Chapter 423: Chapter 423-Wearing a False Crown
Translator: 549690339 j
The people in the room did not know what to say.
They might have long hair and short knowledge, but they couldn’t even think of what kind of secret matter Xiao Baoxin had to discuss with her when he stayed in the residence all day long. He missed his wife, and he even found such a high-class excuse.
Didn’t this also prove that the Imperial Court still had victory in their hands when the King of Guiyang attacked Jiankang City?
Otherwise, why would he care so much and still have the time and mood to go back to the residence to see his wife?
Mother Xie actually had the same thoughts. She couldn’t blame anyone else. Xie Xian usually had such an image. He treated Xiao Baoxin’s matter as a big deal.
No one doubted that once Xiao Baoxin and the Emperor were in a hurry, he would definitely choose Xiao Baoxin over the Emperor.
After all, whether he loved his wife or feared her, it was something that could not be hidden in his bones. Moreover, he did not want to hide it.
However, since her own grandson had said so, what if it was related to Sikong Xiao? It was not impossible for it to be confidential. Mother Xie took it as if she had really heard it.
“Then go quickly. Don’t delay your business.
After Xie Xian received the words, he apologized to the elders present and returned to Rong An Hall with Xiao Baoxin. Along the way, she held onto Xiao Baoxin’s hand and did not let go.
It had only been two days since they last saw each other, but it was as if they had not seen each other for two years. When they saw each other, they were reluctant to let go.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Is there any news about the Prince of Guiyang attacking Jiankang?”
After closing the door, Xie Xian went straight to the point.
As soon as he stepped into the manor, the butler confessed to him. Xiao Baoxin secretly asked the servants to prepare a carriage and went to the Xiao family’s second wife’s in-law’s house.
What use was Xiao Jing ‘ai? He was just a person who had been reborn and knew about his previous life. It was a very simple deduction. For Xiao Baoxin to send someone to pass a message to the palace, something that had never happened before, it must be extremely important to the current court situation.
Xiao Baoxin nodded. There was still a ‘zhen’ in her stomach. She did not want to be watched by others, so she obediently retreated to the side. Otherwise, when facing Xie Xian, she would have long buried her head into his embrace.
“I thought that it would be better if she knew something.”
Xiao Baoxin told Xie Xian half-truths and half-lies mixed with the memories of ‘Zhen’s’ previous life,”Coincidentally, in my previous life, the eldest son of the He family was the same as in this life. He was a commandant of the cavalry. Everyone in the He family knew about this matter. Xiao Jing ‘ai heard his mother talking about it all day and remembered it.”
“In my previous life, the news of the rebellion of the King of Guiyang and his army heading south reached Jiankang in less than three days.”
“She remembered that the first place the King of Guiyang attacked was Xinting. General Xue Mu led the army to resist the rebel army by boat. In the end, there was no victory. The King of Guiyang abandoned his boat and disembarked at Xinlin. He divided his troops into two groups to attack Taicheng and Xinting.” “Xue Mu resisted the rebel army at Xinting, but the rebel army broke through at Stone City. They took advantage of the victory to cross the Qinhuai River and attacked Jiankang from the Vermilion Bird Gate, all the way to Gongnan Ye
Gate.”
“Many generals died in the chaos. Stone City was defeated one after another and surrendered…Countless people died.”
Xiao Baoxin told Xie Xian everything he had heard about the history from Zhen.
Until she finished speaking, Xie Xian’s expression was heavy and he didn’t say
a word.
In fact, it was almost the same as their deduction of the King of Guiyang attacking Jiankang.
It could be imagined that this statement was quite credible.
The only difference was that the loyal and brave Great General Xue Mu was no longer around. In his previous life, the key to the Central Army’s victory was Xue Mu returning to help Jiankang and driving the rebel army out of the city.
The idea of Xiao Baoxin testing Xiao Jing ‘ai had never appeared in Xie Xian’s mind.
Xiao Jing ‘ai was a person who didn’t care about anything else. All she cared about was her own small profits. He didn’t expect Xiao Jing’ ai to know so much about the Battle of the City.
“Alright, I got it.” Xie Xian stood up. “Nora, what you said is very important.” “But now that the military situation is urgent, I can’t delay any longer. I’ll go to the palace first.”
“Alright.” Xiao Baoxin got up and didn’t show any embarrassment. “You, take care.”
Xie Xian turned around and glanced at her, but he couldn’t hold it in. “But what you did this time was too reckless. I don’t think it was right. If you want to get information from Second Lady Xiao, send someone to her residence to get it.” It was a time of chaos, and Jiankang City was no longer prosperous. Although the governor of Danyang and the magistrate of Jiankang had been replaced a while ago, and the looting in the city had decreased slightly, the news that the King of Guiyang was going to attack Jiankang had spread. In less than three days, there had been many robberies, and two of them had even killed people.
It was true that Xiao Baoxin was skilled in martial arts. He also brought guards and her four thugs with him. However, he was not happy to see any trace of danger.
Therefore, no matter how politically-correct her actions were, as a husband,
he was very angry.
“I don’t want there to be a next time.”
“I told you, I’m here. Believe me.”
Xiao Baoxin smiled.” Of course I believe you. I just want more protection and more information. It might be helpful to you.”As she sent him out, she said, “Second Niangzi told Yang Shao to lock her up in the house and not allow her to step out. It would probably be in vain if I instructed someone to go, so I made a trip. It was an emergency, and there wouldn’t be a next time.
“I’ve already given the butler an order.”
The same treatment as Xiao Jing ‘ai. Obviously, he didn’t believe her.
He had covered up for her in front of the elders, but this did not mean that he approved of her actions.
While Xiao Baoxin was stunned, Xie Xian had already walked away quickly.
“Stay at home…Wait for me to come back.”
The sky was already dark, and his entire body blended into the night with his black cloak. The clear wind and bright moon appeared out of nowhere and followed closely behind, like a shadow.
Xie Xian came and went in a hurry and did not dare to delay.
He took advantage of the Emperor’s ministers having dinner to find a time to hurry back to the residence. Right now, every minute was a battle opportunity, so he could not be careless at all.
It took less than an hour to return. When he returned to the Imperial Palace and saw Emperor Yong Ping, his face was about to turn green.
What time is it?
When Emperor Yong Ping heard from Duo Fu that Xie Xian had been called back to the residence by Xiao Baoxin, his face turned even greener, like a stinky bubble covered in moss.
There were more than ten civil officials and generals, and the army was pressing down on the border at any moment. In such a life and death situation, they actually still had the mood to care about Xiao Baoxin and throw everything away…
Xie Xian was probably the one who said that he did not love the country but loved the beauty.
Although the country did not belong to him, Xie Xian, it was everyone’s responsibility to protect the country!
“Your Majesty, time is running out. Let’s follow our deduction and arrange our troops.”
Emperor Yong Ping,”You actually know that time is tight.”
“Yeah, time… Urgent…” After all, he could use Xie Xian’s mouth and mouth. He was even pointing at Xie Xian’s head. He did not complain. It could be said that Xie Xian was now his backbone.
” Since His Majesty has sworn to live and die with Jiankang, there is no need for the Imperial Army to stay in the palace. Send all of them to guard the city….
