Chapter 149: What a Big Show

Xie Xian only waited for the next day to act according to the situation before Emperor Yu Heng. Who knew that the next day, the Emperor actually stopped court, and he did not even enter the palace gates.

Until the next day, after court, before he could even step out of Taiji Palace, Pan Shuo came to him and told him about the scandal.

Not to mention that everyone in the harem knew about it, the Empress Dowager had received the news. Otherwise, no matter how well-informed Pan Shuo was, the news would not have reached his ears so quickly.

“You’re really unlucky. You actually got targeted by that flirtatious widow Angie and caused such a big mess.”

Pan Shuo smiled maliciously.

“What’s the big deal? Why don’t I know?””

What he meant was that if it was such a big matter, he should know about it.

Pan Shuo pulled him to the side and talked as they walked. He laughed like a rat who had stolen two catties of sesame oil.

It was indeed Princess Xuancheng.

In the Xu manor, Princess Xuancheng did not do anything strange and was appeased by the Eldest Princess. However, when she returned to the palace and talked to Noble Consort Liu, Noble Consort Liu heard something.

Noble Consort Liu was not a very intelligent person, but she could still see that she had been used as a weapon for no reason. There were many such things in the Palace. After suffering a few more losses, she would be able to taste it.

He turned around and told Emperor Yu Heng.

What kind of person was Emperor Yu Heng? His heart could be split into eight pieces. He knew that something was wrong. As expected, he sent someone to ask and found out that Princess Anji had not appeared at the banquet. It seemed that there was an outsider in the house. That day, the Xu family removed Xu Jiulang’s name.

What was there to not understand? Emperor Yu Heng nearly exploded in anger.

Noble Consort Liu, who was listening at the side, started scolding on the spot. She scolded Princess Anji so badly that even the Epsilon Empire was ruined. The two of them quarreled and turned the world upside down.

That was why there was a strike the next day.

When the Emperor stopped court, Pan Shuo had nowhere else to go. He went straight to the Empress Dowager’s palace. As soon as the Empress Dowager heard that the Emperor had stopped court, she sent someone to inquire. There were no walls that could not be leaked. The Empress Dowager had been in the palace for many years and was much smarter than Noble Consort Liu. She could hear the meaning of the words at once.

He didn’t expect Angie to do such a thing.

As Pan Shuo explained Princess Anji’s reputation outside the palace, the Empress Dowager was so angry that she almost passed out. For Xie Xian, Princess Anji had completely lost the face of the royal family. She even wanted a ten-year-old niece to take the blame for her. Her intentions were really despicable!

Even the eldest princess was complaining about it.

Why, your niece is so protective of you, but our princess Xuancheng calls you grandaunt, and you’re just going to take the blame?

The Empress Dowager was not an Empress back then and was merely Emperor Xian De’s beauty. Her rank was not high. It was only after her son became the emperor that she became the empress dowager and became the most respected woman in Daliang.

In the past, in front of Emperor Xian De, the Empress Dowager could not be counted, but the Eldest Princess was a figure of power and she could only envy him.

However, when she sat on the highest position, her mentality was different. The tables had turned. Now that her son was in charge, the Eldest Princess could actually act one way on the surface and another behind his back, bullying her own granddaughter. Who did she not take seriously?

Imperial Concubine Liu did not act like a demon, but the Empress Dowager caught hold of her sore spot and called the Emperor over to complain. When Imperial Concubine Liu heard that the Empress Dowager was filled with righteous indignation, one could imagine how serious this matter was. Her daughter had suffered a lot of grievances and also started to quarrel with the Emperor.

In the end, the emperor was so frustrated that he went to the Cat Queen’s palace.

Imperial Concubine Liu was furious when she heard this. She went straight to Jiaofang Palace. Wives and concubines were another big show.

“.. You have to be careful. It’s all your doing. The root of the disaster is here. I’m afraid the emperor will vent his anger on you.”Pan Shuo gave Xie Xian an idea. He did not look at the Emperor in the court, but he did not look away from him. “In any case, with your body, you take leave every two or three days. Why don’t you take leave today and go back to the residence to hide?”

Xie Xian raised his eyebrows. Without Pan Shuo, he would have fewer sources of information.

He could be said to be a know-it-all in the harem. Just sitting in the Empress Dowager’s palace, he knew everything in the world.

” Thank you for your kindness, Brother Pan.” Xie Xian thanked him. “The emperor is wise, how could he vent his anger on this one? This one is clearly also a victim. One had to know that not only women, but men’s reputation was equally important. A son walked between heaven and earth by virtue of his righteousness and his reputation…If the emperor doesn’t look for me, I still need to ask the emperor to clear my name.”

Pan Shuo was speechless. What he said was true. The children of aristocratic families cared a lot about their reputation.

In the past, he had thought that Xie Xian was a maverick and unafraid of rumors, but now that he saw it, it wasn’t the case. It turned out that Xie Xian was also a person who valued his reputation.

“I thought you didn’t care about these worldly matters.”

Xie Xian smiled. He didn’t care, but if innocent people were implicated because of him, then it would be his fault.

“A person who doesn’t even care about his name will act unscrupulously and willfully. It’s not good for the country and the people. On the other hand, those who cared about reputation and image restrained themselves, doing good deeds, following the rules, and did not dare to take a step out of the thunder pool.”

Emperor Yu Heng walked to the window and happened to hear Xie Xian’s words. He silently clapped his hands in his heart.

His constant attendant was indeed insightful. Like a worm in his stomach, she said what was in his heart.

The resentment in her heart towards him instantly lessened.

He was the victim to begin with. Princess Anji had taken a fancy to him and refused to pounce on him. Instead, she turned to deal with someone who was only slightly related to Xie Xian. Her methods were indeed too sinister.

He didn’t know what General Xiao would think of the royal family after he returned to Jiankang if Princess Anji succeeded. They are risking their lives outside, and we are bullying their precious babies in the backyard.

However, Emperor Yu Heng was also annoyed by the severity of this matter.

Actually, the Eldest Princess’s handling of the matter was what Emperor Yu Heng wanted the most. Big matters were reduced to small matters, and small matters were reduced to even smaller matters. At most, they would replace a backstory in the future to give the Xiao Residence some face. If the matter really blew up, not only would the Xiao family lose face, but the royal family would also lose face.

The lady of the Xiao family was quite disciplined. She didn’t go against the law and directly stabbed him in front of him. He was very satisfied with this.

Otherwise, he would be the emperor’s army. Your sister bullied a junior like me.

It was a slap in the face.

However, how to deal with Princess Anji was a problem. If it was light, it wouldn’t hurt or itch, and Princess Anji wouldn’t remember. However, if it was serious, wouldn’t it make this matter artificially bigger and make it known to everyone? Would the royal family still want to lose face?

The Empress Dowager and Imperial Concubine Liu in the harem were crying and making a scene, forcing him to punish Anji. The previous dynasty even refused the usually gentle and refined Xie Xian and wanted him to uphold justice. To protect his reputation, Emperor Yu Heng, a dignified emperor, was sandwiched in the middle. Below him, there were still the Xiao family members silently watching everything.

“Tell me what to do, dear minister.” Emperor Yu Heng threw the difficult problem to Xie Xian..
