Chapter 396: Chu He takes care of the aftermath and shows his generosity again
Chao Sihai immediately apologized with a smile, "Madam Cao Fei, I am only delivering the Emperor's order. This is not my intention. How dare I offend an honorable person like you?"
Cao Yun'er's anger subsided a little. She looked at the phoenix seal that she had just been playing with in her hand, and reluctantly put it back into the box.
"take it."
Chao Sihai took it carefully and said, "By the way, Concubine Cao, the emperor also said that you are pregnant and you should not leave the palace for the next three months."
"What!" Cao Yun'er's face suddenly darkened, "Your Majesty, are you going to ban me from walking?"
"Yes." Chao Sihai responded indifferently.
Looking at Cao Yuner's expression, a smile quickly flashed across Chao Sihai's eyes.
"The slave retire."
Cao Yuner's legs went weak and she almost couldn't stand.
The maid beside her immediately supported her and said, "My queen, be careful."
"It seems that the status of the queen is still very important in the eyes of the emperor!"
She was just being too naive.
He thought he could replace the queen at will.
The queen is quite resourceful!
However, this is just the beginning. When she gives birth to a prince, she will have the support of the empress dowager. The queen is old and ugly, and the third prince is so mediocre. What can the queen use to compete with her!
……
Xiao Yan'an took the divorce letter and went straight to the government office.
Accompanied by Lord Jin, he met Liao Yunfei who was imprisoned.
When Liao Yunfei heard the noise, she immediately looked up.
When he saw it was Xiao Yanan, he rushed to the door of the cell.
"Prince, save me, I know I was wrong. Please, give me a chance. It's because I love you too much and I can't get your love that my heart is twisted and I have done so many wrong things." Liao Yunfei pleaded with tears in her eyes.
"Liao Yunfei, you deserve what you have today." Xiao Yan'an responded.
"Yes, it's my own fault." Liao Yunfei immediately agreed, "Prince, please don't kill me."
"Master Jin has already investigated the crime you committed. You should be thankful that no one has been killed. As for the crime you committed, it is not a serious one. Once the compensation is paid, you will be released."
Liao Yunfei immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She thought she was going to die for sure!
"Prince, from now on, I will no longer have any wishful thinking and will never bother you again. I am like a cat or a dog in your mansion." Liao Yunfei said immediately.
"No, you can't go back to the Prince's Mansion." Xiao Yan'an took out the divorce letter from his pocket and handed it to Liao Yunfei.
"This is my divorce letter, and it has the emperor's seal on it. Liao Yunfei, I have divorced you. From now on, you have nothing to do with me or the Prince's Mansion. I will give your things to Feng, and have them pack up and move out of the Prince's Mansion." After Xiao Yan'an finished speaking, he put away the divorce letter.
"No, no, Prince, please don't divorce me. I will never do anything that affects others or my wife again! I will stay in the Prince's mansion and be confined to my house for the rest of my life!" Liao Yunfei stretched out her hand eagerly, trying to grab Xiao Yan'an.
Xiao Yan'an took a step back and said, "From the beginning, I never thought of having anything to do with you. Now, it's finally over. I hope you can learn from your mistakes and be a good person in the future."
After saying that, Xiao Yan'an turned and left.
"Prince! Prince!" Liao Yunfei shouted loudly, watching Xiao Yan'an's figure disappear from her sight.
"Why, why do you treat me like this?" Liao Yunfei squatted on the ground, crying.
After leaving the prison in the government office, Xiao Yan'an felt relieved.
"Master Jin, can you do me a favor?"
"Prince, please speak."
"Please help spread the word that I divorced Liao Yunfei."
"This... Prince, I have an urgent case to deal with, so I'm sorry I can't keep you company." Jin Mingxue turned around and ran away.
Xiao Yan'an was quick to catch Jin Mingxue, "Why are you running? I'm not forcing you. If you don't want to publicize it, forget it."
"Thank you so much, Your Highness." Jin Mingxue immediately bowed deeply to Xiao Yan'an.
"Sir Jin, I want to thank you very much. Thank you Sir Jin for not fearing power and handling the case impartially, and for upholding justice for me and my wife." Xiao Yan'an bowed to Jin Mingxue.
"Prince, how can this humble official be worthy of your obeisance! You are almost joking with me!" Jin Mingxue muttered secretly in his heart: You talk as if you are not a noble, but you are the prince, the crown prince, and you are also of royal blood.
"Jin Mingxue, how about we be friends?" Xiao Yan'an patted Jin Mingxue's shoulder.
Jin Mingxue was stunned for a moment, looking at Xiao Yan'an's sincere eyes, and wanted to refuse, but for some reason, he nodded.
"From now on, we're friends. If there's anything I can help you with, just ask."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Since we are friends, don't call me Prince. Call me Yan An. I am older than you. I will call you Brother Mingxue."
After saying that, Xiao Yan'an even bowed his hands solemnly, "Brother Ming, you are polite."
Jin Mingxue shook his head helplessly and bowed in return.
"I'm going back home. Bye." Xiao Yan'an turned and left.
Jin Mingxue looked at Xiao Yan'an's back and did not move for a long time.
Friends? He actually became friends with the noble prince.
This was also the first friend in his life.
I suddenly felt warm in my heart.
……
The day after the Queen took back the Phoenix Seal, she summoned Ji Chuhe into the palace.
She really had a problem.
According to the verdict of the government office, *** needs to pay a large sum of money. The queen is really worried. She can't cut the expenses of the harem again, right?
If it is reduced further, the concubines in the harem might not be able to bear it.
She called Ji Chuhe over just to see if Ji Chuhe had any good way to solve the problem.
"Empress, I have an idea." Ji Chuhe spoke slowly.
"What's your idea? Tell me about it."
"Mrs. *** is leaving the capital to return to her husband's old house. She certainly can't take everything with her. Let her pick out some of what she can take with her. The rest, along with the goods in her clinic and shop, will all be sold to me. I will buy these things at normal prices. However, I can't afford so much money right now, so the Queen must allow me to buy on credit. I will also take over any debts that *** needs to pay."
"You can buy these goods on credit, but if you take over the compensation, I'm afraid the people will have to see the money immediately before they will give up. Otherwise, this matter will not be resolved satisfactorily. How can these goods be turned into cash immediately?"
The queen's worries are not without reason.
"Your Majesty, the people are actually very easy to negotiate with. Since I dare to take over, I will ensure that the consequences you are worried about will not happen. The people can choose to take all the compensation, or they can choose to choose what they need from my shop and deduct the corresponding money. I believe they will not refuse."
