Prince Han Sien

Chapter 111

As for the emperor's imperial decree, Han Si'en immediately went to the palace after receiving it.He is a serious person, insisting on letting the emperor distinguish between the patrol envoy, who is the chief envoy and who is the deputy envoy between him and Ji Huai, and whether the prince has any privileges when encountering important events.

Hearing Han Sien's series of questions, the emperor felt very familiar, as if he had heard it a long time ago.Yuan Bao saw that the emperor looked a little confused, and whispered four words in his ear, floods in the south of the Yangtze River.

The emperor suddenly remembered that Han Si'en, who suffered from floods in the south of the Yangtze River, went with Ji Luo, and it was also a combination of him and a prince.At that time, Han Sien was also so stubborn.

But thinking of the disaster relief money brought back from Jiangnan, all kinds of thoughts in the emperor's mind disappeared.He laughed and scolded: "Okay, I understand what you mean. This trip to the western border, you are still the envoy, and the fifth is the deputy envoy. When you encounter important things, you make the decision. That's it, right? That's it." A little thing, is it worth entering the palace as soon as you receive the imperial decree?"

Han Sien frowned slightly, and said: "My minister thanked the emperor, I did this as a precautionary measure, lest the fifth prince and I would not give way to anyone else on the way. If the two of us get into a quarrel because of this, it's not a big deal." Is it embarrassing in front of the border guards? It also embarrasses the emperor, doesn't it?"

The emperor nodded helplessly to him, and then said: "It's just that the border gate is different from Jiangnan, the border gate is a place of war, and the safety of the fifth child is entrusted to you."

Han Si'en was naturally in command, the emperor wanted to say something, but just as he opened his mouth, he coughed, his heart and lungs ached, and the emperor's health has been deteriorating in the past three years.

Physician Zhou said that it was because he was thinking too much, and often reassured him.

The emperor agreed with Zhou Taiyi's statement, but even if he knew it, he still couldn't stop falling asleep every day, with messy thoughts in his head.

After alleviating the pain in his heart, the emperor made sure that Han Sien had nothing else to do, and sighed: "Western Xinjiang is located in a cold place, surrounded by desolation, it is not as lively as Beijing, nor as prosperous as Jiangnan. Your bones are nourished by things like ginseng and antler. Get up, and when you arrive in the western border, you must always pay attention."

Han Si'en's eyes moved slightly, and he thanked the emperor, "I thank the emperor for his care, and I will definitely live up to the emperor's kindness."

The emperor hummed lightly, and said, "Go back and get ready, we'll be leaving in a few days."

Han Sien thanked him again, then turned and left.

Regarding the emperor's concern, he actually didn't take it seriously.If you cared sincerely and knew that he was in good health, how could you let him go to such a desolate and tyrannical place in Western Xinjiang.

It's not impossible for Han Si'en to avoid this trip, but thinking of the ginseng that he ate in the past three years, big and small like radish heads, Han Si'en thought, he must go to Xijiang for a trip, see See if there is anything that you can help with the brothers of the Bai family.

Back at the South Korean mansion, Han Si'en looked at Chen Xiang and the others, and said that there were only four maids by his side all these years, Bi Hua, Chen Xiang, Yun Zhi and Luo Xia.After Bihua lost face, she silently saved some money and redeemed herself a year ago. Han Sien didn't make things difficult for her, so he gave her the deed of sale.

And the remaining three people have reached the age of marriage, but none of the three of them have such thoughts, and of course they are served by their side, people in this house generally dare not easily move their minds.Among the three, only Chen Xiang's deed of prostitution is not in Han Si'en's hands, Chen Xiang came from the old lady's side, and is the son of the Duke's family.

Chen Xiang is considered to be a very smart person. She has been by Han Sien's side all these years, and she is quite loyal. She also shows that she is being excluded outside, and keeps her pace, revealing some innocuous news to Liu Shi from time to time, In addition, her family has been operating in the Duke's Mansion for so many years, so she can still get away with it in the Duke's Mansion.

