Chapter 200: Chapter 200-Scheming

The onlookers were not afraid of things getting out of hand.
It was just a groundless accusation, but it was enough for the people of the palace to gossip for a while.
An empress and a noble consort, especially when they had already caused a huge ruckus previously, were like needles against wheat. Now that one of them was dead, the other was naturally the ultimate suspect.
They just wanted to watch the show and gossip. Who cared if there was evidence? The judge just felt that it was natural.
No one took it seriously. They just wanted to talk happily.
However, if this matter was brought to Empress Dowager Pan and even Princess Xuancheng knew about it, it was likely that this matter would spread to more than one or two people.
“Princess, others can talk nonsense, but you can’t. “Xiao Baoxin lowered her voice. Because the two of them were sleeping on the same bed and were too close to each other, it was inevitable that there would be skin contact. She heard the excitement in Princess Xuancheng’s heart.
“But everyone said that the Empress killed him.”
‘I think so. Father dotes on Mother so much that the Empress must be jealous.’
” And the Crown Prince. He’s always been jealous of my brother.’
“I’m telling you, you’re not anyone else.”Princess Xuancheng said stubbornly. She naturally didn’t tell anyone else, but with Lady Xiao, who was her future aunt and sister, they were all family. What couldn’t she say?
No matter how unwilling she was, after being bombarded by her aunt and cousin, she inevitably understood some things.
She and her brother were not on good terms with the Crown Prince, and she did not want her future husband’s family to support the Crown Prince in court.
If they were to take sides, they should at least take sides with their brother.
If she told Lady Xiao that Empress Wang was the murderer of Noble Consort Liu, the Xiao Family would definitely know. If they wanted to marry her, they would not be able to support the Crown Prince no matter what.
Eldest Lady Xiao had the entire Xiao Family and Xie Xian behind her.
At the very least, if the Xiao Family stood on brother’s side, Xie Xian would not support the Crown Prince and would choose brother instead.
Xie Xian was not only Father’s trusted aide, but also the head of the Xie Clan, a top-notch aristocratic clan. And the Xie Clan was an aristocratic clan that could contend with the Wang Clan, and was a rare help to his brother.
Xiao Baoxin had no other thoughts other than lamenting that the palace could change people.
However, this should be what the people in the palace should be thinking about. In the past, Princess Xuancheng was an anomaly. She was so carefree that people always felt that she was unsuited for the princess. Perhaps she was protected too well by Noble Consort Liu and was doted on by Emperor Epsilon without any scruples.
Xiao Baoxin didn’t think that there was anything wrong with Princess Xuancheng’s behavior.
If the princess of Xuancheng continued to rampage like before, she would be more worried if she did not care. There was no one who dared to challenge the emperor’s reverse scale on the surface, but there was no guarantee that no one would trip him up behind his back.
With Princess Xuancheng’s intelligence, it was not that she underestimated Xuancheng, but she really could not beat the old fox who had been in the palace for many years.
It was just that Princess Xuancheng’s plan was in line with the Xiao family’s political direction. They were both determined to prevent the Crown Prince from ascending the throne. However, Princess Xuancheng’s goal was clearer. She only wanted Xin ‘an King to be the emperor.
The Xiao family had a wider range of considerations, but since he was married to Princess Xuancheng, the first in line was naturally Prince Xin ‘an.
Thinking of Xin ‘an Prince, Xiao Baoxin could not help but think of the time when he was almost pulled by Noble Consort Liu. At that time, Xin’ an Prince’s small face had turned pale from fright, but he did not leave her any face, as if there was a vicious dog chasing him from behind.
After Noble Consort Liu died, Xiao Baoxin couldn’t help but sigh at how difficult it was for a child without a mother.
This was especially true for the Xin ‘an King. He had first taken a cake from the palace to give to Noble Consort Liu, causing the death of his own mother. Moreover, for a long time, he was not welcomed by Emperor Yu Heng and did not even see him.
