Chapter 579 This time you make the choice for yourself
Fuxing and Yuan Huaihong were both in the Dongchu Palace, but they rarely communicated with each other and were always doing their own things.
But today, Yuan Huaihong looked at Fuxing several times, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Second Prince, why don't you just speak frankly?" Fuxing couldn't bear it any longer and asked directly.
Yuan Xiaonian smiled and said, "Sure enough, nothing can escape the eyes of the high priest."
He stood up and walked to the seat next to Fuxing and sat down, saying seriously, "I heard... Ziyun wants to keep you in Dongchu?"
Bai Yu'an had not mentioned this matter to Yuan Xiaonian. Fuxing quickly had the answer in his mind. It seemed that Yuan Xiaonian did not completely trust them. Their interactions with Ziyun were probably monitored by Yuan Xiaonian.
"Yes." She nodded, wanting to know what Yuan Xiaonian was trying to do.
"Do you want to stay?" Yuan Xiaonian looked at Fuxing scrutinizingly. "My father and mother both think highly of you. I don't understand why you would stay."
Fuxing chuckled, "Second Prince, have you lost your memory? You forgot that my stargazing story was a lie. If I return to Dajin, this lie will be exposed sooner or later."
"Hahaha..." Yuan Xiaonian suddenly laughed, "After all this, you're still planning to hide this from me, right? Why? Does my eldest brother know about this?"
Fuxing was confused by Yuan Xiaonian's reaction and subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?"
"Still playing dumb?" Yuan Xiaonian's expression grew colder. "Is your story about stargazing a lie? Are you still hiding it from me?"
Fuxing understood instantly that so many coincidences had happened along the way, and Yuan Xiaonian, who was so sensitive and suspicious, must have had suspicions a long time ago.
However, Yuan Xiaonian was wrong. He thought the person observing the stars was the lucky star, but he didn't know that it was actually someone else.
Fuxing's mind raced, and he immediately turned and asked, "So, Wei Changkong committed suicide because of you?"
"Why do you say that?" Yuan Xiaonian asked in confusion.
"Because I didn't see Wei Changkong commit suicide the night before. So, Wei Changkong committed suicide because someone else..." Fuxing paused and continued, "To be precise, someone who knew about predicting the future interfered with the outcome. So, was it you?"
Yuan Xiaonian nodded in understanding, "It was indeed me, but I didn't know I would change the outcome, nor did I know that Wei Changkong would have had a different ending the night before."
He admitted frankly, "Before the banquet began, I met with Wei Changkong. I warned him that he was no match for Zi Yunlai. He wasn't a match last time, and he wouldn't be a match this time. Continuing the fight would only kill everyone in the Wei family. Wei Changkong probably knew he was doomed to lose, so he chose to commit suicide."
Fuxing didn't say anything. In fact, when Bai Yu'an came to see her, she suspected that it might be Yuan Xiaonian. But now that she really knew it, she began to worry again whether Yuan Xiaonian would threaten Li Suining and Bai Yu'an.
She quickly came up with a strategy, intending to let Yuan Xiaonian continue to misunderstand her. "Forget it, he's a man who deserves to die."
"Haha..." Yuan Xiaonian sneered, "I was just wondering, why would you care about someone who is insignificant?"
He continued to ask the previous question, "So... what are your plans? I know that Dongchu may appear stronger than Dajin right now, but we all know Dongchu's situation, don't we? As long as I bring back this information from here, once Zi Yunlai and Cao Huaping are dead, Dongchu will be in chaos, and Dajin will take advantage of the situation and move in easily."
"So the Second Prince asked for the armistice agreement in order to make Dongchu relax its guard?" Fuxing raised an eyebrow. "The Second Prince should be able to see that the Queen of Dongchu and I care deeply about each other."
Yuan Xiaonian didn't deny it. His expression turned colder, and there was murderous intent in his eyes. "I understand. So I want to confirm with you again. Do you want to stay in Dongchu? Now that I know the secret of your stargazing, you only have two choices. One is to be used by me, and the other is... to be killed by me. The choice is yours."
Fuxing sneered, without a trace of fear on his face. "The Second Prince is truly magnanimous. However, if you don't kill me now, I might be able to escape to the ends of the earth with my stargazing skills. How will you kill me then?"
"You can escape, even with Bai Yu'an, but what about the rest of the Bai family?" Yuan Xiaonian crushed the teacup in his hand. "Miss Fuxing, I urge you to be more rational. Stargazing is indeed a rare skill, but it's not a knife that kills people. Think carefully."
Fuxing's face grew a little colder. This Yuan Xiaonian... was not beyond her expectations. She had long seen that the Second Prince was a more suitable person for the position of Emperor Jin, and with him, the territory of the Great Jin would surely expand again and again.
She quickly retracted her gaze and said calmly, "Second Prince, don't worry too much. I naturally don't want to stay. If I knew who would win, wouldn't it be foolish for me to stay?"
"Hahaha..." Yuan Xiaonian was very happy to hear this answer, "Okay then, in a few days, we will go back to Dajin together!"
"But there is something I would like to ask the Second Prince." Fuxing said immediately.
Yuan Xiaonian raised his eyebrows and looked over, waiting for her to continue.
"Don't tell Bai Yu'an that I don't plan to stay in Dongchu. He wants me to stay and live an ordinary life. I... don't want to quarrel with him because of this." Fuxing said with a worried look.
Yuan Xiaonian nodded readily, "Okay, but I really didn't expect that you and Bai Er actually had feelings for each other. But Bai Er is also a talented person, and he will definitely be my right-hand man in the future."
Fuxing curled the corners of his mouth and said nothing more.
——
In the courtyard on the back mountain of Tian'en Temple, Bai Yu'an planned to take Li Suining back to the palace, and everyone reluctantly saw them off.
Xiao Wu called Bai Yu'an to the side and said softly, "Second brother, if you also want to stay in Dongchu, then stay. We are at home, don't worry."
Bai Yu'an looked over in shock when he heard that. He knew that Xiao Wu had asked him to stay away from Fuxing from the beginning, but today, Xiao Wu actually took the initiative to ask him to stay in Dongchu with Fuxing.
He subconsciously laughed dryly, "Old Three, what are you talking about? How could I possibly..."
"Second brother!" Xiao Wu was not acting on impulse. He sat in a wheelchair, looking up at Bai Yu'an, "Everyone should live for themselves at least once. Second brother, when I ran away, it was just for myself, completely disregarding you. And you have always been taking care of our family, taking care of our parents, and taking care of the Bai family army for us. Second brother, this time, make a choice for yourself!"
Bai Yu looked at Xiao Wu calmly, but was speechless for a long time. If he really stayed, how could he bear to leave his family? But if he left, Fuxing would definitely not stay!
