With Emperor Yu Heng’s tacit approval, the imperial physician quickly came to a conclusion. The cake was indeed poisoned, and it was highly toxic.
At that time, Prince Xin ‘an had fallen to the ground and fainted. Emperor Yu Heng then called the imperial physician to treat him.
Princess Xuan Cheng only held onto Emperor Yu Heng’s clothes and refused to let go.”Father, don’t blame brother. He didn’t do it on purpose. He didn’t know…”
” Bring Princess Xuancheng to the side to rest.” Emperor Yu Heng glanced down and a eunuch came forward to drag Princess Xuancheng away. At this moment, Prince Huaiyang arrived. He was fat and could not care less about his posture. He shook the fat all over his body and jogged to the front. Before he could speak, Emperor Yu Heng ordered,
“Go and seal up the shops selling pancakes for Zhen. Put them all in prison and investigate them thoroughly!”
Along the way, the young eunuch who had passed down the imperial edict had already explained the matter clearly. Prince Huaiyang had already known the ins and outs of the matter, so he left after receiving the order.
They found the source of the poison at the first possible moment. At least these ladies escaped the disaster and were not interrogated by the palace guards. Even so, they still had to endure the cold wind for half a day. After Emperor Yu Heng gave the order, he sat down beside Noble Consort Liu and wiped his tears. Empress Wang’s face was almost black.
This chaotic scene lasted until the end of the day (13:00 – 15:00). Emperor Yuheng then ordered people to carry Liu Guifei’s body onto the carriage, and the group returned to Jiankang City in a grand manner.
When Xiao Baoxin went to Second Master Xiao’s residence, Furen Xiao had yet to return from the Eldest Princess ‘chrysanthemum-admiring banquet.
As she expected, Madam Xiao did not bring Xiao Jing ‘ai to the banquet and left her alone in the residence.
Second Master Xiao’s mansion was not far from the Xiao Mansion. One was in the west and the other was in the east. They were only two streets apart.
However, because they moved out in a hurry, they didn’t have time to choose. Compared to the original Xiao Manor, it was more than twice as small. Fortunately, the population of the second household was not very large, so it was enough to live in.
Xiao Jing ‘ai was in the small courtyard on the east side of the backyard. Although Madam Xiao looked down on Xiao Jing’ ai, she was the head of the household and the county head, so she did not blame her. All the equipment was of top grade, not inferior to Xiao Miaorong.
When Xiao Baoxin arrived, Xiao Jing ‘ai was playing with a cat by the window. She was wearing a light yellow dress and her slender waist was barely visible.
Her face was thin and her jaw was much sharper. She didn’t put on any makeup, but her eyes were deep and bright, making her look even more charming.
When he heard that she was sick a few days ago and had been bedridden for half a month, Second Master Xiao felt sorry for his daughter and released her from her confinement. He also gave her a kitten as a companion, and the relationship between father and daughter eased.
Seeing that it was Xiao Baoxin, she did not even move her body. She only smiled coldly.
“Why, is elder sister here to laugh at me while enjoying the spring breeze?”
“Second Mother got what she wanted, what joke is there for me to see?”Xiao Baoxin pushed it back on the spot. The two sisters were not afraid.
Yang Shao was the one she had spent so much effort and abandoned all her pride to get. He was the one she wanted the most, so how could he be a joke? Even if it was a joke, she was the one who made it up.
Xiao Jing ‘ai smiled.” If you’re not here to laugh at me, 1 really don’t know why you’re here.” You and 1…Could it be that they could sit down and chat calmly? Sisters?”
“It’s too boring to kick someone when they’re down.”
Xiao Baoxin smiled.” As long as I find it interesting. “”After saying that, she instructed the maids,”You can all go down. The two of us sisters want to…” Don’t come in and disturb me if there’s nothing. 1 don’t need you to serve me.”
The maids on both sides filed out without any objection.
Xiao Jing ‘ai laughed self-deprecatingly. This master was worse than an outsider. He was giving orders in her room, and he actually did as he was told.
In the future, no matter what, this would not work.
In front of her eyes, the maids serving her had changed a few times. They were all Madam Xiao’s people, and no one really took her words seriously.
The situation was weaker than others, so she did not force it. However, one day, when she got married, even if she made the decision, no one could control her anymore!.
One day…
She wanted to make everyone look down on her today and make everyone prostrate at her feet.
“Second Mother, what kind of beautiful dream are you having again?”Xiao Baoxin walked up to her with a smile and gently placed his hand on Xiao Jing ‘ai’s head, touching her like she was touching a cat.
“What are you doing?” Xiao Jing ‘ai flew into a rage out of humiliation.” Don’t touch my head!”
Xiao Baoxin: Do you think I love touching you?
If I don’t touch you, how would 1 know what you’re thinking?
“Second Mother, I’m thinking about something today.”Xiao Baoxin said seriously,”We… Was it just a dream? There was no rebirth, and there was nothing…Was the change of dynasties just a dream?”
“Why, are you regretting choosing the short-lived Xie Xian and not Yang Shao?”Xiao Jing ‘ai sneered.
Xiao Baoxin sighed and put one hand on Xiao Jing ‘ai’s shoulder as he whispered into her ear,””Noble Consort Liu is dead.”
Xiao Jing ‘ai’s eyes widened. She didn’t control her strength and pinched the cat so hard that it cried out and jumped off her body. Xiao Jingai was not in the mood to care about the cat.
“Noble Consort Liu? The Consort Liu of the Xin ‘an King’s mother?”
” Shouldn’t she die in two years?’
Why did you die so early?
‘Doesn’t that mean everything has been brought forward? The emperor would die two years in advance, and the crown prince would ascend the throne two years in advance. That was not right. Yang Shao was still a general in Jiankang and had not left Jiankang to fight outside. What capital did he have to threaten the emperor to order the vassals to change dynasties?!’
Xiao Jing ‘ai didn’t care about the small differences in the past.
But this time, the death of Imperial Concubine Liu had clearly caused a chain reaction that was too great. It was a change like a tsunami, and she had no choice but to face the current situation that was completely different from her previous life.
Strange Dao Xiao Baoxin even suspected that it was a dream.
She wanted to, but she had endured the pain of having her child snatched away for more than ten years. It could not be fake!
Suffering day and night, seeing Xiao Baoxin sitting on the throne of the Empress and calling the wind and summoning the rain, seeing Yang Shao commanding the world in the highest position, sitting on countless beauties but not even bothering to look at her, these could not be fake!
How could the suffering, torment, and tribulations she had suffered be fake?!
” It’s Princess Xuancheng and the mother of Xin ‘an King,” Xiao Baoxin gave a direct answer.” It’s the Noble Consort Liu you’re thinking of.”
Xiao Jing ‘ai was obviously panicking. This was completely different from what she knew in her previous life.
“Why did you suddenly come to see me? It can’t be just to tell me this news. It’s meaningless.”She suddenly realized that she and Xiao Baoxin could not exchange what they needed, look at the stars and the moon together, and talk about their ideals in life.
“You left Jiankang a long time ago in your previous life. You don’t know what happened in the past few years, so you want to ask me.. Is that so?”
