After leaving the Zhan Mansion, Shi Fuxin's heart was still heavy.
The emperor knew what was going on with Meiren Zeng's premature birth and the death of the little prince, and even used this to set up a plan. According to the elder brother's words, her brother was a part of the emperor's plan.
In this case, her brother is no longer something they can save.
Shi Fuxin frowned. This was the supremacy of imperial power. Her brother had become a pawn in the game between the emperor and the harem. She had no control over her body and fate, and her destiny and future were entirely determined by the whims of others.
It's a terrible feeling that you can't decide your own destiny.
Last time, her sister had to participate in the talent show. This time, her brother was involved in a harem fight. What will happen next time?
She is not afraid of fighting. As long as she has the gaming capital, she has a chance to win.
But what she fears is that the imperial power is supreme, and they will directly decide the outcome without giving you a chance to play the game.
"Shi Fuxin, why are you here?"
A luxurious carriage stopped in front of Shi Fuxin.
Shi Fuxin looked up and saw Wei Yinghua sitting in the carriage.
Wei Yinghua didn't get out of the car and looked at Shi Fuxin with a condescending smile: "You don't look good, but what happened?"
This statement is a bit false. Shi Dingxuan caused Zeng Meiren to give birth prematurely, causing the little prince to die right after birth. People who were a little better informed knew about this, and Wei Yinghua could not have not heard about it.
Looking at Wei Yinghua who looked concerned but actually gloating about her misfortune, Shi Fuxin was bored and didn't want to pay attention to her, but then a thought flashed through her mind and she suddenly smiled brightly: "I'm fine."
Seeing the smile on Shi Fuxin's face, Wei Yinghua frowned.
In fact, Shi Fuxin didn't catch her eye, even though she had good business talent and her business was booming with her beautiful smile.
But in this capital city, whether a person can be valued highly depends not only on his personal ability, but also on his family background.
The Wuchang Prefecture has been defeated. Even if one or two promising juniors emerge, they will not be able to get up for a while.
Without family support, no matter how powerful Shi Fuxin is, she is just a paper tiger.
Take Hongyanxiao as an example. If it hadn't been for the support of the National Women's Prison, it would have changed hands long ago, and it would be the Shi family's turn to benefit.
Such a person who is unsteady on his feet is more confident than noble ladies like them, and looks like he has the pearls of wisdom in his hand, which is really uncomfortable.
Suppressing the displeasure in her heart, Wei Yinghua smiled and said: "You and I are classmates. If anything happens, just let me know and I will help you if I can."
A dimple appeared at the corner of Shi Fuxin's mouth: "I can see you here, you have already helped me a lot."
Wei Yinghua paused and looked puzzled: "How do you start talking about this?"
Shi Fuxin smiled: "My aimless shopping was really boring, but when I met you, my shopping this time was not in vain."
Wei Yinghua seemed to understand this answer: "Since you are fine, I will leave first."
Watching the Wei family's carriage drive away, Shi Fuxin's eyes sparkled.
In this era, imperial power was indeed supreme, but it did not mean that imperial power was invincible.
As long as the power is strong enough, like the Wei family, even the emperor has to sacrifice a prince to compete with the Wei family.
There were so many imperial guards, and aside from the emperor's so-called respect for her brother, it was probably because their family had the least background and didn't have to worry too much. Even if the game failed in the end, there would be no pressure to take the blame.
After figuring this out, Shi Fuxin felt much more relaxed. They had only returned to Beijing for too short a time and had not accumulated enough chips to be in trouble today.
She had to think carefully about how to quickly increase her chips. Not only her, but their family also had to think carefully.
Immediately, Shi Fuxin returned to the residence. As soon as she entered Changle East Street, she saw a circle of people outside the gate of the residence, all pointing at the residence.
"What happened?"
After entering the uncle's house, Shi Fuxin asked the concierge.
The concierge had a grimace on his face: "Just now, Zeng's family came over and made a big fuss, saying that the Fifth Master killed the young prince and must pay for his life."
