Chapter 921 - 921-Falling Out

As she spoke, Madam Xie felt guilty.

After all, the old man was getting on in years. He was no longer as high-spirited and strong as he used to be. If he could not jump around, he could still fight.

With her by his side, he could at least eat and drink daily, take medicine when he was sick, and wear clothes when he was cold.

His heart became more and more determined, and he couldn’t wait to leave.

“Since you’re all here today, I just wanted to let you know that Xuzhou has everything you want anyway. I didn’t bring anything with me. I’ll leave tomorrow morning.”

She was her real mother.

“There’s no rush. Although Xuzhou is not that far away, it’s not something that can be done in a few days.”Xiao Baoxin advised,” Don’t be in such a hurry. Mother has been living like a prince for so many years. We don’t know the situation in Xuzhou. Since we are going, we should prepare more.””

“Yes, yes, mother, Baoshu still doesn’t know.”

The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng also said,”Dingbang doesn’t know either. If he knew, he would definitely cause a ruckus.” Once mother leaves, she won’t care about our Dingbang anymore…”

“It’s not that I don’t care. Your father needs me more.”Once Madam Xie said it, the decision was made. No one could persuade her.

Xiao Baoxin did not expect to come over and persuade his biological mother to grow wings and fly away. It was beyond her expectations.

“Mother, wait, I’ll go find Baoshu!”The eldest princess of Xuancheng could not persuade him anymore, so she went to find her husband in a hurry.

Xiao Baoshu heard this.” That won’t do. Mother can’t go by herself. Bring Dingbang along.””

When the eldest princess of Xuancheng heard this, she couldn’t keep her mother-in-law and even gave up her son. That wouldn’t do.

She didn’t care where she went to live comfortably, but who knew when a fight would break out in Xuzhou?

The basic necessities of life were not as good as Jiankang’s, so he had to disagree.

“Our sister said that she would do whatever she wants. She can’t even persuade mother, so we have no chance. I’m not looking for that scolding!” This time, Xiao Baoshu did not support the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng.

Even though he said that, he was not brainless. If his biological mother should not go, not to mention his sister stopping her, even if his brother-in-law came over, he could persuade her with just a sentence.

His brother-in-law was very thoughtful. Perhaps it was his brother-in-law’s idea for his mother to leave. He would not rush up and be a fool.

So be it. There was nothing good about Jiankang City.

Xiao Baoshu thought deeply, but he couldn’t tell his wife. The Emperor was her biological brother. If he said too much, he would sell out his family.

In the end, no matter if they pretended to stop them or if they really wanted to stop them, no one stopped them. They did not manage to leave the next day, and Xiao Baoshu stayed behind. They loaded more than ten carts with food and clothing, and Xie Xian and Xiao Baoxin also sent them off more than ten miles away.

When Emperor Yong Ping heard of Madam Xie’s decision, he sent another 500 guards to escort her to Xu Prefecture. It was considered official approval.

When Princess Lujiang saw that Madam Xie had gone to Xuzhou with the army, her heart was revived. He personally begged Empress Xiao.

After the recent farce between the Emperor and Empress, they had miraculously reconciled. Empress Xiao’s position in the harem was still stable, so she had also run to Jiaofang Palace to plead for mercy.

Empress Xiao didn’t know about the Emperor’s schemes with Yang Shao, but she could see through the clues. The Emperor had rejected Princess Lujiang several times, which was to guard against Yang Shao.

In the past, he relied on Yang Shao, but now he actually held his mother, daughter-in-law, and daughter hostage in Jiankang.

Not to mention others, even Empress Xiao looked down on Emperor Yong Ping’s pettiness.

But there was nothing she could do. She had just gotten together with the emperor and could not be stubborn. She could only reject him on the grounds that the child was young.

Princess Lujiang wailed in the Jiaofang Hall.”Why can’t I go and find my husband? Madam Xie is so old, and the husband and wife are not separated. What was the reason? My husband is loyal to the country and is deeply trusted by Imperial Brother. Why is it that Imperial Brother won’t let me follow him? Does he no longer trust my husband? Are you keeping me as a hostage?”

Since it was useless to say nice things, she might as well just shed all pretense of cordiality.

Princess Lujiang understood. If that was really the case, once Yang Shao really did something inappropriate, she and her daughter, including her mother-in-law, might be packed and cooked together. They wouldn’t even be able to see the sun the next day.

It would be better to shed all pretense of cordiality now and tear off each other’s loincloth. If you let go, then let go. If you don’t let go, I won’t give you face.

If you can do it, don’t be afraid of others saying it.

Anyway, Yang Shao was still the provincial governor. The emperor could not kill her just because of a few words.

The Gaoliang County Furen had been killed by the Emperor and Empress. No matter which one it was, the reputation would be tarnished. She didn’t believe that someone who had just killed someone who had done great service to the court and the country could kill her so quickly. Unless the emperor was bored and wanted to cause more trouble.

Empress Xiao frowned. She hated Emperor Yong Ping to death. With that little bit of scheming, she was afraid that she would not be able to find him even if he fell to the ground.

“What are you talking about? Where did you hear this gossip from? The emperor has few brothers and sisters, and all of them are loved. He kept you because he was afraid that you would suffer outside. It’s not like you don’t know that the world has been at war for the past two years. How could a place be safer than the capital?”

“The hardships outside are unimaginable. You still have a child with you. Don’t you think about yourself and the child?”

Princess Lujiang was determined and said,””I would rather suffer than reunite with my husband. We’ve only been married for a few years and we’ve already separated. If he waited for a few years, he would probably have a lot of sons outside. Imperial brother is doing this for my own good, so he let our family reunite.”

He was still very unyielding.

Empress Xiao took a deep breath.” You’re really…” What a waste of your royal brother’s heart.”

Princess Lujiang wiped her tears. She did not want to hide the peace for them.”In any case, the outside world is saying that Imperial Brother is suspicious of my Fuma and has detained us, mother, and mother-in-law in Jiankang as hostages.”

Empress Xiao choked. This guy really wanted to shed all pretense of cordiality, so she couldn’t persuade him with good words.

“Don’t listen to the rumors of outsiders. Some people just can’t wait for our Imperial Family to be of one mind. Didn’t you think that your Imperial Brother had single-handedly promoted Prince Consort Yang to where he is today? He even married our Princess of Daliang to him. There were some things that you had to know in your heart.”

“I won’t try to persuade you. Go back and think about whether it’s reasonable. I’ll talk to your Imperial Brother again and see what his attitude is. Don’t let us have a good reputation for being heartless.”

Only then did he send Princess Lujiang out of Jiaofang Palace.

Princess Lujiang did not enter the palace this time for the good of everyone. If she did not give her permission, she had made up her mind to come in with a smile and go out with a cry. As long as the empress did not find it embarrassing!
