Chapter 791 Brother-in-law (4)
Fu Xiuyi smiled and said, "Even though I can't get close to them, no one in Mingqi can either. Aside from the Crown Prince, any of the other brothers who are tied to the Shen family will arouse the suspicion of our father. The Crown Prince was originally sure to win, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened midway. Perhaps God is on our side." He did not have the slightest regret, but simply said, "Some powerful officials in Mingqi will not marry into the Shen family. Although the Shen family is wealthy and powerful, Shen Miao may not be able to marry well."
Concubine Dong Shu sighed, "True." Then she remembered something: "But the Crown Prince has fallen hard this time. The matter of Huangfu Hao will definitely not be easily resolved. Do you think this was done by the brothers Zhou and Jing, or by Prince Li?"
Fu Xiuyi didn't form cliques, as he didn't trust his brothers. He always rose to power on his own. Originally, the Zhou and Li factions were at war with each other. Now that Emperor Wenhui was intent on supporting the Crown Prince, even considering marrying him to the Shen family, the Zhou and Li princes were anxious. Who knew the Crown Prince would suddenly appear mid-sentence? The Crown Prince had become their formidable rival, and naturally, they would spare no effort to eliminate him.
This time, the Crown Prince murdered Huangfu Hao. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was something fishy going on. It was likely that the Crown Prince was being plotted against. After careful consideration, the most likely culprits were the King of Zhou and the King of Li.
However, such blatant calculations do not seem to be the usual style of these two people.
Fu Xiuyi shook his head and said, "It may not be the work of the two of them."
When Concubine Dong Shu heard this, she was stunned and asked, "If it's not them, then is there someone else?"
The faces of Prince Rui and Shen Miao popped up in Fu Xiuyi's mind.
There must be some hidden relationship between Prince Rui and Shen Miao. Although it is not clear what is maintaining this relationship, as long as it is related to Shen Miao, there will be a master behind the scenes to guide it. All signs indicate that the person is undoubtedly Prince Rui.
Previously, Emperor Wenhui had the Empress test the Shen family and spread the rumor that Shen Miao was going to marry into the Crown Prince's Mansion. Not long after, Prince Rui said those ambiguous words to Emperor Wenhui, and Emperor Wenhui gave up the idea of having Shen Miao marry immediately.
This incense-producing scheme was clearly set up to target Shen Miao. Even now, Huangfu Hao and the Crown Prince are both injured, while Shen Miao remains unharmed. I heard that Shen Miao was also planning to go to Yifeng Pavilion that day, but she bumped into an old woman on the way, delaying her and not going. How could this be such a coincidence? Could it be that Prince Rui was manipulating everything behind the scenes this time as well?
If it was Prince Rui who did this, he was clearly in Mingqi, yet he dared to act so blatantly, and even plotted against the princes of two countries. This Prince Rui is really a bit chilling.
Seeing Fu Xiuyi lost in thought, Concubine Dong Shu asked him, "What's wrong?"
Fu Xiuyi came back to his senses and said, "Nothing." He suddenly stood up and looked at Concubine Dong Shu: "Your son suddenly remembered something else, so I won't chat with you anymore."
"Business is more important." Concubine Dong Shu said, "You go first."
…
On the other hand, thank God, Ji Yushu and Gao Yang were finally released from the tower prison.
These days, the two of them had been guarding prisoners in the tower cell, witnessing all sorts of tactics. Gao Yang was relatively okay, but Ji Yushu, a delicate and delicate person, had lost a lot of weight. It was for no other reason than the nausea he felt every day and the inability to eat, so it was surprising that he hadn't lost weight.
After finally being released, the two held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes, speechless and choked with emotion. After a while, Ji Yushu said, "I have to go back to Fengxian Pawnshop to take a shower and change clothes. Then I'll say goodbye." After saying that, he ran away.
Gao Yang sighed, feeling a wave of exhaustion as he looked at his own dusty appearance. Xie Jingxing was so heartless. Just a little oversight had them sent to the Tower Prison. The Tower Prison! Even Tie Yi couldn't handle it the first time he went in!
