Spring nights are cold.

Pei's concubines, illegitimate sons and daughters, and a group of others were on the street, not knowing where to go.

It's not that we have nowhere to go, but we don't know how we'll be arranged to go.

Besides, the Li family didn't get their hands on so many things, shouldn't they belong to them?

But there's nowhere to reason with people, and hardly anyone dares to wander the streets these days.

Curfew was approaching, and the guards urged them to leave quickly.

They had been kicked out earlier. Pei Bo's return didn't mean he approved of their return; he just wanted something in return.

Pei Huanli pulled the person aside and asked, "May I see the Crown Princess?"

Bingwei didn't take her purse, but just sneered: "You still want to see Lady Huan? Go dream about finding a place to sleep."

Pei Huanli felt particularly wronged.

Although she is a beauty, few dare to associate with the Pei family nowadays; it's quite frightening.

From the Cao family killing Pei Su to the Qian family killing the Cao family, the old grudges that were brought up led to the Li family killing the Marquis of Jianchang. In the end, Pei Bo killed the Li family to avenge his grandfather? Chang Ziyu failed to become a phoenix, so she killed the Qian family.

Look at this family, is there a single normal one?

Pei Huanjiao ran into Yongjiafang.

Pei Huanli quickly followed.

In Sheng'an, you've probably all heard that Princess Huayang and Princess Yongjia were at Changchun Temple.

Going to Changchun Temple is a good idea. Even though she's become the Taihua Zhenren and Taiqing Zhenren, she's still the emperor's daughter, isn't she?

Pei Huanli was overthinking it.

Going out like this would likely result in her being sold. All she wanted was a place to stay.

The concubines, illegitimate children, servants, and some passersby of the Pei family all came to Changchun Temple, which was quite a sight.

But Changchun Temple had no intention of welcoming them.

It was desolate inside, though the wind carried the fragrance of flowers.

But there was a wall around it, and people were watching over it.

This isn't a dilapidated temple you can just walk into. It's more like a royal residence, albeit a bit run-down. Perhaps that reflects the current situation of the two princesses?

Pei Huanjiao cried out anxiously, "I want to go in and see the princess!"

The kind-hearted guard at the door offered a friendly reminder: "Are you going to jail or not?"

Pei Huanjiao was stunned, and extremely unwilling!

Hahaha! Those who came along saw the show; this Pei family still coveted the royal family until their dying day. And they had such inexplicable confidence.

Pei Huanli burst into tears.

Someone asked, "Are you going to Jinyin Pavilion?"

Pei Huanli was so frightened that she ran away immediately. She wouldn't go to a place like that even if she grabbed anyone at random.

**

The East Palace and Qing'e Palace are now brightly lit.

The Crown Prince probably won't be able to sleep tonight. He won't be able to sleep until he finds out the truth.

The hall was quite clean.

He sits on the throne now, and looks quite good.

Huan Yue and Xie Zhou sat on the east side, with the Crown Prince above them.

Huan Yue was sleeping before, but he has now changed into casual clothes.

Xie Zhou held his wife's hand and pulled out the things hidden in the darkness, cleaning them up as thoroughly as possible.

Although there are only so many people in the palace, there are still quite a few. It's impossible to investigate them all one by one, and that would only create chaos.

Besides, who will check each one? Generally speaking, it doesn't matter; we can check properly now.

The King of Wu sat opposite him, quietly drinking tea.

Xie Su was kneeling, and when the sage told him to get up, he went outside and knelt down again.

We will not force him now, but will discuss with the King of Wu: "Shall we posthumously confer upon Xie Xuan the title of Prince of Yongning?"

The King of Wu was blunt with him: "It's fine to confer a title of nobility. Anyway, he has never suffered any hardship since birth, nor has he made any great contributions. Conferring a title of nobility is all thanks to the blessings of his ancestors."

Today, some say, "Let him be posthumously granted the title of Duke of Xin. He was a very good child; it's a pity."

King Wu thanked him and said, "Xie Su, let him stay in the separate residence for a few years. Isn't Xie Su a mathematician? Let Xie Su see what he likes and find him something to do later."

