Chapter 369: Chapter 369-Troubled

Translator: 549690339

Xiao Baoshu and Xiao Baoshan were currently in Jing Ling. Xie Xian felt that this matter was troublesome.

Originally, he didn’t want to hide anything from Xiao Baoxin. If there were any signs of trouble, he would be eager to break them apart and tell her in detail. As his husband, he was worried about the Headmaster’s heart. He wanted to teach her to fight so that she could stand alone in the future.

In fact, there were even a few sides that would not be scammed by others.

However, the current situation was clearly not right. Xiao Baoxin was pregnant, and his emotions were fluctuating greatly. He had no choice but to take reality into consideration.

Xie Xian was caught in a dilemma for a moment. He was afraid that her body would not be able to take it, but if he did not say it, no one could guarantee what the situation in Jingling was.

There were two possibilities. One was that the Xiao brothers were completely safe and they were just worrying for nothing. The second was that swords and sabers had no eyes. The battlefield was a killing field. No one could tell whose life was so fragile. It would fly in the flames of war.

The Imperial Capital of Eternal Peace was about to cry. Was it so difficult for him to be an Emperor? Before his biological father could issue an edict, he was already poisoned to death. It was not easy for him to hold onto two big and thick legs. Before he could even catch his breath, all the places rebelled.

“.. Is Jiangxia’s situation that bad?’1 The fourteen-year-old Emperor Yong Ping asked with a sad face.

His father taught him how to deal with the affairs of the court, balance the court officials, pull one to fight one, slap one’s mouth to give a sweet date, all kinds of schemes, and guard against schemes.

He didn’t need to teach them now.

He wanted to balance the court officials, but there had to be a court official who wanted him to balance them. Now, half of the officials had reversed!

Where was the reasoning?

Only then did Xie Xian realize that he had been frightened by Emperor Yong Ping. He came back to his senses and coughed awkwardly .”It’s not that bad. I just… My brother-in-law’s family and brother-in-law are still in Jingling…! wonder how I’m going to explain this to Madam when I go back…

You’ve exposed your family status!

If it wasn’t for the tense situation, the capital of Yong Ping would have laughed to death. Who would have thought that Xie Xian, who could call the wind and summon the rain in the court, was actually afraid of his wife like a tiger, afraid of this and that.

He did not think about how Xie Xian could tell his wife about the military affairs of the court.

■■The reason why the rebel army attacked the Jing Prefecture is because the Jing Prefecture Governor did not respond to the rebel army. Secondly, the counties from the Jiang Prefecture to the Jing Prefecture should have submitted to the rebel army, or at least did not resist.

-The governor of Jingzhou is Linchuan Wang, the younger brother of the late emperor. He loves literature and is upright. It must be because he was not ashamed of the rebel army’s actions and was loyal and righteous. He was not willing to collude with them.”

Who said that Xie Xian was straightforward?

Emperor Yong Ping was unconvinced. This was clearly a clever move.

Was Prince Linchuan that straightforward?

He was a bookworm.

Did he think that he had never seen Prince Lin Chuan before?

He was always talking about benevolence, righteousness, and morality. This was a good thing for the emperor. He was not a threat at all. He was devoted to reading the books of sages and sages. He regulated himself and was stricter than others.

He was rather reassuring in times of peace and prosperity, but he didn’t know what his ability to govern and command troops would be like when war came.

He was afraid that his loyalty could be seen by the sun and the moon, and his strength could be seen by the heavens and the earth. He was afraid that his strength would be like a piece of rotten tofu.

Emperor Yong Ping was worried and had no choice but to pull Xie Xian. They were ants on the same rope. Once the rebel army gained power and swept over the world, they would drag him down from the dragon throne that he had yet to sit on. He would not be able to live, and Xie Xian would have to follow them.

This was how they lived and died together.

Emperor Yong Ping’s heart was so close to Xie Xian that he finally understood why the late Emperor valued Xie Xian so much.

“The main thing is whether he has the strength to not be swallowed by Others.-Emperor Yong Ping pointed out the vital points. Even if you couldn’t beat them, you could block them and not let them take over Jingzhou. Jingzhou had been a battleground since ancient times. It was accessible by land and water. Moreover, it had a vast territory and fertile land. It was an important grain-producing area.

