I was a salted fish in ancient times

When Xie Chen asked this question, he didn't think about getting any answer, he just reminded Xie Zhui.

He didn't know Xiao Shan well, and what he knew and heard about Xiao Shan came from those rumors.But in those rumors, Xiao Shan was not a person worthy of entrusting his life, not even a good person.

But today Xiao Shan accompanied Xie Zhui to Xie's house, and he looked like a sensible person to him.Xie Chen estimated in his heart, at least on the surface, Xiao Shan still valued Xie Zhui more.

At least it won't make him look bad in front of others.

But Xie Chen didn't need to think about what the capital would be like after today.

The endless rumors will overshadow Xie Zhui's credit and make people discuss his identity again.

Not many people in the capital would remember how long Xie Zhui had protected the country and saved the people in the north from being plundered, how many times he had repelled the enemies, let alone how many times he had been injured and how many people he had saved .

People's hearts are the most easily provoked thing. Under the instigation of caring people, everyone will only feel that Xie Zhui is a little brother, but he has been hanging around with men for several years.It is inevitable to meet in the military camp, and they would say that under such circumstances, how could Xie Zhui maintain his innocence.

Some people don't care about other people's lives for their own benefit.As the saying goes, people's words are scary, when such words reach Xiao Shan's ears, what will Xie Zhui face?

At that time, some people will say that Xie Zhui was rejected by Xiao Shan so what, he asked for it.If Xie Zhui hadn't impersonated himself to join the army, how could there be such rumors.

Thinking of the tomorrow that Xie Zhui would face, Xie Chen felt chills in his heart.

Sometimes he really hated himself, if the Xie family was not in a life-and-death situation that year, if he hadn't been poisoned and blinded, then he was the one who supported the Xie family on the battlefield.

This little brother Xie Zhui doesn't have to shoulder the responsibilities of the Xie family at all, let alone being judged.

Xie Zhui's sins and gossip were all because of him, it was he who didn't protect Xie Zhui well.

Xie Chen didn't want Xie Zhui to face such a situation, but he couldn't pretend that he didn't know what was going on, and then said some empty words of comfort.

All he can do is give Xie Zhui the most absolute support.

"Never wrong yourself, and don't be afraid of those rumors. As long as you don't fear them, they can't hurt you." Xie Chen calmly said his truest thoughts: "It doesn't matter if Xiao Shan is the prince, you still want us to thank you." As for the young master of the family, at worst, the two of us will be companions for the rest of our lives."

Xie Zhui looked at Xie Chen, he didn't answer Xie Chen's words, but asked: "Brother, if you encountered such a thing, what would you do?"

Xie Chen thought about it seriously and said, "Check the rumors and give them the minimum respect."

Knowing that Xie Chen couldn't see it, Xie Zhui still lowered his eyes: "Brother, that's what the prince did in the beginning. He didn't even check those rumors and gave me the most basic respect. I believe he will still do this in the future , I'm not afraid of these rumors, and the prince doesn't even care about them. He will only feel that his ears have been polluted when he hears it."

Xie Chen actually wanted to know about Xie Zhui's life after getting married, but as Xie Zhui's older brother, he really didn't know how to open his mouth.

Hearing Xie Zhui's words now, he couldn't help asking: "Really? Xiao Shan is really not angry because of those rumors?"

Xie Zhui hummed: "He doesn't care about that at all, the prince is a very special person, not at all like the rumors."

He avoided what Xiao Shan had done these days and said everything else.

After listening to Xie Zhui's words, Xie Chen said dumbly for a moment: "Listen to you, he is a man of temperament." He is smart and neither loves power nor shy away from his power. In actual actions, he is not a master who likes to suffer.

"What about the rumors..."

Xie Zhui: "Brother, you also said it was a rumor."

Xie Chen was stunned and smiled slightly: "That's right, you shouldn't trust rumors, I'm too biased." To his relatives, Xie Zhui, he could rationally analyze those rumors and then break through and defend Xie Zhui, but he didn't have this heart when dealing with others.

It is true that the human heart is inherently biased.

Xie Zhui said: "Actually, those rumors are nothing. The prince is indeed not particularly ambitious, he doesn't like reading, and his handwriting is not very beautiful. If you can push the emperor's order, you can push it. If you can't push it, you will go." Do it but definitely complain. He thinks about how to eat and drink every day. Isn’t this stubborn and uneducable in the eyes of others.”

Xie Chen: "..." It sounds pretty bad.

Xiao Shan is also a prince, he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, he has an emperor as his father and a good-connected prince brother.As long as he changes his family, he will not be able to be chic these days.

Xie Chen was actually a little worried, because Xiao Shan had been tied to the prince's boat since he was born.

In case the prince...

But he didn't say these words, and there is no need to say them at this time.If he is a crow's mouth, life will be difficult for Xiao Shan and Xie Zhui.

With a general understanding of Xiao Shan in his heart, Xie Chen changed the subject and talked about something else.They didn't talk about the Northern Frontier Army returning to Beijing, nor did they recall the past, but they talked about what each other was doing and what kind of life they lived during the period after they separated.

Both of them were very happy in their hearts. Xie Chen also drank some wine during lunch. He didn't drink very well, and he poured down only three glasses.

But Xie Zhui let him drink it.

After Xie was intoxicated, he was very quiet and didn't make any fuss. He kept saying to Xie Zhui all day: "You and I are left in the Xie family. You have to be good."

Xie Zhui responded to him sentence by sentence.

Xie Zhui said, "I will be fine."

In the afternoon, Xiao Shan came to pick him up.

Xie Chen was already asleep, Xiao Shan didn't let anyone wake him up, but took Xie back to the palace.

