Chapter 951 Meeting (2)

Li Mei smiled and said, "Madam Ji, I've told you before that coming here to unveil the list was purely accidental, and I didn't think much of it at the time. This herb is used to detoxify and save lives. My sister and I didn't use it, so it would be useless if we kept it. Something that can save lives should naturally be used to save people. This can only be considered a connection between this herb and His Royal Highness. I can't say much more about the rest."

The other ladies in the hall were amazed when they heard this. She was beautiful, had a good temper, was generous and not greedy for power. She looked like a very good person. On the other hand, Shen Miao came up to her for no apparent reason and made things difficult for her. She did not have the bearing of a Consort of Prince Rui.

Li Mei looked at Shen Miao again and said apologetically, "It's just this dress. I got it dirty just now, so I wore yours. Please don't mind, Princess. I will wash it clean and return it to you personally. There won't be a trace of it being worn."

Shen Miao looked at her steadily.

Shen Miao had met Madam Mei after she returned to Mingqi from Qin. She had anticipated the increase in concubines in the palace, but Madam Mei was the only one who gave birth to a son. At first, she didn't believe that a man with Fu Xiuyi's cold personality could be so doting on a woman, but after seeing it with her own eyes, she had to admit it.

Madam Mei was deeply favored by Fu Xiuyi, so when she first faced Shen Miao, she never lowered her head. Even when she did, it was fake, perfunctory, and brought no joy. Even though Shen Miao was the queen, within the harem, Madam Mei seemed to be superior to her, just like Fu Sheng was always favored over Fu Ming.

But now, the woman who always raised her chin slightly, looked charming and mocking at her, but in a humble manner, called herself a "common woman" and called her "Princess".

The world is so big that one can live his life twice. The world is so small that after two lives, one can meet the enemy from the previous life again.

Li Mei was embarrassed when she saw Shen Miao didn't answer. She smiled and was about to pull Li Ke away. Madam Ji wanted to persuade them to stop, but Shen Miao was the mistress of Prince Rui's mansion after all. She had no reason to make decisions without Shen Miao's permission.

“Wait.” Shen Miao suddenly spoke.

Li Ke and Li Mei were stunned. They turned around and saw Shen Miao smiling gently. She said, "Since you saved His Highness's life, you are the benefactor of the entire Prince Rui's Mansion. If you two leave now, won't the Prince Rui's Mansion be criticized and accused of being cold-hearted?"

"How can you say that the palace is cold-hearted?" Li Mei shook his head and said with a smile, "This was our idea."

“We have to wait until His Highness is fully recovered before leaving.” Shen Miao smiled slightly: “Otherwise, the Prince’s Mansion cannot afford to abandon things halfway.”

The implication of these words was a bit doubtful. If the legendary herb passed down from generation to generation was actually fake, and Xie Jingxing's old illness relapsed in a few days, where would he go to find help?

Madam Ji and Ji Yushu were a little embarrassed. Shen Miao was not an aggressive person, so why was she so harsh towards this brother and sister? They were her lifesavers, so no matter what, she couldn't treat them with such an attitude. Even if she had suspicions in her heart, there was no need to say them out loud.

But Shen Miao knew that these two siblings might not stay because of the Prince’s Mansion’s gratitude, but they would definitely stay because of the Prince’s Mansion’s suspicion.

Because their life is to leave a good reputation even if they have done all the bad things. How can they allow others to throw a basin of dirty water on them for no reason if they do not allow themselves to have a stain?

As expected, Li Ke's face showed indignation as soon as these words came out. He said, "Don't worry, we will definitely be here to see His Royal Highness get better with our own eyes!"
