Chapter 180 - 18o: Chapter 180 Bad Debts
To Xiao Baoshu, it was the greatest happiness in his life. Moreover, it should be an easy task.
But in Xiao Baoxin’s eyes, it was much harder.
After all, chaotic times were approaching.
And it seemed that the timeline had been pushed forward.
No one could refuse Emperor Yu Heng’s request in grief, so the Xiao family could only agree.
If Xiao Baoshu did not object, Xiao Baoxin would actually be happy to see it happen. After all, Princess Xuancheng was warm, cheerful, innocent, and cute. If Noble Consort Liu died, she would be a motherless child. Even if she had the Emperor’s father to protect her in the palace, it would probably be more difficult than before for Noble Consort Liu.
Thinking back to the day of Noble Consort Liu’s death, Princess Xuancheng was still innocent and cute, and she was focused on finding out what her little brother looked like. However, in the blink of an eye, the whole world had changed.
According to Xiao Jing ‘ai, Emperor Yuheng died two years after Imperial Consort Liu.
However, Noble Consort Liu’s death had already deviated from the track of her previous life. Now, no one could be sure what the future would be like.
Xiao Baoxin secretly felt that Liu Guifei’s death was not simple. It did not seem to be an accident as it appeared.
The bakery that poisoned Noble Consort Liu was arrested from head to toe, including the owner and the shopkeeper. In just a few days, the furious Emperor Yu Heng had executed them all. Even if she wanted to investigate in secret, she had no way to start.
After all, Noble Consort Liu had lived for another two years in her previous life before she died, and the cause of death was not poisoning in this life.
Even if Xiao Jing ‘ai did not pay attention to the outside world and had low political awareness, if Noble Consort Liu was poisoned to death, Emperor Yu Heng would naturally not bury the matter quietly.
However, Xiao Jing ‘ai had not heard anything strange about Liu Guifei’s death. She only knew that Emperor Yuheng was still as sad as he was now, and even made the concubines in the palace cry. She was extremely envious of this kind of undying love…
Bah.
If this was a love that would last until death, Xiao Baoxin would rather not have it.
Being unfilial when alive and screaming when dead, this was the same situation as those unfilial sons who claimed to be filial sons and grandchildren. When he was alive, he had many concubines. Everyone knew that Emperor Yu Heng had as many concubines as dogs. If he doted on you, he would dote on you to the heavens. If he didn’t dote on you, he would turn around and say, who are you? Get lost.
People only knew how to cherish things when they were dead. What was the use of crying every day and night? If they didn’t cherish things when they were alive, they would only be watched by the living when they were dead.
Xiao Jing ‘ai was envious and jealous of Noble Consort Liu’s high status and the love she received from someone even more powerful.
She was just a hot dream. Even in her dreams, she wanted to be the upgraded version of Noble Consort Liu.
He lived a long life and was the first wife.
To put it bluntly, what she wanted was the position of Empress Wang, the favor of Noble Consort Liu, and Empress Dowager Pan’s life that was even longer than Empress Dowager Pan’s.
Everything in the world should be hers.
Xiao Jing ‘ai’s rebirth had changed a lot. She, Yang Shao, and Xie Xian were completely different from her previous life.
Then, could it be that Xiao Jing ‘ai was also responsible for Liu Guifei’s death? Could it be that Xiao Jing’ ai, the culprit, had also caused her death today?
At least, in her previous life, she did not quarrel with Princess Anji because of Xie Xian in the Xu residence, and the Empress Dowager and Eldest Princess did not fall out, so this time, the climb to the Waguan Temple did not exist.
She had left Jiankang early, so she did not have a good relationship with Princess Xuancheng. She then entered the eyes of Imperial Concubine Liu and wanted to marry into the Xiao family. After failing, she had another plan, picking Xiao Baoshu from her. She believed that with Noble Consort Liu’s boobs, which were bigger than her brain, it was impossible for her little scheme to hide from the Emperor.
With anyone.
If Noble Consort Liu and the Xiao family were to be married, the ones who were most unwilling to see this scene were naturally the Crown Prince and Empress Wang.
And with Xin ‘an King’s character, he might have been noticed by others for bringing food to Noble Consort Liu from time to time, but he was just taking advantage of the opportunity to act.
It was fine to say that she was a conspiracy theory, but if she were to reverse the situation, this was the most likely possibility.
After all, putting in the arsenic-like powder by mistake was too man-made. What kind of brain did the waiter have to go to the shopkeeper’s room to find the arsenic-like powder and then make it into a pancake?
If such a thing had happened in her previous life, Xiao Jing ‘ai would have heard about it even if she was in the mansion.
Xiao Baoxin told Sikong Xiao his speculation, but Sikong Xiao just shook his head.
There was nothing he could do. All the suspects were dead. Putting aside the fact that he couldn’t find anything, how could he go to Emperor Yuheng and say without evidence that Imperial Consort Liu was most likely the victim of Empress Wang and the Crown Prince’s assassination to protect the Crown Prince’s position?
In Sikong Xiao’s opinion, Emperor Yuheng had favored King Xin ‘an for more than a year or two. He had been like this since he was born, and he was even more favored than the Crown Prince. As early as the age of five, he was conferred the title of King Xin’ an, the governor of North and South Xuzhou, and the prefect of South Langya. The Emperor treated him like a pearl and a treasure. On the other hand, the Crown Prince might have been reprimanded every two or three days because the Emperor had high standards and strict requirements for the Crown Prince. This also caused the Crown Prince and Xin ‘an King to be at odds since they were young.
The empress was born in the Wang family of Langya and had always been a noble family. She was generous and benevolent. If she killed people because Liu Guifei and Xin ‘an King were increasingly favored…Was the situation really that serious?
The answer was naturally unknown.
Sikong Xiao had always been brave in battle, but when it came to the political situation, he was really not the right person. The father and daughter studied for half a day and still could not find a solution.
“In any case, we can’t let the Crown Prince ascend the throne.”Sikong Xiao pulled his hair. “The emperor also doesn’t want to see Xin ‘an wang, now the ministers don’t understand the situation.”
“If there’s anyone who can compete with the Crown Prince, it’s Xin ‘an Prince.”
“But Noble Consort Liu is dead.” Sikong Xiao sighed.” Now it’s up to Xie Xian. He and we are on the same boat. We have to make him have the same heart as us.” However, Second Xie was obviously on the Crown Prince’s side.”
“From the looks of it now, the Xie family is also a rotten account.”
Xiao Baoxin agreed.
She didn’t know which side the Xie family stood on in her previous life, but it wasn’t just the Xiao family who was unlucky when the Crown Prince ascended the throne. Xie Xian was also imprisoned not long after. It would be fine if the Xie family didn’t stand on the Crown Prince’s side, but if the Xie family had already chosen a side and was still lulled by the Crown Prince, then they would be an existence even more miserable than their family.
He made up his mind to have a deep conversation with Xie Xian when he met him again. They should be thinking in the same direction and putting in the same effort.
Who knew that before she could meet Xie Xian, she would receive Xie Xian’s congratulatory gifts the next day. After that, she would receive a set every day, either a hairpin or a bracelet. There was gold and jade in all of them. This lasted for a total of seventeen days, and there were seventeen sets in total.
It was as if she had made up for her birthday every year since she was born.
Xiao Baoxin laughed so hard that tears were about to come out. It was pure beauty, and he was even touched. This guy who said one thing and meant another, once he made up his mind, he would actually be able to tease the little lady’s heart.
She couldn’t wait to see him..
