Phi-Fic Chapter 266 He Shu's True Identity
Chapter 266 He Shu's True Identity
Half an hour later, two figures, one black and one white, lay directly on the thick white snow, gasping for breath.
Xizhu's mouth was bleeding, and his eyes were bruised. Nanqi, on the other hand, had no injuries, though he appeared breathless. It seemed the outcome of this battle was already clear.
"You kid, you're pretty good. You've improved a lot after not seeing you for a few years!" He had never been able to beat him before!
"Stop talking nonsense! I just want to ask you, what should we do now?" Nanqi was very angry.
As for the true identity of that woman, it really made him feel like he was holding a hot potato in his hand, unable to hold it, nor to throw it away.
Xizhu rubbed his bruised eyes and said, "What can I do? Just tell the truth!" It's not me who said it anyway.
"Tell the truth?" Nan Qi jumped up. "Don't you know how much the master hates that incident and how much he hates that woman? Now you tell him that He Shu is that woman. Are you sure the master won't go crazy?"
Xi Zhu was silent. Of course he knew! Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of escaping the first time he saw the letter.
However, he thought of Xiao Yi'er, "Don't you think that the prince's kindness to Xiao Yi'er is a little unreasonable?"
Blood ties can make the prince inexplicably fond of Yi'er without knowing it, which shows that this magical relationship is very tenacious! Maybe it can withstand the prince's "storm"!
Nanqi's eyes lit up, "You mean, let Yi'er come and calm the prince down?"
Xi Zhu nodded. "He Shu's identity has been verified, which means Yi'er is the prince's biological daughter, our little princess! Given how much the prince loves her, for the sake of the little princess, perhaps the prince can accept this reality?"
At the end of the story, Xizhu felt a little unconfident.
"Really?" Nanqi couldn't believe it at all.
"But not today."
Nanqi was puzzled, "Why?"
Why not today? Did they know about this but didn't tell anyone? If their master found out, they'd be utterly devastated!
"You forgot, there is a peace meeting with Beidi tonight, and Beidi specifically asked He Shu to attend!
If you expose this matter today, and the prince gets furious and kills that woman, the peace talks between the two countries will collapse!"
Cut...
No way? The master wouldn't be able to do it, right?
That's the master's savior! And Yi'er's mother. The master shouldn't do such a thing...
But when he thought of his master's furious expression after being plotted against, he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. That was the first time he saw his master's emotions fluctuate so greatly!
Not to mention the master, even he felt so disgusted when he saw that woman that he almost vomited out everything he had eaten the day before!
That's much more disgusting than eating flies...
"He Shu, Shu He..."
Oh my god! How could these two people be the same person?!
The west courtyard of Zhen Mansion.
Baili Moyan angrily threw all the teacups on the table. The clanging sound of porcelain shattering made Rong Xia's face darken.
"The Emperor actually asked him to preside over the peace talks!"
"If the peace talks are successful, wouldn't he be able to return to Kyoto in grand style, welcomed by the people and officials?"
"What exactly does Father mean by doing this? Since he asked the Seventh Prince to preside over the peace talks, why did he ask me to come? Just to serve as a foil?"
Rong Xia's face darkened as he stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, didn't the Emperor ask you to secretly investigate the affairs of the three great quarters?"
Baili Moyan snorted coldly, "Why bother investigating? Father knows it all! He only asked me to investigate to appease me!"
If he really wanted to deal with the person behind the incident of the three major workshops, Baili Moqing should have been dead by now!
Rong Xia's expression was calm, his handsome features revealing no emotion. "Then your Majesty must have a deeper meaning."
Baili Moyan heard something intriguing and asked, "What do you mean?"
Could it be that Rong Xia has already guessed her father's true intention?
Rong Xia lowered his head, his grey gown was both reserved and low-key, just like him.
"The families involved in the three major districts were all close associates and relatives of the prince. I believe the amount of their corruption has already been reported to His Majesty by Prince Li."
"Although I don't know the exact amount, judging by your Majesty's furious attitude, I imagine it's quite a lot."
"Rong Xia, what do you want to say?" Baili Moyan looked unhappy. How much money did Baili Moyan earn? Should he be told?
"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about why, when those families encountered trouble, His Majesty did not vent his anger on you at all, but instead tried to appease you?"
"for……"
Baili Moyan's questioning stopped abruptly, and two words flashed through his mind - "warning".
It turned out that his father was not comforting him, but warning him!
His father had deliberately sent him to Beisha City, making him believe he was still in absolute dominance. He had let him act arrogantly and presumptuously in front of Old Seven, believing that his father still valued him! But in reality, his father had already given the leadership of the peace talks to Old Seven! So, in this situation, Old Seven was the leader, and he was just a supporting role!
So this is ah!
Everyone could see that the emperor was disappointed and dissatisfied with him, but he was the only one who was still complacent, thinking that he was deeply loved!
This slap on the face really hurts!
Rong Xia saw the colorful expression on his face and knew that he had understood her hint.
"Your Highness, this peace negotiation must not succeed! Otherwise, the one who returns to the capital victorious will be King Dongli! And all your efforts over the years will be in vain..."
At this time, Guan He walked in from outside the door, "Your Highness, Miss Zhu requests to see you."
Baili Moyan was feeling irritated. When he thought of how miserable she looked yesterday, he felt sick!
"not see!"
Zhu Zifeng was standing outside the door, hearing his voice full of disgust and contempt, and he couldn't hide the bitterness in his heart.
After so many years of love, it turns out that I can abandon it at any time...
But it doesn’t matter. Tonight, she will take back yesterday’s humiliation a hundredfold!
"Your Highness, Zifeng has something important to report. It's about the matter between Prince Dongli and Doctor He!"
Baili Moyan didn't want to listen at all, but Rong Xia heard something unusual and advised, "Your Highness, perhaps Miss Zhu's news can be helpful to us. It wouldn't hurt to listen to it."
Baili Moyan met his gaze and finally agreed to Zhu Zifeng's request to meet him.
When he saw Zhu Zifeng kneeling in front of him again, with his figure as thin as a willow, Baili Moyan no longer felt the same pity and excitement in his heart as before.
Zhu Zifeng raised her head, her eyes full of affection, and looked at the man opposite her pitifully.
The rash on her face had completely disappeared, and she had regained her former beauty. Unfortunately, there was no trace of emotion in Baili Moyan's eyes now.
"Miss Zhu, you have come to see me specially. What is it that you want to report? I am very busy. If you have something to say, please speak quickly!"
Baili Moyan's impatient tone and ruthless attitude made Zhu Zifeng's hatred surge again.
She suppressed her emotions and said, "Your Highness, Zifeng has discovered the true identity of He Shu. This identity is enough to turn the two of them into enemies!"
"Oh? Her current identity is fake?" Baili Moyan's expression changed slightly, and a hint of interest appeared in his eyes. "Why do you say that?"
"Her original name wasn't He Shu, but Shu He, the legitimate daughter of Shu Kelin, a fourth-rank military commander in Kyoto!"
There was a flame of revenge dancing in Zhu Zifeng's eyes, and beneath the flame, there was a hint of madness.
