Venomous Empress Reborn - Chapter 957

957 Interrogation (2)

“I understand. You can leave. Continue to pay attention to this pair of siblings. If there’s anything strange, tell me immediately,” Shen Miao said.

Mo Qing nodded and left.

After Mo Qing left, Shen Miao sat back down and gradually lowered her eyes.

Mo Qing, who was meticulous, could not be wrong. Either this life was really different from her previous life or this pair of siblings was too good at hiding.

!!
This way, even if she told Madam Ji that the two of them had ulterior motives, no one would believe her. The reason the siblings, who had grown up in Qinzhou, came to Long Ye was to look for their relatives. Who would believe that they wanted to harm Prince Rui?

She stood up and wanted to go and see Xie Jingxing, but at the thought that Li Mei and her brother were considered Xie Jingxing’s saviors and that they might be related to the Daliang Dynasty’s royal family, she felt that it was difficult to face him.

In the end, she gave up.

…

Weiyang Palace.

When Empress Xiande heard the palace maid finish speaking, she heaved a sigh of relief and said with a relaxed smile, “It’s good that he’s out of danger. Someone, go and send the two hundred-year-old ginsengs to Prince Rui to nourish his body.” She suddenly thought of something and added, “Does the emperor know about this?”

“His Majesty is already informed” the palace maid said with a smile.

“I’m going to see him.” Empress Xiande was about to stand up.

The palace maid said hesitantly, “His Majesty is at Consort Jing’s place… probably celebrating…”

Empress Xiande paused for a moment, then smiled gently and said, “In that case, I don’t have to go.” A trace of sadness flashed across her eyes.

“However, I heard that when Prince Rui woke up, some madams were saying…”

“Saying what?”

“Saying that the princess consort didn’t seem to like the siblings who saved Prince Rui’s life and made things very difficult for them, and that she was jealous of the beautiful woman . Some even said that Princess Consort Rui didn’t want Prince Rui to be saved at all…” At the end of her sentence, her voice gradually trailed off, as if she knew that what she said was offensive.

“Nonsense!” Empress Xiande shouted sternly, “How can the princess consort not want Prince Rui to be saved!”

The palace maid was so frightened that she didn’t dare to look up.

Empress Xiande calmed down after this shout. She said indifferently, “Are you trying to say that the princess consort is jealous? I think it’s this simple.”

Weiyang Palace was quiet, and no one spoke. Empress Xiande sat in the high seat, and her figure looked extremely lonely.

…

For more than ten days in a row, Shen Miao locked herself in her room and carefully thought of a way to get the best of both worlds. However, no matter how she thought about it, she could not be sure that she could have done it perfectly without implicating anyone. The appearance of Li Mei and her brother had placed Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing in a very tricky position.

Over the past ten days, she had been deliberately avoiding Xie Jingxing because every time she faced Xie Jingxing, she would have countless doubts in her mind. If Li Mei and her brother were really related to Xie Jingxing in her previous life, Shen Miao really did not know how to face Xie Jingxing anymore. She was afraid that their fate as husband and wife would end just like that.
