Chapter 760 Waves (3)

The staff members began to discuss the matter. Although they were dissatisfied with Pei Lang, they had to admit that he was right. Shen Miao was just a little girl, not a stunning beauty. Rather than saying that Prince Rui was desperate for his beloved, it would be more reasonable to say that Prince Rui valued the Shen family behind Shen Miao.

Fu Xiuyi said, "Sir, you are right, but I heard something today."

Everyone was waiting for him to say the next words.

"Chen Miao stayed at Princess Rong Xin's residence today. The princess has always been in poor health, but she kept her until the night. Moreover, it seems that after Shen Miao left, the princess also seemed to be in a bad mood." Fu Xiuyi smiled: "Maybe the princess knows something."

After a moment of silence, an aide said, "Perhaps Princess Rong Xin knows something about the situation. Your Highness might want to start with Princess Rong Xin. Perhaps you can find some clues."

"I think so too." Fu Xiuyi looked at Pei Lang, not knowing if he was saying this on purpose, but he only said, "Although Shen Miao has the Shen family as a powerful backer, she herself is also very strange. Prince Rui is the only one who helps her with everything. There must be some hidden reason. If Princess Rong Xin gets involved, then things will become interesting."

"The truth will come to light sooner or later. I must uncover the secrets between them." Fu Xiuyi smiled meaningfully, "I still have to rely on you all."

Everyone said they didn't dare. Pei Lang lowered his head, but a trace of uneasiness flashed through his heart.

…

That night, the princess's residence was also restless. Princess Rongxin sat in the Xingzhi Courtyard all night long.

Xie Jingxing survived, becoming the Rui Wang of Daliang. This was something Princess Rongxin had never imagined. Over the past two years, she had hoped countless times that one day Xie Jingxing's death would be just a dream. She hoped that upon waking, that proud and handsome young man would still be standing before her, lazily calling her "Aunt Rong." However, when that moment finally arrived, the first thought that came to Princess Rongxin's mind wasn't relief.

He was wearing a noble purple and gold robe, with flying dragons embroidered on the corners with gold thread. He wore a cold mask and greeted her familiarly, but he was holding the title of King Rui.

That is the biggest threat from Mingqi.

Princess Rongxin was initially simply angry at being kept in the dark, but when she realized Xie Jingxing's true identity, her most instinctive reaction was to become wary. This wasn't to say she didn't love Xie Jingxing or that her years of companionship were fake. Rather, it was because she was the princess of Daliang, and the arrogance and suspicion unique to the royal family always surfaced at such times.

She was writing a letter at her desk, a subtle reminder to Emperor Wenhui. Halfway through, she suddenly stopped, yanking the paper in front of her, crumpling it up, and tearing it into pieces. The tangled and complex feelings in her heart were difficult to express in words, yet she didn't want to see Xie Jingxing again, fearing how to face him.

What puzzled Princess Rongxin the most was how Xie Jingxing had become Prince Rui, the younger brother of Emperor Yongle of Daliang. The title of Prince Rui was clearly not to be casually used. Was Xie Jingxing originally from Daliang, or was he simply bribed by someone from Daliang by chance? If the former, then it was understandable. But if the latter, Xie Jingxing was a traitor to his country.

Xie Ding and Xie Jingxing had never been close, so asking Xie Ding was definitely a no-go. Shen Miao must know something, but she definitely wouldn't say it. Xie Jingxing was protecting her, so Princess Rong Xin couldn't make a move. After much thought, Princess Rong Xin finally thought of someone.
