Chapter 936: Chapter 936-First Chance
Who said that dragons gave birth to dragons, phoenixes gave birth to phoenixes, and the son of a mouse could dig holes?
Sikong Xiao was a brawny man who only had kung fu. He didn’t have a brain and used all his strength to fight. He didn’t expect that his son would have some foresight, a good brain, and would judge the situation.
He did not believe that Xiao Baoshu could not hear the crying. In fact, this person had been absent-minded ever since he came out of the East Hall.
I’m afraid there’s already been something in my stomach.
The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng did not have many twists and turns in her heart, so she did not hear the hesitation in Xiao Baoshu’s words. When she heard him say that he seemed to have it, she could not take it anymore. She stood up and was about to barge in.
“Let’s see who dares to stop me!”
Zhuge Shu was called by Duo Fu to do the illegal business that Xie Xian had given him. The one who was blocked by the spear was another general. He was burly and stubborn. Whatever the higher-ups said, it did not matter if you were the eldest princess or some king.
“No one is allowed to enter without being summoned.”
“Didn’t you hear the crying inside?”The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng’s eyes were red.” You’re blocking us from entering, and Imperial Brother hasn’t said a word. What’s going on? Who’s the boss in Taiji Palace now?””
“Where’s the Empress? I want to see the Empress!”
Xiao Baoshu walked forward and hugged her, letting her snuggle into his embrace.””Xuancheng, don’t be impatient. Didn’t the Seventeenth King enter?”
” But, but the crying…” Xuancheng Eldest Princess ‘heart was already in her throat. Because the West Hall did not allow them to enter, they did not see the Emperor. Even Little Seventeen had to go in alone.
This forced her to think about the darkest parts of people’s hearts.
Back then, did the plebeian Wang family not kill the late Emperor with a single hand?
She was afraid.
This formation was too shocking, and he was trembling from the bottom of his heart.
“I want to go in! I’m the eldest princess conferred by the emperor, let’s see who dares to stop me!”She suddenly pushed Xiao Baoshu away and was about to barge in.
“Eldest Princess.” Empress Xiao and the Prince of Yuzhang walked out one after the other.
“Eldest Princess and Fuma, please come in.”
Prince Jiang Xia raised his eyebrows. He was trying to protect himself from him.
“Your Majesty, Taiji Palace is acting as if it is facing a great enemy. Why is it that every tree and grass is alarmed? Shouldn’t you give us an explanation? We’re all surnamed Song, a family. Why do you have to hide it like this? Is there anything shameful?”
The King of Yuzhang,”Sister…” Her voice was already filled with sobs.
The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng felt her head buzz. She couldn’t believe it. She didn’t want to believe it. She wanted to tell the Prince of Yuzhang not to cry, but she could not say anything. She collapsed in Xiao Baoshu’s arms like a pile of mud.
King Jiang Xia’s expression changed. What exactly happened?”
“Where are you trying to hide it from us?!”
This family banquet was originally planned by the Emperor half a month ago on a whim. Anyone who was close to him or had some past ties with him was invited. They were as close as siblings, and as distant as the princess’s children and grandchildren who were married far away.
Everyone waited wave after wave. It was fine if the Emperor did not come, but the Empress came and left. Then, the King of Yuzhang, the King of Jiangxia, and the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng left and did not return. Everyone was nervous, so how could they still have the mood to feast? Moreover, the Emperor had not arrived yet, so who dared to start the banquet first? They kept taking desserts and tea.
The Eastern and Western Halls weren’t far apart. It was just a two-foot-long Bluestone Palace Road.
Those who were counted had all left, but they didn’t come back. The ones who were left behind were a little scared. They didn’t know what was going on, but they came to the West Hall in groups of two or three.
Zhong Liu stood up and followed him to take a look. Shi Ning County Master also hesitated to get up, but Princess Kang Le pulled him back and scolded him,””Don’t mess around, watch the bustle, sit down, and wait.”
Zhong Liu was a bystander. He was not afraid of things getting out of hand. Princess Kang Le could not stop him even if she wanted to. She took the lead and walked in front. She could not forcefully pull him back, so she could only circle her own daughter.
Seeing his mother-in-law’s attitude, Prince Consort Yang glanced at the Ning County Head who was looking at him. He shook his head almost imperceptibly and sat there without moving.
At this time, the princess of Jiang Xia had already led the way to the West Hall.
Although Prince Jiang Xia was old, he was full of energy. Even sitting in the East Hall, he could listen to 60 – 70% of the conversation, let alone General Yang, who had practiced martial arts since childhood. He listened very carefully.
He couldn’t help but shake his head, recalling what he had accidentally heard Xiao Jing ‘ai say in the woods of Waguan Temple.
“Mother, they’ve all gone. Aren’t we going to take a look?”Shi Ning County Master whispered.
Princess Kang Le shook her head, her expression extremely ugly.”If something big happens, we won’t be able to do anything and can’t talk. If nothing happens, are these people trying to force the abdication?”
When General Yang heard what his mother-in-law said, his impression of this Princess Kang Le, who had always been straightforward and barged around without knowing how to chat, changed slightly.
He was not brainless.
Little did he know that Princess Kang Le was so regretful that she shouldn’t have come.
She should have known that there would be no good meetings and banquets.
However, General Yang had been put in an important position recently and the Empress had the intention to promote him. As her mother-in-law, she was naturally happy to give the Empress face. How could she miss the banquet organized by the Empress? She would definitely be on the front line.
It was not that he had not seen Princess Nan Jun before. She looked very energetic, but she refused to come out because she was sick. She shut herself up in the Chu family and did not get involved in these rotten things in the palace. As expected, not only did Princess Nan Jun not come, but even the proud Prince Consort Chu, Chu Hujun, did not come…
This couple was extremely cunning. Could it be that they had heard some news earlier?
Princess Kang Le’s heart was in her throat. She was afraid that the scene of the plebeian Wang family would repeat again. She could not stand on any side and would end up being buried with the dead.
“Your Majesty!” King Jiang Xia shouted angrily,” I request an audience with Your Majesty!”His voice was full of energy, and when it reached the East Hall, Princess Kang Le’s expression changed again and again.
This time, the county head of Ning County could sense that something was wrong. She silently hugged her stomach. She had only been diagnosed yesterday, and she did not want to become cannon fodder for no reason.
“Mother, I’m scared.”
Princess Kang Le wanted to cry but had no tears.
I don’t think the weather is good…The rhythm to change…
It was a pity that she had finally managed to get to know Emperor Yong Ping and enter his eyes. He had taken good care of her family, but in the end, such a thing had happened.
Time was not on my side.
###
The situation was already out of control. With the precedent of the plebeian Wang family, the Emperor had yet to come out. The Imperial family members were all imagining the worst possible scenario that could happen or had already happened.
No matter how chaotic it was, this was still the Song family’s territory. They could not let a Xiao family with a foreign surname take charge!
The crowd surged into the West Hall, but the Emperor didn’t even make a sound in such a mess. It was most likely gone.
How could it be gone? It was not something that should be investigated. He could not let the Xiao clan take the initiative!
