Chapter 874: Chapter 874-Turning Around

With a single glance, it was obvious that Prince Yuzhang’s body had been nourished by the Empress Dowager, just like Prince Huaiyang’s.

“I came to say goodbye to Imperial Sister-in-law and will be leaving the palace today. I have always thanked Imperial Sister-in-law for taking care of me.”

Although the Prince of Yuzhang was already six or seven years old, it was already the time for enlightenment. However, the Grand Empress Dowager had always been by his side and could not allow a man to enter the harem, so it was delayed.

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager had taught her manners well and did not spoil her into a lawless personality. She only spoke softly and softly, like a young lady, and her voice was also sharp.

If one didn’t know, they would really think that it was a round little lady dressed as a man.

Although she said it beautifully, she really didn’t need to take care of him.

This was the Emperor’s brother, so the Empress Dowager didn’t dare to be negligent. She treated him like an eyeball and held his hands together, afraid that he would get dirty.

The Empress Dowager only had this hobby, and Empress Xiao did not plan to snatch it from her. It was good to get along with her at a distance.

He had thought that the Empress Dowager had just passed away, and that she would be taking care of her even when she was leaving the palace. No matter what, she was the master of the harem. It was too early to say that her brother-in-law was avoiding suspicion. He was only a little old, although he looked old enough.

However, the Emperor did not say a word, nor did he greet her, so Empress Xiao began to mutter in her heart.

At first, she thought that the Empress Dowager’s death was the doing of Emperor Yong Ping. First, it was the death of his own son, then it was Imperial Consort Chu. She thought that she had already blinded him enough. Emperor Yong Ping was also extremely anxious. He actually took advantage of the chaos in the world to deal with the Empress Dowager without batting an eyelid.

Empress Xiao thought that she had seen through Emperor Yong Ping.

In the end, Prince Yuzhang’s sudden departure from the palace had alerted her.

Could it be that it wasn’t Emperor Yong Ping who did it, but that Emperor Yong Ping was suspicious of her?

Empress Xiao couldn’t be blamed for being overly sensitive. These few days of mourning for the Empress Dowager, Emperor Yong Ping had been lukewarm towards her. At first, she didn’t think much about it, but with the sudden appearance of the Prince of Yuzhang, she couldn’t help but think more.

“.. Royal sister-in-law? I just wanted to say goodbye to Imperial Sister-in-law and left.”The King of Yuzhang said gently.

Empress Xiao came back to her senses.

“You sit first, I think the emperor has been heartbroken for imperial grandmother these days and didn’t tell me. You said that you just left the palace at such a young age. If I had received the news earlier, I would have been able to prepare more, but now I was caught off guard.”

“Many thanks Imperial Sister-in-law. These days, it’s not just Imperial Brother, Imperial Sister-in-law is also very busy. The palace maids, eunuchs, and nannies who followed me around have served me since I was young. Imperial brother sympathized with them and let me take them out of the palace. In addition, the opening of the residence has been handed over to the Ministry of Rites. I am still the biological brother of Imperial Brother, so no one would dare to neglect me.”

As expected of someone who grew up beside the Empress Dowager, these words made one’s heart melt.

“But you are still young. If you were in the palace, I would still be able to take care of you, but if you leave the palace, I would not know what to do for a moment. Your brother is busy with government affairs. If there is anything you need in the future, feel free to tell her. “Just you wait.” Empress Xiao turned around and ordered the palace maid to prepare. Only then did she sit down and chat with the King of Yuzhang.

From her daily habits to the many matters of opening the residence, she had also mentioned a little about what she knew outside the palace. It was nothing more than finding a conversation to show her concern.

The King of Yuzhang had never thought that Empress Xiao would be such a talkative person. In the past, she looked quite dignified and spoke very little…

He couldn’t stand it.

The old lady he met in the Empress Dowager’s palace was a top-notch beauty, not to mention his own brother and sister. Each of them was more beautiful than the other, so he could at least take advantage of them.

Even the precious gifts that Empress Xiao gave him before he left could only make up for the small trauma in his heart.

So what if Imperial Brother was the emperor? He still married an ugly girl.

The Prince of Yuzhang touched his face. He could finally leave the palace. In the future, he could do whatever he wanted!

As long as he did not follow the example of the Prince of Huaiyang and offend his elder brother, he should be able to live.

Although the Prince of Yuzhang was only six years old, he understood the taboos of the royal family. He had heard many eunuchs talk to him about the outside world. He had reason to suspect that his brother had sent them to brainwash him.

As long as he was good at eating, drinking, and gambling, and was not good at martial arts, he could live happily until death.

..

Empress Xiao did not know that the Prince of Yuzhang was so young that he was already scheming. She wanted to tell Emperor Yong Ping about her feelings.

Emperor Yong Ping was paranoid. He wouldn’t hate her for attacking the Empress Dowager. Instead, he would be on guard against her, afraid that she would attack him one day.

Just like how the commoner Wang attacked Emperor Yuheng.

The problem was how to start the conversation. As long as this was mentioned, it would inevitably make people feel that there was no silver lining here. However, she had to say it. If she didn’t say it, Emperor Yong Ping couldn’t suffocate himself to death, but it was very likely that she would die of suffocation in the end.

“Who could it be?” Empress Xiao had no choice but to ask.

She originally felt that the death of the Empress Dowager was strange. She was alive and kicking, and her body was better than she looked. Perhaps the Empress Dowager was still alive after her death.

In the past, it was Emperor Yong Ping who did it. However, what if Emperor Yong Ping was excluded?

Empress Xiao felt a chill run down her spine, and a small chilly wind whirled around her.

In reality, ever since Xie Xian sent a message to the Palace to stop her from falling into the trap, she had reflected on herself. Relying on the Emperor’s current trust, she seemed to think highly of herself. She had overestimated herself and underestimated others.

Now that the Empress Dowager was dead, she could finally understand the mentality of Emperor Yong Ping, who had a deep sense of paranoia.

He didn’t know who was behind this, when that person would attack, and what method he would use.

It was like a knife hanging over his head, but no one told him when it would fall.

Empress Xiao shook her head instinctively. The death of the Grand Empress Dowager would benefit anyone, but not Xie Xian.

Moreover, from Xie Xian’s daily actions, he didn’t seem to be doing such dirty things in the dark.

“Where is the Emperor?” Empress Xiao suddenly asked.

Gui Zhi was stunned. The Empress wanted her to go personally to spy on the Emperor?

“It has just passed seven in the morning. The court session might not have ended yet…”

Empress Xiao muttered,”You go and keep an eye on them. Forget it, get ready. We’ll go to the Peaceful Life Palace in an hour.””

The Empress Dowager’s spirit was resting there. These few days, Emperor Yong Ping had retired to be his filial son and grandson. He probably had to go today. Instead of going to Taiji Palace solemnly, it was better to settle this matter in Peaceful Life Palace.

The situation in Jing Zhou took a turn for the better at the beginning of August.

After North Wu had conquered Nanyang County, Sikong Xiao had split his forces into two groups. He and Xiao Baoshu had led 50,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 soldiers stationed in Xinye County to fight against North Wu’s 100,000 soldiers. They had been in a stalemate for more than a month, preventing the North Wu army from entering.
