Fu Shuyan continued smiling at Fu Shi. While holding Fu Qi Hong's wrist, she said to her elder sister, "After all, you are not soone who relies on soone else, right, sister Shi? You achieved what you have right now, all thanks to your hard work. So how can we dare to say that you are just like the ministers who are trying to climb up the ranks by using such despicable ans?"
Though Fu Shuyan did not say anything wrong, anyone could see the underlying aning of her words. Fu Shi narrowed her eyes when she heard the words of her sister. She knew and understood what Fu Shuyan was trying to say.
But since she wasn't willing to tear off her face and their superficial cordial relationship, Fu Shi was not going to do it either. She nodded with a fake smile and said to Fu Shuyan, "You are right. Of course, I only rely on my own skills to rise through the ranks." She then glanced at Fu Qi Hong before adding, "I was just worried about my little brother, who, despite being so old, did not understand and learn that he needs to keep his mouth shut at so places or else he would offend a few people whom he shouldn't."
"I am the third prince of this nation," Fu Qi Hong sneered at his sister. "I am not a servant or a minister who needs to worry about offending others. If anything, they should be worried about falling out of favour with ."
Fu Shi glared at Fu Qi Hong when she saw how unrepentant he looked. She said to him, "One day you will understand why you should have kept your mouth shut, Qi Hong. You can not always run your mouth and say anything that you want."
"I will wait for that day," Fu Qi Hong smiled haughtily. "But before I can learn that lesson, I think soone will learn their lesson of not always coveting sothing that does not belong to them and working hard. Let's wait and see who will learn their lesson first?"
Fu Shi's fingers clenched, and her nostrils flared.
Fu Shuyan was certain that she was going to explode, but then the woman only snorted and then turned on her feet and walked away.
Once she was gone, Fu Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief and pulled Fu Qi Hong along with her. Once the two of them reached their small palace in the Imperial harem, Fu Shuyan turned to look at her brother and said to him, "My dear ancestor, why are you trying to cause trouble for no reason?"
"I am not making trouble for no reason," Fu Qi Hong snorted as he walked over to the couch with his arms crossed. He sat down and looked at his sister with a glare before saying to her, "You and I both know why Fu Shi is being so active and supportive of the ministers. It must be because Wei Yunrou told her that she can take Mo Qiang's core once it is dug out."
"Who doesn't know what kinds of new lows she had not hit while trying to take over the throne? Even our mother is greatly disappointed in her. She knows this too, which is why she is desperate to do anything. Do you think that she will sit still?"
Fu Qi Hong curled his lips in disdain and stated, "She takes and snatches the credit of others, and yet she acts like she is the noble one. The last ti it was the sixth sister, then it was you, and now it's Miss Qiang. She never does or takes responsibility and only knows how to take advantage of others. Do you want to tell that she is any better than the rest? Because if that's what you want to say to , then I will ask you to not bother."
Fu Shuyan looked at Fu Qi Hong, who seed worried and angry. She sighed and said to him, "I know that you are upset with the things that the ministers and Fu Shi are doing, but Hong'er. Do not forget that Fu Shi is still the crown princess. If you go against her so openly, I am worried that woman might really do sothing to you."
This was the only reason why Fu Shuyan was stopping Fu Qi Hong from fighting directly with Fu Shi. Unlike her, she was not Fu Qi Hong's biological sister and had no sympathy or even the slightest bit of feelings towards Fu Qi Hong.
If he got on her hit list, then Fu Shi might really do sothing to him.
"Then I will wait for her to do sothing," Fu Qi Hong snorted as he stood up from the couch. "The day she decides to co after will be the day when she will know why she should have stayed put and not jumped around like a clown!"
As he spoke, he turned on his feet and called out to his shadow slave.
"Your highness," the r appeared out of thin air, and with his hands clasped, he bowed in front of Fu Qi Hong. "What are your orders?"
"Go and take care of Miss Qiang." Fu Qi Hong's eyes were filled with great regret and concern when he said those words. He would have run to stay by Mo Qiang's side, but Fu Qi Hong knew his position, and he also knew the consequences of his actions.
Thus, he could only stay put at the Imperial Palace and wait for Mo Qiang to get better.
He heaved an exhale and said to the shadow guard, "Don't even think of leaving her side. Not even for a second; as long as you see anyone trying to make a move on Miss Qiang, you need to take them down at once. Make sure that not even a strand of her hair goes missing."
"Yes." The shadow guard obliged as he disappeared into thin air.
And once he was gone, Fu Qi Hong sat down on his bed and covered his face in distress.
"Qi Qi."
Now that he was alone, he could no longer hold his head high and pretend that he was fine.
