Qin Jun's first order of business upon returning to the capital was not to directly enter the palace, but to find an inn!
Although he was confident that Xiahou En's head could dispel his adoptive father's anger, he needed to choose the right moment, a time when he could restore his princely status in front of all the citizens!
And that time would be the upcoming visit from the special envoy of the Canglan Kingdom.
The Canglan Kingdom was located next to the Qianyue Kingdom, and while they were ostensibly allies on the surface, they were actually engaged in both overt competition and covert struggles.
Every five years, the two nations sent envoys to each other for exchange, and five years ago, it had been Qianyue Kingdom's turn to send people to the Canglan Kingdom. According to Qin Jun's memories, that visit had resulted in a significant loss for the Qianyue Kingdom, something officials dared not speak of.
