Hearing Xie Xian’s words, Twelfth Aunt Wang didn’t know what to say.
What did she mean by ‘afraid of not being able to take care’? She had thought that she was allowed to enter the palace to make up for the shortcomings and help Xiao Baoxin take care of the Empress’ emotions. In the end, after listening to the entire sentence, she finally understood the intentions of this uncle. He clearly wanted her to enter the palace to take care of Xiao Baoxin.
Xie Xian was indeed the one who spoiled his wife excessively.
After all, men and women were very guarded. Even if they could see each other at family banquets or when greeting the elders, they would stay far away and rarely interact with each other. She had been married into the Xie family for three to four years, but she had only spoken a few words to Xie Xian.
To be honest, the impact of facing reality so directly and having a live version of it was quite big. Wang Shierniang was speechless for a moment.
After a while, he said,
“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of sister-in-law.”
Alright, now she understood the main idea. In fact, she had the role of Mei. She was not allowed to casually bring a maid into the inner court of the palace. Otherwise, she would have nothing to do with it. Although their identities were different, their responsibilities were the same.
“Thankyou.” Xie Xian smiled.
It was an affirmation of Wang Shierniang’s knowledge.
It had been an hour since Xiao Baoxin and Twelfth Madam Wang had changed into their normal clothes. Twelfth Madam Wang had put on some makeup and brushed her eyebrows lightly. Although she was going to report the funeral, she still had to follow the basic etiquette of entering the palace.
Xiao Baoxin, on the other hand, did not put on any makeup after getting pregnant. His face was plain, but he still had bright eyes and white teeth. He was radiant.
Xie Xian and Xiao Baoxin sat in the front of the bullock-cart, while Wang
Shierniang sat alone in the back.
There were many things that he had to explain to Xiao Baoxin. Otherwise, Xiao Baoxin would have to sit in the same car as Wang Shier’s mother.
“.. Shouldn’t the Emperor be personally speaking to the Empress about this matter? We are outsiders after all, right?” Xiao Baoxin was puzzled.
Xie Xian also had a headache.” The Emperor is also afraid that he can’t appease Empress Xiao’s emotions. He thinks that you have always been on good terms with the Empress, and our families are relatives, so he came to me for help.
Xiao Baoxin laughed coldly.” At the end of the day, I still don’t care. This kind of thing should be said by my closest relatives.””
It was not that she was unwilling to make this trip. The Emperor was too unreliable. This kind of thing was his responsibility as a husband. If he needed to be appeased and resolved, it should be the Emperor who stood up for him as a husband.
“Empress…! have a body.” Xie Xian softly said.
Xiao Baoxin subconsciously covered his mouth. This little Emperor was strong.
The concubines in the harem were blooming everywhere!
“Recently, the Empress’ s health has not been good. Yesterday, she invited the imperial physician to diagnose her pulse. He said that the fetus is still a little unstable and it is best to recuperate.”Xie Xian said helplessly. If it wasn’t for this situation, his own wife being pregnant, he wouldn’t have agreed to the
Emperor’s words.
Let Xie Wan go. He knew that his sister and Empress Xiao were not very close, so it would not have any comforting effect.
The Emperor didn’t dare to say it, afraid of provoking the Empress.
However, the country father was dead, and this matter could not be hidden even if he wanted to. Even from a human perspective, he shouldn’t hide it from the empress’s father.
“There are many barbarians in Yizhou. Since last year, the world has been in chaos. The barbarian countries have made many moves, but they were all suppressed by uncle. Previously, the Emperor had issued an imperial edict hoping that Uncle would come to Jiankang. However, the Barbarian Gang had been in constant turmoil. In the most recent battle, Uncle had been poisoned by an arrow and died half a month later. Yizhou eight hundred miles urgent secret letter today sent to the emperor’s eyes.”
It could be said that the death of Provincial Governor Xiao was not just a family matter, but also a national matter.
Emperor Yong Ping was stunned.
