VENOMOUS EMPRESS REBORN

Chapter 770 - 770 Marrying You (1)



770 Marrying You (1)

Life seemed to be especially peaceful, but no one knew if there was something else lurking under the peace.

Over the past few days, everyone in Prince Ding’s mansion was on tenterhooks, especially the few trusted aides under Fu Xiuyi. They were even more careful when doing things. A few days ago, Pei Lang, who Fu Xiuyi valued the most, was arrested and locked up in a private prison. No one knew the actual reason, but some servants who knew one thing or two revealed that it was because Pei Lang was a spy planted by Fu Xiuyi’s opponent. 𝒷𝓮𝒹𝓃ℴ𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂

Before this, Pei Lang was commonly regarded as being the most talented among the aides. Although the others were jealous that Fu Xiuyi valued him, Pei Lang had indeed helped Fu Xiuyi solve many problems in the past two years. Fu Xiuyi arrested him just like that. The night before he was arrested, Pei Lang was still playing chess and drinking tea with Fu Xiuyi.

The fact that Fu Xiuyi made such a prompt decision could only mean that he had long been suspicious of Pei Lang. While he was suspicious of someone, he could still sit together and drink tea with that person. No matter whether Fu Xiuyi was making an example out of Pei Lang or not, when the aides faced Fu Xiuyi again, their attitude was much more respectful. Fu Xiuyi was not a simple person.

However, Fu Xiuyi did not have a good time these days. He was extremely puzzled.

Fu Xiuyi sent someone to keep an eye on Princess Rong Xin. In the end, he found out that Princess Rong Xin actually went to the Earl of Pingnan’s mansion to look for Su Mingfeng in disguise. Although he did not know what they said or what Princess Rong Xin was up to, Fu Xiuyi thought that there must be something fishy going on. Princess Rong Xin lived in seclusion and was not even very close to Emperor Wen Hui. Princess Yuqing and Princess Rong Xin were good friends in the early years. However, Princess Yuqing had been dead for many years. Princess Yuqing’s son, Xie Jingxing, was also close to Princess Rong Xin, but Xie Jingxing had already died on the battlefield in the northern border two years ago. The Earl of Pingnan did not have much of a relationship with Princess Rong Xin.

Fu Xiuyi racked his brains to think of a connection between Princess Rong Xin and the Earl of Pingnan. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he thought, he could not figure it out. Moreover, what puzzled Fu Xiuyi was why Princess Rong Xin did not look for the Earl of Pingnan, Su Yu, but Su Mingfeng instead. Su Mingfeng was no longer an official. Regarding official matters, Su Mingfeng could not help at all. Did Su Mingfeng know Princess Rong Xin in private? Su Mingfeng, Su Mingfeng… Just as Fu Xiuyi was thinking about this name, he suddenly realized something.

Su Mingfeng’s name was known by many people in the capital. It was not only because he was outstanding and talented, nor was it only because he had to quit his official career because of a serious illness, but It was because he had been Xie Jingxing’s childhood friend since he was young. People did not understand why such an upright young man would hang out with a cynical and mischievous boy like Xie Jingxing every day. However, the Marquis of Lin’an and the Earl of Pingnan were close friends, so it was not strange that the two younglings became friends.

As if he had found the end of the thread, Fu Xiuyi’s thoughts cleared up. Su Mingfeng was Xie Jingxing’s childhood friend, and Princess Rong Xin was Xie Jingxing’s aunt. If Princess Rong Xin went to look for Su Mingfeng in private, they would most likely talk about Xie Jingxing.

But wasn’t Xie Jingxing dead already? Why did Princess Ming An suddenly ask about a dead person? In the past, no one dared to mention a word about Xie Jingxing in front of Princess Ming An, afraid that she would recall the sad past. Princess Ming An taking the initiative to ask… Could it be that Xie Jingxing was not dead yet? Fu Xiuyi was shocked by this sudden guess, but he quickly shook his mind at this thought. He had personally read the secret report of Xie Jingxing’s death that day. There was no mistake. Moreover, it was impossible for him to fake his death under the eyes of so many people.
