811 Identity (6)
Any woman would be touched to see such a beautiful boy doing such a considerate thing.
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye. They were not mother and son, but they were more than mother and son. How did they end up like this?
On one side was the enemy of the country, and on the other side was decades of companionship. Princess Rong Xin suddenly felt sad.
What should she do?
Princess Rong Xin did not know that every move in the princess mansion had been monitored these days, and she was not alone. Because very few people visited the princess mansion, even the guards were slacking off.
In the Earl of Pingnan’s mansion, Su Minglang looked at the sugar-steamed cheese brought over by the maid and rejected righteously, “I don’t want to eat it. Give it to Brother.”
Now that Su Minglang had reached the age where he paid attention to his appearance, he was not willing to be a chubby boy. Therefore, although these sweet things tasted very good, he would not touch them.
Then, he suddenly thought of something and stopped the maid. “Forget it, don’t give it to my brother. If my brother gets too fat, Sister Shen will not like him.”
The maid looked at Su Minglang and was a little speechless. She held the plate and did not know what to do. Seeing this, Su Minglang sighed and said, “Since you’re in such a difficult position, I’ll reluctantly eat it to help you out.” He then warned the maid fiercely, “Don’t tell my mother that I stole Brother’s sugar-steamed cheese!”
The maid was speechless.
In the room, Su Mingfeng paced back and forth, looking very anxious.
Su Yu looked at him sympathetically and patted his shoulder. “Son, I know you’re sad, but this imperial edict was personally issued by His Majesty. There’s nothing I can do. I can only say that you’re not lucky. The girl you like is not fated with you. However, fortunately, if Miss Shen marries Prince Rui, she has to go to the Daliang Dynasty. Out of sight out of mind. In a few days, you’ll forget about her.”
Emperor Wen Hui issued an imperial edict. What Su Yu and Mrs. Su were most afraid of was that Su Mingfeng would not be able to withstand this blow. After hearing it, Su Mingfeng locked himself up in the study. Mrs. Su was afraid that Su Mingfeng would kill himself, so she specially asked Su Yu to go in and persuade him.
“Father, can you not cause trouble for me?” Su Mingfeng said impatiently, “I’m not sad because of this.”
“Son, I’m your father. Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking?” Su Yu said, “I’ve been through what you are going through. It’s nothing. There are plenty of fish in the sea. You have to be more open-minded.”
Su Mingfeng couldn’t take it anymore and said, “Alright, Father, I understand. I want to be alone now and won’t kill myself. Can you leave me alone for a while?”
Seeing that Su Mingfeng, who had always been gentle, was starting to look unhappy, Su Yu was afraid that if he continued, he would agitate Su Mingfeng again, so he smiled and said, “In short, I’ll try my best to find another girl who’s like a fair for you to be your wife. Don’t be sad!” With that, he left dejectedly.
After Su Yu left, Su Mingfeng sat down at the desk, feeling inexplicably frustrated.
Emperor Wen Hui suddenly issued an imperial edict to marry off Shen Miao. This surprised Su Mingfeng. After all, Shen Miao had just gotten involved with the crown prince a few days ago. Why was she pushed to Prince Rui suddenly?
Su Mingfeng did not have time to guess what Emperor Wen Hui was thinking. He was thinking about Shen Miao. Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing seemed to be very close two years ago. A few days ago, because of that tiger head bracelet, Su Mingfeng was certain that there was a special relationship between Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing. Su Mingfeng even suspected that Xie Jingxing was still alive.
If he wanted to find any information about Xie Jingxing, he had to start from Shen Miao.
But why did Shen Miao’s marriage with Prince Rui make him so uneasy? It felt as if something was about to happen.
This strange feeling made Su Mingfeng feel very abnormal today. Just as he was feeling uneasy, someone came back from outside. This was a spy sent by Su Mingfeng to spy on the princess’s mansion and the Shen family. Su Mingfeng felt that Princess Rong Xin might know something, let alone Shen Miao.
The spy bowed to Su Mingfeng and said, “Young Master, I found something about what you asked me to investigate a few days ago.”
Su Mingfeng was delighted. He immediately sat up straight and said, “Tell me!”
“I followed the guards of the princess’s mansion and realized that some of them have been monitoring the movements of Prince Rui’s mansion. If I’m not wrong, they should be instructed by Princess Rong Xin to do so.”
“Among the guards of the Shen family, some of them seem to be Prince Rui’s men. I don’t know if they’re spying or protecting Miss Shen.”
Su Mingfeng frowned. Why was it all related to Prince Rui? Princess Rong Xin was spying on Prince Rui, and Prince Rui was spying on Shen Miao.
However, what he was after was clues about Xie Jingxing’s whereabouts!
Could it be… a terrifying thought flashed across his mind.
Su Mingfeng’s heart palpitated.