Luoxia and Yunzhi were completely branded by Fang Lanyuan. Han Sien's trip to the western border this time was different from his trip to the south of the Yangtze River, so he definitely couldn't bring a few maids with him.

If you can't carry it, it means you can't protect it.The risks are placed there, and he can't pretend that he can't see them.After much deliberation, Han Si'en returned the deed of selling their lives to them, along with An Cao's.

Both Yunzhi and Luoxia were delighted to be free, but at the same time they were full of uneasiness.The people in the other yards have the kind of intention to be half masters, but they don't. Being free means that life and death are up to them from now on. Even if they live poorer in the future, their children and grandchildren will benefit.

It's just that they came from Han Si'en's side after all, so it's reasonable to be afraid of retaliation.

Han Sien also knew their worries, so he said: "I will tell others before I go to Xijiang that you are free. Then if you are uneasy, you can go to the prince's house or Mingzhu to serve first, and you don't have to sell yourself. When things are over, you don't need to be afraid."

Yunzhi and Luoxia were overjoyed when they heard that, in that case they would be maidservants in the Prince's Mansion of Yongjun or the Prince's Mansion in name, so naturally they don't have to worry about retaliation from others.

Chen Xiang at the side looked at it, with some envy in his eyes, but more calm.She is the son of the family, and the whole family lives in this mansion, and her deed of prostitution is not with Han Si'en, but she understands it, and she still envies people who can get free.

Fortunately, she has served Han Si'en for so many years, and she also knows what Han Si'en is like, and she hopes to gain some face at the critical moment.

Han Sien didn't care about Chen Xiang's worries.Chen Xiang has indeed been devoted to her all these years, but her contract of selling herself is not in her hands, if she really asks him for something in the future, then he will naturally do it.

The only person who was dissatisfied with this arrangement was An Cao, he even thought that he could not have this contract of sale, he wanted to go to the border with Han Sien.Faintly, An Cao feels that this is the best time to change her destiny.

So An Cao begged Han Si'en to take back the deed of sale, and spoke out her thoughts.Han Si'en was not angry at An Cao's petty thinking. People in this world are willing to climb up and have the chance to change their own destiny. Who wouldn't take it?

Han Si'en did not take back An Cao's contract of selling himself, but he also agreed to let him stay by his side, but at the same time he also said that the war at the border has no eyes, and whether he can return to Beijing in a comprehensive manner depends on An Cao himself. .

An Cao was very grateful for this.

Things in Han Sien's yard were the simplest. After making arrangements, Han Sien felt a little sleepy, so he fell into a deep sleep.

He slept soundly and comfortably this time, but the Fifth Prince Ji Huai was feeling a little unhappy, and his face was very gloomy.

Han Qingxue just came back from the palace. Over the years, she often went to see Concubine Xian Han Yun in the palace. Although she couldn't see anyone, as a daughter-in-law, she always had to show filial piety for Ji Huai.

Seeing Han Qingxue, Ji Huai calmed down quickly, and said in a gentle voice, "How is the concubine mother?"

Han Qingxue said: "I didn't see the concubine mother, but I gave the money to the guards, trying to make the concubine mother's meals not so rough."

Ji Huai nodded, held Han Qingxue's hand and said, Thank you for your hard work.

Han Qingxue smiled slightly, dignified and extravagant, and then thought about Ji Huai's going out of Beijing again, thinking about the stomach that had not moved for three years, and thinking about the separation for another few months, Han Qingxue couldn't help but reddened her eyes, looking very charming.

When Ji Huai saw her like this, he sighed slightly in his heart, and patted her hand with a helpless expression on his face, but he didn't make a sound to comfort her.

Ever since Han Yun was imprisoned, although Ji Huai didn't know what happened back then, he knew that Han Si'en must have contributed a lot to it, otherwise he would never have liked the emperor so much.

