Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

The two teams competed against each other and had so much fun that even the people watching on the shore became nervous.

What is rare is that the children also performed very well. Even though they were not strong enough, they held on until the last moment. When they fell into the water, they only felt disappointed and annoyed, but did not lose their temper or make trouble. Moreover, they quickly adjusted their mentality, sat in the wooden boat, and cheered for their companions.

Seeing this, Sun Yu was a little surprised, "The children have become much more sensible..."

His nephews did not have such cultivation and broad-mindedness in the past. They were more or less arrogant and willful as children of wealthy families. The adults would restrain themselves more, but the children had not learned to control themselves. When they encountered something unpleasant, they would easily lose their temper and cry. Before coming, he did warn them not to put on airs in front of other children. When making friends, they should not care about their status and position, but treat them sincerely and equally. Only then can they truly become friends and play together.

But he still couldn't avoid worrying. What if someone got angry and the atmosphere became awkward? How would he save the situation? But who would have thought that one by one they didn't give him any worries. Not only did they learn to be humble, but their mindsets and demeanors had also changed.

It is rare to be able to applaud others even after you lose.

Sun Yu was very pleased and praised his apprentice again, "You have taught me well. I will tell your master later and ask him to give you some treasures."

Xu Huaiyi said modestly, "I didn't teach my disciples much, I just gave them some guidance. The children are smart, so they just follow my instructions."

Sun Yu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, "People get redder if they're around redder people, and blacker if they're around blacker people. It's absolutely right to let them come..."

Xu Huaiyi was modest again.

Sun Yu smiled, changed the subject, looked at the lotus flowers in the distance, and asked casually, "Have you ever thought about holding a flower viewing banquet?"

Xu Huaiyi shook his head without even thinking, "No."

Seeing that he refused so straightforwardly, Sun Yu was surprised, but not too surprised. However, he still gave a reminder, "It is indeed not appropriate for you to be so high-profile at the moment, but some social events are still necessary. I don't need to teach you the benefits of them one by one. You should know them clearly. The flower viewing banquet is a good opportunity."

Through this, you can make connections, build relationships, get information, and improve the level and scope of your social circle. These are all visible benefits. Even some things can be done with the help of banquets. Otherwise, why are people so keen on finding various names to spend money and effort to organize banquets? It's not like they have nothing to do, so it's profitable.

Xu Huaiyi still shook his head, his tone was firm, "No, it's too troublesome and laborious."

Sun Yu snorted and said, "You feel sorry for your wife, right?"

Xu Huaiyi did not deny it either, and said happily, "Ali's mother likes quietness. A little excitement is fine, but a big one will annoy her. Besides, there are only a few people in the family, and it will be difficult to manage a flower viewing banquet. If she neglects something or fails to take good care of her, she will be working hard but not getting any thanks. Isn't that aggrieved?"

"Master, I can ask your wife to help..."

"No, no, Master, if I have troubled you, that would be unfilial of your disciple. You can't make your disciple unfilial!"

"You, if others have such a yard, they would be eager to make full use of it, but you are afraid to avoid it as much as possible."

"Isn't this also fully utilized by my disciple..."

Xu Huaiyi pointed at the happy and excited figures of the children, smiling, with a look of satisfaction and pride on his face.

Sun Yu looked over and his sight fell on Han Jun. Who told him to be so blind? He was wearing a mask, so it was hard not to be curious. "Is that the new security guard you bought? Have you checked his background?"

Knowing this question, Xu Huaiyi remained calm and said, "I found out. He used to be a bodyguard, traveling all over the country. He was quite knowledgeable and skilled. But later he offended someone and was framed. His appearance was ruined and his voice became hoarse. That's why he had to wear a mask to cover up. He was afraid that he would be hunted down if he stayed in his hometown, so he came to the capital to find a way out."

"Does this mean you can protect him?"

"It can't be considered as protection. My disciple asked, his enemy is just a local merchant. His family is not short of money, and he gave his daughter to the county magistrate as a concubine. He is so arrogant. Can such a person be chased to the capital?"

What Xu Huaiyi said were all the words that Han Jun had arranged with him in advance, and the identity was also arranged long ago. No matter who investigates, there will be no problem. Han Ziyi existed, but after being rescued by Han Jun, he changed his identity and lived somewhere else.

Sun Yu felt more at ease after hearing him talk in such detail, but he still had to remind him, "Don't have the intention to harm others, but be on guard against others. This is the capital, not Xujia Village, and you are not the Xu Huaiyi of the past. Your situation is simple and complicated at the same time. Do you understand what your teacher means?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded and replied directly, "We must be on guard against certain people trying to place people around our disciples."

