Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Self-inflicted Sin

He actually wanted to spend his life with such a woman and had to guard against her mouth at all times. Just thinking about it made him feel aggrieved.

“I just don’t want you to be under someone else for the rest of your life.”She softened her tone. It was her fault. No matter how anxious she was, she should not forget that Yang Shao was a donkey. She had to go along with him. Her attitude had to be gentle, and her figure had to be soft.

“I’ve already spoken to Abba. I’ll give you a chance to go out on a mission. In Jiankang, it was very difficult for the general to develop. Once the politics changed, the general might be trapped in shallow water, and it would be difficult for him to display his martial arts.”

.. External appointment, this was okay.

Yang Shao finally calmed down a little, and his expression eased.

“It’s just that recently, the emperor…With the death of the imperial concubine, he had no interest in the government. He would have to wait. If the general had other methods or had a good grasp of the time, he might as well give it a try. It’s best if it’s Jiang Prefecture.”

“Alright, I got it.” Yang Shao knew what she meant. In her previous life, she had made a name for herself in Jiangzhou, and she wanted to follow the old path of her previous life.

However, how was the situation now the same as in his previous life?

Xiao Jing ‘ai could tell that he was impatient, but she pretended not to know.””Because I didn’t tell you everything before, ever since I found out that Noble Consort Liu was dead, I’ve always wanted to see you. Fortunately, I was able to see you today.”

“In my previous life, Noble Consort Liu clearly died two years later, but in this life, she died early. I’m afraid that the emperor won’t be able to hold on for long before the world changes.”

“In my previous life, did Imperial Concubine Liu also die from eating poisoned pancakes?””

Xiao Jing ‘ai shook her head.” It’s not that big of a deal. You know that many things in the royal family are secrets. It is very difficult for outsiders to know the truth. I only know that Noble Consort Liu will die in about two years. In another two years…”

She repeated what she knew.

“General, look, could it be Sister who did it?”

A brain was a good thing, but Yang Shao was regretful that this guy didn’t seem to have one.

“It can’t be her.” He was almost certain.

” Why wouldn’t she be a person who has been reborn? Although she doesn’t know the big and small things in Jiankang City, she still knows about the turmoil in the imperial court.”

Yang Shao didn’t want to stand in the snow with her like a fool and let people watch. If someone with ulterior motives heard a word or two, it wouldn’t be a good thing.

“Send me out of the residence. Let’s talk as we walk.”

Xiao Jing ‘ai was still unwilling to let it go. She could not bear to see Yang Shao believe in Xiao Baoxin so well. This was not her previous life. They had never lived together. Why did he think so? Just based on that pretty face?

“Why can’t it be her?” she asked as she walked. I think she’s the most likely candidate. Only she knew that Liu Guifei was the key. Her death would lead directly to Emperor Yuheng’s death two years later, and then the world would fall into chaos.”

Yang Shao took a deep breath.” You said it yourself. The Crown Prince will make a move on the Xiao family when he ascends the throne. What good would it do for her to kill Noble Consort Liu now?””

“It is precisely because she is an insider and knows that Noble Consort Liu’s death will inevitably lead to chaos in the world that she will not act rashly. Why? Did she replace Sikong Xiao’s death slow?”

Xiao Jing ‘ai finally understood the crux of the matter.

That’s right, if there was anyone who wished for Imperial Consort Liu’s death not to be brought forward, it would definitely be Xiao Baoxin.

A person who vowed to save the Xiao Family’s collapsing building indeed had no reason to kill Liu Guifei.

“Then, who is it?” “Crown Prince…” Xiao Jing ‘ai was confused.

Yang Shao raised his eyebrows.” Why do you think it’s the Crown Prince?”

“Noble Consort Liu’s death is the best for him. He will ascend the throne ahead of time.”

Although there was no reasoning, she got the answer simply and roughly-the truth was revealed by accident.

