"The Third Princess rarely leaves the palace."
"The 500,000 taels of silver that were transferred to me through the Grand Preceptor that day have been handed over to the national treasury."
He wrote a memorial to Murong Yue about this matter, even though he knew that Murong Yue probably wouldn't read these things now, but he still had to write the memorial.
This is called leaving a record of your work.
Such a simple operation was, of course, invented by the retired emperor.
He wrote a memorial on a certain day stating a certain matter, which later served as evidence.
With this rule in place, officials are now being made scapegoats far less often.
Murong Yue really hated people from other bases loitering around her base. She pouted and said, "When are they leaving?"

"Let them spend money to exchange for grain."
Qi Yuan clasped his hands in a salute, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will convey this message to Lord Murong tonight."

That's the rule.
Whenever a foreign official enters or leaves the Hall of Supreme Harmony, his personal attendants must keep a close watch to ensure that the officials do not overstep their bounds.
This also prevented ministers and other servants from spreading rumors.
"Thank you, dear girl."
Qi Yuan spoke gently.
Ah Hao bowed slightly and was about to turn and leave when she heard Qi Yuan speak again.
