Venomous Empress Reborn

958 Interrogation (3)

This morning, when Shen Miao woke up, her complexion was very bad. Jingzhe and Gu Yu could tell that something was wrong with her. They asked a few times, but Shen Miao only brushed them off.

Last night, she had a dream for the entire night. She dreamed that in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility in the capital, Wanyu and Fu Ming were eating fruits and chatting in front of her. As they spoke, blood started to flow from the corners of Wanyu and Fu Ming’s mouths at the same time. She panicked and looked for the imperial physician. When she looked up, she saw Consort Mei and Fu Xiuyi walking over. Fu Xiuyi got someone to tie her and Wanyu and Fu Ming up. Then, he burned the Palace of Earthly Tranquility to the ground.

She screamed heart-wrenchingly and saw Consort Mei smile and say to her, “You lost.”

Shen Miao suddenly woke up from her dream. The summer sun in the morning dazzled her eyes. Shen Miao broke out in cold sweat, and her entire body was covered in sweat. However,her mind was still filled with the pained faces of Wanyu and Fu Ming, making her feel uneasy.

As soon as she left the courtyard, she saw Li Mei walking out.

When Li Mei saw Shen Miao, she immediately stopped and bowed to her.

Shen Miao’s eyes darkened. Every time she met the woman in front of her, she had to try her best to restrain her killing intent, especially after the dream last night. She almost couldn’t help but reach out and strangle her to death. The fingertips in her sleeve stabbed her palm, making her feel a slight pain.

Shen Miao glanced at Li Mei and said, “Miss Li, where are you going?”

Li Mei smiled and said, “Prince Rui is awake. He summoned us over today. My brother has already gone over, and I’m about to go over too.” He looked at Shen Miao with embarrassment. “After disturbing you for so many days, it’s probably time for us to leave. Thank you for taking care of us.”

Shen Miao sneered in her heart. She had never asked anyone to “take care” of the two of them. It must be Madam Ji’s idea. In addition, everyone in the mansion knew that they had saved Xie Jingxing’s life, so they were more polite to the two of them.

“Why do you want to leave?” Shen Miao said indifferently, “We haven’t ‘repaid’ you yet.”

Li Mei shook her head. “We’re here to look for our relatives. Since Prince Rui has recovered, it’s time for us to leave.”

Shen Miao really could not believe that Li Mei was in Long Ye to look for her relatives.

Li Mei looked at Shen Miao and suddenly said softly, “Your Highness, did I offend you in some way? You don’t seem to like me.”

Shen Miao’s attitude towards Li Mei was almost obvious. Apart from meeting Li Mei and her brother on the day of her return, Shen Miao had never gone to see the two of them again. It was definitely not that Shen Miao had forgotten that they were in the mansion, but she did it on purpose. As for why she did it, it was puzzling to everyone.

“I indeed don’t like you.” Shen Miao raised her chin. She could pretend to be polite to her enemy, but she could not do this to Consort Mei. She wanted to express her hatred blatantly. If not for Prince Rui, if not for the fact that she could not explain it to Xie Jingxing… She chuckled. “Do you want to know why?”
