“Died?” It was Empress Xiande who spoke. She said, “How did Consort Jing

The old imperial physician bowed and said, “Today, she fell too heavily and had a miscarriage. Consort Jing lost too much blood, so…”

Emperor Yong Le did not look happy or sad. On the other hand, Empress Xiande said in a low voice, “Why did Consort Jing suddenly fall down for no reason? Where were the palace maids?”

The palace maids of the Jinghua Palace hurriedly knelt down and said, “Earlier, Her Highness was talking to Miss Ye, but they suddenly mentioned that they wanted to take a walk in the royal garden. Her Highness didn’t want us by her side, so we didn’t follow her. However, later on, Miss Ye didn’t come back, and Her Highness didn’t come back either. When we saw Her Highness again, she was carried back.”

Consort Jing’s palace maids were also as sharp-tongued as Consort Jing. However, since something happened to Consort Jing, no matter what they said, the maids would inevitably be blamed.

Empress Xiande did not suspect Shen Miao at all and immediately asked,

“Where is Miss Ye? Someone, find Miss Ye!”

This was a serious matter. Moreover, it happened in the harem. As the head of the harem, Empress Xiande naturally had to investigate thoroughly. Emperor Yong Le did not say anything and let Empress Xiande give the order. From the beginning until now, he did not show much emotion, making people unable to guess what he was thinking.

As Shen Miao thought about where Xie Jingxing had gone at such a critical moment, she also thought about the possible explanations of Lu Jing’s death. Did Ye Mei kill Lu Jing? That made no sense, Even if Ye Mei wanted to enter the harem, there was no need to kill Lu Jing. Besides, Ye Mei was the kind of person who would only use others as a knife to achieve her goal and wouldn’t let ner nanas De stamea witn Diooa. ?rms stupid metnoa or Killing LU Jing was not her style. Everyone knew that she went out with Lu Jing. Once something happened to Lu Jing, she would be the first suspect.

This puzzled Shen Miao.

Everyone in the Jinghua Palace was thinking about what was going on in their minds. Not long after, they heard a woman’s panicked voice behind them.

“Consort Jing!”

Shen Miao turned around and saw that Ye Mei was brought in by a few guards. She looked a little flustered, but more than that, she was at a loss and in disbelief. She took two steps forward and was stopped by Empress Xiande’s guards. Empress Xiande looked at her and said coldly, “Where did you go? Why were you nowhere to be seen just now? Before Consort Jing died, she went out with you to the garden. Why did you disappear?” Empress Xiande’s tone was aggressive, and the questions were all directed at Ye Mei. Empress Xiande usually looked calm and gentle, but now that she spoke sternly, she gave off a domineering aura of the empress of a country.

Shen Miao looked at Ye Mei coldly.

Ye Mei lowered her head as if she was recalling something. She said, “Earlier, I was talking to Consort Jing in the Jinghua Palace. Consort Jing said that the weather outside is cool and that she wants to take a breather. Consort Jing’s palace maids also intend to follow, but Consort Jing feels that it’s inconvenient to have too many people around. Moreover, we’re just taking a walk in the royal garden. There won’t be any danger..”
