Chapter 218: Leaving (Half 2)
Shen Miao frowned, “One thing occurred?” Pei Lang didn’t have martial arts abilities and if one meet with any hazard throughout the journey, he wouldn’t have any approach to shield himself.
“This servant additionally thought so.” Hui Xiang mentioned, “However Ba Jiao discovered this on the desk of Gentleman Pei’s room.” She then took a letter like factor from her sleeves and handed it to Shen Miao earlier than talking, “Solely a few of Gentleman Pei’s issues and garments have been lacking from the room. If this servant doesn’t guess incorrectly, Gentleman Pei ought to have left.”
Shen Miao was nearly to open up the letter when she paused.
Xie Jing Xing’s expression additionally barely modified.
“Did he say something earlier than he left?” Shen Miao requested Hui Xiang.
“He didn’t say something and behaved like ordinary. He additionally mentioned that the climate is nice right this moment.” Hui Xiang mentioned.
Shen Miao was considerably baffled when Xie Jing Xing mentioned, “Check out the letter and what it says.” He was about to rise up to depart when Shen Miao held on to his sleeves.
Xie Jing Xing flip again and Shen Miao mentioned, “Let’s see it collectively.”
Xie Jing Xing’s stepped paused and after occupied with it, he sat down once more however there was a hint of a smile on his lips.
After opening up the later, Pei Lang’s handwriting appeared in entrance. Pei Lang’s phrases have been as clear as his individual and there was a sublime fashion of these well-known students. He additionally regarded like one however made one onerous to think about how such a elegant individual would turn out to be blended into the battle for energy.
At the start of the letter, it spoke of how lengthy he had been within the residence of Prince Rui and that he had introduced a number of hassle to the residence of Prince Rui and thanking the couple for providing shelter to him. He then hoped that Shen Miao would preserve her promise and settle the latter half of Liu Ying’s life.
Pei Lang additionally wrote that despite the fact that he adopted Shen Miao to Lengthy Ye, it was solely an interim plan and it was due to Fu Xiu Yi that he had nowhere to cover and thus got here to Lengthy Ye. Nevertheless to proceed staying within the residence of Prince Rui, there could be many inconveniences. He has his plans and ready to journey round for the remainder of his life to extend his information and thus parted with out saying goodbye.
As a result of he had some trainer and scholar relationship with Shen Miao and afterwards have some friendship, he had organized some info for Shen Miao as he knew about some Prince Ding’s matter when he was staying within the residence of Prince Ding and knew that Shen Miao had been guarding in opposition to Prince Ding. He hoped that sooner or later it will be of use to Shen Miao.
When this letter was handed to Shen Miao, their relationship could be thought of clear and clear. Nobody owed the opposite and Pei Lang wrote that one didn’t know if there could be one other alternative to see each other thus he might solely say maintain oneself.
Pei Lang wrote this letter very simple and there appeared to not be particular. One didn’t know if it was intentionally performed to make away from the connection with Shen Miao and it was even indifferent and well mannered when one learn between the strains. It was identical to one had returned to when one was a trainer and scholar in Guang Wen Tang.
There was one other piece of paper within the letter and it was crammed with all the data on Fu Xiu Yi. Some was about his confidants, some was associated to his plans, some was on the long run steps that will be taken and other people to be win over.
Xie jing Xing initially swept a glance casually with Shen Miao in direction of the piece of paper however upon studying the again, his expression couldn’t assist however turn out to be severe.
There was nothing however info on Fu Xiu Yi and as such, there gave the impression to be virtually no secret that Fu XIu Yi had in entrance of them and everybody was revealed. With this, it was like grabbing onto a snake at the place it hurts and drilled in a single’s coronary heart step-by-step.
Xie Jing Xing mentioned, “How might he know this a lot?”
Even when Pei Lang was a spy by Xie Jing Xing’s aspect and even with Fu Xiu Yi’s earlier belief with him, it was not potential for him to belief him to such a stage. Furthermore the spies that Fu Xiu Yi embedded within the deepest of locations the place all written out by Pei Lang. The main points supplied was like he was a favoured assured that adopted for a few years and knew one’s grasp’s issues just like the palm of 1’s fingers.
Shen Miao’s fingertips was considerably shaking.
A number of the issues inside would solely happen just a few years later. Even at this second, Fu Xiu Yi didn’t encounter these individuals but so how would Pei Lang have any information of them?
