Chapter 825: Chapter 825-Missing a Move

Not to mention, Prince Huaiyang had attempted to assassinate the emperor in the Taiji Palace. That knife had stabbed the Emperor’s shoulder in front of everyone. Although the emperor’s thick clothes had blocked it and his body was not injured, his killing intent was real.

He was definitely going to die, but how he died and how badly he died was a problem.

“PH handle mother’s funeral.”Xie Xian’s tone was cold.

To think that he boasted of his superior intelligence and strategizing.

Everything was within his calculations.

Why didn’t he think that the Prince of Huaiyang would go crazy and take the risk to commit murder in the palace?

“It’s not your fault, Ah Lang. You’re not omniscient and omnipotent.”Mother Xie only grabbed Xie Xian’s hand after everyone had retreated. She cried,”You don’t have the ability to know that Prince Huaiyang has such a vicious plan.” “Who would have thought that he would do such a vicious thing in the palace? To put it bluntly, with such methods, anyone would have targeted the Celestial Empress. Wasn’t it a little too much to use a sledgehammer to kill the family members of the courtiers?

It was too dangerous, too exciting, and the effort was not even proportional to

the rewards.

From this perspective, one could see the power of the Xie and Xiao Clans of the

Imperial Court.

The Xie family could guard against the outside of the palace. At any banquet or even going out, they would at most bring more attendants. Could they still guard against the palace?

In the Imperial Palace, there were not even many maids.

Even if you had a lot of hands and eyes, you would still be under the heavy protection of the royal family once you entered the palace.

“.. In the end, your grandson is still lacking in chess.” Xie Xian said in a low

voice.

” This is fate.” Mother Xie shook her head.” It’s impossible to guard against. If it were anyone else, they would have to wait for death. So what if it was the late emperor’ Who doesn’t sing praises of virtue, write articles and achieve military virtue, and become a wise monarch? Even the guards in the palace were under the control of the late emperor, but the Wang family still found an opportunity to kill them in one strike.”

“Can you say that the late emperor was a bit weaker than the Wang family and that his intelligence was no match for them?

“There are those who are thieves for a thousand days, but there are those who are not thieves for a thousand days.”

“Good people are always a little worse than evil people. Because good people had a bottom line, while evil people hid in the dark and waited for opportunities to hurt people. They had no bottom line, and no one could catch up to their evi footsteps. Xuanhui, the fault lies with the King of Huaiyang, not you.” “Grandmother understands your pain, but she doesn’t agree with your self-

blame.”

“This is not your responsibility.” Xie Xian’s mother tightly held Xie Xian’s hand.” The one who died today was your mother. In her entire life, other than your father, the person she cared about the most was you. If it was her, she definitely wouldn’t allow you to think like this.”

“If the one who died today was me, I would definitely not allow you to think

like this!”

“Your mother is dead, but you still have to carry the entire Xie family. There was also Bao Xin, Ah Yan, Ah Qi, and even the unborn child in Bao Xin’s stomach. And Seventh Madame, this old woman…”

“Grandmother.” Xie Xian suddenly knelt down in front of Mother Xie with a thud and kowtowed to the ground.

In front of his loved ones, he no longer hid his suppressed sobs in the Imperial Palace. He bent over on the ground and cried bitterly.

The grandfather and grandson sat down and knelt down, crying at each other. This made the maids guarding outside the room involuntarily wipe their tears. They had never seen Xie Xian cry like this, nor had they seen the old lady cry like this.

The entire Xie family was shrouded in grief. On the same day, under Madam Wang’s leadership, they sent letters of condolences to the various aristocratic families. The young ladies of the Xie family who had married also rushed back.

Xie Xian had changed into mourning clothes. When Xiao Baoxin saw him, his eyes were already swollen like steamed buns.

Xie Wan and Xie Xian hugged each other and cried for a while, which made Xiao Baoxin very uncomfortable. The sorrow that permeated the Xie family was overwhelming in her body. It rampaged around her, causing the fetus in her stomach to be very uneasy. In just four hours, she had already fainted twice.

“Go to the mourning hall.” Xie Xian instructed Xie Wan,”Go and change into mourning clothes first.” ”

“Sister-in-law…It’s not safe. Brother, you should pay more attention.”Xie Wan instructed softly.

No one knew better than Xie Xian how much damage this situation had done to

Xiao Baoxin.

Once she got pregnant, her perception of the outside world would increase several times.

Therefore, he didn’t even dare to touch her or get close to her.

“Don’t go to the mourning hall. You can’t stand it there.”He said softly,”Grandmother said that you should take good care of your fetus. Don’t…” If the Xie family gets hurt again.”

“How can I not go?” Xiao Baoxin suppressed his grief and said.”

But she couldn’t even get close to him.

She had never hated the innate skill that the heavens had given her so much. When he was at his saddest, she couldn’t even comfort him. She touched his head and gently hugged him in her arms. She couldn’t even do that.

Nothing can happen to you again.” Xie Xian’s eyes were moist, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly. “Otherwise, I will die.” These words were undoubtedly a heavy blow to Xiao Baoxin¹ s heart.

“Husband…” Xiao Baoxin could not help but cry.

What answered her was not Xie Xian’s hug, but his back view as he turned around and left.

The door creaked shut.

Xie Xian leaned against the door. After a long time, he said,”Take care of your body. Don’t get hurt.”

Cai Wei was tightly biting her lips at the side as she cried her eyes out.

Her husband was too strong and loved her too much.

Sob, sob, sob, this damned Prince of Huaiyang was too wicked. He was courting death, so he just found a place where there was no one to end it. He even dragged such a good Madam Yuan along, making her wife, Master Lang, and the entire family so sad.

Wicked, too wicked!

The news of Lady Yuan’ s death quickly spread throughout Jiankang City. Even without the Xie family’s help, the courtiers had already submitted memorials asking Emperor Yong Ping to punish Prince Huaiyang. In particular, the King of Huaiyang had attempted to assassinate the Emperor and kill Emperor Yong Ping, which was a serious crime of treason. And his sins are unforgivable.

Xie Xian himself had submitted a memorial of several thousand words, requesting for the King of Huaiyang to be punished. This trend could not be allowed to continue, or else the courtiers and family members would all be in danger when they entered the palace. No one knew when they would die an unnatural death.

Therefore, regarding the crimes of the King of Huaiyang, there was basically a rare unanimous opinion from the emperor to the courtiers.

Death was certain, but how?

At this moment, Emperor Yong Ping’s iron-fisted power could be seen. All the children of the Prince of Huaiyang, including the one-year-old babies, the concubines who were still pregnant, and the servants of the Prince’s residence, were all killed.

Other than the Princess Consort of Huaiyang, who put righteousness above family, none of her children were spared.

Xiao Jing ‘ai didn’t even dare to plead for mercy.

Of course, she would not be able to see Emperor Yong Ping.

The emperor’s legitimate son died, the emperor was extremely busy, and the empress fell ill again due to excessive grief. Other than reporting the King of Huaiyang, smashing a huge vase, and receiving Emperor Yong Ping’s sentence of ‘meritorious service in saving the emperor,’ there was no other substantial reward.

Of course, Xiao Jing ‘ai heaved a sigh of relief that she and Prince Huaiyang were not executed together.

At least he had gotten rid of King Huaiyang.

No matter what, saving the emperor would not be without her benefits. After all, it was not for her, but for others to see. The emperor would not ignore it.
