely, sir." Jiang Chen cautiously glanced at Tuoba Xiang. Seeing that Xuanyuan Yi had spoken, Tuoba Xiang could only helplessly wave his hand. Xuanyuan Yi said to Jiang Chen, "You don't need to look at him, you can speak directly."
Jiang Chen said slowly, "Actually, I just want to ask if I can become the exclusive doctor for a certain noble. Because, serving too many nobles, I'm afraid I might offend someone."
Xuanyuan Yi pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Alright, after I return to the palace, I will inquire for you and see if any of the concubines or noble ladies in the palace need a traveling physician. But I can't guarantee if this will work."
Jiang Chen thanked him with a bow. With that, the farce came to an end, and everyone set off on their journey to Luo Capital.
After more than ten days of rushing about, everyone finally arrived in Luo Capital. Jiang Chen from Jizhou and Mu Yue were like country folks entering the city, wandering around everywhere, everything was very novel. Only Tuoba Xiang stood calmly on the side, without any change in expression. Xuanyuan Yi was very surprised to see this and asked, "Has the Magistrate of Tuoba County been to Luo Capital before? If not, it's a bit too calm, isn't it?"
Tuoba Xiang shook his head at the mention, indicating that he had not been to Luo Capital. After speaking, he fell silent. The reason for Tuoba Xiang's silence was that if the Great Zhen Dynasty had not been destroyed, Xuanyuan Yi might have belonged to it at this moment. Even Jiang Chen didn't know that Tuoba Xiang was actually a royal descendant of the former dynasty. His grandfather was the prince of the former dynasty, Prince Yi Wu - Tuoba Qi. The reason Tuoba Xiang told both Xuanyuan Yi and Jiang Chen that he was not a descendant of the former dynasty was because Xuanyuan Yi's identity was too sensitive.
Tuoba Xiang fell into contemplation, and Xuanyuan Yi approached and asked, "Magistrate of Tuoba County, what are you thinking about?" Tuoba Xiang shook his head, indicating that it was nothing, and then quickly caught up. Outside the palace, Xuanyuan Yi instructed Han Ze, "Han Ze, first find a place for a few people to stay. Then find a good location in Luo Capital for the old master to open a medical clinic."
Han Ze cupped his hands in response, "Yes," and then led a few people away.
Xuanyuan Yi and An ling-Yao had not been back in the palace for long before they were summoned by Emperor Wu.
Under the guidance of the eunuch, the two arrived at the imperial study. As soon as they entered, they saw Mo Li standing on the side.
Before the two could react, they heard Emperor Wu's voice. Emperor Wu said in a deep voice, "You are quite bold! Now you dare to deceive the emperor! If this continues, will you dare to commit regicide in the future!"
Upon hearing this, the three immediately knelt down and apologized, "Your imperial majesty, please forgive us. We did not intend to deceive your imperial majesty."
Xuanyuan Yi took a step forward, his voice starting to stutter out of fear, "Father, please forgive me. I was the one who planned this. They were both forced into it. So if you want to punish someone, punish me!"
When these words were spoken, Emperor Wu became even angrier. He looked sternly at Xuanyuan Yi and said, "Very well, it's no wonder you are my crown prince. You dare to lead the way in deceiving the emperor."
"From today on, you cannot step out of the palace, do you hear me?"
Xuanyuan Yi immediately knelt down and thanked, "Your son obeys the command. Thank you, Father Emperor, for not killing me."
Then he turned to the eunuch beside him and said, "From now on, the Crown Prince must stay in the palace and cannot step out of it. You must keep a close eye on his whereabouts. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you accountable. Do you understand?" As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch knelt down and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Later, Emperor Wu looked at An ling-Yao and said coldly, "Considering you are an accomplice, I won't make things difficult for you." He then announced that An ling-Yao would be confined to Changming Palace and not allowed to step out of it until she got married.
After announcing the punishment for everyone, Emperor Wu immediately ordered the others to leave, saying, "Alright, Yi'er stay, everyone else can leave for now." The crowd bowed and left.
After everyone had gone, Emperor Wu helped Xuanyuan Yi up from the ground and said softly, " Yi'er, it's not that I want to punish you, but this time you really caused a big commotion. If I don't punish you, it will be difficult to silence the courtiers."
Xuanyuan Yi took a step back and respectfully said, "Your child knows that this matter is of great importance, and not punishing is really unacceptable. Your child thanks Father Emperor for sparing the palace maids of Mo Li, Changle, and Changming Palace."
Emperor Wu helplessly waved his hand and then changed the subject, "By the way, how is the situation in Jizhou?"
Xuanyuan Yi sighed helplessly and slowly said, "The situation is complicated. Your child has basically handled the drought situation, and the remaining matters in Inspector of Jizhou can be managed. As for the officialdom in Jizhou, corruption is very serious, from the officials in the counties to even the lowest-ranking County yamen stewards."
Emperor Wu heard this and became very angry, "What kind of person is Liu Xuan? Can't he just get rid of all these officials?"
Xuanyuan Yi immediately asked in return, "From the counties to the county yamen, there are too many people involved in between. If you get rid of them all at once, then there will only be the governor, the carriage, and the assistant working in the entire Jizhou. Can that work?"
Emperor Wu then realized this, sighed helplessly, and said slowly, "In that case, let me think about it first, and we'll talk about this later. By the way, what is the situation with the people you brought back?"
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Yi immediately had an idea: "Father, although there is currently no way to address the corruption in Jizhou, I have found two talented individuals there. One of them should be able to help."
Emperor Wu was overjoyed at the news and instructed Xuanyuan Yi to bring this person to him. He then dismissed Xuanyuan Yi. Xuanyuan Yi breathed a sigh of relief as he left the study.
This crisis had been averted for now, but the next one might not be so easily overcome.
