Translator: 549690339
As for the legitimate daughter of the third branch of the Chu family. Imperial Consort Chu, who was sent into the palace by the Chu family, Chu Lingzt and the two of them did not like each other. Basically, the two of them did not interact after Imperial Consort Chu entered the palace.
“From what I see, it seems like Empress Xiao really did it.”Chu Lingzi
concluded.
Xiao Baoxin sighed.
“No one can be sure who it is. After all, there is no evidence. Everything is just speculation or inference. I just… Just as you thought, people change after entering the palace. At the very least, I think Empress Xiao has every reason to act. But if you want me to produce evidence, I definitely don’t have any.
“We’re pregnant, so it’s better not to get involved in all the trouble in the palace. Who knows when we’ll get involved? It’s fine if we hurt ourselves, but if we hurt our stomachs, it’s not worth it.”
“So, you didn’t see me? Xuanhui locked me up in the residence as soon as I was pregnant, afraid that I would cause trouble on impulse.”
“This time, if it wasn’t for the grand wedding of the eldest princess of Xuancheng, and if it wasn’t for my brother, I definitely wouldn’t have entered the palace. The palace is too chaotic. Listen to me. It’s better to take care of the fetus. Don’t get involved in the palace’s matters.’
Although he didn’t say it to Chu Lingzi, Xiao Baoxin had said everything he could.
That was all she could say.
Indeed, Empress Xiao did not have any evidence. If there was evidence, wouldn’t the Emperor directly deal with Empress Xiao?
“Don’t go around talking about this matter with your mouth wide open. If the Empress or the Emperor were to find fault with something without evidence, you…What should he do? If I catch you and scold you, it’s not enough to embarrass you. You don’t have any evidence.”
Chu Lingzi nodded as she listened.
“As expected, the person who stays close to vermilion is red, and the person who stays close to ink is black. After marrying Xie Pushe, our eldest lady, with her eloquence, her IQhas also risen sharply. Don’t worry, I’ll just… And Seventh Madame…There’s also Aunt Fifteen, Aunt Zu Four, and…” She was counting
with her fingers.
Xiao Baoxin could finally tell that he had not poured his heart and lungs out and poured everything Xie Xian had told her to Chu Lingzi. This person was really a blabbermouth.
Of course, he was talking about the people that Chu Lingzi trusted and had good relations with.
The problem was that there was another group of people whom she trusted to be on good terms with, and another group of people who she trusted to be on good terms with…Therefore, gossip was spreading everywhere. When they said it, a few of them wanted to spread the rumors to others. The problem was that one spread it to another, and it spread.
“Anyway, be careful. Don’t tell anyone about this.”
“Whether it’s what I said before or what I said, you know what you’re doing.”Xiao Baoxin reminded.
Even though he knew that it would be useless to say it, he still did his duty.
What if he really listened to his advice?
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone what you’ve told me.
“Even Seventh Madame can’t say it?” she asked.
Xiao Baoxin took a deep breath. Alright, she had returned safely from Empress Xiao’s side. She was afraid that she would be angered to the core by Chu Lingzi in the Xie Manor.
“Sure.”
Fifteen Niang…Chu Lingzi didn’t ask, but Xiao Baoxin was already on the verge
of going berserk.
She was a pregnant woman herself and knew that pregnant women were emotionally unstable. Of course, she was unstable because she was happy and sad at times. Who knew what would happen to Xiao Baoxin? What if he became more irritable at times? What should she do?
She was pregnant, so she couldn’t really get beaten up.
“Alright, then you take good care of her. I’ll go talk to Aunt Fifteen for a while. I haven’t seen her for a long time, and I miss her.”Before Chu Lingzi left, she added,”Don’t worry. I won’t say anything that I shouldn t.
Xiao Baoxin,”! believe you!”
Throw!
It’s up to you to say it or not!

“Recently, I have heard quite a few rumors about the Palace. Quite a lot of them are unfavorable to the Empress. Of course, I don’t believe in evil, but some people should be killed.”
At the same time, Yang shi and Empress Xiao also talked about the rumors outside the palace.
Naturally, she would not be as straightforward as Chu Lingzi.
At the venue of the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng, Empress Xiao and the Jiangxia Princess Consort, Lady Yang, started chatting.
“The Empress is kind, but there are some things that must be dealt with by lightning.” “We’re from prestigious families, and we’ve all married into the royal family. Our status is there.””
“But now…I’m not saying some unpleasant things about the Xie family in front of the Empress, but the Xie family is truly the only one that is powerful. They have their hands in the court and cover the sky. In the Inner Palace, I don’t think they respect the Empress much.”
“Although the Empress is related to the Xie family when she marries, once she enters the palace and becomes the Empress, her status has to be distinguished.”
“Eldest Lady Xiao, aren’t you being too arrogant? It’s because the Empress is kind that the Empress can endure it, it’s not something that should be done.”
“Lady Xiao has always been like this.” Empress Xiao smiled.
These words revealed his attitude.
When Yang shi heard this, she smiled.
“You’re right. Her father is Sikong, the Changsheng General of Daliang. One of her brothers is the governor of Jiangzhou, and the other brother is married to the Eldest Princess. Lady Xiao is also married into the Xie family, the head of the aristocratic families.”
“On the other hand, our royal family has been completely dominated by the
Xie, Chu, and Xi aristocratic families.”
“When did the harem become so chaotic? I’m going to be poked into a sieve.” Madam Yang said in a low voice,” I don’tbelieve in the gossip about the Empress outside. To put it bluntly, the Empress came from the Xie family when she got married. The country’s husband is now…” Who could the Empress rely on in the Palace?”
” It is not the Empress who has such a great power.
“The Princess Consort understands me.” Empress Xiao smiled bitterly.
King Jiangxia was Emperor Yongping’s great-uncle according to seniority, and Empress Xiao called him great-aunt. But Yang shi was too young, only twentyseven years old. Her round face also appeared young, so Empress Xiao did not seriously try to climb up the social ladder. She really could not bring herself to call her that.
“If I really had such power, would I have been aborted without knowing it? The Emperor also believes in me. Unfortunately, everyone’s words are useless. The Chu family, the He family, and even the Qi family are all powerful. No matter who says something about me, I can’t defend myself.
“The Fifth King and I naturally believe in the Empress. Otherwise, even if the Empress married from the Xie family, I would not have said this, how can a distant relative be separated? We believe that the Empress is innocent and has been used as a weapon, so we can’t help but say something fair.
“Niangniang, the chaos of war has been pacified, the Xie and Xiao families can no longer dominate.”
“Although the Song and Liang royal families have experienced many rebellions and many brothers have killed each other, there are still loyal royal families who are willing to serve the Emperor and protect the peace of the Liang Dynasty. Today, behind the Five Great Kings ‘back, I give Your Majesty a piece of advice. I hope that the Emperor will do more for the Song and Liang Dynasties and not trust Xie Xiao alone.
“Whether it’s the Five Great Kings, the Huaiyang King, or the other Great Kings, we’re all family after all. We’re more trustworthy than outsiders.” “As the saying goes, if you recommend a virtuous person, you won’t avoid your relatives. My family is the Yang family of Mount Tai, and the Empress’s family is the Xiao family of Lanling.”Yang shi looked into Empress Xiao’s eyes and said.
