Jiang Chen listened to Guard Wang's words, pondered for a moment, and then nodded slowly: "You are right, Guard Wang. The situation in the court is indeed complicated now. If I act rashly, it may bring greater danger to my mother."

He raised his head and looked at Guard Wang firmly: "Then let's go to Nangong's house.

I believe my uncle and his friends will provide me with the best protection, and we can discuss the next steps together."

Guard Wang breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that Jiang Chen's decision was wise.

"Guard Wang, I want to say goodbye to Xue'er. Can we carry out this plan tonight?" Jiang Chen suddenly said.

Guard Wang was stunned for a moment, then he understood who the "Xue'er" Jiang Chen was talking about was.

He nodded to show his understanding: "Of course, Master. Since you want to say goodbye to Miss Jiang properly, please do it as soon as possible. But please be sure to pay attention to safety and don't let her be involved in this storm."

Guard Wang paused, sighed, and seemed a little hesitant, but finally mustered up the courage to say, "Master, I have something to say but I don't know if I should say it."

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows, looked at Guard Wang sharply, and said in an unquestionable and domineering voice: "Speak!"

Guard Wang took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice steady: "Master, you are of noble status, the crown prince of a country. You will inherit the throne and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country in the future. And Miss Jiang, although beautiful and kind, is only from a peasant family and has a humble status. How can she be worthy of someone like you?"

After hearing this, Jiang Chen frowned and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He snorted coldly, his voice revealing an unquestionable firmness: "Guard Wang, you are wrong! Status and position are nothing but prejudices and shackles of the world. Xue'er is kind and innocent, and she loves me deeply. She is unique in my heart and no one can compare to her. What she gave me is the warmth and strength of my heart, which cannot be replaced by any status and position."

He paused, and his tone became more domineering: "My feelings, Jiang Chen, cannot be measured by any status. I will stick to my choice, protect Xue'er, and prevent her from getting hurt. If anyone dares to disrespect her because of this, I will make him pay a heavy price!"

Guard Wang was intimidated by Jiang Chen's aura. He lowered his head and dared not say anything more.

He understood that the young prince had made up his mind and no one could shake his conviction.

"Master, you have the same temper as the Queen, both are so persistent and determined." Guard Wang raised his head, with a hint of admiration in his tone, "In the royal family, although there are many things that are beyond one's control, I believe that as long as you can stick to your beliefs, you will be able to find your own way."

Jiang Chen nodded firmly, his voice full of unquestionable dominance: "I know it very well. Xue'er doesn't need to know my true identity, let alone the danger I'm about to face. But before I leave, I must give her a clear explanation."

Upon seeing this, Guard Wang immediately expressed his understanding and responded, "Master, please rest assured. I will make proper arrangements to ensure the safety of you and Miss Jiang. But please make sure to go and come back quickly and don't delay your plans tonight."

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, as if suppressing all his reluctance and anxiety in his heart. He turned to look at Guard Wang, with a firm light in his eyes: "Guard Wang, I'm ready. I must go in person for this operation."

Guard Wang nodded, his expression serious: "Master, I understand. I will do my best to protect you, but this journey is full of risks, and we cannot predict how long it will take. Please be mentally prepared."

Jiang Chen smiled coldly, his voice revealing an unquestionable arrogance: "I understand. But no matter how difficult the road ahead is, I must face it. For my mother and for the Daxuan Kingdom, I must not retreat."

He turned and looked in the direction of Xue'er's room. A hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, but was soon covered by a firm determination: "Xue'er, wait for me. This walk may take a long time, but I will definitely come back and give you a happy ending."

After saying that, Jiang Chen strode towards Xue'er's room without looking back. Guard Wang looked at his receding back and couldn't help but sigh at the master's domineering and determination.

On the other side, Jiang Xue was immersed in the quietness of the study, concentrating on drawing the planning map of Jiangjia Village and thinking about the next development plan. Suddenly, a crisp knock at the door interrupted her thoughts.

"Miss, I'll go open the door." Chen Yuxi stopped grinding the ink in her hands, quickly stood up and walked towards the door.

"Hey, Master Jiang Chen?" After Chen Yuxi opened the door, she was surprised to see Jiang Chen standing outside.

Jiang Xue in the study heard Chen Yuxi's voice and raised her head curiously towards the door: "Xi'er, who's here?"

Chen Yuxi turned around and looked at Jiang Xue, and replied, "Miss, it's Master Jiang Chen who is here."

Jiang Xue was slightly stunned, then put down the paintbrush in her hand and stood up: "Achen? Why is he here?"

At this time, Jiang Chen's voice came from the door, with unquestionable domineering: "Xi'er, please go out, Xue'er and I have something to talk about."

Chen Yuxi nodded in agreement: "Okay." After that, she turned and left the study, closing the door gently.

Seeing Chen Yuxi walking away, Jiang Chen pushed the door open and walked in, then turned around and gently closed the door. He walked in front of Jiang Xue and looked at her deeply: "Xue'er, I have something to talk to you about."

Jiang Xue was infected by Jiang Chen's sudden seriousness, and put away her previous relaxed attitude, looking at him seriously: "Achen, tell me, what's the matter?"

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, as if to calm his inner emotions, and then he slowly said: "Xue'er, I...I have to leave for a while."

Jiang Xue's face turned pale instantly after hearing this. She tightly grasped Jiang Chen's arm, her voice trembling with reluctance: "Leaving? So suddenly, you...can you tell me why? Where are you going? How long will you be gone?"

Jiang Chen looked at the worry and reluctance in Jiang Xue's eyes, and his heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife.

He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound steady: "Xue'er, there are some things I can't tell you in detail because they involve some important responsibilities and missions. But please believe me, I have no choice but to do this."

He gently stroked the back of Jiang Xue's hand and continued, "As for where I'm going, I can't tell you. And as for how long I'll be gone, I can't give you a definite answer. But please believe me, no matter how long it takes, I will definitely come back."

As Jiang Xue listened to Jiang Chen's words, tears began to well up in her eyes.

She knew that Jiang Chen's decision must not be an easy one, but she still couldn't hide her worry and fear.