Huan Yue asked, "What is Yang Tao planning to do? I don't want to break them up, I'm just worried that my wife won't be able to keep quiet."

King Wu nodded: "Let's get a divorce. Lady Yang is not a virtuous woman."

I'm really worried about what she might do in the future. He may not have much affection for his son, but he has even less affection for his daughter-in-law.

Huan Yue said, "The Yang family has nowhere to go now, so why not send them to Changchun Temple as well?"

The King of Wu saw that she was truly kind, and that becoming a nun would at least save her life.

Huan Yue explained, "It's a mother-child bond. Mother and child can see each other in the future, and when the child grows up, he can bring his mother over to take care of her."

The premise is that the mother needs to understand. Even if she truly understands, she probably wouldn't want to go? But going wouldn't be a big deal.

The King of Wu thought for a moment, then said nothing. After all, it was still early.

Perhaps he will be dead by then, and his grandson will have to support his mother. Why should the King of Wu care so much?

Should we summon Xie Su and ask him what he thinks?

What could Xie Su say? Ever since he was no longer a prince, even though Yang's own family was ruined, she was still very unwilling.

Xie Su said, "There are still some people in the Yang family, and Madam Yang plans to help them. It would be great if she were willing to go."

Definitely not, then let's get a divorce.

Xie Su thought for a moment and then asked for permission: "I have always been interested in this, so if I may be so bold as to ask, is it possible for me to go to the Ordnance Bureau?"

Huan Yue nodded.

Looking at her today.

Huan Yue blinked: "There's so much to do! It needs to be kept secret, and you need to be smart. I think my cousin is quite good. But research is very tedious, it can easily cause hair loss, and you might even become obsessed."

The King of Wu still stopped him, saying, "Give him something to keep an eye on, and we'll talk about it again in two years."

Huan Yue nodded: "Uncle should have faith in my cousin. This field is still not perfect, and it seems that the smart ones are all pursuing the imperial examinations. Actually, science and engineering are more attractive."

Xie Zhou said, "Words are also very charming."

King Wu thought to himself, "Qing'e knows too much. Even if Xie Su wanted to do something, he probably couldn't."

Xie Su suddenly felt like he'd been tricked.

I've figured it out now.

If we can keep Xie Su in check, why should we be afraid? Besides, all the things Han Oumo mentioned still need to be done by someone.

Xie Su is capable of taking charge of a certain area. With the King of Wu overseeing things, I feel relatively at ease.

As for the King of Wu, once he loses his nerve, it will be difficult to regain it. We should try to win him over.

Xie Zhou held his wife's hand, implying that he was treating Xie Su like a beast of burden? He had the magnanimity to do so.

When King Xiang and King Jing arrived, they saw the two elder brothers' families chatting happily, while the other brothers seemed unable to get involved.

King Jing cursed his elder brother inwardly, having been won over by his second brother's small favors once again. Xie Yu was truly cunning!

The King of Wu remained remarkably calm.

Wouldn't it be better to be the first king of Zhao? For now, he's still under the Song king, but at least he's a few generations older.

With the prestige of the King of Song, he also had considerable influence within the royal family.

The King of Wu didn't want anything else; he just wanted to keep an eye on the Xie family for his father.

Seeing that Qing'e was always fawning over her sister-in-law, it's clear that the King of Wu, as her uncle, still held a certain status.

King Xiang and King Jing knelt down.

Looking at the blue moths nowadays, how would you like to launch a wave of attacks?

Xie Su blinked. The sage was too kind to Qing'e.

Huan Yue did not become arrogant because of the favor he received, and his anger had almost subsided by now.

Or perhaps she's just too lazy to think about ordinary people; she's incredibly sleepy right now.

Now that I'm older, I'm even more tired.

King Xiang and King Jing prepared to fight back.

The current approach is quite straightforward: "Go and kneel outside the Fengxian Hall for three days first."

The King of Wu thought it was a good idea; he was the oldest and it was time for him to go back and get his beauty sleep.

If something comes up, we can talk about it tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, or the day after that.

Everything else is a minor matter; dealing with King Xiang and King Jing is the real issue.