"Well, even though this kind of thing, no matter how tight the defenses are in every mansion, there will inevitably be fish that slip through the net, but the people in key positions and those who serve you closely must be trustworthy, otherwise if they stab you in the back, it would be too unfair."

"Don't worry, I will pay attention."

Sun Yu hummed, and stopped harping on the matter. He suddenly said, "Some time ago, an official who was escorted back to Beijing for trial was killed. The results of the investigation have come out..."

Hearing this out of the blue, Xu Huaiyi was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Who did it?"

Sun Yu said in a veiled manner, "All the evidence we found points to the Second Prince."

Xu Huaiyi's eyes widened, "Second Prince? Is this true? Did the Second Prince defend himself?"

Sun Yu whispered, "The second prince was taken into custody after he was recruited into the palace. The empress went to plead guilty, but the emperor refused to see her and found an excuse to temporarily seize the power of the empress. Later, the second prince's grandfather and father-in-law came forward to intercede, and the emperor let the second prince go back home. But when he left the palace, he was carried out by eunuchs. It seems that he was punished..."

Xu Huaiyi asked speechlessly, "Didn't the Second Prince defend himself? Did he admit it?"

Sun Yu was even more speechless than him, "If the Second Prince admits it, will he just be beaten?"

Wouldn't he be banished to the imperial mausoleum to eat coarse food like the eldest prince?

"So if he doesn't admit it, the emperor will be sure it's him?"

"How can a prince admit to such a thing? But it doesn't matter whether he admits it or not. The emperor only looks at the evidence."

"What kind of evidence is that?"

"That's not clear."

Xu Huaiyi was silent for a moment, thinking to himself, the King of Chu is really capable, he can put such a big pot on the head of the second prince, and the key is that he put it so tightly that even the emperor believed it.

Is it that the King of Chu is too powerful, or is it that the Emperor is too foolish and suspicious?

"The Second Prince...can't clear himself? He should have a lot of staff in his mansion, right?"

Is there no one smart enough to turn the situation around?

Sun Yu heard this and looked at him and said, "I don't know what happened in the Second Prince's mansion, but I'm curious, why do you think it wasn't done by the Second Prince?"

Xu Huaiyi paused, but there was no panic on his face. He said in a very natural tone, "This is very obvious. The Second Prince is the legitimate son of the Empress. The character and strength of the First Prince are well known to the whole court. No matter from which aspect, the Second Prince is the most promising one. He doesn't need to do anything more to get married naturally. Why risk breaking taboos and do something unnecessary?"

Sun Yu said, "What you said is not entirely right. Being in the royal family, you often have no control over your own affairs. You can't just wait quietly to get the desired result. If you don't fight, others will. Can you still keep calm?"

The struggle for the throne in the royal family was a life-and-death struggle. How could it be natural? It was the result of racking one's brains and fighting for one's life.

Xu Huaiyi heard this and felt no guilt. "Even if he wants to fight and needs to win over people to support him, it's not worth killing people to silence them after being exposed. That's just trying to cover up the truth. Besides, doing so would definitely be a fatal blow to other people who support him and would chill their hearts. It's really not worth it. The smart thing to do is to try your best to deal with them, help them get rid of the crime, and take care of their families. Killing people to silence them is nothing, confessing without being asked? That's really stupid! I don't think the second prince would be such a reckless and impulsive person!"

After hearing this, Sun Yu frowned, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, he murmured, "Maybe those people have some fatal leverage over him, so they have to get rid of him?"

Xu Huaiyi choked. Those people did hold a fatal handle, but it was not the Second Prince's, but the King of Chu's. He said angrily, "Maybe, but I still think that the Second Prince did not do this."

Sun Yu said slowly, "In fact, I also think that it was not done by the Second Prince..."

Xu Huaiyi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Master, do you have evidence?"

Sun Yu shook his head.

"Then how do you make that judgment?"

"What about you?"

"Hehe, disciple relies half on analysis of the Second Prince's personality, and half on intuition."

Sun Yu glanced at him and said, "You are quite honest. I am almost the same as you, but I am not analyzing the Second Prince, but the people around him."

Xu Huaiyi held his daughter in his arms and bowed with a playful smile, "Please give me some advice, Master."

Ah Li in his arms thought it was fun, so he bowed as well, and said in a baby voice, "Master, please teach me."

Sun Yu laughed out loud because of her. He raised his hand to rub her cute little hair and corrected her, "You should call me Master."

Ah Li was also smart and immediately said, "Master, please teach me."

Sun Yu couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth again, and his whole person seemed a lot softer. However, Xu Huaiyi was afraid that his daughter would imitate him, and it would be troublesome if she let the secret slip outside. So he called Wei Liang over and asked him to hold A Li and go to the main courtyard to hand her over to Gu Huanxi. His daughter was still young, and it was time for her to go to bed after playing for so long.

