Upon entering the Imperial Palace, Marquis Xuanping received an imperial edict to head south immediately. The Emperor appointed him as the special minister for the southern inspection tour, temporarily taking over the role of Naval Commander of Nanhai City, with orders to exterminate bandits with the greatest speed and least cost and to recapture the southern islands.
Marquis Xuanping led five hundred cavalry and left the Capital City overnight, with Chang Jing also among those accompanying him.
After leaving the Mansion of Princess Xinyang, Gu Jiao took the carriage arranged by Yujin back to Bishui Alley.
The house was bustling with neighbors who came to see the newborn, a truly well-behaved and beautiful baby.
Eunuchs Qin and Wei also paid a visit.
