Chapter 230: Expedition (Part 1)

Two days after Ye Mei and sibling fled, Ehtered the entire Ye fa Xuan’s rebellionIt waswith the Ye family than the Lu family as the Ye family relied on the Lu family for support and thus when the Lu family fell, one Ye fah when Ye Mao Cai was alive, he had lots of connections and followers, under E Le’s iron hands, everyone could see clearly it clearly and fear was born, thus one dared not be as arrogant as before

Ye Mao Cai’s cri Le and would be beheaded at noonSpeaking of which, Ye Mao Cai was not accused wronglyIn the stuff that Shen Miao exchanged with Ye Mei, she had picked up a few that was related to the Imperial family and handed it over to Empress Xian DeIn order to control the Imperial family, Ye Mao Cai had s beca the Ye fa beheaded at noon, the Ie

The Mo Yun Ar would frequently send news back indicated that their escape was very snised siblings of the Ye family had died at the cliffs with the reason that one did not see clearly the roads when fleeing and fell off the cliff, dying without a full bodyEven though Great Liang’s soldiers did continue searching, they were unable to discover any traces of theht that no one in the Ye fa GuangShen Miao instructed Mo Qing to arrange but Ye Hong Guang had not woken up till now and Gao Yang said that it depends on Ye Hong Guang hiht be a scenario that he would continue to sleep forever

As for Xie Jing Xing, he returned on a rainy night

In a burst of autu under the lantern as the raindrops hit the s and created little pattering soundsThe weather had gradually cooled down and the tea on the table quickly became cold

The doors was pushed open and a little of the wind and rain outside was also brought inShen Miao turned her head back as Xie Jing Xing closed the doors and walked inHis clothes were someet because of the rain and as he took of his coat, he saw SHen Miao staring at him and his lips could not help but curl as he head towards her side and pinched her face, “It is not goodMy Furen has become silly”

Shen Miao pushed away his hands, “Why do you coe?”

When Xie Jing Xing left, it was for a nue overEven if Shen Miao had a good temper, she would be soe that he was safe and soundThe entire residence did not know his whereabouts,coaxed her, “I am afraid if one spoke to you then one would want to return backOne has no choice with Imperial Older Brother’s rabbed onto Shen Miao’s shoulder and said with a smile but not a smile, “If one knew early that Furen missed ht as well not return” Shen Miao’s anger was not dissipated

Xie Jing Xing thought for a reat justice, “How about this? In order to compensate Furen, I will be in your le”

SHen Miao could not help but laughed, “You are sick”

When Xie Jing Xing saw her laughing, she then said, “Well coaxedBut upon my return, one had heard about a matter” He looked at Shen Miao, “You let Ye Mei escape?”

“Not let her escape” Shen Miao said, “She wanted to go to Ming Qi and also stole Great Liang’s secret that Ye Mao Cai collectedOne thing think that would use that to rely on Ming Qi’s noblesI had exchange her things and gave her soht that it would play a bigger roleIt ht be the case that with these, she could even becohtly startled and afterwards understood her intentions as his eyes glittered, “This method of Furen’s is indeed very malicious!”

Ye Mei was filled with joy as she looked for Ming Qi’s nobles with these ‘precious’ thingsWith such an i as those nobles were not foolish, they would definitely make use of it and present it to Fu Xiu Yi for meritsHowever ould know that these militaryas Fu Xiu Yi folloas on it to fight, one feared that he would not even kno he died

Shen Miao raise her brows, “I aansSo what of it?”

“Very good” Xie Jing Xing said leisurely, “I like malicious woman”

“Afterwards I have ave to Ye Mei” Shen Miao said, “I will give it to you laterMing Qi and Great Liang would at the end fight and at that ti, ht about it and added, “It is best to give Fu Xiu Yi so so that he would believe that these things are realAfter he has investigated that it is real, he would definitely use it to arrange the a sood”

“When are you leaving?” Shen Miao asked

After re then said, “You know?”

“How long do you think you can hide it?” Shen Miao sighedSeeing that Xie Jing Xing was not speaking, she instead smiled, “Consent” She then poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xie Jing Xing, “Using tea in the absence of wine to wish you a s was startled but he took the teacup and looked at Shen Miao

“If you win, gift me a hen you return” She said

“What wish do you want?” Xie Jing Xing’s brows raised and there was a sht about it and said, “Let it be owed firstI have not thought about it and will infor snapped his fingers, “I too have a wish that you must satisfy me now”

“What?”

