“Believe me.” Xiao Baoxin grabbed his sleeve.-Quickly go and stop my Abba, don’t let him enter the palace. Time was of the essence and could not be delayed. Since Empress Wang could kill the Emperor, who knew what she would do next…Maybe he wanted to kill all of you by letting you enter the
palace.”
In other words, she would get rid of all the people who were obstructing her son’s ascension to the throne at once.
Xie Xian took a deep look at her and called in Qingfeng Mingyue and even
Suiyun.
“The three of you, gather all the men of sacrifice that the Xie family can use. Mingyue will lead a team to the Xiao Mansion in Qingxi Alley. If Sikong Xiao is still here, no matter which eunuch summons him into the palace, you must stop him. Suiyun led the second team to Xin ’an Prince’s mansion and also stopped Xin’ an Prince from entering the palace. The third team, Qing Feng, guarded outside the palace. If Sikong Xiao and Prince Xin ’an appeared, they would stop them from entering the palace.”
“Bring them to the Xie Manor.”
The three of them looked at each other. Qing Feng stepped forward and said,”
“I wonder what Master Lang is doing…Even if we stop someone, we have to have a reason, otherwise…” Without saying anything else, Sikong Xiao was Xie Xian’s father-in-law, so the two of them would be able to argue it out no matter what. However, Xin ‘an King was different. He was a prince and could become the Crown Prince at any moment. If you stopped him from entering the palace without a good reason, what were you trying to do?
To put it bluntly, you want to threaten the prince…Who was it?
Xie Xian did not even look at Xiao Baoxin.”Tell them that the Emperor has
passed away.”
The three of them were shocked. Brightmoon directly bit his hand.
The sky changed just like that?
Did it have to be so sudden?
The palace summoned the princes and ministers into the palace, but their master refused to let them in. This could not withstand thinking about it, and the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
The few of them had a tacit understanding not to ask where the rumor came from. If it could come from their master’s mouth, it could only be the truth.
They had this understanding.
“This matter is urgent and cannot be losf’Xie Xian said in a deep voice. “Let’s
act immediately.”
Orders and prohibitions were carried out.
The three of them left.
“I want to see my father.” Xiao Baoxin suddenly stood up with a serious
expression. She couldn’t just wait like this.
“I’m here for everything. Don’t panic.”Xie Xian pulled her hand and made her sit on the couch. “Where are you going? If he returned home, what if his father-in-law was already on his way to the palace? It’s a waste of time to go to the Xiao Manor to pick you up after stopping your father-in-law.
Moreover, if you do something to the fetus, it will only cause trouble…! might have been too harsh. Think about it, isn t that right?
Xiao Baoxin actually knew that Xie Xian’s arrangements were already very thorough, but she just couldn’t let it go in her heart.
If the Crown Prince ascends to the throne, our family will have no way out.”Xiao Baoxin said.
Xie Xian nodded.” I know. That’s why I’ll do my best.”
Qingxi Alley was closer to the palace than the Xie family. If they set off from home at the same time, Sikong Xiao must have arrived at the palace first.
Zhang Yu was not an imperial eunuch and had never been out of the palace before, so he was not completely familiar with the route. No matter how famous the Wang and Xie families of Black-clothed Alley were, it would take some time to find the way.
Xie Xian didn’t know who the eunuch sent to Sikong Xiao’s place was. If it was the eunuch who delivered the decree, he should have left the house long ago.
If they could block him, they would most likely be outside the palace.
As for Prince Xin ‘an, he was in the eastern suburbs. There were many royal families there, and Prince Huaiyang and Prince Jiangxia were also there.
It had to be said that Empress Wang’s move was ruthless enough to put him in a desperate situation.
Emperor Epsilon was ruthless, but what he paid attention to was the way of being a ruler, the way of a wise ruler. Empress Wang first killed the emperor and then summoned the ministers into the palace. It was clear that those who obeyed would prosper and those who rebelled would die. As long as there were those who did not submit, they would all be killed.
No one dared to think that way before the incident happened.
Killing the king and killing the husband was not something that ordinary people could do. Since she had done it, she might as well go all out.
Xie Xian completely believed what Xiao Baoxin said without a trace of doubt. All his countermeasures were based on the fact that what she said was true.
“Come!” “Call the butler over,” he suddenly raised his voice.”
Cai Wei stood guard outside the door. Although she did not know what had happened, the atmosphere in Rong An Hall was solemn. Even the most trusted aide of the Lang Lord had been sent out. She knew that the situation was serious and did not dare to delay. She actually used her qinggong in the Xie Manor and in less than a cup of tea’s time, she had pulled the housekeeper over.
The butler was panting and sweating profusely.”Lord Lang.
Xie Xian sat upright.” Send someone to invite General Yang Shao over.”
Xiao Baoxin glanced at Xie Xian and didn’t say anything.
The butler was stunned.” I wonder where General Yang’s residence is.’”
” The sixth room on the west side of Imperial Street.
This showed the relationship between Xie Xian and Yang Shao. Others might not know, but he knew everything. At least the two of them were not at odds with each other as they seemed.
“Go and invite him immediately. Tell him that I have an extremely urgent matter and ask him to put down what he is doing immediately. He’s off today, so he should be at home.”
The butler quickly left.
“Why did you call Yang Shao here?”Xiao Baoxin was puzzled.
That fellow wanted military power but had no military power, wanted real power but had no real power, and did not have a foundation in the imperial court. She did not feel that she needed Yang Shao.
“There has to be a source for the news.” Xie Xian said in a low voice.
That’s right, she could hear the voices in other people’s hearts, so she could know what Zhang Yu was thinking. She knew that the Emperor was killed by the Empress, but she could not say this out loud.
There was no need to hide it from his father, but he had to find an excuse from Xin ‘an King.
Yang Shao was the Emperor’s direct general and was usually responsible for the Emperor’s safety. As long as the reason was reasonable, it was not impossible to cover it up.
Xiao Baoxin held Xie Xian’s hand tightly. His fingers were very cold and a little damp.
‘Don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything.’
Xiao Baoxin’s eyes were filled with tears.
They had mixed feelings. They were worried about Sikong Xiao and worried that if the Crown Prince succeeded, they would all die after he ascended the throne. However, amidst all these emotions, she was also deeply moved. Xie Xian trusted her unconditionally and did not even ask a single unnecessary question.
Where would he go in the future?
He did not know if they would still be alive to see the sun tomorrow.
Now that things had developed to this extent, how were they going to accomplish anything if they found Xin ‘an King and Abba?
No matter who they were, they did not have military power. Their father was the general of the army, the general in charge of the Imperial City. However, it was still uncertain whether King Jiang Xia, who was in charge of the Imperial Palace, and Xue Mu, the general of the garrison outside the city, were enemies or friends. If the two of them sided with Empress Wang, they would be sandwiched in the middle and chased by both sides.
No matter who won or lost, it would probably be a situation where both sides suffered.
Xie Xian had obviously thought of this as well. He sent the steward to send twenty guards to Sikong Xiao and Censor Xiao’s residence. Regardless of whether Sikong Xiao was present or not, they would first bring Madam Xie and Censor Xiao’s family to the Xie residence to hide.
When the time came for a real fight, someone would take the opportunity to burn the backyard and wipe out the Xiao and Xie Manors..
