Being a Lady of an Influential Family

The two sitting in the study were relatively speechless for a while. They were all witnesses to the accident more than 20 years ago. It was hard to say who was right and who was wrong at that time. In such a troubled world, there may be no such thing as right or wrong at all.

However, as a person in power, as the emperor of a country, he could only abdicate and live in seclusion in the end, in the eyes of many people, it was Xiao Zhu's fault.

In recent years, not only the military department of the cabinet or the warlords from all over the country have been very wary of Xiao Zhu, but also many old nobles who have lost their former glory also have a lot of opinions on him. Even those new-style dignitaries with vested interests are only wary of him, while those old nobles who have lost everything because of this hate him deeply.

Holding the teacup, Prince An looked at Zhuo Lin with a smile on his face and said, "A Lin, have you never thought about who is behind those things...?"

Zhuo Lin was startled, looked up at Prince An with a slightly cold expression, "What do you want to say?"

Prince An sighed softly and said, "Zhang Bi came here a few years ago, and he showed me something." While speaking, Prince An opened a box next to him and took out a piece of paper. The pattern on it was somewhat blurred like Rubbing from something.

Prince An said: "This is the identity card found from those captured secret agents. The capital, a large number of secret agents, the mysterious behind-the-scenes person, Lan Hua, if it was you, who would you think of?"

Zhuo Lin didn't speak, Prince An smiled and said, "To be honest... If Zhang Bi didn't come to me, I would doubt him. But just so...he also doubted me. Isn't it interesting? The matter was almost found on the Long family."

Zhuo Lin said, "Do you think someone is secretly instigating?"

Prince An didn't answer, but asked instead, "Don't you think Zhang Bi's suspicion is reasonable? For so many years...sometimes I doubt what I have done these years? The days have passed by like this for more than 20 years."

Zhuo Lin said: "There is no one in your yard."

Prince An nodded and said, "It's a bit small, but it's enough."

"Even if it's not much, besides the high election, who else is yours? Who are there? The cabinet? The military department? The Zhang family, the Lou family, the Fu family, the Long family... If you do this, you can still do so many things , Why did you have to abdicate back then? Back then... you actually didn't have to abdicate, didn't you?"

Prince An smiled and said: "I think I chose the most suitable path at that time, maybe... I also want to see what this An Xia will become. But I have to say, these years... I am a little disappointed. Hurry up Thirty years later, nothing has changed."

"That's why they hate you." Zhuo Lin said in a deep voice.

Prince An looked at her and said, "Do you suspect it's Your Majesty?"

Shaking his head, Prince An said, "It's not him. He may have some small thoughts, but he won't have such big ambitions."

Zhuo Lin thoughtfully said, "That's why you chose to push him to the top?"

Prince An sighed and said, "The royal family... the Xiao family doesn't need a talented and ambitious emperor if they want to survive, they just need to keep their own place. This Anxia is not that it can't tolerate the Xiao family, but that it can't tolerate the imperial power. This imperial surname is the same for everything. Originally, I thought that the situation in the world would be settled within ten years at the most. At that time, whether the royal family was completely reduced to ordinary people and then disappeared from everyone, or completely became a symbolic identity would be enough. When the next generation grows up, they will probably get used to this identity and life, but I didn't expect..."

More than 20 years have passed, and the current situation of Anxia is actually the same as it was 20 years ago.

All parties checked and balanced each other, and no one dared to act rashly, so the stalemate came to this. But everyone knows that some things go all out, and then decline, and three times exhausted.

As time goes by, it will only become more and more troublesome, but this is beyond his control.

"Do you have anyone you suspect?" Zhuo Lin asked.

Prince An lowered his eyes and pondered, and said calmly: "People don't always appear out of thin air, there are still those people or people who are related to those people. In the past six months, I often recall the things of that year, and I always feel...something was wronged. I missed it and couldn't remember it for a while."

Zhuo Lin nodded and said, "I will think about it."

Prince An smiled and said, "There's nothing to think about. You don't need to get involved. You should go back to Yunzhou when you come back from Naga. Don't you know why Zhang Bi wants to drag you into this muddy water?"

