Since then, Mo Li has entered the palace much less frequently, because she is afraid of encountering Jiang Yu again. But accidents often happen when people least expect them.
One day, Xuanyuan Yi suddenly approached Mo Li and said to her, "Do you have a moment? I need to talk to you." Without waiting for Mo Li to agree, he pulled her aside. Mo Li broke free from Xuanyuan Yi's grasp, straightened her clothes, and said calmly, "My dear Crown Prince, why all the secrecy? Just say what you have to say."
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Yi looked around and then leaned in mysteriously to tell Mo Li about his plan: he intended to secretly take An ling-Yao out of the palace in a few days. At that time, Mo Li would pretend to be An ling-Yao and obediently stay at Changming Palace for a few days, while An ling-Yao would go out in Mo Li's identity for a few days. The arrangements with the Qingwu had already been made. As for Jiang Yu, they would take advantage of the time when he was out on official business to slip out. By the time he came to Changming Palace looking for An ling-Yao, they would both have already left the palace.
Mo Li listened to Xuanyuan Yi's plan and looked at him skeptically, asking, "Is your plan feasible? Don't blame me if we get caught. And what's your reason for leaving the palace? Will the Emperor allow it if you don't have a good reason?"
Xuanyuan Yi looked at Mo Li with disdain and replied, "Coward! Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, I'll take full responsibility. Is that okay with you? Do you agree? This is a chance for you and your Jiang brother Yu to be alone! As for the reason for leaving the palace, this time it's the Emperor's order for me to leave alone, okay?"
Mo Li looked puzzled and scratched the back of his head, "I don't quite understand. What is the Emperor's intention with this action?"
Xuanyuan Yi looked at Mo Li with a look of disbelief and said, "What do you know? This time it's because of the drought in Jizhou. Father wants me to oversee the disaster relief."
Mo Li suddenly realized and after a moment of thought, reluctantly agreed. Seeing Mo Li agree, Xuanyuan Yi went to ask An ling-Yao the next day, "Do you want to leave the palace and have some fun? I've already made arrangements."
Upon hearing this, An ling-Yao's eyes lit up, "Are you serious?"
Xuanyuan Yi nodded, "Really, we'll sneak out at that time. But don't tell Jiang Yu that guy!"
An ling-Yao looked puzzled, "Why not? Why can't I tell brother Yu when I go out?"
After hearing this, Xuanyuan Yi pondered for a long time before coming up with an excuse, "It's just that... it's just that... he might be busy at that time and can't go with us. If you tell him, it will just make him worry for no reason."
An Ling-Yao had a troubled expression, "Well, I guess we'll have to discuss it later. But what reason should we use to leave the palace?"
Xuanyuan Yi thought for a moment, then put on a look of sudden realization, "I've got it. Just so happens that there's a drought in the Jizhou region, and the Emperor is sending aid. I can apply to take Mo Li with me for the relief effort, and you can go in Mo Li's identity, right?"
"Okay, then if you don't have anything else, I'll leave first," An Ling-Yao said, turning to leave.
An ling-Yao was about to leave when Xuanyuan Yi grabbed her, "What's wrong with you? Weren't you fine before? Why are you suddenly so cold to me?"
An ling-Yao immediately broke free from Xuanyuan Yi's hand and bowed to him, "This is not appropriate, please behave yourself, Your Highness."
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Yi let go of An ling-Yao's hand, "Alright, alright. I'll come find you in a few days." With that, he turned and left.
On the night before departure, Xuanyuan Yi and Mo Li quietly arrived at Changming Palace. After carefully observing that Jiang Yu had not appeared, Xuanyuan Yi said to Mo Li, "You go and change clothes with Changle, I will go explain the situation to the Qingwu, go." After speaking, he hurried to find the Qingwu.
Meanwhile, Mo Li was exchanging clothes with An ling-Yao. But Xuanyuan Yi encountered a problem: Liutong did not agree because An ling-Yao left the palace without informing Jiang Yu in advance. Xuanyuan Yi had no choice but to take matters into his own hands, knocking out Liutong and then entrusting her to the Qingwu before hastily leaving.
Xuanyuan Yi held An ling-Yao's hand and ran all the way, only stopping after running out of Zhuque Gate.
An ling-Yao took a glance back at the towering palace walls, and suddenly felt as if she had traveled through time. Without looking back, she followed Xuanyuan Yi.
An ling-Yao stood bored outside the city walls of Luo Capital. After a while, she finally saw Xuanyuan Yi leading two horses in her direction. She waved to him, indicating that she was there. Xuanyuan Yi quickly ran towards An ling-Yao upon seeing her.
On the way, Xuanyuan Yi asked, "Should we head straight to Jizhou now, or take our time along the way? What do you think?"
An ling-Yao After a long silence, it was a while before she spoke, "Let's take care of business first. We can talk after we finish the business."
Xuanyuan Yi After a moment of contemplation, he nodded, "Alright, let's go to Jizhou first." Then he tugged on the reins.
From then on, the nearly year-long northern expedition began...
Because their primary purpose for this northern tour was to oversee the relief work in Jizhou, the two of them hurried non-stop towards the seat of Jizhou, Wei Commandery, Sing Capital county. After seven days of rushing, Xuanyuan Yi and his companion finally arrived in front of Sing Capital city. An ling-Yao looked at the city gate of Sing Capital and even showed a slight smile. He smiled at Xuanyuan Yi and said, "We finally arrived. But now there is still one problem, are you going to the disaster area directly as the crown prince?"
Xuanyuan Yi frowned at the words, pondered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "This is a problem. How about this, after entering the city, you go find a place to stay, and I will go directly to talk to the Inspector of Jizhou."
An ling-Yao's face changed instantly at the words, and she shook her head, "No, if you go to see the Inspector of Jizhou alone, it will be dangerous."
Xuanyuan Yi smiled and reassured, "It's okay, after all, I am the prince. He wouldn't dare to do anything to me, just a small inspector." With that, he turned and left.
Watching Xuanyuan Yi walking away, An ling-Yao felt a strange sensation rising in her heart. She could only take a deep breath and then turn away.
Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Yi arrived at the entrance of the Governor's office to request an audience, "Excuse me, is the Inspector of Jizhou currently in the mansion?"
The gatekeeper was taken aback by the question, and immediately all eyes turned to Xuanyuan Yi, scrutinizing him from head to toe. He replied, "Yes, he is. May I ask who you are, and what business do you have with the inspector? I will inform him accordingly."
Xuanyuan Yi straightened his clothes and stood with his hands folded, "I, as the current crown prince, Xuanyuan Yi, have come to discuss disaster relief with Liu, the Governor."
Upon hearing this, the household servants immediately knelt down and said, "We pay our respects to the crown prince. The crown prince is on an inspection tour, and we failed to welcome you from afar. Please forgive us, Your Highness."
Xuanyuan Yi stepped forward to help the leading servant up and said slowly, "I did not inform you in advance, so it is my fault. There is no need for such formality."
"The prince invites you inside. We will immediately go and inform the governor." After speaking, one person went straight to the study.
Xuanyuan Yi followed the servant to the inner hall and finally met the important figure of this visit, Inspector of Jizhou—Liu Xuan.
As soon as Liu Xuan saw Xuanyuan Yi, he immediately knelt down and paid his respects, "Inspector of Jizhou—Liu Xuan pays his respects to His Royal Highness the prince."
Xuanyuan Yi helped Liu Xuan up and said, "No need for formalities, Governor. I came here this time because Father Emperor wants me to assist the governor in disaster relief."
"The Crown Prince is too kind! Your presence is already the greatest encouragement to me."
