Chapter 824: Big Cancer
When Xie Xian came out of the Imperial Palace with Madam Yuan’s corpse, it was already a quarter to nine. Xie Qing and Zhuge Shu had already prepared the coffin.
It was a high-grade Golden Nanmu. Madam Yuan had already prepared it before she was 30 years old.
In Daliang, there was an established custom. Regardless of gender, most of them would prepare their coffins before they turned 30, in case they were caught off guard by any accidents.
Especially at the end of the previous dynasty, there were frequent wars. Some people even prepared their coffins after they got married at the age of 20. After all, who knew which one would arrive tomorrow or the accident?
The higher the social class, the better the materials used. Lady Yuan used the
finest Nanmu wood, which was extremely luxurious.
When Madam Yuan gave birth to Xie Xian, it was extremely dangerous. It was also after that that she began to make preparations.
Unexpectedly, he had used it today.
When Zhuge Shu was holding Xie Xian, he could clearly feel that Xie Xian was floating. Although he looked normal on the outside and was even overly calm, in fact, he was forcing himself to stay alert. Finally seeing his family, he relaxed and collapsed.
Xie Qing sent someone to carefully place Lady Yuan into the coffin.
“Brother.” He walked in front ofXieXian.” Let’sgohome.”
Xie Xian nodded. With Zhuge Shu’s help, he carried the coffin all the way back
to the Xie family in Black Clothes Alley.
The Langya Wang family’s mansion, which had been vacant for two to three years, was given to Yang Fengming, the elder brother of the Jiang Xia Princess Consort Yang.
This eldest son of the Yang family of Mount Tai had risen to fame after entering Jiankang. He had first served as the assistant minister of the Yellow Gate and had been promoted to a casual rider in a few months. After Zhuge Fu was drugged by the Ninth Princess of Rouran and forced to resign, Yang Fengming became the Minister of Justice.
In less than a year, his status had risen.
Because of the promotion of the Minister of Justice, Emperor Yong Ping had the intention to give Yang Fengming a favor, so he gave the Wang family’s residence in Black Clothes Alley to Yang Fengming.
Yang Fengming didn’t make any drastic changes. He only renovated everything and brought his entire family from Pingyuan County to Jiankang City. Today was the day they moved to their new residence, and all the aristocratic families had sent people to congratulate them. Although it couldn’t be compared to the Xie family’s banquet, it was still quite lively.
When Xie Xian returned to the Xie Manor with the coffin, the entire street exploded.
An hour later, the Xie family’s mansion was replaced with white lanterns and a mourning shed was set up.
“..Who died?”
“The servants of the Xie family are tight-lipped, so we didn’t get anything out
of them.”
“Anyway, it wasn’t Xie Xian. I saw him walk back.
If it wasn’t his mother, then it must be Grand Madam Xie.”
Xie Xian was in a daze. When he returned to the Xie Family’s mourning hall, the arrangements had already been made.
Madam Wang was experienced. When Attendant Xie died, Madam Yuan was so heartbroken that she wished she could die with him. Madam Wang was the one who handled the aftermath.
“What exactly happened?” Mother Xie called Xie Xian over. The old lady’s eyes were red from crying. Although her heart ached for her grandson and she couldn’t bear to see him in a daze, she had to figure out the ins and outs of the matter.
“Yeah, why did a good person come out of the palace just like that? Third Master Xie said anxiously.
She had no feelings for her eldest sister-in-law, but that was her eldest brother’s widow, the daughter-in-law of the Xie family. They were family, and it was not up to others to bully them.
“What did the Emperor say?”
“What’s going on? Xuanhui, we can’t let people bully our Xie family like this. Who cares who he is? If he dares to touch our Xie family, let him die a horrible death!”
Mrs. Wang tugged at his sleeve.” Shut up, even if it’s just some constructive suggestions.”
He had seen his age grow over the years, and his IQhad dropped.
Xie Xian lowered his eyes and recounted everything that had happened in the
Palace.
“Then how will the emperor deal with the Prince of Huaiyang?”Second Master
Xie asked.
“Yeah, how did you deal with it?” “Is the Prince of Huaiyang stupid? Why would he think of killing Eldest Sister-in-law?” Third Master Xie asked. If he wants to ascend the throne, he should kill the emperor.”
Fortunately, Second Master Xie was close enough to kick Third Master Xie s foot.
“Third Bro!” He glared at her.” Are you trying to be disrespectful?!”
Did he want to drag the entire Xie family down to meet up with Eldest Sister- in-law and have a happy reunion?
What he said was the truth, but could he say it?
“There’s the Xie family and the Xiao family. Will the Prince of Huaiyang ascend the throne and become the emperor himself just because he killed the emperor?”Mother Xie said coldly .”Think before you speak.” ”
That made sense.
The Prince of Huaiyang wanted to cut off Emperor Yong Ping’s arm first. After the Xie family, it would be the Xiao family. Only after he had almost eliminated all the living forces would he be Emperor Yong Ping.
The safest way would be to force him to abdicate and make things stable. Death is just a few courtiers, to the court bureau also will not cause too big influence.
What was surprising was that the King of Huaiyang’s concubine suddenly changed sides, causing the King of Huaiyang to fail in his expedition and only captured Lady Yuan as a scapegoat. Of course, this was also the most hurtful to the Xie family.
“Ah Lang, continue.” Mother Xie said gently.
Xie Xian sat on the embroidered stool, his eyes fixed on the ground. He didn’t speak for a long time before he suddenly looked around.”Where’s Bao Xin?”
“Is she alright?”
“She’s fine. She fainted from anxiety just now. Now that she’s awake, Seventh Madame and Twelfth Madame are accompanying her.” “Don’t worry,” said Madam Wang,”I’ve already found Imperial Physician Wei to check on him. Everything is fine.””
Little Wei was purely used to calling him Imperial Physician. In fact, because of the death of the eldest son, he had been removed from his position by the Emperor and was no longer working in the Imperial Academy of Medicine. It was just that the Xie family had dealt with him many times and was used to calling him that.
Xie Xian seemed to have only digested these words for a while before he completely understood. He muttered,”It’s good that she’s fine, it’s good that she’s fine. Tell Seventh Madame and Twelfth Madame not to touch her…You can’t touch her…”
Madam Wang looked at Mother Xie in surprise. She had to say that Xie Xian might have been agitated. Why did he speak so incoherently?
Mother Xie was also quite worried. She saw Xie Xian’s handsome face was pale and clearly in a daze.
“Go and rest first. Leave your mother’s matter to me. Even if I have to risk my old face, I want the emperor to give our Xie family an explanation!”
“No need.” Xie Xian shookhis head.” Grandmother doesn’t need to step in for this matter. The Emperor won’t spare Prince Huaiyang.”
Although Mrs. Yuan was dead, Xie Xian was grief-stricken, and her IQwas still low.
His understanding of Emperor Yong Ping was as usual.
He was a person with severe paranoia and attached great importance to the throne.
If the Prince of Huaiyang dared to kill someone in the palace, Emperor Yong Ping would immediately think of what to do if he wanted to kill him.
He would not be so foolish as to think that Prince Huai Yang’s ultimate goal was just a daughter-in-law of the Xie family, forcing him to resign from his position and attend funeral. It was all a personal grudge, and Prince Huai Yang would just give up.
The Emperor might even have already planned in his mind that he would be reduced to ashes by the Prince of Huaiyang and die without a burial place.
Emperor Yong Ping would definitely not be able to sleep and eat in peace if he did not remove such a huge tumor from the root.
