The aides looked at each other and didn’t know what to say.
Pei Lang stood in the middle of the aids with his head lowered. Fu Xiuyi did not ask him anything, and he did not take the initiative to speak. However, he could feel Fu Xiuyi looking at him from above.
Looking at Pei Lang’s calm face, for some reason, another face suddenly appeared in Fu Xiuyi’s mind.
The girl’s face was delicate and small, and her eyes were as clear as a mirror, making people want to pat her like a little cub. However, she always had a frown on her face and a dignified aura around her, reminding Fu Xiuyi of the empress who lived in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility. Perhaps compared to the empress, she looked more noble and unfathomable.
!!
Was she a phoenix? Or a ferocious beast?
Fu Xiuyi sneered. She was just a woman. No matter how capable she was, it was impossible for her to be the mastermind. However, Fu Xiuyi did not forget that Shen Miao might have a special relationship with Prince Rui.
Prince Rui’s attitude towards the entire Ming Qi royal family was neither warm nor cold. Occasionally, he would seem to deliberately target him… Did he do it for Shen Miao?
If Prince Rui really did it for Shen Miao, Fu Xiuyi would know what to do. Once he knew someone’s Achilles heel, he would attack mercilessly. This was Fu Xiuyi’s style of doing things.
Fu Xiuyi clenched his fists and slowly calmed down. He said, “Get a few people to keep an eye outside Prince Rui’s mansion at all times!” He slowly glanced at his aides and said indifferently, “Add twice as many guards in our mansion. Don’t let a fly in and don’t let a mosquito out!”
Pei Lang’s heart skipped a beat. He felt that Fu Xiuyi was implying something, but he still maintained a calm look. When the surrounding aides heard this, they whispered to each other, as if they had sensed something coming.
Fu Xiuyi’s anger dissipated, and a smile appeared on his face as usual. However, halfway through his smile, a guard came in from outside and said, “Your Highness, the crown prince of the State of Qin sent someone to deliver a message to you.”
Fu Xiuyi was stunned and said, “Bring him in.” Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly realized something and his expression changed drastically. “Oh no!”
Emperor Wen Hui suspected that Fu Xiuyi and Huangfu Hao were in close contact. At this moment, he was probably doing his best to investigate the relationship between Fu Xiuyi and Huangfu Hao. Huangfu Hao did not know what happened and was not sure about the real reason why Shen Wan was captured. He probably sent someone over to ask, but little did he know that he actually shot himself in the foot.
At this moment, Emperor Wen Hui’s people had probably already seen the person Huangfu Hao sent entering the mansion. Now, no matter what Fu Xiuyi said to defend himself, Emperor Wen Hui would not believe him.
Fu Xiuyi collapsed on the chair.
…
At this moment, many people were locked up in the prison of Ming Qi.
Shen Yue and Chen Ruoqiu did not expect to be reunited with the Shen family under such circumstances. Shen Wan did not expect Shen Yue to become Huangfu Hao’s concubine. After all, Shen Wan had been through thick and thin in the imperial court. Although he knew that he could not escape death this time, he felt even more despair when Shen Yue dragged Huangfu Hao into the whole mess.
Emperor Wen Hui would not deal with Huangfu Hao, because Huangfu Hao was the crown prince of the State of Qin after all. Fu Xiuyi could also think of a way to protect himself since he had many capable people under him. Unless Emperor Wen Hui did not care about being criticized by the world, he would not kill a prince because of suspicion. All in all, the ones to be sacrificed were the Shen family.
Shen Yue was afraid and angry. After entering the prison, she was locked up with the women of the Shen family. She grabbed Chen Ruoqiu and asked anxiously, “Mother, why are we arrested too? Aren’t we no longer related to the Shen family? What exactly is going on?”
Seeing this, Chang Zaiqing was gloating. She already regretted seeking refuge with the Shen family. Not only did she not get rich, but she was also going to lose her life and future. On the contrary, Shen Yue, who had left home, and Chen Ruoqiu, who had been divorced, were lucky. Originally, Chang Zaiqing was just an outsider and would not get implicated. The more she thought about it, the more indignant she became. She did not expect Shen Yue and Chen Ruoqiu to also be sent to prison. Chang Zaiqing was indescribably happy.
Chang Zaiqing said, “Second Miss, what do you mean you are not related to the Shen family? You’re still Second Master’s daughter.”
Shen Yue sneered. “You b*tch, it’s not your place to interrupt.”
