And today, even though Empress Xian De and Emperor Yongle unexpectedly let her off, Shen Miao did not investigate further. But the more Ye Mei thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong and suspected that they had a deeper conspiracy. Taking a step back, Ye Mao Cai would know about this matter sooner or later. She had mistakenly killed Imperial Concubine Jing and caused trouble. Ye Mei really did not know how such a shrewd person like Ye Mao Cai would treat her.
Ye Mei's heart was filled with anger, fear and frustration. Long Ye seemed to be her nemesis. When she was in Qin Zhou, she could get whatever she wanted, but in Long Ye, she repeatedly ran into a wall. She originally thought that she would have a meteoric rise in the future if she connected with the Ye Family. In the end, not only was the Ye Family's situation unclear, she had also offended someone she should not have offended.
She could not stay in Long Ye and had to leave the Ye Family. Ye Mei's heart suddenly had this thought.
She subconsciously glanced at Ye Hongguang. Ye Hongguang had his head lowered as he silently pulled at the fur of the blanket on his knees and did not see her gaze.
Ye Mei's eyes suddenly turned cold.
To escape from the Ye Family, to escape from Long Ye, it was not an easy matter for her now. It was easy to get on the boat but hard to get off, and there was also Ye Mao Cai watching.
But if she continued to stay here, Ye Mei had a feeling that she would not even know how she died.
She had to properly discuss this with Ye Ke.
… …
Because of the delay of Imperial Concubine Jing's matter, it was already late when Shen Miao and Xie Jing Xing returned to Prince Rui's residence. After bathing and eating, Shen Miao sorted out some letters on the table as she said to Xie Jing Xing, "I did not expect that it was like this."
Xie Jing Xing's subordinates had come to deliver a message. They probably had figured out what had happened in the palace today. They probably guessed that Ye Mei had mistakenly killed Lu Jing. Shen Miao shook her head and said, "The Lu Family probably knows that Ye Mei was the one who did it. They secretly hate her and will not show it."
Xie Jing Xing leaned on the couch as he watched her tidying up and said, "En."
Shen Miao asked, "Then what will the Emperor do when he finds out the truth? Will he punish Ye Mei? "
"So what if we can't find out?" Xie Jing Xing said nonchalantly, "Even if Ye Mei didn't kill by accident, the Ye Family wouldn't have kept her alive. Even if Ye Mei did kill by accident, Ye Maocai wouldn't feel bad about sacrificing a daughter that the Ye Family took in halfway." Xie Jing Xing shrugged. "Who cares about Concubine Jing and the child in her belly?"
Shen Miao sighed. Emperor Yongle hated the Ye Clan to the core. He had no expectations for the child that Lu Jing tried so hard to conceive, so he naturally wouldn't care. Perhaps Lu Jing's death would even make Emperor Yongle feel relieved. He didn't love Concubine Jing, but she was still his own flesh and blood. How could he face his own son when the Ye Clan fell? Of course, this child was born with a congenital deficiency, so living in this world was a torture.
The heavens had made the choice for him. Perhaps everything was predestined.
"Speaking of which, when I entered the palace today, something happened to Lu Jing. The Emperor came but you were not around. What did you do?" Shen Miao asked. She asked naturally as Xie Jing Xing was a very frank person. As long as Shen Miao asked about the Imperial Family's secrets, he would answer.
But today, he looked at Shen Miao and did not speak.
Shen Miao was originally waiting for him to answer but seeing that he did not respond, her hands paused and saw Xie Jing Xing smiling at her. His gaze was very gentle, as if he saw her as something precious.
Shen Miao was stunned and Xie Jing Xing's lips curled up, "Come here."
She was stunned and seeing Xie Jing Xing's determined look, she stood up and walked to the side of the bed before asking, "What's the matter?" Xie Jing Xing grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his embrace.
Shen Miao was caught off guard as she laid in his embrace and struggled to prop herself up. Xie Jing Xing did not let her move and rested his chin on her head as he lightly said, "I once asked you a question. Do you still want to be the Empress? Do you remember?"
"I remember." Shen Miao paused before replying.
"Then I will ask you again now." He said.
"I don't want to." Shen Miao said, "My wish is very simple, to protect my loved ones and to live well. Being the Empress is good but I don't like it. "
"What should I do?" He said with some distress, "I also don't like it but now I have to do it."
"The Head of the Gao family said that Imperial Brother will not live for more than half a year. Today, he wrote the edict for succession. "
"I don't believe in fate but there is no time." He sighed softly and placed Shen Miao's hand in his palm.
"I know you don't like it but can you bear with it for me? At least I can promise you that I will never let you become an Empress. "
"You will become the only woman of the Emperor of Da Liang. The price you have to pay is," He leaned close to Shen Miao's ear and ruthlessly said, "In this life, there is no way back."
