Good heavens! The Supreme God is being relentlessly harassed!

As it turns out, things only got worse.

Liu Huizhou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. What he thought was a simple brawl had turned into a power struggle between the direct descendants of the Shen family and the Zuo family, and now it had become an offense against the Regent.

I wonder how many heads he has to chop off.

Liu Huizhou first ordered his men to take all the people lying on the ground back, then he himself respectfully walked to Xie Liuyan's side and said:

"Your Highness, how should this matter be handled?"

The onlookers only realized what was happening when the Prefect of Jingzhao addressed the man in the wheelchair as "Your Highness." It turned out that this was their guardian deity of Yun Kingdom, the famous Regent.

I don't know who started shouting it first:

"Greetings, Your Highness! Long live the Prince!" he said, kneeling down as he spoke.

The people on both sides of the street were all kneeling down in a dense mass.

Xie Liuyan frowned, clearly displeased that Liu Huizhou had revealed his identity.

"Everyone, please rise. I am traveling in my private clothes today, so there are no formalities."

"I just didn't expect to encounter the Zuo family members oppressing the people, riding horses wildly in the streets, posing a great danger to the lives of the people."

"Since we've encountered this, I, the King, will certainly give everyone an explanation. Don't you agree, Your Excellency?"

Liu Huizhou wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Ah, yes, yes, Your Highness is right."

"I, the Prefect, will certainly handle this matter impartially and give the people of my village an explanation."

Xie Liuyan gave him a meaningful look. "I hope so."

"Everyone, disperse and go about your business," Xie Yi said, standing next to the prince.

The surrounding people gradually dispersed, and what to do next was entirely up to Xie Liuyan.

After cleaning up the mess on the ground, Liu Huizhou sidled up to Xie Liuyan, trying to curry favor with him.

"Your Highness, it's a rare treat that you've taken the time to stroll through the streets of the capital. Would you like to come to my residence for a cup of tea?"

Xie Liuyan raised his hand, "No need, I think it would be best for Lord Liu to go back and deal with official business as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Liu Huizhou's lips twitched.

If he could, he wouldn't want to offend either side. Even if he got through to the prince now, the Zuo family would be knocking on his door again in no time.

He was like a rat caught in a bellows, caught in the middle.

Seeing that Xie Liuyan had no intention of saying anything more, Liu Huizhou had no choice but to lead his subordinates back.

Tonight, I'm bound to be invited for tea by the Prime Minister.

Once the surrounding mess had cleared up, Shen Wangchuan returned to Xie Liuyan's side.

Everything was fine until suddenly a bunch of people appeared and ruined their fun.

Shen Wangchuan felt that beating up someone like Zuo Canghan would dirty his hands.

"Your Highness, where are we going next? Should we return to the manor?"

These were Xie Yiwen's words. He was worried about the prince's health and suggested that they return to the manor first today.

Xie Liuyan doesn't have that plan at the moment. Now that he's out, he should at least have some fun.

He turned his gaze to Shen Wangchuan, "Guard Shen, do you have any recommendations?"

Shen Wangchuan didn't expect Xie Liuyan to ask him about it, even though it was Xie Liuyan who initially suggested that they go out for a stroll.

If it were just him and Shen Yun, the streets of the capital would naturally be full of fun.

However, to my shame, he actually visited those elegant places more often than ordinary places.

I can't think of a proper place to take Xie Liuyan right now.

His gaze swept across the surrounding streets, finally settling on a restaurant.

"Drunken Treasure Pavilion"!

The food here is good; he used to eat there with Zhao Jue all the time.

Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Zhao Jue since they parted ways at "Yi Qu Xiao Xiang".

Perhaps it was because the old Marquis was too strict, but Zhao Jue didn't have many opportunities to come out.

However, the most urgent task is to take Xie Liuyan out for a meal.

"Your Highness, what do you think of 'Drunken Treasure Pavilion'? It has all kinds of delicious food. I've been there several times, and I never get tired of it!"

Hearing him say that, Xie Liuyan also became somewhat interested.

Having gotten used to the dishes prepared by the chefs of the royal palace, it's nice to change things up once in a while.

"Okay, I'll do as you say and go take a look there."

Zui Bao Ge has two floors. The first floor is for ordinary diners, while the second floor is for royalty and nobility.

Because of his skill in cooking, many nobles and royalty came to visit him, and left full of praise for his cooking.

Over time, Zuibaoge became the largest restaurant in the capital.

Wealthy businessmen and ordinary people with a little money sometimes come here to enjoy fresh food, and the word-of-mouth response is very good.

But today, a group of special guests have arrived at Zuibaoge.

Even though we were sitting on the first floor, we ordered food that was comparable in price and quality to that on the second floor.

The waiter was unsure and repeatedly confirmed with Shen Wangchuan:

"Young master, are you sure you want to order 'Wild Geese Descending on the Sandbank' and 'Roasted Pigeon'? Because they are signature dishes, their prices will be relatively high. Is that acceptable to you?"

"Of course, I've been here many times, so I know the proper etiquette. Remember the dishes, and we'll serve them in a bit."

Seeing how confident he was, the waiter felt much more at ease.

They probably didn't come here to dine and dash.

After he left, Shen Wangchuan said to Xie Liuyan:

"Your Highness, this meal is on me. Thank you for taking care of me and Shen Yun these past few days."

Xie Liuyan gave a faint "hmm," then asked in return:

"You seem to be very familiar with these places."

Shen Wangchuan didn't expect Xie Liuyan to talk about this. He originally wanted to cover it up, but then he thought that the two of them met in a Qingshuilou like "Yiqu Xiaoxiang", so he had no reason to deny it.

"Hehe, Your Highness must have heard of my reputation. I may not be an expert in everything, but I am quite skilled at it. So it's not surprising that you know a bit about this."

Xie Liuyan nodded: "I have indeed looked into it. It seems that Young Master Shen's reputation is well-deserved."

Hearing him say that, Shen Wangchuan became somewhat uneasy.

"Actually, those are all one-sided views of me from the outside world. Although I do visit some elegant places, it's just to appreciate the dance skills and have a drink with Zhao Jue."

His hasty explanation only made Xie Liuyan laugh.

He deliberately replied, "I am well aware of this, Young Master Shen, there is no need for you to explain so hastily."

As the two were talking, a sound came from the stairs:

"I knew that voice sounded familiar, it's Ah Chuan!"

"Long time no see, how have you been?"

Shen Wangchuan heard a familiar voice. He looked up slightly and saw a young man in fine clothes, with his hair tied up in a jade crown, walking down the stairs and waving a fan in his hand.

The person who came was his good friend whom he hadn't seen for over a month—Zhao Jue!
