“If it were you, what would you do?” Xie Jingxing asked.

Shen Miao said, “When I just married you, I definitely wasn’t willing to be a widow for you.”

When Xie Jingxing heard this, he pulled her over and pressed her head on his chest. He smiled and said, “Oh? Do you mean that you are willing to be a widow for me now?” Without waiting for Shen Miao to answer, he said thoughtfully, “In that case, when you married me back then, you also had a feeling for me.”

“No one likes someone like you.” Pressed against his chest, Shen Miao couldn’t breathe. Xie Jingxing said in a lazy voice, “If you like me, just say it. Don’t worry. I definitely won’t make you a widow at such a young age.”

Shen Miao smiled instead of being angry and retorted, ” Don’t worry, in this world, there aren’t many women who are willing to be a widow. Even if widows stay loyal and virtuous, they’ll still be rumored. There is no shortage of gigolos in Long Ye.” The longer she was with Xie Jingxing, the less restrained she became, and she no longer put on a dignified aura.

As expected, when he heard this, Xie Jingxing paused and stared at her intently. He said, “Are you going to look for a gigolo?” His tone was gentle, but Shen Miao felt an inexplicable chill on the back of her neck. Before she could speak, Xie Jingxing suddenly picked her up horizontally and stood up. He strode towards the bed, scaring Shen Miao so much that she screamed. Xie Jingxing said calmly, “It seems like you need to be taught a lesson.”

Tie Yi, who was guarding outside, was so embarrassed by the conversation that his face turned red.

The couple was intimate for a long time before finally stopping. Shen Miao leaned against Xie Jingxing’s arm and nudged him, asking, “You haven’t answered me yet. Does the empress know or not?”

“She is such a smart woman. If she found out that she was deceived, the palace would be in a mess.” Xie Jingxing sighed and said, “When my mother was choosing a wife for my brother, she once called my sister-in-law into the palace to talk to her about something. Needless to say, it was about my brother’s illness.”

Shen Miao said, “Knowing that he’s sick, she was still willing to marry him. It seems like the empress really likes the emperor.”

Xie Jingxing did not speak.

Empress Xiande came from a family of historians. In fact, in terms of real power, her family was inferior to many families. However, in the end, Empress Xiao still chose Empress Xiande as her daughter-in-law because Empress Xiande’s family was absolutely loyal. Empress Xiande was also gentle, honest, smart, and generous.

Empress Xiande’s family was loyal. As for whether Empress Xiande had feelings for Emperor Yong Le or not, it was unknown. After all, it was a luxury to have true love in the royal family. However, Empress Xiande had always been calm about the fact that Emperor Yong Le would not live past the age of 35.

Shen Miao said, “She should plan for herself.”

Xie Jingxing smiled. “My sister-in-law is very smart and not greedy..”
