Therefore, Emperor Yong Ping called Xie Xian in to question, inquire, and ask so excitedly. What was his motive?
Xie Xian knew what he was doing, and Emperor Yong Ping knew even more.
It was nothing more than letting Xie Xian know that he knew that it was an aristocratic family who had taken action. Regardless of whether the Xie family had gotten involved in these few times, he did not want this situation to continue.
Emperor Yong Ping needed Xie Xian’s support.
“The Empress told me that the one who made the move was most likely an aristocratic family or the Imperial Family.” After Emperor Yong Ping calmed down, he said to Xie Xian.
Xie Xian shookhis head lightly.” It’s actually very simple. We’ll know by looking at the background of the victim.” If there was no difference, if the empresses and concubines could successfully give birth to the emperor’s heir, if there was no difference, then it was possible that they were ambitious members of the royal family. Otherwise, at least in my opinion, the possibility of the aristocratic families competing for benefits is greater.
” Of course, we can’t rule out accidents.”
The unexpected thing was that even the heavens could not bear to watch the Song and Liang royal families. They wanted the Daliang Empire to have no descendants. If there was a person, the heavens would destroy him. This probability was about the same as if a person had been reborn three times. Emperor Yong Ping did not believe in accidents. Which Emperor of Daliang did not have blood on his hands? None of them succeeded to the throne smoothly. They either killed their brothers or their fathers. If they were to talk about retribution, it was impossible for him to suffer retribution when it came to him. He was not such a bully.
“Do you have any suggestions?” Emperor Yongping asked. “To target the aristocratic families for interfering with the harem and even interfering with the court?”
“My suggestion.” Xie Xian muttered to himself for a long while before finally raising his deep eyes to look at the Emperor.’Tn the future, don’t choose between the noble families and concubines. In this way, the bond between the aristocratic families and the Crown Prince would not be so deep.”
Emperor Yong Ping didn’t agree or disagree.
The pros and cons of choosing a daughter from an aristocratic family was already beyond the time when the royal family would seek comfort from the aristocratic family’s bloodline. The aristocratic families had been dealt a heavy blow by the successive emperors of Daliang over the years, and they had lost their military power. They no longer had the privilege to shout at the royal family and stand above the imperial power.
The reason why Emperor Yong Ping accepted the suggestions of the ministers was that he wanted to unite with the other aristocratic families to contend with each other and achieve a delicate balance with the Xie and Xiao families.
With the two forces restraining each other, he would not be alone and helpless. Who knew how the Xie and Xiao Families did not see any results. After all, the
Xie and Xiao Families were now loyal. Although they relied on them from the inside out, they did not seem to be arrogant and domineering. Once they achieved success, they became arrogant and did things that angered the heavens and the people.
On the other hand, the daughters of the aristocratic families who married into the palace, along with the aristocratic families behind them, were strangled like black-eyed chickens. They would not rest until one of them was dead.
Therefore, when Xie Xian made such a suggestion, Emperor Yong Ping did not know whether he should or should not.
He felt that Xie Xian had turned the problem into a ball and kicked it back to him.
Emperor Yong Ping was depressed. At this moment, he saw Duo Fu rush into
the house.
“Your Majesty, after Liu Furen learned of the news of Shu Fei niangniang s death, she cried until she fainted. However, not long after she woke up, she followed the messenger eunuch to the outside of the palace and insisted on seeing Your Majesty. She wanted Your Majesty’s permission to enter the inner palace to see Shu Fei niangniang…One last time.”
Emperor Yong Ping was obviously excited, and his eyes immediately turned red.
“Then what are you stopping me for? Hurry up and welcome auntie into the palace. Forget it, come with me to pick auntie up and bring the palanquin.” After saying that, he walked out in a hurry. As he walked, he said, “Minister Xie, you should go back first. This matter can be discussed later.” Xie Xian did not expect to receive the Emperor’s reply at that time. Moreover, no matter what choice the Emperor made, it was actually not related to the overall situation.
