After my inner voice was exposed, I made the tyrant cry anxiously

Su Juanhao said earnestly, "Look at you, the only son of Duke Ping, are you willing to carry the reputation of being a playboy?"

Xie Xun was silent for a moment, "What's wrong with this?"

Not just anyone can be this dude!

Su Juan asked again: "Don't you want to do something big?"

Xie Xun waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, don't you understand me? I'm just suitable for drinking and having fun. How can I get a big career!"

Su Juan's words that tried to awaken Xie Xun's ambition were blocked by him again.

Just when she was about to say something, Xie Xun changed the subject, "When you and Song Qianhang were talking inside today, Liu Xuan seemed to have heard something."

When he and Liu Miaoqing came out, they happened to see Liu Xuan walking away. He must have heard something, so he didn't go in and deliberately avoided it.

Su Juan looked at Xie Xun with a strange look in her eyes, "Oh."

[If you eavesdrop on yourself, you will also ruin Liu Xuan’s reputation, implying that others are also eavesdropping. 】

Xie Xun: "???" Wouldn't he eavesdrop! ?

Su Juan didn't believe anything he said, "I can't find anyone like him in the whole capital. How could I eavesdrop!" 】

Xie Xun finally understood that Liu Xuan was the meat and potatoes of heaven.

He glanced at Su Juan, picked up the jug with wine left on the table, and yelled at Su Juan as he left, "He is a pedant who doesn't know how to adapt, and no one in the capital wants to be like him!"

Young Master, I am charming and charming, and my appearance is unparalleled. Do I need to compare with him?

Sujuan: "."

【Are you angry? 】

The next day, Su Juan went to the palace to have dinner with the queen, and happened to bump into Liu Xuan. The two talked about some recent official matters.

Halfway through the conversation, Su Juan suddenly asked, "You and Xie Xun have known each other since childhood. Has he always been like this?"

Liu Xuan looked puzzled.

Su Juan: "He just thinks about drinking and having fun all day long. He has no ambition. When I mentioned it to him last night, he didn't want to mention it either."

She thought that since Liu Xuan and Xie Xun had known each other since childhood, they should know a lot about Xie Xun.

Liu Xuan was silent for a moment, as if hesitating, "It's not like this all the time."

Seeing that Su Juan wanted to know, he slowly said.

I remember that when he was young, he often went to Xie's Mansion with his father. Xie Xun always liked to make him practice swordsmanship and various marksmanship. He said that he was useless as a scholar, but a man should still join the army and fight, and he should be like himself. Grandpa and Dad are like that, protecting the family and the country.

At that time, Xie Xun was still very strict with himself and wanted to learn the best in everything. Among his peers, no one who followed him to learn martial arts could compare with him.

About one time, he had a dispute with other students in the Imperial College, and was punished by the academic, saying that he was speaking out of his mind. Even His Majesty knew about it, and he was punished by shutting himself up for three months.

Since then, he has lost interest in everything. Not only did he not go to the Imperial College, he also made a group of friends and drank and had fun all day long.

I have tried to persuade him many times, but he never listened, and he never mentioned anything like a general protecting his family and country.

Su Jian was surprised and suddenly understood, "So you have been following Xie Xun, are you afraid that he will go down the wrong path of killing people, setting fires, and robbing civilian girls?"

Liu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "No, I just followed him when I had nothing to do."

"He won't do what you said."

No matter how Xie Xun changes, Liu Xuan still believes that he will not lose his original intention. Su Juan smiled, "You are quite optimistic about him."

[Xie Xun, Xie Xun, look at how others treat you, and then look at how you treat others, ugh. 】

When dining with the queen, she saw that the Su family had used very little. Seeing this, the nanny next to her immediately ordered her servants to rush for the sweet soup.

"Not to your liking?" asked the Queen.

Su Juan shook her head and smiled, "No, it's quite delicious."

The queen's eyes were puzzled, "I don't see you using it so little on weekdays. Is there something on your mind?"

Normally, she would be happy when the Su family came into the palace and wolfed down the food, but today the child was obviously absent-minded.

Su Juan has actually been thinking about what Liu Xuan said.

"Royal Grandmother, do you still remember that one year, Xie Xun had a dispute with others in the Imperial College and was punished not only by the scholar, but also by the Imperial Grandfather?"

The Queen was slightly startled, "Why do you ask this?"

Of course she remembers this, how dare she forget it.

Seeing the queen's reaction, she obviously knew about it. Su Juan said, "I accidentally mentioned it when chatting with others today. My granddaughter is a little curious as to what he was punished for."

The queen was silent for a moment, thinking that her granddaughter should also know about this. She looked at the nanny on the side, who immediately sent everyone in the palace out, and she also stood guard at the entrance of the palace to prevent others from intruding.

Seeing this battle, the Su family members probably guessed that Xie Xun's punishment would not be simple.

The Queen asked, "Among the generals, do you know which one has been the most popular in the past hundred years?"

Su Juan hesitated for a moment and shook her head.

If it refers to someone who is still alive within a hundred years, it is naturally Duke Ping, but what the queen said is obviously not referring to him.

The queen said slowly, "The former commander-in-chief of the Dingbei Army, Pei Lianshan."

Su Juan put down the chopsticks in her hand.

"Back then, the Pei family was extremely prosperous. Pei Lianshan held a large number of troops. Among the aristocratic families in the capital, Pei Lianshan was unparalleled in power. Most of the Pei family members held important positions in the court. Therefore, they were subject to a lot of rumors and were feared."

"The second prince rebelled, and the Pei family was implicated. No one dared to speak out. However, most generals did not believe that Pei Lianshan would rebel. They believed that the rebellion case had insufficient evidence, perfunctory witnesses, excessive convictions, and the Pei family's death was in vain. Rumors Rumors are everywhere.”

"Xie Xun, this kid, has admired those generals who fought on the battlefield and defended the country since he was a child. He has heard a lot about Pei Lianshan's deeds. The Pingguo Duke's mansion is just like the Pei family back then. Many people are watching in the dark. Xie Xun was still young at the time, only about ten years old. When someone provoked him, he said some words to defend the Pei family. This was aggravated by someone who was interested and spread to His Majesty, so he was punished."

The queen didn't say anything about what happened next, but the Su family could guess it.

What a serious crime it was to defend those who rebelled against the party, and with the added fuel and jealousy of those who wanted to, the Pingguo Palace at that time was the epitome of the Pei family back then. This was to plant a seed of doubt in the emperor's heart.

During the three months when Xie Xun was punished in the house and thought about his faults, at the age of ten, he had already thought through the pros and cons and would not dare to speak out again.

He should have grown up to be a proud son of the emperor like Liu Xuan and Cai Yi, but instead he cared about the emperor's heart and hid his edge. He spent his days eating, drinking and having fun, turning himself into a truly spendthrift and ostentatious dandy. He was stubborn and failed to achieve his goals. In this way, the emperor's suspicion of the Duke's palace can be dispelled, the events of the past can be forgotten, and the Xie family can be protected from being targeted by those who are interested in the court.

Thinking of Liu Xuan's hesitant look just now, Su Juan finally understood at this moment that Liu Xuan had always known this, so he never looked at Xie Xun like others.

Xie Xun never carries less burdens than Liu Xuan. (End of chapter)
