Xie Wenwu shook his head, "It's strange. After that Yushu escaped, he had no contact with King Chen's men and horses. It was as if he disappeared out of thin air. He had no intention of gathering people and horses to invade the palace and rescue King Chen."

"But King Han, you don't have to worry. I have asked people to strictly guard King Chen. Anyone who wants to approach King Chen must have you or me personally bring someone there. No messages will be accepted! This time, King Chen

It’s hard to fly without wings!”

Xie Wenwu had already made arrangements before going to see Emperor Zhaochu, and would never let Chu Ye escape!

"You are absolutely foolproof, just do what you want." After Chu Han finished speaking, he motioned for Xie Wenwu to get busy. He also wanted to take Xie Yao to rest for a while.

Xie Yao has been too tired for a while and must rest as soon as possible.

Xie Wenwu also understood, turned around and left without saying anything else.

"King Han, wait a moment!" Just as Chu Han was about to take Xie Yao away, Hong Ye suddenly chased him out of the Jinluan Palace and shouted.

"You came just in time. Once the officials change their views on me, the rest will be left to you." Chu Han saw Hong Ye and directly arranged a task.

"Don't make this mess for me yet! Tell me what do you think?" Hong Ye rushed directly to Chu Han with a questioning tone, "Since you didn't kill the emperor in public, why didn't you force him to abdicate?

Here you go, do you have to choose to forcefully proclaim the throne?"

"Although you have turned the situation around now, your reputation will inevitably be affected. Why? Do you think your reputation is too good?"

Hong Ye was very puzzled. Was Chu Han so blinded by victory that he did such a stupid thing?

Faced with Hong Ye's questioning, Chu Han did not immediately answer Hong Ye. Instead, he looked at Xie Yao and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. It's time for me to change my reputation and suppress all officials."

"You have also seen that the officials are the pillars of the country after all, and we need them to help govern the country."

Speaking of civil and military officials, Chu Han turned to look at Hong Ye with a cold expression, "You already have the list of courtiers who have been won over by King Chen. Do it as soon as possible."

He still needs hundreds of officials to govern the country, but he will not show mercy to those who should be dealt with.

"You don't need to remind me about this, I know it well." Seeing Chu Han change the subject, Hong Ye continued to ask without giving up, "You haven't said it yet, why do you have to ruin your reputation? Even if you become emperor, you can't treat officials with kindness.

, but there are plenty of good ways to use it, so why bother?”

Chu Han's face turned cold and he glared at Hong Ye.

Hong Ye was stunned, what did Chu Han mean?

"Prince Hong," Xie Yao smiled at Hong Ye, her smile was awkward for a moment, and her tone was calm, "The prince did this because of me."

She briefly described the situation at that time.

After listening to this, Hong Ye's face looked as if he had choked on a steamed bun. He froze for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly, "So that's it, I understand. In fact, it's not a big deal. You really need to be stricter with officials.

Otherwise, we won’t be able to convince the public.”

Hong Ye now understood the meaning of Chu Han's glance just now, so he changed his words.

"The officials are still in the Jinluan Palace. I have to go settle down and take my leave first." After Hong Ye finished speaking, he quickly went back without looking back, not staying for a moment.

He said that Chu Han, who was always rational, shouldn't do such a thing!

If it’s because of Xie Yao, it’s not surprising at all!

For Xie Yao, even if Chu Han killed Emperor Zhaochu in front of all the civil and military officials, he would not be surprised.

After Hong Ye left, without waiting for Xie Yao to speak, Chu Han said first: "Don't listen to his nonsense. Even if it doesn't have anything to do with you, I will declare a decree and forcefully ascend the throne! I have always treated people generously and let them take it for granted.

It’s as it should be.”

"It's time to let them know clearly that I only treat those who deserve it with kindness. When dealing with my enemies, I will always kill them without leaving any trace behind."

Xie Yao smiled, warm and harmonious, "I know. But what Hong Ye said is right. If something similar happens again, don't make your own decision. We will discuss it."

She understood Chu Han's heart for her, and she wanted to let her heart warm Chu Han.

Chu Han smiled lovingly and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I promise you that."

The two looked at each other and smiled before leaving to take a rest.

"Your Highness, I have discovered something." Just as they were about to leave, a guard suddenly appeared and bowed to report.

Xie Yao smiled bitterly. It seems that it is not easy to take a rest!

Fortunately she is not tired now.

When Chu Han saw the guard who came to report, his dark eyes darkened slightly, "What did you find about what I asked you to investigate?"

"Returning to the prince, I rushed to the house where Concubine Jing was previously housed. I searched the area around the house thoroughly and found the bodies of the three guards who protected Concubine Jing." the guard reported.

Xie Yao was also a little surprised. Concubine Jing had already been taken out of the palace by Chu Han's people, so how could she be caught by Chu Ye.

"How did you die?" Chu Han's voice was cold.

"Two of them were killed by others, and Guard Sun committed suicide." The guard did not dare to hide it and said truthfully.

Kill yourself?!

Xie Yao's eyes flickered, thinking of the guard of Prince Han's Palace who was bribed by Chu Ye, this guard Sun...

"Are there any other clues?"

"That's all I've found so far, and we're still investigating."

"If you find other clues, report them to me. Come on down."

"yes!"

After the guards retreated, Chu Han turned his head and looked at Xie Yao, who was a little tired, "I will send you to rest first."

"Let's go and take a look at our mother and concubine first." Xie Yao believed that Concubine Jing should know something about the Sun Guard who committed suicide.

If Guard Sun was really bribed by Chu Ye, then the guards of Prince Han's Palace around Chu Han might have to conduct a thorough investigation.

The current situation does not allow for any mistakes.

"You are already tired. Why don't I, the king, rest with you, and then go pay your respects to your mother and concubine tomorrow?" Chu Han advised softly.

He knew what she was worried about, but now that the overall situation was settled, she didn't need to work so hard.

"My mother and concubine must have been frightened today. Let's go and have a look. It won't take long to reassure my mother and concubine." Xie Yao insisted.

Although she is pregnant, her babies are quite strong today, and although she does feel a little tired, it doesn't matter.

"Okay, let's go over and sit for a while before leaving." Chu Han saw Xie Yao's persistence and nodded lovingly.

"Okay." Xie Yao smiled brightly.

A moment later, Jinghe Palace.

When Xie Yao saw Concubine Jing, although her face looked a little haggard, there was a hint of concern and eagerness in her eyes.

The concern is for Chu Han, the urgency...
