The timing of the previous few postings is getting very weird… I think it is because of the different time zones that I was in when I scheduled the posts… I hope this one get posted correctly
Shen Miao did not speak.
Xie Jing Xing did not release her and locked her in his arms.
On the journey back in the carriage, Xie Jing Xing watched as Shen Miao did not speak and said, “Let the Mo Yu Army capture that fellow and lock him up for a day or two, then he would tell us who is the mastermind.”
He was talking about Ye Hong Guang. With regards to Ye Hong Guang’s performance today at Jing Hua Palace, only fools would not believe if one said that there was no one behind him telling him to slander Shen Miao.
“Whichever eye you use, I will dig that eye out.”
He dared to even speak of such treats brazenly, not caring of Lu Zheng Xuan’s and Emperor Yong Le’s presences. Lu Zheng Xuan was so angry that he almost looked up to Heavens. Xie Jing Xing clearly meant to make Ye Hong Guang change his statement in front of him! How could someone be that overbearing!
At the end of the rock garden, there was a long staircase and at the bottom of the steps, there was a female. There were large patches of blood pools below the female, making Shen Miao and the two maids behind stunned. When they went up forward to take a look, they were surprised that it was Consort Jing.
Consort Jing was holding on to her abdomen at the moment and her entire face was filled with sweat, while her face was as pale as paper. She was curled up to a ball and was moaning painfully. Shen Miao went up to take a look but saw that there were traces of scuffs on the steps, indicating that Lu Jing fell down from this staircase.
Those words had the meaning of giving serious consideration to Shen Miao’s words. Shen Miao did not dare to be vague and thought about it before speaking, “Now that the ending of the Lu family is a foregone conclusion, the child in Consort Jing’s womb would not be able to turn the tide. Since the Emperor and His Highness have already made a decision, everything else will fall naturally.”
“How about that child?” Empress Xian De took a sip of tea and asked, “Do you think that child should be kept or not?”
“One heard that Prince Rui has a lot of feelings for Rui WangFei currently.” Ye Ke said, “A few days ago, one heard that both of them toured Long Ye hands to hands. It can be seen that Prince Rui love Shen Miao to the bones. Speaking of which, that Shen Miao’s appearance is not as good as yours so one do not know how could another party be fascinated by her.” Ye Ke looked towards Ye Mei, “Does Older Sister still wants to enter the residence of Prince Rui.”
Ye Mei was somewhat upset. She was totally unable to showcase her superiority in front of Xie Yan. When she was in Qin province previously, she would be invincible to whichever man that she wanted to make use of. However when facing Xie Yuan, she always felt that there was nowhere to start. Xie Yuan did not pay any attention to her and Ye Mei could feel in the gaze that Xie Jing Xing use when he looked at her, it was no different from looking at Lu Wan-er or any other daughters of Great Liang officials. She felt that she could not subdue Xie Yuan at all because Xie Yuan did not view her as a female.
Xie Jing Xing saw that her expression was different so he lifted her chin and looked carefully, “Oh?” He then continued, “So moved to such a state? Why not repay me with yourself?”
Shen Miao pushed him and scolded, “What nonsense are you spouting. How do you plan to deal with the Ye family?”
The life of Empress Jing Xian was truly legendary. From a pampered Young Lady to an Empress, experiencing the departing hearts between husband and wife, being framed and separation from one’s child. At the end she even gave a tooth for a tooth and an eye for and eye, and cleaned up the entire Inner Palace of Great Liang so thoroughly, which made one delighted. She was the kind of person that would be unwilling to fall in the face of adversity and if there were any regrets, it would be the first that Xie Chi’s poison could not be cured and the second, she was unable to have a reunion with Xie Yuan.
Both brothers, Xie Chi and Xie Yuan were also more like Empress Xiao. Empress Xiao was originally a great beauty that everyone sought for and it was not over to say that she was absolutely beautiful. Not only did Xie Chi and Xie Yuan inherited Empress Xiao’s beauty, they also inherited her means and methods. As Xi Jing was in the Imperial family, there were still some shadow of Emperor Xiao Wu, like when engaging with politics and balancing the powers at both ends, he could not help but relied the power of marriage. However Xie Yuan was different. He was far away in Ming Qi and was on opposing side with the Imperial family of Ming Qi. There were no traces of Xie Yi Long’s shadow and he did accomplish the expectations that Empress Xiao had of him. Even though he was not considered a good person, he was definitely not a despicable person.
