607 You Have to Stay Away From Prince Rui (6)

Fu Xiuyi smiled and looked at Pei Lang. “Sir, you think Shen Miao can’t do this alone, and Shen Xin is not an impulsive person and will not kill people rashly, right?”

Pei Lang was enlightened. “So you think…”

“That’s right.” Fu Xiuyi said, “I suspect that Prince Rui is behind this.”

Pei Lang stopped talking. Seeing that Pei Lang was silent, Fu Xiuyi took the initiative to mention it. He said, “Prince Rui is arrogant and the Daliang Dynasty has many talents. I think with Prince Rui’s 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 won’t cause trouble for himself for no reason. However, if it’s because of Shen Miao, everything makes sense.” He smiled faintly. “It’s not rare for men to take great risks just to win the heart of a beauty, but I don’t think Prince Rui is one of them. There must be a special relationship between him and Shen Miao.”

“So you wanted to get Huangfu Hao to make a move to pull the mastermind out from behind the scene?” Pei Lang asked.

“That’s right.” Fu Xiuyi smiled and said, “Huangfu Hao is paranoid by nature. Even if he doesn’t 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.”

Pei Lang asked, “Then what if Prince Rui doesn’t make a move?”

“It’s fine if he doesn’t.” Fu Xiuyi said, “Letting Huangfu Hao deal with the Shen family is also a good thing for us.”

“Your Highness, are you determined to get rid of the Shen family?” Pei Lang looked at him.

“If I can’t use them, I won’t keep them either.” Fu Xiuyi smiled gently, but his tone was very cold. He turned to look at Pei Lang and said, “I’ll need your advice in the future.”

Pei Lang nodded.

After Fu Xiuyi left, Pei Lang returned to his room. He looked at the candle in front of him and couldn’t 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 didn’t 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 Miao’s 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 Xiuyi’s hands, and Fu Xiuyi would eventually ascend the throne.

However, of all the people, Shen Miao chose to go against Fu Xiuyi. It wasn’t that Pei Lang had never thought of changing sides, but Shen Miao had a firm grip on his Achilles’ 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 Rui’s 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. “This is a letter from Prince Ding’s aide, Pei Lang. It’s to be sent to Fifth Miss Shen of the Shen family.”

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, “You have to stay away from Prince Rui.”
