Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 726

Chapter 726: Chapter 723: Deep Relationship_1

Bai Jinxiu saw Fu Ruoxi off. Bai Qingyan slowly rested her elbow on the hidden pouch, lowering her eyes in deep thought. Why would Wang Qiulu go to King Liang’s mansion? Was it to avenge Liu Ruofu? Or... did he still want to support King Liang’s rise to power?

But if he wanted to do these two things, what did it have to do with Fu Ruoxi? Why did he lead Fu Ruoxi to the entrance of King Liang’s mansion and let Fu Ruoxi see him enter King Liang’s mansion with her own eyes?

Or was it Li Mingrui who made Wang Qiulu do this?

The Crown Princess Consort was giving birth, and the Crown Prince’s mansion was busy today.

Old Fang and Ren Shijie put on black cloaks and hoods, and together they quietly exited through the corner gate of the Crown Prince’s mansion. After ensuring no one was around, Ren Shijie helped Old Fang into a carriage that had been waiting outside the mansion.

After the two got into the carriage and sat down, the always cautious Old Fang lifted the curtain to look outside. After waiting for half a quarter-hour, he instructed the driver, "Go!"

Ren Shijie, sitting beside Old Fang, seemed a bit uneasy. "Old Fang, shouldn’t we inform the Crown Prince?"

Having been severely reprimanded by the Crown Prince earlier today, Old Fang’s face looked sullen and grim.

"Now that the Crown Princess Consort is in labor, the Crown Prince cannot be distracted. Moreover, we do not have Wang Jianghai’s son in our hands... if we just tell His Highness that Princess of Zhen sent someone to rescue the traitor Wang Jianghai’s son, Wang Qiulu, do you think he would believe us? His Highness now trusts the Princess of Zhen far more than us. He might even think that I am petty and cannot tolerate the Princess of Zhen!"

The lanterns outside the carriage flickered, casting shadows on Old Fang’s face. "I am more certain than ever, the Princess of Zhen risking her life to save the Crown Prince... was a setup! With this setup, whenever the Crown Prince doubts the Princess of Zhen, he would recall that she saved his life and dismiss his suspicions! Truly a brilliant scheme!"

Ren Shijie pursed his lips and remained silent.

This time, Li Mingrui sought out Ren Shijie with the intention of conspiring to frame the Princess of Zhen, and Ren Shijie understood it clearly.

For Ren Shijie, a spy from Yan, the more chaotic Jin became, the better!

Jin used to be feared by other nations because of the invincible King of Zhen, Bai Weiting. They dared not wage war easily.

Now, Jin is feared because of this God of Slaughter, the Princess of Zhen. Her methods and intelligence are even more ruthless than the King of Zhen’s. Naturally, other countries are also afraid.

If Old Fang could indeed make the Crown Prince of Jin abandon the Princess of Zhen, or even... take her life, it would only benefit Yan in reclaiming its old capital, Dadu City, or in destroying Jin.

After all, no one wants an enemy nation to have such a formidable general who also has the Crown Prince’s deep trust.

Ren Shijie, having been by the Crown Prince’s side for many years, knew that besides Old Fang, the Princess of Zhen was the only other person who could influence the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince ascends the throne with the Princess of Zhen assisting him, it would be challenging for Yan to even reclaim the old capital, let alone destroy Jin.

As a minister of Yan, Ren Shijie naturally had to consider Yan’s interests.
