Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

For a moment, rumors spread everywhere. Everyone said that Shen Miao was clearly a spy sent by Ming Qi. Now that the emperor was gone, she wanted to usurp the throne.

This rumor spread very quickly and subsided very quickly, because Shen Miao appeared in the imperial court with a big stomach. Eunuch Deng, Nanny Tao, and the others also proved that Empress Xiande brought Shen Miao into the palace because she wanted to protect the only royal bloodline.

With this child, she had the court under control. People feel that if they caused trouble at this time, when Xie Jingxing returned, they would end up miserably.

Part of it was because they were afraid of Shen Miao, and the other half was because they were afraid of Xie Jingxing, so this crisis was quickly resolved.

However, Shen Miao did not have a lot of free time.

She had been reading the memorials over the past few days. After Emperor

Yong Le passed away, the memorials submitted to the palace from all over the Daliang Dynasty piled up in the imperial study. She went through the memorials one by one, sometimes until late at night.

Jingzhe and the others felt bad for her, but they couldn’t persuade her, so they could only stay by her side quietly.

As Luo Tan dozed off, she asked, “Little Cousin, why do you have to read it yourself? If you don’t trust the officials, you can always trust the trusted aides of the late emperor. Isn’t it good to give these memorials to them and let them handle it? Why do you have to do it yourself? You’re still pregnant.”

Shen Miao shook her head. “People are capricious, and there are many variables. It’s better to read it myself.”

Perhaps Emperor Yong Le originally had trusted aides, but after Emperor Yong Le and Empress Xiande died, no one could tell if these people would have other thoughts. If she was in Ming Qi and knew these people well, she would naturally be at ease to leave the work to these people. However, she was in Long Ye, and she had not been in Long Ye for long. In a short period of time, she was not able to test the loyalty of these people.

In the end, there was no one she could trust here.

Fortunately, Shen Miao did a good job. Her handling of some matters could even be considered skillful. Although Eunuch Deng did not know anything about the imperial court, he was best at observing. At first, those court officials were against Shen Miao interfering, but recently, they had become less resistant. This meant that Shen Miao did not do a bad job. Otherwise, it was impossible for these people to not find fault with her from the beginning.

Eunuch Deng was a little relieved. The quality Shen Miao displayed was inferior to Empress Xiande’s. Perhaps the Daliang Dynasty could really last for a hundred generations as the empress dowager hoped.

“But you will tire yourself out.” Luo Tan said, “Yesterday, I heard them talking about how lucky you are and how the decisions you made all produced good results.” Luo Tan said with a snort, “How is that because of luck? It’s clearly your ability. Cousin, how come you know everything? You can even read these complicated memorials.. What do you not know?”
