As for the legitimate daughter of the third branch of the Chu family. Imperial Consort Chu, who was sent into the palace by the Chu family, Chu Lingzt and the two of them did not like each other. Basically, the two of them did not interact after Imperial Consort Chu entered the palace.
âFrom what I see, it seems like Empress Xiao really did it.âChu Lingzi
concluded.
Xiao Baoxin sighed.
âNo one can be sure who it is. After all, there is no evidence. Everything is just speculation or inference. I just⦠Just as you thought, people change after entering the palace. At the very least, I think Empress Xiao has every reason to act. But if you want me to produce evidence, I definitely donât have any.
âWeâre pregnant, so itâs better not to get involved in all the trouble in the palace. Who knows when weâll get involved? Itâs fine if we hurt ourselves, but if we hurt our stomachs, itâs not worth it.â
âSo, you didnât see me? Xuanhui locked me up in the residence as soon as I was pregnant, afraid that I would cause trouble on impulse.â
âThis time, if it wasnât for the grand wedding of the eldest princess of Xuancheng, and if it wasnât for my brother, I definitely wouldnât have entered the palace. The palace is too chaotic. Listen to me. Itâs better to take care of the fetus. Donât get involved in the palaceâs matters.â
Although he didnât say it to Chu Lingzi, Xiao Baoxin had said everything he could.
That was all she could say.
Indeed, Empress Xiao did not have any evidence. If there was evidence, wouldnât the Emperor directly deal with Empress Xiao?
âDonât go around talking about this matter with your mouth wide open. If the Empress or the Emperor were to find fault with something without evidence, youâ¦What should he do? If I catch you and scold you, itâs not enough to embarrass you. You donât have any evidence.â
Chu Lingzi nodded as she listened.
âAs expected, the person who stays close to vermilion is red, and the person who stays close to ink is black. After marrying Xie Pushe, our eldest lady, with her eloquence, her IQhas also risen sharply. Donât worry, Iâll just⦠And Seventh Madameâ¦Thereâs also Aunt Fifteen, Aunt Zu Four, andâ¦â She was counting
with her fingers.
Xiao Baoxin could finally tell that he had not poured his heart and lungs out and poured everything Xie Xian had told her to Chu Lingzi. This person was really a blabbermouth.
Of course, he was talking about the people that Chu Lingzi trusted and had good relations with.
The problem was that there was another group of people whom she trusted to be on good terms with, and another group of people who she trusted to be on good terms withâ¦Therefore, gossip was spreading everywhere. When they said it, a few of them wanted to spread the rumors to others. The problem was that one spread it to another, and it spread.
âAnyway, be careful. Donât tell anyone about this.â
âWhether itâs what I said before or what I said, you know what youâre doing.âXiao Baoxin reminded.
Even though he knew that it would be useless to say it, he still did his duty.
What if he really listened to his advice?
âDonât worry, I wonât tell anyone what youâve told me.
âEven Seventh Madame canât say it?â she asked.
Xiao Baoxin took a deep breath. Alright, she had returned safely from Empress Xiaoâs side. She was afraid that she would be angered to the core by Chu Lingzi in the Xie Manor.
âSure.â
Fifteen Niangâ¦Chu Lingzi didnât ask, but Xiao Baoxin was already on the verge
of going berserk.
She was a pregnant woman herself and knew that pregnant women were emotionally unstable. Of course, she was unstable because she was happy and sad at times. Who knew what would happen to Xiao Baoxin? What if he became more irritable at times? What should she do?
She was pregnant, so she couldnât really get beaten up.
âAlright, then you take good care of her. Iâll go talk to Aunt Fifteen for a while. I havenât seen her for a long time, and I miss her.âBefore Chu Lingzi left, she added,âDonât worry. I wonât say anything that I shouldn t.
Xiao Baoxin,â! believe you!â
Throw!
Itâs up to you to say it or not!

âRecently, I have heard quite a few rumors about the Palace. Quite a lot of them are unfavorable to the Empress. Of course, I donât believe in evil, but some people should be killed.â
At the same time, Yang shi and Empress Xiao also talked about the rumors outside the palace.
Naturally, she would not be as straightforward as Chu Lingzi.
At the venue of the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng, Empress Xiao and the Jiangxia Princess Consort, Lady Yang, started chatting.
âThe Empress is kind, but there are some things that must be dealt with by lightning.â âWeâre from prestigious families, and weâve all married into the royal family. Our status is there.ââ
âBut nowâ¦Iâm not saying some unpleasant things about the Xie family in front of the Empress, but the Xie family is truly the only one that is powerful. They have their hands in the court and cover the sky. In the Inner Palace, I donât think they respect the Empress much.â
âAlthough the Empress is related to the Xie family when she marries, once she enters the palace and becomes the Empress, her status has to be distinguished.â
âEldest Lady Xiao, arenât you being too arrogant? Itâs because the Empress is kind that the Empress can endure it, itâs not something that should be done.â
âLady Xiao has always been like this.â Empress Xiao smiled.
These words revealed his attitude.
When Yang shi heard this, she smiled.
âYouâre right. Her father is Sikong, the Changsheng General of Daliang. One of her brothers is the governor of Jiangzhou, and the other brother is married to the Eldest Princess. Lady Xiao is also married into the Xie family, the head of the aristocratic families.â
âOn the other hand, our royal family has been completely dominated by the
Xie, Chu, and Xi aristocratic families.â
âWhen did the harem become so chaotic? Iâm going to be poked into a sieve.â Madam Yang said in a low voice,â I donâtbelieve in the gossip about the Empress outside. To put it bluntly, the Empress came from the Xie family when she got married. The countryâs husband is nowâ¦â Who could the Empress rely on in the Palace?â
â It is not the Empress who has such a great power.
âThe Princess Consort understands me.â Empress Xiao smiled bitterly.
King Jiangxia was Emperor Yongpingâs great-uncle according to seniority, and Empress Xiao called him great-aunt. But Yang shi was too young, only twenty-seven years old. Her round face also appeared young, so Empress Xiao did not seriously try to climb up the social ladder. She really could not bring herself to call her that.
âIf I really had such power, would I have been aborted without knowing it? The Emperor also believes in me. Unfortunately, everyoneâs words are useless. The Chu family, the He family, and even the Qi family are all powerful. No matter who says something about me, I canât defend myself.
âThe Fifth King and I naturally believe in the Empress. Otherwise, even if the Empress married from the Xie family, I would not have said this, how can a distant relative be separated? We believe that the Empress is innocent and has been used as a weapon, so we canât help but say something fair.
âNiangniang, the chaos of war has been pacified, the Xie and Xiao families can no longer dominate.â
âAlthough the Song and Liang royal families have experienced many rebellions and many brothers have killed each other, there are still loyal royal families who are willing to serve the Emperor and protect the peace of the Liang Dynasty. Today, behind the Five Great Kings âback, I give Your Majesty a piece of advice. I hope that the Emperor will do more for the Song and Liang Dynasties and not trust Xie Xiao alone.
âWhether itâs the Five Great Kings, the Huaiyang King, or the other Great Kings, weâre all family after all. Weâre more trustworthy than outsiders.â âAs the saying goes, if you recommend a virtuous person, you wonât avoid your relatives. My family is the Yang family of Mount Tai, and the Empressâs family is the Xiao family of Lanling.âYang shi looked into Empress Xiaoâs eyes and said.
