After Zhu Gui and Xu Miaoqing returned to the post house for one night, they were allowed to return to the Daiwang's Mansion the next day.

This made the two breathe a sigh of relief.

However, as soon as they settled their things, before Zhu Gui could ask about the caravan, a little eunuch hurriedly came to the palace.

This made Zhu Gui think that the emperor was going to summon him again.

But after the other party only handed him a letter, he left in a hurry.

This made Zhu Gui a little puzzled, the other party was obviously not a eunuch who announced the decree, otherwise it would not be so pompous.

It was only after he opened the letter that he understood why.

It turned out that this was a letter sent to him by his biological mother, Concubine Guo Hui, asking him to go to Xu's mansion to meet her.

Zhu Gui did not suspect him, and immediately called Xu Miaoqing and explained the matter to him.

It just so happened that the two of them were going to visit Xu Mansion recently.

As soon as the two of them came out of the palace, someone immediately noticed it, and the situation of 'empty alleys' quickly appeared on the streets.

This made Zhu Gui cry and laugh.

Fortunately, he had already prepared an ordinary carriage for this caravan.

The prince's exclusive carriage is too recognizable, and whether he sits or not is obviously a result.

In this case, Zhu Gui felt the prosperity of Nanjing City for a long time along the way.

However, he can be regarded as a person who has seen the 'great world', not only did not indulge in it, but made a plan for the future development plan of the Datong Chamber of Commerce in Nanjing.

From the special memory of 'real estate' in later generations, Zhu Gui decided to smash a few properties on the most prosperous streets in Nanjing City through various means for the use of the Datong Chamber of Commerce.

While thinking about it, he chatted with Xu Miaoqing, and after half a pillar of incense, the carriage finally came to Xu's mansion.

The gatekeeper of the Xu Mansion was a little surprised that such an inconspicuous carriage stopped in front of the Xu Mansion.

Because there is not a single person who frequents here who is not a prominent person.

He was about to step forward to drive the other party away, when he saw a young man in a red python robe pulling a young girl out of the carriage.

This gatekeeper may not have any impression of the acting king, but he will never dare to forget his second lady.

But isn't the second lady married to the acting king? Could it be that the young man in front of him is the 'infamous' acting king?

Thinking of this, the gatekeeper knelt down directly.

"The little one says hello to the acting king and the acting princess."

"Uncle De, get up." Xu Miaoqing is still very kind to her servants.

Zhu Gui didn't say anything, but walked straight towards the gate.

The palace maids accompanying Concubine Guo Hui on the left and right of the door were waiting there, and when they saw the acting king, they immediately saluted and said goodbye, and then led the way in front.

Not long after, Zhu Gui took a step ahead of Xu Miaoqing and came to a small courtyard by the garden in Xu's mansion.

Concubine Guo Hui was walking around under a laurel tree in the courtyard with a handkerchief on her face.

"Eniang, Erchen is here." When Zhu Gui saw Concubine Guo Hui, some familiar memories came alive in his mind, and his chest warmed up.

Concubine Guo Hui turned around in surprise, walked a few steps in front of Zhu Gui, and took his hand to look at him carefully.

"Child, you're thinner and taller, it's hard to be alone in such a far place, isn't it?" When Guo Huifei said this, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Eniang, this is the responsibility of Erchen as a descendant of the Zhu family, you don't have to worry, Erchen is doing well during this time." Seeing this, Zhu Gui comforted him.

Concubine Guo Hui's expression eased slightly, but she immediately frowned and said, "The emperor is in such a hurry to summon you to Beijing, is it because of the accident that happened in the imperial garden?" How did you get involved with this? The emperor doesn't have any difficulties for you, right? ”

Zhu Gui sighed, could only continue to comfort herself, and said some of the inside story lightly, but Concubine Guo Hui covered her mouth in surprise when she heard it.

The mother and son talked for half an hour, and Concubine Guo Hui asked Zhu Gui about his situation in Yunzhou carefully, even including the details of his daily life, and sent him some more subordinates, but Zhu Gui refused.

But soon, Xu Guogong walked in from outside with Xu Miaoqing.

"Concubine Niangniang, it's not early." Xu Guogong reminded.

Concubine Guo Hui sighed and looked at Zhu Gui reluctantly, but finally stood up and said: "Farewell today, I don't know when our mother and son will see each other again, you will have to write more letters to Eniang in the future." ”

It turned out that Concubine Guo Hui secretly ran out of the palace to see Zhu Gui, if the emperor knew about it, it would be a big or small crime.

But if it weren't for that, she wouldn't have seen Zhu Gui anywhere else.

Zhu Gui was also a little melancholy in his heart, and finally exchanged a few large bags of cosmetics and nutritional products in the system store and handed them to Concubine Guo Huifei's accompanying palace maids, and then said goodbye.

After Concubine Guo Hui left, the atmosphere in the room was a little dull.

Xu Miaoqing walked up to Zhu Gui and comforted him softly.

Xu Guogong waited for Zhu Gui's mood to recover before he said: "Last night's incident, this prince has already learned about it from Qing'er, I don't know what the acting king plans for the future?" ”

Zhu Gui exhaled, restrained his emotions and said, "This king wants to develop a trade route in peace. ”

"Trade routes?" Xu Guogong looked at the young man in front of him inexplicably.

He obviously asked about Zhu Gui's political future, but the other party did not answer the question.

Moreover, the tradition of valuing agriculture and light commerce in the Ming Dynasty has always been very serious, not to mention that this is still at the feet of the Son of Heaven, even if he is the prince, he can't change this situation.

In desperation, Xu Guogong had no choice but to continue to ask: "Do you think the acting king can still go back to Yunzhou?" Will the emperor implicate you because of what happened a few days ago? ”

Zhu Gui looked at Xu Guogong's probing eyes, and then understood what he meant, so he said: "This king thinks not, this king has explained things very clearly last night, as long as the emperor does not have amnesia, he will not be exempted from the position of vassal king of this king for no reason." ”

However, his remarks obviously did not reassure Xu Guogong, and at the same time, he also understood that the little prince in front of him did not seem to understand his own situation, or the emperor's attitude towards him.

However, the other party is the prince after all, even if Xu Zuyin is the prince of the country, he can't commit any offense.

I could only instruct: "Although the acting king has this kind of awareness, it is better to be careful, you still have to keep a low profile during this time, there are many people in Nanjing City staring at you, and you must not make any mistakes at this time." ”

"Staring at me? Who will be staring at me? ”

Zhu Gui asked a little strangely.

However, he immediately realized that this was the evil deeds committed by Zhu Gui's 'predecessor', but at this time, it could only be borne by him.

"Thank you for the admonition of the prince, this king knows, if there is nothing else to do, this king wants to go back and rest first."
