Empress Xiande was so composed that no one could notice anything wrong with her, but the calmer she was, the more it made people feel uncomfortable. Shen Miao saw that a large part of Empress Xiande's dress was wet. She thought that she must have been by the pond with Consort Jing previously. When Consort Jing fell into the water, Empress Xiande's clothes were also wet. However, probably because she had been worried about Lu Jing, she did not have the time to go back and change into a clean dress.
Shen Miao nodded and said, "Alright."
Emperor Yong Le stared at Empress Xiande and did not speak. Consort Jing's voice in the room was getting louder. Empress Xiande said, "Your Majesty, you'd better go in and take a look. It's not Consort Jing who's important now, but the child in her stomach." With that, she pulled Shen Miao away.
