What could Xie Xian say?

It was beautiful, but she was still scared. Either reason was embarrassing enough.

He thought that he had made it very clear and that his mother had perfectly understood his meaning. In the end, she had actually decided on him silently. How could he endure this?

His struggles, his forbearance, his love for her but not getting her, all seemed to have become a joke.

Xie Xian paced back and forth on the ground in frustration. Ah Niang’s army had hit the nail on the head, hitting his soft spot.

He didn’t want to acknowledge this marriage, right? Lady Xiao had already broken off the marriage once. After all, it was the Yuan Family’s fault last time. If he broke off again this time, wouldn’t Lady Xiao be ridiculed by the people of Jiankang City?

If she acknowledged him, with his body and his family, she had already jumped up and down and turned the world upside down before she even married him…

Mother had really calculated into his bones. It was fine if she didn’t attack, but once she attacked, she would kill him.

That night, Xie Xian tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. It was not until the next day that he walked out of his room with two big dark circles under his eyes. The warm sunlight was so piercing that he could barely open his eyes.

Suddenly, everything became clear.

Since it was already like this, what was the point of being pretentious?

To be able to fulfill his wish was a gift from the heavens.

Just like Xiao Baoxin said, a single glance was ten thousand years. If it was morning and evening, how many ten thousand years would that be?

He was afraid that he couldn’t protect her, so he tried his best to protect her with his life.

Xiao Baoxin was braver than him. Since she had already expressed her feelings, his mother and grandmother had risked everything for him. He had no right to be unhappy, and he had no right to disappoint them!

After making up his mind, Xie Xian suddenly felt like returning home. He wished he could immediately put down what he was doing and fly back to Jiankang.

Thus, Qingfeng and Mingyue saw that their master, who was still in a state of complete despair yesterday, was now full of energy after one night. It was as if he had been injected with chicken blood. His entire person was in high spirits. It was as if all the stars in the night sky were in his eyes, shining brightly.

Yu Ming hid thousands of overseas Chinese and took them in as subordinates, tenants, and slaves. This matter was ultimately still in the court system.

Daliang had set up many overseas Chinese prefectures, counties, and counties to settle the refugees who had fled from the north. The registered permanent residence of the refugees was white, while the registered permanent residence of those who were not from Daliang was yellow. They did not have to bear the burden of the country’s military service. This was originally a privilege given to the overseas Chinese, but although they were registered in Qiao County, most of them did not live there.

Most of the refugees wanted to return to their hometowns when they first came to Daliang. In order to appease them and use their military strength as capital for the Northern Expedition, the imperial court gave them special privileges. However, as time passed and the northern expedition failed many times, the idea of returning home gradually faded. At this time, there was a class division among the overseas Chinese. The upper class occupied the countryside villas, and the lower class became slaves.

The overseas Chinese did not have to bear the burden of being relocated, but their lives were the same as the original indigenous people. However, the burden was completely different, which easily led to conflicts. These conflicts appeared again and again. In the first two years after Daliang was established, the policy of cutting off the land was implemented. All residents, regardless of whether they were overseas Chinese or not, were registered in the official household register, and the preferential treatment for overseas Chinese was abolished.

This threatened the interests of the great clans.

Wang Xie, Yuan Xiao, and the other mainstays of the so-called overseas Chinese families were all immigrants. Cutting off people’s money was like killing their parents. One could imagine how cruel the struggle for interests was.

It had been forty years since the founding of Daliang, but it had only been implemented once, and that time, it was not implemented nationwide.

After all, the founding of the country relied on the main force of the North Prefecture Army. At that time, Xu, Yan, and Qing were excluded.

This time, Xie Xian felt that it was time to push it again, so he killed Yu Ming against all odds and fired the first shot of Earth Breaking. Emperor Yu Heng clearly knew his intentions and praised him greatly in his memorial. He also ordered Xu, Yan, and Qing to immediately implement the Earth Severing.

Xie Xian stayed in Kuaiji Prefecture to supervise the situation.

Within a few days, the news of Imperial Consort Liu’s death had already reached Kuaiji Prefecture. Along with this news was Emperor Yuheng’s imperial edict, ordering Xie Xian to return to Jiankang on the same day.

Along with Emperor Epsilon’s imperial edict, there was also a secret letter from the Xie family, which listed the movements of Jiankang City before and after the death of Imperial Concubine Liu.

Emperor Yu Heng’s deep affection for Noble Consort Liu was clearly beyond everyone’s expectations. He had even placed Noble Consort Liu’s corpse in the Yonghe Palace. The coffin was filled with embalming spices inside and outside, and it had been more than ten days since the funeral had begun. The courtiers were furious, but Emperor Yu Heng turned a deaf ear to them. Other than handling his daily government affairs, he would run to Noble Consort Liu’s palace whenever he was free and sit there for several hours.

The reason why the Emperor, who was immersed in grief, was still able to remember Xie Xian, who was far away in Kuaiji, was because Mother Xie was behind it.

Emperor Yu Heng saw that the sky was crying like a man in tears and always wanted to learn from the predecessors to write poems to reminisce. However, after writing a few poems, it was not satisfactory. After Mother Xie heard the rumors, she asked Pan Shuo to speak in front of Emperor Yu Heng and let Xie Xian write. It was better to give it a try.

When Xie Xian was young, he was extremely talented. Later, few poems came out, but Emperor Yuheng had read the poems when he was young, so he ordered him to return to Jiankang immediately. It seemed that it was difficult to accurately express his grief without talking to him face to face.

Xie Xian immediately packed up his luggage and left Xue Jing ‘er and another General Zheng to deal with the matter together to supervise the implementation of the plan.

Three days later, Xie Xian returned to Jiankang City. Only then did he personally witness how great Emperor Yu Heng’s demonic act was.

The entire Jiankang City was no longer as lively as before. The people had already ordered a ban on marriage, and the downtown area no longer dared to make a scene. The wine shops and tea houses were deserted. Ever since Emperor Yuheng dismissed officials who drank and had fun with their friends, no one dared to offend the emperor anymore.

Xie Xian had the Emperor’s orders, so he didn’t return to the Xie Clan. Instead, he went straight to the palace to report.

In the end, Emperor Yu Heng hid in the Eternal He Palace again. The palace servants did not dare to disturb the Emperor without permission and only passed the message to Wei Desheng. When Wei Desheng saw that the Emperor was crying and wiping his tears, he did not want to disturb him. He only asked someone to instruct Xie Xian to wait a little longer.

It wasn’t until Emperor Yu Heng held the coffin and chatted with the still-lifelike corpse of Imperial Consort Liu for a while, telling the true feelings of the past few years, that Wei Desheng found an opportunity to report the news of Xie Xian waiting outside the palace to Emperor Yu Heng before his teeth ached.

“Xie Chang Shi has returned. 1 think he is anxious about the emperor’s urgency and also for the sake of the emperor’s thoughts, he wrote a poem to express the emperor’s deep feelings.”Wei Desheng said in an extremely painful voice.

“.. Xuan.”

Wei Desheng was dumbfounded. Here?

“Xie Changshi is already waiting in Taiji Palace. He didn’t return to the Xie residence but came straight to the palace.”He carefully reminded the Emperor..
