On a wide and quiet tree-lined path, a gorgeously decorated carriage slowly passed by. Surrounding the carriage were a group of agile and solemn guards, who stood guard on both sides of the carriage like loyal bodyguards.

Perhaps due to the long journey, there were some bumps along the way, but this carriage was extremely comfortable, as if it had been carefully designed to effectively reduce the fatigue of the journey.

Qing Ning leaned elegantly on the carriage, with two men sitting beside her. The one on the left was Fu Jingheng, who was handsome and elegant; and on the right sat a young man who looked exactly like Fu Jingheng, but looked a little immature. He was the Fu Jingheng in this time and space.

In the eyes of outsiders, there were only the master and the beautiful girl in the carriage.

Now, everyone knows that there is such a beautiful woman hidden in the Second Prince's mansion, and even the current emperor has heard of it. But the emperor did not make any comments on it, and seemed to be quite satisfied with his son's indulgence in women.

This undoubtedly gave the emperor a new handle, allowing him to better control Fu Jingheng. After all, a prince who is obsessed with love is relatively easier to manipulate and control. For the emperor, this is undoubtedly a profitable thing!

Moreover, this is the whetstone he found specially for the third brother. If he doesn't find any flaws, the third brother might become his whetstone in the end, which would be very bad!

At this moment, Qing Ning was holding a teacup in the carriage, savoring the tea carefully, but her expression was as twisted as a bun. To be honest, she really couldn't get used to drinking tea in this world.

"What is the purpose of your father sending you to Jiangnan this time?"

After spending some time together, she finally understood the emperor's strangeness. He didn't bother others, but he targeted the second prince. No matter when and where, he would scold him harshly. Now, everyone in the court knew that the emperor was dissatisfied with the second prince!

The young version of Fu Jingheng looked calm, as if he remained calm even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. There was no change in his facial expression, and the words that came out of his mouth were also plain and calm!

"Who knows what's wrong with him? Maybe it's just menopause, as you said."

Qing Ning was speechless after hearing this. She secretly complained in her heart: "This guy learns very quickly!" You know, those complaints she usually made were now put to practical use by him, and used just right!

Thinking back, she was just a little more indulgent in front of them, and sometimes she would inadvertently blurt out some confusing words.

Every time she encountered such a situation, she would patiently explain the meaning and usage of these words to them. After listening to them, the two guys would often suddenly understand and think that what she said made a lot of sense, so they would silently remember these words in their hearts.

"Okay, stop making trouble and talk about something serious!" The mature and steady Fu Jingheng looked at the two people in front of him. They were like children, talking to each other. He was really helpless and had to interrupt their extremely childish conversation.

After hearing his elder brother's words, the younger version of Fu Jingheng suddenly woke up from his dream. He quickly sat up straight and put away the playful look on his face.

"This trip to Jiangnan is mainly to investigate the case there. My father wants to severely punish those who are corrupt and accept bribes! However, the Jiangnan region is long away, and those guys who dare to engage in corruption often collude with each other and act like local tyrants and local emperors. If we really anger them, I'm afraid our own safety will be difficult to guarantee!" The young version of Fu Jingheng said with a serious face.

"Looking back at the past dynasties, which dynasty was not in chaos in Jiangnan? However, once you step into the territory of Jiangnan, you must hide in the dark and conduct your investigation. You must not easily reveal your true identity. In this way, you can ensure your personal safety."

After Qing Ning pondered for a moment, she suggested that he keep his real name secret and investigate the case in secret. At the same time, she also suggested arranging someone to disguise as the second prince and be responsible for the public operation. After all, Jiangnan is located in a remote area, far away from the capital, and the local people and officials may not have seen the second prince in person, so it is easy to confuse the real with the fake.

This will not only protect his safety, but also attract the attention of those people, thereby reducing the resistance to investigating the case! But the identity of the impostor needs to be carefully considered!

"Then who should we let pretend to be him?" Qing Ning had just finished speaking when she found that the two Fu Jinghengs, one big and one small, looked at her at the same time and teased her in a bad mood.

"Do you think I should be the one pretending? I'm a girl, aren't you afraid that you'll be exposed and discovered?"

"Miss, you are worrying too much. Those people would never have thought that the person pretending to be the second prince would be a little girl! Besides, with your intelligence and means, it would be a piece of cake to deal with those guys, right?"

Hearing his words, Qing Ning secretly complained in her heart, but finally looked at them reluctantly and agreed! After all, she was also very curious in her heart about how these officials would flatter her.

Taking this opportunity to have fun in Jiangnan seems to be a good choice! Anyway, these people can't hurt her at all, so can she do whatever she wants?

Not long after, the carriage quickly drove to a place not far from Jiangnan and slowly stopped. After Fu Jingheng explained the purpose of his trip to the guards, he got off the carriage with another Fu Jingheng.

The people he brought with him on this trip were all his confidants and were completely trustworthy. After the two left, Qing Ning was the only one left in the carriage. She moved her fingers slightly, and in the blink of an eye, the beautiful girl who was so beautiful that she could overwhelm the whole country instantly turned into a handsome and elegant young man!

The guards outside the carriage received orders from their master and will do their best to assist Miss Qingning in completing the task.

The carriage continued to move forward slowly, the wheels rolling and making a slight sound. Not long after, it drove into the Jiangnan area. The scenery here is picturesque and beautiful, like a colorful painting unfolding before our eyes.

As soon as we entered the city gate, the carriage suddenly stopped. I heard a respectful voice coming from outside the window:

\"Your Highness Liu Peng respectfully welcomes His Royal Highness the Second Prince!\"

\"Welcome to His Royal Highness the Second Prince...\"

Then, greetings continued to ring out one after another. Qing Ning sat in the car, pinched her throat lightly with her hands, and responded in a low and calm voice:

\"Get up!\"

Although the voice was not loud, it carried an irresistible majesty. Liu Peng quickly bowed to express his gratitude and said:

\"Thank you, Your Highness. I know that Your Highness must be exhausted after the long journey, so I specially prepared a quiet courtyard in advance for Your Highness to rest and recuperate.\"

Qing Ning nodded slightly to show her approval.

\"Well, that's good.\"

Liu Peng showed a happy expression and continued:

\"Then, Your Highness, please come with me and rest for a while. In the evening, I have prepared a sumptuous banquet to welcome Your Highness.\"

After that, he turned and led the carriage into the city. Along the way, Liu Peng waited carefully by her side, introducing Qing Ning to the scenery and historical sites along the way from time to time. Qing Ning listened quietly, occasionally making a few brief comments. Finally, they arrived in front of an elegant courtyard. Liu Peng personally stepped forward and opened the gate, inviting Qing Ning to get off the carriage.
