Chapter 873 Concealment (2)

Fu Xiuyi had always suspected that the person behind Pei Lang was from the Shen family, but after investigating, all the suspicions about the Shen family could be ruled out. If it wasn't the Shen family, who else could it be?

"Your Highness, there is no news about Pei Lang in Dingjing. Could it be that Pei Lang has left the city?" the staff reminded Fu Xiuyi.

"Impossible." Fu Xiuyi said, "I have people guarding the city. Everyone who leaves the city these days has a portrait. It's impossible for Pei Lang to get through safely."

The staff frowned when they heard this and didn't know what to say.

"However, some people don't need a portrait." Fu Xiuyi suddenly said, "When Prince Rui married his concubine and left the city, no one stopped the guards from leaving the city."

The staff's eyes lit up: "Could it be that Pei Lang mixed in with the group of Prince Rui's men and followed them out?"

Fu Xiuyi sneered: "Prince Rui's Mansion is heavily guarded, how can one get in? Besides, Pei Lang and Prince Rui don't have much friendship, how can one get in..." He suddenly stopped talking: "Friendship?"

At this moment, Fu Xiuyi suddenly remembered something. He had always considered Pei Lang to be from the "Shen Family", and the person in charge of the "Shen Family" was Shen Xin. However, he had overlooked one point. In fact, judging from many things, those who intentionally or unintentionally hindered his great cause were actually related to Shen Miao.

If the "Shen Family" and "Chen Miao" were viewed separately, and Pei Lang was not loyal to the "Shen Family" but to "Chen Miao", then everything would make sense.

Pei Lang is Shen Miao's man. Shen Miao is now the Princess of Rui. Before this, she seemed to have some unclear relationship with Rui Wang. Rui Wang might help save Pei Lang once for Shen Miao's sake.

Then Pei Lang and Prince Rui are related.

Fu Xiuyi stood up suddenly. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the possibility. In the entire Dingjing City, the only person who had the ability to burn down the dungeon of Prince Ding's mansion without anyone noticing and escape unscathed, leaving no trace at all, seemed to be the mysterious Prince Rui.

"Damn it!" Fu Xiuyi slammed the table. He had always wanted to know what secrets Prince Rui was hiding. But the night before Shen Miao's wedding, the spies he sent out never returned. He presumably had been discovered and silenced. If not, he would have known what Prince Rui's deepest secret was.

Just as he was feeling frustrated, he saw a guard hurried in. This man was Fu Xiuyi's confidant. He stepped forward quickly, pulled out a letter from his pocket, and said, "A letter has been sent from the Princess's residence to the Imperial Palace. I intercepted it and made a copy. Your Highness, please take a look."

Fu Xiuyi's heart moved and he quickly took the letter. Princess Rongxin had also been acting very strangely regarding Prince Rui's matter. Fu Xiuyi wanted to find out what she was doing, but since Prince Rui and Shen Miao left the capital, neither Princess Rongxin nor the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion had done anything special. They continued to do their usual daily routines, leaving him with no idea where to start.

Princess Rongxin had been a widow for many years, and she wasn't very close to Emperor Wenhui. She rarely visited the palace year-round, let alone actively writing letters. It was thanks to Princess Rongxin's long absence from the palace that Fu Xiuyi was able to easily copy her letters.

Fu Xiuyi pulled out the letter and began to read it impatiently. At first, he looked anxious, but as time went on, his expression changed.

He seemed to be extremely shocked and angry, with his facial features distorted with extreme rage. The staff beside him didn't dare to breathe when they saw him like this. After a moment, Fu Xiuyi suddenly propped up the table with one hand and overturned the teapot on the table.
