    Empress Xiao did not expect that she, who was once the most outstanding daughter of the Xiao family and the empress of the Daliang Dynasty, would one day end up in such a state. In order to protect her, her family took the initiative to leave the imperial court. One of her two children was drugged, and the other was born out of a vicious scheme.


    The person who drugged Xie Chi was found. She was the new consort Emperor Xiaowu took in. Empress Xiao tied that consort to the imperial garden and cut off her flesh piece by piece, watching her take herst breath. At that time, all the pce maids and eunuchs in the imperial garden almost fainted from watching the scene. However, Empress Xiao felt that she hadn’t had enough.


    Did Emperor Xiaowu know about this? Empress Xiao felt that after being husband and wife with Emperor Xiaowu for so many years, it was time to reevaluate him. Even if Emperor Xiaowu did not know, this consort was still brought in to deal with Empress Xiao.


    !!


    On one hand, Empress Xiao was wary of Emperor Xiaowu, but on the other hand, she pretended to be depressed and in low spirits because of what happened to her son.


    The fact that Xie Chi was drugged did not spread, but who knew if others would find out in the future? However, what Empress Xiao was most worried about was the future. The child in her stomach was about toe to this world. Emperor Xiaowu was deliberately distancing from Xie Chi because of the Xiao family. If anything happened to Xie Chi in the future, then the child in her stomach would take Xie Chi’s ce as the crown prince, but who could guarantee that her second son wouldn’t end up like Xie Chi? If it was a daughter, Empress Xiao did not want her to stay in the pce and be manipted by others every day.


    Empress Xiao was prepared to fight back. After she gave birth to her child, she wanted to seek justice for the Xiao family, Xie Chi, and the pain she had suffered. However, when her second child was just born, it would be inconvenient for her to fight with others. Her son might even be used by others to control her, so she decided to find a newborn to rece her son. The newborn could enjoy everything a prince could while her son would be sent far away.


    Empress Xiao handed her swaddled child to her trusted aide and said, “If he grows up to be an outstanding man one day, tell him that he can use schemes, but he must not y with people’s hearts.” She looked at her child onest time and said, “Go.”


    From Long Ye to the capital of Ming Qi, it would take half a year. As soon as Xie Yuan came to this world, he was on the run.


    In the Marquis’s Residence in the capital, Princess Yuqing was about to give birth.


    Empress Xiao’s trusted aide originally followed Empress Xiao’s orders to send Xie Yuan to an ordinary rich family to stay away from the power struggles of the imperial court. However, that day, when the trusted aide was asking around on the street, he identally found out that Princess Yuqing was about to give birth. The child’s name had already been chosen. It was Jingxing.


    The trusted aide thought that this was really a coincidence.


    That night, the wind was howling, and it rained heavily in the capital. The rain washed away the blood in the courtyard, the woman’s painful moans, and the baby’s gradually weak cries..