Until Pei Lang had the reminiscence of the earlier life time then he would have the ability to know Fu Xiu Yi’s ‘future’ confidants and chess items and likewise ‘future’ plans.
When did Pei Lang have that information? He beforehand didn’t know something.
May or not it’s… Shen Miao coronary heart moved. It was due to the assassination throughout Xie Jing Xing’s birthday that she dreamt about her earlier lifetime, might or not it’s that Pei Lang was additionally the identical?
She checked out Hui Xiang, “Is there any distinction with Gentleman Pei nowadays?”
“Variations?” Hui Xiang thought fastidiously earlier than replying, “There appear to be no distinction. He would usually be in a daze when sitting and one have no idea what he was considering. Nevertheless Gentleman Pei’s earlier character was quiet thus he was additionally the identical when he’s recovering from his accidents.”
SHen Miao was unable to make up her thoughts and wished to ask Pei Lang if he knew in regards to the issues of the previous lifetime. Pei Lang was the person who adopted Fu Xiu Yi the longest and naturally knew Fu Xiu Yi essentially the most. However simply as she wished to talk, she stopped.
So what about that? If Pei Lang actually remembered the previous lifetime, identical to how Shen Miao was not in a position to face Pei Lang, Pei Lang undoubtedly had no thought face her.
Each of them weren’t thought of sworn enemies but additionally not associates who might belief one another with their hearts. There have been blood money owed between them however they have been all personally paid off. Within the depths of the Palace, there have been occasions the place issues weren’t of 1’s personal volition nevertheless it was certainly one’s errors. One couldn’t take it as if nothing had occur but additionally couldn’t state issues clearly.
When Xie Jing Xing noticed her unsure look, he requested, “Want me to instruct individuals to carry him again?”
Shen Miao recovered to her senses, “No want. Since he desires to stay his personal life then let him be.” Since seeing each other would result in fights, it was higher to not meet. It was good that Pei Lang left like this. She held that piece of paper and her eyes grew to become severe.
When Xie Jing Xing noticed it, he mentioned, “The issues which are written…”
“It’s actual.” Shen Miao mentioned, “One must move this to Eldest Brother. We’re not in Ding capital so it isn’t simple to take motion when holding this. Handing this over to Eldest Brother and Father, they might have the ability to play by the ear. With this, the Shen household will a minimum of have some extra chips available.” After that she mentioned with problem, “However that is very precious. If this was being robbed throughout the journey again to Ming Qi…”
“Let the Mo Yun Military do it.” Xie Jing Xing mentioned it heedlessly, “The Mo Yun Military has been sending letters for therefore a few years and haven’t been intercepted.”
Shen Miao’s coronary heart felt barely safer however earlier than she might communicate, Pei Lang’s letter that was in her fingers was taken away by Xie Jing Xing. Xie Jing Xing threw the letter apart deliberately and mentioned, “It’s late. Time to relaxation.”
“How is it late?” Shen Miao mentioned curiously, “The skies simply acquired darkish.” She then mentioned, “Although there isn’t any have to carry Gentleman Pei again, one must a minimum of guarantee his security else if one is stabbed for no motive or being watched by others…”
Earlier than the voice land, Shen Miao was carried by Xie Jing Xing and thrown onto the mattress. As he acquired nearer to her, he spoke darkly, “Attempt caring about Pei Lang once more.”
Shen Miao, “…”
*****
Within the Palace.
Within the Imperial Gardens, the Lotus have been blooming superbly in the summertime that the inexperienced lotus leaves virtually crammed the whole pond.
Empress Xian De sat within the pavilion and though there was no moon right this moment, there have been stars and the water was clear and crystalline, making it an exquisite scene. She instructed individuals to brew some tea because it was apt to drink a little bit throughout summer season.
Tao GuGu stood behind her and smiled, “The Lotus blossoms rather well this 12 months.”
Empress Xian De took a look and smiled, “Final 12 months one had instructed them to vary the breeds thus this 12 months, it grew rather more affluent.” She additionally mentioned, “It’s also cooling in the summertime.”
Simply as she was talking, one might see somebody strolling over from afar and seemingly noticed Empress Xian De and the few of them earlier than barely pausing of their actions and headed in direction of this pavilion.
It was solely when one walked nearer, might one see clearly that this individual was not others however Consort Jing.
