874 Concealment (3)

The tea spilled on the ground, and the guard and trusted aides were all shocked. Fu Xiuyi was a person who did not show his emotions. Although he would occasionally be angry, it was never to such an extent. It seemed to be the first time they had seen him lose his composure like this.

Fu Xiuyi slapped the letter hard on the guard’s face. The guard hurriedly took it and was stunned after reading.

In the letter, Princess Rong Xin mentioned something about Prince Rui. Everyone knew that back then, because Princess Rong Xin and Princess Yuqing were very close, she even took good care of Xie Jingxing, who was born to Princess Yuqing. She even fell out with the Marquis of Lin’an for Xie Jingxing. Two years ago, Xie Jingxing died on the battlefield, causing Princess Rong Xin to be in great grief.

Princess Rong Xin naturally knew Xie Jingxing well. In this letter, Princess Rong Xin suggested something sensational. She felt that Prince Rui and Xie Jingxing were very similar.

When people heard that Prince Rui looked similar to a person who had been dead for more than two years, they would most likely find it ridiculous. However, Fu Xiuyi had been paying attention to Princess Rong Xin for so long and had long discovered that Princess Rong Xin was unusual. Needless to say, Fu Xiuyi was almost certain that what Princess Rong Xin said was the truth.

There was no doubt that Prince Rui, who came from the Daliang Dynasty, was Xie Jingxing.

The guard almost lost his grip on the letter. Xie Jingxing was Prince Rui? What did that mean? It meant that Xie Jingxing had the entire Ming Qi wrapped around his finger and fooled everyone. If Xie Jingxing had already been in contact with the Daliang Dynasty when he was still the heir of the Marquis of Lin’an, then the Daliang Dynasty probably knew everything that happened in Ming Qi.

“Your, Your Highness…” The guard looked at Fu Xiuyi, a trace of fear flashing across his eyes.

Fu Xiuyi slowly calmed down, but on closer look, his hands seemed to be trembling.

“Since Xie Jingxing is not dead, what happened to the Xie army on the northern border must have been exposed…” he said slowly.

There were people from the royal family in the Xie army, and Xie Ding’s trusted aide had stabbed Xie Jingxing in the back. Since Xie Jingxing was not dead, he must have found out the scheme in advance. Then why was Xie Jingxing here to pay tribute to Ming Qi this time? Was he here to take revenge?

Fu Xiuyi held the table to stabilize his wobbling body.

The trusted aide was also extremely at a loss. He paused for a moment before saying, “Since the Princess has already sent this letter to the palace, His Majesty will take action after reading it.”

“It’s useless.” Fu Xiuyi interrupted him. “Xie Jingxing has already left the capital for more than a month. My father is afraid of the Daliang Dynasty and won’t go against them openly. If Xie Jingxing hasn’t left yet, we can expose him to cause an uproar among the people. Unfortunately, it’s too late now.”

The aide also sighed. “Why didn’t the Princess send this letter earlier? If we were informed earlier, we wouldn’t be so helpless.”

Fu Xiuyi glanced at him, as if he was unhappy with his aide’s stupidity. The aide panicked under his gaze and heard Fu Xiuyi say, “Idiot. Princess must have thought of a way to inform my father before. Perhaps she already did it the night before the wedding. However, in the end, the letter was intercepted by Xie Jingxing.”

Although he tried his best to hold back his anger, he could not hide the anger in his eyes. “Xie Jingxing… is hiding it too well!”

“Then the Shen family…” The aide asked.

“Continue to keep an eye on them.” Fu Xiuyi sneered. “I want to see if the Shen family knows anything about Xie Jingxing’s identity or if they’ve been pretending to be stupid for so many years.”

At this moment, no one in the Shen family knew that something like this had happened in Prince Ding’s mansion.
