Chapter 210 Old Stories
If Prince Ding was the one who harmed Chu Lin back then, Cheng Nianying naturally disliked him when she thought that he was now living a happy life with many children and grandchildren.
"Prince? Prince Danshuo?" The servants of Prince Ding's mansion outside the door couldn't help but call out twice.
Cheng Nianying gathered her robes tightly with both hands, broke free from Fu Yi and jumped out of the carriage first.
Although Fu Yi said there was no need to hide it and it was nothing serious, she still played the role of a maid as if she was familiar with it.
The servants in Prince Ding's mansion had never seen her before, so they showed no surprise at this moment.
Fu Yi came down shortly after, and the servants immediately came forward to help him up: "Your Highness was still saying that the prince was not feeling well, so why bother you to come in person? If you have anything to say, just send someone to tell him."
Fu Yi avoided the hand extended by the servant and pressed half of his body on Cheng Nianying.
He only smiled faintly at the servant's friendly gestures.
He had heard too much in the past.
"Your Highness is concerned about the health of the Prince, so he sent people..." The servant clapped his hands, and saw two young eunuchs carrying a sedan chair out.
Fu Yi just wanted to walk with Cheng Nianying at this moment. He glanced at her and said with a faint smile, "How could I be so unruly in front of His Royal Highness Prince Ding?"
The servants did not dare to persuade him, and they felt that this just made their Dingwang Mansion different. Prince Danshuo always followed the rules when he came here.
The servants lead the way.
Fu Yi half-holds Cheng Nianying's waist and walks behind her. After taking two steps, he can't help but lean over to her ear and ask, "What's that bulge behind your waist?"
"Your men picked up a handy weapon for me."
I guess Jiang Shenyuan took away everything on her body that could be used to kill her.
"I didn't expect you to run into him at the Hanging Temple. It was my mistake."
"It's not a bad thing to meet him."
Otherwise, she would not know that Zhong Dingyuan was still alive, and she would not know that Cen Yaoxin was still alive.
The killer's work is done in secret, and she knows how terrifying the enemy hiding in the dark is.
"But my hairpin was also taken away." Cheng Nianying complained in a low voice.
Fu Yi lowered the corners of his lips: "I will ask him to come again."
He could give Cheng Nianying countless kinds of jewelry, but none of them would be as good as the one he casually bought from a vendor.
She carried it with her for so long.
That long.
So when he caught her in Wei Yang and saw that she was still wearing that thing, his cruel thoughts were instantly suppressed.
"Prince!"
The man's voice sounded muffled.
Then a tall man was seen walking quickly towards them. He looked somewhat like the emperor, but was obviously much younger, with only a few strands of white on his temples.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Ding."
Before Fu Yili finished speaking, Prince Ding came forward and quickly grabbed his arm: "Your Highness is too polite."
From this moment on, Cheng Nianying began to observe Prince Ding carefully.
He was not young, about fifty years old, and his body showed signs of a life of luxury, but there were deep wrinkles between his eyebrows.
Fu Yi had told her everything in the carriage.
Prince Ding is the emperor's biological brother. Although he has been an idle prince for many years, no one dares to look down on him.
It is much better than the Prince Kang's Mansion which is in name only.
While secretly gazing at the situation, just as he was about to cross a threshold, Fu Yi suddenly reached out and grabbed Cheng Nianying's wrist: "Lift your feet, don't fall."
When Prince Ding saw her, his pupils shrank slightly, and he knew that Cheng Nianying had a different identity.
It must be a close woman... He thought about it for a moment, and when he entered the yard and saw his three daughters bowing to him not far away, he changed his mind.
"Let's go have some tea and chat. I'm afraid the girls around the prince will find it boring. Why not ask my daughters to keep her company?"
Cheng Nianying looked at Fu Yi.
Fu Yi: "Go ahead."
According to Chu Zhen, Chu Lin's incident happened in the courtyard of Prince Ding's daughter.
Investigating separately saves effort.
Cheng Nianying was led by the palace maid to the three princesses.
They looked at Cheng Nianying in disappointment and surprise: "You look so much like the Princess!"
"Did he actually bring back a substitute?"
