951 Encounter (2)
Li Mei smiled and said, “Madam Ji, I told you previously that I saw the post by accident. At that time, I didn’t think too much about it. This herb is used to detoxify the poison and save people’s lives. The two of us don’t need it and it will be a waste in our hands. If we can use it to save people, we will naturally do it. We are fated to give the herb to Prince Rui.”
The other madams in the hall looked at Li Mei approvingly. She was beautiful and generous. On the other hand, Shen Miao made things difficult for her for no reason. She did not have the bearing of a princess consort.
Li Mei looked at Shen Miao and said apologetically, “I dirtied my clothes just now, so I borrowed your clothes. Please don’t mind it. After I wash them, I will definitely return them to you personally.”
Shen Miao looked at her fixedly.
When Shen Miao first saw Consort Mei in her previous life, it was after she returned to Ming Qi from the State of Qin. She had long expected that there would be many consorts in the palace, but Consort Mei was the only one who gave birth to a son. At first, Shen Miao did not believe that someone as cold as Fu Xiuyi could dote on a woman so much. Later, when she saw it with her own eyes, she had no choice but to believe it.
Consort Mei was favored by Fu Xiuyi, so when she faced Shen Miao from the beginning, she was never humble. Even though Shen Miao was the empress, it seemed that Consort Mei was above her in status.
At this moment, the woman who was always arrogant and held her chin high called Shen Miao “Princess Consort” in a humble manner.
The world was so small that in her second life, Shen Miao would still meet her enemy again.
Seeing that Shen Miao did not answer, Li Mei was a little embarrassed. She smiled and was about to pull Li Ke away. Madam Ji wanted to persuade them to stay, but Shen Miao was the princess consort after all. She had no reason to speak on behalf of Shen Miao.
“Wait,” Shen Miao suddenly said.
Li Ke and Li Mei were stunned. The two of them turned around and saw Shen Miao smiling gently. She said, “If the two of you leave now, won’t you make people think that Prince Rui is cold and ungrateful?”
“No, that’s not what we mean.” Li Mei shook her head and smiled. “It’s our own idea to leave.”
“You have to at least wait for His Highness to recover before leaving.” Shen Miao smiled. “Otherwise, Prince Rui will blame me.”
What she meant was that she was still suspicious of the herb. If the herb was actually fake and Xie Jingxing’s condition worsened, where was she supposed to find this pair of siblings?
Madam Ji and Ji Yushu were a little embarrassed. Shen Miao was not an aggressive person. Why was she so aggressive with this pair of siblings? They were Prince Rui’s saviors after all. No matter what, she should have a better attitude. Even if she had doubts, there was no need to say it out loud.
However, Shen Miao knew that this brother and sister might not stay if she thanked them, but they would definitely stay if she suspected them.
Because even if they did all kinds of bad things, they still wanted to have a good reputation and would not tolerate people slandering them.
As expected, as soon as Shen Miao said that, Li Ke looked angry. He said, “Don’t worry, we will definitely stay until Prince Rui opens his eyes.”
