“In short, the most terrifying person in the Xie family is not Xie Ding, but Xie Jingxing.” Fu Xiuyi said, “This person is ambitious and smart enough at a young age. If he was given a certain amount of power, I’m afraid the capital would be peaceful. With him around, the Xie family will be indestructible.”
“Fortunately, Xie Jingxing is already dead.” After hearing Fu Xiuyi’s words, the aide heaved a sigh of relief with lingering fears. “The current Marquis of Lin’an won’t be able to do anything.”
“That’s right.” Fu Xiuyi said, “Towards dangerous enemies, we have to kill them before they grow stronger. However,” he changed the topic, “what I’m curious about now is why Su Mingfeng is with Prince Rui.”
“Not only that.” The aide continued, “Princess Rong Xin also seems to be investigating Prince Rui. Su Mingfeng even sent people to spy on the Shen mansion, and so did Princess Rong Xin.”
“Su Mingfeng, Prince Rui, Princess Rong Xin, and Shen Miao.” Fu Xiuyi said, “These people must be connected in some way, especially Shen Miao and Prince Rui. I know my father very well. He won’t give up anything he has set his mind on. The Shen army is already his. He will definitely not let outsiders take it. Why would he give Shen Miao to Prince Rui for no reason? No matter how you look at it, it’s not a good deal.”
“Your Highness, you mean…” The aide pondered.
“Prince Rui must have taken the initiative to propose this marriage. Not only that, but he must have used some method to force my father to agree.” Fu Xiuyi suddenly smiled strangely. “Don’t you think it’s strange? Previously, I suspected that Prince Rui and Shen Miao seemed to have an unusual relationship, but I also felt that Prince Rui is not someone who will take a risk for a woman. But now it seems that I was wrong.”
“Nothing happens for no reason in this world. Su Mingfeng and Princess Rong Xin have never left the capital in their lives, so it’s impossible for them to know Prince Rui. However, their attitude towards Prince Rui is quite abnormal. Also, Prince Rui and Shen Miao have only met a few times. Why would he go to such an extent for her? Could it be that Prince Rui has been to Ming Qi in the past?”
The aide was shocked. “Your Highness, do you mean that Prince Rui has been to the capital in the past and has seen them and even been friends with them?”
“Of course not openly.” Fu Xiuyi smiled and said, “Maybe we were all deceived from the beginning. Or rather, Prince Rui lived in the capital of Ming Qi with another identity. Otherwise, why would he wear a mask this time? I heard that everyone in the Daliang Dynasty’s royal family is shockingly handsome. Why doesn’t Prince Rui dare to show his face?”
“I think he’s afraid that we’ll recognize his face.”
The aide was silent, as if he was so shocked by this news that he didn’t know what to say.
Fu Xiuyi smiled again. “But these are just my guesses. I can’t be sure now. It’s fine. I’ve already sent people to continue spying. It’s just that now, I’m looking forward to Prince Rui’s secret even more.” He paused for a moment and suddenly thought of something. He asked, “How is Pei Lang now?”
The aide thought for a moment and said, “He’s still unwilling to speak.”
Fu Xiuyi smiled. “Continue. Just make sure he doesn’t die.” He continued, “These people the Shen family found are all really tough. I’m envious.”
