Chapter 905 Secret (4)
However, the Ye and Lu families have been friends for so many years, and their interests are deeply intertwined. The Ye family has the Lu family's weaknesses, and the Lu family also has leverage over the Ye family. It is not easy to drive a wedge between them.
Shen Miao was so lost in thought that she didn't even notice the carriage had returned to Prince Rui's mansion. It wasn't until she heard Bajiao calling out "Master" that someone tapped her forehead and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Only then did Shen Miao see Xie Jingxing. He had returned early today, still wearing his dark red official uniform, looking very imposing. Shen Miao was startled, and hurriedly pulled his sleeve towards the study, saying, "That's perfect. I have something to ask you..."
Xie Jingxing was stunned at first, then helplessly let her drag him forward. Bajiao and Guyu were stunned. Bajiao smiled and said, "Madam, you are really proactive."
Guyu said: "That's as it should be!"
Uncle Tang appeared from behind and said darkly, "What are you looking at? Go get to work!"
Bajiao and Guyu stuck out their tongues and hurried away. Uncle Tang looked at the closed door, shook his head, and sighed, "There's no blood, how can it be considered proactive?"
…
Inside the room, Shen Miaocai told Xie Jingxing what happened today. Xie Jingxing asked, “Royal hunting?”
Shen Miao nodded: "It seems a little unusual."
"The royal hunting on the second day of June every year is a custom passed down by the late emperor." Xie Jingxing said lazily, "But my brother and I are just strolling around outside and won't go deep into it."
"Why?" Shen Miao asked.
"Danger." Xie Jingxing lowered his voice.
Shen Miao was stunned.
Xie Jingxing saw her expression and smiled. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you scared?"
"What do I have to be afraid of?" Shen Miao looked at him, "Are you saying that someone will attack the Emperor and you? It's a royal hunt, and there are only guards inside. Who would have such courage?"
"You've seen the Mo Yu Army," Xie Jingxing suddenly changed the subject and said, "They are my people. They have nothing to do with the Daliang army. My royal brother also knows this. Do you know why I maintain a private army?"
“Because the royal army cannot be trusted?” Shen Miao asked quickly, but she was a little bit unbelievable in her heart.
Xie Jingxing snapped his fingers.
Shen Miao was speechless.
Legend has it that Emperor Yongle was a wise ruler of Daliang, revered by all the children of Daliang. While the common people seemed to agree, the loyalty of his officials, soldiers, and ministers seemed less than legendary. The Daliang royal family itself was devoid of intrigue; the only threats were external ones.
The imperial army was passed down from generation to generation. In other words, the troops passed down by the previous emperor were unwilling to serve the current Yongle Emperor. Thinking of the coldness in Xie Jingxing's tone towards the previous emperor, Shen Miao felt a little curious. She hesitated for a moment, looked at Xie Jingxing, and asked, "Speaking of which, what was the hidden story behind your exile to Mingqi Dingjing?"
Hearing this, Xie Jingxing’s eyes slightly changed, Shen Miao, who was sitting next to him, could sense the coldness of his mood at the moment.
After a moment, Xie Jingxing smiled, reached out and touched Shen Miao's head, and said: "Why do you have so many questions? Do you want to know my secret again? If you want to know, come and exchange it yourself." He smiled ambiguously: "My body is also fine."
Shen Miao rolled her eyes at him.
Xie Jingxing continued, "However, you don't seem to be angry at all about what Lu Wan'er said?" He was slightly dissatisfied, "Someone coveted your husband, and you didn't get furious? Shen Jiaojiao, you really have no conscience."
Shen Miao said, "You wouldn't agree anyway, would you? The Lu family is very ambitious, and you probably aren't so bold as to keep a poisonous snake by your side."
