Chapter 228 You Are Not

King Liang left.

His men carried the gifts back in the same way they had carried them here before.

"Why go through all this trouble? It only brings shame to Your Highness." King Liang showed a bitter look on his face.

"Face is ultimately a superficial thing." King Liang's expression was not very good, and his expression was a little gloomy. "This king has never cared about this thing."

An idea struck his subordinate, "Oh, I understand... Could it be that Your Highness is deliberately disrupting Prince Ding's sight today, so as to find out what he and Prince Danshuo are planning?"

Prince Liang seemed absent-minded. He lowered his head and glanced at the red wooden boxes. He said, "Let's go back to the palace first."

"Come back tomorrow."

"Finally they left." The people in Prince Ding's mansion breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Prince Liang and his entourage leave.

Prince Ding stopped there and admired Prince Liang's "humiliated" departure, then turned around and left comfortably.

Prince Ding's eldest son walked beside him and asked in a low voice, "Father, don't you think Prince Liang's behavior is strange?"

"I was a little worried before, afraid that he would pick the fruits. But now I don't think so anymore."

"Please ask my father to help me solve this problem."

"Look, why is it so coincidental that this woman is Fu Yi's sweetheart? Why is it so coincidental that Fu Yi and Prince Liang are at odds? Prince Liang was born the emperor's eldest son, raised by the emperor himself, and held military power before he even came of age. His life was too smooth, and I think God couldn't stand it, so he had to give him two hard knocks. - Tell me, if you were Fu Yi, would you let Prince Liang get his wish?"

Without waiting for his son's answer, Prince Ding laughed first: "If I were Fu Yi, I would definitely stop him to the end."

Prince Ding's eldest son hesitated for a moment and said, "What if Fu Yi really values ​​Xiao He so much that he's willing to make peace with Prince Liang for her?"

"Do you think this is a joke? The grudge between the Prince's Mansion and the Prince of Liang's Mansion has been going on for a long time. Even if Fu Yi wants to shake hands and make peace, what will his subordinates think? What will the Prince of Liang's subordinates think? Moreover, Fu Yi is a man of power. He would not have such naive ideas."

Prince Ding's eldest son became uncertain: "Then can we definitely use Xiao He to successfully tie Fu Yi to a boat?"

"You were the one who proposed it in the first place, so why are you the first to waver today?" Prince Ding smiled and shook his head, "You are still young. My brother is old and will soon grow old. Fu Yi also wants to plan for his own future. He and I are just going with the flow."

Prince Ding strode forward, and his servant asked, "If Prince Liang comes again tomorrow, should we block the door?"

"Why block the door? He won't get any good results anyway. I'm quite happy to see him get humiliated by Xiao He."

King Liang returned to his palace and sat there for a while.

Is Fu Yi secretly stopping him?

Since Xiaohe has a history of friendship with Yujing and has helped him, she should not refuse his gift no matter what.

King Liang let out a long sigh.

"Your Highness, the palace has summoned you."

Only then did King Liang move his stiff limbs, stand up and walk out.

When he arrived at the palace, he hesitated again and again and was still not in a hurry to tell anyone about his "daughter".

"Recently, I have received some secret reports. Someone reported that your uncle, Prince Ding, is plotting rebellion..."

King Liang, who was originally daydreaming, suddenly came back to his senses after hearing these words.

"The Emperor summoned me because..."

"I don't want to wrongly accuse him. In a few days, you and your men will wait outside Prince Ding's mansion. Don't alert anyone else. If we discover that he truly has such intentions, arrest him on the spot. If it's just a false accusation by others, disperse."

"Your son obeys your command!"

Prince Liang was already furious with Prince Ding, and now with new hatred added to old grudges, he agreed quite readily.

The emperor looked tired and waved his hand to ask him to leave.

After the King of Liang took two steps back, he suddenly called out to him, "There has been a lot of debate in the court about who should be the crown prince. Did you know that someone has recommended you?"

"I have no wife and no children, so I cannot be the crown prince." King Liang stated the facts in a firm tone.

The emperor sighed, "It's all because you are too stubborn." Then he ordered the palace servants to send Prince Liang away.

The next day, Fu Yi came to Cheng Nianying's bed early in the morning and said, "Let's not go to Prince Ding's Mansion today."

