Judging from what these people are saying, they seem to regard Prince Ye as a savior. Presumably, they see Prince Xu's madness as inevitable, and Prince Ye is merely putting righteousness before family.
Putting aside everything else, even for this one point, Emperor Yuming dared not arbitrarily pursue his crimes, otherwise it would arouse public anger and be difficult to deal with.
"Perhaps." Qin Qi frowned, clearly having considered this as well. He could only sigh, "What a troubled spring."
"No need to overthink it, just protect yourself."
Qin Xi nodded: "Mm."
Shu Zhan, looking at the two of them with boredom, yawned: "What does this have to do with us? As long as the emperor doesn't die, it won't affect my life of luxury."
Shu Hua was startled and quickly covered his mouth: "Brother! You must be still half asleep!"
Lu Huai glanced at him but didn't say anything.
Shu Zhan realized he had said the wrong thing and awkwardly shut his mouth.
"You've heard enough news, shall we head back to the manor?" Lu Huai asked Qin Xi.
The latter hesitated for a moment: "You and Young Master Shu go back first, I want to go for a walk with Zihui."
Shu Hua smiled broadly, looked at Lu Huai, and raised her chin provocatively.
Lu Huai glanced at her briefly before looking away, patted Qin Qi's head, and didn't refuse: "Come back soon, don't make me wait like a 'wife-waiting stone'."
Qin Qi glared at him, thinking, "This guy's never serious again."
...
After parting ways at the teahouse entrance, Qin Qi and Shu Hua walked side by side down the street.
"Go and see Jin Huan, she hasn't left the house for days." Thinking of Xu Zi, Shu Hua couldn't help but chuckle: "With her personality, it's hard to keep her idle."
Qin Xi tapped her head and shook her head, saying, "No. Jin Huan has only been reunited with her family for a few days, so we can't bother her for now."
"I see..." Shu Hua deflated like a punctured balloon, instantly wiping away her spirits.
Qin Qi blinked, her cute dimples appearing and disappearing: "I could go see another friend."
...
...
The Third Prince's Residence.
Someone reached out affectionately: "You're still wearing this hairpin."
"Cough, cough." Princess Shanlai's health was as poor as ever, but the two coughs made her complexion a little rosier.
After wiping her mouth with the silk handkerchief, Princess Shanlai smiled faintly and said, "I have never been able to bear to take off the handkerchief you gave me, except when I sleep."
She smoothed her hair, her tone a mix of nostalgia and joy.
The man paused, then looked away somewhat embarrassed: "It's kind of you to care about me."
Princess Shanlai was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "What are you saying? We are of one mind, and of course I miss you."
"Ming'er." The man reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.
Princess Shanlai glanced at the servants and saw them turn their backs. Her face flushed, but she smiled happily, with tears welling up in her eyes: "Changliu."
...
"Well... I'll report this to you anyway." The gatekeeper walked in front of the two men with a troubled expression, scratching his head.
Qin Xi, carrying her things, shook her head: "No need, just lead the way for me. It's my first time at the Prince's Mansion, and I want to give Shan Lai a surprise."
Shu Hua was also carrying the gifts she had just bought; after all, it was her first visit, and she couldn't come empty-handed.
The gatekeeper sighed and had no choice but to lead the way: "Yes."
A moment later, the group stopped in front of a courtyard.
"Thank you." Qin Xi glanced at Lele, who immediately took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into the doorman's hand: "Young man, please go and have a few cups of tea to quench your thirst."
