On the way back, Shen Miao thought about what Empress Xiande said and her heart could not calm down for a long time.
In the end, Jing Fei and her child were 'safe' and Empress Xian De did not get into any trouble because of this. It seemed to be a very happy ending but Shen Miao felt that something was not right. When they returned to the residence of Prince Rui, it was almost dawn and it would be very late if they were to sleep now. Moreover Shen Miao was not in the mood to rest.
When Jing Zhe and Gu Yu saw this, they instructed the small kitchen to cook some sweet soup for both of them. Shen Miao and Xie Jing Xing returned to the room and closed the door before sitting at the table. She looked at Xie Jing Xing and said, "Now that Consort Jing is pregnant, what should the Lu family do?"
Logically, Emperor Wen Yong Le didn't have any other children so the child Jing Fei was pregnant with was precious. If she was pregnant with a son, then if there were no accidents, the position of the future heir apparent would naturally belong to the child in Jing Fei's belly. Logically speaking, that should be the case. But Empress Xiande's words were very disapproving. This made people think deeply. Unless Emperor Yong Le had other children, why would he be like this? The Lu Family had nothing to fear because of Jing Fei. Was Yong Le Emperor's plan to deal with the Lu Family going to be stopped because of this?
Shen Miao felt that it was impossible.
When Xie Jing Xing heard it, he lightly said, "Imperial Older Brother has already made a move against the Lu family. There is no difference whether he is alive or not."
The meaning in these words was that the child in Jing Fei's womb was one thing and the ending of the Lu Family was another. At most, Jing Fei would temporarily keep her life because of her child. The Lu Family would still fall according to the original plan.
Shen Miao frowned, "I spoke to Her Ladyship and felt that it was somewhat strange. One heard that Her Ladyship had a miscarriage and it was because of Consort Jing. We can't say if this was intentional, but no matter how magnanimous the Empress is, how could she safely watch Jing fei live well for so many years? "
Xie Jing Xing was pouring tea for her, but his actions paused when he heard this.
Shen Miao stared at him, "Tell me honestly, why does His Majesty not have an heir until now? Is it intentional or is it a last resort?"
She thought about it and felt that it was too strange that Emperor Yongle did not have any children. Every emperor, regardless of whether they were wise or incapable, hoped to have as many children as possible. The more princes there were, the more balanced they would be, and the more stable Dynasty's situation would be. Even for a person like Fu Xiu Yi, he never lacked heirs. Previously Shen Miao found it strange that Emperor Yong Le's political achievements were so outstanding and the people lived and worked in peace, so how could the court still be unstable until now. Later when she saw his son, she understood. This was because Emperor Yong Le did not have any children. Just this point alone was enough to make the courtiers complain. Speaking of which, Emperor Yong Le was already very impressive. If it was an ordinary Emperor who did not have children, not to mention maintaining the balance for so many years, he would have long been stripped of his imperial robes and thrown off the stage to become an ordinary person.
Xie Jing Xing then looked at Shen Miao after a long time and his gaze was somewhat strange, "You really want to know?"
"After you returned from the imperial hunting grounds, when you were unconscious, I had a premonition that some things would change, but at that time I had just arrived at Long Ye and did not know much about the situation of the Great Liang, so I could not help much. So other than going to the Phoenix Head Manor to look for that 'expert', I could not help with anything else." Shen Miao said, "I do not like to be so passive. If there is a day that you also have something big to do, I hope that I will not be useless. But I do not know anything, so even if I have the heart, how can I help? "
Xie Jing Xing looked at her for a while and suddenly sighed. He was half gratified and half teasing as he touched her head, "Our family's Jiao Jiao is not only good at calculating people, but also considerate."
