“Emperor, aren’t you listening too much to Xie Xian?”
Prince Huaiyang and Prince Jiangxia headed straight for Stone City.
On the way, the two uncle and nephew chatted. Prince Huaiyang frowned and said in dissatisfaction,”Sending out all the royal guards in the palace, I’ve never heard of this before. For such an important matter, even her life was in Xie Xian’s hands.”
The king of Jiangxia is old and prudent.
In the dark sky, lanterns were hung outside the carriage, and a luminous pearl was placed in the spacious carriage.
Prince Jiang Xia spent money like water. From time to time, he would be short of money. He would look for people everywhere to make money. He would borrow money from Emperor Yu Heng many times, but he used good things. The color of this luminous pearl was definitely of top grade. It was flowing with light and colorful. Even Prince Huaiyang, who was used to seeing good things, could not help but envy it. It made Prince Jiangxia’s old face look younger.
Uncle… Then we won’t be able to stand out.”
Seeing that Prince Jiangxia had not expressed his opinion, Prince Huaiyang raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.
“Why didn’t you listen to Xie Xian?” Jiang Xia smiled.” The Emperor was able to sit on that dragon throne because of the Xie and Xiao Families. No matter how shrewd the Emperor was, he was only fourteen years old. When faced with such a big matter, it was inevitable that he could not make up his mind. It would not be wrong to listen to the person who helped him ascend the throne.” They still wanted to show off?
After this hurdle, it would be good if Emperor Yong Ping did not look for the Empress Wang who had defected back then.
How could he not know what kind of quality he was?
Xie Xian’s family was a righteous person. They were the vanguard of Emperor Yong Ping’s ascension to the throne. At most, they were icing on the cake. They also had a dark history. If they were alive, they could be beautiful and unrestrained. Why did they need a folding calf cart?
‘Tm too tired from thinking too much.”He spoke in a drawn-out voice, looking like a good elder who was talking and laughing earnestly.
Prince Jiangxia was not fooled by Prince Huaiyang. He had heard of Prince Xin ‘an’s exquisite acting skills even though he had not seen it with his own eyes. His fat body did not affect his soft figure. He was a black-hearted and thick-skinned thing.
The uncle and nephew both hid their intentions.
“Who in this world isn’t tired?’”‘King Huaiyang’s eyes narrowed into a line, and his jaw was squeezed out by him. Sitting alone in the carriage, he took up most of the space. King Jiangxia felt that the air was overflowing from him.
“Aren’t I also thinking for our Song family’s imperial family? Xie Xian alone has the Emperor in his hands. Outside, there’s still Xiang Xiao Yun attacking the east and west. We shouldn’t raise a tiger to invite trouble…In the end, he picked the fruit on the ground.”
King Jiang Xia:” We don’t know what will happen tomorrow. Let’s get through this first.””
If it was a peaceful and prosperous time, the Prince of Guiyang would not have been worried. Even the bloodthirsty Emperor Yu Heng could not bear to kill such a good-for-nothing, afraid that he would waste the knife in his hand.
However, in this chaotic world, the situation was changing. Daliang was about to be turned into a hornet’s nest, and even the old sparrows wanted to come out and fight for food.
This was a little disgusting.
The Prince of Guiyang had one or two generals who were quite capable. “Take one step at a time, Imperial Uncle.’The king of Huaiyang did not give up. “Princess Anji was such an overbearing person in the previous dynasty that she even made Xie Xian become a nun in the temple…Think about it when you can’t sleep.”
King Jiang Xia nodded slowly.
The car suddenly stopped. They had arrived at Stone City.
King Jiang Xia flashed his token and only allowed the group of people to pass after the guard on the city gate tower confirmed that it was correct. In fact, he had recognized King Jiang Xia’s face.
However, as long as there was no token, Eternal Peace Imperial Capital would not open the city gates.
It was already the middle of the night. There were no stars or moon. The sky was covered in dark clouds. The air was stuffy and it looked like rain was about to fall.
Let’s talk about it after this battle is over?”Prince Jiangxia turned to look at Prince Huaiyang.
The Prince of Huaiyang squeezed out a brilliant smile on his fat face. His facial features were almost gone.
“I will definitely follow Imperial Uncle’s lead.”
King Jiang Xia nodded.” Swords and swords have no eyes. The flames of war are merciless. Let’s survive first…” They might not even survive until the war ended. I hope the heavens will bless us.”
The Prince of Huaiyang did not even want to say anything. His face was filled with disdain. It was too unlucky.
Can’t you say something human?
King Jiang Xia was highly respected and was already old. It did not matter if he survived or not. He was still young and in his prime. The glory and wealth of the latter half of his life were waiting for him. He was afraid of death.
With a few thunders, the heavy rain that had been held back for half a day finally came down. Before they could enter the house, the two princes were drenched.
“It doesn’t feel very auspicious.” Jiang Xia King muttered.
If killing was not illegal, the Prince of Huaiyang would have already killed him.
“The sky is so big!”
The King of Huaiyang was superstitious and knew that a big battle was coming He went to the small Buddhist hall where the Empress Dowager was and burned incense.
Prince Jiang Xia gave Prince Huaiyang a strange look and smiled without saying anything.

The rain continued until the next morning.
The King of Guiyang, however, led his troops to the new pavilion before dawn.
Xinting was close to the Yangtze River and was the southwest fortress of Jiankang, the capital. Anyone who attacked the city would have to pass through Xmting. Taizu once called it the place where soldiers rushed, and it was a battleground for military strategists.
The King of Guiyang personally supervised the battle, and both sides fought to a draw.
Almost in the morning, the news spread throughout Jiankang City. The Prince of Guiyang, who had everyone on tenterhooks, had finally arrived. In just one morning, there were no less than five killings and looting in Jiankang City. Everyone in the city was in danger.
The danger was not only the rebel army that could attack at any time, but also the people in the city who could be harmed by their own people at any time.
The imperial court had decreed that anyone who burned, killed, or looted would be killed by the government. There was no need to escort them.
Even so, although crime was rare, it still did not stop. There were even people who broke into their homes to rob them. The doors of the aristocratic families all had guards, so they were not worried about this. Most of the merchants were attacked, and there were very few ordinary people.
The Xie Clan had been paying attention to the war, so they naturally knew about it immediately.
This time, everyone gathered at Yi An Hall. Even Doctor Xue and the other doctors were there to receive them. They were afraid that the two pregnant women in the residence would have an emergency so that they could be treated nearby.
Unknowingly, the atmosphere was raised again.
No one had much appetite, so they no longer forced a smile.
The atmosphere was too oppressive. Xiao Baoxin sat for a while before going to the west wing to rest. After entering the room, he sent the maids away.
Even Youmei, who was slow-witted, realized that the four maids had been guarding the door for the past few days, and they had been guarding it from afar.
“Shouldn’t we serve him personally?”She naively asked,” Is this what the head maid does?”
“We’ll do whatever the good Madam asks us to do.””
Have we fallen out of favor?” Youmei paused for a while and couldn’t help but ask. She felt a sense of crisis from losing her job. It was normal for her to be disliked, and she would not say that she would not cause trouble, relying on her strength that was greater than others.
However, why were the others who were eloquent like her and sent far away to the ‘borderland’?
