Chapter 225 I know!
"But I guessed it."
"Guessed it?" A hint of surprise flashed across Fu Yi's eyes, but he suppressed it. "Yes, you're so smart, you should have guessed it. Then don't say it out loud."
He touched the two coffin nails still pinned to her waist and said, "Don't rush into surgery. Wait a little longer."
"Let's go, it's time to get off the carriage." Fu Yi turned around and held her hand.
Cheng Nianying let go of the door curtain.
Only then did Fu Yi take her downstairs.
"If I don't call you 'Prince', what should I call you?" Cheng Nianying asked suddenly.
"When we were in Weiyang in the past, did you ever secretly call me by my full name and curse me behind my back?" Fu Yi asked with a curious smile.
"……have."
Although I asked the question myself, it still hurt a little.
Fu Yi pursed his lips before continuing, "Call me by my courtesy name."
"oh."
Fu Yi didn't ask her why she didn't call out and come to listen.
When I entered the door, I heard someone calling me "Brother".
Cheng Nianying looked up and saw that it was Fu Ruiming.
"Were you injured when fighting with Master Ruan that day?" Cheng Nianying took two steps forward and asked.
Fu Ruiming was stunned for a moment, and only after hearing this familiar voice did he slowly react -
Isn’t this the person who stood next to Jiang Shenyuan that day and looked like my cousin’s wife?
Now I have the answer to why my brother suddenly wanted to wipe out Shaoqu Tower.
Fu Ruiming called out tentatively: "...cousin's wife?"
Cheng Nianying didn't respond, but took a few steps closer to him and asked curiously in a low voice, "Where is Zhong Dingyuan now?"
Fu Yi watched from behind and felt a little jealous for no reason.
"There are close friends around here, why do you have to lower your voice deliberately?" Fu Yi followed two steps and said.
Cheng Nianying didn't look back.
Fu Ruiming felt a sense of pressure for no reason, and said with his shoulders slumped, "He... was locked up first."
No matter what Fu Yi said, Cheng Nianying just lowered her voice and spoke to Fu Ruiming in a low voice.
Fu Ruiming nodded and said, "Okay."
Fu Yi didn't hear a single word of what the two of them said, and immediately became very unhappy: "What are you talking about? I can't listen to it?"
Cheng Nianying turned around: "Don't ask."
Fu Yi: “…”
It is really not easy to learn good things, but once you learn bad things, they will be used against you again.
Fu Yi finally raised the end of his eyebrows, but didn't really ask.
Fu Ruiming was surprised. He knew his brother's temper and would never tolerate being deceived in front of others.
Except when you're playing the long game to catch the big fish.
Fu Ruiming was still full of questions, so Fu Yi called him away.
Cheng Nianying followed Nanny Shi and stayed alone.
The next day, Fu Yi got up early to look for her, but she was nowhere to be found.
"Miss Xiaohe didn't say where she was going?" Fu Yi asked.
"Yes, he followed Lord Fu. I thought it was the master's order." The maid was also surprised.
Fu Yi pinched his fingertips and said, "Zimao and I talked until three o'clock last night. Why did you come to see me so early today? You don't feel tired at all."
The maid naturally couldn't answer this question and could only hang her head and act like a fool.
Fu Yi turned and left.
The maid suddenly remembered that her master had been talking with Lord Fu until three in the morning, so she should be tired!
Cheng Nianying was meeting Zhong Dingyuan at this time.
Zhong Dingyuan was bound with three heavy chains, weighing him down so hard that he could barely lift his head. Curses escaped him with great difficulty: "Fu Yi, you bastard! How dare you do this to me?"
Fu Ruiming answered, "Everyone knows that the Crown Prince is dead. Since you have taken off your noble title, why can't I treat you like this?"
Zhong Dingyuan had been cursing Fu Yi over and over again these past few days, but one day someone suddenly joined in. He hastily raised his head and saw the unlucky Fu Ruiming first, then Cheng Nianying...
He immediately became even more furious: "How dare you come to see me? You betrayed our alliance! You actually watched me being captured by Fu Yi's men!"
Cheng Nianying approached, squatted down, and looked at him at eye level: "Fu Yixian did something good for me."
Zhong Dingyuan was furious: "So you turned to him?"
Cheng Nianying reminded him: "You wanted to kill me before in Prince Kang's mansion."
Zhong Dingyuan's eyes flashed: "But in the end, wasn't it me who got beaten by you underwater?"
"Later, when we arrived in Kuizhou, you abandoned me and ran away with the badge, not caring whether I lived or died."
