Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage

186-187

If one said that Xie Jing Xing had anticipated everything that happened in the future, then the decision to go for the expedition two years ago was not a rash action. Just like what he told Su Ming Feng, it was the only way to protect the residence of the Marquis of Lin An.

However all these were Shen Miao's thoughts and no one would know what the truth was. As she was thinking about it, she felt that it was better to find an opportunity to ask Xie Jing Xing about it. In the past life she did not delve deep into it but in this lifetime, she was just too curious about it.

On this night, Shen Miao kept on thinking carefully over it, Su Ming Feng endured the suffering and naturally there were still others that had no mood to sleep.

In the residence of Prince Ding, it was brightly lit the entire night.

Fu Xiu Yi sat on the highest position and looked at the subordinate that came to report before slowly asking, "Su Ming Feng went to the residence of Prince Rui?"

The subordinate said, "Exactly so. After exiting, the heir of the Count of Ping Nan seemed to have suffered an provocation and had a preoccupied appearance."

Fu Xiu Yi waved his hands and the subordinate withdraw. The aide by his side came up to ask, "For the heir of the Count of Ping Nan to go to the residence of Prince Rui in the middle of the night, could it be that there are some secret relations with Prince Rui?"

"The residence of the Count of Ping Nan is no longer in the officialdom circle so even if Prince Rui wanted to find someone to cooperate with, he would not look for him." Fu Xiu Yi's gaze turned cold, "The Su family was originally a very good chess piece and if it was not at Su Ming Feng who suddenly became seriously ill and the Su family gradually withdrew from officialdom, one would not be at this step. However..." He continued, "It is really fortunate for the Su family to escape from misfortune."

The aide said, "Speaking of which, initially when the heir of the Count of Ping Nan was sick, it was really very strange. Because the heir of the Count of Ping Nan was sick, the Count resigned from his post and guradually retired that there was almost no news from them in Ding capital."

Fu Xiu Yi laughed, "Could it be that you really thought that Su Ming Feng was really sick?"

"May your Highness enlighten this one."

"Su Ming Feng and Xie Jing Xing, of the residence of the Marquis of Lin An, are best friends." Fu Xiu Yi said, "It is indeed strange that the Su family would suddenly withdraw from officialdom. Especially Su Ming Feng, at that time it was when he was flourishing but suddenly he got seriously sick and no longer strove and directly resigned. It was said that he would not live past a few years but see, two years had pass and Su Ming Feng is living well in the residence of the Count of Ping Nan. This is obviously that he had wisent up for the sake of personal survival and quickly retreated like rapids. Naturally there was someone who reminded them. The residence of the Count of Ping Nan and the residence of the Marquis of Lin An always had good relations. Other than having one's good friend reminding, other people would most likely be unwilling to meddle with other's business."

"But..." The aide unconvincing asked, "There is still the Marquis of Lin An, Xie Ding, in the residence of the Marquis of Lin An, so why the one that warned them is Xie Jing Xing and not Xie Ding?"

"It is difficult for Xie Ding to save himself." Fu Xiu Yi took a sip of tea. "Xie Ding is proud and arrogant and would often be impudent in front of Imperial Father due to the military power he held. Imperial Father had long had the intention to remove it. If Xie Ding was a little smarter, he would have exercised restraint but take a look, has he ever exercise restraint in Ding capital? It is Xie Jing Xing that one cannot underestimate." Fu Xiu Yi said as he squinted his eyes.
