Venomous Empress Reborn

918 Going Down the Mountain (5)

Shen Miao nodded and walked out.

Some of the madams had already woken up, but they still looked tired. They were all noble people who couldn’t make do in the tent. The especially pampered ones had already gone back last night. The ones who stayed were either here to curry favor with Emperor Yong Le or to experience this rare leisure time.

Hui Xiang scooped a bowl of porridge for Shen Miao. As Shen Miao drank the porridge, she asked Ba Jiao, “Is there any news of His Highness?”

Ba Jiao shook her head.

Shen Miao looked into the distance. The sun had already risen from the mountain. In another two hours, the sky would be completely bright. Even if Xie Jingxing and the others spent the night on the mountain, they should be back by now.

“Did the Black Feather Army receive any signals?” Shen Miao asked, “Didn’t your master tell you what kind of signal he will send to inform you once he carried out his plan?”

Ba Jiao and Hui Xiang were stunned. The two of them looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. Hui Xiang said, “Master didn’t tell us about the plan this time.”

Shen Miao muttered to herself, “I wonder what’s going on now.” Looking at Lu Zhengchun, who was stretching in the distance, and Ye Maocai, who was on the other side, she felt a headache coming on.

Just as she was thinking, she saw a familiar figure walking over from the other side. Shen Miao couldn’t be bothered to eat the porridge. She placed the bowl in Ba Jiao’s hand and quickly went forward to catch up to him.

That person was Ji Yushu. Shen Miao pulled Ji Yushu to a corner and asked him, “Why are you back?”

Ji Yushu asked, “Sister-in-law, what do you mean?”

Shen Miao frowned. “Aren’t you with Xie Jingxing?”

Ji Yushu was surprised. “No, only the royal family can enter the inner venue. Although I’m half a royal family member, I’m still not qualified.”

Shen Miao was surprised. She thought that Ji Yushu came over to help Xie Jingxing. Could it be that Xie Jingxing and Emperor Yong Le were going to fight alone? She said, “Tell me, what exactly does Xie Jingxing want to do this time?”

Ji Yushu rubbed his nose. “Sister-in-law, you’re really asking the wrong person. Third Brother never brings me along when he wants to do anything big. The more dangerous it is, the more he won’t let me be involved. Back then, when I was in Ming Qi, I was only responsible for eating and drinking in the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop and was not allowed to be part of anything else. Yesterday at the hunting ground, Gao Yang was with him. No matter what it was, Third Brother would only bring Gao Yang. I wanted to follow him, but Third Brother didn’t allow it.”

“Gao Yang?” Shen Miao asked, “Gao Yang is also an official. How can he go?”

“Gao Yang disguised himself as Third Brother’s personal guard and went with him.” Ji Yushu said, “He’s smart and knows medicine. If anything happens, he’ll be able to help.”

Shen Miao panicked. Gao Yang knew medicine, so Xie Jingxing brought him along. Could it be that the situation was already so dangerous that he needed a doctor?

Ji Yushu looked at Shen Miao and asked, “Sister-in-law, did something happen to Third Brother?”

Shen Miao said, “No, I’m just anxious because he’s not back yet.”
