Fu Xingkai was furious. Even if it was his daughter, so what? He could not even care about Wanzhen's biological son. What did Fu Jinyao, who was born to an insignificant woman, matter to him!
"I'll say it again, get out." Fu Xingkai issued the final ultimatum.
Fu Jinyao couldn't believe it. She looked at Shi Mingyue in the hall. The pitying look in her eyes almost drove her crazy. She remembered how much her father doted on her. Since she was a child, he never gave her whatever she wanted. Why would he let her get out for this woman?
"Father, do you really want to learn from Emperor Xuanzong of Tang? I'm afraid Shi Mingyue's life will be even shorter than Yang Guifei's!" Fu Jinyao scolded loudly.
Fu Xingkai has reached the limit of his patience. No matter what, he just wants the other party to shut up.
"Your Majesty! There is a long time to come. There is no need for me to affect the relationship between you and your daughter." Shi Mingyue interrupted the tense atmosphere at the right time.
Hearing this, Fu Jinyao and Fu Qiyao looked at her with eyes like sharp swords, wishing to tear her into pieces.
Shi Mingyue knew how disgusting her pretentious appearance was, so she ignored their gazes. Fu Xingkai was slightly moved by her words and nodded reluctantly, "I'll have Fu Shun take you back first."
Fu Shun, who was standing at the door of the hall and was frightened because he failed to stop Fu Jinyao and Fu Qiyao, immediately walked into the hall after hearing the emperor's words, took Shi Mingyue out, and separated the two princesses.
As soon as Shi Mingyue left, Fu Jinyao and Fu Qiyao had no reason to stay here any longer, so they both left.
Fu Shun accompanied her all the way to the gate of Prince Ling's Mansion. When Shi Mingyue entered the mansion, she knew that she had to act quickly, otherwise the situation would be difficult to turn around.
She walked into the bedroom, and Fu Yueli was waiting for her inside, "You're back!"
Shi Mingyue walked closer and nodded slightly: "Yeah."
Fu Yueli seemed to have noticed something and frowned slightly: "Who did you go to see?"
Shi Mingyue was shocked. How did he guess that?
Before she could answer, Fu Yueli said in a very serious tone, "Tell me the truth. I don't want you to lie to me."
Shi Mingyue was about to say something to evade the question, but now she didn't dare to speak easily. However, she couldn't tell the truth because Fu Yueli didn't know about her relationship with the emperor.
Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Fu Yueli couldn't bear it any longer: "You went to see the emperor, right?"
Shi Mingyue's eyes widened: "How did you know?!"
"You smell like ambergris. When I was blind as a child, I developed good hearing and sense of smell." Fu Yueli grabbed her shoulders. "Why did you go to see him? To plead for me?"
"...Yes." Shi Mingyue could only answer this way.
"No need." Fu Yueli emphasized her tone. Her father had such feelings for her, he would never let her leave him and put herself in danger.
Shi Mingyue was already in the wrong, so she lowered her head and said, "I understand. I won't go again."
"You don't know," Fu Yueli forced her to raise her head and asked her to look at him carefully. "I know very well what the emperor thinks of you, so don't leave my side."
Shi Mingyue froze. He actually knew that! She looked at him bewilderedly, "How could you..."
"However I know it, it doesn't matter."
Shi Mingyue calmed down. Since he knew, she needed to know his attitude: "I want to ask you a question."
"Ask."
Shi Mingyue considered her next words. For her, asking this question was difficult: "Do you still have feelings for him as a father?"
Fu Yueli was stunned for a moment, then shook his head firmly: "Ever since he started coveting you, there is no so-called father-son relationship between us."
Shi Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, then she could tell him about her plan.
"Xie Rutao was killed by the Emperor. I've already informed Prime Minister Xie of this news." Before entering the palace today, Shi Mingyue wrote a letter and asked Pipi to deliver it to Xie Qichang. While in Xinzhou, He Jun had taught her some skills in communicating with animals, so she was able to make Pipi understand her intentions.
The two spoke in low voices from the beginning to the present, to prevent the guards outside from hearing. Fu Yueli whispered, "But Xie Qichang is loyal to him."
Shi Mingyue said, "I didn't ask him to help us. I just informed him about this matter. I also did something else just now."
"What is it?"
"I asked Pipi to take the letter to Yunzhou."
"What's in the letter?"
"It contains extremely treasonous content." Shi Mingyue smiled and suddenly leaned close to Fu Yueli's ear. Since it contained extremely treasonous content, she must speak in a low voice.
The next day, Shi Mingyue walked out of her bedroom and found someone waiting for her outside the door. It was the person sent by the emperor to take her into the palace.
She followed the man into the carriage and headed for the palace.
However, when the carriage was entering the palace gate, it was stopped by someone. Shi Mingyue lifted the curtain and saw the left prime minister Xie Qichang and two princesses outside.
"Princess Ling, please get out of the carriage," Xie Qichang said politely. But the two princesses beside him were not as polite as he was, looking at Shi Mingyue with hatred in their eyes.
Shi Mingyue still ignored their gazes. She got off the carriage and asked, "What does Xie Xiang want to talk to me about?"
"You bitch! What do you want to do after entering the palace?" Fu Jinyao lost her temper and started cursing.
Xie Qichang glanced at her with a dignified gaze: "Princess."
Fu Jinyao wasn't even afraid of the emperor, so how could she be afraid of a single glance from him? She then questioned Shi Mingyue, "Brother has been deposed as Crown Prince, and you're thinking of climbing up the social ladder? You want to be like Yang Yuhuan, but I'm afraid you'll die even shorter than her. Yang Yuhuan died at Mawei Slope, how did you intend to die?"
Xie Qichang scolded, "That's enough! The princess didn't invite me here to listen to your words."
Fu Jinyao finally shut up, but still glared at Shi Mingyue angrily. Who the hell is this person? He actually wanted to seduce his father.
Xie Qichang pointed to a secluded place on the city wall with his hand. Shi Mingyue understood his meaning and followed him there.
The two princesses wanted to follow them, but Xie Qichang stopped them: "Princess, there are some things that are not convenient for you to hear."
Fu Jinyao and Fu Qiyao could only stay where they were and watch the two of them walk over, whispering something to each other.
"Do you really mean what you said in yesterday's letter?" Without anyone around, Xie Qichang could finally ask the question.
Shi Mingyue said firmly, "Seriously, I can swear on my life that what I said is true. The emperor himself admitted to me that he was the one who killed Miss Xie."
Xie Qichang asked her this question just to make himself at peace. The two princesses said that Shi Mingyue tried to seduce the emperor, and Shi Mingyue said that it was the emperor who wanted to seize her by force, so he killed Xie Rutao for her. He didn't have to think about it any more, the answer was obvious.
Shi Mingyue is right.
