<h4>Chapter 383: Requesting to Go to War (6)</h4> <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>Henyee Trantions <strong> Editor: </strong>Henyee Trantions</h4>


    At this moment, not only would Shen Miao not be able to help, but she would also make Luo Xueyan and the others feel more burdened. Therefore, Shen Miao smiled and said, “Is that so? Brother, you have to keep your word.”


    Seeing Shen Miao like this, Shen Qiu heaved a sigh of relief. Shen Qiu knew that Shen Miao was smart, but he did not want her to be involved in the matters of the imperial court. Moreover, the affairs of the imperial court were never about one person. There were casualties at every turn and countless people were implicated. It was not that easy to exin.


    Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin alsoforted Shen Miao. “Jiaojiao, stay in the mansion and don’t go anywhere. When Father and Mothere back, we’ll go to shop for new clothes together.”


    Shen Miao nodded and watched as the eunuch left the mansion with Shen Xin and the others.


    Chen Ruoqiu held Shen Wan’s hand and said worriedly, “Why are they suddenly summoned to the pce? Did something happen?”


    Shen Wan shook his head. Shen Gui said, “Brother is in the limelight to begin with. He doesn’t know how to behave himself in the imperial court. I’m afraid if something really happens, no one will stand up for him.” What Shen Gui meant was that if something really happened to Shen Xin, the two brothers, Shen Gui and Shen Wan, would not help him.


    Shen Miao sneered in her heart. Shen Yue said timidly, “If something happens to First Uncle, it should be a very serious matter, right? Will we be implicated?”


    “Of course you won’t be implicated.” Shen Gui smiled and said, “If someone should be implicated, it should be Shen Miao.”


    After losing his son and daughter in a row, Shen Gui became resentful. His career was not going smoothly, and he was jealous that Shen Xin’s official rank was higher than him and had more prestige than him. Now that he saw that Shen Xin was in trouble, he was naturally overjoyed. He even hoped that Shen Xin’s family would be wiped out.


    A trace of gloating shed across Shen Yue’s eyes. She looked at Shen Miao sympathetically. “Isn’t Fifth Sister very pitiful?”


    Shen Miao smiled instead of being angry and said indifferently, “Even the eunuch instructed by His Majesty toe doesn’t know what this summoning is about, but Second Uncle has already figured it all out.” She looked at Shen Gui and said, “Second Uncle is really foresighted, I think when His Majesty hears about this, he will appreciate your wisdom and promote you.”


    As soon as she said that, Shen Wan and Shen Gui’s expressions changed slightly. What was the biggest taboo for an emperor? It was the courtiers making wild guesses. Wasn’t Shen Miao trying to say that Shen Gui and Shen Wan knew what Emperor Wen Hui was up to?


    No emperors would like a courtier who could see through him. If the courtier was too smart, the emperor would feel a sense of danger.


    This was what the royal family was like. They were the most paranoid.


    Shen Miao’s words made Shen Gui and Shen Wan’s expressions change, but they did not dare to refute. They were afraid that if Emperor Wen Hui heard this, they would be in deep trouble. The two of them were secretly shocked. They did not know when Shen Miao became so eloquent.


    Shen Miao did not really want to argue with them here. The most important thing now was to think of a way to resolve this matter.


    Old Madam Shen had seen enough of the show. She snorted and said, “All he knows is causing the Shen family trouble!” She was still thinking about how Shen Xin wanted to split up from the family. However, with the first branch up the creek, the splitting of the family would be postponed. Old Madam Shen even thought that if something serious happened to Shen Xin, wouldn’t all the assets of the first branch belong to her? At the thought of this, her eyes were filled with greed.


    Shen Miao was extremely disgusted. The people in this room had fully disyed what it meant to hit someone when they were down. The Shen family were definitely among the most despicable people in this world.


    Concubine Wan held Shen Dongling’s hand and hid behind the crowd. She did not dare to say a word at such an asion. Although Ren Wanyun had be sane, she did not want to leave Rosy Cloud Garden, so she did not appear today. Shen Dongling whispered, “But what could happen to Eldest Uncle? Eldest Uncle is not in the capital all year round. Could it be that His Majesty wants to reward him more for winning the war?” Shen Dongling probably wanted to ease the atmosphere. Shen Yue was a little unhappy with what she said, and Old Madam Shen also looked unhappy. Only Shen Miao was slightly stunned.


    Not in the capital all year round?


    That’s right. Shen Xin, Luo Xueyan, and Shen Qiu had been fighting in the bitter coldnd in the northwest all year round. They had just returned to the capital. The emperor couldn’t possibly use them of lingering in the capital for long, could he? Yesterday, Consort Xu and Consort Dong were both asking about daily life in Spring City. Shen Miao did not believe that the nobledies in the pce were really interested in the remote northwest.


    There must be a connection. What kind of usations would be thrown at Shen Xin for not being in the capital all year round?
