The Jinbei Marquis Mansion in the imperial capital of Great Chu.

This mansion is magnificent and resplendent, demonstrating endless majesty and dignity.

It was the mansion in the imperial capital bestowed by the new emperor Chu Tiange on Jinbei Hou Xie Huai. It was also a symbol of the glory of Xie Huai's family. In fact, it was also a disguised way of keeping them in the imperial capital.

On this day, Xie Huai received a letter from northern Shanxi.

When he saw the familiar handwriting and content on the envelope, his heart was beating fast, and he almost fainted after reading the contents of the letter.

Seeing this, Hu Xueke, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel puzzled and quickly asked what had happened.

Xie Huai took a deep breath, handed the letter in his hand to Hu Xueke, and said, "Take a look, and comfort me after you finish reading it. I feel like I'm about to explode with anger at this rebellious son!"

Hu Xueke took the letter, glanced at it quickly, and then began to read it carefully.

However, unlike Xie Huai, Hu Xueke did not get angry after reading the letter, but instead looked happy.

She said to Xie Huai excitedly: "Brother Huai, Xiao'er has found someone. This is a great joy!"

Xie Huai stared at Hu Xueke with wide eyes and retorted angrily: "Happy event? Princess Qingyao has already chased him to Jinbei, and now Xiao'er said that he has a crush on someone. Can this be considered a good thing? And look at what he said at the end? He actually asked us to work hard to give him a younger brother so that the younger brother can inherit the position of the Marquis of Jinbei. He doesn't even want the position of the prince!"

Xie Huai became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice became deeper and deeper.

He couldn't understand why his son made such a decision, and his heart was filled with disappointment and helplessness.

Hu Xueke tried to comfort him, thinking that it was normal for children to have their own ideas when they grow up, and perhaps they should respect Xiaoer's choice.

But Xie Huai still found it difficult to accept this fact.

He felt that everything he had worked so hard for was for his son to inherit the family business and bring honor to the family.

Now his son had easily given up the position of Crown Prince for a woman, which really made him heartbroken.

What's more, it's a good thing that Princess Qingyao falls in love with his Xiao'er. At least he won't have to worry about his life in the future!

Xie Huai picked up the tea in the exquisite teacup in front of him, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, but his throat was still dry, so he simply stood up, picked up the teapot again, and wanted to fill himself a glass of water.

However, the tea was so hot that he could not help but yell towards the door: "Someone, come! The tea is too hot!"

A moment later, a servant hurried in and was about to take the tea out to replace it, but was stopped by Xie Huai: "No need to take it away, just go and get another pot of cold boiled water."

"As you command, my Lord."

The servant responded and left.

After the servant left, Xie Huai turned to look at Hu Xueke and began to complain non-stop.

He did not notice that Hu Xueke was staring at him with shining eyes.

"Xue Ke, why are you staring at me like that?"

Xie Huai finally realized something was wrong and asked.

"It's nothing, Brother Huai, don't get angry. It's not good for your health. In my opinion, Xiao'er did nothing wrong this time! Since Princess Qingyao went to northern Shanxi but failed to see the person she wanted to see, she would naturally turn back. Xiao'er finally met the person he likes, and we should support him to bravely pursue his own happiness. Look at Xinyue, didn't she find her ideal husband in the end? Yesterday she sent a letter saying that she was pregnant."

Hu Xueke smiled and comforted.

"Xinyue is pregnant? This is a good thing!" Xie Huai thought for a moment and said, "Hurry up and prepare some gifts for Xinyue."

Hu Xueke came to Xie Huai's desk and ground ink for him, saying, "Don't worry, why don't you come back and write back to your Xiao'er? And prepare a gift for Xinyue."

After hearing Hu Xueke's words, Xie Huai was about to write when he asked uncertainly, "Xueke, do you really think so?"

"Of course, we are like birds in a cage now. Xiao'er is free, so let him fly! As for the position of the crown prince, who knows if the Marquis of Jinbei will still exist in a few years!"

After hearing what Hu Xueke said, Xie Huai remained silent for a long time.

The new emperor was suspicious, so he summoned both him and Marquis Nanli back and detained them in the imperial capital. On the surface, he gave them mansions and rewarded their servants, but in fact, they were spies sent to monitor them.

All of Xie Huaihe and Hu Xueke's personal servants came from northern Shanxi, but the mansion was so large that it was impossible for them to do everything themselves. Even though they knew that those people rewarded by the new emperor came with a purpose, they could do nothing about it.

Not only that, I heard that it was similar with Marquis Nanli, and even the new emperor's brothers would go there from time to time, reportedly wanting to marry Marquis Nanli's little princess.

As for the outcome, it is unknown.

Xie Yunxiao, who was far away in northern Shanxi, naturally knew that his parents were living in dire straits in the imperial capital. That was why he wanted to stay away from the imperial power and be a free and ordinary citizen.

If he lost his identity, he would also have no responsibilities, and then he could go find Hua Xin without hesitation.

Now he is standing on a scorched earth.

This is the burned Medicine King Valley.

But he didn't know that from the moment he entered the territory of Yaowang Valley, he was being watched by the people left behind by Song Guanli.

"Nini, you should have gone back, right?"

Xie Yunxiao squatted on the ground and grabbed a handful of scorched earth, then pulled out a cloth bag from his waist, poured out the silver coins inside and handed it to Changfeng.

"Sir, what do you want this scorched earth for?"

Changfeng was puzzled, but he would not stop it.

"I told you not to call me Prince outside. Just call me Young Master. Where's Changling?"

This time, Xie Yunxiao not only brought enough people with him, but also brought enough money. He didn't want to wander around again.

"Changling has gone to lead the horses. We should leave after we have a look. It will be troublesome if we wait until dark." Changfeng reminded.

"Your brain is not as good as Changling's. I want to go up the mountain."

Xie Yunxiao looked at the dilapidated building that was vaguely visible and planned to go up and find out what was going on.

"What? Go up the mountain? Sir, it's getting dark!"

Changfeng was a little scared. Who knew if the ghosts all over the mountains would come out and scare him when it got dark?

"It's because I know it's getting dark, so I plan to go as soon as possible. But you don't need to go. I'll let Changling go with me."

Ever since Hua Xin nursed Xie Yunxiao back to health, he has been slowly recovering his martial arts skills. Now he has some basic skills back, so going up and down the mountain is not a difficult task for him.

Since Changfeng doesn't know martial arts, Xie Yunxiao doesn't let him join in the fun.

"Yes, sir." Changfeng lowered his head, knowing that he was disliked, but he did not dare to say anything more. After all, what the young master said was right!