In comparison with the earlier smug and closely dressed Consort Jing, the present Consort Jing regarded like she was in robust straits. Or one mustn’t say it was solely right this moment. Currently Consort Jing’s state of affairs had not been good and he or she had no temper to concentrate to her garments and look thus there have been some tiredness within the normally lovely face of hers.
Nevertheless when seeing Empress Xian De, that fatigue was hatred in a second.
She mentioned, “One noticed somebody from afar and was considering who had such good spirits. So it’s the Empress.”
Empress Xian De smiled noncommittally, “BenGong is consuming tea right here. Does Consort Jing need to drink a cup?”
Consort Jing coldly smiled as she stared at her, “Older Sister has the temper to drink tea however Youthful Sister has no such ideas.”
Emperor Yong Le had begun to suppress the Lu household and despite the fact that the individuals of the Interior Palace didn’t perceive the courts, they might see it by way of the Emperor’s perspective. The beforehand favoured consort had fallen to a state the place even crying or pleading wouldn’t shake the Emperor’s expression and that had a deeper which means to it.
“BenGong don’t care if Consort Jing have the thought or not.” Empress Xian De smiled and proceed to pour a cup of tea, “The tea is all the time right here.”
Consort Jing was so offended that she was considerably trembling.
Lu Furen got here into the Palace to search for her, saying that Emperor Yong Le was coping with the Lu household and his perspective was one which didn’t even care about any previous relations. She additionally mentioned that she had the favour of Emperor Yong Le, so why was there no impact in blowing wind by one’s pillow? She wished her to inquire and probe Emperor Yong Le’s intention and if obligatory, plead for leniency.
However Consort Jing had performed it nevertheless it didn’t assist in any respect. Actually for therefore a few years, despite the fact that Emperor Yong Le extraordinarily doted her that within the Interior Palace, Empress Xian De needed to give her some leeway that regardless of how smug she was, she would all the time get away with it. Nevertheless she had by no means as soon as change Emperor Yong Le’s thoughts earlier than.
Typically she would really feel that Emperor Yong Le appeared to have seen every little thing and knew that she was intentionally pleasing him and typically Consort Jing felt considerably shameful. Nevertheless there have been occasions the place she felt that Emperor Yong Le certainly favoured her. Now that one thing occurred to the Lu household and wanted her, a daughter, to assist, so Consort Jing would search for Emperor Yong Le however Emperor Yong Le’s perspective was ice chilly.
Consort Jing had been crusing with the wind and currents for a complete lifetime and had not suffered something. When she entered the Palace, she rose to the place of a Consort simply as a result of her Lu household background and now that the Lu household is in hassle, she additionally suffered from it. Now she found that after so a few years, apart from antagonising individuals and creating unreasonable scenes, she didn’t do anything.
Then again, the Empress Xian De that she was dissatisfied with, might truly sit in a pavilion to drink tea leisurely and unconstrained and that made Consort Jing’s coronary heart crammed with resentment.
She thought that Emperor Yong Le didn’t love Empress Xian De and that Empress Xian De was solely revered by everybody due to the place of the Empress. This was simply too unfair. If there was no Empress Xian De blocking, she would turn out to be the Empress and Emperor Yong Le wouldn’t ignore the Lu household and he or she wouldn’t have a headache now.
A malicious resentment appeared in Consort Jing’s coronary heart.
She occurred to see that within the pavilion that Empress Xian De was sitting it, there was a ladder close to the pavilion to the lake. It was in order that it will be handy to feed the fishes on regular days and it will additionally look elegant nevertheless it was considerably harmful.
Consort Jing quietly acquired nearer to Empress Xian De and mentioned, “Older Sister has brewed so a few years of tea, naturally one knew the foundations of brewing tea. Nevertheless this Youthful Sister doesn’t like tea as tea is bitter and those that drink it will not be snug so why brew it?” When this sentence was spoken, she shouted an ‘Aiyah’ and stumbled and headed in direction of Empress Xian De. Empress Xian De was sitting hear the water so by knocking onto Empress Xian De, she would fall into the water!
What sort of individual was Empress Xian De? Consort Jing was silly however Empress Xian De was not. This sort of little trick didn’t even enter her eyes. She had lengthy been cautious and seeing Consort Jing leaning over, she took a step again and prevented Consort Jing.
One solely heard a ‘blop’ sound and splashes of water.
The palace maid by Consort Jing’s aspect shouted out in shock.