There was still Xie Xian in the court, but what about his Empress? He doesn t have this kind of experience ah how to take care of a pregnant woman s emotions a pregnant woman should understand?
He thought of Xiao Baoxin.
Xiao Baoxin, who had been entrusted with such a heavy responsibility, thought,”Did these people really not realize that I’m also a pregnant woman who can’t be tired or annoyed?”
Alright, Empress Xiao was her best friend, so she was duty-bound for this kind of thing. She was angry at Emperor Yong Ping. He had no sense of responsibility and only knew how to cause trouble for others.
Unlike her husband, who stood in front of her and shielded her from the wind and rain.
Although in terms of martial strength, she could defeat Xie Xian with a single finger, but in terms of mental strength and intelligence, be it in terms of spirit or in terms of reality, he was undoubtedly the strongest.
.. The only problem now was Empress Xiao’s stomach. Xiao Baoxin also had a headache.
Empress Xiao had just lost a child and finally welcomed a new life. Even if the fetus was unstable, it was the most difficult comfort for her.
Provincial Governor Xiao was Empress Xiao’s biological father. In the past, Xiao Baoxin had heard the Empress mention Provincial Governor Xiao many times. Her mother had died early, and the Xiao family, from Provincial Governor Xiao to her elder brother, had treated her very well. Empress Xiao’s relationship with her family was extremely deep.
Xiao Baoxin found it hard to imagine how the Empress would feel when she heard the news of Provincial Governor Xiao’s death.
“You know, I’m really not good at comforting people.”Xiao Baoxin was in a difficult position. The only thing that was still useful was that she had the innate skill to hear other people’s thoughts, right?
However, there was a limit to what he could do.
Xie Xian held her hand.” Don’t worry. The Emperor has already instructed the Imperial Physician to wait at Taiji Palace. As long as you enter Jiaofang Palace, the Emperor will order two Imperial Censors to stand guard outside. If anything goes wrong, the Imperial Physician will enter.”
“You only need to inform the Empress of this news.”
“.. Once the Empress becomes agitated and does something irrational, you must protect yourself. You know, you’re pregnant too. You can’t put yourself in danger.”
Xiao Baoxin couldn’t help but roll his eyes. She knew that she needed to be careful in the harem, but the Empress wasn’t a ferocious beast. There was really no need to be so careful.
“Did you hear that? Don’t be careless.” Xie Xian said seriously.
Xiao Baoxin nodded repeatedly. He really didn’t dare to be stubborn with him. This fellow didn’t know kung fu, so he really didn’t know how sharp the ears of martial artists were. They were getting closer and closer to the Imperial Palace, and she didn’t want Xie Xian to say these words to let others hear them.
“Alright, I understand. I’ll listen to your orders.”
Xie Xian was helpless,”It’s not an order, it’s a warning.” There’s nothing wrong with being careful.”
“That’s right.”
The husband and wife didn’t have time to talk anymore. They entered the palace gate and got into their respective cars. One went to Taiji Palace, while Ling and Twelfth Aunt Wang went straight to Jiaofang Palace.
Xiao Baoxin didn’t explain much to Twelfth Madam Wang along the way. Every move in the palace was punished. It was better not to break any taboos. The more you said, the more mistakes you made. The less you said, the fewer mistakes you made.
Empress Xiao didn’t let Xiao Baoxin and the other two wait for long. In the time it took to pass on the message, she directly had someone pick them up to go to the second room.
Seeing Empress Xiao, Xiao Baoxin was simply stunned. His face was too ugly. He didn’t put on any makeup and his face was dark yellow. Only his eyes were bright and shining.
His face, which was already ordinary, looked even more haggard.
“Did the emperor ask you to accompany me into the palace? I think you know.” Empress Xiao smiled and raised her hand to signal them to sit on the embroidered stool that had just been placed by the couch. “The imperial doctor said that my fetus was unstable and told me to recuperate. I was feeling stifled when you came.”
