Chapter 108: The Death Penalty

"Waiting in the lobby."

Chunyin replied truthfully, and did not feel guilty of violating the rules because he invited outsiders into the Hanwang Mansion without Xiao Ruoxi's permission.

After all, last time, His Royal Highness King Yan helped her princess, and she witnessed it with her own eyes, so His Royal Highness King Yan should not be a bad person.

Besides, just because people have helped the princess, the princess should be seen in a reasonable way.

"Okay, I'll go over right away."

Xiao Ruoxi said, lit a pink bead flower at random, asked Lian Xiang to help her put it on, and then got up and went to the hall.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness King Yan, I've kept you waiting."

As soon as Xiao Ruoxi walked into the hall, he saw the gorgeous blue figure sitting upright in the hall, sipping the tea in his hand with a serene expression.

"Rushing to visit, I don't know if I can disturb Princess Han?"

Seeing Xiao Ruoxi come in, Chu Xiuyan immediately got up, just like Xiao Ruoxi, and said a very polite word.

Although, he didn't like Xiao Ruoxi's appearance of being too polite to him, because that would always give people a very distant feeling.

But there seems to be no reason for him to ask the two to be closer.

"It doesn't matter."

Xiao Ruoxi waved his hand, signaling that it didn't matter, and let Chu Xiuyan sit down again, and sat on the throne himself, before he said again: "I don't know if His Royal Highness King Yan suddenly visited today, what is the so-called matter?" ”

"Have you heard about what happened in the court today?"

Chu Xiuyan didn't beat around the bush, and went directly to the topic as soon as he sat down.

Xiao Ruoxi frowned, she didn't understand what Chu Xiuyan meant, she was just a woman, how could she be qualified to care about political affairs, unless......

"But something related to Chu Xiuhan?"

If it weren't for this, she really didn't care about other political affairs.

However, things were really as she thought, only to see Chu Xiuyan nodding lightly, which was regarded as acquiescing to Xiao Ruoxi's words.

"But what decision did the emperor have about Chu Xiuhan?"

Xiao Ruoxi's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and now the news that the barbarians of South Vietnam had invaded the pass should have almost reached Chu Xiuran's ears.

And Chu Xiuran for Chu Xiuhan, either kill or release, other than that, he has no choice, it depends on the personal grievances compared to Jiangshan Sheji, which is more important to him.

"The barbarians of South Vietnam suddenly attacked the pass, and the emperor asked the third brother to atone for his merits and go to the border pass to defend against the enemy."

Chu Xiuyan said truthfully, but he also had doubts, this South Vietnamese barbarian had not entered the pass for so many years, why did he come in all of a sudden, there must be something greasy in this.

"Really? Chu Xiuhan was released? ”

Although he knew the reason why Chu Xiuhan was put in this, in order to avoid being seen by Chu Xiuyan, Xiao Ruoxi pretended to be very excited.

It was as if he was simply happy that Chu Xiuhan could be released from the prison, and he didn't have any other thoughts in it.

Seeing Xiao Ruoxi's happy appearance, Chu Xiuyan also hooked the corners of his lips, happy for her, but ......

"The third brother is still in the prison, and after Prime Minister Xiao Cheng submits the certificate to the emperor tomorrow, the emperor will directly send the third brother to the border."

Although Chu Xiuyan knew that it was a little inappropriate to say this in front of Xiao Ruoxi, but this whole thing, he felt that it was inappropriate everywhere.

After so many years, South Vietnam has never stopped attacking the Chu State, but because of Chu Xiuhan's suppression before, they only made a small fuss, occasionally harassing the people on the border of the Chu State, and did not dare to move the real thing.

But this time, they attacked the Chu State on a large scale, unless they learned the news that Chu Xiuhan was trapped, plus with the help of others, otherwise, even if they borrowed ten of their courage, they would not dare to rashly attack the Chu State.

However, Chu Xiuran clearly forbade anyone to leak the news that Chu Xiuhan was trapped, and if anyone disobeyed, it would be a capital crime.

Who would take such a risk to do such a thing? After thinking about it, Chu Xiuyan fixed this person on Xiao Ruoxi's body.

Because now the person who wants Chu Xiuhan to be safe and sound the most is her, but has she ever thought that if she does this, once it is investigated in the future, first, disobeying the holy order is a capital crime, and second, the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason is also a capital crime.

When she does this, is she really not thinking about herself? Chu Xiuyan looked at Xiao Ruoxi with some concern.

However, Xiao Ruoxi was completely shocked by Chu Xiuyan's words just now, and completely ignored the worry in Chu Xiuyan's eyes.

"What do you say? What is a vote?? ”

Xiao Ruoxi looked at Chu Xiuyan and asked anxiously, her intuition told her that this was not a good thing.

Seeing that Xiao Ruoxi really didn't know anything, Chu Xiuyan sighed and said:

"In the early days of the dynasty today, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng strongly recommended to the emperor to send the third brother to the border pass to suppress those South Vietnamese barbarians, but the emperor was worried that once the third brother was released to the border pass, the third brother would raise troops to rebel, so he asked Xiao Cheng to write this letter of nomination, and only agreed to send the third brother to the border pass with the lives of all the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion as a guarantee."

After listening to Chu Xiuyan's words, Xiao Ruoxi only felt that it was like five thunderbolts hitting the top, and he sat there in a daze, forgetting how to react for a while.

"What if Chu Xiuhan really rebelled?"

"Hundreds of lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion will be sentenced to death!"

Death penalty for all!

This sentence echoed in Xiao Ruoxi's mind repeatedly.

She just wanted her father to advise the emperor so that Chu Xiuhan could go to the border to defend against the enemy, so that he could get out of the shackles of the prison, but she didn't expect that now, Chu Xiuhan is out of trouble, but she has compensated the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, and now, Xiao Ruoxi really regrets not being at the beginning.

No! It shouldn't be like this, she shouldn't let the Prime Minister's Mansion be implicated in any way.

"Chu Xiuyan, can you help me...... Help me...... The Prime Minister's Mansion can't have an accident......"

Xiao Ruoxi took a step forward, grabbed Chu Xiuyan's sleeve, and pleaded with a crying voice.

Her mind was in a mess at the moment, and she could no longer maintain her respectful and polite appearance in front of Chu Xiuyan, and she no longer called him His Royal Highness King Yan, but called him by his name.

Looking at the woman in front of her who was constantly rolling in her eyes, Chu Xiuyan's eyes flashed with distress, and he couldn't help but comfort softly:

"Don't worry, calm down, tell me, what do you need me to help you do?"

As long as he can do it, he can't say anything about it.

Xiao Ruoxi looked at Chu Xiuyan, tears slid down her cheeks, she forcibly calmed herself, choked her throat and said:

"Can you help me beg the emperor...... I will write this petition, and I can't let the Prime Minister's Mansion be implicated......"

When Chu Xiuyan heard this, although he really wanted to help Xiao Ruoxi, he really couldn't do this.

If this petition can really be written by her, then why does the emperor need Prime Minister Xiao Cheng to write a petition for nomination, just wait for Chu Xiuhan to leave, and then ban Xiao Ruoxi, wouldn't it be more obedient for Chu Xiuhan to be obedient.
