The Lu family and Madam Ye were here. Ye Maocai had also returned and was discussing something with Madam Ye. Both the Lu and Ye families were present. If something really happened to Emperor Yong Le here, the Lu and Ye families would not take the opportunity to do something disgraceful.
Looking around, some of the officials had already entered their tents and were chatting with their wives. They treated this hunt as a fun game. They were only waiting for Emperor Yong Le and Xie Jing Xing to bring back the lion as an offering for the ceremony.
Shen Miao stopped and looked at the sky. The stars were quiet and the summer breeze was refreshing.
But was this night really as peaceful as it looked?
Ji Furen called her, "Jiao Niang, it's cold outside. Come into the tent."
Shen Miao smiled and went in. Master Ji was not in the tent. The officials sat together in groups of three or five, drinking and chatting. It was a rare moment of leisure and they relaxed.
Ji Furen poured a cup of hot tea for Shen Miao and said, "Don't worry, they will be fine. But you, if you catch a cold and Jing Xing questions me, I will not be able to bear the responsibility. "
Shen Miao smiled and said, "He wouldn't dare." She then thought of something and hesitated before saying, "His Highness's relationship with the late Emperor did not seem to be very good?"
Hearing this, Ji Furen was stunned. She smiled and said, "Why did you suddenly ask about the late Emperor?"
Even though Ji Furen tried her best to conceal it, Shen Miao could still feel the flash of hatred in Ji Furen.
Shen Miao had always been curious about the late Emperor's role in Xie Jing Xing and Emperor Yong Le's lives in the Long Ye court. Since Ji Furen and the late Empress were sisters, she must have some understanding of the late Emperor. Could she get some information about the late Emperor from Ji Furen?
Shen Miao did not hide it and said, "I heard His Highness mention a little but it was not clear. I just felt it was strange."
Ji Furen looked at her in surprise and said, "I did not expect him to tell you about this." She then smiled and said, "In the end, this is Jing Xing's family matter. If I tell you, it will not be good. Another day, you can sit with Jing Xing and tell him honestly. Then you will know the details." This meant that she was not willing to say.
But because of Ji Furen's attitude, Shen Miao's heart confirmed her conjecture. Thinking about it, the late Emperor really did not get along with the Xie Jing Xing brothers. Looking at Ji Furen's attitude, she probably did not treat the late Empress' paternal family very well.
Thinking about all these in her heart, Ji Furen also sank into contemplation and only reacted after a long time before speaking to Shen Miao, "Ai. Everything is fine so there is no need to mention about these. Jiao Niang, you should also sleep for a while. What if they come back tomorrow morning and you are tired instead? What if you hurt your body? "
How would Shen Miao be able to sleep at this time? She had her mind on the matter and said, "I will sit for a while more. Anyway I cannot sleep."
Seeing her stubbornness, Madam Ji did not continue to persuade her. After talking for a while, Ji Furen felt tired. She was not as young as Shen Miao and could not stay up all night, so after a while she dozed off in the tent. Shen Miao covered her with the cloak and sat in the tent.
Who knew that she would sit for an entire night.
The morning light was bright and there were sounds of birds and beasts chirping coming from the distant forest. Master Ji was drinking with his colleagues at the other end yesterday and had already sobered up. He walked towards the tent and coincidentally met Shen Miao opening the tent door to leave. Unconsciously surprised, Shen Miao smiled at him and said, "YuMu has not woken up and is currently sleeping. YuFu's voice should be softer."
Master Ji nodded his head and said to her, "Go and eat something first."
