Chapter 1018: Leaving (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the letter, Shen Qiu mentioned that Emperor Wen Hui was seriously ill, but for some reason, he made things difficult for Consort Xu, who was once his favorite. Not only that, but the entire Xu family also suffered the wrath of Emperor Wen Hui, causing Prince Zhou and Prince Jing to be implicated. These two brothers were no longer allowed to participate in the matters of the imperial court. Shen Qiu did not know the exact situation. In short, Consort Xu, Prince Jing, and Prince Zhou were all out of favor. Prince Zhou and Prince Zhou were at a disadvantage in the competition for the throne.

Prince Li’s faction was on good terms with Prince Ding for the first time.

Prince Li’s faction was also a powerful faction in the competition for the throne. Prince Ding, Fu Xiuyi, was never close to Prince Li, but now they were on good terms. What was even more suspicious was that Prince Li seemed to be following Prince Ding.

At this point, Shen Qiu’s handwriting was a little messy, showing his uneasiness.

In summary, among the princes in Ming Qi, the most popular one was the Ninth Prince, Fu Xiuyi, who used to have no desires for the throne. Fu Xiuyi’s mother, Consort Dong, also became Emperor Wen Hui’s most trusted person.

Some people guessed that at this rate, it was very likely that Emperor Wen Hui would pass the throne to Fu Xiuyi.

Therefore, a large group of officials sided with Fu Xiuyi. No matter how one looked at it, Fu Xiuyi would become the future crown prince of Ming Qi.

Fu Xiuyi gradually started to lay hands on the Shen family.

The Shen family’s military power had been taken back by Emperor Wen Hui, but Fu Xiuyi wanted to give Shen Xin new power and let Shen Xin and Shen Qiu lead a new army. Fu Xiuyi was obviously digging a trap for the Shen family to jump into. If they failed to do their job well, they would give Fu Xiuyi a justifiable reason to deal with them.

In the letter, Shen Qiu wrote that the Shen family rejected it with the excuse that Shen Xin was ill and could not lead an army for the time being. However, he did not know how long this excuse could last, because since Fu Xiuyi had made up his mind to deal with the Shen family, he would not give up easily. Fortunately, the Shen family was not alone. Fu Xiuyi was also targeting the Feng family. The Feng family and the Shen family planned to join forces to protect themselves.

Shen Miao finished reading the letter, folded it, and put it away, looking a little worried. Xie Jingxing had just read it with her. Seeing that she was worried, he asked, “Are you very worried?”

“Fu Xiuyi is starting to deal with the Shen family.” Shen Miao said in a low voice, “He’s rising too quickly. In less than a year, there’s actually no one in the capital who can compete with him. Prince Zhou and Prince Jing were so arrogant back then, but now, they were all out of the picture. Prince Li is actually following him.” Shen Miao said, “His methods are not to be underestimated.” Although she knew that Fu Xiuyi would eventually become the emperor of Ming Qi, the speed at which he eliminated his enemy still surprised Shen Miao.

“It’s not strange.” Xie Jingxing smiled. “In order to compete for the throne, he started preparing many years ago. Although Prince Zhou and Prince Jing had an advantage, they didn’t make good use of it.”

“But why does he still target the Shen family?” Shen Miao frowned. “Logically speaking, since the Shen family’s military power is gone, it’s no longer a threat to him. For example, the current Marquis of Lin’an. He won’t target the Marquis of Lin’an, but he targets the Shen family…” Fu Xiuyi would not waste his time on meaningless things.. What was the point of going out of his way to suppress the Shen family?