He carried Shen Miao on his shoulder and walked towards the back, “Accompany me to bath”

Shen Miao, “…”

A lot of the flowers in Wei Yang Palace had fallen

During spring, it was filled with dense lush flowers but in the autumn, it would be empty and would look particularly bleakHowever the palacepurple, white and yellow buds had signs of bloo so in the autue it?

As the autumn rain drifted in, some of it was blown into the roomTao GuGu closed the s properly and placed two s Le was half leading against the couch

He was actually very handsoh he always had a cold appearance and had no expression, his beauty was neglectedWhat people saas the indifference of an E away the identity of E Le, no one knehat kind of person XIe Chi was

Perhaps there were two exceptionsFirst was Xie Yuan, Prince Rui, and the other was E Xiao was considered one but she had since departed so it was useless to sayflower tea at the moment

With the collected petals, the first snow that was buried under the tree and adding a spoonful of honey as a sht sweet scent was slowly disperse from the small potWith the freshly baked osmanthus pastry that the Imperial Kitchens sent over, it was so warm and sweet that the sweetness entered one’s heart

Empress Xian De picked up a cup of tea and handed it over to E Le

“Last year ChenQie came to collect the first snoith Qiu Shui” Empress Xian De tasted it and s in winter, ChenQie will collect againIf the E to take a look”

E Le looked at her and paused for a , “This winter, if Zhen is here, one will accompany you”

Ee drop of tea spilt over and landed on the back of her hand,Le saw it, he easily picked up the handkerchief by the side and took her hand as he rubbed and blamed her, “Why so careless?”

That water was not dried up but became even more

Empress Xian De had cried

Her tears dripped onto her back of her hand too and it arm but seemed to be hotter than the tea that scalded herShe said, “Why does the Es toLe paused and looked at her, “Qing Zhen…”

“Ever since ChenQie entered the Palace, one had sit on this position of the E that one should know and should not knowChenQie do not have half a resentment to air on what the Emperor doesBut even if one come to such a point, Your Majesty will treat me like this too?” Her words were all complaints but her tone of voice was very calry with E me and just have to make me stay sober till the last momentBut does the Emperor kno painful it is to stay awake?”

E ti time later, he picked up the handkerchief and wiped the tears at the back of E Zhen, in this lifetime other than Imperial Mother, the woman that Zhen let down is you aloneYou are the only one that can stand by Zhen’s side”

“Zhen clearly understand the feeling of being awakeZhen have no other choice”

Empress Xian De looked at the tea in her cup, “Your Majesty has decided?”

“Zhen has decidedThat year Ie numbers in the empire under HeavensZhen cannot be a hero but before one life is gone, one is already satisfied forto such a state and ended the Lu and Ye familiesThe rest of the road would be up to Xie Yuan to walkAll the things that coe but…” He paused and continue speaking, “Zhen still hop that it would be like what I would prosper, have a clean reputation and the Imperial position of the E Zhen,” Ened, “Zhen do not knohen one would collapse and do not knoill one wake upIf that day cos that Zhen had instructed youAfter that, you can live the days you wantBe it awake or confused, as long as you are happy”

Empress Xian De’s head was bowed as she repeatedly stroke the edges of the teacupAfter a long ti Le and there was a little s the first ti ChenQie, ChenQie brewed flower tea for Your Majesty to drink?”

At that tiht her to the Palace to er was choosing a wife for E LeThat day, there were also other official’s daughters that came and they knew the four scholarly arts and perforh ranking position

It was just here who sat at the corner and s, as if she was not concern about all of these at allNoposition of an E entered her eyes

E Xiao asked her what talents she had

At that tihter is dull and has no skillsJust on normal days at home, one would brew tea for Father and Older Brother and they all find it good”

At that tis like brewing tea should be handed by servantsA noble young lady should practice on so oneself as aXiao was however very satisfied

Afterwards E Le, “AiJia see that Jing Zhen is a good childWith the character of brewing tea, she is steady and has a clam mind, thus able to ith you for a life ti waves or flood she would be able to endure hardshi+p gladlyThis is good and hard to co Xiao’s words, he could not help but look at E the petals that were floating on top of the tea

Ever since Empress Xian De entered the Palace and after soXiao had said, she was a person as steady and calmShe would not ask more or meddle and just sit quietlyIt was as if as the ti at a corner with a cup of tea in her hands as she sly

Eently, “Emperor, let us not think about other matters todaySince autumn has arrived, then let’s relax today and be like the past, drink some tea, play soht?”

