Chapter 1017: Leaving (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The fact that Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing made peace put everyone in Prince Rui’s mansion in a good mood.
What was a blessing in disguise was that not only did the two of them make peace, but they also seemed to have started to sleep in the same room. This was simply beyond everyone’s expectations, especially Uncle Tang. Every day, he made nourishing soup for Xie Jingxing, making Shen Miao quite embarrassed.
Xie Jingxing began to investigate the matter of the Ye family. However, what was strange was that the siblings were indeed born and raised in the Daliang Dynasty and had also grown up in Qinzhou. Shen Miao did not know why either. In the end, she thought that probably a lot of things in this life had changed. For example, Fu Xiuyi’s luck, and the identities of Consort Mei and her brother.
!!
However, no matter how much the trajectory of this life had changed, there was one thing that would not change. Ye Mei was her enemy in her previous life.
Pei Lang was also gradually recovering. Shen Miao went to take a look at him once, but she did not enter the house. She only looked from afar. Seeing that he could get out of the bed, she left. Shen Miao had mixed feelings about Pei Lang. After knowing the full story of her previous life, she didn’t know how to face Pei Lang.
Therefore, she didn’t take the initiative to talk to him.
Xie Jingxing was very satisfied with this. He said that she was much more sensible than before and wanted to “reward” her, making Shen Miao listless all day long. It was as if he wanted to make up for all the lost time.
The situation in Long Ye looked stable, but the danger lurking in the dark slowly started to reveal itself. Ever since Emperor Yong Le came back from the royal hunt, the trap he had set up to deal with the Lu family began to work. The Lu family was busy counteracting the royal family, and Xie Jingxing was also involved.
Shen Miao didn’t have a relaxing time either, because letters came from Ming
There were two letters. One was written by Luo Xueyan, saying that everything was fine with them now. She also instructed Shen Miao not to take it lying down if she was bullied in Long Ye. She also instructed Xie Jingxing to treat her respectfully and support her.
The other letter was from Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu’s letter was different from Luo Xueyan’s. When Shen Miao got married back then, she had once told Shen Qiu something. Although she did not make it explicit, she had hinted that Shen Qiu had to be wary of the royal family of Ming Qi. The royal family of Ming Qi was a mess. What the Shen family had to do was to protect themselves. No matter what, they had to keep a distance from the royal family. Otherwise, they would be dragged to the bottom of the abyss.
This time, in Shen Qiu’s letter, he talked about the situation in Ming Qi.
It had been more than half a year since Shen Miao left the capital. The situation in the capital was very subtle, and there would be changes every day. What half a year of changes amounted to was enough to shock Shen Miao.
Emperor Wen Hui was seriously ill.
First, Emperor Wen Hui coughed, and then his condition worsened. Now, he even reached the point where he could not go to court. Occasionally, when he went to court, he would be in low spirits and would leave after hearing a few words. There were even rumors in the palace that Emperor Wen Hui was already at the end of his rope. He would probably die in less than a year.
When Shen Miao saw this, she only smiled. How long could Emperor Wen Hui live? Was it really just a year? Shen Miao did not believe it. Anyway, in her previous life, Emperor Wen Hui did not die so early. It was hard to say if there was anything fishy about Emperor Wen Hui’s sudden illness. The royal family of Ming Qi was complicated to begin with, and the princes were not as simple as the ones in Long Ye. In order to obtain the throne, many lives had to be sacrificed. A father was nothing..
