Chapter 595 - 595: Anxious Dog Bits People
When Xiao Baoxin returned to the Xie Manor, his heart was still cold.
It was said that the harem was a place where people ate people. Xiao Ning seemed to be quite resourceful. She could stand alone at such a young age. She should be scheming and resourceful. However, she accidentally fell into the trap of others and was almost kept in the dark when she lost her child.
If it was him without a cheat, he probably wouldn’t even be able to beat Xiao Ning and wouldn’t be able to live past the first ten pages of the book.
In his previous life, the empress felt like a bubble that was blown up in the air, fragile and illusory.
At least with his current state of mind, it was something that he did not even dare to imagine. They were either set up like Xiao Ning, or they relied on their innate skills to subdue him with pure force.
And sharing a man with the entire harem…
She would probably beat the man up as far as she could, right?
I believe you.” Xie Xian patted her head and comforted her. “As long as my Nora wants to, she can break a person’s bones into pieces and grind them into mud.”
In fact, the commotion in Jiaofang Palace had already spread throughout the harem. The news had already spread in the harem, so it was not surprising that the aristocratic families received the news. Especially when the Empress was pregnant, it was such a big matter that it could not be hidden even if they wanted to.
The hands of the aristocratic families had stretched too far.
Xiao Baoxin rolled his eyes at Xie Xian, clearly not in the mood to tease him.
“Who exactly did this?”She was puzzled.” Unfortunately, I didn’t hear any valuable information from Nianxia.”
When Emperor Yong Ping arrived, he immediately captured Nianxia. It was impossible for her to get in touch with him again.
There’s no need.” “Even if you knew, how would you tell the Empress?” Xie Xian looked deeply at Xiao Baoxin. This kind of thing would come to light sooner or later. It was just that there was no evidence and they had a tacit understanding.”
Since that person has the ability to bribe Nianxia, he must be powerful. She won’t live past tonight.”
Xie Xian sighed,”Imperial Physician Zhou has already been silenced…”
“So fast?” Xiao Baoxin shook his head.” No, why are you so arrogant?” She was shocked.
It was because she had seen too little of the world that she was shocked by his generosity.
He had thought that it was already very evil of him to lay his hands on the Empress’s fetus, but in the end, even Imperial Physician Zhou had already been killed?
Emperor Yong Ping knew that it was Imperial Physician Zhou who had diagnosed Empress Xiao’s pulse. Once this matter was exposed, he would definitely find Imperial Physician Zhou to verify it.
The imperial physician was, after all, an imperial court official, right?
From Xie Xian’s words, this was not the end. He would not even let Nianxia off in the palace. He was truly ruthless.
This is nothing. It’s just that the former emperor’s harem had always been stable. When the former emperor was in power, he was already an adult. After the torture of the deposed crown prince, some died or were injured, so the aristocratic families temporarily stopped fighting.”
“Of course, the most fundamental reason is that the Empress of the Middle Palace is a descendant of the Wang family of Langya. With the support of a powerful mother clan, no one dares to touch her.”
One had to mention the plebeian Wang.
At least before he killed the emperor and usurped the throne, he had a good reputation among the women in the harem. He did not use any secret methods and was very magnanimous. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sat idly by and watched as the harem’s concubines were as numerous as dogs.
Originally, the empress was harmonious and the harem was balanced.
No one would have thought that the unexpected turn of events would occur with the death of Imperial Consort Liu. Emperor Yu Heng was also in a daze. It was only after she died that he confirmed that she was the love of his life. He had made a great fuss to change the Crown Prince, resulting in such a catastrophe.
“Naturally, the Xie family will rise with the tide. The Wang family of Langya has fallen, and the Xie family is the only one in power. However, it was not the case for the other aristocratic families.”
Xie Xian grabbed Xiao Baoxin’s hand and talked about the current situation in a logical manner.”The battle between the deposed Crown Prince and the new Emperor, as well as the chaos of war, has involved many aristocratic families. Not to mention the long period, in just the past one or two years, many aristocratic families have fallen…”
The new dynasty is a new beginning. No one wants to let the Xie family or the Xiao family dominate.”
He was referring to the Xiao family of Lanling, the empress’s family.
“The emperor is still young. Which family the eldest son comes from is of great importance to the aristocratic families. After all, if anything happens to the emperor…When the eldest son succeeds the throne, he will be the new emperor.”
These words rendered Xiao Baoxin speechless.
Why was the person who spoke calm, but the obedient her trembling?
As expected, he was still inexperienced!
“What if…”
It could be the will of heaven, or it could be man-made. After all, Empress Wang had a precedent, and it was not impossible for the future generations to follow.’Naturally, these words could not be said out loud. Xie Xian said it to Xiao Baoxin in his heart.
Sometimes, Xiao Baoxin even suspected that he was doing it on purpose. He would even skip the words and directly express his thoughts.
Was this training her innate ability?
Xie Xian had never been afraid of the most malicious way to speculate on people’s hearts, and countless facts had proven that human nature was just so dark and evil. People die for wealth and birds die for food. Now they are thieves and marquises.
The empire of Daliang was obtained by rebelling against the old ruler. Very few emperors ascended the throne normally, either killing their fathers or brothers. The Song family was not upright at all, so the previous emperors did not have a good ending.
Now that the situation was in turmoil, the aristocratic families were no longer as strong as before. They were even retreating.
There was a saying that was rough but not rough: a dog would bite when it was anxious.
However, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. No matter how weak the aristocratic families were, they still had a natural advantage over the poor families, whether in terms of capital or resources.
No one would sit still and wait for death. People had to plan for themselves.
Xiao Baoxin’s life in the past was relatively simple. The Xiao family was not prosperous. No matter how much conflict there was in the family, it would at most be trivial. If the sister-in-law did not get along, the younger brother would do whatever he wanted.
He had never experienced a life and death situation when it came to scheming against people.
The only exception was Xiao Jing ‘ai, who was her cousin from the next room.
She had yet to become powerful and was not worth mentioning at all.
After she arrived at the Xie family, she faced the rise and fall of the family. Not only did she have to fight to the death, but sometimes she would also play tricks and scheme. She would die without knowing how.
Then what should we do?” Xiao Baoxin was at a loss, but his fighting spirit was also somewhat high.
Similarly, there was no such thing as waiting for death in her dictionary of life. There was only a head-on attack.
If he wanted to pull down the Xiao and Xie Clans, he had to see if they had the ability.
She wasn’t a professional at scheming and plotting, but she was still good at beating people up. If she really couldn’t do it, she could even drag someone down with her. If she had to die, she would die together with him.
“Should we inform the Empress?”
Xie Xian laughed in spite of himself. He should have known long ago that Xiao Baoxin, with his personality, would never hold back and retreat. He was only stronger and more decisive than him.
” NO,” he refused decisively. “It won’t be too late for you to respond when the Empress takes the initiative to mention it.”
Xiao Baoxin raised his eyebrows slightly. Clearly, he did not agree with his actions.
“Qing Qing, you need to know that when you meet someone, you should only say 30% of your words and not throw away all your heart. Although Xiao Ning is my cousin m name, she is also the Empress of Daliang and a member of the Xiao family of Lanling..”
