Chapter 606: Coincidence
Translator: 549690339
Even if Prince Jiang Xia was clearly on his side, he did not dare to respond. He
only said with a dark face,”
“This lowly subject does not dare to disappoint Your Majesty.
“How did you fall into the lake?” Who else was there? Who suggested fishing?
Did the fishing rod and the deck be checked after the incident?”
Emperor Yong Ping’s eyes flashed.
Xie Xianguang could tell from his expression that the Emperor was suspicious.
■Tve already sent people to investigate. Everything is normal.”Yang Shao replied.
“Which one?”
Yang Shao slightly frowned at Xie Xian’s continuous questioning. Did he suspect that someone had tampered with it, or did he suspect that his people’s inspection was not rigorous, indirectly saying that he did not take the Emperor seriously and did not do things well?
“It’s my subordinate, General Hou Yu.”
‘■Hou Yu?” Xie Xian understood. This was the ugly general who had failed to pursue Xie Shan. Originally, the emperor had given him the title of General of the Direct Cabinet. Later, he felt that his appearance was too ugly and affected his mood, so he was transferred to Yang Shao’s side and was given the title of General of the Military Guards.

The Prince of Huaiyang laughed.” Don’t talk about loyalty. It’s just a psychological expectation of whether or not the benefits will reach the person.””
King Jiang Xia did not comment. Was this considered exposing his own shortcomings?
Xie Xian and Yang Shao were the two people who had followed the dragon and were both engraved on the loyal and virtuous pillar. Was it appropriate for a two-headed grass like you to say this?
As expected, Yang Shao sneered and said,”Others might be able to do so, but not Hou Yu. When the King of Guiyang attacked the city, his soldiers killed several of his generals and made great contributions to the defense of the city. Moreover, his family background was clean and his father and son had served Daliang for several generations, so he did not…Criminal record.”
Prince Huaiyang’s chubby face flushed red.””Yang Hujun, you better remember what you said today!”
“This king is also thinking for Your Majesty. The so-called meritorious service and loyalty are the most easily changed. At the stime, it was also a warning to Yang Hujun. If Hou Yu wasn’t innocent and Yang Hujun protected him so strongly, could he say that he was your man? Ordered by you? Swords were better left unsaid.”
After saying that, he cupped his hands at Emperor Yong Ping.
The Grand Empress Dowager also frowned. Even if Prince Huaiyang was raised by her side, he was just a middle guard. In the future, Princess Shang would only be a Prince Consort. Yet, he dared to make things difficult for a proper Prince. He did not put her, the Grand Empress Dowager, in his eyes.
“Yang Qing is too rude!”
After saying that, she flicked her sleeves and left. When she returned to the harem, she pointed the ceremonial nanny to Princess Lujiang. She was a minister who could not command the previous dynasty. Otherwise, she would have pointed one to Yang Hujun and let him know what the royal rules were.
No matter how bad the people of the royal family were, they were still family.
Who was Yang Shao?
He was just a person who had married a princess less than a year after his wife died. He was a person who chased after fand fortune, yet he dared to be shameless and talk back to a proper prince! Later, he spoke ill of Yang Shao in front of Emperor Yong Ping. Of course, this was not mentioned in the future.
Xie Xian understood that Yang Shao had received guidance from an expert to draw a clear line between himself and those who were a threat to the throne, and had firmly chosen to stand behind the Emperor.
Emperor Yong Ping’s body was fine, so he asked King Jiang Xia and Yang Shao to retreat, leaving only Xie Xian behind.
“My dear minister, do you also think that this matter is not simple?”Emperor Yong Ping dismissed the people around him, his sword-like eyebrows tightly knitted together.
He didn’t know that he was that expert, Xie Xian, who was inexplicably regarded as the expert who guided the country.
“Your Majesty, do you not believe Hou Yu, or do you simply not believe the results of Hou Yu’s investigation?”
Eternal Peace Capital did not believe it.
“Your Majesty, is there anything suspicious?” Xie Xian asked.
Emperor Yong Ping shook his head. He simply felt that this matter was not simple.
First, he attacked the Empress and got rid of the heir. Then, he fell into the water. If the royal guards had not saved him quickly, would he have drowned? Emperor Yong Ping’s face was pale from fear. His mind was filled with the terrifying scene of being drowned, unable to breathe, and on the verge of death.
Xie Xian nodded.” I know what to do. I’ll send someone to investigate in private.” However, since Hou Yu had already investigated, there were no traces of human activity. Even if there were any suspicious points, they would have already been erased by someone, and there would be no more clues.” Emperor Yong Ping held Xie Xian’s hand tightly.”! can only trust my beloved minister.”
Xie Xian sighed inwardly. Clearly, the Emperor was frightened.
“My dear minister… Who do you think harmed the Empress?
This was the first tEmperor Yong Ping raised this question to Xie Xian after Empress Xiao’s miscarriage.
If Emperor Yong Ping hadn’t fallen into the lake himself, he wouldn’t have asked.
Xie Xian pondered for a moment,”! think the first one that can be eliminated is the Imperial Consort…”
“I think so too’.” Emperor Yong Ping clapped his hands.” It’s too obvious. No matter how stupid the Chu family is, they wouldn’t have left behind so many traces, and all of them point to the Ninth Imperial Consort! The partial empress doesn’t believe it.”
“If the Chu family acted in the opposite way and deliberately set up a trap, how would they know that I am not a fool? In a fit of anger, they would blthe Imperial Consort and vent their anger on the Chu family?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat Xie Xian actually wanted to say was that although Chu Jiuniang was the Chu family’s legitimate daughter in name, she was actually just a concubine s child and was recorded under her mother’s name.
Perhaps in the future, when the Chu family saw that he had gamed power in the palace, they would do their best to support him. Perhaps Chu Jiuniang had just entered the palace for less than a few months, and the Emperor loved her dearly. The four concubines were all doted on, so one really could not see Chu Jiuniang’s advantage. It was just that her title was higher than others, and she wanted the Chu family to help her so early and directly attack the mother of a country…
Xie Xian didn’t think that the Chu family’s head was so muddle-headed.
“And then?” Emperor Yong Ping’s eyes lit up. Xie Xian’s high achievements shocked the master. Otherwise, he would have really taken him as a confidant. The two of them had the sopinion.
He was a little proud of himself.
Xie Xian was extremely intelligent and insightful in government affairs. This was praised by the former Emperor Yuheng. For him to be able to have such a coincidence with Xie Xianda, did it mean that he was a wise ruler?
However, when he thought about it, he actually used Xie Xian as a benchmark, and he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
” Then, we can rule it out.” Xie Xian said,””It’s Consort Xian.
Consort Xian was the Empress Dowager’s mother, Pan Shuo’s cousin, Pan Shiniang. It wasn’t that he had much insight into their human nature. It was purely because the Pan family hadn’t expanded to this extent, nor did they have the strength.
After that, there was nothing to say.
-This subject is only speculating and has no evidence, so we can only stop here.”Xie Xian cleared his name. When the Emperor asked, he said. If the Emperor didn’t ask, he wouldn’t say a word.
It could only end here.
If he said anything more, the Imperial Capital of Yongping would suspect his role in it and throw dirty water on him at any moment.
As the saying goes, distance does not separate relatives. Not to mention monarch and minister, even blood brothers could not say sthings.
Was there a need to ask if the He family was still the Qi family?
Xie Xian had bet that his salary for a hundred years would belong to the He family. Of course, he would not rely on his salary to make a living. Even if he lost, he wouldn’t starve to death..