"Yes, yes...but in the end, I was the one who was thrown into jail?" Speaking of which, Zhong Dingyuan felt that he had really bad luck.
Every time you do something bad, you shoot yourself in the foot.
Zhong Dingyuan tried to awaken her conscience: "Who accompanied you to test Master Ruan every day? It was me!"
"That's because you knew Jiang Shenyuan wasn't really obedient to you, and you were afraid that even if you returned to the Imperial Capital, the Emperor wouldn't necessarily reinstate you as the Crown Prince. You were just the knife to kill Fu Yi. You were determined to find a way out for yourself, so you found me."
"..." Zhong Dingyuan rushed forward excitedly, but was pulled back by the iron chain, and almost fell flat on his face. He raised his head with difficulty, "Did Fu Yi teach you all this?"
"No, I guessed what you were thinking when you first came to me to collaborate with me." Cheng Nianying wondered, "Is it that hard to guess?"
“…………”
Zhong Dingyuan sneered and adjusted his sitting position to appear less embarrassed. "Okay, so you can just abandon me? If that's the case, why did you come here today?"
Cheng Nianying looked at him and asked seriously, "Can you tell me how to kill the emperor? You are his son, so you naturally understand him."
Zhong Dingyuan's expression froze for a moment.
After a while, he regained his voice: "Are you kidding me?"
Even Fu Ruiming looked at her in shock.
"The emperor must kill Fu Yi, I see that. But I don't want him to kill Fu Yi. There's no other way, I have to kill the emperor." Cheng Nianying felt that what he said was very fluent and easy to understand.
But Zhong Dingyuan was still stumbling under the intense impact. "You killed the emperor... How could a mere assassin like you kill the emperor? The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and we are all his subjects. How could you kill the emperor?"
"Isn't an assassin someone who kills? Killing anyone is killing. Why can't the emperor be killed?"
Zhong Dingyuan looked at Fu Ruiming in horror: "She's crazy, don't you want to persuade her?"
Zhong Dingyuan's boldest and most daydreamy idea these days is to have his father reinstate him as the crown prince. Not long after the reinstatement, his father dies while dealing with Fu Yi, and then he will smoothly succeed to the throne...
Here's something even crazier.
After hearing this, Fu Ruiming was silent for a while, then said, "Prince, you studied history. Haven't you read in history books about a son killing his father to ascend the throne?"
Zhong Dingyuan opened his mouth wide: "You, you..."
"That's right." Fu Ruiming gripped the hilt of his sword, tightening his grip. "Why... can't I kill him?"

King Liang soon got the news he wanted to know.
"It probably started six days ago. Almost every day, the people in Prince Ding's mansion go out shopping. Not for food, but for women's things. Pearls, powders, silks, and satins. And as if that weren't enough, Prince Ding's second son is secretly collecting rare and valuable items."
"They are all used to coax Xiaohe." King Liang murmured.
"What did the master say?"
"What else? What else did you find out?"
"Fu Yi goes to Prince Ding's Mansion every day."
"Not enough, not enough... what else?" King Liang thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "That day, King Ding said his fifth daughter was delirious and ill. When did she become ill?"
This was much easier to find out than the news from Prince Ding's Mansion. Soon, the subordinate replied, "Five days ago."
"Then let me ask you again..." Prince Liang's heart was pounding wildly, "When the servants of Prince Ding's mansion go to buy women's things, what are the rules and regulations? Are they equivalent to the princess of Prince Ding's mansion?"
"Has there been any rumor circulating in Prince Ding's mansion about the arrival of a new sister?"
The subordinate said, "That's not the case... but I heard that two days ago, Prince Ding's palace dealt with two jealous concubines. Those two concubines didn't have any children, and it seems they were afraid that a woman with children would come in and compete with them for their position."
King Liang struck the armrest with his palm.
The wooden handrail suddenly broke.
"This king has confirmed it!"
"There's more than one person trying to take advantage of this situation! There's even someone here trying to pretend to be my daughter!"
"What? What daughter?" The subordinate was even more confused.
"Send someone to Heqing immediately... I want to find out about the younger sister of Chu Zhen, the wife of the Marquis of Wuning, who is in Heqing."
"Fu Yi is going to Prince Ding's Mansion again today, right?"
"Prepare the carriages and horses. I will be leaving today. ... And prepare the gifts, prepare the gifts! I want them to be... grand!"
*
"How can it be so strange if it's delivered to your door? The things you find after overcoming all difficulties are like the apple of your eye." Fu Yi turned the page of the book in his hand.
"Why hasn't Aying come back yet?" He sighed unhappily.
