It had been more than a month since Shen Miao left the Ding capital.
One did not know where Prince Rui's wedding procession had gone to as one would not be able to catch up. In this one month, the Ding capital's discussions about the Ten Li of Red Wedding did not stop. The storyteller in the restaurant talked about the grand occasion of Prince Rui's Consort marriage and it was still filled with guests. The storyteller shook his head as he spoke and the guests felt the same when they heard it.
After all, not everyone could afford to spend such a grand sum of money.
After Shen Miao turned into Prince Rui's Consort and followed Prince Rui to marry to the Great Liang, two things happened in the Ding capital.
The first thing was that the Feng Xian Pawnshop that had been open for many years in the Ding capital suddenly closed its doors. In one night, everyone from the shopkeeper to the assistants were all gone and the few shops and buildings of the Feng Xian Pawnshop were sold to others at low prices. It was heard that the Feng Xian Pawnshop's shopkeeper's family had an urgent matter and needed money so he suddenly left. This inevitably made one sigh. Even though the Feng Xian Pawnshop's business was very precious and those who came to pawn or buy things were all wealthy and ordinary people would not be able to afford it, but after all they had been here for so many years and to suddenly leave, one was not used to it.
It was also after the change of ownership that the commoners then discovered that after so many years, no one had seen what the Feng Xian Pawnshop's shopkeeper looked like.
The second thing was that the Formidable Great General Shen Xin was promoted after his own Di daughter married. He was promoted to become a Military Judge. He was in charge of the entire imperial court's Imperial Army.
On the surface it was a promotion but in fact it was not so. First of all, the Military Judge only had the power to transfer but not the power to train the troops. It was just an empty empty position and even though the salary was more generous than the General, who would use salary to live? Moreover Shen Xin had always trained the Shen family's army and the Shen family's army was his personal soldiers. Suddenly it was changed to the Imperial Army and the Imperial Army was Emperor Wen Hui's people. Could Shen Xin really mobilize them? Most likely not.
Thus those with eyes and brains would know that Emperor Wen Hui was guarding against Shen Xin. Shen Miao married to the Great Liang and Shen Xin had the temperament of doting on his Di daughter. Now that the relationship between the Great Liang and the Ming Qi was so subtle, if Shen Xin were to favour his daughter and secretly rely on the Great Liang, it would be bad if he did something bad to the Ming Qi.
Even though Shen Xin had been a Great General in Ming Qi for so many years and his loyalty could be proven by the Heaven and Earth, but since ancient times the Emperor was suspicious. Who asked him to be a subject and others to be the monarch? He could only blame his bad luck.
The people in court could see it clearly but the common people felt injustice for Shen Xin. This Imperial family was really too heartless. It was obviously a marriage bestowed by Emperor Wen Hui but now because of this marriage, Shen Xin had to bear the responsibility for no reason, which really made one angry.
Emperor Wen Hui did not care about these matters as he was currently trying his best to please the Qin country's Emperor. He did not know why but the Great Liang made him feel uneasy, as if it was a potential danger. At least he had to join hands with the Qin country otherwise he would not be able to have peace every day.
The residence of Prince Ding was also not very happy recently.
Fu Xiu Yi said with a gloomy expression, "It has been a month and there is still no news of Pei Lang's whereabouts. Could it be that he can fly? If he is alive I want to see him, if he is dead I want to see his corpse. If he is still not found, then all of you do not need to come back. "
The spies below complied and Fu Xiu Yi waved his hands in annoyance, "Get lost!"
The few of them retreated in fear.
He sat down on the chair and pressed his forehead with an unhappy expression.
The people who rescued Pei Lang burned down his dungeon. Previously he did not feel it but these days it was inconvenient for Fu Xiu Yi to do anything. There were many people in the dungeon who had other uses for him but they were all burned cleanly by those people. One could imagine the anger in Fu Xiu Yi's heart.
The thing that made him most angry was that there was no trace of Pei Lang's whereabouts at all. Fu Xiu Yi thought that he had good eyes and ears in the Ding capital but to be unable to find a person's whereabouts, it could only mean that the other party's methods were better than his. It was not a happy matter to have such an opponent.
