Xie Jingxing asked Eunuch Deng to lead the way. Shen Miao followed behind and thought for a moment before asking Eunuch Deng, “Eunuch Deng, is the empress well now?”

“Her Majesty is fine. Thank you for your concern, Princess Consort,” Eunuch Deng said with a smile.

Shen Miao narrowed her eyes. If the empress was fine, then who was not fine should be Consort ling.

!!

As expected, just as she thought of this, she heard Eunuch Deng say, “But Consort Jing hasn’t woken up yet.”

Xie Jingxing sneered. “What is Lu Jing up to this time?” He looked quite angry.

Eunuch Deng smiled and did not say anything else. Shen Miao felt that smile was meaningful.

After entering the palace, Eunuch Deng brought the two of them straight to the Jinghua Palace. The Jinghua Palace was where Consort Jing lived. It was already midnight, but the Jinghua Palace was brightly lit. A group of palace maids knelt in the hall. Shen Miao immediately saw that Emperor Yong Le and Empress Xiande were also there. The two of them sat in the hall, but Empress Xiande did not look any different. She was still calm, but Emperor Yong Le’s face was as cold as ice.

Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing entered hand in hand. Eunuch Deng quickly reported. When Emperor Yong Le saw that Shen Miao was also here, he was slightly stunned. Empress Xiande stood up and walked up to Shen Miao with a smile. She held Shen Miao’s hand and said warmly, “I originally wanted to summon you to the palace and ask you how you have been doing, but things happened one after another. I didn’t expect you to come so late tonight.”

Shen Miao smiled and said, “His Highness Prince Rui is summoned to the palace suddenly. I didn’t know what happened, so I followed him here.” Empress Xiande asked her, “Are you feeling better these days?”

Shen Miao said, “I’ve already recovered. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty.”

Empress Xiande smiled. “Then I’m relieved.”

Xie Jingxing looked at Emperor Yong Le and asked with a dark expression,

“Brother, what happened?”

Everyone knew that Empress Xiande would definitely not push Consort Jing into the pond. Even though Consort Jing was still unconscious, Emperor Yong Le didn’t care because he had already started to attack the Lu family. Why would he summon Xie Jingxing to the palace then? 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝗲𝐥.𝗻𝗲𝐭

Emperor Yong Le said coldly, “The Lu family just came.”

“They’ve been here?” Xie Jingxing frowned and said, “When I came in, I didn’t see the Lu family.” The Lu family was arrogant. Now that Consort Jing had fallen into the pond, the Lu family would definitely seize this opportunity to make a fuss. At the very least, they would definitely pester Empress Xiande. Now that the Lu family was nowhere to be seen, could it be that the Lu family had already made a fuss before they came?

“They’re not afraid that something will happen to Consort Jing.” It was Empress Xiande who spoke. “Because they have something to rely on.”

Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat.

Just as they were talking, an imperial physician walked out of the bedroom. He walked up to Emperor Yong Le and bowed. “Your Majesty, Consort Jing fell into the water and caught a cold. Fortunately, her condition is stable, and the child is still safe. After recuperating, she will be fine.”

Consort Jing was pregnant?

Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing were stunned at the same time. Shen Miao subconsciously looked at Empress Xiande. The corners of Empress Xiande’s lips curled up slightly, and she still looked as calm and generous as usual. However, Shen Miao felt that that smile was a little mocking. Looking at Emperor Yong Le, his eyes were cold, and his face was sunken. He did not look haDDV at all.

In the room, Consort Jing seemed to have woken up. She started to shout “I want to see His Majesty”. Xie Jingxing looked at Emperor Yong Le with a faint smile, but Emperor Yong Le turned to look at Empress Xiande. Empress Xiande smiled and said, “Your Majesty, go and see Consort Jing. The child is innocent after all.” She then looked at Xie Jingxing. “Your brother will probably want to talk to you later. Wait here for a while.” She then said to Shen Miao, “I have to go back and change my clothes. Princess Consort, come with me. I’m afraid you must be tired. You can rest for a while in Weiyang Palace..”
