905 Secret (4)
However, the Ye family and the Lu family had been on good terms for so many years and their interests were intertwined. The Ye family had the Lu family’s weakness, and the Lu family also had something on the Ye family. It was not easy to sow discord.
As she was thinking about these things, Shen Miao did not even notice it when the carriage arrived at Prince Rui’s mansion until Ba Jiao suddenly shouted, “Master”. Someone flicked Shen Miao’s forehead and said, “What are you thinking about?”
Only then did Shen Miao see Xie Jingxing. He came back early today and was still wearing his dark red official uniform, looking dignified. Shen Miao pulled his sleeve, hurriedly walking towards the study. She said, “Coincidentally, I have something to ask you…”
Xie Jingxing was stunned at first, then he let her pull him forward. On the other hand, Ba Jiao and Gu Yu were dumbfounded. Ba Jiao smiled and said, “Madam is really proactive.”
Uncle Tang appeared from behind and said, “What are you looking at? Go to work!”
Ba Jiao and Gu Yu stuck out their tongues and quickly walked away. Uncle Tang looked at the tightly shut door and shook his head. He sighed and said, “The marriage is not even consummated yet.”
…
In the room, Shen Miao told Xie Jingxing what happened today. Xie Jingxing said, “Royal hunt?”
Shen Miao nodded. “It seems a little unusual.”
“Every year, on the second day of June, the royal family will hunt. It’s a rule passed down by the late emperor.” Xie Jingxing said lazily, “However, my brother and I will only roam on the periphery. We won’t go too deep into the forest to hunt.”
“Why?” Shen Miao asked.
“It’s dangerous.” Xie Jingxing lowered his voice.
Shen Miao was stunned.
When Xie Jingxing saw the look on her face, he smiled and raised his eyebrows. “Are you afraid?”
“What’s there to be afraid of?” Shen Miao looked at him. “Do you mean that someone will attack the emperor and you? The hunting ground will be filled with imperial guards. Who has the guts to do that?”
“You’ve seen the Black Feather Army before.” Xie Jingxing suddenly changed the topic and said, “That’s my people. My brother knows the existence of this army too. Do you know why I raised an army?”
“Because you don’t trust the royal army?” Shen Miao answered quickly.
Xie Jingxing snapped his fingers.
Shen Miao didn’t know what to say.
People said that Emperor Yong Le was a wise emperor, and the people of the Daliang Dynasty all respected him. It seemed that this was the case for the people, but the soldiers and officials under him did not seem to be as loyal as the rumors said. There was no threat coming from inside the royal family of the Daliang Dynasty, but there was an external threat.
The royal army was established by the late emperor. In other words, the people served the late emperor and were unwilling to be loyal to the current emperor. Thinking of the cold tone Xie Jingxing used when he talked about the late emperor, Shen Miao was a little curious. She hesitated for a moment and looked at Xie Jingxing, asking, “Speaking of which, what exactly happened that caused you to end up in the capital of Ming Qi back then?”
Hearing this, Xie Jingxing’s eyes narrowed slightly. Shen Miao, who was sitting beside him, could feel the temperature drop by a few degrees.
A moment later, Xie Jingxing smiled and reached out to touch Shen Miao’s head. He said, “Why do you have so many questions? Do you want to know my secret again? If you want to know, you have to trade.” He smiled ambiguously. “Your body is fine too.”
Shen Miao rolled her eyes at him.
Xie Jingxing continued, “However, you don’t seem to be angry at Lu Wan’er at all.” He was a little dissatisfied. “Someone lusts after your husband but you are unmoved. Shen Jiaojiao, you’re really heartless.”
Shen Miao said, “You won’t agree anyway, right? The Lu family is ambitious. You’re probably not so stupid as to keep a poisonous snake by your side.”