After Wei Liang left, Sun Yu said speechlessly, "You are too cautious. How old is Ah Li?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled bitterly and said, "Master, Ah Li is becoming more and more eloquent, and I am afraid that she will learn from me. To be honest, I have to avoid her when I talk to her mother in private..."

Ah Li didn't listen at all when the master and the disciple were talking just now. His attention was on the children in the distance, so he didn't avoid them.

Sun Yu's mouth twitched, and he cleared his throat before talking about business. "The one I analyzed was Duke Xin and Elder Zhou. They are both mature and prudent people who have taught the Second Prince. The Second Prince also respects them very much. If there is anything important, he will definitely seek their advice..."

Xu Huaiyi took over the conversation, "Based on their style of doing things, they definitely wouldn't kill people to silence them, right?"

Sun Yu nodded and thought, unless both of them are old and confused, they will not do anything stupid.

Xu Huaiyi murmured in confusion, "We can all guess it, so why does the emperor..."

Sun Yu didn't say anything, but his eyes revealed some of his emotions. Emperors have always been suspicious, especially in their later years. When he looked at the princes, there was no longer any fatherly love in his eyes. Instead, there was defense and even jealousy. He hated that they were like the morning sun, but he was so old. Any suspicion he had would have fermented into ten. How could he not suppress it when he found such an opportunity?

Xu Huaiyi reacted and suddenly had an idea in his mind. If it was really the eldest prince who took advantage of the opportunity to ascend to the throne in his previous life, perhaps it was not what he thought, but a vicious competition among the princes, in which all the princes were killed in the end, which gave the eldest prince a bargain. Maybe it was the masterpiece of the joint efforts of King Chu and Emperor Jianxing. King Chu took advantage of Emperor Jianxing's suspicion and set traps for the princes everywhere. Without waiting for them to fight, they were dealt with by Emperor Jianxing, leaving only the eldest prince.

And the eldest prince may just be a transition.

When he had almost digested it, Sun Yu suddenly said, "There is one more thing that you should be aware of..."

"What's going on?"

"Li Yuan was killed before, and the murderer was found."

Xu Huaiyi was stunned, "Who is the murderer?"

Han Jun won’t reveal any flaws, right?

Sun Yu said, "They are from the Imperial Guards, Marquis Dingyuan's men."

Xu Huaiyi blinked. "Imperial Guards? Did they admit it?"

Sun Yu nodded, "I admit it."

"You were not forced to confess because you couldn't stand the torture, right?"

"No, but not long after he confessed, he bit his tongue and committed suicide."

"and then?"

"He was freed, but he passed the suspicion to Marquis Dingyuan. After all, he and Li Yuan did not have a deep hatred, so he did not have the urge to kill to silence him. He could only have been instructed by someone."

Xu Huaiyi said speechlessly, "Marquis Dingyuan and Li Yuan don't have any deep hatred, right? Marquis Dingyuan asked him to kill someone, isn't this a ridiculous reason?"

Sun Yu said meaningfully, "Marquis Dingyuan didn't, but the Third Prince had reason to silence him."

"What? How did it involve the Third Prince again?" Xu Huaiyi looked puzzled. "Isn't this too far-fetched?"

Sun Yu said, "It's not far-fetched. It is said that Li Yuan has leverage over the Third Prince. It is normal for the Third Prince to want to silence him."

Xu Huaiyi asked curiously, "What handle?"

Sun Yu whispered, "It is said that this is evidence that the Third Prince murdered the Emperor's eldest grandson..."

Xu Huaiyi's eyes widened. "The Third Prince is plotting to murder the Emperor's eldest grandson? Is this a crime?"

Sun Yu said, "The three words 'Emperor's eldest grandson' still carry a lot of weight. Before, when he was in the eldest prince's mansion, he was indeed plotted against several times. However, others only thought that it was the Changle Marquis's mansion that did it..."

He stopped there.

Xu Huaiyi knew it all clearly in his heart. He had had this suspicion a long time ago. The eldest prince's mansion was like a sieve, and there was no telling how many spies there were in it. There was nothing about the eldest prince that people could be afraid of, except that his identity as the eldest grandson of the emperor was too special, and Emperor Jianxing loved him very much. If he was wary of his son and didn't want to hand over power too early, then it was not impossible for him to make Xiaoyu the crown prince.

The other princes might have similar speculations and concerns, fearing that their efforts would be in vain, so they wanted to get rid of Xiaoyu, right?

The eldest prince's wife also wanted to get rid of him, and she probably asked Li Yuan for help. Li Yuan entered and exited the eldest prince's mansion just like he entered and exited his own home. Many of the guards and servants inside were brought from the Changle Marquis's Mansion. It was not impossible for him to catch evidence of the third prince's murder.
