Chapter 606
Huangfu Hao recalled the day of the tribute banquet, when Princess Ming'an and Shen Miao were in a stalemate. As a father, Shen Xin stood on Shen Miao's side from beginning to end, even ignoring Emperor Wenhui's expression and showing a tough attitude. If Shen Xin stood up for his daughter, it would not be impossible for Shen Xin's men to take action.
"What about the Xie family's bastard?" Huangfu Hao said in a deep voice: "Even if Chen Xin stood up for Shen Miao, he would not involve the Xie family for no reason. Xie Ding is still an official in Mingqi, and Chen Xin will not cause trouble for himself."
Fu Xiuyi sighed and said, "Doesn't the Crown Prince understand? During those days, I originally asked the Xie brothers to entertain Princess Ming'an, and Princess Ming'an was with the Xie brothers. The Crown Prince and the princess are siblings, so I think he knows the princess's temperament. Shen Miao and Princess Ming'an have already had conflicts, so if Princess Ming'an wants to deal with Shen Miao, it is understandable. However, the princess is a Qin after all, and Shen Miao is a daughter of an official, so it would be inconvenient to take action. The Xie brothers are good at using her."
Huangfu Hao was stunned and said angrily, "You can't say..."
"Your Highness, there's no need to be angry. I originally wanted to train the Xie brothers so they could be my assistants in the future, but they probably aren't destined for great success. You'll understand what happened next. It's likely that something went wrong when the Xie brothers attacked, so in the end, they were the ones who died, and they also implicated the princess."
Although Huangfu Hao's face still showed disbelief, he had already begun to ponder. First, Shen Miao was abducted for no apparent reason. At the time, Huangfu Hao had suspected Princess Ming'an was responsible. Later, seeing that Princess Ming'an had not left the residence and did not know many people in Mingqi, he did not think much of it. Then, Shen Miao was inexplicably sent back to the Shen residence by that idiotic Princess Rongxin. Then, Princess Ming'an and the Xie brothers met with trouble.
Fu Xiuyi was right. Princess Ming'an was a very vengeful person. If she had been humiliated by Shen Miao before, she would not have let the matter go so easily. It was true that the Xie brothers often appeared at the mansion during those days. If it was for this reason, it was understandable. But was Shen Miao really that capable? Huangfu Hao always felt that something was wrong. Even if Shen Xin loved Shen Miao and had such ability, it was not wise to openly confront the princess of a country. Especially since Shen Xin had just returned to the capital, many things were still unstable... Even if he didn't think about himself, he had to think about the other people in the Shen family. Was Shen Xin so stupid? He even threw away his reason for his daughter?
Huangfu Hao didn't listen to anything Fu Xiuyi said afterwards. He felt that what Fu Xiuyi said made some sense, but he was still hesitant. Seeing Huangfu Hao's restlessness, Fu Xiuyi didn't say anything more. After Fu Xiuyi left, Pei Lang walked out from behind the screen.
"What do you mean, Your Highness?" Pei Lang asked, "Why do you want to bring up the Shen family?"
Fu Xiuyi glanced at Pei Lang and shook his head, saying, "Sir, you don't know. I think Shen Miao might have some connection with Prince Rui of Daliang."
Pei Lang's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm as he said, "Your Highness is still hesitant about the matter at the Crown Prince's residence. Prince Rui is from the Liang Dynasty, and Shen Miao left the capital two years ago. There is absolutely no possibility that the two of them knew each other. If they had known each other for just a few months, it would be too far-fetched."
"I know you find this unbelievable, sir," Fu Xiuyi said, "but I have a hunch. There's something fishy going on between Shen Miao and Prince Rui. There have been so many coincidences lately. If Shen Miao and Prince Rui have only known each other for a few short months, then it's even more intriguing. Prince Rui is so arrogant that even my father finds it hard to approach him. I also want to know what Shen Miao's abilities are."
