Xie Yao frowned slightly, but didn't ask any more questions. After getting on the carriage, she spoke softly, "I didn't expect that my father would let Shangguan Yue go."
Chu Han smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to think so much. There is no definite decision whether your father will kill someone or let him go. None of our many princes, including the officials, can guess what our father is thinking."
Xie Yao's frown deepened, "King Mu was deceived by Shangguan Yue, and he should not go back to plead for Shangguan Yue. However, my father suddenly ordered Shangguan Yue not to be severely punished, but to be exiled. For a while, I couldn't figure out the reason."
"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. My father always only looks at the purpose of doing things, regardless of the process, let alone what the person has done." Chu Han spoke slowly.
"You mean, even if he is a murderous maniac, if it is beneficial to my father, my father will not kill him? Even if he is a law-abiding commoner, if he accidentally offends my father, my father will still kill him to establish his authority?"
Xie Yao asked with deep eyes.
"It's not as serious as you said, but the truth is right." Chu Han did not shy away from this comment.
Xie Yao did not continue to ask, his eyes sparkling.
Obviously, Shangguan Yue still has use value for Emperor Zhaochu! But what is the use value?
However, the exile to the frontier is thousands of miles away and can only be done on foot. No one can predict what will happen on the way.
Among each group of exiles, less than 30% reached their destination alive. What's more, when they arrived at the border, they had to face a more difficult and cruel life. Therefore, being exiled is actually no different from death.
Letting Shangguan Yue embark on such a path where life is worse than death can be regarded as a kind of punishment for her.
…
The next day, the inn.
Princess Minghui was sitting by the window, flipping through a book in her hand, when Ruobing suddenly ran in, "Princess, the Emperor Wanqi Kingdom sent a letter!"
"Let me take a look." Princess Minghui closed the book, opened the letter and read it carefully, with a hint of joy at the corner of her mouth.
"Princess, why did the Emperor of Wanqi Kingdom come to see you?" Ruobing asked immediately after seeing Princess Minghui's happiness.
"He wants to grant a marriage." Princess Minghui carefully folded the letter and put it away, "Go and get paper and pen."
Ruobing immediately took out a pen and paper, "The princess can finally marry His Highness King Han! It's great!"
Princess Minghui took the pen, quickly wrote a letter, and put it in an envelope, "Tomorrow, send this letter to Princess Han."
Ruobing took it and was a little worried, "You want to see her? I'm afraid she may not agree."
"She promised to help me treat people. Now that they have arrived, she will definitely come." Princess Minghui's tone was calm, and her beautiful eyes were slightly dark.
"Now that Shangguan Yue has become a prisoner, such a big change has happened in Prince Han's Mansion. It is a good opportunity to take over Prince Han's Mansion. Now that the border is not peaceful, Wanqi Kingdom has no generals available. If you want to get help from Nanling Kingdom, you must
You must pass through this palace!"
"I want Princess Han to come down from the palace willingly."
Ruobing was stunned for a moment, "Princess, now that the General's Mansion is in a state of decline, Princess Han will definitely cling to King Han. Not to mention asking her to come down, even He Li will not agree to it."
"It doesn't matter, I have my own way." Princess Minghui smiled calmly, with a leisurely attitude as if she had everything under control.
…
Prince Han's Mansion.
Xie Yao had just gotten up and was getting ready to wash up.
Ziqing outside the door heard movement in the room, and immediately called softly: "Princess."
Last night, Wu Feng brought all the mistress's seals and placed them on the table in the outer room.
She was so happy that she almost laughed out loud.
I originally wanted to wait for the princess to come back and tell her this wonderful thing, but as soon as she came back, the princess went into the back room and fell asleep.
She knew that the princess had not slept the night before, so she did not have the heart to wake her up.
"Well, let's prepare breakfast." Xie Yao gave the order directly.
"The prince is here." Ziqing replied immediately.
"The prince is here? Let the prince come in." Xie Yao raised her eyebrows. Is there something wrong with him coming to see her so early?
Chu Han walked in with a smile on his face.
"What does the prince want from me?" Xie Yao glanced at him, who looked cheerful and in a good mood, and asked directly.
"You don't know what the king wants from you?" Chu Han raised his eyebrows slightly.
Xie Yao glanced at him angrily, "How do I know? I'll change my clothes first, and we'll talk about it later when we have breakfast."
"There's no rush to change. Come out for a moment." Chu Han saw that she was a little angry, with a doting smile flashing in his black eyes.
Then he went out to the outside first.
Xie Yao raised her eyebrows, put on some clothes and followed him out.
Chu Han is so mysterious, what is he doing?
After arriving in the outside room, Xie Yao glanced at it inadvertently and saw something on the table, wrapped in silk, which looked like a seal.
"This is the mistress's seal?" Xie Yao's heart moved and she guessed.
It was fast enough! It was delivered early in the morning!
"Open it and take a look." Chu Han stood aside leisurely, watching with gentle eyes.
Xie Yao opened the package directly and took out the seal inside.
The seal is made of jade, has some mixed patterns, and is tied with a green ribbon. It looks quite a bit like a mistress.
"This thing is under your control. In addition, Shan Quan will give you all the account books and other things in the mansion later. From now on, you will be the head mistress of Prince Han's mansion." Chu Han's tone sounded very serious.
Plain, with deep joy dancing in the depths of his black eyes.
"No, no, no!" When Xie Yao heard that she wanted to give her the account book, she quickly refused, "Just let Shan Quan manage the account book."
She had no problem with numbers at all, she just didn't want to tire herself out that much.
Even though she is the head of the house, she does not have to do everything herself. Some things can be left to others, and naturally they should be left to the people below.
Otherwise, in such a large palace, there would be so many trivial matters that one person would be exhausted to death if he was busy.
Chu Han saw the rejection on Xie Yao's face and his eyes flashed slightly, "You don't want to be in charge of the ledger?"
Xie Yao refused simply, "No!"
She knew that if she was in charge of the accounts, she would have many opportunities to deduct money.
However, firstly she doesn't do those things that are harmful to her heart, and secondly she doesn't value that little money.
As long as she wants to, she can open a restaurant casually, and money will flow directly into it.
Chu Han naturally didn't know Xie Yao's thoughts, so he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I will let Shan Quan continue to be in charge of the account book. I will discuss with you whenever possible."
Xie Yao then nodded.
I am only in charge of the seal and cover it when I have nothing to do, so it is quite leisurely.
She touched her stomach, which had been growling, and said, "Is there anything else? If nothing happens, please come back. I have to change clothes and have a meal."
"I have something else to do, so I won't have breakfast with you. You should prepare yourself and go to the military camp with me the day after tomorrow." Chu Han said with his eyes moving.
"What are you going to do?" Xie Yao asked. Chu Han rarely took the initiative to take her to the military camp.
