This is also why they directly asked Yinliu who she liked instead of asking who liked Yinliu.
But Xu Tianze actually gave Yin Liu the right to choose freely, not to choose from a specific party, not to choose from a fixed number of people, but to choose anyone.
"Sir, I will not marry. I will always serve you." Yin Liu's eyes were red, and she was grateful to Xu Tianze in her heart.
Ever since she understood the intentions of the Second Prince and his companions, she had thought that she would marry whoever the Young Master wanted her to marry.
As a servant, the young master treated her well and she had no complaints. Moreover, he did not assign her to the old or disabled, which made her satisfied.
She didn't expect that her own master would be willing to give her the right to choose freely. She was so moved that she couldn't repay him.
"Whether to get married or not is up to you. Go and take this box of pastries out and share it among you. It's time to set off soon." Xu Tianze smiled and pushed the box of pastries in front of him.
As for what decision Yin Liu will make in the end, Xu Tianze will not interfere. After all, the final path still needs to be walked by Yin Liu herself.
"Yes." Yinliu wiped her tears and walked out with the remaining snacks.
"Aze is still as kind-hearted as ever." After seeing Yinliu leave, Long Musi picked up the teacup in his hand and drank it slowly.
"I am struggling to survive the conspiracy and calculation, so why should I let her be involved in interests for no reason." Xu Tianze smiled knowingly as he watched Yin Liu handing out cakes to Xue Wei and the others.
He is not a good person. If he really needs Yin Liu to make a sacrifice, he believes that he will definitely sacrifice Yin Liu, but he is not in a situation where he needs Yin Liu to sacrifice herself.
In this case, it would be better to let Yinliu happily choose the life she wants.
But Xu Tianze may have forgotten that among this group of people, everyone is living in calculations mixed with interests all the time.
It’s just that most people only judge by the actions rather than the intentions.
"Xiao Ze, you haven't told me why you are so sure that Nan Xunjie will leave through the East City Gate." Song Yu was not interested in Xu Tianze's feelings. On the contrary, he wanted to know Xu Tianze's speculation about Nan Xunjie.
As far as he knew, many people should have set up ambushes in the other three routes. Although there were ambushes at the East Gate, there were not many.
"The East City Gate is closest to the military camp stationed in Beijing. The commander-in-chief also has a connection with Nan Xunjie." Xu Tianze patted the second prince's waist and motioned for him to stand up.
After the second prince stood up, he also stood up and stretched. It was approaching early autumn, and he felt a little lazy.
"But doesn't that general have a grudge against Nan Xunjie?" Song Yu was a little confused.
Speaking of this festival, he remembered that Nan Xunjie had made a lot of jokes in the court because of this matter. Long Musi and the second prince nodded thoughtfully.
It seemed that because of this incident, Nan Xunjie never went in or out through the East Gate, because he felt that it was unlucky to have the general around.
"It's just a casual game of chess." Xu Tianze replied perfunctorily and walked out of the pavilion.
It was getting late, and they should go back, otherwise the old guys in the capital would be worried.
When the second prince saw Xu Tianze leaving, he followed him without thinking. Ever since he had been with Aze, he became less and less willing to use his brain.
But given Aze's excellence, he really doesn't need to use his brain.
Long Musi and Song Yu looked at each other. They were both understood by Xu Tianze and knew where to make a few moves next.
The few of them drove back in their carriage just when the busiest time was approaching. Students from all over the capital were telling each other the news, and the streets, alleys, teahouses and taverns were all filled with discussions about this year's imperial examination maintenance policy.
Some condemned Xu Tianze for disrespecting students and forcing them to work as laborers; some praised Xu Tianze for his consideration for students, and some even said directly that Xu Tianze was worthy of being a descendant of the Xu family and always considered the students in everything he did.
Xu Tianze and his companions turned a deaf ear to such remarks and went straight back to the Second Prince's Mansion. As soon as they got off the car, they saw the housekeeper of the Second Prince's Mansion standing in front of the door.
"Well, it seems that trouble has come knocking on our doorstep." The second prince just lifted the curtain of the carriage and couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw the butler.
There are only a few people who can make the butler stand at the door instead of being driven away directly. Apart from the one in the palace, there is no other person who can be found at this time.
"Your Highness, Eunuch Quan is here." The butler had a blank expression on his face, but when he saw that it was his own prince who got off the carriage, his eyes lit up and he stepped forward with a smile to report.
Originally, the Second Prince and Xu Tianze went out today in order to keep a low profile, and they did not take a carriage with emblems. The housekeeper sent people to guard the city gate, but they didn't see anyone.
He was just about to send someone to go directly to Shili Pavilion to check, but unexpectedly, his prince just came back, which solved the urgent problem.
"How long has Eunuch Quan been here?" Xu Tianze stuck his head out and asked.
"Probably a cup of tea." The butler stepped back slightly and asked someone to put a wooden stool on the table, without forgetting to answer Xu Tianze's question.
"That's not too long. It's okay. Uncle Butler, there's no need to worry." Xu Tianze got off the carriage first, then replied to the butler with a smile.
Seeing the housekeeper's anxious look at the door, I thought Eunuch Quan had been waiting for a long time, but I didn't expect it was only a cup of tea. So there was no need to rush to see Eunuch Quan.
After saying that, Xu Tianze reached out to help the second prince who was about to get off the carriage. The second prince smiled and did not stop Xu Tianze. He just did not lend Xu Tianze much support when getting off the carriage.
"I know my body, Ajiang, there's no need to be so cautious." Xu Tianze took the second prince's hand, and a warm feeling passed through his heart.
Maybe it was a last burst of energy, or something else, but he felt really good recently. Apart from his sense of smell gradually weakening, he didn't feel any other discomfort.
"Whether you are in good health or not is no longer up to you to decide." The second prince rolled his eyes at Xu Tianze. If this man really took care of his body, he would think something was fishy.
Fortunately, the message that I had tried to send before has received a response. As long as Aze takes good care of his body, the old man will definitely be willing to offer that method.
Xu Tianze did not argue with the Second Prince. The Second Prince listened to him in other matters, but once it came to matters of health and food, the Second Prince would not give him a chance to refute.
Just like the dim sum at Die Zhai, everyone knew that his sense of taste was impaired, but every time there were new pastries, Ajiang would always have someone deliver them to him first.
"Let's go, Eunuch Quan is still waiting for us." The second prince pulled Xu Tianze into the mansion. They had been jolted in the carriage for so long, so they hurried back to sit down and rest.
