Chapter 417: Shu Yu Has Only One Month
Shu Yu: "..."
She couldn't help but feel more aggrieved than Dou E (a character from a Chinese play known for her unjust suffering).
Meng Yunzheng noticed her silence and understood that she was feeling uneasy. Although the candle-lit room was dim, he could sense her discomfort.
Meng Yunzheng clenched his fist involuntarily. "Don't worry. Although it's exile, I will make arrangements to ensure you don't suffer. You will be back within three months at most."
Shu Yu raised her head in surprise. Did he have the same idea as her?
Three months was indeed a short period of time.
Meng Yunzheng smiled and said, "There are some things I shouldn't tell you, but now that you're involved, I will explain everything clearly."
"What is it?" Shu Yu asked.
"Nowadays, there is fierce competition between two factions in the court. One is aligned with the Second Prince, and the other with the Third Prince. The Shu family belongs to the faction supporting the Third Prince, so naturally, the target is the Second Prince. Of course, these are just the visible factions. Behind the scenes, there is another force lurking."
Shu Yu knew about this. The hidden force was the Fifth Prince.
In the book, the male lead was the Fifth Prince's ally. Not only him, but the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice also seemed to be neutral, following the Emperor's orders. In reality, he was also aligned with the Fifth Prince. This time, he took charge of the Shu family's case, making it appear as though the Second Prince was reaching out to the Shu family, intending to sever the influence of the Third Prince in Dong'an Prefecture.
But in a contest between the lesser of two evils, the real mastermind behind all this was the Fifth Prince.
Since the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice was the Fifth Prince's ally, it naturally meant that his close associate, Xiang Weinan, was as well.
So...
Shu Yu looked at Meng Yunzheng before her. "Are you also affiliated with this hidden prince? Are you one of his people?"
Meng Yunzheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. "No, I would say we have a cooperative relationship. We have a common enemy. Once we bring down this person, I will have no further connection with him. So, I am not involved in many things."
To avoid getting too deeply involved and ensure a safe retreat.
In fact, Meng Yunzheng didn't need to concern himself with the affairs of the Shu family. His current mission was simply to find the leader of the Dongqing Sect.
But because of Shu Yu, he became so invested in it.
Meng Yunzheng didn't tell Shu Yu who this prince was, but he had already revealed quite a bit of information.
Meng Yunzheng continued his analysis. "Even if you are not the Shu family's daughter, just to be safe, the Second Prince's people will definitely search for your whereabouts. Although Minister Jing intends to help you, he can't make too many moves. If his identity is exposed, he won't be able to protect himself."
Shu Yu nodded. "Will they find this place?"
"I know you're worried about involving the Lu family. But rest assured, Jiangyuan County is now within Xiang Weinan's sphere of influence. He will do his best to conceal your whereabouts. They will 'find' you after one month."
She only had one month left.
It seemed that time was running out for her.
Zhao Xi tried to console her. "Actually, one month is already quite long. That Aunt Xue really wishes she could find you and kill you. She has revealed everything she should and shouldn't have said. When she bought you, she didn't know your grandmother's identity, but she had a meeting point for the transaction. Although it's not within Jiangyuan County, it's not far from here. The people searching for you will undoubtedly come in this direction first."
So one month was the longest time Xiang Weinan and the others could buy her.
