He no longer troubled the people of Cangyue Country, merely sending envoys to negotiate with Empress Dowager Wen. As long as Cangyue Country bowed down and acknowledged the Great Nan Dynasty’s supremacy, war could be avoided.
At present, Cangyue Country was merely struggling to survive. Even if they continued to fight, there wouldn’t be much chance of victory, so surrendering was a better option.
After receiving the letter of surrender, Chu Yuxiao was in high spirits as he returned to the Great Nan Dynasty with Su Yan. He had also thought of a series of measures for rehabilitation and peace-building.
He decided to spare Moyan Country and cease warfare. Now he finally understood that to protect Su Yan and to be with her forever, there was no need to unify the Six Kingdoms. freēwebnovel.com
As long as their family could be together safely and peacefully, nothing else mattered.
Upon returning to the palace, Eunuch Wang was immensely relieved to see them return safely. After settling Su Yan, he informed Chu Yuxiao of the recent happenings in the palace.
Chu Yuxiao listened, a slight cold smile appearing on his lips. Without blinking, he said, "Some people are not suitable to live in the palace. Let’s expel the irrelevant ones."
Eunuch Wang, of course, knew who he was referring to, and tentatively asked, "Then, where should they be expelled to?"
Chu Yuxiao glanced at him indifferently. Startled, he immediately bowed his head respectfully and said, "Understood, Your Majesty."
When Eunuch Wang left the Imperial Study, he cautiously wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

In any case, he had to ensure two things.
First, he couldn’t send Su Ya away with pomp and ceremony, otherwise, it wouldn’t reflect the Emperor’s displeasure with her. Second, he couldn’t overdo it; he had to find a good excuse to send her away without inviting criticism of the Emperor and the Empress.
Expelling someone like this was truly a technical skill...
"I heard that when Princess Su Ya was leaving the palace, she cried for a long time and kept clamoring to see the Emperor. Of course, she couldn’t be allowed to see the Emperor, and then she clamored to see Your Majesty the Empress. It was Eunuch Wang who stopped her. Now, Princess Su Ya resides at the Anle Marquis’s mansion. The Marquis Anle had just been released, fell ill, and upon seeing Princess Su Ya, fell ill again," a palace maid reported to Su Yan about the recent events.
Su Yan took a sip of tea, lazily leaned back on the Luohan Couch, and found it amusing just thinking about it. Nan Zhaojian must have seen Su Ya being expelled from the Imperial Palace and believed they had lost their only hope, which is why he was so infuriated.
"How come I heard she’s no longer at the Anle Marquis Mansion now?" Su Yan asked.
