Lu Zhengchun glanced at Empress Xiande and held his breath. Back then, when Emperor Yong Le doted on Consort Jing, they hoped that Consort Jing would replace Empress Xiande. However, no one could find any fault with Empress Xiande. Lu Jing tried to persuade Emperor Yong Le countless times, but in the end, Emperor Yong Le did not have the intention of deposing the empress. It was not easy for Lu Jing to be pregnant. However, at this critical moment, when the Lu family thought that they could turn the table around, Lu Jing died.

In fact, Lu Zhengchun also knew that it was too late to say anything now. However, he was indignant and hoped that Emperor Yong Le could make it up to him. Although he was angry today, he was actually not sad about his daughter’s tragic death. He was just feeling sorry for his grandchild. When Xie Jingxing suddenly appeared, Lu Zhengchun had to restrain himself. In terms of ruthlessness, Prince Rui was unmatched.

Knowing that he was destined to go back empty-handed today, Lu Zhengchun said unwillingly, “As you wish.’

A trace of killing intent flashed across Emperor Yong Le’s eyes.

The Lu couple left. From the time they entered the palace until they left, they

After they left, Emperor Yong Le said, “You all can go back too.”

Empress Xiande looked at Emperor Yong Le in surprise. Ye Mei and Ye Hongguang were both suspects. However, Emperor Yong Le did not seem to intend to pursue the matter. Empress Xiande was puzzled. When she saw that Emperor Yong Le was clenching his hands, she was shocked and immediately said, “That’s right. Let’s go back now.”

Xie Jingxing frowned, but he did not say anything. He only glanced coldly at Ye Mei and the servant who was pushing Ye Hongguang. He slowly stood up and left. He said, “Since there’s nothing else to do, I’ll take my leave first.” Xie Jingxing had never hidden his emotions in front of Emperor Yong Le. Clearly, he was not very happy with the way Emperor Yong Le handled this matter.

Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing left the Jinghua Palace together. When they walked out of the palace, they happened to meet Ye Mei and Ye Hongguang. Shen Miao was slightly stunned when she saw that Ye Hongguang suddenly ordered the servant who was pushing him to stop and turned to look at Shen Miao, as if he had something to say to her.

Xie Jingxing’s expression immediately turned solemn. Now that the people of the Ye family were all classified as dangerous people by him, what if something happened to Shen Wan when she got close to them? Therefore, he followed closely, and the dagger in his sleeve quietly slipped out of its sheath.

Shen Miao watched as the young man stopped in front of her. Not far away, Ye Mei was looking over with a nervous expression. It seemed that she wanted to come over and stop Ye Hongguang, but Tie Yi and Cong Yang stopped her, so she did not dare to move at all.

Ye Hongguang looked up at her, his face red. He seemed to want to say something but hesitated. In the end, he did not say anything. He glanced at Shen Miao and pushed the wheelchair away.

Xie Jingxing raised an eyebrow, as if he did not understand what Ye Hongguang meant. Shen Miao looked at his back with a complicated expression.

In the carriage, Xie Jingxing noticed that Shen Miao had been abnormally quiet, so he said, “Get the Black Feather Army to lock that kid up in the jail prison for a day or two. When he’s tortured enough, he’ll come clean
