Ah Jiu walked out of the palace gates, his handsome face with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes suddenly turned somber. Yuan Ye approached with concern, wondering if something had happened in the palace.
"Your Highness?"
"First, go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Revenue, we'll talk upon returning to the mansion." Ah Jiu stepped onto a low stool to get into the carriage, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and contemplated what had been discussed with Emperor Yan in the main hall, then exhaled deeply after a long while.
After entering the Yamen of the Ministry of Revenue, Ah Jiu summoned his subordinates to prepare the memorial, as well as the plan for the commercial route cooperation, and lingered at the Yamen for half a day before leaving for the mansion.
The carriage bearing the Prince Jin's Mansion insignia moved steadily through the Capital City, with mounted guards clearing the way ahead, causing passersby to quickly make way.
