But if he did not say it, the matter was of great importance. If Xie Jing Xing were to find out about it, he would have made a big mistake and he would not need to be a secret guard anymore. Perhaps he would even lose his life.
Between loyalty and his life, Tie Yi very decisively chose the latter.
He said, "Su family's Su Ming Feng, Luo family's Luo Ling and the eldest son of the Feng family, Feng Zi Xian, have all visited the Shen mansion."
"Feng Zi Xian?" The youth turned and stared at Tie Yi's eyes, "Why did Feng Zi Xian visit?"
Tie Yi's back turned cold and braced himself to say, "Because Shen Xin is anxious to marry off Fifth Shen Young Lady as there is news from the Palace that the Crown Prince has the intention to marry Fifth Shen Young Lady as a Secondary Consort. The Shen family do not wish for Fifth Shen Young Lady to marry into the Eastern Palace and wanted to marry Fifth Shen Young Lady off before the Imperial edict comes down. The Feng family's Young Lady and Fifth Shen Young Lady are good friends and specially looked for Older Brother to come over to solve the problem … "
"When did the news spread from the Palace?" Xie Jing Xing slowly asked but his voice seemed to be coated with a layer of ice.
Tie Yi did not dare to look at Xie Jing Xing's eyes and his head was almost on the ground as he said, "Five days ago."
"The news from five days ago only arrived now?" Xie Jing Xing did not get angry but laughed instead. There seemed to be anger in his beautiful peach blossom eyes as he said, "This Prince do not know when did one raise a group of trash."
The air in the room suddenly turned cold and seemed to be colder than outside. Even with the warm charcoal fire, the pigeon on the table made a 'gu' sound and retracted its head back into its feathers.
Tie Yi wanted to cry but had no tears but he still had to finish the words that he did not say, "Today the Palace sent a message to the Shen family. Tomorrow Fifth Shen Young Lady will enter the Palace alone as the Empress has something to discuss with her."
Before the words were finished, one saw that purple clad youth's figure flashed and was already at the door. He casually pulled the fox fur coat that was hanging and said coldly, "Prepare the horse."
Tie Yi was startled, "Master, is it not tomorrow morning …"
Xie Jing Xing coldly swept a glance at him. Tie Yi shivered and did not dare to say anything else.
This night, the wind and snow intertwined and the cold air penetrated the bones. Some people tossed and turned on the warm bed and were unable to sleep, while some people were in the magnificent residence discussing murderous plots. Some people naturally lived in the Imperial Palace and there were also some people who rode their precious horses thousands of miles away.
Some rejoice, some grieve, some worry, some triumph. The vast rivers and mountains of Ming Qi were picturesque and the Ding capital was filled with songs and dances to celebrate peace. At the end of the year, there were cheers and laughter everywhere but no one could see the turbulence under the calm lake.
In one of the rooms in Prince Ding's residence, there was someone playing chess with himself.
The man was dressed in a green robe. The chessboard on the table was in a mess. The white characters and black pieces were intertwined on the board. It looked extremely complicated. With every step he took, he had to think for a long time. It was as if he had reached a bottleneck, but he just couldn't bring himself to play the black piece in his hand.
The flame of the lamp swayed slightly and was almost extinguished. He got up and refilled the lamp oil, and the room became bright again. This man's eyes were bright and clear, and he had the air of a modest gentleman. It was as if he was proud and unyielding in his heart. However, there was sadness in his eyes that could not be dispersed.
This person was Pei Lang.
Pei Lang looked at the snowy night outside the window and sighed deeply.
Fu Xiu Yi's move in chess was indeed not bad. Shifting the trouble to the East, no matter if it was a success or failure, it had nothing to do with Fu Xiu Yi. No matter what the result was, whether it was the Crown Prince being unlucky, Prince Zhou or Prince Li being unlucky or the Shen family being unlucky, it was a good thing for Fu Xiu Yi.
In this kind of chess game, Shen Miao had almost no other path to take. Even if there was, it would be the last resort. With this game, Fu Xiu Yi would definitely win and not lose.
Pei Lang was somewhat worried for Shen Miao.
He also did not know why he was worried for Shen Miao. If Shen Miao died, then he would be able to follow Fu Xiu Yi. Fu Xiu Yi was very reliant on him and if he did not see wrongly, this person had the talent to become an Emperor. In the future, his chickens and dogs would ascend to Heaven and he would be able to enjoy endless riches and glory. He would also be able to better protect Liu Ying in secret.
But he was still not willing for Shen Miao to lose.
These days Fu Xiu Yi suspected that there was a traitor in the residence and doubled the guards in Prince Ding's residence. Even a fly would not be able to fly in, not to mention the news out. He had no way to communicate with Shen Miao through letters and could only be anxious in the dark.
Hearing that Shen Miao was going to make a trip to the Palace alone tomorrow, it just so happened that he was also going to the Palace tomorrow. Even though he was Fu Xiu Yi's aide, he was also a small official.
Shen Miao had no way out and at the end of the road, would there be any other way out?
After a moment, Pei Lang looked at the chess game in front of him. It was already a dilemma and there was no need to continue playing. One of his hands was placed on the corner of the table and suddenly flipped it.
With just a light flip, the entire board of chess pieces instantly fell to the ground, big and small, making a crisp sound.
The ground was a mess.
Nothing could be seen from the original situation.
