“Let me ask you one more time. Are you going to help or not?” Shen Miao asked.

Pei Lang pondered for a moment and said, “The situation the Ye family is in is very delicate now. The Daliang Dynasty’s emperor wants to use the Ye family to deal with the Lu family. The Ye family has no children, so it’s easier to control. However, if they have children, the situation will be completely different.”

“The Ye family might change sides, or they might fight with the Lu family, or they might join forces with the royal family to deal with the Lu family. The appearance of Ye Mei and Ye Ke is an extremely unstable variable. The attitude of the royal family towards the Ye family will also affect the attitude of the Ye family towards the royal family. At this time, the royal family should not act rashly and should be even more polite to the Ye family. You are the princess consort of Prince Rui, and Prince Rui is the brother of the emperor. You are tied to the royal family. If you want the Ye siblings to die, the Daliang Dynasty’s emperor will be the first to disagree.”

Shen Miao stared at him. “I naturally know this. That’s why I want you to think of a way to get the royal family to take the initiative to deal with the Ye family.”

“Whoever makes a move first will lose. The royal family is watching, and so is the Ye family. If you want the lives of the Ye siblings, you have to find fault with the Ye family first and get something on them. It’s best if you can start a war between the Ye family and the royal family.”

Shen Miao asked, “What about the Lu family?”

Pei Lang was stunned.

“What if I instigate a war between the Lu family and the Ye family?”

Pei Lang shook his head. “You… want to protect Prince Rui, right? However, I have to advise you that it’s impossible to have the best of both worlds. The Lu family is not a fool. At this time, they won’t take the initiative to fall out with the Ye family.”

Shen Miao said, “I understand.”

“Are you really going to risk falling out with the royal family just to deal with the Ye family?” Pei Lang frowned. “If you’re really going against the royal family, then Prince Rui and you…” Pei Lang did not continue. Although he was also very puzzled by Shen Miao’s attitude towards Ye Mei and Her brother, he didn’t think the hatred was so great that Shen Miao was even willing to die with them.

What exactly did the Ye siblings do?

“I don’t have a second choice.” Shen Miao lowered her eyes. “Maybe I’m not fated to be part of the royal family.” In her previous life and this life, she could not escape the fate of dying in the hands of the royal family. But so what?

“How do you plan to sow discord between them?” Pei Lang asked.

“That’s what I want to discuss with you,” Shen Miao said. 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝐧𝗼𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐧𝐞𝘁

The battlefield in the Daliang Dynasty was different from the one in Ming Qi. She was not familiar with the forces in Long Ye. She could not consult with Xie Jingxing now, but she was unwilling to let her enemy live well under her nose. After thinking about it, she decided to rely on Pei Lang.

Pei Lang was strategically minded. He was best at analyzing the situation in the imperial court. Even if the Ye siblings had a huge backer behind them, she would still take them down along with their backer.

This discussion lasted until late at night.

When Shen Miao returned to her courtyard, it was already very late. She pushed open the door and entered the house. Just as she was about to take off her outer clothes, she suddenly paused and turned around. Xie Jingxing was sitting at her desk with his arms crossed, flipping through a book in boredom.

“Why are you here?” Shen Miao asked, “You… can get out of bed now?”

Today, Xie Jingxing went to see Li Mei and her brother. Shen Miao did not want to think about the siblings, nor did she want to go. She was afraid that as soon as she saw them, she couldn’t control her hatred, but she did not expect Xie Jingxing to come looking for her.

Xie Jingxing smiled lazily and did not answer her. He said, “Why are you back so late?”

“I couldn’t fall asleep.” Shen Miao said, “So I walked around.”

Xie Jingxing tossed the book in his hand on the table and said, “Oh? Didn’t you go to have tea with Pei Lang?”

From the looks of it, he was here to question her.

Shen Miao was preoccupied with the matters of the Ye family. She asked with a frown, “What do you want to say?”

“Half a month,” Xie Jingxing said.

Shen Miao stared at him.

He also stared at her with a complicated gaze that made Shen Miao’s heart skip a beat. He said, “I’ve been awake for half a month, but you’ve only come to see me once.”

“Have you forgotten that you’re Princess Consort Rui and my wife?” he said.

Shen Miao did not speak because she didn’t know how to explain.

However, Xie Jingxing stared at her, his gaze showing disappointment and anger. He said, “I waited for you here for the entire night, and you were drinking tea and playing chess with Pei Lang. Shen Miao, do you like that scholar?”

Shen Miao suddenly felt inexplicably angry. She couldn’t sleep at night because Xie Jingxing was involved in this matter, so she couldn’t make a move and let a good opportunity slip. When she was already frustrated, Xie Jingxing accused her of things she didn’t do. She said, “What does that have to do with you?”

Xie Jingxing pulled Shen Miao over in front of him. He pulled so hard that Shen Miao almost fell. Xie Jingxing held her chin and said word by word, “You are my wife. Remember that.”

Shen Miao frowned and said, “Maybe we formed an alliance too rashly.”

Xie Jingxing paused and looked at her deeply. “Maybe?”

He suddenly let go and stood up. With his back facing Shen Miao, he said indifferently, “Is your heart made of iron? Is scheming and plotting all you care about?”

“Perhaps, you’ve never liked me from the beginning to the end, right?” he said indifferently.
