760 Waves (3)

The aides started discussing. Although they didn’t like Pei Lang, they had to admit that Pei Lang was right. After all, Shen Miao was just a little girl and was not a drop-dead-gorgeous beauty. Instead of saying that Prince Rui was protecting Shen Miao, it was more appropriate to say that Prince Rui was trying to rope in the Shen family through Shen Miao.

Fu Xiuyi said, “Sir, you’re right, but I heard something today.”

Everyone waited for him to continue.

“Shen Miao stayed in Princess Rong Xin’s mansion for the entire day today. Moreover, after Shen Miao left, the Princess seemed to be in a bad mood.” Fu Xiuyi smiled. “Could it be that the Princess also knows something?”

After a moment of silence, an aide said, “Perhaps Princess Rong Xin knows some inside information. Your Highness, why don’t you start with her? Perhaps you can get some clues out of her mouth.”

“I think so too.” Fu Xiuyi looked at Pei Lang. It was unknown if Fu Xiuyi was deliberately saying this to him. “Although Shen Miao has the Shen family as her backer, she’s also very strange. There must be a hidden reason why Prince Rui helps her out every time. If Princess Rong Xin is also involved, this matter will become interesting.”

“The truth can’t be hidden forever. We have to expose their secret.” Fu Xiuyi smiled meaningfully. “To achieve that, I’ll have to rely on everyone.”

Everyone nodded. Pei Lang lowered his head, a trace of uneasiness flashing across his heart.

That night, the princess mansion was not peaceful. Princess Rong Xin sat in Xingzhi Courtyard for the entire night.

Xie Jingxing didn’t die, but instead, he became Prince Rui. This was something Princess Rong Xin had never expected. In the past two years, Princess Rong Xin had hoped countless times that one day, she would wake up, realizing that Xie Jingxing’s death was just a nightmare. She hoped that when she woke up, that arrogant and handsome young man would still stand in front of her and call her Auntie Rong. However, when her hope came true, the first thought that came to Princess Rong Xin’s mind was not relief.

He was wearing a noble purple robe with a dragon embroidered on the corner. He was wearing a cold mask and called her as he used to, but he had another identity, Prince Rui who was the greatest threat to Ming Qi.

At first, Princess Rong Xin was just angry because she was kept in the dark. However, when she realized Xie Jingxing’s identity, Princess Rong Xin’s most instinctive reaction was to be vigilant. This did not mean that she did not love Xie Jingxing. It was because she was a princess of Ming Qi. The paranoia unique to the royal family would always be with her.

She was writing a letter at the table to give Emperor Wen Hui a reminder. Halfway through, she suddenly stopped writing and tore the paper into pieces. The conflict and complicated feelings in her heart were hard to express, but she was unwilling to see Xie Jingxing again, afraid that she would not be able to face him.

It was good that Xie Jingxing was not dead, but what puzzled Princess Rong Xin the most was how did he become Prince Rui, the younger brother of Emperor Yong Le of the Daliang Dynasty? Prince Rui was not an identity to be used by just anyone. Was Xie Jingxing a person of the Daliang Dynasty from the beginning, or was he bribed by someone from the Daliang Dynasty? If it was the former, it was understandable, but if it was the latter, Xie Jingxing would be committing treason.

Xie Ding and Xie Jingxing had never been close, so it was definitely impossible for Xie Ding to know it. Shen Miao must know something, but she would not spill the beans. Xie Jingxing was protecting her, so Princess Rong Xin could not do anything to her. After thinking about it, Princess Rong Xin finally thought of someone.
