Chapter 60 - The Other Way

Three days later, Yan Li and Jiang Siyue walked into the study and saw Chu Yi Chen sitting there reading the document.

Looking behind the bookshelf, he saw Zhuo Qingyan quietly sitting there, reading.

The two of them looked at each other and laughed. They also wanted to have this kind of peace and quiet beauty. Zhuo Qingyan's difference surprised them, and at the same time, they felt happy for Chu Yichen. His insistence was right.

"Why are you standing there giggling when you're here?" Chu Yi Chen said indifferently.

"We are here to deliver the New Year's gift, to deliver some fresh fruits from Kang Yang and Zhaonan. This time, there are many styles, half of our two residences are reserved, the rest are sent to your prince's mansion." Yan Li laughed.

This year is different from the previous years. There is someone in the house, didn't I hear that Zhuo Qingfan would also come to celebrate New Year together? "It's all treated like an extra dish …" Jiang Siyue said as well.

"From the sound of it, the two gongzis aren't planning to come to the Prince's Mansion to celebrate New Year's. Will they be here again after that year?" Zhuo Qingyan walked over with a map in her hand.

"Of course not …" Yan Li immediately replied: "Little Princess wouldn't reject us outside the door right?"

"Of course not. They are all prince's friends who have lived through life and death. I don't have that kind of ability, but I still have to thank you for the New Year's gift." As she spoke, she walked over to Chu Yi Chen's side.

He had originally wanted to pull her to sit with him in the chair, but she simply sat on the wooden seat and looked at the two of them, "Two gongzis shouldn't just be here to deliver gifts, right? If there's something you need to say, just ignore me. I'm just here to listen to the results."

The two of them looked at each other again before laughing again. Jiang Siyue said, "Wangfei is intelligent, I think she can probably guess the result as well."

Zhuo Qingyan shook her head. "I can't guess, but that His Majesty's thoughts are a bit hard to figure out, and I don't want to think about him. Anyway, it's just an attitude, there's still a chance for us to plunder his home and exile him away.

The two of them looked at each other in astonishment, then looked at Chu Yi Chen, thinking that he had said it to her. However, after seeing him shake his head, they understood, that this was the result of her own guesses.

Yet, this result was already eighty to ninety percent accurate.

She poured herself a glass of milk and took a sip.

Yan Li and Jiang Siyue nodded at the same time, and Yan Li said: "More or less, we have checked over the first stage of the Hou Mansion, Princess Chuan has already moved her family members to the Princess's residence, and all the items that she has collected have been confiscated, and because the two Masters have rendered meritorious service, they have been exempted from death penalty, and have been assigned to serve in Yinzhou for ten years. Also, once all the personnel involved in this case have verified, we will settle them all, so that more than half of the hall will be emptied."

"Then what about Zhuo Baiyuan?" Zhuo Qingyan asked indifferently.

"Ah?" Oh, no problem, he was really not involved in this case, it should have been handled directly by Xiao Jingyu and the two other people surnamed Hou, and there should also be matters regarding Hou Guangsheng inside, but he is already dead, and can't be questioned anymore … " Yan Li immediately replied.

"He really jumped out …" Zhuo Qingyan blinked.

Chu Yi Chen stretched out his hand to touch her head: "Silly girl, if he committed a crime, you would be the daughter of a sinner. You already have enough on you, and you still want to add more?"

Only now did Zhuo Qingyan understand that they had been helping her the entire time. The reason why Zhuo Baiyuan did not involve her this time, was not because he truly did not commit a crime, but because he was taken out.

She bit her lower lip and raised her eyebrows. Another debt of gratitude, she thought.

"That should be the year before the new year. You're already twenty today, and in ten days you'll be celebrating the new year. Nothing major will happen, so you all can spend the new year in peace." Jiang Siyue said.

Zhuo Qingyan nodded her head, and lightly pulled on Chu Yi Chen's sleeves: "Have you guys finished discussing your matters? Can I ask you two questions? "

"Hm!" "Come over and sit." Chu Yi Chen stretched out a hand to pull her up and sat in the chair beside her.

Zhuo Qingyan opened the map and pointed to the "Kang Yang County" marked on it.

"The edge here is gone. What is it? It's from another country? "

Chu Yi Chen shook his head. "This is the coastal area on the side of the Kang Yang County that is near the sea. And the place that is near the Radix Polygoni Multiflori is here."

Seeing him point to the north of the map, she blinked, then muttered to herself. Then, she nodded: "Radix Polygoni Multiflori, then why is there such a big space here, and there are two mountains here, there's nothing behind it. What do you mean by that?"

At this time, Yan Li and Jiang Siyue were already standing opposite of the table, stretching their necks to look.

Jiang Siyue pointed to the place she pointed to just now: "If you go out from Kang Yang County's territory, you will be in Radix Polygoni Multiflori's territory, and Radix Polygoni Multiflori is different from other countries. This area is covered in prairie and is a flat plains, and their entire city is behind these two mountains.

"Oh …" "The sea, the grassland, and the grassland … they naturally have horses. There must be ships by the sea. This is a precious land …" Zhuo Qingyan mumbled to herself.

The three of them looked at each other. When they saw her acting in such a way, they knew that this Little Princess was thinking again.

"Your Highness, I've said before that the location of the Qin Huai is not only in Kang Yang County, but also in this place, Qingling County, right?" Zhuo Qingyan asked again.

"Look at this black line, this is Qin Ling, and this is the surrounding area of the Huai River. Look at this mountain range, it connects all the way to Qingling County …" Chu Yi Chen pointed it out to her on the map.

"Oh, so it was from Qingling County that we entered the sea …" Zhuo Qingyan nodded in understanding.

"What is the Little Princess thinking?" Yan Li asked.

"The other way! One, we can control ourselves. " Zhuo Qingyan looked up at the three of them, her bright eyes full of confidence.

The three of them looked at each other, not understanding what she meant.

"Your Highness, after I returned from the palace that day, I also thought about the things you mentioned. Rather than always being on guard, I also thought that it would be better to leave on my own initiative. Although this Darkhan is the place that you protect your entire life, sometimes you also have to understand that the person in power is not you. Zhuo Qingyan looked at him.

Chu Yi Chen's eyes also flashed with a bright light: "You mean, it belongs to the land?"

"En!" Zhuo Qingyan nodded her head with a smile: "Since you've already taken the initiative to give in, then in order to make your status known, we must not be too small, and take two counties as our territory, that's not too far off. Of course, if we're going to do business, we have to be very generous, and haggle a bit more, why not just take the Darkhan's ten counties and eight continents for one family." Zhuo Qingyan's eyes were full of calculations as she raised her eyebrows.
