Just as Shen Miao was about to speak, she saw Xie Jing Xing pressing her waist and said, "Someone is coming." He then smiled at Shen Miao, "Farewell, Shen … Jiao Jiao." He turned and flew out of the window of the room.
This person walked out of the window as though he was walking through his own front door. Shen Miao was still in a daze when the door was pushed open and Tong Yao walked in. Seeing Shen Miao standing in the middle of the room, she asked curiously, "Why is Shen Young Lady not sitting?"
Shen Miao recovered to her senses and smiled before getting up and walking to one side to sit down. But her heart was still thinking about what Xie Jing Xing said just now.
Xie Jing Xing's commander request was to set off ten days later. Ten days later … Was it not exactly the same as three years later? Three years later would also be at this time, Xie Jing Xing would set off and then the Xie father and son of the Xie family would forever end in the history of Ming Qi.
The Xie family would be heading towards an inevitable ending like in the previous lifetime … What about the Shen family? What would happen to the Shen family? Xie Jing Xing gave her a hint before he left but that was not the ending that she wanted to see. If one were to retreat like this, one would be able to keep one's life but it was only to keep one's life. Without the protection of power, peaceful days would become a luxury. The path of the previous lifetime made Shen Miao clearly understand one point. Only by standing in a higher position than the enemy, would one be able to truly control one's fate.
However Xie Jing Xing's method was more than enough to defend but not enough to attack.
What method should be used to break it?
In the next few hours, Shen Miao kept thinking about this problem. The snacks on the table were not touched at all, the tea was not even drunk and she did not have the mood to look at those books. This made Female Official Tong Yao look at her frequently, not knowing how a young lady like Shen Miao could sit for an entire afternoon like an old man. Even those slow tempered Imperial Concubines in the Palace did not have this kind of patience.
One did not know how long they waited until a little eunuch came to invite them. Female Official Tong Yao then brought Shen Miao out and Luo Xue Yan was waiting for her at the door. When she saw Shen Miao, she barely squeezed out a smile and pulled Shen Miao out of the Palace to return to the residence.
Even though Luo Xue Yan tried her best to act as if nothing had happened, what kind of person was Shen Miao? She had long learnt to observe one's words and body language in the Inner Palace and could see Luo Xue Yan's worries. She said, "Mother, what did they say to you?"
Luo Xue Yan smiled, "Nothing much, just some matters of living in the Xiao Chun City. He probably hasn't been to the northwest before and wants to see for himself. "
Shen Miao asked, "Is it really like this? But if that's the case, why did he specially call mother into the palace to talk for so long? Isn't that too strange? "
Luo Xue Yan touched Shen Miao's head, "What is strange about this. The Imperial Concubines in the palace can't move around, so their days are a bit boring. Mother will talk to them about distant matters to relieve their boredom. They will also be a bit happier. "Even so, Luo Xue Yan was still somewhat worried. Although she did not participate in court affairs, it did not mean that she was ignorant of the dangers of the court. Today, she dealt with it carefully, but it was precisely because she talked with the two concubines about daily life that she was even more puzzled.
There were no fools in the palace. Everyone was smart. But in today's conversation, it did not involve military affairs at all and did not even mention the Shen family army. Instead he only talked about the commoners of the Xiao Chun City which made Luo Xue Yan puzzled.
Those who fought had an intuition for danger. She obviously felt that danger was approaching, but did not know where the problem was. Luo Xue Yan felt somewhat depressed.
But she was afraid of scaring Shen Miao and did not intend to talk about these matters with Shen Miao. Shen Miao also did not ask her again. When they returned to the residence, the sky was already nearing evening. Shen Qiu and Shen Xin had been waiting at the residence's doors and upon seeing both of them return, they were relieved.
