539 Robbery (4)
“Stop feeding. If you continue, it’ll really become a cat.” Gao Yang watched from the side and urged.
Xie Jingxing turned a deaf ear. As he continued to feed the white tiger, he said casually, “I dote on it. Do you have a problem with that?”
Gao Yang choked and waved his hand. “Alright, alright, alright. I don’t care if you feed cats or tigers. What happened in the palace today? For some reason, why did you make things difficult for Prince Ding? A person like Fu Xiuyi must be suspicious of you now. It’s not appropriate to alert the enemy, right? What are you thinking?”
When Gao Yang heard about what happened in the palace, he could not believe it at first. Xie Jingxing had his own way of doing things, and it was not a good time to go against Fu Xiuyi now. Fu Xiuyi also had some tricks up his sleeve. Although he would not hurt Xie Jingxing, he could cause him some trouble. Now was not the time to make any mistakes.
Seeing that Xie Jingxing was ignoring him, Gao Yang rolled his eyes. “Could it be because of Shen Miao?”
Xie Jingxing said, “Don’t you have anything to do?”
“What?”
“Have you settled the matters about the Su family?” Xie Jingxing asked.
Gao Yang was stunned for a moment before saying, “I’ve already arranged for someone to do it. However,” After a pause, he continued, “Is there a point in doing this? Although you and Su Mingfeng are good friends, one day, when he finds out your true identity, he will definitely become your enemy. At that time, everything you do will be a conspiracy in his eyes. Why do you have to do this?”
Emperor Wen Hui had the intention to suppress the Su family. Even though the Su family had already deliberately kept a low profile, they still left some evidence from what they previously did. This evidence was very likely to become a weakness for the Su family in the future. What Xie Jingxing asked Gao Yang to do was to secretly get rid of the evidence for the Su family so that nothing would happen to the Su family in the future.
Gao Yang did not comment on Xie Jingxing’s actions. Xie Jingxing was now wearing a mask, so no one knew that he was Prince Rui. One day, with his mask gone, Su Mingfeng would definitely be able to recognize him. Being deceived by his childhood brothers, Su Mingfeng would be disappointed. Moreover, the Daliang Dynasty and Ming Qi would one day be enemies.
Xie Jingxing could protect the Su family, but he could not protect the friendship he had with Su Mingfeng. This was an unavoidable fact.
“When I want to do something, do I ever consider what others might think?” Xie Jingxing said, “I do it just because I want to do it.”
Gao Yang said sharply, “Perhaps you’ve forgotten that you’re different from before. With this identity, no one in Ming Qi can be your trustworthy friend. If you take off your mask, you will be enemies with those you were once close to.”
The night breeze blew. The white tiger was full. It burped and happily went to bite Xie Jingxing’s sleeve. The entire courtyard was filled with the sound of the wind.
After a while, Xie Jingxing said, “No.”
“Not everyone. There’s one person who’s different.” He said, “Someone who I can befriend as Prince Rui of the Daliang Dynasty.”
“Are you talking about Shen Miao?” Gao Yang reminded, “Your Highness, don’t forget that Shen Miao is friends with you now because she also wants to deal with Prince Ding, Fu Xiuyi. Your Highness can help her, but once the day really comes, in the end, she will still stand against you. Isn’t Your Highness prepared to be hated by the world from the beginning? If you’re just greedy for a moment of happiness, you’ll only feel sad when the happiness is shattered.”
“So what?”
Gao Yang was stunned.
