607 You Have to Stay Away From Prince Rui (6)
Fu Xiuyi smiled and looked at Pei Lang. âSir, you think Shen Miao canât do this alone, and Shen Xin is not an impulsive person and will not kill people rashly, right?â
Pei Lang was enlightened. âSo you thinkâ¦â
âThatâs right.â Fu Xiuyi said, âI suspect that Prince Rui is behind this.â
Pei Lang stopped talking. Seeing that Pei Lang was silent, Fu Xiuyi took the initiative to mention it. He said, âPrince Rui is arrogant and the Daliang Dynasty has many talents. I think with Prince Ruiâs ability, killing a princess is just a piece of cake. However, as you and I both know, Prince Rui has no grudge against Princess Ming An and the Xie family. He wonât cause trouble for himself for no reason. However, if itâs because of Shen Miao, everything makes sense.â He smiled faintly. âItâs not rare for men to take great risks just to win the heart of a beauty, but I donât think Prince Rui is one of them. There must be a special relationship between him and Shen Miao.â
âSo you wanted to get Huangfu Hao to make a move to pull the mastermind out from behind the scene?â Pei Lang asked.
âThatâs right.â Fu Xiuyi smiled and said, âHuangfu Hao is paranoid by nature. Even if he doesnât believe me, he will still be suspicious. One day, he will try to test the waters and target the Shen family. If Prince Rui is really related to Shen Miao, he will step in to help. At that time, we will know their real relationship.â
Pei Lang asked, âThen what if Prince Rui doesnât make a move?â
âItâs fine if he doesnât.â Fu Xiuyi said, âLetting Huangfu Hao deal with the Shen family is also a good thing for us.â
âYour Highness, are you determined to get rid of the Shen family?â Pei Lang looked at him.
âIf I canât use them, I wonât keep them either.â Fu Xiuyi smiled gently, but his tone was very cold. He turned to look at Pei Lang and said, âIâll need your advice in the future.â
Pei Lang nodded.
After Fu Xiuyi left, Pei Lang returned to his room. He looked at the candle in front of him and couldnât help but sigh.
Two years ago, Shen Miao asked him to be a spy working for Fu Xiuyi. He had ability and real knowledge and was lucky enough to be valued by Fu Xiuyi. Now, Fu Xiuyi regarded Pei Lang as his trusted aide and didnât hide anything from him.
Perhaps Fu Xiuyi was really not guarded against Pei Lang. Of course, perhaps Fu Xiuyi was just testing him. If Pei Lang was not Shen Miaoâs spy, he thought he would dedicate his life to help Fu Xiuyi achieve what he wanted.
The more Pei Lang interacted with Fu Xiuyi, the more surprised he was. Fu Xiuyi was indeed a man of vision and wisdom. He had the means of an emperor. Pei Lang even felt that in a few years or more, the world would eventually fall into Fu Xiuyiâs hands, and Fu Xiuyi would eventually ascend the throne.
However, of all the people, Shen Miao chose to go against Fu Xiuyi. It wasnât that Pei Lang had never thought of changing sides, but Shen Miao had a firm grip on his Achillesâ heel, which was Liu Ying. Therefore, he could only put up with it. He glanced out of the window. Fu Xiuyi treated him extremely well. He was provided a spacious room and there were no spies planted by Fu Xiuyi around him. Pei Lang took a piece of paper from the table, picked up a pen, and started writing.
The night was as dark as ink. In Prince Ruiâs mansion, Xie Jingxing was playing with the white tiger under his feet. The white tiger had been eating a lot recently. After being fed by Ji Yushu five times a day, its body began to expand rapidly, like a ball of fur. It was not as agile as before and looked a little stupid.
A man who looked like a guard walked in from outside. He was much younger than Tie Yi. He took out a letter and handed it to Xie Jingxing. âThis is a letter from Prince Dingâs aide, Pei Lang. Itâs to be sent to Fifth Miss Shen of the Shen family.â
Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows and took the letter. He quickly glanced at it. When his eyes landed on the last line, he suddenly smiled. In the night, his face was as handsome as a painting, and his purple and gold robe was flowing with light. His smile was casual and faint, but Nan Qi shivered slightly. He was sensitive enough to sense that his master was in a bad mood again.
The last line said, âYou have to stay away from Prince Rui.â
