Venomous Empress Reborn

952 Encounter (3)

Shen Miao smiled. “That’s good. Prince Rui owes you a favor. If you don’t stay, how can we ‘repay’ your kindness?”

One moment, she suspected them, and the next, she was talking about repaying them. Such an ambiguous attitude made people a little confused. Li Mei looked at her thoughtfully. Shen Miao noticed her gaze and smiled. “I still have something to do, so I won’t stay any longer.” She then said to Madam Ji, “Auntie, help me entertain the madams.” Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something and stopped in front of Li Mei. She smiled and said, “I think this dress suits you quite well. It’s as if it was made for you. Since it fits you, you don’t have to take it off and return it to me. Just treat it as a gift from me.”

Shen Miao talked as if she was not giving a gift to her but rather, she was doing charity. No matter how smart Uncle Tang was, he was a little confused by Shen Miao’s strange behavior today. Only after Shen Miao left did he look at Luo Tan.

Luo Tan stuck out her tongue. “Don’t ask me. I don’t know either.” She turned around and left.

Madam Ji looked at Li Mei and Li Ke and said apologetically, “The princess consort has been worried about Prince Rui these days and is probably worn out. I hope the two of you won’t take it to heart.”

“Not at all.” Li Mei smiled.

“Then let’s talk inside,” Madam Ji said with a smile.

Ji Yushu also looked at Li Ke. After a moment of hesitation, he said, “Brother Li, please.”

When Jingzhe and Gu Yu saw Shen Miao return, they went up to her in surprise and said, “Madam, you’re finally back! We’ve been anxious these days. I’m afraid something might happen to you.”

When they saw that Shen Miao was in a sorry state, the two of them were stunned at the same time. Jingzhe asked, “Madam… What’s going on? Did you get hurt?”

Shen Miao’s clothes were dirty and she was disheveled, looking like she had suffered a huge blow.

Gu Yu was the smartest. She said, “Madam, I’ll go and run a bath for you first. You can clean up and eat something. His Highness is fine now. After you take a rest, it’ll be easier to think it through.”

After the bath was prepared, Shen Miao dismissed the two of them and sank into the wooden bucket. The temperature of the water was just right, but at this moment, Shen Miao felt as cold as in an igloo.

How did Consort Mei appear in the Daliang Dynasty? How did she become Xie Jingxing’s savior by a freak combination of factors? She endured all kinds of hardships to not kill Consort Mei the moment she saw her.

However, no matter how much she endured it, everyone still noticed her strange behavior today. She didn’t know what others would think of her. These people were probably wondering if she was jealous. However, Shen Miao wanted to find out why Consort Mei came to the Daliang Dynasty.

In her previous life, Shen Miao went to the State of Qin to be a hostage. When she returned, Consort Mei had already entered the palace. It was said that Consort Mei was the daughter of an official Fu Xiuyi met on the way to the east battlefront. However, now that Fu Xiuyi had yet to go to the east battlefront, he naturally could not meet Consort Mei, and Consort Mei was now in the Daliang Dynasty.

Could it be that Consort Mei had also arrived at the Daliang Dynasty in her previous life at this point? According to the time, Consort Mei had already met Xie Jingxing before she met Fu Xiuyi.

Then why did Consort Mei end up becoming Fu Xiuyi’s favorite consort? Why did she end up in Ming Qi… Could it be that this was also Xie Jingxing’s doing? Shen Miao couldn’t help but shiver.
