Mr. Cui was getting more and more anxious and helpless, and his expression naturally showed it: "Master Wang, you are joking. Can we still control the situation now? Master thinks too highly of us."
If Xu Shun and Xu Yonghong were still alive at the beginning, one of them was a civil official and the other a military officer, one holding great power and the other a general, they could both play a role. But now, both of them are dead.
The Fenyang Palace was indeed closely tied to them, but even so, the Cui family and Princess Fenyang would never intend to sacrifice themselves to help them.
Mr. Bai Qi disappeared recently, and Princess Fenyang knew it was because of this matter. She has been looking for Mr. Bai Qi for a long time. Mr. Bai Qi sent a letter back, but asked them to find someone, but who should they find
Lord Wang took a sip of tea with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, Mr. Cui, you know all this, and we know it too. What we mean is... can we think of a way to let others do it. In fact, there may be room for maneuver..."
Mr. Cui looked at him suspiciously: "From what you said, it seems that you have already made plans?"
Lord Wang sat there calmly, as if he was a completely different person from before: "Mr. Cui, it's not that there is no other way. You know, people's attention is limited. They can be attracted by one thing today, and by another thing tomorrow..."
Mr. Cui sensed something was wrong and lowered his voice and said hurriedly, "What do they want to do? Don't even think about doing anything reckless..."
Although we have been preparing for so many years, how can such a thing be done hastily
Lord Wang looked at him in surprise, then immediately laughed: "What are you thinking, Mr. Cui? Don't worry, there are many capable people around the young master, and it's not that bad yet. But this matter... .. still needs your help."
Mr. Cui breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't what he thought.
After he collected his thoughts and calmed down, he asked, "Then, how can we help you?"
"That's not difficult to say." Lord Wang looked at Mr. Cui meaningfully and said, "Wait for my news in a few days, sir."
Mr. Cui was a little amused that he still wanted to keep the secret at this critical moment, but the situation before him was just as Lord Wang said, there was nothing he could do. He nodded hesitantly, and when he returned to Fenyang Palace, he went straight to see Princess Fenyang to report the matter.
Princess Fenyang was extremely anxious. Princess Chun'an had died, and she had wanted to avenge her.
But now it has been dragged on, and not only has Su Yao not learned his lesson, but he has become a hero who saved the people and Princess Chun'an.
The noble ladies who came to visit the palace these days all wanted to say something, openly or secretly, that although Princess Chun'an could not be rescued in the end, it was rare for Princess Changning to have such courage and bravery.
It seemed that everyone had already regarded Su Yao as the benefactor of Fenyang Palace.
This feeling made Princess Fenyang very uncomfortable.
She could hardly even laugh.
The room fell silent. She snorted coldly and rubbed her temples, feeling upset. "What do they want from us? They always say half and leave the other half. What do they think we are?"
She was in a bad mood, which Mr. Cui knew from the beginning. Therefore, even though Princess Fenyang was very annoyed, he still advised earnestly: "Princess, don't be too anxious. They will be more anxious than us about this matter. Let's see what kind of turning point they are talking about."
This is the only way now.
Princess Fenyang hummed unhappily and was about to speak when someone outside came to report that Princess Mingchang had arrived.
Princess Fenyang was overjoyed.
Her status and position in the capital are now awkward. First her son-in-law died, then her husband died, and now even her daughter is dead. No matter how high her status and position are, at this point, she can't help but be considered unlucky by some people. When Princess Chun'an got into trouble, the number of families who came to send condolences was much less than before.
Now that Princess Mingchang can come, it is at least a good thing for the Fenyang Palace.
She winked at Mr. Cui and shouted outside, "Princess, please go to the flower hall for tea. I'll be there later."
She hurried back to her room and changed into clothes for meeting the guests. She walked out quickly and saw Princess Mingchang sitting in the flower hall. Her eyes suddenly became hot and she walked quickly forward to hold Princess Mingchang's hand.
Princess Mingchang looked at her deeply, and seeing how emaciated and haggard she had become in such a short period of time, she couldn't help but shake her head and said, "You too, how can you not take care of yourself? Even if she knew about you like this, she wouldn't be able to rest in peace."
Princess Fenyang burst into tears immediately: "Now, you are the only one who can say this to me."
She couldn't help sobbing. "To be honest, I know that everyone is worried about our family... Many people are saying behind our backs that we are being punished for not doing good deeds. You know... Even Chun'an's death was fabricated and used to gossip about how domineering she was in her daily life, and how she flattered the horse desperately when riding, which frightened the horse and hurt the people. The only thing missing is to say that Chun'an deserved it..."
Princess Mingchang sighed and said, "Forget it. Others have their own mouths. It's their business to say whatever they want. How can you control what others say? Taking care of your own health is the most important thing."
"How can I take care of myself?" Princess Fenyang's eyes turned red, and she couldn't help crying: "Mingchang, I'm not afraid to make you angry. You are not me, you don't know how painful it is in my heart, like a blunt knife cutting my flesh, but I have nowhere to complain, and everyone around me is talking about the good things about Su Yao..."
Princess Mingchang looked at her steadily and said, "You don't have to be angry with me. I certainly understand how you feel. I am even more hurt than you right now. Do you know why I came here this time?"
Princess Fenyang was shocked by her expression. She thought about it in her mind and realized that she had never heard of anything happening in Princess Mingchang's mansion. In addition, Princess Mingchang was always the most respected sister of Emperor Yuanfeng, so she asked hesitantly, "What happened?"
"Our family... that useless thing, he secretly tried to run back to the capital from his hometown, but now he's missing." Princess Mingchang couldn't help but grit her teeth as she spoke: "He was lost in Yanggu County. I thought your family was highly respected in the local area, so I came here specifically to ask you for help. Please help me find this good-for-nothing. He's the only one left in the second and third houses. Otherwise, if there's anyone who can hold on, I'll just go with this evil creature and don't bother to care whether he lives or dies."
