Chapter 231: Chapter 231-Scheming

Translator: 549690339

Xiao Baoxin understood immediately. Emperor Yu Heng had already lost his wife and did not want to lose another soldier, so he could only swallow his so-called loss. Regardless of the twists and turns, it was good that Xiao Baoshu was fine.

“Then…What was the Emperor’s final arrangement? Where’s Sixth Lady Xu?”

“Order the Xiao and Xu families to choose a date for the marriage.” Xie Xian held Xiao Baoxin’s slender waist and sat down on the couch.

At this moment, Ming Yue came in with porridge. When she opened it, it was fish porridge that smelled good.

“Lord Lang, please eat first.” After saying that, he left.

“This is the most appropriate arrangement, but I’m afraid we can’t hide what’s going on.”Xie Xian sighed. Everything was within the other party’s calculations, yet he had to act according to the other party’s calculations. Emperor Yu Heng, who felt so aggrieved, was on the verge of going crazy.

Xiao Baoxin didn’t like Xu Liu Niangzi, who was high and mighty and full of schemes.

However, any Lil ‘Miss that had such a thing happen would be a tragedy.

In fact, the best ending would be for these two schemed young men and women to get married and get together.

Even the Prince Consort that Xiao Baoshu had been longing for was gone. The Xin ‘an Princess Consort that Xu Liuniang had been longing for was also gone. The relationship between these two, who should have been sister-in-law’s brother-in-law, had also undergone a qualitative change. They had become a young couple.

Life’s encounters were truly absurd.

“Have you seen Boshu? Did he say what happened?”Xiao Baoxin saw that Xie Xian was not eating the porridge and was instead continuing to talk to her, so he pushed the bowl of porridge towards him.

“Tell me as you eat, don’t keep starving.”

Xie Xian smiled and took two sips before putting down the spoon.

“Let’s go back to the room and talk. We’ve been tired all day.”

“You’re not eating?” Xiao Baoxin pulled him to sit down. His strength was so great that Xie Xian’s arm almost fell off. “Eat more. Your appetite is too small. No wonder your body is weak.”

It hurt.

Xie Xian slowly picked up the spoon and ate until he saw the bottom of the bowl. When Ming Yue came in to clean up, she was so shocked that her eyes didn’t fall into the bowl. When had she ever seen her husband eat so much? It’s already a world legend to have half a bowl of supper, but this time, there’s not even a grain of rice left.

When he lay back on the bed in the main room, Xie Xian had to spend a lot of effort to not vomit out all the food.

Her stomach had never been filled with so many things at night, so she felt a little conflicted.

“How did Baoshu arrive at Waguan Temple and be schemed against by someone and Xu Liuniang…The First Bureau?” Xiao Baoxin took off his outer shirt and hid under the blanket, only revealing his small head.

Her eyes were like a wet deer, pure and clear.

Of course, it was not the same as asking.

Xie Xian pulled her into his embrace and gently kissed her eyes.

“I didn’t see Baoshu. 1 heard it from Minister Xu.”He said,”Baoshu recently became the disciple of a wandering physician. He said he was going to the back mountain of Waguan Temple to pick herbs, so he went with him.” The more he walked, the more remote he became. The traveling physician asked him to look after a medicinal herb there and wait for four hours before picking it. The traveling physician went elsewhere to pick the medicinal herb.”

“Boshu has been waiting there all this time. 1 don’t know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, he was surrounded by people. As for the specifics, he didn’t know anything.”

“What about the traveling doctor?” Xiao Baoxin asked.

It was really his intelligent wife who had grasped the true nature of the matter.

“The emperor has already sent people to search everywhere, but I’m afraid they won’t be able to find it. Even if they could find it, it would only be a corpse. The person behind the scenes was scheming deeply. How could he let others catch the sore spot?”

“Then you see, the one who attacked was the Wang family?”Xiao Baoxin’s eyes darted around.” Or is it the Empress or the Crown Prince?”

Xie Xian laughed,”What’s the difference?”

They were in the same boat, and they were connected by blood. Unlike the Xin ‘Prince and the Xiao and Xu families, they were actually so weak that they couldn’t even withstand a single blow.

Especially when Emperor Yu Heng was in a rage, if he acted inappropriately, it would undoubtedly be cutting off his own arm, even if it was an unexpected surprise.

The person behind this had schemed against everyone. His scheming and shrewdness could not be underestimated.

“If the Crown Prince had such a brain, he would not have killed Noble Consort Liu.”

Xie Xian’s words caused Xiao Baoxin to explode from his bed and sit up straight. Before he could ask, he heard someone say,”

“So cute.”

“My wife is so cute.”

His eyes widened.

This… At that time, he actually noticed that she was not cute. She was clearly scared silly. In the past, whether it was her, Sikong Xiao, or Xiao Jing ‘ai, they all thought that it was Empress Wang who made a move.

Who would have thought that it was actually the Crown Prince!

If she remembered correctly, the Crown Prince was only seventeen this year, right?

To poison his father’s concubine at such a young age, the method was simple and crude, and the blood was terrifying. As expected of a descendant of the Song royal family, he had perfectly inherited the Song family’s characteristics of killing each other.

“It’s actually the Crown Prince?” Xiao Baoxin grabbed Xie Xian and asked,”How do you know it’s the Crown Prince? Does the Emperor know?””

Xie Xian smiled and asked the right question.

“I know, how could the emperor not know? It’s just that there’s no evidence. You know that Prince Huaiyang is the Emperor’s trusted aide.”Xie Xian smiled ambiguously.” He was originally in charge of the palace and held the position of Wei Wei. A while ago, the Emperor found out that he had made a small mistake and took back the position of Wei Wei. It was changed to Jiang Xia Prince.”

Therefore, Emperor Yu Heng was not doing nothing. He was clearly silently sweeping away all potential threats for King Xin ‘an.

It was probably because of Emperor Yu Heng’s thunderous methods that the person behind the scenes had no choice but to make a move. If he was any later, he would probably be in front of her.

The other party’s move would have been fine if he didn’t make a move, but once he made a move, it would pierce straight into your heart. It was aimed at your vital points.

All of Emperor Yu Heng’s previous hard work was in vain in an instant.

Xie Xian did not hide anything and told Xiao Baoxin everything he knew.

She propped her arms up and saw Xiao Baoxin biting her lower lip and lowering her head thoughtfully.

“What are you worried about?” he asked softly.

Xiao Baoxin quickly glanced at him. What she was worried about was whether the Crown Prince’s chances of ascending the throne had increased again.

Others only knew that the Xiao family could attack or retreat, and did not have to be tied to Xin ‘an Prince. However, only she knew that her Xiao family would definitely stop the Crown Prince from ascending the throne. This was a dead end.

If the Crown Prince didn’t die, then the Xiao Family would perish.

It was just that there were some things that he could not say too clearly to Xie Xian. He was so intelligent that he was afraid that if he gave himself away, he would be suspicious if there was anything that he could not explain.

It was true that he had given her all his heart, but the ability to read other people’s minds was too heaven-defying. It was so obvious that she didn’t know how he would react when he found out.

It was better not to take unnecessary risks.

“The person behind the scenes can deal with the Xu and Xiao families and even plot against the emperor. I’m worried that the next one…lt will be you.” She said gently. Everyone knew that Xie Xian was Emperor Yu Heng’s trusted aide and was not friendly to the aristocratic families. He was actually a sharp blade for the Emperor..
