    Late at night, Prince Rui’s mansion had already fallen into a deep sleep. In the quiet silence, a voice suddenly sounded. It was Tie Yi who had something to report. Typically, at this hour, Tie Yi would note and disturb Xie Jingxing. Shen Miao was sleeping when she felt Xie Jingxing get up and leave. A momentter, she heard him saying something to someone outside. Then, there was the sound of clothes being put on in the room. She opened her eyes and saw Xie Jingxing standing at the desk to put on his clothes.


    “Did something happen?” she asked.


    Seeing that she was awake, Xie Jingxing said, “Something happened in the pce. I’ll go to the pce to take a look. Sleep first. You don’t have to wait for me.”


    !!


    Hearing this, Shen Miao’s sleepiness dissipated. Since Xie Jingxing was going out in the middle of the night, it meant this matter was definitely serious. She said, “What is it? Is it very serious?”


    “The empress pushed Lu Jing into the pond.” Xie Jingxing said as he put on his robe, “I can’t exin the details in a short time.”


    Shen Miao first heaved a sigh of relief. She thought that someone was assassinated in the pce. When she heard this, she was relieved. However, on second thought, she said in surprise, “Why would the empress push Consort Jing into the pond?” Shen Miao had seen Empress Xiande and Consort Jing. Empress Xiande was not an aggressive person and wouldn’t be bothered to deal with someone like Consort Jing. Shen Miao would believe that Consort Jing pushed Empress Xiande into the pond, but she would never believe that Empress Xiande did it.


    “The Lu family is also in the pce now.” Xie Jingxing said, “They like to kick up a fuss the most. I’ll go and take a look first.”


    Shen Miao quickly stood up. “I’ll go too.”


    “It’s toote.” Xie Jingxing disagreed. “Go to sleep first. Nothing will happen.”


    Shen Miao shook her head. “Since you are already summoned to the pce, it won’t be a simple matter. Anyway, I can’t sleep anymore. If I stay in the mansion alone, I’ll let my imagination run wild. Why don’t I go with you? Perhaps I can help.”


    Xie Jingxing thought for a moment and said, “Forget it. I’m not at ease leaving you here alone. Let’s go.”


    Shen Miao quickly got up to change her clothes.


    Because it was reallyte, the servants were all resting. Xie Jingxing and Shen Miao only brought Tie Yi and Cong Yang. The two of them rode a carriage on the street of Long Ye. There was no one on the street at this moment. Xie


    Jingxing’s expression was a little cold, and Shen Miao was deep in thought.


    Even if Empress Xiande really pushed Consort Jing, there was no need to call Xie Jingxing to the pce in the middle of the night. Moreover, it was almost time for Emperor Yong Le and the Lu family to fall out.


    When Shen Miao was in Ming Qi, she had also seen consorts setting each other up. To anyone with a brain, it was obvious that Consort Jing fell into the pond just to frame the empress. Why did they want Xie Jingxing to go to the pce? Shen Miao felt that this matter was not that simple. However, Tie Yi said that the person who sent the message did not exin it clearly, so the exact situation remained unknown.


    The two of them were deep in thought. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the entrance of the pce. At the entrance was Eunuch Deng. When he saw Xie Jingxing, he was delighted. Then, he was stunned to see Shen Miao jumping down from the carriage. However, he did not dwell on it and smiled. “Prince Rui, you’re finally here. His Majesty is waiting for you in the pce..”