Zhuo Lin looked calm and said: "He has his own selfishness, but he should also know that after all these years, we are no longer who we used to be. I have nothing to do with him long ago."

Prince An raised his eyebrows and smiled, "He may not think so, you have been alone for so many years, never thought... maybe one day you will be reunited?"

Zhuo Lin calmly looked at Prince An on the opposite side, and after a while said slowly, "There will be no such thing, not to mention that things have changed over the years. You also know that I like beautiful women, and he is ugly now How hard am I to think about it like that?"

"..." Prince An finally couldn't help laughing out loud, and it took a while before he stopped laughing and said, "That's not what you said back then."

"Young and ignorant, I can't bear to look back." Zhuo Lin said with a low smile.

After going to the palace, Leng Sa's curiosity about that Prince An continued unabated.

Not only because of this legendary experience, but also because Prince An is also very mysterious to Leng Sa. As an emperor who was forced to abdicate, he seemed too plain, which made people feel more hidden.

Leng Sa thought for a long time before finally finding a suitable description, like the big boss behind the scenes in TV and novels!

Lying lazily at the desk, looking at First Young Master Fu who was talking with Governor Fu, Governor Fu's loud voice came out of the microphone without hindrance, "Xiao Zhu?! Is he still alive? I told you He is unfamiliar!"

"..." First Young Master Fu was speechless. Of course, he didn't really think that Governor Fu didn't know about Prince An's life or death. This sentence was roughly equivalent to "Why isn't he dead yet?".

After being silent for a while, First Young Master Fu silently hung up the phone while Governor Fu was making wild complaints about Prince An.

Leng Sa looked at Young Master Fu's rarely troubled expression, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Fu Fengcheng looked at her sideways, and asked warmly, "What are you laughing at?"

Leng Sa smiled and said: "This is the first time I have seen the warlord so hostile to a person, ah, no... There is also a dragon warlord." Although she has never met the dragon warlord, but Fu warlord has always been disgusted with others. It's all unabashed. But for Prince An, Governor Fu had never mentioned it.

The Dragon Governor is an old enemy that checks and balances each other, so what is this Prince An who has long since retired and is now powerless?

In addition, someone who has been robbed of the throne can behave peacefully and peacefully. Will Governor Fu look too unmannered like this?

"Is there any enmity between the warlord and Prince An?" Leng Sa asked curiously.

Fu Fengcheng shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it."

They were born late, and in addition to the chaotic situation in the early years, people who knew the inside story died and scattered, many things are almost difficult to verify if they are not told by people who have experienced it.

All he could find out was that Governor Fu had stayed in the capital for a while back then, and indeed had some interaction with Prince An, but that was all before Fu Fengcheng was born.

Leng Sa thought about it, "Do you think... the person Prince An just mentioned looks like a warlord?"

Fu Fengcheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why does Madam think so?"

Leng Sa smiled and said, "It's just that when Prince An said that... his tone was a bit strange, and he even gave you a special look. Besides, the woman she was talking about...is Ms. Zhuo Lin?"

Governor Fu and Ms. Zhuo Lin had a relationship? It's a little exciting.

Recalling the photo of Ms. Zhuo Lin I saw in the newspaper before, I was thinking about the appearance of Governor Fu... Uh...

"Is there a big difference between Governor Fu when he was young and now?"

A smile flashed across Fu Fengcheng's eyes, as if he could see what Leng Sa was thinking in his heart, and said, "Ma'am, haven't you seen the photos of him when he was young?"

Leng Sa shook his head and said that there was no such thing, Fu Fengcheng said, "I'll get someone to show you later. You should still be able to find some old photos from the early years in the capital, or go back to Yongcheng to look at them."

Leng Sa blinked her eyes and looked at Fu Fengcheng innocently.

Fu Fengcheng said helplessly, "It doesn't look like that. When the old man was young, he ran around all the time and was much thinner than he is now. I vaguely remember... Before I went abroad, he was not what he is now. In terms of appearance... the fourth, fifth, and younger He looks more like him, but his temperament is too bad. Also, I heard from General Yao that the old man was not so irritable when he was young, and his photos when he was young look more like a northerner."

