A Sharp Warning

Was this an illusion?
He felt that his father wanted to strip him of his identity at any moment.
When Xie Yan was feeling uneasy, Xie Xian let go of his face and said to Xiao Baoxin,”Is Ah Yan sleepy? He looks dazed.”
“Men, carry him away!” Xiao Baoxin called out.
This was a fixed procedure for the family of three. Every time, Xie Yan would run away and be carried away.
In reality, not only Xie Yan, Xiao Baoxin was also the same. Every time he faced Xie Xian, he would always feel inexplicably guilty. Being stared at by that pair of eyes, she felt like her underwear would be taken off at any moment.
“Ah Yan is already eight months pregnant…”
Xiao Baoxin,”So?”
“You know what?”
Xiao Baoxin wanted to say ‘I don’t know1.
“His eyes give people the feeling that he can think.”Xie Xian narrowed his eyes and said softly,” I would occasionally look at him. His eyes were the kind of eyes that could think. The eyes of a person who was thinking.”
“Is it that magical?” Xiao Baoxin chuckled.”
“I didn’t notice.”
Xie Xian patted her head and didn’t tell her. Madam Yuan also felt that Xiao Baoxin paid too little attention to Xie Yan and didn’t seem like a mother. However, Xiao Baoxin was still young, wasn’t he?
There was no rule that said that when a child was born, the mother’s love would be overflowing.
It was enough for her and him to be a couple.
“It’s like this. But who knows? Maybe children can think too. Although we were all children, who can remember what happened back then?”Xie Xian smiled.
“Maybe he understands what we’re saying, maybe he’s a soul with a previous life, maybe he… Would they gradually forget the past as they grew up?”
Xie Xian thought about it and laughed.”
Before this, he didn’t really believe in these illusory concepts. However, Xiao Baoxin’s innate skills and Xiao Jing ‘ai’s repeated reincarnations had taught him a vivid lesson.
Moreover, it opened the door to a new world for him.
Xiao Baoxin rubbed his stomach. No more maybe, no more thinking…
She was so frightened that she had given birth prematurely at only five months.
“So, you would sometimes talk to him about the state affairs and the current situation? “she asked.
Xie Xian was stunned for a moment before he smiled.
Xiao Baoxin pursed his lips, wanting to bite off his own tongue! This was all said by Xie Xian to Xie Yan behind everyone’s back, causing Xie Yan to be dumbfounded. She did not understand what kind of divine operation Xie Xian was doing. He complained to Xiao Baoxin, but in the end, she just…He sold her out.
That was why she should shut up!
“Do you remember? I asked Youmei to look for you at Freedom Yard that day. She practiced martial arts, so her hearing was much sharper than ordinary people. She heard you talking about the emperor and the empress. When she came back to tell me, she was still confused. She didn’t know what you were talking about with Ah Yan.”
Xie Xian nodded his head repeatedly. He was just joking. It was very magical. Sometimes, he would give me a response.”
Xiao Baoxin,”You’re going to scare your own son into peeing his pants, okay?”
Are you sure you want to play with your son like this?
“He’s so young-”
“I’m just saying. I’m trying to help him develop some political sensitivity. He was born in the Xie family, and as our son, he was destined not to live a mediocre life.”
Alright, Xiao Baoxin was speechless. He could only take out his all-purpose trump card.
“Are you hungry?”
The couple happily ate lunch.

Xie Wan and Twelfth Wang entering the palace to accompany Empress Xiao was actually just to fulfill Emperor Yong Ping’s request. How could the real pain be resolved with a little comfort?
To put it bluntly, Emperor Yong Ping was tired. He could not handle Empress Xiao like this. He was physically and mentally exhausted. He only transferred this fatigue to others.
If it was not Xiao Baoxin, Xie Wan and Twelfth Madam Wang would do.
The more sorrowful Empress Xiao was, the clearer she saw.
It was just that there were some principles that everyone knew, but understanding them did not mean that one could make the best choice. Especially when it came to relationships, father and daughter, mother and son (female).
However, it was a great comfort to her that someone from the Xie family could enter the palace to accompany her at this time.
She knew the meaning behind this. Moreover, Mother Xie had also accompanied her into the palace that day and told her the truth. The Xie family was her source of confidence, and the Xiao family would not decline because of this.
In these three years, it was inevitable for the Xiao family’s children to retire. Three years later, as long as the Xie family did not fall, the Xiao family would not fall either.
In fact, if it wasn’t for Mother Xie’s sharp warning, Empress Xiao would still be immersed in sorrow and wouldn’t have thought so much. It was about the Xiao family.
Empress Xiao woke up with a loud shout.
After sorting out her emotions, when she saw Emperor Yong Ping again, she said that she was not feeling well and handed over the power of the palace to Imperial Consort Chu and Consort He Shu.
Emperor Yongping posthumously presented Xiao Cishi as a general, a doctor of Golden Purple Guanglu, and a duke of Anle County.
Although it was a posthumous title for the dead, it was for the living to see. The Empress was quite satisfied with the Emperor’s actions. However, she couldn’t care so much. She had lost two children in two years and was seriously deficient. The imperial doctor had also said that if she didn’t take good care of herself, it would be extremely difficult for her to conceive in the future. Even if she got pregnant, it was hard to guarantee that she would survive.
Empress Xiao closed the door and refused guests. After keeping Xie Wan and Twelfth Madam Wang for half a month, she finally let them out of the palace.
Consort Qi De’s six-month pregnancy was still not preserved. If it were not for the fact that the Palace and Minister Qi’s residence had used all kinds of rare and good medicine, Consort Qi De would have gone along with her if she had not lost a lot of money.
Emperor Yong Ping had lost two children in a row. It was such a blow that he was about to doubt his life.
Consort Qi De had previously insisted that Imperial Consort Chu harbored evil intentions and suspected that she had applied hair oil on the road, causing her to slip and fall. However, after it was found out that it had nothing to do with Imperial Consort Chu, the two concubines no longer had any quarrel. When Consort Qi De was nursing her child, Imperial Consort Chu did not mind sending all kinds of good medicine to Elixir Yang Hall. Although Consort Qi De had lost a male fetus, she did not hold a grudge against Imperial Consort Chu. As for Imperial Consort Chu, she was also very glorious in front of the Emperor.
Consort He Shu was pregnant. Although she was Emperor Yong Ping’s cousin and had a deep relationship with him, she could not serve the Emperor.
Emperor Yong Ping only went to her place to sit and chat. For various reasons, Imperial Consort Chu became the most favored concubine in the harem and became the emperor’s flower of understanding and tenderness.
Even during the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, Empress Xiao did not attend, claiming that she was ill and weak. The person who was busy inside and outside was Imperial Consort Chu.
Consort He Shu attended with a big belly, but in the end, something happened to the sedan on the way. Her entire body fell off the sedan and blood was seen at that time.
The Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet ended on bad terms. Emperor Yong Ping went to Consort He Shu’s place to guard for most of the night, only to end up with one corpse and two lives.
Emperor Yong Ping hugged Consort He Shu’s corpse. His expression was indescribable, and his eyes were frighteningly empty.
The Grand Empress Dowager, Noble Consort Chu, and Consort Pan Xian sat in the hall until the moon raised its head. Only then did Empress Xiao, who had received the news late, arrive. His complexion was much better than before, and he finally seemed to have regained some color. However, his face was indifferent and expressionless.
“Consort Shu, nothing else.” After Empress Xiao greeted the Grand Empress Dowager, Imperial Concubine Chu hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
Empress Xiao raised her eyebrows and nodded.
Consort Pan Xian hid beside the Empress Dowager, shivering.
