Lu Zhengchun looked at Empress Xian De and held a breath in his heart. In the beginning, when Emperor Yong Le favoured Jing Fei, they had hoped that Jing Fei would replace Empress Xian De's position. But Empress Xian De's usual actions were not something that could be used against her. After so many years, they had not succeeded. Lu Jing had given pillow talk to Emperor Yong Le countless times but in the end, Emperor Yong Le did not have the intention to abolish the Empress. It was not easy for Lu Jing to conceive the dragon seed and it was at such a delicate time. They thought that they could turn the tables but who knew that the weather was unpredictable and all their efforts were for naught.
In reality, Lu Zhengchun himself knew that Lu Jing was already dead and it was too late to say anything now. But he was unwilling, and hoped that Emperor Yong Le could compensate him with something. Today, he had pestered Emperor Yong Le endlessly, and although he was angry, it wasn't because of his daughter's tragic death, but because he felt pity for his grandson. Xie Jing Xing's sudden appearance made Lu Zhengchun put away his arrogance. In terms of viciousness, this Prince Rui was even more vicious.
Knowing that there was no gain today, Lu Zhengchun unwillingly said, "This subject obeys the Emperor."
At the side, a murderous intent flashed through Emperor Yong Le's eyes.
The Lu couple left. From entering the palace to leaving the palace, they did not even look at the dead Jing Fei once, as though she was not their own daughter.
After they left, Emperor Yong Le said, "You all should also return."
Empress Xian De looked strangely at Emperor Yong Le. This Ye Mei and Ye Hong Guang, one was with Jing Fei at that time. Even though there were talented people in the small building as witnesses, it could not wash away all the suspicions. The other one directly slandered Shen Miao. Even if these two people were not the murderers, they would definitely not be spared. But Emperor Yong Le did not seem to have any intentions of pursuing it. Empress Xian De was puzzled but saw Emperor Yong Le's body move imperceptibly. Her heart jumped but she did not care about anything else and immediately said, "Not bad, go back now."
Xie Jing Xing's brows furrowed but he did not say anything. He only looked coldly at Ye Mei who was thanking him and the manservant who was pushing Ye Hong Guang. He slowly stood up and hurriedly left. He said, "Since there's nothing else, I will take my leave first." Xie Jing Xing never hid his emotions in front of Emperor Yong Le. Obviously, he was not happy with Emperor Yong Le's punishment.
Shen Miao and Xie Jing Xing left Jin Hua Palace together and as they were walking out of the Palace, they coincidentally met Ye Mei and her brother. Shen Miao was slightly startled. Ye Hongguang suddenly ordered the manservant who was pushing him to stop. He turned around and looked at Shen Miao as if he had something to say.
Xie Jing Xing's face immediately became ugly. He had classified all the Ye family's people as dangerous people. If dangerous people were to get close to Shen Miao, what if something happened? Thus, he followed closely behind, the dagger in his sleeve unsheathed without batting an eyelid.
Shen Miao watched as the youth stopped in front of her. Not far away, Ye Mei was looking over with a nervous expression. It seemed that she wanted to stop Ye Hongguang's actions, but with Tie Yi and Cong Yang blocking her, she didn't dare move.
Ye Hongguang raised his head and looked at her with a red face. He seemed to be very ashamed as he said, "Sorry." He seemed to want to say something but hesitated for a moment. In the end, he did not say anything. He looked at Shen Miao again before pushing the wheelchair and left.
Xie Jing Xing's eyebrows raised as if he did not understand what Ye Hongguang meant. Shen Miao looked at his back and her expression became somewhat complicated.
On the carriage back, Xie Jing Xing saw that Shen Miao did not speak at all and said, "Let the Mo Yu Army capture that brat to the tower prison and lock him up for a day or two. After he is honest, he will then explain who the person behind him is."
