"No, cicadas are fragrant. Other women don't have them. I won't make a mistake."

Xie Lin tells his secret of recognizing summer cicadas.

Xia Chan hummed suspiciously: "Fragrant?"

Her?

She raised her arm and sniffed, and indeed, she smelled of shower gel as she had just showered.

Did Xie Lin recognize me from the scent of this shower gel?

He has a really good nose.

The two hugged each other for a while before Xie Lin took Xia Chan's hand and walked inside.

The small courtyard here is similar to the one over at the grocery store.

It’s a pity that she hadn’t earned much money from the grocery store before she blew up the two-story building.

What a pity, it’s really a pity.

"Chanchan, at least everyone is alright. We'll open the grocery store later."

Xie Lin held her hand and comforted her.

Xia Chan raised her eyes and looked at the man opposite her, somewhat amused: "Want to open it later?"

"Shouldn't we think about how we can leave the capital now?"

Since Yuan Che has already met her, the hatred for his mother's murder and his wife's abduction will make him not let them go easily.

Naturally, he would seek revenge on Xia Chan for killing his mother.

The hatred for having his wife taken away came from Xie Lin.

Xia Chan thought about it and felt that Yuan Che was really pitiful.

He has been a crown prince for many years but has not yet ascended the throne.

Now all those who supported him have been dealt with by the emperor.

Is the next step to deal with Yuan Che? Deprive him of his position as crown prince?

Several vassal kings have already captured cities and territories and are rushing towards Chang'an.

However, there was still internal strife in Chang'an City.

It’s really funny to think about it.

If Daqing does this, isn't it afraid that the nomadic tribes in the north and the barbarians in the south will attack Daqing and take the opportunity to seize its territory?

Xia Chan thought about it for a while and still felt that the emperor was not very smart.

In this turbulent time, so many people were punished.

But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with me.

Anyway, no matter whether it is the Xia family or the Lin family, as long as it is not the Xie family that is dealt with, it will be fine.

As for the rest, life or death is up to you.

Instead of worrying about this, it’s better to worry about what Xie Lin gained from today’s trip.

"Have you found out who harmed Xie Jiajun?"

This is the purpose of their coming to Chang'an City.

Forget about everything else.

Xie Lin hummed.

Lift the person and sit him/her on your lap.

"It was an order from the emperor. The Lin family..." He paused here.

He looked at her and didn't continue.

Xia Chan understood the meaning of Xie Lin's unfinished words.

"Is there still the Xia family?"

Summer cicada added.

"Cicada..."

"Do I have a share?"

Xia Chan asked curiously.

Specifically, did the original owner conspire with Xia Yongyan to murder 180,000 soldiers of the Xie family army?

"No, Chanchan, don't think too much about it. This is the idea that Queen Lin asked Xia Yongyan and Minister Lin to give to the emperor."

"Is this an order from Lin Rong?"

What is she planning?

Is he afraid that the 180,000 Xie family troops will threaten Yuan Che's position?

If this is true, then Lin Rong is really stupid.

When a new emperor ascends the throne, what he needs most is the support of his ministers.

Not only did she not try to recruit the Xie family and get the Xie family army to support the prince, she even wanted to send people to trap and kill the Xie family army... No...

Xia Chan suddenly thought of something.

"Is it because the Xie family army refused to take sides that Lin Rong got angry and joined forces with others to slander the Xie family army in front of the emperor and kill them?"

Faced with the invincible Xie family army, any normal person would want to recruit them to their own camp.

The reason why Lin Rong made the decision to kill without mercy must be that she had hit a wall with Xie's army.

That's why he got so angry that he killed the man.

Her guess was confirmed by Xie Lin.

"My cicada is so smart."

Xia Chan was praised.

But I couldn't be happy.

Because her surname is also Xia, she feels more or less guilty towards Xie Jiajun.

"Sorry, I……"

If she had been able to travel through time faster, would the tragedy in Xie Lin's family have not happened?

Could she have saved the lives of 180,000 innocent soldiers?

The more Xia Chan thought about it, the depressed he became.

Xie Lin looked very distressed.

"Chanchan, listen to me, Chanchan..."

He hugged Xia Chan's face, kissed her, and coaxed her softly: "This has nothing to do with you, it has nothing to do with you, don't blame yourself, don't blame yourself, okay?"

"Xie Lin...I'm scared."

There was some confusion in Xia Chan's eyes.

She was really scared.

Because she knew nothing about the past, she didn't know what role she, or the original owner, played in the incident in which Xia Yongyan suggested killing 180,000 soldiers of the Xie family.

If she really knew nothing as Xie Lin said, then she could still get over it.

But if the original owner also played a certain role in it, then she really would not be able to face Xie Lin, nor would she be able to face her grandmother and the others.

"Chanchan, believe me, it won't happen. It has nothing to do with you."

Because he couldn't recall the original owner's memories, Xia Chan was now completely helpless and could only believe what Xie Lin said.

The two of them were talking while leaning against each other, talking about the people who murdered the Xie family. The biggest murderer was still sitting on the throne...

"He won't be able to sit still much longer."

Thank you Lindao.

Xia Chan nodded.

The two hugged each other for a while and kissed each other.

Just when the situation was at a stalemate, a low call was heard from outside.

"Third Master, are you in there?"

This is a woman's voice.

Xia Chan paused, looked up at Xie Lin.

Xie Lin explained softly: "It's Guangxiu, the person in charge of Wanhua Tower."

Wanhua Tower is Xie Lin’s base, but it has always been managed by the people inside Wanhua Tower.

This Guangxiu is one of the four top talents in Wanhua Tower. She is responsible for collecting and summarizing information and then reporting to Xie Lin.

It goes without saying that anyone who can stay in Wanhua Tower must be very good-looking.

Not knowing whether the other party had something important to report, Xia Chan stood up from Xie Lin's legs and hid in the inner room.

In order to minimize the impact, it would be better for her not to appear in public for the time being.

Xie Lin respects his wife's choice.

He tidied himself up, stood up, and opened the door with a calm expression.

"What's the matter?"

"Third Master, a grocery store on East Street was bombed. The prince's men are sealing off the city and searching for you and your wife."

Guangxiu stood outside very respectfully.

He lowered his head slightly and talked to Xie Lin with a humbly attitude.

Xie Lin and Xia Chan did not tell Guangxiu and the others that they had opened a grocery store.

So now Guangxiu doesn’t know whether the owner of the grocery store is San Ye or not.

However, since such a big thing had happened, she naturally had to report it to the Third Master.

Xie Lin nodded to show that he understood.

"Is there any news from Lucheng?"

"Replying to Third Master, there should be news in the next two days."

"it is good."

Xie Lin waved his hand and asked Guangxiu to get busy.

Guangxiu turned around and paused again.

"Third Master, Xia Yongyan will be executed tomorrow. Do you want to go and watch?"
