Huo Changhe whispered: "Let him go first, I will talk to you later."

Yan Ruyu nodded, Xiao Chiye bowed, said no more, got on his horse and left.

He left in a hurry and his expression was solemn when he left. Yan Ruyu guessed that it must be a big deal.

"The third master of the Qiu family, something happened in Shencheng."

Yan Ruyu was surprised: "Who?"

"That's the Third Master of the Qiu Family we mentioned yesterday."

"What happened to him? What happened?"

"Dead," Huo Changhe's voice was slightly angry, "It happened in Wangyou Incense House. The people in the incense house and several pilgrims are all dead."

Yan Ruyu frowned: "How did you get the news?"

"We received the message from his men via carrier pigeon early in the morning."

"So, there is indeed something wrong with Wangyouxiangzhai and the Third Master of the Qiu family," Yan Ruyu walked up the stairs, "Fortunately, Xiao Chiye was not told the truth."

Huo Changhe nodded: "Indeed, otherwise, given his personality, he would definitely investigate after returning and would not stop until he got to the bottom of it."

"Mr. Mo and his men are cruel and treacherous. He can lead troops to fight, but he may not be able to gain the upper hand against them."

Yan Ruyu agreed: "Yes, now there is another Lingxu Palace, things are becoming more and more complicated."

The two returned to the house in silence, and Huo Changhe saw the map in her hand.

"Where's the map? Where did you go?"

"The abbot, Governor Cao, and I went to the manor together," Yan Ruyu opened the map, "so that they can see the metallurgy with their own eyes, and feel at ease."

She took out a gold ingot from her purse: "Your Majesty, please take a look."

The last time Huo Changhe went back, he hadn't seen the finished product, so this time when he saw the gold ingots, he was overjoyed.

"The quality is so good, Yu'er, your method is really effective."

"What else don't you know?"

Yan Ruyu tapped the map lightly: "Wait until I have finished designing and renovating the manor, then Your Majesty will praise me."

"The manor is very large, and I think the layout is very good. I decided to keep it as it was. It would be great if we repaired the collapsed house, replaced some green plants, and refilled the pool, and then we can restore the original beauty."

Huo Changhe looked at her, and seeing that she was speaking seriously and with a focused expression, his heart warmed.

He stepped forward and gently held Yan Ruyu in his arms.

Yan Ruyu noticed his emotions and patted him on the back: "If the prince is worried about Shencheng, send a few people over to assist secretly."

Huo Changhe knew she had misunderstood, and put his chin on her neck: "It's not because of this."

Yan Ruyu didn't ask any questions immediately, but just accompanied him quietly.

After a moment, Huo Changhe spoke: "I discussed with Xiao Chiye whether we should write a letter to the Sixth Prince and ask him to help urge the investigation into my case."

Yan Ruyu understood instantly: "Your Highness is struggling over whether to return to Beijing or stay in the northwest?"

"I don't want to go back to Beijing, but if I am cleared of my grievances, I will definitely have to go back to Beijing, even if I can't stay there forever. "

"But I don't want to go back, but I also want to be innocent."

Yan Ruyu pondered and said, "Of course we need to be innocent. We can't always be charged with the crime of treason. Even if we resign, we still need to be innocent."

Huo Changhe was startled, his eyes lit up: "Yes, I can resign."

Yan Ruyu: "..."

"Yu'er has a way. She enlightened me with one word. I should clear my name first and announce it to the world. Then I can resign. I don't have to go back to the capital and wait for the imperial edict officer to come back to the capital to report the imperial edict. If the emperor still wants me to return to the capital, he will have to issue another imperial edict and send someone over. This round trip will definitely take a lot of time."

"I will arrange for someone on the road when the time comes. As soon as he arrives, we will go out and say we are going to travel. We don't know when we will be back. How about that?"

Huo Changhe became happier the more he talked. He felt that something that had been bothering him for a long time was suddenly solved, and he even felt able to breathe more smoothly.

Seeing that he was happy, Yan Ruyu didn't want to spoil his fun.

Anyway, it hasn't happened yet, so there's no point worrying too early.

She vaguely felt that the situation in the Zhennan Palace was different from that of the Sima family, and it might not be easy to clear their names and clear their names.

The two were looking at the map of the manor and discussing how to plan the open space outside the garden when someone came to report that Governor Cao had arrived.

I had just parted with Governor Cao and he came to see me again. He must have something going on.

When they arrived at the front hall, Governor Cao came in carrying a large food box.

"Princess, this is a gift from my wife. She said that if you always receive things from the princess, you should give gifts in return. These are made by her. Although the taste is not as good as the princess's, it is also special."

Governor Cao cleared his throat and said, "The above are my wife's original words. My words are, Princess, there is a pear cake in it, which is my wife's specialty. It is slightly cool and fragrant, sweet but not greasy. You must try it."

Yan Ruyu took it with both hands: "Okay, I will taste it carefully and give Madam Cao some feedback."

Governor Cao smiled even more happily, took a seat and started to talk: "Your Highness, Princess, it's like this, the matter of the old city has been registered, and I asked Princess to review it before. Measurements have also been carried out in the past few days. In addition, the resettlement place has also been arranged properly, and all preparations have been completed."

"So, I am thinking of posting the notice this afternoon and starting tomorrow, I wonder what your Highness thinks?"

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Okay, then let's do as you say. The weather is getting warmer, and it's the right time. We'll post a notice today and start clearing within three to seven days. At the same time, the resettlement office will also start registering to receive people."

"You can put a note in the notice that there are good and bad places to be placed, and the good places are limited and will be served on a first-come, first-served basis."

"Also, whoever moves out early will get the compensation first. I will notify the bank this afternoon and ask them to make preparations early and post notices as well."

Governor Cao bowed repeatedly: "Oh, thank you, princess, thank you, princess!"

"How about I write a notice and let the princess take a look at it first?"

After all, they are the ones who pay the money, so we have to make them satisfied with everything.

Yan Ruyu waved her hand: "Your Excellency, there is no need to do this. I am just reminding you that you are the father and mother of Youcheng and have lived here for a long time. You know more than we do. Everything should be based on you."

Governor Cao was touched and said, "Then I will do it boldly. With the support of the prince and princess, I will definitely do it well."

Huo Changhe said, "Master Cao, just do your work. If you need anything, just come to the palace and tell me. Especially if you need manpower, just talk."

"Then I will not be polite. I really need to borrow some manpower from the prince. The yamen runners have been very busy these days and there are not enough people."

"Okay, sir, go do your work first. I will make arrangements immediately and have Song Ping take people over to contact Cui Chong later. What do you think?"

"Very good, very good. Thank you very much."

Governor Cao thanked him repeatedly and turned to leave.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe smiled at each other. Even though they had lent out a lot of things, they would soon be busy.

But everything is moving in a positive direction.