On the way, Xiao Shan said, "Brother, are you all right?"

Xie Zhui shook his head: "It's okay, he's just very happy."

Xiao Shan said in his heart, you are also very happy, your eyes are bright.

He didn't say this joke, but said: "I want to enter the palace tomorrow and tell my father to bring Su Yuyi so that he can show my elder brother's eyes. No matter what the result is, I have to give it a try." Good. Brother, is he willing?"

Some people are unwilling to expose their scars, and some people have seen doctors countless times in this situation, and each time they become more numb, and in the end they become desperate to see a doctor.He didn't know what Xie Chen was thinking about this, so he could only ask Xie Zhui first.

Xie Zhui said: "Brother is definitely willing. Over the years, he has been looking for various famous doctors to see his eyes. He said that as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not give up."

Xiao Shan: "That's good." He admired Xie Chen quite a bit, but for Xie Chen, he lost his light overnight.He didn't give up on himself, nor was he discouraged, nor did he accept his fate, and he kept thinking about how to detoxify.

Not everyone can do this.

Xie Zhui said earnestly, "I thank you on behalf of my elder brother."

Xiao Shan shook his head: "No need."

Not wanting Xie Zhui to continue entangled in this issue, Xiao Shan said: "Wang's Mansion and Xie's Mansion are not far away, you can go whenever you want."

Xie Zhui's heart trembled slightly when he heard this, he looked away and said, "Brother, he must be very happy to hear this, he has been very worried about me these days."

Xiao Shan looked at him: "What are you worried about?"

Xie Zhui: "I'm worried that some rumors about me will dissatisfy the prince."

Xiao Shan blinked, and suddenly understood what he meant, he laughed, Xie Zhui, is he using a roundabout tactic to ask himself what he thinks?

Xiao Shan didn't answer right away, but took Xie Zhui's hand and played it back and forth for a while, then he said: "I asked you about the wedding day."

Xie Zhui suddenly thought of the scene at that time.

Xiao Shan leaned down and asked him two questions, one is if there is anyone he likes, and the other is whether he hates him.

Xie Zhui answered no twice, and then everything became logical.

Xie Zhui's throat tightened a little, he said, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that I'm lying to you?"

Xiao Shan raised his eyebrows and jokingly said, "What did you lie to me? My body?"

Xie Zhui: "..."

Xie Zhui pursed his lips: "No, I mean, does the prince believe whatever I say?"

Xiao Shan nodded, then leaned over and whispered in Xie Zhui's ear: "I have eyes to see, ears to hear, and hands to confirm. I know best what kind of person you are."

"Rumors are rumors after all. If I listen to them, I won't be able to..."

Xiao Shan obviously didn't say anything too embarrassing, but Xie Zhui blushed because of the unclean words.

Xie Zhui thought he was crazy.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, he said in front of Xie Chen that Xiao Shan would not believe those rumors, and he said those words forcefully and firmly.Seeing Xiao Shan, he suddenly thought about it, he wanted to hear those words from Xiao Shan himself.

The coachman outside drove towards the palace, and the two people in the car were speechless.

The red candle was half-burned that night.

Xie Zhui buried his head in the pillow, clutching the quilt tightly with his hands, he gritted his teeth and did not make a sound.

Xiao Shan deliberately lowered his voice and called his name in his ear, his voice was extremely hoarse

Xie Zhui had tears in the corners of his eyes, he wanted to open his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

The red candles in the room were burning all the time, and the people's voices were low.

***

The next day, Xiao Shan entered the palace, and Xie Zhui went to Xie's mansion again.

On the way to Xie's mansion, when he was about to reach Xie's mansion, someone bumped into his carriage.The man insisted that he was hit by a carriage, lying on the ground and howling that he had hit someone to death.

Xie Zhui heard the noisy voice and opened the curtain, before seeing the appearance of the people on the ground, he saw Zuo Li, Yin Tong and Xu Guang coming out of the restaurant not far away and walking towards this side.

Zuo Li saw Xie Zhui first.

His expression froze, he stopped, and Yin Tong from behind bumped straight into him, and the two of them almost fell into a ball. Seeing this situation, Xu Guang pouted and moved aside.

After standing still, Yin Tong touched his sore nose and said, "I said, what's wrong with you, your legs are weakened by the bustling capital and you can't walk anymore?"

Zuo Li didn't speak and looked straight ahead, Xu Guang followed his line of sight in surprise, and saw Xie Zhui in the carriage at a glance.

Xu Guang's heart moved, but no thoughts floated up in his mind. At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "The one lying on the ground, the carriage in front of you is Prince Li's mansion, and the one sitting in it is Prince Li. If you die, stand up quickly."

"Li Wangjun?" The crowd who watched the excitement all looked in the direction of the carriage in an uproar.

Yin Tong covered his nose and widened his eyes, and naturally saw Xie Zhui.

Before he could react to what was going on, he heard someone say again: "Standing by the restaurant in front are those generals who just returned to Beijing from the northern border yesterday. Speaking of which, they used to belong to Prince Li. The subordinates are familiar with Li Wangjun. They have a friendship of eating and living together."

The crowd erupted with these words, they looked at Zuo Li and the others, and at Xie Zhui who was in the carriage.

Eyes are full of scrutiny, eyes full of excitement.

After that, all kinds of words came one after another, and all kinds of pointers were pointed at Xie Zhui and the three of them.

Li Wangjun and the general of the northern border, eat and live together...

The connection of such words made those who are interested couldn't help but want to explore. The words they said rolled into a huge snowball and drowned Xie Zhui, Zuo Li, Yin Tong and Xu Guang.
