Xiao Chengci and Shang Huai made a superficial reconciliation yesterday.

In reality, their resentment towards each other had not dissipated.

Pei Minxue left, and no one in the mansion could stop the two of them.

The servants waiting outside the hall heard a loud noise coming from inside and immediately rushed in.

Then you see His Majesty and the Marquis wrestling together.

The guards immediately went up to restrain Shang Huai.

"All of you, step back. This is a private matter between me and him, and no one is allowed to interfere."

Xiao Chengci's personal guards naturally dared not make a move.

However, the soldiers of Shanghuai's garrison still hesitated.

"Get out, all of you. We'll handle our private matters ourselves."

Xiao Chengci and Shang Huai had wanted to fight for a long time.

They wanted to fight when Xiao Chengci was still the crown prince.

After Pei Zhi died and Xiao Chengci ascended the throne, the two of them severed all ties.

Pei Zhi is gone, and they've lost interest in arguing anymore; even if they won, it wouldn't make a difference.

Now that Pei Zhi is back, things are naturally different.

Shang Huai was, after all, a military general, and moreover, he showed no regard for His Majesty Xiao Chengci's status.

Xiao Chengci also practiced martial arts from a young age. The teachers that the late emperor hired for Xiao Chengci were all generals who had retired from the battlefield.

The two fought fiercely, neither willing to back down.

In the study, Pei Zhi was originally reading a book.

But reading doesn't calm my mind.

Pei Zhi found some Xuan paper, ground it herself, and began practicing calligraphy.

Practicing calligraphy can calm the mind, and I hope to become more detached from worldly desires.

She couldn't afford to offend either Shang Huai or Xiao Chengci.

Shang Huai is too naive; if she continues down this path, she will inevitably have to take responsibility.

As for Xiao Chengci, he was, after all, an emperor.

If she were to abandon the emperor after starting a relationship with him, she would be easily caught by pursuers no matter where she fled to in the future, which would not be worthwhile.

Anyway, she has lost her memory now and forgotten her past.

It's better to just forget about it completely.

Why bother getting entangled with them when you've already forgotten them?

Shang Huai has a good physique, but this is Beicheng.

There are military generals everywhere, and she refuses to believe that she can't find one with a better figure than Shang Huai.

As for looks, take your time, you'll find them eventually.

If you can't find someone who surpasses either of them, finding someone similar shouldn't be too difficult.

Pei Zhi practiced calligraphy while thinking.

"Oh no! Oh no! His Majesty and the Marquis are fighting!"

Pei Zhi's pen trembled, and ink dripped onto the paper.

"What?"

"Miss, His Majesty and the Marquis are fighting. Why don't you go and take a look?"

"The servants were all dismissed, and with Vice Minister Pei not around, no one dared to step forward to break up the fight."

But the servants were also afraid that something might happen to His Majesty and the Marquis.

It's likely that all the servants in their household will be punished.

Pei Zhi sighed softly; her thoughts just now were absolutely correct.

She really shouldn't have gotten involved with those two people.

"I'll go take a look."

Pei Zhi put down her pen, and a servant hurriedly led the way for her.

When Pei Zhi arrived, there were chairs scattered all over the dining room floor.

Xiao Chengci and Shang Huai have already separated.

The two of them sat down with their backs against the pillar, both with cuts on their lips and panting heavily. The way they looked at each other was as if they wanted to fight again.

Pei Zhi slowed her hurried pace after seeing that the two had separated.

"Bring me a cup of tea."

Pei Zhi lifted her skirt and walked into the dining room.

Pei Zhi picked up the chair that had fallen over by the door and then sat down.

Throughout the entire process, Pei Zhi did not glance at Xiao Chengci and Shang Huai even once, as if the two of them did not exist.

After Pei Zhi took her seat, a servant quickly brought over tea.

Pei Zhi took the tea and slowly sipped it.

Pei Zhi took a few sips of tea. "Why did you stop fighting?"

"I rushed over here just to see a good show."

Pei Zhi's expression was calm, but Xiao Chengci and Shang Huai both knew that Pei Zhi was unhappy.

Xiao Chengci first explained, "Ah Huai and I had a disagreement about some official matters, which led to a small argument."

"Men, it's easier to solve problems with fists and feet."

Shang Huai wasn't stupid, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

“Your Majesty is right. We are cousins, after all, which makes us different from ordinary subjects.”

Pei Zhi handed the teacup to the servants beside her, "I didn't say anything, why are you all so nervous?"

"Since you've already been beaten, let the servants apply some medicine to you. I'm going out for a stroll."

Xiao Chengci and Shang Huai said in unison, "I'll go with you."

Pei Zhi replied without hesitation, "No."

"You guys should take a good look in the mirror. I don't want to go out with you."

Xiao Chengci and Shang Huai exchanged a glance.

The two of them had just started fighting and didn't have many reservations.

Seeing the injuries on the other person's face, he knew that his own face was probably in no better shape.

Regardless of their thoughts, Pei Zhi turned to leave.

Shang Huai instructed, "Take a few servants with you when you go out. If you need to buy anything, have them pay for it."

"Let the guards come along too, lest they run into someone who doesn't know what's good for them."

"You can bring them, but don't let them report my every move to you."

Pei Zhi knew perfectly well what Xiao Chengci and Shang Huai were up to.

Both of them were afraid that Pei Zhi would be unhappy, so they naturally nodded in agreement.

Pei Zhi came quickly and left quickly.

After Pei Zhi left, Xiao Chengci and Shang Huai exchanged another glance.

In the end, both of them sighed deeply.
