Chapter 874 Concealment (3)
The spilled tea spilled all over the floor, startling his staff and confidants. Fu Xiuyi was a man who kept his emotions to himself. While he occasionally got angry, it was never as explicit as it was now. It seemed like the first time he'd seen him lose his composure like this.
Fu Xiuyi only uttered the word "OK" and threw the letter fiercely at the staff's face. The staff hurriedly took it and was stunned when he saw it.
In her letter, Princess Rongxin mentioned something about Prince Rui. Everyone knew that because of her close relationship with Princess Yuqing, Princess Rongxin had also shown great care for Princess Yuqing's son, Xie Jingxing. She even went so far as to antagonize the Lin'an Marquisate for Xie Jingxing. Then, two years ago, Xie Jingxing died on the battlefield, and Princess Rongxin was deeply saddened.
Princess Rongxin naturally knew Xie Jingxing, and in Zhafeng's mind, Princess Rongxin brought up a sensational matter. Princess Rongxin felt that Prince Rui of Daliang and Xie Jingxing were somewhat similar.
This was unfounded, and suddenly claiming that the Duke of Daliang resembled someone who had been dead for over two years was ridiculous. However, Fu Xiuyi had been following the Princess's residence for so long and had long noticed something unusual about Princess Rongxin. Needless to say, Fu Xiuyi was almost certain that what Princess Rongxin said was true.
There is no doubt that the King Rui from Daliang is actually Xie Jingxing.
The staff's hands could barely hold the letter. Xie Jingxing was Prince Rui? What did that mean? It meant that Xie Jingxing had the entire Mingqi under his thumb. If Xie Jingxing had been secretly interacting with Daliang when he was still the heir of Lin'an Marquis's mansion, then Daliang would probably know everything that happened in Mingqi.
"Your Highness..." The staff looked at Fu Xiuyi, a trace of panic flashing in his eyes.
Fu Xiuyi did slowly calm down, but upon closer inspection, his hands seemed to still be shaking.
"Since Xie Jingxing is not dead, the incident involving the Xie family army in Northern Xinjiang must have been exposed..." he said slowly.
The Xie family army was mingled with members of the imperial family, and Xie Ding's confidant had fatally stabbed Xie Jingxing. Since Xie Jingxing survived, he must have investigated the situation thoroughly. This meant that everything they did to the Lin'an Marquisate was visible to Xie Jingxing. So, what was Xie Jingxing doing during this Ming-Qi tribute? Was he seeking revenge?
Fu Xiuyi held onto the table.
The staff member was also extremely bewildered. After a pause, he said, "Since the princess has already sent this letter to the palace, His Majesty will know about it and will take action."
"It's useless." Fu Xiuyi interrupted him, "Xie Jingxing has been away from Dingjing for over a month. Father is afraid of the power of Daliang and doesn't dare to confront him openly. If Xie Jingxing hadn't left yet, he could have used the people of the world to stir up trouble, but it's too late now."
The staff also sighed and lamented, "Why didn't the princess bring out this letter sooner? If she had, we wouldn't be so helpless now."
Fu Xiuyi glanced at him, seemingly displeased with his subordinate's stupidity. The staff felt uneasy when he looked at them. Fu Xiuyi only said, "Foolish! The princess must have thought of a way to inform the emperor before, perhaps even the night before the wedding. But in the end, she was stopped by Xie Jingxing, just like my men."
Although he tried his best to suppress his anger, he still couldn't hide the resentment in his eyes: "Xie Jingxing...you're hiding it too well!"
"What about the Shen family..." asked the staff.
"Keep staring." Fu Xiuyi sneered: "I want to see whether the Shen family knows nothing about Xie Jingxing's identity, or whether they have been pretending to be stupid all these years."
At this moment, everyone in the Shen residence still didn't know that such a thing had happened in Prince Ding's mansion.
