Venomous Empress Reborn

787 All Yours (6)

“They can’t.” Xie Jingxing smiled. “Not everyone is as smart as us.”

Shen Miao rolled her eyes. Looking at the purple-clothed young man drinking tea leisurely opposite her, her heart was in turmoil.

What happened today was planned by her and Xie Jingxing. Xie Jingxing had many capable people under him. Some of them were skilled in disguising themselves, and some of them were outstanding at mimicking people’s voices. Some of them could even copy someone’s handwriting with just a glance. Huangfu Hao and Fu Xiuyan’s letters were secretly changed, so they went up the mountain at different times and through different paths. After Huangfu Hao went up the mountain, Xie Jingxing’s man disguised himself as the “Crown Prince”.

Although Huangfu Hao and the crown prince were considered familiar with each other, it was definitely not to the extent of close friends.

In the eyes of outsiders, the fact that the crown prince killed Huangfu Hao was an irreversible fact. The State of Qin would not let the matter rest. Not to mention forming an alliance, they would probably become enemies in the future. In order to appease the anger of the emperor of the State of Qin, Emperor Wen Hui had to sacrifice the crown prince.

“Why are you so sure that the emperor will sacrifice the crown prince?” Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows and asked, “That’s his own son.”

Shen Miao smiled. “Do you remember my second uncle?”

“I do.”

“Back then, when Shen Yuan, his son, was in trouble, he was busy trying to push all the blame to Shen Yuan. The emperor is also an ordinary person. For the sake of the world and his throne, what does it matter if he sacrifices one of his sons? Even if he knows that the crown prince is innocent, the emperor will only swallow this bitter fruit,” Shen Miao said mockingly, but there was a faint killing intent in the corners of her eyes.

Xie Jingxing stared at her thoughtfully.

Shen Miao always had a deep-rooted hatred for the royal family. Even if she had tried her best to hide it, there would always be times when she couldn’t. Xie Jingxing caught these moments and was suspicious, but he didn’t ask. He joked, “You seem to know the royal family very well. You make it sound like you’re one of them.”

Shen Miao lowered her eyes.

After she married Fu Xiuyi, Fu Xiuyi fought for the throne and killed a group of brothers. Nine princes were either dead or crippled, and some were missing. In the end, after Fu Xiuyi ascended the throne, she was deposed by some groundless accusations.

Cruelty was the nature of the royal family.

Even Fu Xiuyi and Emperor Wen Hui were scheming against each other. Emperor Wen Hui was wary of his son usurping the throne, and Fu Xiuyi hoped that his father would die early. There was also Consort Xu, Consort Dong, the empress… In the palace, whoever valued family was a fool and would die the quickest!

Unfortunately, in her previous life, she did not understand this simple logic. She always thought that people had hearts. However, she forgot that since Fu Xiuyi could kill his brothers and father, he could naturally kill her and her children too!

Over time, Shen Miao’s love for Fu Xiuyi from when she was young was chipped to the point where it was almost gone. The remaining love she had for Fu Xiuyi was all built on the fact that he was the father of Wanyu and Fu Ming. Shen Miao thought that no father would not love his children.

However, in the end, Fu Xiuyi gave his daughter to the Xiongnu and forced his son to a dead end!

She would definitely get back at him personally!

Seeing that Shen Miao was still in a daze, Xie Jingxing frowned. He hesitated for a moment and softened his voice. “If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. I’ll help you solve them.”

Shen Miao looked up at him. “You make it sound like you can do it.” However, she knew very well that Xie Jingxing could indeed do it. He could kill two crown princes just like that. The crown prince and Emperor Wen Hui knew that they were schemed against, but they did not even have a chance to fight back. Only Xie Jingxing could do such a thing. He was bold and capable, but he was also so cunning that no one could catch him. It was as if there was nothing in the world he could not do.

If only I had met him in my previous life, Shen Miao suddenly thought to herself.

However, she only said, “If I ask you to overthrow Ming Qi, can you do it?”

When the purple-robed young man holding the jade teacup heard this, he smiled. He was handsome and beautiful, and his noble and elegant aura were innate. Although his gaze was as sharp as a knife, his tone was slightly teasing.

“It’s just overthrowing a dynasty. What’s so difficult about it? If you want it, it’ll all be yours.”
