Chapter 469 So Who Does She Belong To?
On the way back to the palace, the carriage was very quiet and the three of them didn't say much.
After entering the palace, Yuan Huaihong took the initiative to suggest, "Sister Suining, do you want to go see your brother, the Second Prince?"
"Okay." Little Dumpling nodded in agreement, "Second Prince, I guess you don't know about this yet."
"It should be." Yuan Huaihong's eyes swept over Fuxing.
After arriving at Yingcui Ju, Yuan Xiaonian had already gotten out of bed and was sitting in the yard outside basking in the sun.
"Second Prince, why did you come out?" Li Suining ran over first. "Did Grandpa Wen say you can get out of bed?"
Yuan Xiaonian had been feeling pent up in the house for the past few days. He snorted coldly and said, "Who cares what he says? I've already gotten out of bed. Isn't it okay?"
He waved his hand impatiently, "Not so pretentious."
He looked at Yuan Huaihong and Fuxing again, "Where are you coming from?"
"Zuo Sixian... committed suicide last night." Yuan Huaihong stepped forward and said in a deep voice.
"What?" Yuan Xiaonian was obviously shocked. "What about Bai Yunfeng's assassination? What does the emperor say?"
Yuan Huaihong frowned helplessly, obviously feeling that it was inappropriate for him to always call his father the Emperor. Fortunately, there was no one else here, so he did not correct him.
He sighed and said, "Nothing much to say. Probably... this matter ends here."
Yuan Xiaonian glanced at Li Suining, clearly feeling distressed. "How could this happen? This Zuo Sixian... is truly a real man."
He suddenly thought of something and asked tentatively, "Now that Zuo Sixian is dead, who will handle Bai Yunfeng's case? Who else is in the Censorate?"
No one spoke. Now that the Crown Prince of Dongchu was gone and the New Year was almost over, it was obvious that Bai Yunfeng's case would be continued soon, and even... Li Suining should leave the palace and return to the Censorate prison.
At this time, Fuxing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "If you believe me, I can do it."
"What?" Yuan Huaihong and Yuan Xiaonian said almost in unison.
Yuan Huaihong then asked, "You... want to try General Bai's case?"
"This matter is originally caused by me, but unfortunately I can't save them right now," Fuxing looked at Li Suining apologetically, "so, I want to make amends as much as possible. If I go and do it, at least they will be safe."
Everyone fell silent again.
But Li Suining and Yuan Huaihong both knew that Fuxing lied. It was not that Fuxing had not thought of a way to save people, otherwise, Li Suining would not have seen her father return home that day. It was just that now, she did not want to save people.
Yuan Huaihong looked at Li Suining with a questioning look, and was also weighing this matter in his mind.
Although Fuxing is unfathomable, at least on the surface, she still wants to be on good terms with them. In this way, she should not harm Bai Yunfeng and others.
"Sister Fuxing, are you really willing?" Little Tuanzi spoke first. Everyone said that Sister Fuxing was dangerous, but she was still willing to believe Sister Fuxing.
Fuxing nodded, "Besides, if I propose this to the Emperor, he probably won't object."
"That's fine too." Yuan Huaihong said in a deep voice. He added tentatively, "However, the best way is to quickly come up with a way to overturn your previous prophecy. Otherwise, if it drags on for too long, I'm afraid my father will lose his patience."
"You have to overturn the prophecy while maintaining your authority as the high priest..." Yuan Xiaonian couldn't help but shook his head, "It's really not easy."
Li Suining thought of something. Since her prediction could be changed, could Sister Fuxing's false prediction be changed with the same excuse?
She subconsciously looked at Yuan Huaihong. Obviously, Yuan Huaihong had also thought of this, but Yuan Huaihong shook his head slightly at her, signaling her not to say anything more for the time being.
"Then I'll find a chance to tell the Emperor tonight." Fuxing looked at Li Suining, "Is it possible that we'll have to go back to the Censorate tomorrow? Or do you want to stay in the palace for a while longer?"
Li Suining shook her head. It was pointless to stay in the palace now. She had to be with Fuxing. Fuxing was the key to rescuing her father.
Everyone reached a consensus, and Fuxing left with Li Suining.
Yuan Huaihong carefully helped Yuan Xiaonian back to the house and said in a brotherly tone, "You can't disobey Doctor Wen's words. Don't you want to recover quickly?"
Yuan Xiaonian pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Take the medicine on time, walk less, and rest more..." Yuan Huaihong was still chattering.
"Why are you more annoying than my mother?" After finally entering the house, Yuan Xiaonian lay down with a look of impatient resistance.
Yuan Huaihong sighed, "You were injured because of me, so of course I have to take responsibility."
"Tsk!" Yuan Xiaonian said with disdain, "Let me make it clear to you again. I wasn't trying to save you at that time. It was more for myself. Let's not talk about what I would get if I saved you. If I didn't save you, you would die..."
He said with a look of understanding, "Then it's not just Zuo Sixian who's dead now."
Yuan Huaihong smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't want to dig into the matter and force Yuan Xiaonian to admit what he was thinking.
He took the initiative to end the topic, "Okay, what do you think about what Fuxing just said?"
"Is she going to try Bai Yunfeng's case?" Yuan Xiaonian was clearly interested. "What do you think...she wants to do?"
Yuan Huaihong shook his head honestly, "I don't know, but... it's definitely not to help the Bai family or Sister Sui Ning."
Yuan Xiaonian nodded in agreement, "This lucky star... is indeed hard to understand, but she shouldn't harm Sister Sui Ning, so let her go."
"It's not convenient for me to leave the palace, but you should recover from your injury quickly. I always feel uneasy when we are not with Sister Sui Ning." Yuan Huaihong was obviously still a little worried.
Yuan Xiaonian was speechless. "My eldest prince, what are you thinking? Even if I were to recover, I wouldn't stay with that girl. She...wish for herself."
"You, you!" Yuan Huaihong didn't want to argue with him, because he knew that Yuan Xiaonian was not telling the truth. In the eyes of his younger brother, Li Suining was obviously more important than his older brother.
"Then take good care of your injuries. I'm going back first." He was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and turned back to say, "By the way, if you find out anything about Fuxing's movements, remember to tell me. I'm still... worried about this person."
"I know, I know." Yuan Xiaonian waved his hand impatiently.
Not long after Yuan Huaihong left, Jing agreed and came in, "That lucky star...isn't he yours now?"
Yuan Xiaonian sneered, "She belongs to me, the Emperor, the Empress, the Crown Prince, and Li Suining. So, who does she belong to? Or...are we all hers?"
