Chapter 796 - 796 Conviction (3)



Shen Miao was speechless. It had been a long time since anyone called her naive.

Xie Jingxing said, “The royal family only cares about the outcome. The truth is not important. After all, it’s already impossible for Huangfu Hao to come back from the dead.” He played with the teacup in his hand and said indifferently, “The State of Qin might have other suitable princes to replace Huangfu Hao. It’s just that the current state of affairs in the State of Qin must be very chaotic because of this. The State of Qin naturally wants Ming Qi to lose someone equivalent in status.”

“No matter if the crown prince is the murderer or not, the crown prince has to die.” The smile on Xie Jingxing’s lips was cold. “Only when the crown prince dies will Ming Qi and the State of Qin be considered even.”

Shen Miao took a deep breath.

Ming Qi and the State of Qin were originally on par with each other in terms of national strength. Now that the State of Qin had lost a crown prince, the competition for the throne between the princes would probably cause even more chaos in the imperial court. If Ming Qi was fine, the State of Qin would not be happy.

No matter what, the first reaction of a person who was in a quagmire was not to think of a way to climb out, but to pull the people around him into it.

Emperor Wen Hui had probably already seen through this, so very soon, the crown prince would become a sacrifice to balance this unfairness.

No matter how unwilling he was, for the sake of the dynasty, he had to make this decision.

Shen Miao didn’t speak.

Xie Jingxing smiled. “Killing two birds with one stone. You did well.”

Shen Miao said, “I’m just in charge of coming up with an idea. You’re the one who executed it.”

Shen Miao was the one who came up with this idea while Xie Jingxing was in charge of executing it. Xie Jingxing had many capable people under him, and it wasn’t easy for him to put up such a flawless show.

Shen Miao thought that Xie Jingxing contributed the most.

Xie Jingxing smiled faintly and did not comment.

After chatting for a while, Shen Miao’s hair was dry. She was so sleepy that she yawned twice. Seeing this, Xie Jingxing planned to leave.

Before he left, Shen Miao suddenly stopped him. She hesitated for a moment before asking, “Has Princess Rong Xin been looking for you recently?”

“No.” Xie Jingxing raised an eyebrow.

“Then… What are your plans?”

“”No plans.” With that, Xie Jingxing rushed out of the window without looking back.

Shen Dongling and Wang Bi were locked in the deepest part of the prison. It was unknown if Emperor Wen Hui did it on purpose to show fairness or not, but he did not lock up the rest of the Wang family.

However, this did not mean that the situation was much better. Wang Bi was the only child in the Wang family. If anything happened to Wang Bi, the Wang family would probably be finished.

The prison guards who came and went did not treat the two of them kindly, because they were used to seeing powerful people being locked up in this prison. Moreover, the minister counselor was not a high-ranking official.

Shen Dongling was in an extremely sorry state.

A few days ago, she had the dream of becoming famous in the future, but she did not expect things to turn out like this. Originally, she and Wang Bi respected each other and were harmonious. However, once something bad happened, they fell out.

Wang Bi blamed Shen Dongling. After all, Shen Dongling was the one who came up with the idea that caused the two of them to end up in prison. Wang Bi was not a fool. If the crown prince could not be saved, how could he be saved?
