Shen Miao nodded. As she spoke, she saw Nanny Tao walking over with a young palace maid. Nanny Tao said, “Consort Hui and Consort Ning are arguing in the garden. It’s getting serious now. Your Majesty, do you want to go over and take a look?”
Over the past few days, when Consort Jing was pregnant, the other women in the palace began to lose their patience. Initially, no one had children, so it did not matter if they did not get the emperor’s favor. Now, it was different. When one person had something others didn’t, they would be jealous. Everyone had selfish motives, and there were many more conflicts than before. In addition, many officials had the idea of sending their daughters to the harem. The harem was no longer as peaceful as before. Every few days, there would be some trouble. Although it was not a big deal, it was still troublesome.
Empress Xiande looked displeased. No matter how good-tempered she was, she would always be annoyed with such occurrences.
“Your Majesty, go and take a look first.” Shen Miao said, “Don’t worry about me.” She had no intention of following Empress Xiande to watch the show. This harem in Long Ye had nothing to do with her. Empress Xiande had no choice but to stand up and say to Shen Miao, “I’ll go to the garden first. Rest here and drink tea. If you find it boring, take a walk around. As long as you don’t go too far, it’s fine.’
Shen Miao had Ba Jiao and Hui Xiang by her side. They both knew martial arts, so she was not afraid of anything happening. Moreover, there were guards everywhere in the palace, so it was naturally safe.
Shen Miao nodded, and Empress Xiande walked away with Nanny Tao. Shen Miao held the teacup, reminiscing the words Empress Xiande said.
She had a feeling that there was a hidden meaning in Empress Xiande’s words. Previously, she had thought about it. If Emperor Yong Le really could not live for long, who would take over the Daliang Dynasty after Emperor Yong Le died? Previously, Consort Jing was not pregnant, so he probably did not intend to let his children inherit the throne. Moreover, Emperor Yong Le was suffering from the aftereffect of the poison, so the children he had might not be healthy. This way, Xie Jingxing was the only one with the royal bloodline who was qualified to inherit the throne of the Daliang Dynasty.
Did Xie Jingxing become the emperor in her previous life? As far as Shen Miao could remember, when she died and Ming Qi was destroyed, Emperor Yong Le was still alive. Xie Jingxing was just leading troops to conquer the world.
Then, was Xie Jingxing going to be the emperor in this life? If Xie Jingxing became the emperor, she would be the empress. Since ancient times, there had never been a case where there was only one woman in the harem. She was certain that she would not tolerate her husband having another woman. Once that day came, all Shen Miao could do was cut ties with Xie Jingxing.
However, a good fate was not easy to come by. She did not want to cut off the fate that she had accumulated for two lifetimes.
She was a little frustrated. She stood up and planned to walk to the pond at the side to enjoy the breeze. Ba Jiao and Hui Xiang followed her.
Under the dense trees in the garden, the path was winding. One was connected to the other, and it sprawled out in all directions. Every corner had a new scenery, making it very elegant.
However, Shen Miao was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

After walking around for a while, she planned to return. She guessed that Empress Xiande would be back soon. Before she left, she casually glanced at the forest at the side.
It was this glance.
Shen Miao suddenly stopped!
She stared at the side and felt that the blood in her entire body was cold and hot. It rushed to her head and she almost lost her balance. Ba Jiao and Hui Xiang also looked to the side nervously, but they did not find anything.
Shen Miao suddenly pushed open the bushes in front of her and ran to the path at the side.
“Madam!” Ba Jiao and Hui Xiang were shocked and quickly followed.
Shen Miao ran very quickly. Looking carefully, her hands were trembling violently, and her lips were pale. Her eyes were wide open, and she was extremely nervous.
She saw it, the silhouette of the young man’s face under the shadow of the trees. He had a shy smile and a familiar expression. It was Fu Ming!
It was her son, Fu Ming!
Shen Miao ran with all her might, but the roads in the royal garden led to different places. The trees were dense, and the young man disappeared in an instant, almost making her think that she was hallucinating.
There was no path ahead. There was only a lake, a rockery, and a pavilion.
Shen Miao could not find the young man. Hui Xiang and Ba Jiao followed behind. When they caught up with Shen Miao, Shen Miao was standing rooted to the ground, deep in thought, looking in a daze.
Before the three of them could do anything, they suddenly heard a woman scream in front of them, followed by the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
Plop!
