Venomous Empress Reborn

736 Bed Bam (3)

Shen Miao knew that she was thinking of Xie Jingxing again and did not know how to comfort her, so she said, “Young Marquis will not be happy to see you like this.”

“If he really cared about me, his aunt, he wouldn’t be so heartless as to die.” Princess Rong Xin put away the sadness on her face and patted Shen Miao’s hand. “I’ve already heard that my brother wants to matchmake you. I came to the palace today to talk about this with my brother. Shen Miao, you don’t want to marry the crown prince, right?”

Shen Miao did not expect Princess Rong Xin to want to speak up for her. For a moment, she was stunned. In her previous life, she tried her best to please Princess Rong Xin, but all she got was Princess Rong Xin’s disdain. In this life, because of Xie Jingxing, Princess Rong Xin changed her opinion of her and was even willing to help her. Although Shen Miao knew that Princess Rong Xin could not change Emperor Wen Hui’s mind, she would remember this favor. Shen Miao said, “I don’t want to marry into the East Palace, but Princess, you don’t have to force yourself. Everything in the world is predestined. Let nature take its course.”

Princess Rong Xin smiled and said, “Your take on the world is surprisingly mature.”

She continued, “It’s getting late, so I won’t talk to you anymore. Let’s go over there first. I’ll get a palace maid to send you out.”

…

Shen Miao was sent out of the palace gate by Princess Rong Xin’s maid. Jingzhe and Gu Yu, who were waiting outside, were the first to come up to her. They first sized up Shen Miao from head to toe. After confirming that Shen Miao was safe and sound, they said, “Miss, we’re scared to death. After waiting for so long, we thought something had happened. If you still don’t come out, we’ll think of a way to go in and find you.”

Shen Miao laughed. “Palace is not a hell. It’s not that dangerous.” However, she thought to herself that the two assassins who appeared out of nowhere today actually dared to kill her in the palace. If she died, it would only be harmful to the crown prince. Most likely, it was done by Prince Zhou’s faction or Prince Li’s faction. It was impossible for Fu Xiuyi to do this. It had not been long since Shen Wan died. Fu Xiuyi would not take the initiative to get involved. With his personality, he would hide for a while longer.

At the thought of this, she couldn’t help but sneer in her heart. In short, none of the people of the royal family were good people. The Shen family and the royal family were destined to be enemies. Since her enemy was so ruthless, she wouldn’t show mercy.

Mo Qing went forward and gestured for Shen Miao to get into the carriage and set off for the Shen mansion.

On the busy street at the entrance of the palace, in a lively tavern, someone was observing Mo Qing and the others in the corner. When he saw Shen Miao come out of the palace gate unscathed, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. Then, he picked up the sword on the table and left quietly.

When Shen Miao returned home, Shen Qiu and the others surrounded her and asked her what the empress said to her in the palace today. Shen Miao didn’t mention the assassination and only told them what the empress said to her. Everyone in the Shen family was worried again. With the empress taking this step, they had to think of a way as soon as possible.

Luo Xueyan thought of the people who came to propose marriage. She wanted to ask Shen Miao what she thought. If Shen Miao liked any of them, they could immediately start preparing for a wedding. After all, Shen Xin had asked around and found out that they were all young men with good character.

However, after the interaction with Xie Jingxing today, Shen Miao was not in the mood to talk about this. When Luo Xueyan mentioned it, she revealed a rare trace of displeasure. Seeing this, Shen Xin and the others thought that Shen Miao was scared by the empress today, so they didn’t continue. They asked Shen Miao to go back and rest early.
