Chapter 224 I'll Be the Bad Guy
"He found me." Cheng Nianying said softly.
"So he captured you and brought you to the capital?"
"Someone caught me."
"Someone else?" King Liang was stunned again. Obviously, this was completely different from what he had guessed.
"Well, to threaten Fu Yi." Cheng Nianying briefly mentioned it and explained why she appeared here.
Prince Liang opened his mouth, still a little dazed: "...Fu Yi will also be threatened?"
"Yeah. He said he would."
"You believed him just because he said so?"
"Just believe it for now."
"How can this be possible?"
“How can you know right from wrong if you don’t try?”
King Liang stared at her, unable to find any words to refute for a moment.
"I also have something to ask His Royal Highness Prince Liang." Cheng Nianying was the first to break the stagnation at this moment.
"Just ask."
"If the headdress was a gift of apology from Prince Liang, then why did His Royal Highness Prince Liang help me escape from the Prince's Mansion?"
Prince Liang shuddered, thinking of Qin Yurong's previous misunderstanding, and quickly clarified: "Don't people in the world know? Fu Yi is not good, so I feel good."
"Oh." Cheng Nianying seemed to be thinking about something.
"Then I'm leaving." Cheng Nianying felt that she had said what she wanted to say clearly, so she turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait." King Liang decided to ask again. "I heard King Ding's daughters talking about... seemingly trying to coax someone unwillingly. Is this person talking about you?"
"It should be."
"What's Fu Yi up to? Why did he push you to the front?"
Cheng Nianying thought about it and said something on Fu Yi's behalf: "He didn't do anything wrong."
"Since King Liang has asked so many questions, I would also like to ask why King Liang came here?"
King Liang's voice paused.
How can I casually tell others about such a secret matter?
Seeing that he didn't respond, Cheng Nianying just nodded slightly and really left.
King Liang fell behind with a complicated expression.
He didn't have to worry about it.
Yes, she just looks weak.
King Liang still remembers Fu Yi's expression when she escaped successfully.
Prince Liang slowly turned around. Since the person Prince Ding's daughter was referring to was "Xiao He", what kind of deal did Prince Ding's Mansion want to reach with Fu Yi by trying to please her?
What are they planning behind the scenes?
King Liang climbed back into the wall.
Coincidentally, the people inside were also looking for him everywhere.
"Your Highness, have you forgotten that the girl you brought is still waiting for you?" The servants of the palace came up hurriedly, as if they didn't want him to stay any longer.
Prince Liang showed no sign of surprise. He pushed the man away impatiently, "Yes! What? You still dare to treat her badly?"
The servant laughed awkwardly and said, "How dare I?"
King Liang felt even more complicated as he walked back.
That's his own flesh and blood.
That woman had kept her... He should have been more affectionate and caring towards her. However, they were both strangers, and for a moment, he couldn't muster any fatherly feelings.
Prince Liang was led into a side room.
He was about to scold Prince Ding for his poor hospitality when he looked up and saw Prince Ding waiting for him.
"I've specially left a chance for my nephew. Have you gone to the place you want to go and taken a good look? Isn't it time for my nephew to fulfill his wish?"
"There's nothing left inside." King Liang said in a cold and hard tone.
"After all these years..." Prince Ding's face showed regret. "I wonder what you're hoping to find after all this time, or if someone has spread rumors about you? The matter was resolved back then, so don't dwell on it. It will only jeopardize our relationship as uncle and nephew."
"Do I have a friendship with Prince Ding?" Prince Liang asked in return.
Prince Ding's expression froze slightly.
He thought that this was probably what annoyed Fu Yi the most about him.
Even if given a way out, he refuses to take it.
The more the King of Liang made things difficult for him, the less he behaved like a junior, and the more it seemed that he and Fu Yi were in the same boat.
Thinking of this, Prince Ding’s anger subsided.
"As your uncle, I won't argue with you." Prince Ding shook his head and ordered his servants, "Send Prince Liang out of the palace for me."
But how could the servants dare to move?
King Liang didn't even give face to King Ding, let alone them?
They all stood there, secretly looking towards King Liang.
Qin Yurong couldn't help but come forward and asked, "Xiao He...is that her?"
King Liang was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"It's a pity that I didn't see her when I was in Heqing. I didn't expect that when we met again, my sister would fall into the hands of Prince Danshuo again." Qin Yurong lowered her voice, but she could not hide her sobs.
