Chapter 297: Lofty Packaging

After receiving An Hao's report on the current situation at the border, the Emperor dragged Lei Xing along with him to the royal study. 

It was a complex problem with a simple solution, Prince Rui was not a prisoner so he could leave whenever he wanted to. Therefore, the Emperor could not give the order to forcefully detain him here as An Hao was asking.

If Prince Rui wanted to walk into a death trap, they technically could not stop him. But they could house him if he had the good sense to avoid the danger. After all, he was still considered a royal guest so the Emperor instructed An Hao to relocate him to Jingli - a city near the border and "recommended" that Prince Rui should wait for Princess Nalan and the other Zou representatives to arrive there and then depart with the group.
