Venomous Empress Reborn - Chapter 476

476 Guessed It (1)

The next day, Shen Miao woke up late.

Xie Jingxing only came at midnight yesterday. After talking to him, she was already extremely tired. When she woke up, it was already very late.

Luo Xueyan thought that Shen Miao was tired from the tribute banquet yesterday, so she asked someone to specially save food for Shen Miao to eat when Shen Miao woke up. Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan went to the Ministry of War early in the morning. They had just been reinstated and had many old matters to deal with. Shen Qiu and Luo Ling were not in the house. Because Luo Ling wanted to find a new job, Shen Xin asked Luo Ling to help Shen Qiu so that those people would not make things difficult for Luo Ling just because he was new here.

In this way, only Luo Tan and Shen Miao were left in this new “Shen mansion”. Coincidentally, today, Feng Anning sent an invitation to Shen Miao, asking her to accompany her to shop for some jewelry. Shen Miao asked Luo Tan to go and send a few guards to protect Luo Tan. She only said that she was tired and wanted to rest in the mansion for a day.

!!
Luo Tan did not object. After Luo Tan left, Shen Miao asked Mo Qing to send a letter to Guangwen Hall.

After two years, the capital had changed in many ways. For example, Miss Liu Ying, who had once been a brothel girl in the Treasure Fragrance Chamber and was once popular, was redeemed by a young master called Mo for a high price of 1,000 taels of gold. However, with Miss Liu Ying gone, two-sided embroidery that had been lost for a long time had quietly appeared in the capital in the past few years. A piece of embroidery silk could be sold for a hundred taels of silver. It was said that not only was that embroiderer’s craftsmanship outstanding, but she was also beautiful.

The people who were worried about Liu Ying would naturally be happy to see her doing so well. Pei Lang was a man of his word. The moment Shen Miao saw Pei Lang at the tribute banquet, she knew that Pei Lang had already gained Fu Xiuyi’s trust, which was why Fu Xiuyi brought him along. Although Fu Xiuyi was paranoid, that was only after he became the emperor. Currently, Fu Xiuyi still valued talent very much. Pei Lang was someone with knowledge and vision, so Fu Xiuyi would definitely think of a way to keep him by his side.

After Fu Xiuyi tested Pei Lang’s talent, it was time to test Pei Lang’s loyalty. She could not go and see Pei Lang rashly, lest Fu Xiuyi become suspicious.

She said, “Bring out a cloak.”

Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang were tidying up the house. When they heard this, they asked curiously, “Miss, are you going out?”

Shen Miao said, “I have something to do.”

After leaving the mansion, because Mo Qing went to Guangwen Hall, Shen Miao brought Ah Zhi along. She was now much closer to Shen Qiu’s personal guards. When she was in the northwest, Shen Miao gave Shen Qiu many ideas about military tactics. The soldiers all thought that Shen Miao was smart and talented. They admired her strategy ability and respected her a lot.

Shen Miao said to Ah Zhi, “Don’t tell anyone about us going out today.”

Ah Zhi’s heart skipped a beat. He was Shen Qiu’s guard, but at this moment, he felt like he had been Shen Miao’s guard all these years. He nodded and said, “Yes.”
