Chapter 614: Chapter 614-Regretful

Translator: 549690339

Was Xiao Baoshu vain?

That must be it.

Moreover, even the most vain person would know what it meant to be welcomed by the emperor. That was the emperor’s declaration, his honor.

Xiao Baoshu wanted to kill himself in the rain. He regretted it so much.

Originally, he was rather unwilling to be called back by an imperial edict. He was just in the heat of the moment. After an hour, he would have to cross the mountains to the other side of the mountain to dig out the bandits ‘nest. This was the same as that customer who had excitedly paid the fee and told him that the Happy Red Brothel had fallen.

On the way back to Jiankang, there were many times when he saw injustice. Everyone said that being close to home was a feeling of timidity, but he was different. The closer he was to Jiankang City, the more homesick he was. Otherwise, he would not have been able to speed up his horse and rush through the rain. He was lucky that he did not fall to his death on the road.

In the end, his father told him that the emperor’s brother-in-law was going to personally welcome him into the city?!

The losses outweighed the gains.

When can I not look at my parents?

“Why don’t I go out of the city now?” Xiao Baoshu’s eyes lit up. He didn’t wait for Sikong Xiao to interrupt him.

“Stop fooling around. How could the city gate commandant not know that you entered the city in the heavy rain? Are you afraid that people haven’t said enough about our family?”Sikong Xiao was furious.” Can’t you just follow the rules?”!”

“If you behave yourself and follow the rules, then you won’t be our Baoshu.”Madam Xie hit the nail on the head.

Sikong Xiao, who almost choked to death, was speechless.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry. You must be tired and hungry after rushing all the way back. You must be drenched in the rain, right?”Other than the initial shock, Madam Xie immediately recovered.

This was the son she had been longing for.

No matter what Sikong Xiao said, her son-in-law was now a servant in the court. He held a high position and was the Emperor’s confidant. Sikong himself also had the merit of following the dragon. Even Xiao Baoshu had risked his life to fight for Emperor Yong Ping’s country. Why was it a ‘crime of deceiving the Emperor’ to return home two days early? Who was he fooling?

“Someone, quickly ask the kitchen to boil water and send it to Xiao Lang’s courtyard. And you guys, take a hot bath to get rid of the cold air.”

Madam Xie started to make arrangements and pushed Xiao Baoshu.””Don’t listen to your father’s nonsense. He’s just scaring you.”

“I wasn’t scared, I just… I thought that if I came back two days later, the emperor would come out of the city to pick me up.”Mrs. Xie pushed Xiao Baoshu to his own courtyard while muttering.

When she received the letter from Xiao Baoshu in the manor, she knew that her son was coming back. Madam Xie wished she could get the maid to clean up the house according to three meals a day.

There were all kinds of clothes and supplies, and even the weeds in the courtyard were cleaned up.

He could tell that his mother really missed her. Her eyes were so gentle that they could squeeze out water. It seemed that he had rarely seen his mother like this since he could remember. Most of them were furious. Otherwise, she would shout for her sister to beat him up.

Thinking of his sister, Xiao Baoshu opened the leather bag hanging on his waist and took out a dagger that was shining with a cold light.

“I even prepared a gift for my little nephew. I got this from my master in the army. I used it to kill more than ten enemies! I’ve seen blood!”

Madam Xie’s mouth twitched and her eyelids twitched.

Oh no, don’t be so angry that you’ll have a stroke like Xiao Lingyu.’Are you sure you can beat your sister now?”After asking, she left. As expected, the mother and son’s warmth lasted only half a cup of tea’s time.

This guy still had to be sent to the battlefield. In Sikong Xiao’s words, he was afraid that he would offend everyone in the court, and they would collectively strike!

He had to take care of his own son even if he had to kneel.

Sikong Xiao sent the news to the Xie residence and at the same time, he passed the news to the palace truthfully. He didn’t hide it from Emperor Yong Ping and told everyone how Xiao Baoxin had returned.

Fortunately, Xiao Baoshu was unreliable. This was something that everyone in Jiankang City knew.

Emperor Yong Ping did not blame him. This was his brother-in-law. It was his nature to be unreliable. He knew what to do.

What about the welcoming party? At most, he could just call them to the palace to hold a banquet in Taiji Palace. Who would be polite to their own family?

On the other hand, Xiao Baoxin was extremely excited when he received Sikong Xiao’s message to the Xie residence.””! knew this kid wouldn’t take the normal path!”

After spending the entire day in the harem, listening to Empress Xiao talk about suspecting this and suspecting that, Xiao Baoxin’s brain was almost turning into mush. It was nothing more than letting the Xie family make a move. Those Xie family members in the palace listened to her commands. If she really asked them to do things with their lives, they would probably not be able to be instructed.

Xiao Baoxin did not lie to Empress Xiao either. Xie Xian said that these people were for the Empress to use, so they were the Empress’s people. In the future, they would only listen to the Empress alone.

Of course, these words were just nice to say. In the palace, it was not like outside. With a contract of status, one had to listen to their master no matter what. In the palace, they were all servants of the Emperor. If she dared to use them, she had to believe the words of the Xie family.

From Xiao Baoxin’s point of view, the so-called ‘evidence’ that Empress Xiao found really couldn’t become evidence. It was specious, and no one would believe it even if they said it.

However, Empress Xiao didn’t want to bring him down just by relying on evidence.

After all, she was Emperor Yong Ping’s cheap cousin, and they had an innocent relationship.

Empress Xiao could tell that the longer Emperor Yong Ping dragged on, the more he seemed to be trying to turn the big issue into a small one. It was obvious that they were no longer focusing on the harem, but on the aristocratic families.

Compared to a few beautiful concubines, he believed more that the evil aristocratic families were behind this.

It had not been long since she entered the palace. Empress Xiao did not want to show her sharp claws now. It was too ostentatious.

Therefore, he wanted to borrow Xie Xian’s power to transfer Provincial Governor Xiao and the Empress’s father to Jiankang City. He also had a few older brothers to take care of. It was unknown whether the Emperor had not thought of this or did not want the power of the Empress to be too great and had deliberately suppressed it.

After the Celestial Empress ‘wedding, she had only given the Xiao clan some titles, but there were no substantial benefits.

She could tell that it was not the time for the emperor to need the power of Lan Ling’s Xiao family before he ascended the throne, to use her and the Xie family to form a line to resist the deposed Crown Prince.

The Emperor was still afraid that the Xiao and Xie Families would form an alliance.

If it was in the past, Empress Xiao would have been confident that she would have waited. If she had a son, or if the emperor had seen her for a long time, he would have cared about her sincerely. Behind her was the Xiao family. It was impossible for them to abandon the Emperor and go to the Xie family.

However, the heir in her womb had been secretly aborted, and this incident made her see clearly…

He could only rely on himself and his family.

The emperor was reliable, and the sow would climb the tree. What bullsh * t was this about time seeing a person’s heart, and after a long time, they could only hate each other.

Whatever Empress Xiao said, Xiao Baoxin would agree. Xie Xian had informed her long ago, so he had an idea in his heart.

She had only dealt with it in the palace for a day, and even had lunch with the Emperor at noon. Her entire mind was muddled. The empress was clearly distracted and was on guard against each other. However, they were respectful to each other during the banquet and looked like they were melodious.

Even Xiao Baoxin felt tired for them!
