Shen Miao thought for a moment and said, “Then how do you plan to deal with the Lu family now that Consort Jing is pregnant?”
Xie Jingxing played with Shen Miao’s long hair and said casually, “What does Lu Jing’s pregnancy have to do with all this? The same knife cuts bread and fingers. The Lu family thinks that they can rest easy because their daughter is pregnant, but in fact, they’re wrong. When the officials find out that the bloodline of the Xie family can be continued, will they still side with the Lu family?”

Shen Miao looked at him. “That can’t be all, right?”
Xie Jingxing raised an eyebrow. “Why do you say so?”
“It’s obvious that Consort Jing’s pregnancy was an accident outside your plan. None of you expected this at first.” Shen Miao said, “If Consort Jing isn’t pregnant, how do you plan to deal with the Lu family?”
“Simple.” Xie Jingxing said, “Ever since my brother ascended the throne, he has been planning to deal with the Lu and Ye families. For so many years, he has been searching for evidence of the Lu family secretly gathering military strength. Now that he’s almost done collecting evidence, it’s time to show it. At that time, wiping out the Lu family will not cause dissent. This is the first plan.” Xie Jingxing said, “The second plan is that although the Lu family has a lot of military power, it’s not like we don’t have other generals. Those generals have almost all become my brother’s men in private. Also, the Black Feather Army has been accumulating strength. It’s simple. Present the evidence and force the Lu family to confess. However, Lu Zhengchun has been arrogant and will definitely not confess. He will definitely turn against the royal family, which will give us a justifiable reason to kill him.”

Their methods of dealing with people were really direct. They were very simple and effective. Perhaps they had inherited some of Empress Xiao’s characteristics.
She said, “If that’s the case, why do we have to prepare for so many years? You can fight back from the beginning.”
Xie Jingxing leaned closer to her ear and said, “Little girl, you have to know that the men of the Xie family don’t like to take unnecessary risks. The Lu family has a deep foundation. If we make a move too early, we might not be their match. Now that the time is right, it’s time to get rid of them all at once.”
Shen Miao frowned and heard Xie Jingxing say, “I know you like to take gambles. Back then, when you were weak, you dared to scheme against Prince Yu. However, it’s too dangerous and you might suffer. I don’t like it.”
Shen Miao had to admit that what Xie Jingxing said made sense. Back then, she dared to confront Prince Yu and Fu Xiuyi because she was fighting alone. Later, as the Shen family gradually became involved, she had too many things to worry about, so she couldn’t be as unrestrained as before.
“However, what about the Ye family?” Shen Miao still had questions.
“Previously, my brother planned to rope in the Ye family. Anyway, the Ye family doesn’t have any children. They only have a crippled young master. He can’t do anything.” Xie Jingxing said, “But since you told me that the Ye siblings are your enemies, I naturally won’t rope them in. Becoming friends with your enemies will only bring destruction.” He said, “Don’t worry. I’ll avenge you..”
