One sleepless night, Han Mo was so sleepy he could only yawn.
He took out that small booklet again, and Han Mo was truly troubled. Where on earth could this thing be hidden?
Although this study wasn't small, leaving it here still seemed somewhat inappropriate.
That woman was quite clever. If she really thought about it, she might figure out how he found it.
This was his current life-saving charm. If she found it, he would have no bargaining chips.
However, after pondering for a moment, Han Mo immediately had an idea.
Tucking the ledger into his embrace, he went directly to the bed in the study and lay down fully clothed.
"Second Brother, why are you sleeping here?"
As Han Mo groggily opened his eyes, it was Chun Tao's pretty face that appeared before him.
"There's an extra person in my room, so I had to come here!"
Han Mo stretched lazily and then stood up.
"But what about that person! She's being pursued by the authorities..."
The little maid glanced around to make sure no one was there, then lowered her voice and said.
"Now you know she's being pursued by the authorities?"
Han Mo rolled his eyes.
"Who knows who insisted last night that this woman wasn't a villain!"
"Even if she's not a villain, she's still a wanted criminal pursued by the authorities!"
The little maid mumbled softly.
"Alright, you hide her well. No matter who comes, she's not to be seen today. Go divide the rest of our brown sugar into six portions. When I return from the city today, she'll be my attendant concubine. Do you understand?"
Han Mo said with a smile.
"Take it all?"
The little maid asked with some confusion.
"Of course!"
Han Mo smiled.
He had taken so many tokens, and now it was time to pay some visits.
But, among these princes, he was still a bit troubled about who to visit first.
These princes all lived in Bianliang City on weekdays.
Even though His Majesty Huizong now had many descendants, with twenty-eight sons alone,
However, except for five who died in infancy, among the remaining twenty-three sons, only Prince Yun, Zhao Kai, truly had the ability to contend for the position of Crown Prince.
As for the other princes, even if they had the thought, they didn't have the ability now!
After all, the emperor's attitude was already quite clear. The Imperial City Department, an agency directly subordinate to the emperor, was now being managed by him.
This was clearly a form of tacit acknowledgment!
The officials throughout the court who liked to speculate, although they hadn't expressed their stance at this moment, some had already begun to secretly choose sides.
Some were even restless and preparing to help this prince.
However, due to ancestral rules, at this moment, they could only send subtle signals.
Logically speaking, it would be fine for him, a commoner, to visit directly.
After all, Han Mo was a transmigrator and knew the historical trajectory well.
Although Prince Yun was now very influential, he had significant flaws in his character.
His temper was too impetuous, which led to him being too hasty and losing the emperor's favor.
Although Han Mo was a small ant now, he bore the mark of the Han family.
Getting close to Zhao Kai at this time would bring disaster upon him in the future.
Although Emperor Qinzong of Song was only the emperor for one year and two months, he couldn't afford to underestimate him!
Who made it a feudal dynasty!
After much thought, Han Mo's eyes lit up.
"Second Brother, the things are all ready. Do you want Steward Xu to prepare a carriage for you?"
While Han Mo was lost in thought, the little maid had already prepared the items.
Seeing the little maid sweating profusely, Han Mo found it quite amusing.
"Since they've come, you don't need to tire yourself out with the things they can do. It's so cold, and you're sweating. Don't catch a cold later! I'll find Steward Xu myself!"
Han Mo spoke while pinching the little maid's cheek, then walked out with a smile.
"He just likes to bully people..."
Although she mumbled, Chun Tao's pretty face immediately turned red.
Originally, Han Mo should have gone to deliver brown sugar in a grand manner, and even lingered for a while in the residences of the princes.
It would have been best if he could have gotten a meal, but this time he decided to do the opposite!
Although Xu Sanbao hadn't slept all night, when he heard that Han Mo wanted to use a carriage, he was extra cautious and specifically asked his son Xu Fengnian to drive Han Mo.
"Young Master, where are we going?"
Xu Fengnian was only fourteen years old this year. Although he usually disdained Han Mo, today, under his father's instructions, his attitude towards Han Mo had softened considerably.
"Let's go to Prince Yun's mansion in Xianning Fang first! I have a lot of things to deliver today, and I'll probably have to visit all the princes' residences!"
Han Mo spoke while taking out six tokens from his sleeve.
Glancing at the dragon patterns on the seals, Xu Fengnian's expression instantly stiffened.
Immediately, his body, which had been leaning against the carriage, straightened up.
"What are you staring at? Move these things onto the carriage."
Seeing the shocked expression on his face, Han Mo was extremely satisfied.
"Yes!"
Xu Fengnian no longer dared to be arrogant and quickly got off the carriage to move all the items onto the vehicle.
He then eagerly lit the charcoal brazier on the carriage, took a hand warmer from somewhere, and carefully handed it to Han Mo before quickly sitting on the carriage shaft and driving the carriage out.
Although he was originally a servant of the princess's mansion, seeing the tokens Han Mo took out made him tremble with fear.
They arrived at Xianning Fang, located east of the imperial palace, and he could already feel the difference from other places.
There were already quite a few people waiting along the roadside, seemingly here to visit His Highness Prince Yun.
These people were also of all sorts, from all walks of life. After all, Prince Yun was at the height of his power, so there was no shortage of people coming to pledge allegiance.
"Stop, don't you know the rules?"
As Xu Fengnian was about to drive further, he was directly stopped by someone.
"Rules? What rules?"
Han Mo was also stunned and got off the carriage.
"Aren't you here to visit Prince Yun?"
Seeing Han Mo get off the carriage, the man became even more spirited.
"You could say that, but I don't know what rules are required to visit Prince Yun?"
Looking at the snot hanging on those people's faces, it seemed they had been waiting here for a long time.
"First, go over there and submit your calling card, then come back and queue up! You don't even know this basic rule, and you still dare to come to Prince Yun's mansion!"
"Calling card? What calling card?"
