Seeing Pei Shaonan thinking about something there, Xie Zhao asked, "What are you thinking?"

Pei Shaonan came back to his senses, suppressed his desire to find this official from the Ministry of Rites, and said to Xie Zhaoruo nonchalantly, "I'm reminiscing about your heroic impeachment in the palace that day."

The corner of Xie Zhao's mouth twitched: "It can't be said to be heroic, right?"

"Why not." Pei Shaonan took it for granted, "It's all bleeding, isn't that heroic?"

Xie Zhao was momentarily at a loss for words.

That day, the wound on his right leg was open, and there was indeed a lot of blood oozing out.According to what Pei Shaonan said, it seems that there is nothing wrong with describing his actions that day as heroic.

Pei Shaonan looked at him with an aggrieved face, his eyes were bent, and finally he felt relieved: no matter when and where he was teasing Xie Zhao, Pei Shaonan was always very interested.

He smiled and said, "Now Mr. Xie bravely broke into the Forbidden Court, the story of impeaching the black-hearted minister and subduing the bully in the capital has spread all over the capital. It's really gratifying, gratifying and congratulating." He propped his chin with one hand, as if recalling: " When I went to the teahouse yesterday, I heard a passage from Mr. Shu, and I think what he said was more ups and downs and exciting than what I saw with my own eyes, no wonder there are so many listeners."

How did it spread all over the capital?

Xie Zhao opened his eyes slightly, in disbelief: "How did the people outside know?"

"It's not some royal secret."

Pei Shaonan said: "Feng Ruiming has a very bad reputation in the capital. He used to bully men and women and bully others. The common people are very resentful towards him. You let him kick the iron plate this time. Everyone likes to hear about it."

Seeing that Xie Zhao was still frowning and worried, Pei Shaonan laughed and comforted him: "Don't worry, the storyteller in the teahouse will never keep telling a story. Even if he is willing to tell it, others will get tired of listening to it." Yes. Wait a few days for the crown prince and side concubine to get married, and everyone will immediately forget about you."

Xie Zhao was startled: "The crown prince is going to marry his side concubine?"

He thought of the extremely loving prince and concubine he saw at Lanyin Temple that day, and frowned: "...but isn't the concubine pregnant?"

Pei Shaonan sighed: "You have many kinds of love in the Xie family, but it doesn't mean that there are many kinds of love in the whole world."

Xie's family is very upright, Pei Shaonan went to Xie Zhao's grandfather and father only married one wife, so he couldn't help mentioning Xie Zhao: "No matter how much the crown prince loves the crown princess, there can't be only such a woman in his courtyard. "

The family has been an official for generations, and Pei Shaonan is extremely sensitive to certain things: "Even if the prince is willing, it depends on whether the emperor is willing or not, and it depends on whether the people behind the prince are willing or not."

After all, the person behind the crown prince is Xu Yixin, the prime minister with power over the court.

Thinking of his grandfather's evaluation of this person, the smile in Pei Shaonan's eyes also faded.

"Born in the royal family, it is inevitable that you can't help yourself."

Xie Zhao thought of the shy concubine standing beside the prince in Lanyin Temple, and also sighed: "In Lanyin Temple, the concubine's eyes couldn't be separated from the prince, so it can be seen that the love is deeply rooted. I'm afraid I'm going to feel bad."

Pei Shaonan felt that everyone had their own destiny, and the princess should be prepared for today when she married the prince.

He changed the subject: "Speaking of Lanyin Temple, when you were in danger, who do you think did it?"

When it comes to business, Xie Zhao's expression turned serious.Pei Shaonan and him have known each other since childhood, and his grandfather also said that this person is a reliable person, and Xie Zhao did not hide from him: "At first I thought that the person who attacked was targeting the prince and princess. My son was shocked, let alone the safety of the prince and princess, but at least the child in the prince's womb is very difficult to keep."

Pei Shaonan raised his eyebrows: "Then what do you think now?"

Xie Zhaoding looked at him, "I now feel that I am that person's target."

He smiled calmly, "From the beginning, he may have come for me."

Pei Shaonan asked, "Who do you think it is?"

Xie Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at the magnolia tree in the yard.He remembered that there were many magnolia trees planted in Lanyin Temple, and the plain white flowers protruded half of the body from the pavilions, reflecting the dark red walls and black tiles very beautifully.

Xie Zhao smiled: "Of course the person who benefits the most is the most suspicious."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked gentle and refined, and treated Xie Zhao very politely. Xie Zhao did not doubt him until Feng Delin was relegated.

Xie Zhao recalled afterwards that everything was too coincidental.

It was a coincidence to meet the prince and his wife in Lanyin Temple.

The horses were given medicine, but the princess suddenly felt sick on the way back, which was also a coincidence.

What's more coincidental is that although Feng Ruiming is a mindless person, no matter how arrogant he is in the capital, he has a limit. How could he suddenly do such a stupid thing as occupying a military woman?

Too many coincidences came together, and Xie Zhao couldn't let Xie Zhao think about it.In particular, Feng Delin was demoted, Cheng Wang's greatest helper in the court fell, and the crown prince became the biggest beneficiary.

If he wanted to use Xie Zhao's hand to get rid of the alien party, then he had indeed succeeded.

It's just that Xie Zhao couldn't figure it out: If the prince wanted to kill someone with a knife, why did he want to kill him that day at Lanyin Temple?If the crown prince treats him as a pawn, he shouldn't be in danger.

Thinking of this, Xie Zhao rubbed the center of his brows, and said with a headache, "It's better to be in Jiangnan, there are not so many rags in the capital."

