Chapter 539: Robbery (4)
"Stop feeding it. If you keep feeding it, it will really turn into a cat. With its current behavior, it doesn't look like a tiger at all." Gao Yang watched from the side and poured cold water on it.
Xie Jingxing turned a deaf ear to him and continued to feed the white tiger while nonchalantly saying, "I'm petting you, do you have any objections?"
Gao Yang was choked and stretched out his hand, saying, "Alright, alright, I don't care if you're feeding the cat or the tiger. What exactly happened in the East Palace today? It's inexplicable why you're attacking Prince Ding. A man like Fu Xiuyi must be suspicious of you now. It's not right to alert the enemy. What are you thinking?"
When Gao Yang heard what was happening in the palace, he couldn't believe it at first. Xie Jingxing had his own way of doing things, and now was not the right time to confront Fu Xiuyi. Fu Xiuyi also had some tricks up his sleeve. While they wouldn't hurt Xie Jingxing, they would definitely cause him some trouble. He couldn't afford to make any mistakes now.
Seeing that Xie Jingxing had no intention of paying attention to him, Gao Yang's eyes rolled: "Isn't it because of Shen Miao?"
Xie Jingxing asked: "Are you free?"
"What?"
"Have you taken care of the Su family's affairs?" Xie Jingxing asked.
Gao Yang was stunned for a moment, then said, "I've already arranged for someone to do it. But," he paused, then continued, "Is there any point in doing this? Although you and Su Mingfeng are good friends, if he knows your true identity one day, he will definitely become your enemy. By then, everything you do will be seen as ulterior motives in his eyes. It would be better not to do it, so why bother doing this?"
Emperor Wenhui was intent on suppressing the Su family. Even though the Su family had been deliberately withdrawing their influence, they still had some remnants left behind. These remnants could very well become leverage against the Su family in the future. Xie Jingxing had Gao Yang secretly remove these leverages for the Su family, protecting them from future misfortunes.
Gao Yang remained noncommittal about Xie Jingxing's actions. Xie Jingxing was currently wearing a mask, so no one knew he was Prince Rui. But if the truth ever came to light, he could deny it, but Su Mingfeng would surely recognize him. He was a childhood friend, a brother who had known each other for so long, yet was deceiving him. Moreover, Daliang and Mingqi would eventually become enemies.
Xie Jingxing could protect the Su family, but he couldn't protect his past with Su Mingfeng. This was an unavoidable fact.
"Why should I consider his opinion when I do something?" Xie Jingxing said, "It's just because I want to do it."
"Is that so?" Gao Yang said sharply, "Perhaps you've forgotten that you're different now than you were before. With this identity, no one in Mingqi is trustworthy. Without the mask, others will look at you with wariness. I can warn you as a subordinate. There's nothing to hide, Your Highness."
The night breeze blew gently. The white tiger, having eaten its fill, burped and excitedly reached out to grab Xie Jingxing's sleeve. The whole yard was filled with the sound of the silent wind.
Not long after, Xie Jing Xing said: "No."
"Not everyone. There's one person who's different." He said, "Someone I can interact with as the King of Daliang Rui."
"You are talking about Shen Miao?" Gao Yang reminded him, "Your Highness, don't forget that Shen Miao is now associated with Your Highness because she also wants to deal with Prince Ding Fu Xiuyi. Your Highness can help her, but if the day really comes, when the final moment comes, she will still stand against Your Highness. Wasn't Your Highness prepared from the beginning to be spurned by the world? If you only indulge in temporary happiness, it will be a dream, and waking up will only increase the sadness."
"So what?"
Gao Yang was stunned.