Of course, Yang Shao could not be sure that it was the Crown Prince who did it, but…How could there be such an inch? Noble Consort Liu was like the sun in the sky, jumping up and down to replace a wife for her son to rely on. It was obvious that she wanted to see the Crown Prince leave. Then, pa, she suddenly died, and died of poisoning.

He believed that the heavens would take her in if she choked on water, but how could it be so easy to be poisoned?

He was skeptical.

When they finally reached the gate of the manor, the snow was getting heavier. Although it snowed in Jiankang City in winter, there was rarely snow that could stand still. Generally, it was difficult to have snow on the ground. However, there was a thin layer of snow on the ground today.

“Alright, go back. I know what you said.”Yang Shao looked at the dark sky, his heart was also at a loss. He did not even know where to go.

He walked down the steps and suddenly turned to look at Xiao Jing ‘ai. She was still following him.

She was a little annoyed.” Go back. Remember not to say anything in the future. It’s inevitable that others will hear it. You have to know…” Protect yourself. Not to mention the Imperial family, even if your own people heard those words, I’m afraid it would be very difficult for you to escape unscathed.”

Xiao Jing ‘ai could tell that he didn’t want her to talk about changing the dynasty, mainly because she didn’t want to implicate him.

He had always been so selfish. Even if he said it in such a dignified manner, it was difficult to hide his true purpose. However, she still pretended that she didn’t know anything and put on a gentle and obedient expression.

“Alright, I know.” Then, she bit her lips and lowered her voice.

“I’ll wait for the day you marry me.”Shy and timid.

Yang Shao shivered. He was finished. Why did she think that this was an old woman in her forties or fifties?

He brought this upon himself and could not live.

He nodded and flicked his sleeve. He didn’t take away a single cloud, but only half of the snowflakes. Without looking back, he walked out of Qingxi Alley with his head held high.

Daliang’s horses were precious, and the scholar-bureaucrats loved oxcarts to be stable and safe. From the emperor to the common people, anyone who could afford a carriage had an oxcart. The imperial court even issued a decree to strictly define the stages and grades. The scholar-bureaucrats dressed the ox-cart in an extremely luxurious and comfortable manner, and even took pride in it.

With Yang Shao’s status, he could ride in an ox cart and raise cattle, but he didn’t like to ride in one. In fact, his family didn’t even have one.

The old bull paced around, slower than him. He would rather walk with his feet.

Especially after facing Xiao Jing ‘ai, the cold air seemed to have blown away the breath that was pressing down on his heart.

He walked all the way until he crossed the Qingxi Bridge and headed back to the newly bought residence of the young master.

Ever since he had been promoted, he had always wanted to change to a big house. His mother had suffered so much with him for so many years, so he still wanted to give her the best. Moreover, when he wanted to marry Lady Xiao, he couldn’t let her live in such a shabby house after marrying her. Therefore, he had been dragging his teeth to pay attention to cheap and big houses.

Although it was later changed to Xiao Jing ‘ai, he still bought the house and then gave the betrothal gifts. The money on hand was not enough.

If he hadn’t borrowed a hundred taels of silver from Pan Shuo, he probably wouldn’t be able to live his life anymore.

At the end of March, marrying Xiao Jingai would be another huge expense. Just thinking about it made him feel suffocated.

Every time he thought of his previous life, Xiao Baoxin, the daughter of a dignified Sikong, had married a penniless Han clan brat like him. What kind of life had she lived? It was no different from a world-shaking change for her.

However, when he was successful, he had hooked up with Xiao Jing ‘ai, her cousin. Did he have a heart to do such a heartless thing?

“General Yang?”

Suddenly, a cow cart stopped beside them. The curtain of the cart was lifted, revealing a knife-like face with long eyebrows. He was in his twenties and had a mountain beard.

The man smiled.” I can’t believe I met you here. It’s fate. If you don’t mind, would you like to have a cup of wine with me?””

Yang Shao recognized him. He was the Crown Prince’s servant, Yin Qing, an official of the Eastern Palace..
