Just as Shen Miao was about to retort, Ba Jiao’s voice came from outside.

“Master, Madam, the carriage is ready. Should we set off now?”

Shen Miao let go and said, “You are dead tonight!”

Shen Miao said to Ba Jiao, “Yes, we are coming.”

They were going to the palace. Over the past few days, Xie Jingxing had been going to the palace frequently. He probably went to discuss with Emperor Yong Le about how to deal with the Lu family. The Lu family probably felt threatened and began to mobilize their troops. On one hand, they felt that since Consort Jing was pregnant, Emperor Yong Le would definitely not do anything to the Lu family. On the other hand, they were suspicious and firmly believed that the royal family had begun to take action.

In the letter left behind by Pei Lang, Shen Miao also guessed the current and future situation of Ming Qi while helping the Shen family escape from Fu Xiuyi’s grip.

Today, Shen Miao planned to enter the palace to see Empress Xiande. Coincidentally, Xie Jingxing was also going to the palace, so the couple went together.

As soon as they arrived at the palace, Xie Jingxing went to the imperial study to see Emperor Yong Le. Shen Miao was going to see Empress Xiande, and Nanny Tao led the way. Seeing that there was carpet on the way, Shen Miao felt a little strange and asked what was going on. Nanny Tao said, “This was instructed by Consort Jing. She’s afraid that she will hurt the child in her stomach if she falls. These days, everyone in the palace has been on tenterhooks. The empress is kind and can’t be bothered to argue with her, but she would not stop causing a ruckus in the harem.”

Shen Miao raised an eyebrow and asked, “Then what’s His Majesty’s attitude?”

Nanny Tao smiled strangely. “His Majesty hasn’t changed his attitude towards Consort Jing because of this child. Consort Jing is angry because of this, so she is kicking up a fuss.” She thought of something and said, “Today, the children of the Ye family also entered the palace. The young lady of the Ye family even went to pay Consort Jing a visit. She’s probably in the Jinghua Palace. When you entered the palace just now, didn’t you see the Ye family?”

The Ye family? Shen Miao shook her head. “I didn’t see them.” However, she was deep in thought. Why did Ye Mei and Ye Ke come to see Consort Jing? The Lu family and the Ye family were not particularly close to each other to begin with, so why would they suddenly come to see Consort Jing now? She was afraid that they might be secretly planning something.

She vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she was here to see Empress Xiande, so it was not appropriate for her to talk about this with Nanny Tao. With questions in her mind, she went to the royal garden.

Empress Xiande was not in Weiyang Palace. The summer was approaching the end, and the weather was cool. It was pleasant to enjoy the breeze in the royal garden. When Shen Miao saw Empress Xiande, she was making tea. Empress Xiande waved at Shen Miao and invited her to come and taste the tea.

“This tea is found among the tributes this year. I like it very much. Try it,” Empress Xiande said with a smile. She seemed to like tea very much, and she was as mellow as good tea..
