    “Father definitely won’t let Uncle marry Shen Miao. However, this time, Father didn’t tell Uncle directly. Instead, he avoided him as if he was warning him.”


    “His patience is probably worn out.” Prince Li smiled faintly. “It’s better for the two of us not to talk about this. It has nothing to do with us anyway. Father doesn’t look too happy these days. Better stay with him for the time being.”


    “Sixth Brother, you are right.” Prince Xiang nodded.


    After the two of them left, a person slowly walked out from the corner of the garden. It was Prince Ding, Fu Xiuyi. He stood in the garden, clearly having heard the conversation between the two of them. He looked at the back of the two of them and muttered thoughtfully, “Shen Miao?”


    …


    On the top floor of Lake Immortal Pavilion, Ji Yushu showed the letter to Gao Yang before burning it to ashes in the firece.


    “The rumor has already spread. Emperor Wen Hui is also suspicious of Old Dog. This time, Old Dog shot himself in the foot without knowing it.” Ji Yushu gloated.


    Gao Yang shook his head. “We have to be careful. We can’t afford to make a tiny mistake now.”


    “I know.” Ji Yushu rubbed his nose. “What is Third Brother Xie busy with these days? He’s nowhere to be seen.”


    “When is he not busy?” Gao Yang suddenly sighed. “I wonder if it’s right or wrong to let him do whatever he wants.”


    “I believe in Third Brother Xie.” Ji Yushu said, “Third Brother Xie is so capable. What are you worried about? He has been preparing for so long. Even if he can’t seed, he can still get out of it unscathed. Gao Yang, you’re just overthinking. Look at our Third Brother Xie. No matter how troubled he is, he still lives a carefree life. This is what a man should be like!”


    Ji Yushu was obviously Xie Jingxing’s loyal follower. Gao Yang rolled his eyes at him. “Bootlicker.”


    “Who’s bootlicker? Besides, it’s not that I’ll bootlick everyone.” He looked at Gao Yang in disdain and said, “For example, I can’t be bothered to bootlick you even if you get down on your knees and beg me to.”


    Gao Yang smiled gently. “Is that so? Then don’t ask me to prescribe you medicines in the future. If you kneel down and beg me, I won’t prescribe it to you.”


    Ji Yushu was stunned for a moment before immediately changing the topic. “Actually, in the past, I felt that the young people in the capital were all sissy and useless. Only Third Brother Xie is a man. But now, I admire another person. I feel that other than Third Brother Xie, there are other talented young people in the capital.”


    “Oh, there’s someone you admire. How eye-opening.” Gao Yang said indifferently, “Who is that person? May I know?”


    “Shen Miao, the daughter of the Shen family!” Ji Yushu pped his thigh. “Damn, I’ve never seen such a bold woman! She even dares to scheme against the royal family. Moreover, she’s targeting Prince Yu and wants to wipe out the entire Prince Yu’s mansion.”


    “Well, that’s not the craziest thing she’s done,” Gao Yang said with admiration. Previously, Shen Miao burned down her ancestral hall and even dared to bet her life on it. At that time, Gao Yang felt that Shen Miao was really a lunatic. People like Gao Yang were used to nning everything in detail before making a guaranteed move. At first, Gao Yang just took Shen Miao as a foolhardy clown. He was sure that Shen Miao would not live long given how reckless she was. However, he did not expect that she would’vee thus far and won every time.


    Sometimes, Gao Yang felt that it was very strange. People like him all treated themselves as exquisite porcin. Unless they had no choice, they would never risk their lives to fight with others. However, Shen Miao was the opposite. She treated herself as a stone, and the people who she went against became porcin. She didn’t lose a thing, but the porcin that was shamed by the stone had all shattered into pieces.
