    The child born to Princess Yuqing died right after birth. The aide holding the baby made a decision that would have an unimaginable impact on the future of the world.


    From then on, Xie Jingxing became the young heir of the Marquis of Lin’an and continued his life as the son of Empress Xiao and Princess Yuqing.


    Not long after, the family that was originally chosen by the aide to raise Xie Jingxing was wiped out overnight. People in the Daliang Dynasty knew very well that Emperor Xiaowu had discovered it and sent people thousands of miles away to eliminate the possible threat, but because of a freakbination of factors, Xie Jingxing managed to escape this life and death cmity.


    !!


    It was as if it was destined to be the case.


    With Concubine Fang and her two sons causing trouble, the Xie family was also in a mess. Xie Jingxing could only rely on Xie Ding’s favor to survive. However, Xie Ding’s favor might not be a good thing. Xie Ding was not in the mansion all year round. It was already difficult for a young man like Xie Jingxing to survive in the mouth of wolves. If not for the help of Empress Xiao’s trusted aide, he would probably have long be ashes. Not only that, but the emperor of Ming Qi also secretly suppressed the Xie family.


    Fortunately, Xie Jingxing grew up safely. He was grateful to the aide for putting him in such a dangerous environment because it taught him to be calm in face of danger. He was cynical and enjoyed riding his horse through the streets and alleys of the capital. He was mischievous and gave people a headache, but just as Empress Xiao had expected, he really grew into an indomitable man who could fight alone. He had never used other people’s feelings. On the surface, he was indifferent, but he respected everyone.


    What about Empress Xiao?


    Over the years, Empress Xiao missed her youngest son and was heartbroken by what happened to her eldest son. She even decided to fight back.


    Aren’t you most afraid that this country will fall into the hands of the Xiao family? Isn’t the throne what you care about the most? Then I’ll take everything away from you and trample it under my feet. At that time, will you feel a trace of regret for what you did today? Let’s see.


    Empress Xiao was the daughter of the Xiao family and was strategically minded like a man. She was motivated by her anger, but Emperor Xiaowu had already begun to age and go downhill. The consorts in the harem had distracted him, and his ambition gradually faded because he thought that he had eliminated all threats.


    Life springs from sorrow and cmity, deathes from ease and pleasure.


    When Emperor Xiaowu died, only Empress Xiao was by his side. Empress Xiao said, “Your Majesty, don’t worry. We’re husband and wife. I won’t let you be too lonely on the way to hell. I’ll get all the consorts you favored and your children to apany you apart from the crown prince.”


    Emperor Xiaowu’s eyes widened.


    “Also.” Empress Xiao seemed to have thought of something. She leaned over and whispered into his ear, “Our youngest son is doing well. Back then, Your Majesty sent people to kill him in Ming Qi, but they killed the wrong person. In a few years, when the imperial court is stable, I will bring him back to im his title.”


    “Have a safe journey to hell, Your Majesty. The throne is no longer yours.” Empress Xiao stood in front of the bed with a gentle smile.


    Emperor Xiaowu died with his eyes wide open.


    After that, Empress Xiao became Empress Dowager Xiao.


    Xie Chi became Emperor Yong Le.


    Xie Jingxing was still in the capital of Ming Qi, exploring the world alone. He found out about his background, but he was warned that his father was hunting him down, so he could not act rashly.


    Just like she said, Empress Xiao really cleaned up the harem of the Daliang


    Dynasty. Those who once targeted her and her son were buried along with


    Emperor Xiaowu. She said to Xie Chi, who had already be Emperor Yong Le, “I’m old and can’t do much, but I can at least give you a clean harem. From now on, there will be no viins in this harem. You just have to promise me one thing. Keep this empire in your hands and never let it decline.”


    The Lu and Ye families were Emperor Xiaowu’s trusted aides. They were extremely cunning. Because of their power, it was not easy to uproot them.


    Emperor Yong Le had been secretly nning to deal with these two families.


    Empress Dowager Xiao passed away two yearster. When she was reading the memorial submitted by the Lu family, she suddenly fell to the ground and did not wake up again. The Gao family said that it was because she was mentally and physically exhausted and died. However, the day before yesterday, she was still asking Emperor Yong Le in good spirits if he had any ideas how they should hold the grand ceremony this year. Perhaps they could think of a way to get Xie Jingxing to return to the Daliang Dynasty once.


    Life was unpredictable. In her life, she sadly did not have the chance to reunite with Xie Jingxing.


    From then on, they would be separated forever..
