Chapter 810 - 810 Identity (5)
810 Identity (5)
This emperor had always been wary of him, suppressed him, and controlled him. Shen Xin did not think much of it even if the emperor wanted to use him.
But why did he want to use his children?
Was this how all the emperors treated their loyal officials? Shen Xin thought that if Emperor Wen Hui strongly opposed Prince Rui’s request or stood up for Shen Miao, he would not be so angry with Emperor Wen Hui. It was precisely because Emperor Wen Hui agreed so readily and justified it as doing it for the people that Shen Xin felt uncomfortable.
If Ming Qi was stronger, would the emperor not have to bow down to a prince of the Daliang Dynasty?
Shen Xin suddenly felt a trace of disgust towards Emperor Wen Hui’s incompetence.
However, he did not realize that unknowingly, he hated Emperor Wen Hui far more than Prince Rui.
He naturally did not know that someone had already predicted his change of mind a long time ago.
Luo Xueyan was still muttering, “Why does Prince Rui suddenly want to marry Jiaojiao? The Daliang Dynasty doesn’t lack military power. Even if it’s to sow discord between us and Emperor Wen Hui, it doesn’t have to be like this.”
Shen Xin said, “I’ll go and ask around tomorrow. Let’s sleep first.”
However, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
…
Emperor Wen Hui announced the imperial edict in front of the entire court, so in just a day, almost everyone in the capital knew. Everyone, from the officials to the commoners, was talking about this.
The princess’s mansion was silent.
Princess Rong Xin sat at the head of the table and couldn’t help but sneer.
Her nephew’s ability far exceeded her expectations.
Xie Jingxing had clearly taken a liking to Shen Miao two years ago. Later, he became Prince Rui. Princess Rong Xin thought that as a prince of another country, no matter how much Xie Jingxing liked Shen Miao, it would be impossible for him to be with her in this life. She did not expect Xie Jingxing to have the ability to get what he wanted!
In the afternoon, after Princess Rong Xin found out about this, she went to the palace to see Emperor Wen Hui. She knew that Emperor Wen Hui would not let Shen Miao marry Prince Rui for no reason and insisted on knowing the reason. Emperor Wen Hui still respected his sister, so he told Princess Rong Xin the whole story.
Princess Rong Xin couldn’t describe what she was feeling, but she felt a chill run down her spine.
That mischievous young man, who always called her “Auntie Rong” with a smile, only existed in her memory. The current Xie Jingxing was filled with an unfamiliar aura. He could lay low for a few years to get what he wanted. His domineering attitude, sharp methods, and merciless threats… He was more like a ruler.
Princess Rong Xin was a little afraid.
She did not know if she should tell Emperor Wen Hui Xie Jingxing’s identity.
She knew that even if she told him, nothing would happen. Since Xie Jingxing dared to come, he must be fully prepared.
However, if she told him, at least the people of Ming Qi would know Xie Jingxing’s true colors and not think of him as a talent who died young.
Princess Rong Xin thought for a while, and the scene many years ago appeared in her mind. She did not go out all day and did not interact much with people. Even the maids were not allowed to enter her room at night. At that time, she was suffering from the pain of losing her husband. She caught a cold and could not get up from bed the next day. Xie Jingxing, who was only five years old, brought a bowl of porridge from the kitchen and fed her spoon by spoon. He even took a small stool to sit by her bed and read poetry to her.
