Life seemed to be especially peaceful, but no one knew if there was something else lurking under the peace.
Over the past few days, everyone in Prince Ding's mansion was on tenterhooks, especially the few trusted aides under Fu Xiuyi. They were even more careful when doing things. A few days ago, Pei Lang, who Fu Xiuyi valued the most, was arrested and locked up in a private prison. No one knew the actual reason, but some servants who knew one thing or two revealed that it was because Pei Lang was a spy planted by Fu Xiuyi's opponent.
Before this, Pei Lang was commonly regarded as being the most talented among the aides. Although the others were jealous that Fu Xiuyi valued him, Pei Lang had indeed helped Fu Xiuyi solve many problems in the past two years. Fu Xiuyi arrested him just like that. The night before he was arrested, Pei Lang was still playing chess and drinking tea with Fu Xiuyi.