“Alright” E Le said as he nodded his head

He replied frankly and even his always indifferent and rigid face had a slight s Empress Xian De surpriseAfter she reacted to it, as if she feared Eot up and said, “Then ChenQie would bring over that jade chess that Jing Xing previously giftedAfter Jing Xing gifted, Your Majesty only played with ChenQie onceIt is indeed a waste of such good chess pieces”

Eet it”

“She does not knohere it is” Empress Xian De said, “ChenQie hid itYour Majesty just wait here for ChenQie” She lifted her skirt and soed to the back

Empress Xian De had always had a soft appearance and there was rare for her to be like this but it also displayed a long unseen young feaze becahed violently twiceHe took a handkerchief from his slevves to cover his mouth and use that handkerchief to wipe hiscould be seen

That handkerchief was on his palm and a little blush was exposed

It was very eye-catching

He paused and placed the handkerchief into his sleeves and watch Eed over with that chess box and s had happened at all

Chapter 230: Expedition (Part 2)

In the following days, it was abnor water, as if nothing bad had ever happenedIt was as if all the dust has settled and everywhere was peaceful

These days Xie Jing Xing and Shen Miao were in Long Ye, shopping around during the day or playing the Qin and writing wordsOccasionally when Xie Jing Xing was in theover to co else with Luo TanDuring the night, she would have discussion with Xie Jing Xing on those few ood at attacking and the other was good at defense, thus during sche was overbearing and could not continuousthe enemies but there were risks if one were to attack directlyEvery ti with his decision that he would bang the tables but Shen Miao could not be bothered about hiht, he would sneak back when there was no one around

Shen Miao use the words at hi would flip over and pin her below hi another method for ‘punishment’

The days passed steadily but everyone knew in their hearts that they were indulging before the separationOnce the war began, it was inevitable to separate and those days of separation would depend on the lingeringthese days

That day had finally co Qi crossed the border between two countries and launched an attack on the guards at the borderAt the other side, Qin country used a water route and landed on a fishi+ng village at the North of Great Liang and carried out athat as a base, they entered Great Liang and launch a war

The war had startedBe it that Ming Qi and Qin country was advancing secretly or keeping the entire world in the dark, it was anyways ‘living up to expectations’, unable to control one’s teantTo say it with such a fanfare, it showed that one had great confidence

Would Great Liang fight or not?

Naturally fight!

Prince Rui sub Le personally conferred and ordered three hundred thousand troops for an expedition

This was not only counterattacking the invasion of other nationsIt was a determination to break the three country situation and push the wheel of history forward

Heroes would vie for supre winds and scudding cloudsChivalrous and outstanding people would take their stand and talents would eenerationsSince ancient ti turbulent times and it was the sa was not di Prince Rui in front of the expedition, there was a surge of noble aspirations and pride

The date to set off for the expedition was fixed for toEver since she cas with Shen MiaoPreviously she had so but later it was resolvedEven though Gao Yang was a person who loved to tease others and was not the jade like gentleman that he appeared to be… He treated her well and was considered a good person

Luo Tan originally wanted to follow Gao Yang to Ming Qi because she previously secretly followed Shen Miao to Great LiangNow it had been so long and with Fu Xiu Yi beginning to deal with the Shen family, naturally he would not let the Luo family offLuo Tan wanted to move forward or retreat with the family

But in Luo Sui’s letter, it instructed her to reFirst was that Luo Tan would not be any help when she return and oodSecond, Shen Miao would be re Ye and with Luo Tan with her, there would always so Qi and it was indeed true that one could not leave Shen Miao alone in Long YeThus Luo Tan could only re start to pack up his stuff as he place some medicine and herbs into boxes and instructed people to carry those boxes out

Luo Tan sat on a chair and silently watched his everypacked, he looked up and saw Luo Tan staring at hie and said, “Normally you will be noisy, for you to be this quiet today, is one in a badto the journey, onechoked, “Me protecting hi me”

“But you are his subordinate” Luo Tan said aardly, “Of course, you should also paywas startled and upon hearing clearly what she said, he s all day and it was also true that Gao Yang was also very fond of bullying herThese two people would fight all day and it was rare for them to talk nicelyLuo Tan’s personality was very open and it was rare for her to resIt was considered very rare to speak to Gao Yang like this

Gao Yang approached her and deliberately asked, “Pay more attention to what?”

