    Hearing this, everyone in the room had different expressions.


    Lu Jing was arrogant, and because she was pregnant, she became even more so. Perhaps it was because Lu Jing felt jealous of Ye Mei’s beauty, or perhaps it was because of other reasons, she asked Ye Mei to go out with her. Lu Jing wanted to order Ye Mei around like a maid, so she did not let her pce maid follow. This indeed seemed like what Lu Jing would do.


    “Later, when I was walking around the garden with Consort Jing, Consort Jing suddenly said that it was a little cold and asked me to find a silk cloak for her. That cloak is not in the Jinghua Pce, but in the house where a low-ss consort lived. I’m not familiar with the pce, so it took me a lot of time to find that small building. After I got the cloak, I didn’t expect some guard to find me and say that something happened to Consort Jing.” Ye Mei knelt down and said, “Before I left, Consort Jing was still fine. I really don’t know what happened!” She suddenly thought of something and said, “If you don’t believe me, you can send someone to look for that consort. She can testify for me. I really went to look for her to get the cloak. How can I harm Consort Jing?” Empress Xiande frowned.


    Everyone knew Consort Jing’s personality very well. It really seemed to be her style to order Ye Mei to get a cloak for her.


    Empress Xiande said, “Nanny Tao, bring someone to look for that consort and ask her clearly. If she’s lying, she will be severely punished.”


    Ye Mei quickly said, “It’s Consort Cao.”


    Nanny Tao epted the order and left.


    The room immediately fell into silence again. Ye Mei knelt on the ground, her weak body trembling, and her face was filled with tears. When she smiled, she was as charming as a fox. Now, she was crying silently, looking frightened but pitiful. Her eyes were misty, and her shoulders were shaking. She was like a kitten, making people want to hug her. When she knelt down, she happened to be in a very delicate spot. Emperor Yong Le lowered his head and could see her beautiful side profile and weak figure.


    Empress Xiande saw all of this and curled her lips into a faint smile. Shen Miao was stunned. She finally understood why she lost to Ye Mei in her previous life. Even in such an urgent situation, Ye Mei still used her beauty to seduce people. When Shen Miao liked someone, she would be a giver, handing out all the precious things to the person she liked. On the other hand, If Ye Mei liked someone, she would show her most beautiful side and make people give her precious things. However… Shen Miao nced at Emperor Yong Le. Emperor Yong Le did not even look at Ye Mei.


    The Xie brothers were like two boulders. Beauty alone was probably not enough to move them. Moreover, Emperor Yong Le looked like he did not care about beauty even more than Xie Jingxing.


    However, before Nanny Tao coulde back, the Lu family came.


    Madam Lu and Master Lu were both here. The child in Consort Jing’s stomach was gone, and so was Consort Jing. Apart from Consort Jing, who was already dead, the people who were the angriest about this matter were probably the Lu family. Lu Zhengchun brought Madam Lu to the Jinghua Pce aggressively. The pce servants could not stop them, and Emperor Yong Le could not be bothered to stop them. As soon as Madam Lu entered, she sat on the ground and cried, sighing at the death of her poor daughter.


    Shen Miao looked at Madam Lu as if she was looking at a clown. If she really felt sorry for her daughter, why didn’t she go to see Lu Jing’s corpse for thest time. Instead, she cried in front of the emperor..
