Zhao Li began by saying, “Regarding the matter of leading the troops for the military exercise, this emperor has great expectations for the two of you and hopes that the two of you can be of one heart and one mind as you help this emperor achieve his goals.”

As a place that was abundant in ore and had high grain production, Zhangjun was truly a lurking danger that was waiting to happen.  Right now, there would be a shortage of grain even after the autumn harvest, and Zhangjun's granaries were empty. He could use the previous excuse of a grain shortage to send ten thousand soldiers over there as a military exercise. If Zhangjun Prince was unyielding, he would find an excuse to attack his fiefdom. If Zhangjun Prince was meek, he would collect all of the ore produced in Zhangjun by imposing a tariff. Either way, he would remove this threat through the use of a strong army.

Having no idea about the recent events in the palace, Ji Man peacefully slept the night away and even had a good dream that night. She woke up feeling refreshed.

Zhao Li had remained sitting in Zichen Hall. He summoned the eunuch inside and asked, "What happened outside?"

Trembling with fear, the eunuch knelt down and said, "The general came here without notice. Kangyuan Junzhu had already left with him."

Zhao Li swept the wine cup off the table and very angrily asked, "Why did no one come here to report that he had entered the palace?

Wen Wan's smile slightly stiffened.

Ning Yuxuan quietly said, "Dad will bring teacher along the next I come, okay?"

Haohao obediently nodded. "En." Then, with his little hand around Ning Yuxuan's neck, he vigorously cuddled him.

From the position of the sun in the sky, it was about that time. A young eunuch came running over and whispered something into Ning Yuxuan's ear. Ning Yuxuan nodded and said to Wen Wan, “Go to the western entrance and tell my cousin it's time for him to go over there and surprise the junzhu."

Ning Mingjie had brought up the request without thinking because it wouldn't be too inconvenient. Since Yuxuan wasn't willing to deliver the gift, he would just order a servant to do so instead. But, Yuxuan's mood seemed kind of strange today. One moment he was gloomy, and the next moment he was fine.

The topic was changed to something else, and Ning Yuxuan invited his cousin to stay for lunch. Ning Mingjie agreed.
