Before his departure, Ah Jiu first went to bid farewell to Empress Dowager Mo.
"Royal Mother, the forces in the Northern Region are complex. I don't know when I will be able to return from this journey. Please take great care of your health, especially as we are approaching Early Summer. You mustn't indulge in the coolness."
"Your Royal Mother understands. However, your safety is of utmost importance, regardless of whether the case is solved or not," Empress Dowager Mo said with a furrowed brow.
Ah Jiu nodded and deliberately said, "I've only returned from Nanyue for a few months, yet my Imperial Brother is already sending me to investigate this embezzlement case. It seems he's determined to keep me from enjoying my time with Royal Mother, hmph."
Empress Dowager Mo's smile briefly froze, then she patted his shoulder and teased, "Enough. Your Imperial Brother is right. Now that you are married, you should start achieving some accomplishments."
