In the end, he still had to make this move.
â¦
The first ray of sunlight shone through the carved window on the table. Shen Miao sat at the table and did not move.
Jingzhe came in with a silver basin. As soon as she entered, she was shocked and said, âMiss, why are you up so early today?â
Shen Miao didnât speak. Jingzhe walked over. The oil lamp on the table had already burned out, and there was a faint greenish-black color under Shen Miaoâs eyes. Jingzhe was stunned for a moment before exclaiming, âMiss, did you not sleep all night?â
Shen Miao shook her head and rubbed her forehead tiredly.
She sat here for the entire night.
Xie Jingxingâs hint puzzled her and made her even more confused. She did not know what Shen Yuan had given Fu Xiuyi, but she knew that it must be detrimental to the Shen family.
Jingzhe said with some heartache, âMiss, no matter how worried you are, donât torture your body like this. Master and Madam will be heartbroken to see this. Miss, you should eat something and rest first. You really donât look good. What if you fall sick?â
Shen Miao also felt a little hungry. After thinking for the entire night, she felt a little dizzy and said, âBring me some porridge. Iâll sleep for a while after eating. Donât tell anyone about this.â
Jingzhe sighed and turned to run towards the kitchen to get the porridge for Shen Miao. Shen Miao stood up, wanting to wash her face . Halfway through, she suddenly heard footsteps outside the door and saw Jingzhe running back.
âWhy so fast?â Shen Miao was a little surprised. It was still a distance from the kitchen to here. Even if Jingzhe jogged over, it would still take some time.
âMiss, somethingâs wrong.â Jingzhe said in a panic, âSomeone from the palace is here. Master, Madam, and Eldest Young Master are summoned to the palace!â
The handkerchief in Shen Miaoâs hand fell into the basin. She calmed herself down and said, âIâll go and take a look.â
In the courtyard, the eunuchs from the palace were delivering the edict to Shen Xin. These people were usually very respectful to the mighty general, but today, their attitudes were unclear. Sometimes, one could tell the emperorâs attitude from the attitudes of the eunuchs. Clearly, entering the palace this time was not necessarily a good thing.
When Shen Miao came out, not only were Shen Xin, Luo Xueyan, and Shen Qiu there, but even Old Madam Shen brought Shen Yuanbai out. However, Old Madam Shen didnât look concerned at all. Instead, she was gloating.
On the other hand, Shen Wan said to the eunuch, âMay I ask why His Majesty summoned Brother to the palace?â
The eunuch looked up at the sky. âIâm just following His Majestyâs orders. I donât know what His Majesty is thinking. Lord, please follow me into the palace.â He urged Shen Xin impatiently.
When Shen Qiu saw Shen Miao walking over, he was a little nervous. He quickly held Shen Miaoâs hand and said, âSister, why are you here?â Seeing that Shen Miao was looking at the eunuch, he quickly comforted her, âSister, donât worry. His Majesty just summoned us to the palace to discuss some military matters. Weâll be back soon. When I come back, Iâll bring you snacks.â
He was afraid of scaring Shen Miao, but he did not know that in Shen Miaoâs eyes, his behavior would only make her more worried. Shen Xin, Luo Xueyan, and Shen Qiu were all summoned to the palace except Shen Miao. The three of them were leading figures of the Shen army. This matter must be related to the Shen army. Now that the Shen familyâs military power was on the rise, they had to be extra cautious.
