Thinking that Xiao Yuanjing used Xie Changan's identity and what happened just now, so Xun Ruobai was not at ease with them wandering around the capital like this, so he ordered a few words with the accompanying young man and followed Xiao Yuan Jing and the others wandered around the capital, and by the way, talked about what happened in the city.

Intended to understand the people's sentiments.

The capital city is divided into three parts. The one built around the imperial palace is the mansions of the royal relatives, and the outer ones are the mansions of important ministers, officials of all ranks, and wealthy families, which is called the inner city.

The outer city is the residence of the common people, as well as the commercial market, so there is another city gate outside the palace gate, which separates the dignitaries and the common people.

And with Xun Ruobai's leadership, the group of them also walked around the capital as they wanted, and they didn't encounter any other troubles.

In front of the carriage, the other princes got into the carriage. Xun Ruobai stood in front of Xiao Yuanjing, with a gentle smile on his lips, and bowed politely to Xiao Yuanjing: "Your Highness, if your Highness If you want to settle down in the capital as Xie Changan, I will discuss with my father to let the princes of the aristocratic families in the capital know about this person, so that His Highness can act in the capital in the future."

Xun Ruobai's smile was gentle, and his gestures and gestures were full of elegance, but he was extraordinarily approachable, especially his temper towards Xiao Yuanjing.

Xiao Yuanjing replied, "Thank you for the arrangement, cousin."

Xun Ruobai smiled: "Your Highness, go back earlier, don't waste the time to get the key from the palace gate."

Xiao Yuanjing responded, and got into the carriage under Xun Ruobai's sight.

Xun Ruobai was tall and tall, with gentle eyes, staring straight at the carriage that Xiao Yuanjing and the others were leaving, until they disappeared at the intersection, Xun Ruobai nodded, turned and walked towards his own carriage.

Xia Yi, who was waiting on the side, waited on Xun Ruobai and said, "Your Majesty, these Four Highnesses seem to be different from before."

Xun Ruobai lifted up his clothes and put them on the carriage, said softly: "Yeah, it's not the same, more... like a person, let's go, go back to the house."

Under Xun Ruobai's instructions, the carriage of Duke Qing's mansion also gradually drove towards the inner city.

The princes who returned to the palace, under the leadership of the Taifu, went to Wende Palace to meet the emperor who was still handling government affairs. The Taifu first knelt down and pleaded guilty to the emperor.

The emperor was stunned for a while, and then the Taifu reported to the emperor one by one what happened during the visit in Weifu today. The emperor was surprised when he heard it, but then his expression became more serious, and the folding fan in his hand Knocking on the table in front of him lightly, his eyes were also looking back and forth at the several sons, and then he raised his hand to signal the master to stand up:

"I said that they are not allowed to reveal their identities. Firstly, it is only because they don't want to cause trouble, and secondly, it is to protect them. Jing'er, what do you say about the Shili Piaoxiang Building?"

Xiao Yuanjing stepped forward and respectfully saluted the emperor: "Father, my son did nothing wrong. Although that woman is a noble lady, she is still a citizen of Daliang, so she should be protected. The prime minister's nephew is bullying others." , Officials tend to be inflamed and turn black and white, this matter should not be encouraged."

The emperor listened to the sound of the paper fan knocking on the table: "I will personally ask the prime minister about this matter, and you, I have observed the people's sentiments in the capital today, then tomorrow, I will wait for your policy and discussion, go back. "

The five princes bowed to the emperor, and then they left Wende Hall and went back to their residences.

After returning to Chengqian Hall, the servant Xiao Yuanjing sent out to inquire about Concubine Gao Shu's crimes also returned. Xiao Yuanjing held the copper pot and hurriedly brought the servant into the bedroom:

"What did you find out?"

The servant smiled and replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, the servant found out that the commander had found out the little eunuch who had tampered with the horse that His Highness was riding. Unfortunately, he was one step too late and committed suicide. Concubine Gao Shu confessed to this, saying that it was her. As for setting fire to the Temple of Ci'an, she kept her mouth shut, saying that she had never done it."

Xiao Yuanjing hugged the copper pot, caressed the edge of the pot, and frowned: "In this way, Concubine Gao Shu instigated Zhou Nanny to make people ... tamper with my horse and make me fall off the horse. This is the murder of the prince. She pleaded guilty to this crime, so don't you think she will suffer less punishment if she doesn't plead guilty to burning Ci'an Temple?"

Hearing Xiao Yuanjing's rhetorical question, the servant also frowned, and touched his forehead: "This... the slave doesn't know."

Xiao Yuanjing immediately hooked his lips into a smile: "You did a good job, go to Lidong to receive the reward."

Upon hearing this, the servant hurriedly thanked him and left the dormitory joyfully, leaving only Xiao Yuanjing in the dormitory.

Xiao Yuanjing lay on the bed holding the copper pot and stroking the edge of the pot, frowning and thinking: "Could it be that there is someone else who set fire to the Temple of Ci'an?"

The pot, which had been caressed for a long time, suddenly said softly: "Have you ever thought about it, if Concubine Gao Shu falls, who will benefit the most?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Xiao Yuanjing hugged the pot and sat up from the bed: "Brother Guo, what you mean is that the person who set fire to Ci'an Hall knew about the deal between Concubine Gao Shu and Mother Zhou and used it?"

