Going Down the Mountain (4)

Lu Zhengchun stayed, and so did Madam Ye. Ye Maocai had also returned and was talking to Madam Ye. The Lu and Ye families were both here. If anything should happen to Emperor Yong Le here, would the Lu and Ye families take the opportunity to do something outrageous?

Shen Miao stopped in her tracks and looked at the sky. The starry sky was peaceful, and the summer breeze blew past her face, making her feel very comfortable.
