Venomous Empress Reborn

Chapter 949 - 949 Consort Mei (6)

949 Consort Mei (6)

Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat. Involuntarily, her heart tightened. That clear and low voice sounded very familiar, but she could not remember who it belonged to. However, at this moment, her body was trembling. She lowered her head to look at her hands. Her sleeves were long, and only her fingertips were exposed. However, her fair fingertips, which were dirty, were trembling violently.

The next moment, Ji Yushu said, “Don’t say that. When my third brother wakes up, I will definitely let the two of you compete. He likes smart people the most and will definitely admire you.”

The curtain of the main hall was lifted, and two people walked in. Ji Yushu was walking at the front. When he suddenly saw Shen Miao, he was stunned. Then, ignoring the presence of the madams, he walked forward and called out, “Sister-in-law!” Then he said in a low voice, “You’re back. I asked TIe Yi many times to tell me where you went, but he refused to say a word. Where exactly did you go?”

Shen Miao did not answer him. She stared at the person walking behind Ji Yushu.

It was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. His facial features were very ordinary, but he was able to attract people’s attention because he exuded the aura of a “smart person”. He was wearing a pine-colored robe and green boots. His eyes were like the summer sun, warm and passionate, but with a faint fanaticism.

Shen Miao wobbled and she almost fell down. Luo Tan quickly held her from behind, thinking that she was too tired from the night before and couldn’t hold on anymore.

Madam Ji said, “This is one of the people who saved Jingxing, Young Master Li.”

The young man bowed to Shen Miao and smiled. “I…”

“Li Ke!”

Shen Miao shouted in her heart. She would never forget this name and this pair of seemingly warm eyes! This official who was promoted to be Fu Xiuyi’s right-hand man in just a few years and was almost on par with Pei Lang, this biological brother of Consort Mei, Li Ke!

She did not expect that in this unfamiliar country, in her mansion, and in a room full of people, Li Ke would appear in front of her again.

Her face suddenly turned pale. On one hand, she was rationally reminding herself not to do anything strange in front of these madams, but on the other hand, she stared at Li Ke fiercely, wishing she could rush up and tear this person into pieces, drink his blood, and eat his flesh!

The reason why she ended up in such a tragic state in her previous life was because of this pair of siblings. Consort Mei won Fu Xiuyi’s heart, and Li Ke relied on his sister to get promoted. The siblings joined hand to gain a foothold in the palace. Consort Mei thought of a way to get Wanyu to marry into the Xiongnu, and Li Ke thought of a way to persuade Fu Xiuyi to abolish the crown prince. Consort Mei caused the entire first branch of the Shen family to be eradicated while Li Ke had a deep relationship with Shen Gui and Shen Wan.

Shen Miao knew that she had to face this pair of siblings sooner or later! However, she did not expect to meet them here, and nor did she expect them to be Xie Jingxing’s benefactors.

Shen Miao’s fierce gaze stunned Madam Ji for a moment. Madam Ji asked, “Jiao…”

“Where is the other benefactor?” Shen Miao smiled and slowly looked away. Her tone was strange.

“Just now, the maid accidentally spilled tea on her. I asked her to change her clothes and come over,” Madam Ji said.

As she spoke, Ji Yushu looked at the door and said, “she’s here.”

The woman had a good figure and she walked gracefully. As the curtain was lifted, the noon sun shone on her face, making her look ethereal. She had a gentle smile and was dazzling.

Shen Miao stood in the room, her clothes disheveled and her face pale. She stared at the woman like a hungry wolf, a fierce tiger, and a poisonous snake and beast waiting for an opportunity to attack.

That person wore her clothes and came to her mansion. She saved her husband and was now mounting the high horse.

Shen Miao was again pushed to comfort her mortal enemy of two lifetimes.

“Greetings, Your Highness,” the woman said.

This was Shen Miao’s sworn enemy, Consort Mei.