He raised his head and asked Pei Shaonan: "What do you think about this?"

Pei Shaonan smiled: "I think the same as Ah Zhao."

In the past, he thanked the lord for thanking the lord for calling, but now he called A Zhao affectionately like when he was a child, "It seems that after all these years, the two of us still have a good understanding."

Xie Zhao was speechless, not knowing what to say for a while.

There was a sound of footsteps at the door.

Xie Zhao turned his head and saw Bingwen walking over excitedly carrying a food box: "Young Master, I've made a pastry. It's your favorite cloud cake. It's still hot!"

Seeing this, Xie Zhao sincerely said to Pei Shaonan: "In terms of tacit understanding with me, ten of you can't compare with one Bingwen."

He said disgustedly: "At least Bingwen knew that I was hungry, so he specially brought me pastries."

"I came to see Ah Zhao today, and I didn't come empty-handed."

Pei Shaonan said sadly: "How can Ah Zhao miss me so much?"

Xie Zhao looked at him warily: "What did you bring?"

Could it be another calligraphy and painting inspired by him?

"Isn't it enough that I bring myself?"

Pei Shaonan smiled and looked at Xie Zhao who had such an expression on his face: "Although I am not as famous as Mr. Xie, I am also considered well-known in the capital. I came to see Mr. Xie. What is there not to be satisfied with Mr. Xie?"

Xie Zhao pouted, and stuffed Yunpian Cake into his mouth, not wanting to waste words with Pei Shaonan.

As the days passed, Xie Zhao nestled in the house, feeling like he was about to get moldy.Fortunately, his leg injury finally healed before squatting himself into a mushroom.

The imperial doctor came to Xie Zhao's residence to remove the white cloth for Xie Zhao, and watched in amazement as the polite Sir Xie jumped off the bed, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "Be careful! Your injury is just right!"

The imperial physician broke his heart for Xie Zhao, but Xie Zhao himself didn't take it seriously.

As soon as the imperial doctor left in the afternoon, he ran to the next door and dragged Fu Ling out after dinner: "If I don't go out for a stroll, I won't even know the way to the capital."

Fu Ling couldn't hold him back, so he could only change into his clothes and go out with him.

The night market in Dayu was already bustling, Xie Zhao and Fu Ling went to the street, only to find that there were lights and festoons on the street tonight, and there was a constant exchange of young masters and ladies in brocade clothes.

Xie Zhao and Fu Ling were both outstanding in appearance, they were particularly conspicuous in the crowd, and the young women who came and went couldn't help but look shy when they passed by them.

Xie Zhao just wanted to ask Fu Ling what day it is today when he felt something hit him.

He was really quick to react. Before his mind could react, he swung his arm and knocked the thing back.

"What was that just now?"

Xie Zhao was still a little confused, he turned his head to ask Fu Ling, but met Fu Ling's complicated eyes.

Fu Ling was helpless: "It is said that if the girls in the capital are interested in any young master, they will throw their sachets over..."

That thing just now was actually a sachet?

Xie Zhao was shocked, and hurriedly looked to one side, and sure enough, he saw a young woman holding the sachet, looking at Xie Zhao with shy and angry eyes.She held the sachet for a while, her face gradually turned red from the strange eyes of the people around her, and finally stomped her feet heavily and left angrily.

Now Xie Zhao didn't even have a chance to explain.

Under the eyes of the condemning people around him, Xie Zhao shrank his neck, a little aggrieved: "How do I know what it is... Girls in Jiangnan are all giving melons and fruits..."

Fu Ling didn't want to embarrass him more, but he still couldn't help laughing out loud.

He held Xie Zhao's wrist, his usually cold face revealed an unseen tenderness in the night: "I'll take you out of here and go to another place for a walk."

After walking out of that street, Xie Zhao finally let out a sigh of relief: "It seems that I don't know enough about the capital."

Fu Ling laughed sullenly: "It's a pity that the girl paid for her friendship by mistake."

Xie Zhao was speechless: "I'm the one who can't stand her."

Just as the two were about to continue walking, they heard an old female voice from the side: "Thank you, sir!"

Xie Zhao turned his head in doubt, but saw an old woman who was selling sugar-fried chestnuts looking over in surprise: "Isn't this Mr. Xie?"

Xie Zhao felt that the old woman looked familiar.

Fortunately, he has a good memory and quickly remembered who the other party was: "It's you, mother-in-law."

The old woman smiled and nodded, looking at Xie Zhao with surprise and gratitude in her eyes: "It turns out that Mr. Xie still remembers me."

She stuffed two bags of sugar-fried chestnuts into Xie Zhao's hands: "This is a little sympathy from me to Mr. Xie. Take it and eat it with this friend beside you."

Xie Zhao wanted to pay, but the old woman was determined not to take the money. Xie Zhao had no choice but to accept two bags of fried chestnuts in sugar.

He said sincerely, "Thank you."

Hearing Xie Zhao thank you, the old woman smiled wrinkled.

She waved her hand cautiously: "I don't deserve your thanks." She smiled, "Today is the River God Festival, and there will be people from the dance band on the street to perform later, hurry up and take a seat." Good location, otherwise you won’t be able to see the performance after a while.”

It turned out to be the River God Festival, Xie Zhao suddenly realized.

After thanking the old woman, Xie Zhao handed a bag of fried chestnuts to Fu Ling: "I've been in the capital for so long, and I haven't seen the performance of the Dance Band yet."

Fu Ling was actually not interested in the show, but Xie Zhao wanted to see it, and he was willing to accompany Xie Zhao to join in the fun.