This matter was as stated on the surface. Regardless of whether the Emperor chose to marry with a noble family, there were pros and cons. There were no absolute benefits to the Emperor or obvious drawbacks to the Xie family. Originally, the Xie family did not intend to send the little girl into the palace. Otherwise, they would not have rejected the marriage between the late Emperor and Emperor Yong Ping. That was still to be the main wife. Their Xie family did not have this ambition.
It was just that Emperor Yong Ping asked and Xie Xian gave the answer.
How to choose was not the main point.
Xie Xian walked out of the palace under the moonlight and met more than twenty eunuchs coming toward him with great momentum. He turned to the side to make way. The imperial carriage was suspended in the air, and suppressed sobs came from the calf carriage that followed closely behind. Emperor Yong Ping’s painful and deep voice sounded in his heart, such as, “Zhen will definitely seek justice for Biao Younger Sister…
“My condolences, Auntie.”
“Younger Biao Sister would definitely not wish to see aunt so sad…” He spared no effort to persuade Madam Liu, his tone firm and painful. If not for the fact that Emperor Yong Ping had just finished putting on that heart-wrenching act of ‘Do not let me down’ and’ I can only trust you’, and was still weighing the pros and cons, he would have really thought that the Emperor had some true feelings for Consort He Shu.
Or perhaps, there was some truth to it, but a full score should be counted as a hundred.
At least from the looks of it now, the young Emperor Yong Ping was still quite calculate. Perhaps he was not as infatuated as the previous Emperor, or perhaps he had not met a wife who could make him so infatuated-at least Consort He Shu was not.
When Xie Xian returned to the Xie residence, Xiao Baoxin was still awake. He was leaning on the bed and eating iced grapes. In front of Youmei, he had already peeled off half a plate of grape skins.
Seeing Xie Xian return, Xiao Baoxin had the maids leave.
When Xie Xian left the residence, the backyard exploded. Everyone was guessing what kind of major event had happened. It was only when they heard Xie Xian say that Consort He Shu had been schemed against in the Inner Palace and that one corpse and two lives had been lost that they were so shocked that they could not close their eyes for a long time.
“Why did the emperor call you into the palace?”Xiao Baoxin bit his lip.” He thinks the Xie family is behind this?”
Her first reaction was that Emperor Yong Ping had treated her as a suspect.
Could it be the Empress?”
Xie Xian shook his head gently.” The Empress has recently lost her father, and the child in her stomach has also been lost. No matter how smart and capable a person is, it will be difficult for them to come out in a short period of time to carry out such a plan.”
Xiao Baoxin naturally believed that Empress Xiao’s grief was genuine, but did the Emperor believe it?
“Then why did the emperor askyou to enter the palace? To let you investigate this matter? Who do you think did it-my aunt?”
Xie Xian took off his cloak and casually threw it onto the couch.
“I can only say that it’s possible for everyone.”Facing Xiao Baoxin, he was not comparable to Emperor Yong Ping, so he naturally told him everything he knew. “It could be the Qi family who took revenge, or the Chu family who saw the situation clearly and wanted to reap the benefits. It could also be the family of Consort Pan Xian who was recently pregnant. Even I have to say that before we receive accurate news from the Palace, it’s not impossible for the Empress to be here.”
Xiao Baoxin was flabbergasted. Could she say it? Saying this was equivalent to not saying anything.
“He Shufei actually died…”
After calming down, Xiao Baoxin suddenly felt a cold wind blowing on his neck. These women in the palace were really not good people.
Even if she was a charming little lady at home, after entering the palace, under the expulsion of all kinds of interests, she might gradually become a man- eating monster.
Her hands were obviously not enough. Thinking about how she was still the Empress in her previous life and was not killed…
What kind of life had she experienced? She wondered if her life had changed like Emperor Yong Ping’s harem.
