Venomous Empress Reborn
Chapter 906 - 906 Secret (5)
906 Secret (5)
Xie Jingxing laughed and stared at her. “Don’t I have a poisonous snake by my side already? A beautiful snake.”
Shen Miao couldn’t be bothered to talk to him and said, “The Ye family… What do you think of the Ye family?”
Xie Jingxing thought for a moment. “The Ye family is smarter than the Lu family and knows how to endure. Perhaps because they don’t have many offspring, they’re not as arrogant as the Lu family. My brother and I plan to start with the Ye family to sow discord between the Ye and Lu families.”
Shen Miao narrowed her eyes. For some reason, when she faced Madam Ye today, she felt that the Ye family was not as easy to deal with as she thought. However, this thought came out of nowhere, and she did not know what was going on.
Xie Jingxing saw the strange expression on her face and asked, “You seem to have something to say?”
Shen Miao shook her head, thinking to herself that she was probably overthinking. She asked, “Will you participate in the hunt this time? Madam Ji told me to be careful. It makes me feel very strange.”
Xie Jingxing’s expression turned cold as he said, “This time, even if you don’t want to go, you have to.”
“Why?”
“This year is the 60th festival set by the late emperor. In the hunt, my brother has to hunt a male lion in the hunting ground to be sacrificed for the good weather next year and to prove that he is qualified to be the emperor.”
“A male lion?” Shen Miao said, “This is considered a ferocious beast.” In ordinary hunting grounds, safety was naturally the most important. After all, the people who came to hunt were all high-ranking officials and nobles. It was not good to lose their lives.
“Wild beasts are nothing to be afraid of.” Xie Jingxing curled his lips and smiled coldly. “Wild beasts don’t know how to shoot arrows in secret. It’s much safer than humans.”
“Only the imperial guards can be allowed to enter. This is a rule set by the late emperor. It’s hard to say if the imperial guards are loyal or not.” Xie Jingxing raised an eyebrow. “So you have to understand that this is a show for the world to see. My brother and I have no choice.”
He glanced at the worried Shen Miao and pinched her face. “But don’t worry, you’ll be fine. Although you’ll go as a consort of the royal family, you don’t have to enter the main venue.”
Shen Miao asked, “Are you confident?” A trace of an ominous feeling flashed across her heart, so she couldn’t relax.
Xie Jingxing stared at her and slowly shook his head. “No.”
Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat.
Xie Jingxing smiled. “I was lying to you.”
Shen Miao glared at him. Xie Jingxing stretched and said leisurely, “After the hunt, I’ll tell you about what happened in the palace so that you won’t have to think about it all day long.” He said with a faint smile, “You’re also a member of the Xie family now. You have to bear some responsibility.”
Shen Miao became nervous. Was Xie Jingxing planning to tell her his secret? How exactly did Xie Jingxing end up in the capital of Ming Qi? She felt that there was something else going on.
Although she was happy that she could know the secrets, she still felt extremely uneasy about this royal hunt. It was as if something bad was about to happen. Her heart was beating rapidly. Although she tried her best to calm down, she was still in a state of panic.
She clenched her fists in silence.
