Qu Xing Xu's Reason of Leaving

A vacation? Emperor Yun looked at him suspiciously. The Duke's request for a vacation after his expedition to the Northern region of the empire was too good to be true that the Emperor did not want to believe in it.

Qu Xing Xu might have never tried to involve himself in court matters, but that didn't mean that no court officials would approach him for advice and opinions on some state matters. Even if the Duke retires from the spotlight, the people who have been beside him and supported the Duke will surely not agree to let him go.

Such a fine young man and a leader, no one would be willing to let him go.

"There's no need to think too much about this, Your Majesty," said Qu Xing Xu as he started to stand up from his seat, "I am merely saying this because this is what I desire. So, please give me an order to go the Northern region."

"What about that lady from the Lin family?" asked the Emperor.
