"Crown Prince, you also wish to go to Jiangnan?"
Yan Tian's probing gaze fell on Yan Xiao.
No one knew what the Emperor was thinking at this moment.
Yet Yan Xiao's expression remained exceedingly calm as he slowly spoke, "Father Emperor, the people are the foundation of the state. Now that Jiangnan is struck by disaster and the people are suffering, I, as the Crown Prince, ought to lend a hand."
Although the ministers who supported him couldn't fathom why he'd volunteer for this thankless and arduous task, they quickly stepped forward to echo his sentiment.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has a heart that sympathizes with the people. We admire it immensely," they said.
"Your Majesty, with the Crown Prince and the Princess going to Jiangnan, we believe that this disaster will be resolved as soon as possible."
"..."
Yan Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of emotion flickering in them.
Suddenly, he glanced at Chu Baihan and then asked, "Princess, what do you think?"