Under this double blow, he suddenly fell ill. His whole body was feverish, and his mouth was full of nonsense. One moment, his mother came to pick him up, and the next moment, he cried bitterly and apologized to Noble Consort Liu. Fortunately, he did not die.
Emperor Epsilon was shocked and brought the imperial physician to the Xin ‘an Prince’s mansion to guard it for two days and one night.
After that, the relationship between father and son was restored. Emperor Yuheng even sent his elite guards to the Xin ‘an Prince’s mansion. He was also more careful with the Xin’ an Prince’s diet. Every time he ate, someone would try the dishes first. His vigilance was clear.
As for who he was guarding against.Jt was self-evident.
Xiao Baoxin actually didn’t think that it was Empress Wang who did it. Previously, because of Yuan Jiuniang and Yuan Chen’s matter, Madam Yin had slandered Empress Wang. As a result, Xiao Baoxin had come into contact with Empress Wang. In her opinion, Empress Wang was broad-minded and a very intelligent woman.
To be honest, she didn’t believe that Empress Wang was someone who used poison to kill concubines behind their backs.
Not to mention Noble Consort Liu jumping up and down to seek the future of Xin ‘an King, even Emperor Yuheng was also jumping up and down to change the Crown Prince.
However, had it changed? Was it easy?
It was so difficult for even the emperor to change the crown prince. He had to consider all aspects. The aristocratic families and the court situation were not something that could be done overnight.
The Empress was the Wang family of Langya. The various aristocratic families were connected and intertwined, a natural political alliance. How could Noble Consort Liu, a third-rate family, compare to the Wang family? There was really no need to use such dirty methods.
If the poison was not used correctly, or if something went wrong, Empress Wang’s character would collapse. She would be digging a hole for herself, and the investment would not be proportional to the benefits. Empress Wang was also blinded by greed.
However, Xiao Baoxin didn’t tell Princess Xuancheng this. Even if he did, he might not believe it. He might even think that this was a signal that the Xiao family was siding with Empress Wang.
Now, not only did Princess Xuancheng think too much, but she was also weak.
“It doesn’t matter if you tell me, Princess,” he said.”But it’s inevitable that the walls have ears. If word gets out, this matter won’t be settled.””
“Moreover, the Emperor has a deep affection for the Imperial Concubine. If Empress Wang really did it and the evidence is conclusive, how could the Emperor not seek justice for the Imperial Concubine?”
“Even if it’s for Xin ‘an King, for the Emperor, the Princess cannot be involved in the inner palace’s war of words. If she is used by others, she will only hurt herself. It hurts your loved ones and makes your enemies happy.” Xiao Baoxin consoled.
“What do you mean? I don’t understand…”
“Who is he?”
Xiao Baoxin had a headache. Was everything so clear?
Then, he saw Princess Xuancheng obediently nod her head, pretending to know what she didn’t know.
Xiao Baoxin: His head hurt even more.
“In short, remember, anyone can say that someone had killed Imperial Consort Liu, but since the Emperor sent Prince Huaiyang to settle the case, it was the fault of the cake shop. The Princess cannot slap the Emperor’s face and flip the Emperor’s case.”
“The Empress is the mother of a country and is respected by the world. Her reputation cannot be slandered.”
Princess Xuancheng finally understood. If her father said that she was not the Empress, then she definitely was not. She could not say that she was.
“I know. I’ll only keep it in my heart and not say it out loud in the future.”She paused and didn’t say anything else.
Her aunt also told her that it was Empress Wang who did it. She also told her to stay away from Empress Wang and hug the Empress Dowager’s thigh.
.. This world was too complicated.
Princess Xuancheng was a little confused. She could only feel her way across the river. The closest people to her were her father and brother. There might be Xiao Baoshu in the future.
“.. I’ll listen to Big Niangzi. We’ll be a family in the future.”Princess Xuancheng whispered..
