727 Admiration (6)

However, it was also not right for him not to say it as this matter was crucially important. If Xie Jingxing found out about this after returning to the capital and it was too late to change the situation, Tie Yi could forget about being the secret guard and would probably die.

He said, “Su Mingfeng from the Su family, Luo Ling from the Luo family, and Feng Zixian, the eldest son of the Feng family, have all been to the Shen mansion and expressed their willingness to marry Fifth Miss Shen.”

“Feng Zixian?” The young man turned around and stared into Tie Yi’s eyes, asking, “Why did Feng Zixian go to the Shen mansion?”

Tie Yi felt a chill run down his spine. He braced himself and said, “Shen Xin is in a hurry to marry Fifth Miss Shen off because there’s news from the palace that the crown prince intends to marry Fifth Miss Shen as a secondary consort. The Shen family doesn’t want Fifth Miss Shen to marry the crown prince and wants to marry Fifth Miss Shen off before the imperial edict is issued. Miss Feng and Fifth Miss Shen are good friends, so she asked her brother to help Fifth Miss Shen out.”

“When did the news spread from the palace?” Xie Jingxing asked slowly, but his voice was cold.

Tie Yi did not dare to look Xie Jingxing in the eye at all. He lowered his head and said, “Five days ago.”

“The news from five days ago only arrived now?” Xie Jingxing smiled instead of being angry. Anger flashed across his beautiful eyes as he said, “Give me a reason why I should keep a group of useless people.”

The air in the room suddenly turned cold, as if it was even colder than outside.

Tie Yi felt aggrieved, but he had to finish what he had to say. He said, “The palace sent a message to the Shen family today. Tomorrow, Fifth Miss Shen will enter the palace alone. The empress has something to talk about with her.”

Before he could finish his sentence, the handsome purple-clothed young man’s figure flashed and he was already at the door. He took the fox fur coat and put it on, saying coldly, “Prepare the horse.”

Tie Yi was stunned. “Master, why…”

Xie Jingxing glanced at him coldly. Tie Yi shuddered and did not dare to say anything.

That night, the wind was mixed with snow, making the coldness bone-chilling. Some people were tossing and turning on the warm bed, unable to sleep, some people were discussing the assassination tomorrow, and some people were riding horses, galloping towards the capital.

Some were happy, some were sad, some were anxious, and some were smug. Ming Qi was seemingly prosperous, and the capital was filled with singing and dancing. At the end of the year, there was laughter everywhere, but no one could see the storm brewing.

In a room in Prince Ding’s mansion, someone was playing chess with himself.

The man was dressed in green. The chessboard on the table was in a chaotic state. The black and the white pieces were intertwined, making the chessboard look extremely complicated. With every step he took, he had to think for a long time, as if he had reached a bottleneck. The black piece he was holding couldn’t be placed down in a long time.

The candlelight swayed slightly, almost going to extinguish. He stood up and lit a new candle, and the room brightened up. This man looked like a humble gentleman, but there was sadness in his eyes.

This person was Pei Lang.

Pei Lang looked at the snowy night outside the window and sighed deeply.

The move Fu Xiuyi made was indeed very brilliant. Whether the move turned out to be a success or a failure, it had nothing to do with him. No matter what the outcome was, Fu Xiuyi would benefit one way or another.

Just like the layout of the chessboard, Shen Miao was cornered. Even if she had a way out, it was not going to be a good way. In this round, Fu Xiuyi would definitely win.

Pei Lang was a little worried for Shen Miao.

He did not know why he was worried for Shen Miao. If Shen Miao died, he would be able to follow Fu Xiuyi wholeheartedly. Fu Xiuyi trusted him very much. If he was not wrong, Fu Xiuyi had the ability to outlast everyone and become the emperor. In the future, he would also rise to the top and enjoy endless wealth. He could also better protect Liu Ying in the dark.

However, he still did not want Shen Miao to lose.

Over the past few days, Fu Xiuyi suspected that there was a traitor in the mansion and doubled the guards. Not even a fly could enter, let alone send a letter out. He could not communicate with Shen Miao through letters and could only be anxious for her.

He heard that Shen Miao was going to the palace alone tomorrow. Coincidentally, he was also going to the palace tomorrow.

Could Shen Miao find her way out of this cornered situation?

A moment later, Pei Lang looked at the chessboard in front of him. There was no need to continue with this chess game. He placed one hand on the corner of the table and suddenly flipped his hand.

With a light lift, the entire chessboard fell to the ground, making crisp sounds as the chess pieces scatter everywhere

The ground was in a mess.
