Xie Jingxing pondered for a moment and said, “Maybe it’s because of you?” “Me?” Shen Miao looked at him.
“Fu Xiuyi suspected that the Daliang Dynasty was the backer of the Shen family. After returning to Long Ye, I also got someone to keep an eye on Fu Xiuyi and found that he was investigating everything I did in the years I spent in the Marquis of Lin’an’s mansion. He might have known my identity. He might have misunderstood the relationship between the Shen family and me and thought that the Shen family had already joined the Daliang Dynasty or had other plans.” He paused for a moment and continued, “Fu Xiuyi is ruthless and paranoid. Once he senses danger, he will definitely get rid of it. As long as the Shen family makes him feel uneasy, he will do his best to eliminate it.” “My family is not safe.” Shen Miao’s eyes turned cold.
“But you don’t have to worry.” Xie Jingxing pinched her face. “I’ve arranged for people in the capital to protect your family.”
!!
“You already arranged people?” Shen Miao asked, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Xie Jingxing said, “Do I have to take credit for such a thing? They’re my family too. Without proper arrangements, how can I let them stay in the capital?”
When Shen Miao heard Xie Jingxing say, “They’re my family too.” Her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey. She smiled and said, “Speaking of which, I didn’t expect the Feng family to actually join forces with my family.” Back then, in order to prevent Feng Anning from going down the path of her previous life, she specially asked Shen Qiu to help take care of the Feng family, but she didn’t know that they would be so close.
“But there’s something I wanted to tell you.” Xie Jingxing suddenly became serious. “Fu Xiuyi has a secret relationship with the emperor of the State of
Qin.”
Shen Miao was stunned and asked, “Does he want to borrow troops from them?” At the mention of this, Shen Miao thought of when she was a hostage in the State of Qin for five years. Now that Fu Xiuyi was not married, could it be that he had found other hostages?
“They might have reached some agreement in private,” Xie Jingxing said.
Shen Miao frowned. “Is he borrowing troops from the State of Qin to help him compete for the throne? If so, it will be no different from inviting wolves home.
I don’t think Fu Xiuyi is that stupid.”
Xie Jingxing lowered his gaze and said, “To deal with the Daliang Dynasty.”
Shen Miao looked at him. “They want to deal with the Daliang Dynasty? They’re crazy.” Although the combined strength of Ming Qi and the State of Qin was much higher than before, the Daliang Dynasty’s strength was still beyond their reach. The best scenario for them if a war broke out would only be a lose-lose situation. We had been living in harmony for so many years, so why would they take the initiative to start a war?
“No one can tolerate a thorn at their side,” Xie Jingxing smiled and said, “Besides, Long Ye is in a mess because of the Lu and Ye families. They have a chance and won’t let go of this opportunity to take advantage of this situation.”
Shen Miao thought about what Xie Jingxing said and said, “You’re right. This day will come sooner or later.” However, starting a war now might not be a good thing for the Daliang Dynasty.
“Don’t worry.” Xie Jingxing rubbed her head. “Leave these to me.”
“I’m the princess consort.” Shen Miao glared at him, very unhappy with his words.
Xie Jingxing looked at her calmly. “Oh, don’t you think it’s a loss to go from the empress to the princess consort?”
“What’s the point of saying this now?” Shen Miao snorted.
Just as Xie Jingxing was about to speak, Hui Xiang knocked on the door and entered. She looked at Shen Miao and then at Xie Jingxing, looking conflicted..
