BXBX NOVEL Chapter 702 - 702-Impact
Life was like knowing many things but not being able to do them.
Provincial Governor Xiao was Xiao Ning’s father and mother, and she was treated very well. The Emperor had originally ordered Provincial Governor Xiao to return to Jiankang because he wanted him to stay. Although they would not be able to see each other often in the future, it was better to be in the same place than to be far away.
When Empress Xiao heard the news of her pregnancy, the first thing she thought about was how happy her father would be if he knew.
In the end, Provincial Governor Xiao passed away before he even learned that he had a grandson.
Even though she knew that great joy and great sorrow were not beneficial to the fetus, how could Empress Xiao endure it? She grabbed Xiao Baoxin’s hand and burst into tears.
That kind of despairing and sorrowful emotion quickly swept through Xiao Baoxin’s entire body. It was like a powerful impact, and Xiao Baoxin’s entire person was not in a good state.
At this time, it was all thanks to Wang Shier’s mother. She was constantly paying attention to Xiao Baoxin’s situation. When she saw that her expression was not right, she immediately went forward to support her.
“Niangniang, my condolences!” Wang Shierniang said.
The other palace maids and eunuchs immediately knelt on the ground, and even the imperial physicians followed suit.
“Please take care of your phoenix body, take care of the royal heir.”
Xiao Baoxin knew that this couldn’t go on. Empress Xiao’s emotions were too strong, and she couldn’t take it anymore. She hurriedly pulled backher hand and knelt down with the crowd. Compared to kneeling with a big belly, she could not bear the empress’s emotions. The baby in her stomach probably couldn’t take it either. She could already feel the fetal movement. It was as if the river and sea were churning inside as it kicked her with all its might. Although she was called into the palace by the Emperor to appease the Empress, she really did not dare to do it again.
It took Empress Xiao a moment to regain her senses. Looking at the high curtains on the bed, she let out a long sigh.
“I know. The heir is the most important thing. I… Father is dead, I don’t even have the right to grieve.”
She wasn’t blaming anyone, but if she wanted to keep that piece of flesh on her body, she could only do as they said and not be overly sad. She had just heard the bad news, but she could already feel blood flowing out of her body.
” Sister-in-law.” The Empress lay on the bed and turned her head to look at Xiao Baoxin, who was kneeling on the ground.”Get up quickly. You have a body now, so you can’t be so polite. It’s hard for sister-in-law to be pregnant and still come to the palace to run around for my matters…I’m not feeling well right now. Sister-in-law, you and Ninth Sister-in-law go back to the residence first. When I’m better, I’ll invite Sister-in-law into the palace.”
She gently stretched out her hand, gesturing for Xiao Baoxin to hold it. Xiao Baoxin paused for a moment, then braced himself and grabbed it. On the surface, Empress Xiao had already controlled her emotions very well She could even imagine that Xiao Baoxin was also pregnant and could not bear the burden. She had made arrangements clearly. However, only Xiao Baoxin, who had truly held the Empress’s hand and sensed her inner emotions, knew that the Empress’s grief was not only not suppressed, it was even growing stronger.
“Sister-in-law, I won’t keep you any longer. Take care of yourself.” Xiao Baoxin gritted his teeth and agreed. The child in his stomach was agitated by the outside world and became more and more uneasy. Wang Shierniang could see with her naked eyes that Xiao Baoxin’s face had lost all color in an instant. It was extremely pale.
Until the Empress quickly let go of her hand, Wang Shier Niang rushed forward to support Xiao Baoxin’s slightly swaying body.
“Quick, let Madam Xiao take a look too.”Even now, Empress Xiao was still restraining herself and arranged for the imperial physician to take Xiao Baoxin’s pulse.
Niangniang, for the sake of the phoenix body, my condolences. “Xiao Baoxin didn’t know if it was because he was affected by the empress’s emotions, but he almost couldn’t breathe. There was an indescribable sadness, and his heart seemed to have been stabbed through by a sharp dagger.
