Chapter 1045 Fu Ming (6)
Shen Miao agreed, and as she was speaking, she saw Aunt Tao and a little palace maid coming over. Aunt Tao said, "Concubine Hui and Concubine Ning are arguing in the Flower Pavilion. They are at a critical juncture. Would Your Majesty like to go over and take a look?"
With Concubine Jing's pregnancy, the other women in the palace have begun to fret. Previously, they were childless, so whether or not they were favored by the emperor was irrelevant. But now, with one person ascending to the throne, everyone else is eager to pursue it. Everyone has their own selfish desires, and conflicts are more numerous than before. Furthermore, many ministers are plotting to send women to Emperor Yongle's side. The harem, once peaceful, is now awash with unrest. While not a major event, the constant occurrence is frustrating.
Empress Xian De showed an unhappy expression on her face. No matter how good-tempered a person is, they will always be in a bad mood if they are troubled by such troubles all day long.
"Your Highness, please go and take a look first." Shen Miao said, "Don't worry about me." She had no intention of following Empress Xian De to see the excitement. After all, the Longye harem had nothing to do with Shen Miao, let alone help. Empress Xian De had no choice but to stand up and said to Shen Miao, "I will go to the Flower Pavilion first. Your Highness can rest here and drink tea. If you feel bored, you can take a walk in the garden. As long as you don't go too far, it will be fine."
Shen Miao had Ba Jiao and Fennel by her side, both of whom were skilled in martial arts, so she was not afraid of any accidents. Moreover, the palace was full of guards, so it was naturally safe.
Shen Miao agreed, and Empress Xian De and Aunt Tao walked away. Shen Miao held the teacup, but Empress Xian De's words came to her mind.
She always felt that Empress Xian De's words were full of hidden meaning. She had also thought about this before: if Emperor Yongle really didn't live long, who would rule the Daliang after his death? Concubine Jing hadn't been pregnant before, so it seemed that their plan wasn't to have an heir of Emperor Yongle inherit the throne. Furthermore, Emperor Yongle himself was still tainted by the poison, and any child he gave birth to might be born with congenital deficiencies and would certainly be unable to carry on the great cause. In this case, the only person with royal bloodline and qualified to inherit the Daliang throne would be Xie Jingxing.
Did Xie Jingxing become an emperor in his previous life? At least when she died and Ming Qi fell, Emperor Yongle was still alive, and Xie Jingxing was just leading the army to conquer the world.
So, would Xie Jingxing be the emperor in this life? If Xie Jingxing became the emperor, she would definitely be the empress. Since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for a harem with only one person. She was firm in what she said to Empress Xian De. She really would not tolerate her husband having other women. If this possibility came true, all Shen Miao could do was say, "Since you have no intention, I will let it go." She would cut off all ties with Xie Jingxing.
But fate is hard to come by, and she doesn't want to sever the fate of husband and wife that has been accumulated over two lifetimes.
She felt a little depressed, so she stood up and planned to walk to the pond to get some fresh air. Star Anise and Fennel followed her.
The garden is densely populated with trees, and under the layers of trees, there are winding paths, one leading to another, leading to all directions. There are new views in every place, which is very elegant.
However, Shen Miao had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery. She walked to the edge of the pond, and the cool breeze blew on her face, making her feel refreshed and comfortable, and also calmed her down.
After standing for a while, she decided to return to the stone table where she had been sitting, figuring that Empress Xian De would be back soon. Before leaving, she casually glanced at the woods to the side.
Just this glimpse.
Shen Miao suddenly stopped!
She stared at the side, feeling the blood in her body rushing to her head, almost losing her balance. This made Bajiao and Fennel look to the side nervously, but they saw nothing.
Shen Miao suddenly pushed aside the bushes in front of her and ran towards the path beside her.
"Madam!" Star Anise and Fennel were startled and hurriedly followed.
Shen Miao ran very fast, and she was completely unaware that her hair and clothes were rubbing against the dust on the branches. Looking closely, her hands were still shaking violently, her lips were white, and her eyes were wide open. She did not dare to relax even a little bit.
She saw it! The boy's face, hidden among the branches of the trees, had a slightly shy smile and a familiar expression. It was Fu Ming!
Her son, Fu Ming!
There was no mistake, no mistake. Shen Miao ran desperately, but the paths in the Imperial Garden led to different places. The trees were dense, and the young man disappeared in a flash, almost making her think it was an illusion.
There is no road ahead, only a corner of the dark lake, a rockery and a long pavilion.
Shen Miao couldn't find the young man. Fennel and Bajiao followed behind and saw Shen Miao standing there, not knowing what she was thinking, with a very distraught look on her face.
Before the three of them could make any other movement, they suddenly heard a woman's short scream from the front, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
"thump!"
