Chapter 926: Expert (1)

"So Madam knows this too. Indeed, when the Master first returned to Longye, he was also escorted back. The doctors said there was no hope of recovery, and Master Gao was helpless. But in the end, the Master managed to pull through. It was truly a miracle."

Shen Miao lowered her eyes: “There are many people in Longye who want to kill him.”

Uncle Tang glanced at Shen Miao in surprise, hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and sighed: "How could the territory of Daliang be so easy to defend? If that were the case, then..." He suddenly stopped talking and said: "In short, Madam, please take care of yourself." As he said this, he went to instruct the kitchen to boil medicine and was about to leave.

When Uncle Tang was about to leave the door, Shen Miao stopped him and asked, “Uncle Tang, the relationship between the late emperor and Your Highness doesn’t seem to be very good. Do you know about this?”

Uncle Tang stumbled and paused before he slowly spoke, "Madam, I was a servant in the late Queen's residence before she got married. But if you want to know these things, you'd better wait for His Highness to tell you in person. I'm sorry that I can't tell you." He bowed, turned and left the room.

Shen Miao pressed her forehead. The Daliang Imperial Family held as many secrets as the Mingqi Imperial Family. What secrets could Xie Jingxing possibly hold? What about the relationship between the late Emperor and the Yongle Emperor? Xie Jingxing hadn't told her about these matters, and she didn't know the ins and outs of them, let alone act rashly. At this moment, Shen Miao would rather be more impulsive than so cautious. Perhaps she could stumble upon the truth.

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Guyu running in hurriedly, eyes wide open, looking somewhat bewildered, and said: "Madam...Madam..."

Shen Miao frowned. The more it was at this moment, the more she must avoid being rash and hasty. Chaos could easily arise from haste. Prince Rui's mansion couldn't afford to be taken advantage of at this moment. She asked, "What happened? Why are you so flustered?"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice from outside: "Little cousin!"

Shen Miao was stunned when she saw a familiar figure suddenly appear behind Gu Yu. Who else could it be but Luo Tan? Luo Tan looked a little anxious. Seeing Shen Miao, he walked in in two steps. He then looked at Xie Jingxing who was still asleep in bed and murmured, "He really didn't lie to me..."

Shen Miao stood up with a jerk and asked, "Why are you here?"

She spoke harshly, and had always treated Luo Tan with a kind of tolerance, almost like an elder towards a younger person. But now she stood up with a cold face, which actually startled Luo Tan. He couldn't help but shrink his neck and whispered, "This is a long story..."

After Luo Tan told Shen Miao the whole story of how he came here, Shen Miao couldn't help but take a deep breath and said in disapproval: "This is ridiculous! Daliang and Mingqi are very far apart. You are staying alone in someone else's house. If something happens to you, what will happen to your uncle and aunt? What will happen to my parents?"

Luo Tan knew he was in the wrong and whispered, "I know I was wrong, but I was just obsessed with following you." Then he continued in an even quieter voice, "I didn't expect Gao Yang to be from Longye. He lied to me before, saying he had only traveled to Longye and happened to have a residence here..."

Shen Miao glanced at the submissive Luo Tan and didn't know what to say. It had already happened, and blaming anyone would be pointless. Besides, everything had been peaceful so far, with no trouble. Although Gao Yang wasn't as simple as he appeared, he wouldn't do anything disrespectful to Luo Tan since he was with Xie Jingxing. Shen Miao didn't understand why Gao Yang was acting this way, but judging by Luo Tan's behavior, he must have taken good care of her.