The queen’s heart ached even more.
“I understand.” Empress Xiao smiled bitterly.” Quickly let the imperial physician take a look at you. Don’t hurt your body because of me. It will be even harder for me to absolve myself of the blame.””
Xiao Baoxin’s tears were about to spurt out. She knew that Empress Xiao’s concern at this moment wasn’t faked at all.
She nodded heavily.” Don’t worry, Empress.””
After that, she was brought to the side room by the head palace maid arranged by Empress Xiao. The imperial doctor took her pulse again and confirmed that there was no serious problem before letting her go.
Xiao Baoxin and Twelfth Madam Wang were walking out of the Jiaofang Palace when they met Emperor Yong Ping, who had rushed over after receiving the news that Empress Xiao had fainted.
It was August, and his face was covered in sweat. It was obvious that he was really anxious.
“Empress…How is it?” Emperor Yong Ping asked. He looked at Xiao Baoxin and was stunned. Why was his expression so ugly?
This was the first time that the word ‘ugly’ could be used on Xiao Baoxin, even though it was referring to his complexion.
“Isn’t it good?”
Xiao Baoxin shook his head.”
Emperor Yong Ping nodded. It was normal to be sad after his father died.
Thank you, Madam Xiao. You, you’re not doing well either?”
“It’s alright for a woman. Alright, she finally knew how ugly her expression was.
“The Empress is overly sad. I hope that the Emperor will be more tolerant more…Accompany the Empress.” Logically speaking, she had no reason or right to say such words, but she might have been immersed in the empress’s emotions and could not extricate herself for a moment. Even though she knew she should not say it, Xiao Baoxin still said it.
Emperor Yong Ping nodded and hurried into the Jiaofang Palace. That extra sentence wasn’t because he was taking care of Madam Xiao, but because he really couldn’t explain it to Xie Xian if something went wrong. He was even not surprised that if Xiao Baoxin injured his body because of this matter, Xie Xian would fight him to the death.
That fellow had lost his rationality when it came to Xiao Baoxin. He still knew that.
###
When the Xiao Baoxin duo left the Imperial Palace, Xie Xian was already waiting outside. This time, Xie Xian did not ride in the same ox-cart as Xiao Baoxin, but led the way in front.
Xiao Baoxin and Wang 12th were in the same car.
“Sister-in-law, are you okay?” Twelfth Madam Wang was worried. This time, she didn’t think that Xie Xian was making a mountain out of a molehill. The contrast was too stark. When she went out in the morning, her face was still rosy and radiant. Seeing that she was not doing well in the Jiaofang Palace, her entire face was as pale as a white dough.
Xiao Baoxin shook his head slightly.
“Thanks to you, I am now in the midst of my life. Perhaps, it was also influenced by the Empress ’emotions…It was not easy for her to get pregnant, but she had to encounter such a thing.”
Twelfth Aunt Wang thought even more. Xiao Baoxin knew the situation in Xu Prefecture and what was going on, but Twelfth Aunt Wang did not know.
Empress Xiao’s father was the provincial governor of Yizhou, and SikongXiao was also sent by the Emperor to Xuzhou as the provincial governor. Both of them were fighting outside. She thought that they might have more or less the same situation and touched Xiao Baoxin. Otherwise, it would be strange if his expression changed without any warning.
However, he couldn’t say this openly. It was taboo.
Sister-m-law, you must take good care of yourself when you return to the residence. Today, Sister-in-law doesn’t look too good.” ”
Xiao Baoxin smiled, his words were really tactful.
She saw the look in Xie Xian’s eyes when he looked at her and knew how ugly her expression was. If she had not shook her head at him, she would probably have exploded.
The two of them chatted in the car. Seeing that Xiao Baoxin’s expression was not good, Twelfth Aunt Wang only told her to close her eyes and did not disturb her. As a result, she was about to fall asleep when she returned to the Xie residence.
It was too tiring.
