Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xie Jingxing had only been gone for less than ten days, but the days seemed to have passed much slower than when he was around. Nothing much had changed, but Shen Miao felt like everything had changed.

Some people from the Black Feather Army were left to guard Prince Rui’s mansion. Tie Yi and Cong yang left with Xie Jingxing. Madam Ji did not intend to let Ji Yushu go. After all, there was only one child in the Ji family. However, Ji Yushu had always been willful and unrestrained. He left a letter and mixed into the army. When Madam Ji found out, she wanted to chase after him, but she was stopped by Marquis Ji. Marquis Ji said, “It’s good to let him experience some hardship to sharpen his mind.”

Therefore, almost all the people who were good friends with Shen Miao seemed to have left overnight. After Gao Yang left, the Gao family sent someone to treat Ye Hongguang. Ye Hongguang was still asleep.

Luo Tan seemed to have grown up a lot in a day. She no longer went out to fool around. Occasionally, she would discuss the situation of Ming Qi with Shen Miao. Shen Miao told her everything that had happened in Ming Qi while they were gone, including Fu Xiuyi, Emperor Wen Hui, and the crackdown on the Luo family and the Shen family.

The days went on as usual, and the people of Long Ye did not show any signs of panic. Perhaps it was because they were especially confident in the soldiers, or perhaps it was because they had enjoyed peace for so long that they forgot what a war was like, so they were not afraid.

Shen Miao had an extremely good relationship with the madams of the noble families. This was naturally because she had deliberately roped them in, and those madams were very smart. The greatest threat to the royal family, the Lu and Ye families, had already disappeared from the world. Now that the Daliang Dynasty was in charge of the royal family, and Prince Rui was also a member of the royal family, they naturally wanted to suck up to Shen Miao.

Shen Miao often went to the palace to see Empress Xiande these days. Shen Miao liked to talk to Empress Xiande. The two of them talked about history and the current situation. Their opinions were surprisingly compatible. Empress Xiande also liked her. Every time they talked, time seemed to pass quickly.

On this day, Shen Miao was going out again, planning to enter the palace to see Empress Xiande.

The closer it was to autumn, the colder it felt. Uncle Tang brought in a bowl of goat milk soup. It was probably because Xie Jingxing was gone, Uncle Tang had nothing to do all day long. Apart from occasionally being instructed by Shen Miao to deal with the matters in the shops, he had nothing to do most of the time. He had been inventing all kinds of dishes to let Shen Miao try, “When Master comes back and sees that Madam has lost weight and become haggard, he will definitely blame me. I’ve made you something delicious. It’s good for your health.”

Jingzhe said, “This goat milk smells so good.”

“This goat milk is especially sweet.” Uncle Tang said, “Madam, after drinking this bowl, you will feel warm and won’t catch a cold on the way to the palace.” He glanced outside and said, “The weather has turned cold these few days.”

Shen Miao smiled and said, “Thank you, Uncle Tang.” She picked up the bowl and took a sip.

After taking a sip, she felt her stomach churn and she almost wanted to vomit. She put down the bowl and covered her mouth, frowning..
