An hour later, Ning Qinghan and his entourage returned to the official road and headed towards Jiangnan.

"Xinghua, this palace has something to ask you, do you remember the days when you pretended to be me when you were in the Hou Mansion, this palace hopes that you will pretend to be this palace in the next few days, act in a low-key manner, and don't be discovered, okay?"

"Princess, no matter where you go, you have to promise the slave maid, you must take Granny Shen with you, she will have a lot of skills and is also sincere to you, take her slave and maid to rest assured, if you don't agree, the slave and maid will not agree to your request" Xinghua said heartily

"Okay, this palace promises you, don't worry, I will write to you in code words every once in a while to report your safety, don't worry" Ning Qinghan smiled and comforted

"Princess, you are weak, you must pay attention to your body, don't be too tired" Xinghua said worriedly,

"This palace will let Dongchen take you to find a mountain villa to live in, this palace may not go back for a year or two, in these two years, you and Dongchen will help this palace to open more shops in secret, this palace has some secret recipes, you take it back and Dongchen to think about it, while opening a shop, also open the intelligence pavilion, the specific operation of the palace is written on paper, you and Dongchen cooperate well, if there is any problem, write a letter to the palace at any time."

"Princess, can the slave take Xingyue over and take care of it together?" Xinghua thought of her sister who was far away in the capital, looked at Ning Qinghan expectantly, and asked

"Of course this is okay, but now the situation in the capital is unstable, and after a few months, the palace will arrange for someone to send Xingyue over," Ning Qinghan said gently

"Slave, thank you, princess," Xinghua said gratefully

"Okay, let Dongchen and Dongxue come over, and after the palace explains, let's go separately," Ning Qinghan said tiredly leaning on the carriage

"Yes, slave and maid will go"

—————

"Master," Dongchen and Dongxue stood in front of Ning Qinghan, arching their hands and asking for An Dao,

"Sit down," Ning Qinghan smiled gently, pressed the secret compartment under the table, and took out a box, "I talked to Xinghua about the future arrangements just now, Dongchen, this box contains all the things you and Xinghua need, destroy it immediately after reading and writing it down, don't reveal a single cent to the outside world, during my absence, in addition to cooperating with Xinghua, you also have to supervise Xinghua, if there is anything inappropriate about her behavior, you must tell me"

"Don't worry, the master, the subordinates will complete the task"

"Dongxue will stay by my side for this time, Dongchen, if you miss your sister, you can come over at any time, just send me a message in advance," Ning Qinghan said compassionately

"Thank you for your grace," Dongxue and Dongchen knelt down and saluted

"Hurry up," Ning Qinghan smiled, "Get ready, set off now, change to a simple carriage, take Granny Shen with you, and find a hidden mountain villa,"

"Master, before you said about buying a manor, my subordinates heard that there is a manor near Hangkou, and just now someone has already bought it, this is the title deed, and it cost a total of 1,000 taels of silver," Dongchen said respectfully

"Then go to this manor, send a few secret guards to check inside and out first, and then find a few maids, and I'll give you this thousand taels in a while," Ning Qinghan ordered, and then admonished, "My itinerary must be kept secret from the people in Beijing, and it must not be leaked."

"Don't worry, master, your subordinates will not say it"
