As the saying goes, good things don’t go out, but bad things travel thousands of miles.

Moreover, something like this had happened to the future princess consort of Xin ‘an King. Someone had died, and the news had spread throughout Jiankang City as if it had legs. Who could not see the intention behind Emperor Yu Heng’s arrangement of these two marriages?

However, Xu Liuniang committed suicide at this time…

It was enough to affect the future changes in the court.

No one understood this more than the Xin ‘an King, and he was more anxious.

This was the second time the princeling had attacked him after poisoning her mother. He had pointed his sword at him. His methods were extremely despicable.

“.. Xu Liu Niangzi hanged herself, does the constant attendant know?”When Xin An King saw Xie Xian, he could not help but feel anxious. The Emperor’s imperial edict to bestow marriage was still in the drafting stage. He would wait for two days before deciding on another day to issue the edict.

Who knew that this matter would spread out today, undoubtedly adding to the already disadvantageous situation.

Xie Xian nodded. “Sixth King, please calm down.”

He slowly sat down.” I just came back from the Xiao Manor. After Sikong Xiao found out…” He broke Xiao Baoshu’s legs.”

“All?” The Xin ‘an King turned pale with fright.” What’s the point?”

“Sikong Xiao was so angry that he looked for a bone doctor. Sikong Xiao and I went to the Xu family, but we didn’t see anyone. Later on, Xiao Baoshu suddenly had a high fever and his condition was very critical. I went to the Wei family and invited Old Imperial Physician Wei over. Only then did Xiao Baoshu’s condition stabilize…”

“The Wangs are just-too despicable.”Xin ‘an King smashed his fist on the table, hating himself for being too weak and could only passively take the beating.

Xie Xian narrowed his eyes.” The battle for the throne is related to the rise and fall of the clan.”

Xin ‘an Prince gritted his teeth. He was not as many as the Crown Prince’s subordinate officials in the Eastern Palace. Which of his trusted aides did not use all their strength to follow the dragon?

Now, his father was bent on helping him ascend the throne, but he could not ignore the rules of the court and set up subordinate officials around him. He was only relying on his father’s favor. He had nothing else and was fighting alone.

To put it bluntly, he was being beaten up passively.

“Please save me!” Prince Xin ‘an suddenly knelt down on both knees and knelt in front of Xie Xian with a thud. He cupped his fists and shouted for help.

Xie Xian did not expect Xin An Prince to give him such a blow. He hurriedly stood up from behind the table and helped Xin An Prince up.”Why do you need to do this, Sixth King? I’m too close.”

Prince Xin ‘an smiled bitterly.” Father has always relied heavily on Chang Shi and regarded him as his trusted nephew. Father had once told Little Wang that Chang Shi was a talent that could govern the world. In the future…Imperial Father has been around for a hundred years, and the constant attendants are the subordinates that Imperial Father left for Little Wang…”

“It’s just that the Crown Prince is aggressive and ruthless. He will do anything to achieve his goal.”

“They killed all the gods and buddhas they met. First, they killed my mother. Then, they did not even let off Xu Liuniang and Xiao Xiaolang. They are clearly crazy. They even dared to disobey their Imperial Father’s orders, so how could they put Little Wang in their eyes?”

“Most of the noble families in the court chose the Crown Prince, while the poor families chose to protect themselves. Only Minister Xu and Sikong Xiao, whom Father favored, supported Little Wang, but now some are dead or injured.”

“Xiao Wang can only ask for help from Chang Shi…”

Xiao Baoxin had been tormenting the world for a long time. His body was fine, but his mind was exhausted. He let Cai Wei heat herself up and take a bath. She thought that Xie Xian would not be able to come back after he left. In the end, when she finished washing up and changed into a long robe, he was already back. He even ordered the servants to put the food in the bedroom.

“You’ve been tired for a day. Come and eat quickly. “Xie Xian waved at her with a smile on his face.

Xiao Baoxin slowly walked to his side and sat down. There were six dishes and two soups on the table. There were cold dishes and hot dishes. It could be said that it was beautiful, fragrant, and delicious. The greedy insects on his body were immediately hooked.

“Xin ‘an King is leaving just like that?” she asked. “He came…Is it because of Sixth Lady Xu?”

“What else?”

“No one is more anxious than him. However, he did not come for Xu Liu Niangzi…”

“Then why?” Xiao Baoxin blurted out.

“It’s me.” Xie Xian smiled faintly and gently lifted his chopsticks to pick up a roasted jumping pill and put it into Xiao Baoxin’s bowl. “Eat first. This matter is not urgent. Let’s talk about it later. If you want to know something, tell me everything you know.”

Jumping Ball Roast was to cut the mutton and pork into shreds, add ginger, orange peel, Tibetan melon, and pound the white onion into the size of a pellet. In addition, five catties of mutton should be used to make meat soup, and then add the ball roast to cook into meatballs. The taste was fresh and fragrant but not greasy.

This dish was considered a very common dish among the Daliang nobles. Xiao Baoxin often ate it at home, but the chef in the Xie Family’s kitchen was very skilled. It was soft and tender in his mouth, and his standard was much higher.

As expected, the family of Zhong Ming and Ding Fu paid attention to all aspects.

When Xiao Baoxin married into the Xie family, what she felt the most was the food. It was exquisite to the extreme and exquisite to the extreme. It completely satisfied her appetite.

No one spoke during the entire meal. Xie Xian was out of habit, while Xiao Baoxin was completely immersed in the delicious food.

After finishing the meal, Xie Xian ordered the servants to remove the dishes and pulled Xiao Baoxin to the couch to rest. The storm outside had already stopped, and there was only the sound of rain pattering on the ground along the eaves. Not far away, there was the sound of drums beating.

“Xin ‘an King wants to pull you into the team?” Xiao Baoxin pondered.” But aren’t you guys on the same side?”

Xie Xian smiled.” There’s a lot to talk about here. The Xin ‘an King and 1 are on the same side because of the Emperor. And what he wanted was for me to be of use to him.”

“To put it simply, he wants me to give him advice and play the role of his advisor.”

This was a big deal. In the past, he had given advice to the emperor, and the one who benefited was also the Xin ‘an King, but that was a benefit that was roundabout. If he submitted to the Xin ‘an King, it would actually be helping him to scheme against the Emperor. The one who would benefit would still be the Xin’ an King. It was simple and direct.

“You agree?” Xiao Baoxin couldn’t figure out Xie Xian.

Even if she knew all his plans, she still could not guess what he would do. It was unpredictable.

Xie Xian shrugged.” There’s no reason to disagree.”

In fact, he just didn’t say no. However, he believed that the Prince of Xin ‘an was no longer the ambitious and immature prince from before. Fie was now calm, meticulous, and shrewd.

Compared to the Crown Prince, Xin ‘an King was more like Emperor Yuheng. His methods were smooth and smooth, but his schemes were extremely deep.

“Regardless of whether we ally with Xin ‘an King or not, in the eyes of the Crown Prince and the Wang Clan, we are already on the same boat as Xin’ an King. In the end, if the Crown Prince ascended the throne, he would inevitably be punished. In that case, wouldn’t King Xin ‘an’s goodwill come at the right time?”

As expected, he told her everything he knew, even his plans and schemes..