Pot: "Hmm..."

But now that Nanny Zhou was bestowed dead by the emperor, and the evidence left behind by Nanny Zhou can only prove that what she did was related to Concubine Gao Shu, so it would be a little difficult to find out the third person.

It's all because the emperor acted too fast, and didn't wait for anyone to finish the question.

But knowing that Concubine Gao Shu was the culprit who caused the original body to fall off the horse, Xiao Yuanjing was not in a hurry anymore, holding the pot and asked, "Brother Guo, follow me around the capital today, how do you feel?"

Guozi was a little surprised: "What did you say?"

Xiao Yuanjing: "You don't know, aren't you possessed by the pot? I said you are my brother, so I will take you with me. I will take you with me when I leave the palace. You won't tell me , you fell asleep and didn't see anything."

pot:"……"

Feeling the silence in the hall, Xiao Yuanjing thought he shouldn't be blamed for this, and quickly changed the topic: "It's okay, you fell asleep this time, don't sleep next time."

Guozi: "Well, I see."

Xiao Yuanjing laughed: "You don't know, I have a lot of prestige in the capital today!"

Guozi: "What prestige, tell me?"

Seeing that the pot loved listening, Xiao Yuanjing hurriedly placed the pot on the bedside, and began to talk vividly about what happened in the capital today.

She drew a knife from the dandy and helped out the lovely and pitiful young man, how could he use his other identities to avoid disaster without revealing his identity, and finally, with the help of the prince of the Qing Dynasty, the matter was resolved satisfactorily.

Xiao Yuanjing was talking about dancing, and when he was excited, he even slapped his thigh.

After this series of words, Guo Zi listened attentively, until Xiao Yuanjing stopped, and Guo Zi opened his mouth: "It's so exciting, I really shouldn't fall asleep."

Xiao Yuanjing took advantage of the situation and lay down on the bed, with the copper pot at the head of the bed: "However... I feel that I have been in this ancient times for half a year, and my heart has hardened."

Guozi was puzzled: "How to say?"

Xiao Yuanjing: "I have never dared to watch chickens and pigs being killed since I was a child. Even when I went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and saw fish being killed, I felt sad for a long time. My grandma said that I was compassionate and would not see killing. But in the past half a year in ancient times , I found that I am not compassionate at all."

Xiao Yuanjing sat up from the bed again, and looked at the pot: "The eunuch in Chengqian Palace, I didn't want him to die, I wanted to kick him out, but he bit his tongue and killed himself in front of me. Nanny Zhou set fire to Ci'an Palace to frame me, and was ordered to die by my father. He was like the goatee official today. He was beaten eighty times, and finally his tongue was pulled out. I saw it, it was bloody Tongue, I was thinking at the time, how can my heart be so hard that I can't feel any mercy."

Xiao Yuanjing sat downcastly, and Guozi was silent for a while.

Xiao Yuanjing was thinking, if Guozi had hands, would he beat him at this moment, or would he comfort him?

After a while, Guozi spoke softly: "I have killed people before."

Hearing these words, Xiao Yuanjing's heart jumped twice, and he looked directly at the pot that could make human voices.

Guozi: "In our former society, killing people was illegal, but there are still people who are killing people, even if they don't know people, they will feel pity and pity to some extent. This is human nature, because they are innocent victims. They made no mistake."

Xiao Yuanjing listened carefully, and Guozi said again: "But this is not our civilized era, do you understand? The rule here is that the strong eat the weak and the fittest survive. What's more, those people have to blame themselves, such as the eunuch who eats inside and outside, he If you betray your master, even if he doesn't commit suicide, will the people in Hanyuan Hall let him go?"

"And Nanny Zhou, she wanted to harm others first, and was finally ordered to be executed by the top decision-maker. This is the punishment she deserves. Just like the official post today, he is also responsible for it."

Xiao Yuanjing was still puzzled: "Are you trying to harden my heart again, and excuse me."

Guozi was silent for a moment: "I'm telling you, adjust measures according to the current situation and local conditions, not to excuse you."

Xiao Yuanjing asked again: "Then you said you have killed someone, how did you feel when you killed someone?"

Suddenly, Xiao Yuanjing seemed to see a few question marks appearing on Guozi's head, but before he could see clearly, the question marks disappeared.

Guozi: "I don't know...you go and have dinner quickly, I'm a little tired."

Xiao Yuanjing hurriedly comforted the pot to let him have a good rest, then he got up from the bed and went out of the dormitory to ask if dinner was ready, leaving only the pot beside the bed quietly in the dormitory.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Yuanjing carried his Brother Guo to the Superintendent of National Education, while in China, the papers were written and prepared for the emperor to review after he came down to court.

Just walked into the hall and put down the pot, the second prince, who usually doesn't talk much, took the initiative to greet him, and even the fifth prince changed his attitude towards him, Xiao Yuanjing always felt that this was a weasel giving a new year greeting to a chicken, and he didn't hold it back Fart, but on the surface they still pretended to be nonchalant and greeted them.

The second prince looked at Xiao Yuanjing, as if reminding him, but also as if he was watching a good show: "Fourth brother, do you know that the elder brother is coming back?"
