Seeing that she wasn't really angry, Xie Wenhua smiled and poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "Don't you know you're worried about your home? So I didn't dare to tell you at all!"
Xie Songhua squinted his eyes and looked at him, "It's rare that the eldest brother will even consider his family."
The words were full of irony. Xie Wenhua scratched his head embarrassedly, and then asked in confusion: "How did you find out?"
Xie Songhua looked at him and felt humiliated for a while.
"The people brought by the third prince are a little wrong. Later, I asked the housekeeper of the royal palace and said that something suddenly happened in the suburbs of Beijing and some people were transferred."
Having said this, Xie Wenhua became clear and did not ask more questions. Instead, he became silent.
"But I don't understand, why did you rely on him without saying a word? He has nothing."
Xie Wenhua was very serious and his eyes fell on the darkened courtyard outside, "It can't be said that it was up to him! He just couldn't stand those two people.
In Dengzhou, you didn’t understand the situation inside. In the eyes of these two people, the lives of so many innocent people and soldiers were a tool for fighting for power and profit.
I am a martial artist and I have wanted to be a general since I was a child. No one knows better than me that the hardships of being a military general are the most important thing in this dynasty. Even if it is a child of aristocratic families like me, it is more difficult to take military merit than to take the imperial examination.
What's more, even if you have good luck and go all the way, you only have a few positions to reach the top. Don't think about the title. Except for generals like the prince, who else on the battlefield will not be able to see the faces of those scholars."
Speaking of the treatment of military generals, Xie Wenhua's face was full of resentment. "In the eyes of many people, military servants are synonymous with vulgarity, like a group of puppets who can't use their brains. In the eyes of the top power, they are almost numbers that can be increased or decreased at any time."
Xie Songhua was silent for a while. She could understand Xie Wenhua's mood, but she still couldn't understand him and turned to support the Fourth Prince. "Do you think the Fourth Prince is different?"
"Well!" Xie Wenhua admitted it directly, "When I was in Dengzhou, I could see his regret for the innocent soldiers and the people, and... in Dengzhou at that time, he did not look like a prince in many details.
I talked with him carefully and realized that the prince was often hungry when he was young. When he was studying in the Imperial College, he took leave and left Beijing and went to study for three years. However, no one paid attention to him, so no one even knew about him from Kyoto.
When he told me about what happened at that time, I heard his profound insights into the lives of the people in the world, and his love and concern for this country."
Xie Songhua didn't understand the Fourth Prince, but only remembered that he looked like a weak scholar, and he really didn't have the coquettish aura of other princes.
"But this is not the reason why you surrender to him with your whole family," Xie Songhua's tone became weaker after all. "If my father knew about this..."
"Who said I want to surrender to him?" Xie Wenhua rolled his eyes, "I just reached out to help him. What if he is really a person who can help him up, wouldn't I also make some contributions to the people of the world?
Even if I can't help it up, I won't be in the way. Except for you, who knows that I'm doing something here?"
Xie Songhua gave him a blank look and said nothing.
If she hadn't seen the person at the palace gate as familiar as she thought for a long time before she remembered that she had seen Xie Wenhua by her side, she wouldn't have thought about it.
And just now, he was just a lot of tricks, but this brother couldn't hide it in his heart, so he caught it in a few words.
The reason why I guessed it was the fourth prince, on the one hand, was that at the queen's banquet, the fourth princess Fang Jieyou's behavior was a bit too silent.
I have never seen Fang Jieyou in the palace before. Although he came from a small place, he was the granddaughter of the great scholar of Jiangnan. He has always been good at dealing with people and things.
But today's Fang Jieyou is too silent. This silence is not like the cautiousness of being afraid of the queen, but more like a kind of forbearing waiting.
Further down the road, it is in the Qianyuan Palace.
Although she did not get close, she clearly saw the Fourth Prince.
There must be more than Xie Wenhua's power here, and more deeply, Xie Songhua cannot understand more.
The main purpose of her appearance today is to serve Zhuo Yuan. As long as the master can leave safely, she would not care about the rest.
But now it seems that I am afraid that I still have to get angry with Xiao Yu first in this matter.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xie Wenhua thought she was worried, so he repeatedly promised that there was absolutely no problem.
"So, what are you going to do in the future?" Xie Songhua came to his senses, but there was still no smile on his face. "I advise you to be careful. It would be better to say something to your uncle and my father."
"Don't worry, I know it in my heart."
After seeing Xie Wenhua off, Xie Songhua originally wanted to practice two words and then went to bed directly, but he always felt uneasy.
When I entered the East Cross Courtyard, my face suddenly changed.
"Aunt Lan!" After calling, I remembered that Aunt Lan was worried about the situation at home and had already gone back tonight.
When Dingxiang heard her voice was wrong, she hurriedly walked in, "Girl, what's wrong?"
"Who has touched the things on my desk?"
Dingxiang was confused when she heard this, turned around and looked at Xie Songhua's table, and said in surprise: "No one has ever come in!"
Seeing Xie Songhua's expression, she became nervous, "The girl kept saying that this place was important, and everyone under her was told not to come in. On weekdays, only Aunt Lan and Cuiliu came in.
Today Cuiliu helped inquire about the news in the outer courtyard. Aunt Lan and I have come in once, and no one else has come in. The things on this table..."
She looked at it carefully for a while before shook her head gently and said, "It's always been like this, I haven't seen anything wrong!"
Xie Songhua looked at the glass bottle on the table and his eyebrows were furrowing.
It is normal for Dingxiang and Aunt Lan to not see it, because the lost things are very small and you can’t see it without looking carefully, but she knows it clearly.
Two missing items in the glass bottle that just condensed last night.
With so many days of hard work, she can see these things every day by scanning them at a glance.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Dingxiang became anxious, "Otherwise, I would ask Madam Zhu to call everyone over and ask together."
"Need not!"
Xie Songhua waved his hand.
Dingxiang had already walked out for a few steps and stopped immediately, asking in confusion: "Why? As long as it is someone from our yard, you can always find it if you want to check it."
"Don't alert the enemy," Xie Songhua waved his hand. "Since he can take it away like this, he is not a simple person, let alone a simple way to ask. Forget it, don't talk about it out, just be clear about it."
Dingxiang wanted to say something, but seeing Xie Songhua's firm attitude, he did not persist anymore. He just frowned and hid something in his heart.
When the room became quiet, Xie Songhua looked at the things in the glass bottle at the light, frowned even deeper.