Cheng Nianying now understood why Fu Yi didn't care at all.
The more she tried to hide and evade, the more suspicious she became; the more open she was, the more people would think she was a substitute found by Fu Yi.
Am I my own substitute?
After the three princesses finished speaking, they tried to observe Cheng Nianying's reaction, but she didn't even frown.
It can be seen that this stand-in is a professional.
Neither jealous nor angry.
That's good.
"Let's go and have some fun on our own. Do you know how to play drinking games?"
Cheng Nianying didn't know how to play this game with them, so she asked directly, "How many ranks do the three princesses hold in the mansion?"
"I'm number seven, and they're number eight and nine."
"Prince Ding's fifth daughter is now..."
"Of course it's in her county horse mansion." They looked amused.
yes.
This happened more than ten years ago, and the fifth daughter of Prince Ding was naturally married long ago.
Cheng Nianying didn't have the heart to talk to them anymore and decided to go find Fu Yi.
Fu Yi was also talking to Prince Ding. "I wonder how your highness's memory is?"
"It's not good. Please tell me first, my lord. I'll try to recall it and maybe I can remember it."
"Then I wonder if Your Highness remembers an incident that occurred in Prince Ding's mansion about eighteen years ago."
"What's the matter?" Prince Ding was stunned at first.
But then his expression became extremely subtle.
"Prince... why are you asking about old things? I don't know what it is, I really can't remember it." Prince Ding shook his head.
"Can't you even remember the ugly things?"
Prince Ding's face darkened slightly. Although he wanted to get Fu Yi's help, as the Prince Ding, his dignity could not be insulted.
"What does the prince mean?"
"Since I'm asking directly, I hope Your Highness will speak frankly with me. If everyone has something to hide, how can there be any trust?"
I almost said this. You answered my question. From now on, the Prince's Mansion and your Prince Ding's Mansion will trust each other and be close.
But Prince Ding is not a young boy, and he can't be moved by just one word.
He smiled and said, "I really don't know. Please allow me to think carefully. Come, accompany the prince for a walk around the mansion. I will be alone to think carefully."
He naturally remembered everything, but he had to weigh the pros and cons and decide whether to say it or not.
Fu Yi didn't expose it either.
Prince Ding's second son immediately came in to accompany him out.
The eldest son stayed with Prince Ding and asked, "Why is Fu Yi looking back on the past?"
Prince Ding frowned and said, "That's exactly what I can't figure out."
After a while, a maid knocked on the door and came in to report to Prince Ding in a low voice: "The young lady just now asked the princess about the whereabouts of the fifth princess."
"It seems that Fu Yi is determined to know what happened back then..." Prince Ding was even more worried, "but I can't get anything out of him."
The eldest son of Prince Ding said, "Father is a prince, the younger brother of His Majesty. Even if he wants to win Fu Yi's help, he shouldn't lose his authority. How can he not answer when father asks?"
"Respect the wise and humble yourself, respect the wise and humble yourself." Prince Ding sighed softly, "Ever since the Crown Prince was deposed, so many people have tried to win him over, both openly and covertly, but to no avail."
The eldest son was silent for a long time, and finally tried to guess: "People don't come to look for old things for no reason. When the incident happened, Fu Yi was just a child. What could he have to do with it?"
"I think it's for others."
"Fu Yi just eliminated the assassins and came here without stopping. This shows that this matter is extremely important to him... He may not even have returned to the Prince's Mansion during the journey."
"Besides his bodyguards, he only has one woman with him, not even any other maids. Why did he bring this woman with him? It's not convenient to bring women with you when you're out to eliminate assassins. And this woman asked about the whereabouts of the fifth sister."
"Allow me to make a bold guess. If the events of the past led to a secret pregnancy, could it be that... now that bloodline has come looking for my biological father?"
Prince Ding was shocked.
He patted his eldest son's shoulder and said, "Go outside and invite the prince in."
Fu Yi returned to Prince Ding's study, but there was another person beside him.
Cheng Nianying walked beside him.
Prince Ding looked at her and didn't ask her to leave. He said, "That incident back then... I remember it, everything. It's just that it's inconvenient to mention it to others."