"He Qing?"
"Well, when she ran away, Mother told her to hide in Heqing. I have an aunt who lives there."
"Does your mother have other sisters?"
"My mother only has this one sister."
Thoughts collided in Prince Liang's mind. There was something strange happening in Prince Ding's mansion. Fu Yi appeared here with "Xiao He"... He Qing's aunt... Countless thoughts were like streams, rushing together.
Seeing that King Liang suddenly fell silent, Qin Yurong continued to ask, "How are we going to save Xiao He this time?"
"She...she said she was fine." King Liang slowly came back to his senses.
Qin Yurong was dumbfounded: "Really?"
"...Hmm." Prince Liang showed a bit of kindness. "After I left, did Prince Ding's mansion treat you with any disrespect?"
Qin Yurong wasn't used to this tone, but she answered anyway: "No one paid any attention to me at first. Then Prince Ding's daughter came. When she saw me, she called me sister affectionately and wanted to take me out to play. But Prince Ding stopped her..."
"Did you know them when you were a girl in the Marquis's mansion?"
"I don't know him."
A bolt of lightning struck King Liang's mind.
"They mistook you..." Prince Liang muttered, "Because you look just like Xiao He! They've seen Xiao He before she changed her appearance! Why did Fu Yi show her to them?"
"I've already been married off once, so why can't I do it again?"
"They want to cover up..."
"What Prince Ding's Mansion is seeking..."
"The reason why Fu Yi brought Xiao He here..."
Qin Yurong was completely confused. "What? What did King Liang say?"
"Go! Go out and chase Fu Yi!" King Liang could no longer suppress his impulse and ran ahead.
Qin Yurong could only lift her skirt and chase after him.
The servants in Prince Ding's mansion also didn't hear clearly what Prince Liang was muttering. Seeing that he was leaving so readily, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and only regretted that they couldn't beat gongs and drums to see him off.
But when Prince Liang came out, where was Fu Yi's carriage?
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.
I just felt that when we met before, Fu Yi's words "Cuiwei Pavilion? What's so special about this place?" seemed to be intentional.
Was the word "Xiao He" also called out on purpose for them to hear?
What is Fu Yi waiting to see?
Wait and see? See if he can figure out this mystery?
King Liang gritted his teeth.
"Go to Prince Danshuo's Mansion!" he squeezed out.
This immediately earned him the surprised gazes of his subordinates, who politely said, "Your Highness, we just returned to the capital. I'm afraid this isn't a good idea..."
After another conflict with Prince Danshuo, are you leaving the capital again before you even have time to relax?
Prince Liang calmed down a bit and beckoned his subordinates closer: "Stay nearby. I want you to find out what's going on in Prince Ding's mansion recently."
"yes!"
"The point is... what happened in the backyard, do you know?"
"What happened in the backyard?"
"Whether there are any rumors or not... I don't believe them. There is not a single word leaked!"
The subordinates also nodded in confusion.
What exactly does Your Highness want to find out?
This was the first time they had seen His Highness act so mysterious.
How could the subordinates know that at this moment King Liang only had a horrified guess in his mind without any real evidence.
He desperately needs some evidence!
Even a little bit!

On this side, Cheng Nianying followed Fu Yi back to the Prince's Mansion.
Fu Yi was about to get off the carriage, but Cheng Nianying raised her hand to hold the door curtain.
Fu Yi asked her with a smile: "Why? Are you still going to imprison me?"
"Prince Liang interrupted me earlier. I asked the Prince of the County a question, but he hasn't answered me yet."
"I call you 'Aying', so intimately. Why do you still call me 'Prince'?"
"Why are you talking about something else again?" Cheng Nianying wrinkled her nose.
Fu Yi withdrew his hand and asked, "Can you tell me one last thing?"
"What?"
"I saw just now that King Liang was filled with righteous indignation, as if he wanted to save you again. He was determined to get you out of this abyss of suffering. So what did you say to him? Why did he let you go so easily?"
There is nothing wrong with this.
Cheng Nianying said seriously, "I said I'll trust you first."
Fu Yi was so happy that his eyes were smiling.
"Yes, then trust me this time. Don't ask, I'll be the bad guy. Only I will be the bad guy."
He stroked Cheng Nianying's hair habitually, lovingly, almost reluctantly: "Just wait for the harvest, those... are what you deserve."
