Chapter 491: Time reveals a person’s true character!

Dongguo Siqi followed Zhong Tianque all the way to Guangzhao Pavilion, and said with a sincere and apologetic attitude: "Your Highness, Chenxi did something so insulting to our ancestors. It was Chenxi's fault. I apologize to you on her behalf."

"Your Highness, please forgive her this time."

"What's wrong with that?" Zhong Tianque had a sarcastic smile on his face, and said, "Perhaps Chenxi also had her own reasons. Who knows, was she forced by someone?"

Dongguo Siqi's eyes lit up, and he immediately followed Zhong Tianque's words and said, "Yes, it is not easy for a woman who is weak and powerless to survive in this deep palace."

"We didn't care about her enough. We thought she would marry His Highness and become the mistress of Fengming Palace, one of the best, above ten thousand people, with an indescribable status. Who could have thought that she also had her own unspeakable secrets?"

Zhong Tianque cursed in his heart. He was trying to give him a way out, but this old man was still mocking him for not being able to be the master of the house, not being the true master of Fengming Palace, and not being able to protect his woman.

If he were the male host, what secrets would Dongguo Chenxi, the female host, have?

Dongguo family, damn it!
Zhong Tianque poured himself a glass of red wine, shook it gently in his hand, looked at Dongguo Siqi and asked, "Uncle, who do you think hurt Chenxi?"

Dongguo Siqi looked stunned and said, "Didn't Chenxi just say that?"

“Haha.” Zhong Tianque sneered and said, “If uncle really thinks I’m a fool, then we have nothing to talk about. Uncle, please go back.”

Dongguo Siqi understood what Zhong Tianque meant, sighed deeply, and said: "Your Highness, is the truth important? The Shen family is so powerful now, and our Dongguo family cannot afford to offend them."

"So, you let them kill your daughter and you did nothing?"

"Your Highness, people are made of flesh and blood. Seeing my daughter become like this, I wanted to fight them to the death. But you also know that we are weak and cannot win."

Zhong Tianque looked at Dongguo Siqi thoughtfully and asked, "Does uncle really think so?"

"If you tell even a single lie, God will strike you with lightning."

"No need to swear." Zhong Tianque waved his hand and said, "In this technological age, what's the point of swearing?"

"."

"We only care about human relationships and interests." Zhong Tianque looked at Dongguo Siqi and said, "Uncle is highly respected, and the Dongguo family is one of the most wealthy and powerful families in the empire."

"But the daughter of the Dongguo family can't just beat them up or kill them to silence them. She also has to protect their reputation and speak for them from their perspective."

"How can uncle not have any complaints in his heart? I believe he does. This is not only a blow to Chenxi's face, but also the face of the entire Dongguo family."

"As for me, let alone me, as the crown prince, I am just a puppet of the Shen family."

"Your Highness, please don't say that," Dongguo Siqi hurriedly dissuaded him.

"What? Am I wrong?" Zhong Tianque asked back, with a desperate attitude: "Ask anyone on the street, who doesn't know that I am a puppet of the Shen family?"

"I don't want to admit it either, but what's the point? Isn't that just deceiving yourself?"

"Your Highness, everything will be fine." Dongguo Siqi comforted him.

I thought, why is he telling me this?
Does he believe me so much?

What did I do? Just because Shen Leyou wanted to kill my daughter, he thought we were in the same group?

Isn’t this a bit naive?
"Yes, it will get better. This is what I think as well." Zhong Tianque nodded and said, "An old friend once told me that if you fight, you can win. If you try, you can succeed."

"So, I want to try, I want to fight for it. I want to live safely and with dignity, instead of being a puppet that can be beaten and killed by anyone."

Zhong Tianque looked at Dongguo Siqi with sparkling eyes and asked, "Uncle, what about you?"

"I want to live safely and with dignity," Dongguo Siqi said with a wry smile.

"Uncle, I have always considered you a family member in my heart. You should have seen that, right? But you have always considered me an outsider." "How could that be? This is a misunderstanding."

"I also hope it's a misunderstanding." Zhong Tianque nodded and said, "We have a long way to go, and time will tell."

"Yes, time will tell." Dongguo Siqi nodded, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Your Highness, what about you and Chenxi?"

"I'll talk to her when she calms down. After all, there is still affection between us."

"Yes, it's good to have feelings, it's good to have feelings."
-
Shen Wuxiang's face was extremely embarrassed.

Qian Taian is the number one strategist beside Zhong Tianque, his most loyal friend and his most trusted confidant.

Qian Taian changed his driver and was unwilling to accept the inspection of the palace guards. If that driver was the murderer of Shen Leyou, then what role did Zhong Tianque play in this?
"Pull out the surveillance video." Shen Wuxiang said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Shen Que responded and immediately made a phone call to make arrangements.

Soon, a multi-dimensional three-dimensional image of Qian Taian's car entering Fengming Palace appeared in front of Shen Wuxiang.

Shen Wuxiang observed the cab for a while and said, "Where does Qian Taian live? Fence off Qian Taian's yard for me."

"Yes." Shen Que took the order without hesitation.

When Shen Wuxiang rushed over, the courtyard where Qian Taian lived had been surrounded by people, and not even a fly could fly out.

Shen Que went forward and rang the doorbell, calling out, "Mr. Qian, Mr. Qian."

Qian Taian has a special identity and is only a suspect now, so he must be given a certain degree of respect.

Soon, the gate was opened from the inside.

Qian Taian, wearing pajamas, looked at Shen Que and others standing at the door with a blank face, and asked, "What happened? The military minister is here too?"

"Mr. Qian, we were worried that thieves had entered your yard, so we came to check." Shen Que said expressionlessly.

"No, no, there's an alarm system installed in the yard. How could I not know if a thief came in? I've been busy all day today and I've already gone to bed."

"It's better to be cautious. Mr. Qian, would it be convenient for us to go in and take a look?"

"It's so late." Qian Taian wanted to refuse.

"Search." Shen Wuxiang was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He waved his hand and a large number of tiger guards rushed in.

"Hey you guys"

Those people searched the building inside and out, upstairs and downstairs, but did not find any suspicious people.

"Mr. Qian, I heard you got a new driver?"

"Yeah, why are you asking about him so soon?"

"Show him."

“He lives in the backyard.”

The backyard is also called the miscellaneous yard, where servants and bodyguards live.

"bring it here."