Shi Fuxin nodded, said nothing, and quickly returned to Yiguiyuan.
Shi Fuyin and Shi Dinghao have returned.
"Brother Zhao said that he would advise the emperor."
Shi Fuxin told her family what Zhan Fei told her: "With my brother's skills, it is impossible to avoid the pregnant Zeng Meiren. It must be the emperor who ordered me."
Jin Yue'e quickly said: "Wu Lang is helping the emperor, so nothing will happen to him, right?"
Shi Fuxin nodded: "It should be."
The family was relieved to learn that Shi Dingxuan's life was not in danger.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes, because the Zeng family spread the word, and more and more people knew that Shi Dingxuan had caused the premature birth of Zeng Meiren, and the little prince died in infancy.
When there were more people, there were more voices. In the end, it sounded as if Shi Dingxuan didn't save the little prince's life, and the emperor was not worthy of being a father.
This puts the emperor on a high platform!
Now, Shi Dingxuan's situation became a bit dangerous.
What made Shi Fuxin's family even more distressed was that when Shi Dinghao entered the palace, he was stopped outside the palace, saying that he didn't have to enter the palace for work recently.
After Shi Fuxin found out, she took Shi Dinghao to Jiang'an Hou Mansion again.
When Cai Xiaohou saw the two siblings, he felt a little uncomfortable: "I'm sorry, I can't help you with your brother's matter."
Shi Fuxin came here this time not to ask Mr. Cai Xiaohou to save people. She just asked: "Master Cai, is everything okay in the palace now?"
Mr. Cai Xiaohou was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Shi Fuxin: "A little prince died. Did nothing happen in the palace?"
Hearing this question, Mr. Cai Xiaohou looked at Shi Fuxin with raised eyebrows: "Why do you think something will happen in the palace?"
Shi Fuxin didn't reply, so she gave him a salute: "Please tell me the truth, little Marquis."
Mr. Cai Xiaohou was silent for a moment and then said: "With the Queen Mother taking care of the harem, nothing will happen. However, because your brother complained about injustice, the Emperor has ordered the clan government to thoroughly investigate the death of the little prince, but there has been no progress yet.
"
Shi Fuxin gave her a blessing again: "Thank you very much. I won't disturb the little Marquis anymore. I'll take my leave."
Watching the two siblings leave, Mr. Cai Xiaohou sighed. The emperor wanted to use the little prince's matter to suppress the queen mother and empress, but the Wei family was not a vegetarian, and as soon as they noticed it, they directly instigated the Zeng family to make a fuss.
Now that the death of the little prince has made a big fuss, and the emperor has been framed, many things have to change.
Thinking of Shi Dingxuan who might be sacrificed, Mr. Cai Xiaohou quickly went to the back house. All he could do now was to beg his mother to take more care of the Shi family members at banquets in the future.
"Sister, what should we do now?"
Shi Dinghao gritted his teeth: "If the emperor really wants me to save the little prince's life, we will rob the execution ground."
Shi Fuxin shook her head: "We haven't reached that point yet."
Cai Xiaohouye's ambiguous attitude shows that the outcome of the game between the Emperor and the Queen Mother has not yet been decided.
Winning or losing is not determined, but there is an opportunity to operate.
Shi Dinghao frowned: "Then what can we do now?"
Shi Fuxin: "What we have to do now is not to let the emperor think that I am a disposable pawn!"
Shi Dinghao quickly asked: "What should we do?"
Shi Fuxin: "Go back to your uncle's house and ask your grandparents to save him. No matter what the people in the house do, you and your sister will go together to visit all the people we have good relations with. Remember, we are all, and we must let outsiders do it."
Everyone knows that we are looking for solutions everywhere.”
Shi Dinghao: "What about you?"
Shi Fuxin narrowed her eyes: "I'm going to muddy the waters in the palace. Since it's a fight in the harem, let's let the fight come to the surface and involve an innocent brother!"
