Chapter 739: Chapter 739-Can’t be Fished

Xiao Baoxin was shocked. Even Chu Lingzi could tell?

Was it that obvious?

“I heard that Consort He Shu was killed by the Empress.”Although Chu Lingzi had lowered her voice, she still made Xiao Baoxin cover his mouth. This was going to die. This was the palace, and there were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers. How could they talk about the Empress behind her back?

“Silence.” Xiao Baoxin shot a look outside. The walls had ears.

Chu Lingzi’s mouth was covered. The only thing she was glad about was that her tongue moved quickly. Otherwise, if she bit down, blood would immediately splatter three feet and she would become mute.

He didn’t need to tell her that she was banned from speaking.

Nodding his head like pounding garlic, it seemed that Xiao Baoxin had also heard the news. Otherwise, how could he react so quickly and shut her mouth in an instant?

There was no such thing as finding a replacement for Empress Xiao. Judging from her interaction with Empress Xiao just now, there was a gap between the two of them.

Otherwise, she knew Xiao Baoxin very well. She was straightforward, but Xiao Baoxin’s guts could not be twisted too much. His temper was even worse than hers, and his attacks were even more ruthless than hers. Other people used their brains to command their hands, but this sister’s hands were faster than her brain. Without thinking, she reached out her hands first.

Xiao Baoxin was a straightforward person. Whoever he was on good terms with and who he was not on good terms with, it was all on the surface, and it was clear at a glance.

If Empress Xiao invited Xiao Baoxin into the Palace a few times, Xie Xian was worried about Xiao Baoxin’s stomach, then it was reasonable. He was originally a person who pampered his wife excessively, so it was normal for him to pout at anyone for Xiao Baoxin. It was not surprising.

But just now, in the Peaceful Life Palace, Chu Lingzi had heard Xiao Baoxin’s words.

Don’t look at how Xie Xian took Xiao Baoxin’s belly seriously and was extremely nervous. However, Xiao Baoxin was a loyal person. Empress Xiao had stayed in the Xie residence before, and when they played together, it was fine. She didn’t believe that there was nothing wrong with Empress Xiao, yet Xiao Baoxin directly retorted on the spot. It was obvious that Empress Xiao wanted the two of them to talk privately, but Xiao Baoxin just wouldn’t do it.

There must be a reason for this.

“Wuwuwu.” Chu Lingzi’s finger poked Xiao Baoxin’s hand that was covering her mouth.

Xiao Baoxin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry after listening to Chu Lingzi’s inner thoughts.

.. Alright, at least Chu Lingzi wasn’t stupid. She had seen what she needed to see and tasted what she needed to taste.

However, she did not directly deny the fact that her hands were faster than her brain. It was still up for discussion.

“You, send me back to the Xie residence. My stomach is uncomfortable. “Xiao Baoxin knew that Chu Lingzi couldn’t hold it in. If he really didn’t want her to say it, she had to say it. Why don’t the two of them have a good chat together and complain about everything that needed to be complained about? They couldn’t just dump everything outside.

Unexpectedly, Chu Lingzi’s eyes widened.

” Your stomach is really uncomfortable. Then why didn’t you ask the imperial physician to come over and take a look?”

Under Xiao Baoxin’s murderous gaze, Chu Lingzi finally shut her mouth.

After a while, she mumbled,”I’m just afraid that your stomach is really uncomfortable. Don’t you know what kind of person your Xie Pushe is? I really didn’t protect you well. Although I’m also pregnant, I’ll definitely complain.” “It’s not really uncomfortable.” she whispered.

Xiao Baoxin looked up at the sky and sighed. He couldn’t move it.

This fellow was just short of directly telling everyone that she, Xiao Baoxin, was pretending to be sick to hide from Empress Xiao.

A pig teammate.

Fortunately, she was still able to listen to his persuasion. Under Xiao Baoxin’s murderous gaze, she quietly walked the entire journey until they left the palace. Chu Lingzi had the Xi family’s ox-cart wait outside the palace to follow behind the Xie family. She and Xiao Baoxin got into the same cart and went straight to the Xie family.

This time, she had learned her lesson. Even on the way, Chu Lingzi held back all the nonsense that was spreading around. It was only until the Xie residence, when she was lying on the bed with Xiao Baoxin and eating iced grapes, that she spat them out, along with the grape seeds.

They had originally wanted to invite Xie Wan and Wang Qiang over, but Xie Wan was undergoing Madam Yuan’s devil training. Wang Qiang’s adopted son, Chu An, had eaten something bad this morning and his stomach was uncomfortable. The two of them did not have time.

As for Twelfth Aunt Wang, although she was a good person, Xiao Baoxin always remembered that Xie Xian had reservations about Xie Qjng. As a result, she followed his wife and did not share many things with Twelfth Aunt Wang. She strived to be consistent with Xie Xian. It was to prevent Xie Xian from guarding against Xie Qing, while she was in the back of the house, pouring beans to Twelfth Aunt Wang and selling him out.

However, in the end, Chu Lingzi and Xiao Baoxin were in cahoots and had the most interactions.

Where did he hear the gossip from? It was probably from his in-laws.

What Chu Lingzi had heard was nothing new. It was just the words released by Consort He Shu’s family.

If Emperor Yong Ping could find out, the He family could also find out. However, Emperor Yong Ping chose to believe Empress Xiao, while the He family did not.

Of course, the He family had reason to not believe it. Originally, Empress Xiao’s child was miscarried by the He family, and then the trouble was diverted to Imperial Concubine Chu.

Empress Xiao didn’t believe it. With a single strike, she killed Consort Shu, who was sent into the palace by the He family. One corpse and two lives. Wasn’t this too simple an exchange of hostages?

All the evidence and clues were laid out on the table. Why should he not believe it just because it was too direct?

The He family had bitten Empress Xiao to death, but they could not win Emperor Yong Ping’s disbelief.

Emperor Yong Ping was delusional. He had a feeling that the aristocratic families were in a mess. They would target whoever was pregnant. It could be the Qi family or the Chu family.

After Consort He Shu’s death, Emperor Yong Ping had even less of a good impression of the aristocratic families, and even the concubines sent into the palace by the aristocratic families. Recently, the ones he favored were all small families with no foundation.

This made the He family quite speechless. How could they beat down Emperor Yong Ping? Those small families were not safe either. They might even rely on the high-ranking concubines in the palace and the noble families.

Before Consort He Shu died, there were many people who were weaker than her.

Of course, there was no way to tell the emperor about this.

Was the He family going to continue in the future?

After scheming against the Empress, scheming against the Emperor, the only one in the palace who could talk, the Shu Concubine, had died. The He family could not give up this part of the palace. At least among the concubines in the palace that were controlled by them, there were those who were favored, and there were those who were pregnant, but they did not die.

However, the He family suffered a loss in silence and lost a Di daughter. The He family did it, but Consort He Shu’s mother, Emperor Yong Ping’s aunt, did not do it.

At least on the surface, He Liushi was enduring, but behind her back, she was still pointing her sword at Empress Xiao.

Consort Qi De’s mother, Lady Qi Xie, was even more displeased. Both the He and Xiao families were no good. There was no reason to let Consort Qi De’s miscarriage go, and the Qi family had to take the blame and provoke the Emperor’s suspicion.

At the same time, they also spread the news that Empress Xiao was the one who did it.

If there was no peace in the harem, there would be no peace between the aristocratic families outside the palace. Who would not fight public opinion? This was the specialty of aristocratic families. Since the Xi family didn’t send any daughters into the palace, they became the most neutral spectators.
