Chapter 1087: Campaign (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Two days after Ye Mei and her brother escaped, Emperor Yong Le convicted the Ye family of colluding with Lu Zhengchun and participating in the rebellion. The entire Ye family was wiped out. It was easier to deal with the Ye family than the Lu family. The Lu family was the Ye family’s backer. If the Lu family fell, the Ye family would not be able to cause any trouble. Even though Ye
Maocai had many connections and followers when he was alive, with Emperor Yong Let s ruthless methods, everyone was afraid of him and did not dare to be as rude as before.
Right after conviction, Ye Maocai was pulled out to be executed. Speaking of which, Ye Maocai was not all that innocent. From that stack of things Shen Miao obtained from Ye Mei, she chose something related to the royal family and handed it to Empress Xiande. In order to restrain the royal family, Ye Maocai secretly did a lot of things. This became important evidence to convict the Ye family.
After beheading the Ye family in public, the royal family had consolidated its authority.
The Black Feather Army, which followed Ye Mei and Jin Xinming, sent back news from time to time. Most people believed that the siblings of the Ye family fell to their death.
In the eyes of the outside world, everyone from the Ye family was dead, but apart from one person, it was Ye Hongguang. Shen Miao asked MO Qing to take care of him. However, Ye Hongguang had yet to wake up. Gao Yang said that whether he could wake up or not was up to fate.
Xie Jingxing returned on a rainy night.
The autumn rain caused the temperature to plummet. Shen Miao was reading under the light. The raindrops made a small sound when they hit the window, and the weather was gradually getting cold. The tea on the table quickly turned cold.
The door creaked open, and the wind blew in. Shen Miao turned around and saw Xie Jingxing closing the door and walking in. His clothes were a little wet from the rain. He took off his outer clothes. Seeing Shen Miao staring at him in a daze, he smiled. He walked to her side and pinched her face.
Shen Miao pushed his hand away. “Why are you gone for so long? Why didn’t you even send a message?”
Xie Jingxing had been gone for a few days without a word. Even though Shen
Miao had a calm personality, she was still a little angry. He had to at least send a message back to tell her that he was safe. No one in the mansion knew where he went. It was really infuriating.
Xie Jingxing coaxed her. “My brother instructed me to do something urgent.” He put his arm around Shen Miao’s shoulder and said with a faint smile, “If I had known that my wife missed me so much, I would have come back earlier.” “You might as well not come back.” Shen Miao was still angry.
Xie Jingxing thought for a moment and said, “How about this? In order to make it up to you, I’ll be at your mercy tonight and won’t struggle.”
Shen Miao couldn’t help but chuckle and say, “Get lost.”
Seeing her smile, Xie Jingxing said, “Not angry with me anymore? When I came back, I heard something.” He looked at Shen Miao. “Did you let Ye Mei escape?”
“Not exactly.” Shen Miao said, “She’s going to Ming Qi with the things she stole from Ye Maocai. I think she’s going to rely on it to seek benefits in Ming Qi. I swapped her things with fake secrets and wrong defensive maps. I think they’ll be more useful to her. Who knows. She might even be able to become the empress with what I gave her.”
Xie Jingxing was stunned for a moment before understanding what she meant. He blinked.. “Madam, this move of yours is so vicious!”
