Shen Miao thought that after knowing the ending of the two of them, she would definitely be overjoyed. However, at this moment, she did not feel much. It was as if she had only done what she should do, and revenge was no longer part of the rest of her life.

This was because she had a future to look forward to.

Xie Jingxing and her unborn child helped her get out of the shackles of hatred. She did the last thing she could do for Fu Ming and Wanyu. Now, she had to live a good life for herself.

Luo Tan was looking at the flowers outside and said, “The lotus is really beautiful. Cousin, let’s go for a walk later.”

Shen Miao nodded.

The lotus flowers were very good. Empress Xiande liked to see lotus flowers the most.

Emperor Yong Le’s health was getting worse day by day.

He had already discussed the edict with his trusted officials in private. Emperor Yong Le did not hide his illness from them. A few officials had already secretly arranged everything. If Emperor Yong Le really did not wake up one day, everything would go according to plan. The edict would be announced to the world. When Xie Jingxing returned, what awaited him would be the responsibility of the entire Daliang Dynasty.

Naturally, Emperor Yong Let s illness was also hidden from Xie Jingxing. 𝚋𝚎ｄｎｏｖ𝚎𝚕．𝚌ｏｍ

At this critical moment, Empress Xiande seemed to be the calmest. Every day, she still made tea, read, played chess, and wrote. She chatted with Emperor Yong Le casually and occasionally checked in on Shen Miao.

In Weiyang Palace, Empress Xiande looked outside and said, “It just rained today. At night, it will definitely be very cool. Let’s drink the wine tonight, Your Majesty.”

Emneror Yong Le sat on the chair. He glanced at Emnress Xiande and chuckled. “Do you want to get drunk?” His words were very gentle.

“Who wouldn’t want to be drunk and live in oblivion?” Empress Xiande muttered to herself. Then, she said, “A jar of wine is not enough to make me drunk. I can hold my liquor very well. When I was young, I often stole wine from my brother.”

When Emperor Yong Le heard that, he looked a little interested and said, “This doesn’t seem like something you would do.”

“That’s nothing.” When Empress Xiande said this, she was a little smug. “I’ve never lost to my brothers in drinking. At that time, my father even boasted that he would definitely find an old wine that could make me drunk after taking a sip. After that, I entered the palace and didn’t dare to drink much because I was afraid of doing something inappropriate in my drunken state.”

“One moment, it’s tea, and the next, it’s wine.” Emperor Yong Le sighed. “Your hobbies are very different.”

“Tea makes you sober while wine makes you forget.” Empress Xiande smiled. “So tonight, Your Majesty, let’s forget and indulge ourselves in it. I brewed the wine myself. Although it’s not as good as nectar, it’s very mellow.” “Alright.” Emperor Yong Le said, “I’ll indulge in it with you this time.”

In the late summer, the night wind was cool, and the lake was green.

In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, there was a small jar of wine, a few pastries, and two wine bowls on the table.

Emperor Yong Le looked at the round wine bowl in front of him and raised his eyebrows. “With this?” He and Xie Jingxing both had the habit of raising eyebrows when asking a question..