Thinking of Ji Luo's smooth sailing these years, Ji Huai became even more convinced that there must be some kind of connection between Ji Luo and Han Si'en, but he had no proof.

But that's okay, this time he is traveling with Han Sien, and he will definitely be able to catch Han Sien and Ji Luo's collusion.

When Han Mingzhu heard that Han Sien was going to the border, she felt extremely anxious. She originally wanted to visit the Duke's mansion.But Ji Yue was so dizzy that she was worried, and asked someone to call a doctor for her.

The doctor's pulse detection brought out a happy event.

Speaking of which, Han Mingzhu and Ji Yue have been married for so many years, except for the first year of filial piety, which made it inconvenient to be happy, but in the next few years, there was no such concern, but Han Mingzhu has never been happy.

The king of Yongjun and the princess of Yongjun also murmured in their hearts, but fortunately, Han Sien was kind to this sister. Even if he didn't go out, the supplements from the mansion were often sent to the mansion of the king of the county, and Ji Yue felt sorry for Han Mingzhu. Not too many rumors reached Han Mingzhu's ears.

After Han Mingzhu's happy pulse was diagnosed, he didn't come to see Han Sien, but Ji Yue came to tell Han Sien about Han Mingzhu's worries and the happy event in person.

After Han Si'en finished listening, he asked An Cao to bring a ginseng as thick as a baby's arm from the storeroom to Ji Yue, and then sent him away.

Ji Yue carried the ginseng out of the Duke's Mansion with a dumbfounding expression on his face.

Mrs. Wang also sent people to bring a lot of wound medicine to Han Si'en. They were all the secret recipes of the Marquis of Jingguo in Xijiang, and they all came in handy.Han Sien accepted it.

After Mrs. Wang made a big fuss at the South Korean government when Han Sien was injured, Han Sien woke up with the same attitude towards the Wang family as before and never visited.Naturally, someone in the Wang family murmured secretly that he didn't understand etiquette, but Mrs. Wang often sent someone to give him things, and Han Si'en accepted everything except the expensive ones.

When Han Si'en and Ji Huai set off for the western border, it was Ji Luo who led all the civil and military officials to see them off at the farewell pavilion in person.Ji Luo didn't go to see Han Si'en after the imperial decree was issued.

However, he had approached the emperor in private and wanted him to take back the imperial edict. After all, although Han Sien's health had improved, he was still too thin. However, as soon as Ji Luo made this request, the emperor scolded him severely.

At this moment, facing Han Si'en who was wearing a mask and couldn't see his expression clearly, Ji Luo had something to say in his heart, but in the end he only said: "Take care."

Han Sien nodded casually, got on the sedan chair and left.Ji Huai doesn't like to sit in a sedan chair, he rides a horse.

They are inspectors, not leading troops to fight, so it doesn't matter if they walk slowly.However, there are quite a few people in their group, and they often have to rest at the post station, and sometimes they even have to camp in the wild.

After leaving the capital, even the official road was a bit bumpy. Sitting in the sedan chair, Han Sien felt uncomfortable all over.

In the dead of night, he remembered that Bai Wenhan and Bai Shu had just been hit by a board, and they went to the western border in a carriage. Han Sien heaved a sigh of relief when he arrived in Xijiang.

The weather was fine at this time, and the road from the capital to Xijiang was relatively smooth.When the crowd arrived at the Tiger Roaring Officer in front of Tianmen Pass, Han Si'en dispatched an advance officer to ride a horse all the way to Tianmen Pass to report that the inspection time sent by the emperor would arrive soon.

It's just that whether people who hear the news like it or not is not within the scope of Han Sien's consideration.

The news that the eldest son of the Korean government and the fifth prince were about to arrive in the western border quickly spread throughout Tianmen Pass. After receiving the news, Liu Hucheng, the current general of Tianmen Pass, immediately called for Bai Wenhan, who was patrolling the border.
