A few days after Xie Jingxing returned, he had to go to Ruyang again to clean up the mess.
After Xie Jingxing left, Shen Miao was in charge of everything in Prince Rui’s mansion. Prince Rui was influential in Long Ye and his attitude would have a great impact on the trajectory of the situation. Many court officials were watching everything that was happening in Prince Rui’s mansion. The more critical the situation was, the more Shen Miao had to make sure nothing went wrong.
The disaster brought by the Lu family was finally over. Because the Lu family started the rebellion in Ruyang, the commoners of Long Ye were not affected.
The overall situation was stable, and everything began to look no different from before, except for one family, the Ye family.
Ye Maocai had been in the imperial court for decades. When Emperor Yong Le just ascended the throne, he was still a little boy. Now that this little boy had grown into an unfathomable man, his methods were as heartless as his father’s. The Ye family was cornered and was faced with an imminent doom.
Ye Maocai was not as stupid as Lu Zhengchun, nor was he as arrogant as Lu Zhengchun. The power Emperor Yong Le displayed made Ye Maocai understand that the current Ye family did not have the ability to compete with the royal family. The damage they dealt to the royal family was like a tickle, but the damage the royal dealt to them was lethal.
No one wanted to die, and no one could remain calm in the face of imminent death.
Ye Maocai had to start planning an escape for himself. He hoped to protect his only son, but if necessary, he could abandon him. However, the most important thing was that now that the royal family was watching every move of the Ye family, it was very difficult for him to escape.
On this day, when Shen Miao returned home from a madam’s house, it was almost evening. The long summer had finally passed, and the early autumn was starting to manifest itself. The flowers and trees in the courtyard began to lose leaves. As soon as the leaves were swept away, when a gust of wind blew over, a few more would fall. Jingzhe had a headache cleaning the courtyard.
Shen Miao stood at the side of the courtyard. Uncle Tang happened to walk over. When he saw her, he smiled and said, “Madam, the kitchen is making soup. When the soup is ready, I’ll get someone to send it to you. You have been busy these days and must be tired.”
“It’s nothing.” Shen Miao smiled. Thinking of Xie Jingxing, who was still in Ruyang, she couldn’t help but sigh.
Things were far from over. Even if the Ye family was dealt with, what about Ming Qi, which was thousands of miles away? Now, she was worried about two things. On one hand, she was wary of Ming Qi, and on the other hand, she was worried about the Daliang Dynasty. How Long could Emperor Yong Le live?
When would Fu Xiuyi and the State of Qin join forces to attack the Daliang Dynasty? If Emperor Yong Le died, in the royal family of the Daliang Dynasty, only Xie Jingxing could take on the responsibility. At the same time, she would also have to face many problems..
