Wen Yan patted his shoulder and said, "You are worried about the Xia family, and so am I. Don't think too much."
Wen Heng stared at him, only to see Wen Yan curl his lips and said, "You can also understand that I don't want to be your enemy."
Wen Heng knew some things that Wen Yan didn't know. For example, Xia Zhiliao said that Wen Yan and Lu Seyan were a couple, but looking at Wen Yan's attitude towards the Xia family now, it seems that he is not going in that direction.
"If you don't want anything to happen to the Xia family, then stay away from Zhiliao." Wen Heng said in a deep voice.
Wen Yan smiled, "I think you got it exactly the opposite. You should stay away from her, but I can protect her."
Wen Heng clenched his hands into fists.
What he understood was that Wen Yan was demonstrating against him.
After all, he is the beloved son, and many people can be pushed out as targets for him.
How could Wen Heng admit defeat like this? He raised the corner of his lips and asked, "What about the young lady of the Lu family?"
Wen Yan smiled faintly, "What rumors have you heard?"
"What are you talking about? I just happened to need to talk to you guys about something, and I didn't expect you two to be together."
The appearance of Wen Chao broke the deadlock, and the two men put away their sharp edges.
Wen Heng actually thought that maybe he could really give up his obsession, but now he knew clearly that if he didn't stand at the top, he wouldn't even be able to protect the people he wanted to protect.
"What's the matter?" Wen Yan asked.
Wen Chao lowered his shoulders and said, "My second brother's little daughter is about to turn one month old. What are you planning to give her?"
Wen Heng's expression changed slightly, it seemed that these things would never happen to him.
"This matter, I thought it was something else."
Wen Chao looked at Wen Yan, "Is this still a small matter? Then what is a big deal? We are uncles after all, so we should prepare generous gifts."
He glanced at Wen Heng and asked, "What do you think?"
Wen Heng didn't say anything. He didn't care. They were not closely related. If he wanted to give a gift, he could just do it the same as everyone else. For a girl, it would just be jewelry. A baby who is one month old is also considered a girl.
"It will be a few days soon. Zhiliao should also go. I'll ask her to check my health later. I can't even trust the imperial doctors now because of the situation. I always feel like they want to harm me."
Wen Chao didn't know that the two of them had almost had a quarrel because of Xia Zhiliao, so he brought it up heartlessly at this time.
Wen Heng hasn't seen Xia Zhi for some time since that day.
But he knew that with Princess Yi Yang as her grandmother protecting her, the little girl would be fine, and she was very smart and knew how to seize opportunities.
He originally didn't plan to go, but since he could see her, he decided to go.
"It's too...big brother has been ruled out now. Who do you think among the remaining people wants to harm us?" Wen Chao asked.
Wen Yan turned to look at Wen Heng as if nothing had happened, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Wen Heng remembered the little girl saying that after the Crown Prince got into trouble, the Second Prince Wen Chun and the Third Prince Wen Ting quarreled fiercely. The Second Prince was gentle, while the Third Prince was martial and acted decisively. The others were still young and, in their opinion, had no competitiveness.
It's probably between the two of them.
But of course he couldn't say anything without evidence.
"I don't know." Wen Heng said.
Wen Yan also shook his head. "There is no evidence at the moment. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. It is better to be careful."
Wen Chao took a breath. He was now afraid that he was poisoned and wished he could drink antidote every day.
But will this also cause poisoning?
The second prince has reached adulthood and has been given the title of King Rui, with a mansion outside the palace.
This full moon banquet was for the first daughter he and Princess Rui had, and all the guests were close to him.
He has always been careful about his reputation and does not want to be known for accepting gifts lavishly and colluding with officials.
But Princess Rui also has close friends, and although the wedding was not extravagant, quite a few people still came.
The Queen Mother and Emperor Shunde also gave rewards, but no one came.
Princess Rui felt sad, thinking that perhaps if she had given birth to a son, things would not be like this.
Princess Yi Yang did not attend the event in person, but instead asked Chang Yue and her daughter Xia Zhiliao to come.
Chang Yue didn't like such scenes, but Princess Yi Yang said that these were inevitable when living in the capital in the future, and she had to learn how to socialize.
Fortunately, her daughter was with her, otherwise Chang Yue would have felt uncomfortable all over.
Although it was not a grand ceremony, many people still came. After all, the position of Crown Prince was currently vacant, and the Second Prince was both kind and virtuous, as well as the oldest in line, so many people came to curry favor with him.
Xia Zhiliao saw an old acquaintance there, Su Qinjun, who should have been chosen as the prince's concubine. It was not excessive for her to come this time, but she wondered whether her old friend Jiang Xiaoying would come.
"Zhi-la, Zhi-la!" Wen Chao shouted loudly, as if the two people were very unfamiliar with each other.
Xia Zhiliao looked over and shook her head. She was worried about her mother.
Chang Yue was afraid that her daughter would be bored with her. Children this young would love to play around. "Go ahead. Mommy is fine here."
"I'm not going." Xia Zhi shook her head, but Wen Chao took out a jade bracelet with good water content and color, and shook it there.
Xia Zhiliao knew what he meant.
Really, is she short of money now?
He wanted to trick her with a jade bracelet.
You know, her jade bracelet is even more powerful, it contains everything.
Xia Zhiliao refused again, but Wen Chao was very angry. This girl was becoming increasingly difficult to hire.
There was no other choice but for him to come here in person.
"I know, I have something to talk to you about."
Chang Yue smiled and said, "Go ahead. Mom won't go far. She'll wait for you here."
She knew her daughter was worried about her.
Xia Zhiliao sighed, a little reluctantly, as if he had guessed what he was going to ask, "You are not sick, you are not poisoned, and your arm is almost healed, there will be no sequelae."
Wen Chao: “…”
"Ahem...how do you know?"
Xia Zhiliao was puzzled. Why was he so afraid of death? He had never seen anyone who valued life more than him.
"Every time you see me, it's always about this matter?" Xia Zhiliao rolled his eyes.
"Hey, you haven't even checked my pulse, how do you know I'm fine?"
"If you don't believe me, then why are you asking me?" Xia Zhiliao said proudly.
Wen Chao was once again speechless, "Don't be angry, I didn't say I don't trust you, I just wanted to take a closer look, okay?"
Xia Zhiliao couldn't stand his constant nagging and checked his pulse, "Hiss..."
"It's over, it's over. Am I poisoned? I just want to take your pulse. It's very careful."
Xia Zhiliao didn't know whether to laugh or not, she was doing it on purpose, "Eat more vegetables and less meat, have you been feeling dry lately?"
"Ahem..." Wen Chao's face looked grim. "You...why do you say anything?"
Xia Zhi looked very proud, "Didn't you ask me to see it? Then I won't say it anymore?"
