บท 1005: 394: The Crown Princess is a little fox _2

"The Crown Princess can rest assured, Cao Qing has now returned to the Duke Mansion, and we have our own place to meet privately," Zhan Qiao smiled. "Cao Qing is finding the capital a bit unfamiliar these days and asked me to inquire on his behalf when he can be assigned a new task."

"Isn't it good for him to take a rest?" Su Xinyi laughed. "Just wait it out. With His Highness not in the capital and the Tatars weakened by the recent battle—not to recover in two or three years—Your Majesty is not in the mood to arrange their affairs right now. Besides, the matter of the merchant caravan ambush hasn't been resolved; leaving the border now is not the best timing."

Zhan Qiao said, "Once I told Cao Qing this, he calmed down."

"You may go," Su Xinyi waved her hand.

Zhan Qiao bowed and withdrew.

Su Xinyi went to the study. With the recent surge in affairs, she needed to sort out her thoughts.
