Luo Tan stood at the side and asked weakly, “Is it really… that magical?”

Shen Miao did not care if it was magical or not. She felt that Daoist Priest Chi Yan was very capable, and the things he gave her should be very precious. Just as Luo Tan said, these were just two ordinary strings, but they meant something profound to her. They were more memorable than gold and silver.

When Xie Jingxing heard this, he did not reject her anymore. Although his eyes were still filled with disdain, he still let Shen Miao put the red string on his wrist.

Xie Jingxing was the elegant and noble Prince Rui, but he was wearing such a girlish thing. Most importantly, this red string did not look expensive. It was really incompatible with the luxurious clothes the two of them were wearing.

Shen Miao said, “Done.”

Xie Jingxing quickly retracted his hand into his sleeve, trying to block the red string.

Luo Tan said, “Alright, I’ve done my job. You seem to have something to do. I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll take my leave first.” She winked at Shen Miao and scurried away.

Shen Miao was speechless. Xie Jingxing said, “Let’s go and watch the fireworks!”

The servants looked puzzled.

Cong Yang asked Tie Yi in a low voice, “Is Master infected with the illness too? Why is he going to watch fireworks in broad daylight?”

Tie Yi handed the broom to him expressionlessly. “Shut up and sweep!”

In Weiyang Palace, Empress Xiande was leaning against the couch and reading. She was reading leisurely as she listened to the palace maid. After listening, she put down the book in her hand and said with a relieved expression, “It’s good that she’s fine. There’s always something going on these days. I plan to go to the temple and pray.”

The assassination attempt on Shen Miao was kept a secret from outsiders, but not from Emperor Yong Le and Empress Xiande. Even Gao Yang was helpless, let alone the imperial physicians in the palace. Speaking of which, it was really strange these days. Things happened one after another in Prince Rui’s mansion. First, it was Xie Jingxing. Xie Jingxing had just escaped a calamity when it happened to Shen Miao. Fortunately, Shen Miao was fine.

Empress Xiande put down her book and was no longer in the mood to read. She stood up and walked to the window. Last night, it rained, and today, the weather cleared up.

She muttered to herself, “Long Ye is not as peaceful as it seems.”

A storm was coming. Ever since Xie Jingxing returned to the Daliang Dynasty,

two accidents had happened. This was a signal. Perhaps it was a warning, or perhaps it was a counterattack because Emperor Yong Le had already started to make a move on the Lu family.

Nanny Tao was Empress Xiande’s old maid. Ever since Empress Xiande was appointed as the empress, she had been by her side. For so many years, she was Empress Xiande’s most loyal aide.

Nanny Tao said, “Today, Consort Jing went to the imperial study to look for His Majesty. When she went, her eyes were filled with tears, and when she came out, she seemed to be in a very bad mood. The palace maids said that after she returned, Consort Jing punished a few servants and smashed many things. She seemed to be in an extremely bad mood.”

Empress Xiande smiled. “The Lu family has suffered a loss and wants to test His Majesty’s attitude, so they will naturally get Consort Jing to do the job.

Didn’t Madam Lu enter the palace to see Consort Jing a few days ago?”

“His Majesty doesn’t seem to have any patience with Consort Jing anymore.”

Nanny Tao said, “Consort Jing has been restraining herself a lot these days. If His Majesty really wants to deal with the Lu family, how should we deal with Consort Jing..

“Let His Majesty decide for himself.” Empress Xiande said indifferently, “Whether he has feelings for Consort Jing or not, I can’t tell.” She looked at the worried Nanny Tao and smiled. “Do you think I still care about who His Majesty is favoring?”

Nanny Tao stopped talking.

Empress Xiande looked out again and said, “Ever since I became the empress, I’ve stopped treating myself as a woman. The wife of an emperor is not a wife. She’s someone who has to bear the burden of the world with him. Fortune or misfortune, I need to go through it with him, and we’ll live and die together. I’ve never been afraid. I just feel sorry…” She looked at her stomach. “That I…

can’t give birth to a child for him. ‘

“If not for Consort Jing back then…” Nanny Tao gritted her teeth, her tone filled with hatred and resentment.

“Forget it.” Empress Xiande waved her hand tiredly. She smiled, but that smile was forced. “With or without Consort Jing back then, it was the same. I would not be able to give birth to that child.” She said softly, “Look at the harem. Who succeeded in giving birth to a child?”

“No, no one can. At least, I still have this position that no one can challenge,” she said..
