Shengjing Noble

Chapter 418 Innocent People

"Why did you come to the candidate's residence?" Fu Mingheng asked straight to the point.

"Chasing the fox." Su Lanyin held the little fox and shook it towards him, then stroked the soft and smooth fox fur with a doting look on her face, "This little guy is really naughty, running around everywhere."

"Where did this fox come from?" A hint of disgust flashed in Fu Mingheng's eyes.

He doesn't like this furry thing, it looks dirty and disgusting!

So I subconsciously took a few steps back to keep some distance, which showed that I was very disgusted.

Su Lanyin narrowed her eyes and thought, if he doesn’t like such a cute little guy, he must be a bad guy!

So she asked, "The prince gave it to me. Why, doesn't the young master like the little fox?"

"Isn't this thing meant to be skinned and made into a cloak? Why are you holding it in your arms?" Fu Mingheng asked coldly.

"Ah?" Su Lanyin was stunned, shocked by his remarks.

Fox fur is indeed very popular among wealthy people. It is not only beautiful but also warm. She does not deny this, but the cuteness of the little fox is also beyond doubt.

She was a little speechless, and couldn't help but retort: ​​"Who said that this kind of thing must be skinned? If that's the case, then people are going to die anyway, so why not die before they are born?"

Su Lanyin's words were a bit far-fetched, but how could you be reasonable when dealing with unreasonable people?

After saying this, she didn't want to show him a good face at all. If she continued to endure it, she was afraid that her hands would itch and she would want to hit him, so she bowed and said, "It's time for me to go back. Goodbye."

Then, he carried the fox around him and left.

This was the first time that Fu Mingheng had been confronted by someone since he was a child. However, he was not as angry as he had imagined. Instead, he found it a little funny.

How can a woman utter such words?

How strange!

He became more curious about "Jasmine" played by Su Lanyin.

……

Back in the tent, Fu Wuyang was sitting at the table drinking tea. Seeing Su Lanyin walk in angrily, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

She put the little fox on the ground, sat on the edge of the bed, and crossed her arms angrily.

"Your Majesty, let me ask you, if this little fox is not sent to me to entertain me, what will you do with it?"

"Of course it's made into a fox cloak, what's the matter?"

“It’s wild!”

"so what?"

"Can't you just put it back?"

Fu Wuyang was amused by her and couldn't help but stand up and walk over to sit next to her.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling sorry for this little beast?"

"I'm not feeling sorry for it. I understand that some people make a living by selling fox fur, but... we shouldn't take it for granted that it was born to be used as a fur coat!"

"Who said that?"

"Who else could it be? The Dog Prince!"

"He doesn't even care about human life, so how can he care about an animal?"

"Forget it, maybe I'm just being too hypocritical."

"Then this fox..."

"I'm going to take it away when this is over."

"Okay, if you like it, keep it."

"Oh, right, I almost forgot something important!"

"what happened?"

"I really found something unusual! Someone has scattered powder under my brother's bed that attracts snakes, insects, rats and ants. It seems someone is planning to use these poisons to plot against my brother."

"Is this true? It seems that I was not strict enough. Have you found anything else?"

"There were two other people who shared the room with him. One of them had the same powder under his bed, but the other did not."

"So, one of them must have drugged me. Do you know who it was?"

"I was in a hurry to leave, and there was no name on the bed. I even confirmed my eldest brother's bed by checking his luggage. But I can confirm it by the location. The bed without the powder is at the innermost position."

"Okay, I'll have someone check it out."

"Then there is Prince Lao."

After saying that, Fu Wuyang got up and went out.

……

Su Lanyin waited until night time, and finally there was movement outside.

She drew aside the curtain and went out to check, and the guard at the door told her what had happened.

"I heard that there were many poisonous snakes and scorpions in the tent, and they even crawled onto the bed."

"Is that person okay?"

"Only one person was bitten by a poisonous snake and died on the spot. The other two were frightened but not seriously injured."

"Then do you know the name of the person who was bitten to death by a poisonous snake?"

"I don't know about this."

As they were talking, Fu Wuyang had already rushed back.

Su Lanyin hurried forward to greet him.

"Your Majesty!"

"Go in and talk."

Fu Wuyang naturally took her hand and walked into the tent, then pulled her to the bed.

"The one who was bitten to death by the venomous snake was An Shiqing, the legitimate son of the Minister of War."

"Is it the bed closest to the inside?" Su Lanyin asked.

Fu Wuyang nodded: "That's right."

"Then he must have been the one who poisoned the food! This is what they call "doing too much evil will lead to your own destruction!"

If Su Lanyin hadn't discovered it in time, Su Shengyan and another innocent candidate would probably be dead now.

"I have already found a powder that attracts snakes, insects, rats and ants in his luggage. His followers have also confessed that his son intended to murder the other two candidates. But the problem now is..."

"We have all the evidence, what else is there?"

"The problem is that his father is the Minister of War, and his mother is from a general's family. His family holds military power, has great influence, and is backed by the Wei family."

"Even if it's God's will, it's his own fault. He can't blame anyone else."

"But the An family doesn't think so, and the prince won't let it go. Even though I'm protecting him, they still blame your eldest brother for this."

"Why?"

"They found an insect repellent sachet under your eldest brother's pillow, and there was also powder under his bed that attracted snakes, insects, rats and ants. They concluded that he knew something, but deliberately moved the powder next to Chu Yan's bed to under An Shiqing's bed, which caused him to be bitten to death by a poisonous snake."

"There is no basis for this. What basis do they have to say this?"

"Whether there is evidence or not, your eldest brother has completely offended the An family this time. They are not easy to mess with."

Su Lanyin's eyes were firm: "As long as Big Brother is safe, I don't care who I offend."

"Why did you insist on moving the powder under An Shiqing's bed?"

"What else? Let the venomous snake kill another innocent person?"

"The Chu and An families are both the prince's people. If Chu Yan dies, then after the truth is found out, An Shiqing will definitely be beheaded in public. At that time, the Chu and An families will definitely break up. We can successfully disintegrate the prince's power without any effort. Isn't that good?"

"Not good! I just know that innocent people shouldn't die in vain!"

Su Lanyin understood these political schemes very well, but she could not watch innocent people die while allowing the real murderer to succeed.

Maybe she is not a good tool for fame and fortune, but she has her own bottom line. She can be cruel when she needs to be cruel, and be kind when she needs to be kind. She also has to keep her original heart so as not to lose herself.

"You are so childish! One wrong step will lead to many wrong steps..."

"Your Majesty, you don't have to teach me what is right and wrong, because I have my own judgment of right and wrong!"