He was born with a handsoentlehtiness in his sely blushed and pushed hirily, “What else to pay attention to? Pay attention not to die”

“Is it that you will feel good if I a fanned himself, “Then the entire Gao residence would be occupied by youThe servants would be ordered around by you, the gold and valuables would be used by you and those shops and…”

“WaitWait” As Luo Tan listen, she felt that his words were getting stranger and quickly interrupted his words, “Who would cherish your things? There are no shortages of it in ht? These are all your Gao fa to do withtosaid, “What does it have to do with you? Don’t you know it yourself?”

“Knohat?” Luo Tan wonder and teifted to you? And you are actually my Father’s people?” She slammed her mouth shut and said in alar, “…”

After a while, he then signed resigned and knocked Luo Tan’s forehead, “Normally you are quick witted but why be so stupid now?”

Luo Tan said, “Hey! Speak clearly!”

Gao Yang suddenly put a finger on Luo Tan’s lips and made a ‘shh’ actionLuo Tan was startled and only felt that the area where Gao Yang’s fingers was touching started to beco about the relations you and I haveTellplace a medical book on Luo Tan’s head, “Now helphe started to pack up

Luo Tan looked at his back view but unexpectedly not kick up a fussShe pouted and obediently pack up

“Is it done or not?”

“Almost doneAlmost done”

“OwIt hurts”

“Just left the last bitDon’t worry, I will do it lightly”

Outside the doors, Cong Yang, Mo Qing, Jing Zhe and Gu Yu were all red-facedJing Zhe said, “AhI remembered that there are still so it up”

Gu Yu quickly said, “I will also go and help”

Cong Yang also said, “I will also go and sun the quilt”

Mo Qing nodded his head furiously

In an instant, the four of them scattered like birds and beasts

Only Tie Yi, as up on the tree, was un was helpless as Shen Miao finally tied the last string and patted his hand with satisfaction, “Done!”

Xie Jing Xing looked at the series of knotted red strings on his wrist and his head achedHe was perfectly fine so why the need for so s that female wore? However Shen Miao still rest her chin on her hand and was in all smiles, “With so many, it would not be broken anymore”

He had not spoken yet when Shen Miao stood up and sat on his lap, shocking Xie Jing Xing

The wine jars in the room were empty and the entire room was filled with alcohol scentShen Miao drank till her face was red and was as delicate as a flowerIt was rare for her to smile so sweetly as both of her hands cupped his face and she kissed his face

Xie Jing Xing was already calm and collected as from when Shen Miao was drunk till now, she had already kissed hi as Shen Miao was drunk, one could basically see a different kind of femaleIt see ladies

A grad Prince Rui who had lived for so long and had experience in teasing countless of females but there was only one female that teased hie it when she woke up

“This face is indeed good” Shen Miao said, “Can bestared at her expressionless for a while before saying, “Thanking Furen’s appreciation”

Shen Miao was satisfied, “Bestow you some moneyGo and buy so out before throwing it to Xie Jing Xing’s hands

It was the jade tablet that Xie Jing Xing gave to her in Ming Qi

Xie Jing Xing had yet to see it clearly when Shen Miao waved his hands, “NoNoNoHad taken wronglyThis is given by my husband” She then quickly collected it back

“Husband?” He raised an eyebrow, “You still remembered you have a husband”

Shen Miao looked at him, “Re Xing, “…”

“But he will be going off on an expedition” She then buried her head into Xie Jing Xing’s shoulder and found a coly somewhat sleepy and said in a daze, “So I drankLike that when he is leaving, I would be drunk and not wake up, thus would not be able to see”

“Why don’t you want to see hiradually weakened, “Because one do not want him to be immerse in relations between a female and male but if I see him leave, I would be reluctant…” When she spoke till the end, her breathing beca found it funny but at the end gradually put his smile awayHe lowered his head to look at the fe, “Actually you can be a little willful”

Shen Miao did not answer him

He picked Shen Miao up and placed her on the bed before covering her with the quiltHe then extended his hand to her to hold her and sat by the edge of the bed and did not do anythingHe just watched her sleeping face, as if he was satisfied with this

In the ht, Tie Yi called out from outside, “Master, ti over to the female’s forehead for a kiss

Then he strode out the doors

After closing the doors, Shen Miao slowly opened her eyes

Really reluctant

Reluctant to watch him leave awake but also reluctant to miss him like that when drunk

Separation was always a sad and reluctant o without any burden and then return like a hero

The footsteps outside the door were light and steadyThere were other people but one could still differentiate which one she wanted to hear
