Chapter 536: The Reverse Scales of the Whole Body

Translator: 549690339

Other than that, Yang Shao could not think of the reason why Xie Xian was targeting him like this.

Even if Xiao Jing ‘ai was no longer in Xiao Baoxin’s eyes, his maternal family was the Xiao Family after all, so he really wouldn’t let Xie Xian make a move and use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken. Moreover, Xiao Jing’ ai was already dead.

He had never thought that Xie Xian suspected that he was the one who killed Xiao Jing ‘ai. In his opinion, Xie Xian really didn’t need to pay attention to his family’s backyard.

However, after Yang Shao was promoted to the middle guard army, he had his own subordinate officials. His chief historian Xu Ze asked Yang Shao privately, “General, have you ever bought spies in the palace for your own use?”

This sentence scared Yang Shao,”How is this possible? Zi Yuan’s words can’t be said carelessly. That’s the Imperial Palace. How can I be allowed to do whatever I want?”

“Then how did the general know that Xie Pushe had once stopped the emperor from being promoted to general? One had to know that when the Emperor was discussing matters with the ministers, they would definitely close the door and not allow anyone to enter or leave.”

Yang Shao: “It was the Emperor’s side, Duo Fu, who revealed it to me in private.””

“Duo Fu is the Emperor’s trusted eunuch.”

Yang Shao wasn’t stupid. When he said this, he also understood the crux of the matter.

He was highly valued by the Emperor and had been promoted several times in a year. He also wanted to give the princess to him, but in the end, he was just someone without a foundation. Duo Fu was the Emperor’s confidant. There were people who fawned over the Emperor, but there was no place for him.

The reason why he was told this was because someone wanted him to pass the message to him.

Who could it be?

Yang Shao shuddered in his heart.

“General, do you understand?” Xu Ze smiled. “Putting aside whether the Emperor will promote General to General of the Army, at least the Emperor does not want General to be on good terms with Xie Pushe.”

“The Xie and Xiao families ‘marriage alliance has helped the emperor ascend to the throne. The power is already great enough. If the general continues to be friendly with the Xie and Xiao families, then the emperor would not be happy to see it.”

Yang Shao’s heart turned cold.” Emperor…” He’s only fourteen years old.”

They had already started to sow discord and weigh the forces.

This scheming, if not, he could be the emperor.

“In this lowly one’s opinion, the general can accept Princess Lujiang’s marriage. Of course, there was no need for the general to say it out loud. As long as the emperor brought up the old matter, the general could take advantage of the situation.”

Yang Shao thought to himself, If that’s the case, then I’ll have to agree.

Princess Lu Jiang’s marriage was also the Eldest Emperor’s favorite. Where could he find a suitable royal princess, and his maternal family had a grudge against the Xiao and Xie families?

If this marriage was successful, it would be strange if the Xiao and Xie Families were to get close to Yang Shao.

Yang Shao was speechless. Why did he feel that after Xiao Jing ‘ai messed up his life, he had fallen into the hands of the new emperor?

He could choose not to marry Princess Lujiang, and even if a cow did not drink water, the emperor could not force him to do so. However, if he wanted to improve in the future, it would be even more difficult.

After Yang Shao understood, Xie Xian’s attitude wasn’t that important anymore.

What he would do in the future depended on Yang Shao’s attitude.

However, since Yang Shao’s words had already spread, how could Xie Xian not respond?

It was just that Pan Shuo was bent on pulling Xie Xian and Yang Shao to a place to drink and talk about the matter face to face, which Xie Xian could not agree to. In the blink of an eye, it was already the twelfth lunar month. It would be the time for labor in another month.

Xiao Baoxin’s stomach was as round as a drum.

Xie Xian had placed all his attention on his own residence. Other than going to court to discuss political affairs, he was also in the Xie family. He was in two spots and one line, and there was a very regular pattern. Not to mention Pan Shuo, even Emperor Yong Ping would not be able to call him out if he did not have any political affairs. Even when he was in the Imperial Palace, he would receive news from the Xie residence three times a day under the bright moon, just in case there was any negligence.

How could he make an exception for Yang Shao?

“Are you estranging yourself from the rest of us? It’s been a long time since we’ve gathered together. I’ve been promoted to look for you, but you’re not going? Are you blaming Yang Jingyun for Second Lady Xiao’s death? His concubine had already paid with her life. Killing someone was nothing more than a nod. The emperor had even rejected Yang Jingyun’s offer to be a matchmaker. He was not an ungrateful person.”

“Don’t keep it all day long. Even if Lady Xiao gives birth today, can you take her place?”

Xie Xian’s cold eyes narrowed, and Pan Shuo felt his heart skip a beat. He knew that he had spoken without restraint and had touched Xie Xian’s reverse scale.

It could be said that the reverse scale on Xie Xian’s body was Xiao Baoxin!

“I’m not saying that Sister-in-law can give birth now, I’m saying… You don’t have to be so nervous. I already have three sons and two daughters. You’ll be much more relaxed if you let it go.”Pan Shuo said casually.

“That’s because you don’t have a heart.” Xie Xian said coldly.

How could he still have the cheek to show off?

“A woman’s childbirth is a life and death ordeal. Half a leg is already at the gates of hell, and you’re still shamelessly boasting that there’s no need to be so nervous. If you were someone who loved your wife and son, you definitely wouldn’t be talking and laughing like this.”

Alright, if he continued, the two of them would become enemies.

Pan Shuo suppressed his slight displeasure.” I’m just afraid that we’ll be estranged from each other…”

Were they not estranged?

He had been promoted to a casual rider’s constant attendant and held a banquet. Xie Xian was at home accompanying his wife and did not even go over. Did he still treat him as a brother?

To be honest, Xie Xian was always at home with his wife. He couldn’t get promoted and get a raise every day, right?

If not for his magnanimity, he would have been angry.

Now that she wanted to see Xie Xian, she would either have to go to the Imperial Court or come to the Xie Clan.

Pan Shuo sat in Rong An Hall, holding tea and eating snacks. Listening to the light rain outside the window, he felt that his life was very comfortable. For a moment, he felt a little touched. This was…Time is peaceful?

Having a wife is enough?

“There’s nothing to be distant about. You’re the one who’s overthinking. In the past, I didn’t like to socialize and rarely went out to socialize.””If Jing Yun thinks so, then he’s overthinking things,” Xie Xian said lightly.”

“As for Jing Yun’s marriage, it’s up to him. Second Mother Xiao is already dead, and Censor Xiao no longer wants to pursue the matter. My brother-in-law, who lives next door, won’t be at odds with him for no reason just because he’s talking about marriage again.”

“In fact, the Emperor wants Jing Yun to marry the princess. He wants to put Jing Yun in an important position, which is a good thing.”

Pan Shuo raised his eyebrows.

“Is Princess Lujiang’s maternal family the Zhou family?”

“Which family in Jiankang City doesn’t have relatives with which family, and which family doesn’t have old grudges with which family?” If he really wanted to investigate, he was afraid that none of them were good.”

“.. What do you mean?”

“I have no objections. I respect Brother Yang’s choice.”

Pan Shuo was about to ask more when he heard hurried footsteps outside. Before he could react, Xie Xian had already stood up, his entire body stiff. The Xie family was a century-old family, and their servants were also very disciplined. They were not allowed to be so flustered, and everything had to be done in a calm and measured manner.

“What is it?” Xie Xian had already shouted and walked out.

Outside, Ming Yue was slightly hesitant.””The Ninth Young Master has returned to the residence and even brought it back…Two pregnant women. One of them had just entered the door when…It was bleeding…She heard that she had a conflict with someone outside and bumped into him..”
