Chapter 957 Questioning (2)

"I understand. You can go down and continue to keep an eye on this brother and sister. If there is any movement, tell me immediately." Shen Miao said.

Mo Qing retreated in response.

After Mo Qing left, Shen Miao sat back in her chair and her gaze gradually darkened.

Since Mo Qing was seeking information, he certainly wouldn't miss any clues. Yet, he managed to uncover such information under these circumstances. Either this life was truly different from his previous one, as he had suddenly gone from being the daughter of a Mingqi official to the daughter of a Daliang merchant—a truly bizarre development. Alternatively, the siblings were incredibly skilled at concealing their true identities, their wealth impeccable, leaving no trace of their true identity unnoticed.

In this way, even if she told Madam Ji that these two people had bad intentions, no one would believe her. The merchant brother and sister who grew up in Qinzhou came to Longye for the first time to look for their relatives. Who could believe that they were going to murder the prince's mansion?

She stood up and originally wanted to go see Xie Jingxing, but when she thought about the fact that Li Mei and her brother still regarded themselves as Xie Jingxing's benefactors, and the possible connection between the Daliang royal family and Li Mei and her brother in their previous life, she found it difficult to face it.

In the end, that step was never taken.

…

Weiyang Palace.

Empress Xian De finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the maid's words. A light smile appeared on her face. She said, "Now that he's awake, at least it was safe. Someone, take the two hundred-year-old ginsengs in my box to the Prince's mansion so he can recover." Suddenly remembering something, she asked, "Does the Emperor know about this?"

"Your Majesty already knows." The palace maid said with a smile.

"It's just right. I'll talk to him about this." Empress Xian De was about to stand up.

The palace maid hesitated and said, "His Majesty is currently with Concubine Jing... probably celebrating..."

Empress Xian De paused, then smiled gently and said, "In that case, there is no need for me to go." However, a barely perceptible sadness flashed in her eyes.

"However, Madam, when I heard that His Royal Highness had awakened, I also heard some ladies discussing it, saying..."

"say what?"

"It is said that the princess doesn't seem to like the brother and sister who saved His Royal Highness's life, and she acts very difficult. Maybe it's because she is jealous that they are more beautiful than her, or maybe she simply doesn't want His Royal Highness to be saved..." At the end, her voice gradually weakened, as if she knew that what she said was extremely rebellious.

"Nonsense!" Empress Xian De shouted sternly, "How could the princess not want His Royal Highness to be saved?"

The palace maid was so frightened that she dared not look up again.

Empress Xian De calmed herself down after this stern shout. She said calmly, "Are you saying that the princess is jealous? I think that just being a benefactor can cause such a big storm. This brother and sister are not ordinary people."

The Weiyang Palace was silent, no one spoke. Empress Xian De sat on a high throne, her eyes changing, yet she seemed extremely lonely.

…….

For more than ten days, Shen Miao locked herself in her room, carefully considering a way to achieve the best of both worlds. However, no matter how she thought, she could not be sure that there would be no future trouble. The opportunity that Li Mei's siblings had presented in this life had placed them in a very sensitive position, almost a natural barrier that Shen Miao could not move.

In the past ten days, she has also been deliberately avoiding Xie Jingxing. Because every time she faces Xie Jingxing, countless suspicions will arise in her mind. If the Li Mei siblings were really related to Xie Jingxing in their previous life, Shen Miao really didn't know how to face Xie Jingxing. She was afraid that their fate as husband and wife would inevitably come to an end.