In fact, Governor Fu is not considered irritable now, but he speaks less scruples and makes people feel that he is a reckless man. But it's hard to say how much of this is real and how much is just pretending. A real reckless man can't achieve great things.

Not to mention, although the Fu family was originally not a wealthy family, it was also a family of Confucian merchants that had been passed down for many years, and Governor Fu was not an illiterate man.

Leng Sa thought about it for a while, and soon came up with an image of a tough guy who was somewhat similar to Fu Yucheng and Fu Yangcheng, but tall and straight, with a heroic and imposing manner. I couldn't help shivering, and stared at Fu Fengcheng a few more times.

Fu Fengcheng said: "What's wrong?"

Leng Sa sighed and said, "Men after forty must pay attention to maintenance and exercise hard. They must not let themselves go and give up on themselves just because of their high position and power. Look at the appearance of the warlord, are you talking about a person?" ?”

Fu Fengcheng looked at Leng Sa with a smile, and said, "Madam, don't worry, I won't become like that."

Leng Sa thought to himself, that's hard to say, who wasn't Yushu Linfeng when he was young.

When Dujun Fu was so promiscuous in the capital that even a stunning beauty like Ms. Zhuo Lin could catch up with him, he certainly never thought that one day he would become a rich and grumpy old man.

The poor beauty is still beautiful, but the hero has suddenly changed into a landlord, old rich and wealthy.

"So, why do you think Prince An is giving us advice?" Leng Sa changed the subject and asked curiously.

Fu Fengcheng thought for a while and said: "It may not be what he wants to do."

Leng Sa looked at him, "What do you say?"

Fu Fengcheng said: "In his current situation, he does less and makes more mistakes. But if he really doesn't do anything, it will make people feel suspicious. Special comments on us are nothing more than expressing an attitude to the outside world. I also want us to know that this matter has nothing to do with him. The biggest possibility is that neither the cabinet, the military, nor the royal family know who the person behind the scenes is, and now they are not only testing each other, but also trying to lure snakes out of their holes."

Leng Sa frowned, "Does such a person really exist?"

Not only the Fu family's Long family could not be found, but also the royal family of the cabinet and military department, and Leng Sa couldn't help but suspect that this world was too magical.

If that person is really that powerful, what is he doing in hiding?

Fu Fengcheng said with a faint smile, "It may also be because most people don't doubt him at all."

"It's dark under the lamp?" Leng Sa said, Fu Fengcheng nodded, "This person obviously knows the identity and past of the current generation who are in power, so he can create all kinds of things to make them suspect each other. And the background is not bad , firstly, his status is too low to get in touch with these people, and secondly, he needs a lot of financial support to do those things. Even if it is the so-called self-made, the first pot of gold is very important."

Leng Sa nodded, and continued to think along with his thoughts, "Then this person should not be those famous people back then, because these people are probably suspicious of each other now."

Fu Fengcheng said: "I asked Su Ze to investigate what happened more than 20 years ago, and I will ask the old man later."

Leng Sa agreed, "That's right, no matter how much you investigate the things in the capital, you will never be able to find out more clearly than the person involved."

"Eldest Young Master, Young Master Madam." Yuan Ying walked in from the outside with a strange expression, Leng Sa looked at her puzzled, "What's the matter?"

Yuan Ying said, "The third prince and Princess Chaoyang are here, and with them are... Dushuai Sun and Young Master Sun."

Leng Sa raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help laughing, "Sun Dushuai is fast enough." This means that he started rushing to the capital just after receiving the scandal between Sun Rui and Xiao Nanjia? Yijiang is more than twice as far away from the capital as the six southern provinces.

Looking sideways at Fu Fengcheng, does this seem to be a bit of a bad comer?

Fu Fengcheng pulled Leng Sa up and said softly, "Don't worry, it's fine."

"Send them to the lobby."

"Yes, young master."
