Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage

194-195

The spies that were below complied and Fu Xiu Yi waved his hand in annoyance, "Get out."

The few people withdrew out.

He sat back down and pressed his forehead with a somewhat unhappy expression.

The people who rescued Pei Lang had burned down his underground prison and previously he did not think of it before but these days, it was not convenient for Fu Xiu Yi to do anything. Many of the people in the underground prison had other purposes for him but that fire had burned all of it cleanly. One could only imagine the annoyance in Fu Xiu Yi's heart.

What was most frustrating to him was that there was not a trace of clue to Pei Lang's whereabouts to this moment. Fu Xiu Yi had always thought that his ears were smart and eyes were clear in Ding capital but if one was unable to find the whereabouts of a person, it could only show that the other party's means were more brilliant than his own. With such an opponent, it was not something to be happy about.

Fu Xiu Yi had always suspected that the person behind Pei Lang was the Shen family but after investigating, all the Shen family's doubts were ruled out. But if it was not the Shen family then who would it be?

"Your Highness, there are no sightings of Pei Lang in the Ding capital at all. Could it be that Pei Lang had already left the city?" The adviser said to Fu Xiu Yi as a reminder.

"Not possible." Fu Xiu Yi said, "There are my people in the city gates guarding and these days there were portraits of people who left the city so it was just impossible for Pei Lang to get through safely."

When the advisor heard it, he frowned and did not know what else to say.

"However some people do not need portraits." Fu Xiu Yi suddenly said, "When Prince Rui married a consort and left the city, the guards and solders of the residence of Prince Rui left the city, there was no one that stopped them."

The advisor's eyes brighten, "Could it be that Pei Lang had mingled into Prince Rui's entourage and had gotten out together with them?"

Fu Xiu Yi laughed coldly, "The residence of Prince Rui is so arrogant so how would one be able to mingle into it? Moreover Pei Lang do not have any relation with Prince Rui so on what basis." He suddenly stopped his words, "Relation."

At this moment, Fu Xiu Yi suddenly thought about a matter. All these time he had regarded Pei Lang as the 'Shen family's' people and the one who made the decision in the 'Shen family' was Shen Xin but he had neglected one point. Actually looking from many matters, be it intentionally or unintentionally hindering his great cause, they all were related to Shen Miao.

If the 'Shen family' and 'Shen Miao' were viewed separately then Pei Lang was not loyal to the 'Shen family' but to 'Shen Miao' then everything would make sense.

Pei Lang was Shen Miao's people and Shen Miao was now Rui WangFei and those little previous unclear relations with Prince Rui, Prince Rui would help to save Pei Lang, based on the consideration of Shen Miao.

Then Pei Lang would have relations with Prince Rui.

Fu Xiu Yi stood up abruptly and the more he thought about it the more he felt that there was this possibility. In the entire Ding capital, to have the ability to set fire to the residence of Prince Ding's underground prison and could still escape successfully and not leave any clue, there was only this mysterious Prince Rui that could do so.

"Damn it." Fu Xiu Yi slammed his hand on the table. He had always wanted to know what secrets was Prince Rui hiding but on the night before Shen Miao married, all the spies that he had sent out did not returned and it was likely that they were discovered and eliminated. If not he would have known Prince Rui's deeply hidden secret.
