In the end, Fu Siye did not punish Fu Jingchao because the old injury had not healed and he had been soaked in the water for so long. Fu Jingchao started to have a fever that night.
As soon as Fu Siye returned to the place where they stayed, he disappeared and said that he had gone to interrogate the prince himself.
After taking a hot bath, Shen Xingwan looked at Fat Meow while eating and sighed, "How on earth am I going to change their ending..."
Although the original text surrounding Su Jingyi did not specify the reasons for the decline of the Fu family, now that Shen Xingwan is in the game, he can already feel the tension between the royal family and the Zhennan Palace.
The fat cat nibbled on a chicken leg, "Meow, you can do it, come on!"
The explosive news of the prince's disappearance dealt another blow to Jiangnan, which was already unstable during this period.
Master Zhou and Lu Chuan, the censor of the Salt Patrol, were both crazy with anxiety. If something happened to the prince in Jiangnan, they would have to follow suit.
Soon Jiangnan was sealed off, and Mr. Zhou personally supervised the people in the government and yamen, going from house to house in the streets and alleys to find news about the prince.
Mo Beichen and his group had already made a detailed plan to kill the prince, but someone took advantage of them and had to shelve their plan.
"Not many people dare to scare the prince directly." Jiang Shiyilang's eyes were as bright as a fox's, "I heard that that one is here."
Qin Xuejian was dressed in layers of beautiful white clothes, and a strange color flashed in his cold eyes, "General Fu took action personally, and none of the ten princes are his opponents."
Mo Beichen turned his back to them, "Let's wait and see what happens."
Now that the One has come in person, he expects a miracle.
"Oh, they'd better pray that Fu Jingchao is okay, otherwise it will be difficult to end." Jiang Shiyilang said sarcastically.
It is said that an eldest brother is like a father. Moreover, the King of Zhennan guards the border all year round and is not allowed to return to the capital without being summoned.
Fu Siye is a full five years older than Fu Jingchao. Fu Jingchao can be said to have watched Fu Siye grow up little by little. The relationship between the brothers is extraordinary.
The prince dared to touch Fu Jingchao. He was simply jumping on Fu Siye's bottom line. He didn't know who gave him the courage!
At this moment, a white pigeon flew to the window where Mo Beichen was standing. Mo Beichen trembled and took off the small strip of cloth tied to the pigeon's leg.
After soaking it in a special potion, there were only four words on it, "Be well, don't think about it!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense nerves finally relaxed.
Shen Xingwan originally wanted to meet Mo Beichen Banxia and the others as soon as possible, but they must have been anxious.
But Fu Siye's people came to inform her that Fu Siye had something to discuss with her.
Shen Xingwan was inexplicably nervous, and until the next night, someone finally came to invite her to Fu Siye's temporary study room.
As soon as he entered, he saw Fu Jingchao sitting there honestly, and Shen Xingwan was no longer so anxious.
When Fu Siye saw her coming, he said to her very kindly, "My lady, please have a seat."
Shen Xingwan walked over and sat next to Fu Jingchao. They both sat with their hands on their knees and looked up at Fu Siye with obedient expressions.
Fu Siye felt his head hurt even more when he looked at their identical innocent faces and dazzling eyes.
After knowing that Fu Jingchao had an affair with a girl, he at least asked about some of Shen Xingwan's deeds.
Well, now looking at the two little foxes pretending to be good in front of him, Fu Siye had to admit that the two of them were a good match. They were both little ancestors who could toss around and act coquettishly the next.
Fu Siye sneered and said rudely, "If it's like this, how are you going to end it?"
Of course, the main question was to Fu Jingchao, and Shen Xingwan continued to pretend to be dead with a clear conscience.
Fu Jingchao gritted his teeth and said confidently, "Of course I want to beat the prince to death. I have sent away the account books and witnesses. I can't let him go like this."
"That's it?" Fu Siye continued, "What are you going to do if Concubine Lu and the Lu family protect the prince to death?"
"Fight to the end." Fu Jingchao said decisively, "We cannot let innocent people die in vain, and we cannot let the Lu family continue to grow."
In recent years, the nobles headed by the Lu family have caused many obstacles for the Zhennan Palace. At the most serious time, the Fu family used their own money to support the army and could not get any money or food from the court.
Fu Siye looked at Fu Jingchao with a flash in his eyes, "You are still too immature."
There were more sighs and distress in his heart. After he was taken to the border, Fu Jingchao was left alone in Kyoto.
He was only seven years old at that time. On the surface, he was a favored prince, but in fact he was a hostage to be killed. The emperor wanted to raise him to death.
If anything happens to King Zhennan, or if the emperor decides to attack the palace of Zhennan King, the first person to be pushed out to die must be Fu Jingchao.
But Fu Jingchao did not grow up to be a playboy. Although he was still young, when talking about him, most people would praise him by saying that a tiger father has no dog son.
When they met and parted two years ago, a young man who was not taller than him said to him, "Brother, I will not lose the reputation of Zhennan Palace. The younger brother of General God of War will not lose to anyone."
Over the years, he has grown up well and has been doing well.
Fu Siye looked fierce to him on the surface, but he was still happy in his heart.
Fu Siye's angular face looked very cold under the candlelight. He said coldly, "Fu Xiaochao, I will teach you this once in person. Just listen to me."
Fu Jingchao's eyes lit up in an instant, and he looked at Fu Siye attentively.
Shen Xingwan also became energetic. She was also curious about how this talented general who appeared in no more than three sentences in the original text from beginning to end, but died tragically, would handle this matter.
Fu Siye's voice spread slowly and calmly in the night.
"Now that we have come to this point, the prince must dismount without leaving any room."
"For a normal and healthy prince, the Lu family and Concubine Lu will definitely try their best to protect him with death, but what if it is a crippled prince who returns?"
Of course the reason for not killing the prince was because Fu Jingchao was not dead, and Fu Siye could not take the risk of confronting the royal family head-on.
It was really the emperor's fault that Fu Jingchao died, but he did not die, but he killed the prince. In turn, the emperor could not swallow this breath.
"If the prince is deposed and there is still a sixth prince, the Lu family business will not be destroyed." Shen Xingwan's eyes flashed and he said.
You must know that in the original work, Su Jingyi's official concubine was the sixth prince, and the one who finally came to power was also the sixth prince.
Fu Siye glanced at her appreciatively, "Destroy the prince. The Lu family will be angry to death, but they won't go crazy. Rather than fighting to the death with the Zhennan Palace, it is more important to support the sixth prince to ascend to power again."
The emperor has more than one son. Once the prince is deposed, there are many other princes who are ready to take action. It is not that simple for the sixth prince to ascend the throne.
This approach can be regarded as a compromise. After all, as long as the Zhennan Palace does not intend to rebel, it still cannot really break up with the emperor.