Cheng Nianying thought for a moment and replied, "Yeah."

She made a decision immediately: "Then I'll go check on the people in the building."

"Why? You have some free time, but you don't want to stay with me?"

Cheng Nianying tilted her head to look at him, and after a while, she said seriously, "I'm afraid your body can't handle it."

“…”

Fu Yi laughed angrily: "When you were at my house before, I didn't think only about having sex with you every day, did I?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and tucked the corner of Cheng Nianying's quilt: "If you want to go see the people in the building, go ahead. When I come back from court, you have to accompany me."

Cheng Nianying blinked: "Yeah."

Fu Yi reached out and touched her eyelashes with an unsatisfied look before leaving.

When it was bright, Prince Liang went to Prince Ding's Mansion early as he did yesterday.

The people from Prince Ding's Mansion did not stop him.

But no one expected "Xiao He" to come that day.

After that, they didn't see "Xiao He" for several days.

King Liang became more and more convinced that it was Fu Yi who was obstructing him, and his irritability and anxiety grew deeper and deeper.

"Hasn't the person sent to Heqing to inquire about the news returned yet?" he asked his subordinates.

"I was just about to report to His Highness. He...just came back."

"Call him in immediately!"

"yes."

But the subordinate who came to report brought some bad news: "I didn't see anyone from Pei Mansion."

"What do you mean?" King Liang frowned.

"It is said that about a month ago, the entire Pei Mansion suddenly moved."

"What?" King Liang's first reaction was to deliberately avoid him. But he shouldn't have. How did the Pei Mansion know that he would send people to investigate?

“Where did they move to?”

"They said they went to a temple. I vaguely heard that they went to the Hanging Temple, but the Hanging Temple is the Imperial Temple..."

"Fu Yi...it's Fu Yi's intention." King Liang guessed it quickly.

Meanwhile, Qin Erge couldn't stand it any longer. "Why is King Liang so slow to act? We clearly agreed to come to King Liang and everything would be resolved."

Qin Yurong covered her face with her hands wearily: "Why are you so sure?"

Qin Er said excitedly: "A letter! It says in the letter..."

Qin Yurong looked up in surprise: "Have you ever secretly opened a letter?"

Qin Er's guilty conscience faded, and he stiffened his neck and said, "Yes! So what? I should have seen it! If I hadn't seen it, you wouldn't have known that you were deceived today!"

"What do you mean, second brother?"

"Did you not read what was written in the letter at all? Let me tell you, a few years ago, a scandal occurred in Prince Ding's mansion. Prince Liang was framed and had a one-night stand with someone." Qin Erge said angrily, "Don't you understand?"

"You are the daughter of King Liang!"

"Mother asked you to bring the letter to King Liang because of this very matter!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qin Yurong was struck by lightning. "Aren't you tarnishing my mother's innocence?"

"My mother wrote this letter herself!" Qin Er thought about it and felt a little unwilling. "Maybe I am also the son of King Liang?"

Qin Yurong found it absurd.

She always thought she was the most rebellious and indulgent person in the family...

"Shut up!"

Qin Yurong's head was buzzing, and she turned around and ran to find King Liang.

"Miss, don't be anxious. His Highness has no time to see you now..." The servant stretched out his hand to stop her, and the voice was heard by King Liang.

"Let her in."

King Liang turned to look at Qin Yurong standing outside the door and asked, "What's going on?"

Qin Yurong murmured, "Am I the daughter of His Highness?"

"Why are you suddenly..."

"My second brother said he had read the contents of the letter. He just told me."

King Liang almost vomited.

He suppressed the discomfort of his throbbing eyebrows and squeezed out a voice: "What do you think? I don't think you are."

Qin Yurong suddenly realized: "Xiao He? It's Xiao He?"

King Liang: "...Hmm."

Qin Yurong pulled her hair painfully: "My mother... is she planning to use Xiao He again?"

yes.

If he still doesn't know the truth...

But he had to help the Qin family for their "mistake" back then. How disgusting!

And "Xiao He"...she will be used again and again...

Offended, deceived, and blocked.

Prince Liang, who previously lacked any fatherly love, now had a throbbing throat and suddenly developed a strong desire to protect.

"The Qin family deserves to die!"
