Now that he thought about it, the two teacups on the table were a little strange.
Shen Miao shook her head and threw the messy thoughts to the back of her mind. No matter if there was anyone behind the screen or who it was, she had already said what she wanted to say to Su Ming Feng and with her understanding of Su Ming Feng, this matter should be successful.
After sitting in the carriage, Gu Yu asked, "Young Lady, will Eldest Young Master Su help Master and Furen?"
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu were outside and did not know what Shen Miao and Su Ming Feng were talking about and only thought that Shen Miao was asking Su Ming Feng for help. However, the relationship between the Su Family and the Shen Family had always been like that, so he was somewhat worried.
Shen Miao nodded her head, "I will."
In his previous life, the entire Su Clan was beheaded because of secretly selling soldiers and horses. Although they were still part of the Tian Clan, they couldn't tolerate the Count of Ping Nan, an established aristocratic family, but they still had to put on a good show. Other than the evidence of selling military horses, there was another matter that was also recorded as a crime. At the beginning of the sixty-ninth year of Ming Qi, the military horses that the Count of Ping Nan, Su Yu, was in charge of had an illness and even caused a small horse plague. It was just that the Count of Ping Nan found a veterinarian from the countryside to control the epidemic. Other than the confidants of the military horses, no one else knew about it. Therefore, no one knew about it. Later on, when Count Pingnan's property was confiscated, this matter was also exposed.
Shen Miao was still the Empress and had carefully looked through the dossier on the Count of Ping Nan's crimes, thus she knew where the veterinarian was staying. In fact, even if Shen Miao did not look for Su Ming Feng today, Su Yu would be able to find the vet to control the epidemic when Xiao Bo's horse plague spread. The reason why Shen Miao did not let Su Ming Feng tell Su Yu about this matter was to make use of the time difference.
Su Ming Feng used other reasons to request Su Yu to submit the memorial and she also used this condition which was just right.
It's just that … Shen Miao's face sunk. Before Shen Yuan died, he had given the evidence of the Shen family defying the Emperor's orders to Fu Xiu Yi so it was definitely not complete. Fu Xiu Yi actually started to deal with the Shen family now and this made Shen Miao feel a trace of nervousness. The current her did not have a complete trump card to contend against Fu Xiu Yi. The time was not ripe and there was no opportunity, but it really answered to Xie Jing Xing's words — Retreat.
However, how to retreat was also a problem. To retreat was to retreat, and to retreat in order to advance was also to retreat. What she should be worried about now was how to get out of this unscathed after arranging everything.
Because she could not go out for too long and arouse suspicion, Shen Miao quickly returned to the Shen residence. In the Shen residence, everyone saw her return and thought that Shen Miao had complained to Feng An Ning. Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan did not show any signs of returning from the Palace. Most likely Shen Gui and Shen Wan had said something as the rest of the Shen family looked like they were watching a show.
She was already used to the Shen family treating the First household as enemies, so Shen Miao did not even look at them and headed back to the Western courtyard. Jing Zhe and Gu Yu thought that Shen Miao's mind was heavy tonight and would most likely sit in front of the table for the entire night like yesterday. Who knew that Shen Miao actually went to bed early after washing up, causing the few maids to look at each other in dismay and became more worried for Shen Miao.
Shen Miao laid on the bed and looked at the four scented sachets hanging on the carved bedpost before slowly closing her eyes.
She had done everything she could. The only thing she could do now was to wait.
Wait for the Su family to unite with the other courtiers and wait for … Emperor Wen Hui's suspicions to flare up.
….
In the Palace. In Shu Fang Palace. It was different from the other magnificent palaces as Shu Fang Palace was considered simple. Even the decorations were just some flowers and plants or paintings. Consort Dong Shu was sitting on the soft couch listening to a tune. The one playing the tune was a young female with a round face and was not considered very beautiful, but the tune she played was rather lively. Consort Dong Shu listened with a smile. Consort Dong Shu was not considered very beautiful and among the thousands of beauties, she seemed much more ordinary. Even though she was beautiful, she was gentle and did not have any temper. No wonder she was the most unremarkable of the four consorts.