Once the King of Jin ‘an took Jingzhou, even if he was not in a hurry to attack Jiankang, he would be able to attack and defend at close range. He would be invincible.

Xie Xian calmed down.

-How could the late emperor not know that Jing State was an important town? In addition to sending the loyal King Linchuan, he also personally selected the chief historian and related generals. If they had no intention of rebellion, it would not be a problem for them to defend for a month. At that time, Sikong Xiao’s army would press down on the border and coordinate with Jingzhou from afar. Why would the rebel army worry about not being destroyed?”

Emperor Yongping was speechless. It sounded so easy.

“Is it that smooth?”

“It went so smoothly.” “Sikong Xiao is the victorious general. Your Majesty, have you heard of him losing a battle?” Xie Xian said with a smile.”

Emperor Yong Ping was relieved.

There was also a small half that was obviously thrown at King Lin Chuan and couldn’t be retrieved. He had seen her when he was young, and he felt that she was unreliable.

However, since Xie Xian had said so, he would believe it for the time being. Otherwise, what else could he do? Sitting in Taiji Palace Hall was just worrying for nothing.

After chatting for a short while, he ordered the eunuch to bring Xie Xian’s medicinal soup over. He watched Xie Xian drink the medicine every day, and he was not inferior to Ming Yue at all. He ate three meals a day, and not a single breath was lacking.

After drinking the medicinal soup, he asked Xie Xian to stay in the palace for the night. This time, Xie Xian would stay no matter what.

It was not that he was afraid that it would not sound good if it spread outside, but mainly…After drinking too much medicine, he had already recovered. The imperial doctor had already proved it. Emperor Yong Ping just didn’t believe it and insisted on drinking for another two days to consolidate his strength.

Was the medicine that stable?

He was originally a medicine jar, and he was so disgusted by the medicine that he drank it every day. Who could stand it?

No matter how enthusiastic Emperor Yong Ping was, he could not stop Xie Xian’s crazy desire to go home. If he continued to pour it like this, he was afraid that he would not be able to take it and rebel first.

“This subject has already stayed in the palace for four to five days. I’m afraid of attracting criticism, so this subject should go home and recuperate.Jf there were military matters in the middle of the night, it would be the same if His Majesty sent someone to call me.”

How could that be the same?

Emperor Yong Ping could tell that Xie Xian was really going to leave. His toes had already been pointing towards the door for half an hour. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was the Emperor, he would have run away long ago.

“Then, dear minister, you have to take medicine when you go home.’After saying that, he called the eunuch in and instructed Xie Xian to pack the remaining medicine.

Now, if one were to say who was most afraid of Xie Xian’s death, Emperor Yong Ping would definitely be the first to be on tenterhooks.

Xie Xian let out a long sigh of relief. He didn’t bother with the formalities with Emperor Yong Ping and directly whipped his horse back to the Xie residence. They hadn’t seen each other for a few days, and Xie Xian and Madam Yuan had been busy for two hours. They didn’t know that Xie Xian was sick, but the Emperor had never allowed his officials to stay overnight when there wasn’t an urgent matter. Everyone was thinking about it like crazy. They didn’t know what kind of serious situation was happening outside that made Xie Xian stay in the Palace for so many days.

Xie Xian was so tight-lipped. As long as he didn’t want to say anything, not a single word could leak out.

If he wanted to say something, he had to decide what he could say and what he could not say.

Xiao Baoxin had a good relationship with the elders. If he couldn’t let Xiao Baoxin know, he naturally couldn’t tell Mother Xie and Madam Yuan. Otherwise, it would be a matter of gossip.

Mother Xie and Lady Yuan did not notice that Xie Xian was sick at all. The Palace was really taking good care of him. Other than medicine, they had all kinds of tonic soup, making him look red.

On the way out of the palace, the eunuchs and ministers could not help but mutter to themselves,” Is the situation in Daliang so good already? Sikong Xiao has won another battle. Did he send back a secret report?” Why did Xie Xian look so good? Even ghosts wouldn’t believe that there wasn’t any good news. He couldn’t hide it at all..
