My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Chapter 945-Dust Settled

Sure enough, as Xie Xian had said, just as dawn broke, the palace had already sent letters to the various manors, asking the Fourth Rank and above women to enter the palace to mourn. Except for the elderly and the sick, all of them were present.

Mother Xie is old, Empress Xiao specially instructed her not to enter the palace, but to mourn in the mansion.

The rest of the people in the residence, other than the widowed Wang Qiang, Lady Cai, Lady Wang, Xiao Baoxin, and Twelfth Mother Wang had all entered the palace.

On the sixth day of August of the seventh year of Yongping, the emperor was buried.

On the seventh day, the courtiers and foreign women entered the palace to mourn.

When Xiao Baoxin arrived, the women waiting outside Taiji Palace were already gone. The sky was a little overcast, and the wind was blowing with dark clouds, as if it was going to rain at any moment.

The gate of the palace was not opened for a long time, and everyone was worried.

Although Xiao Baoxin had sharp ears and eyes, the sound of the wind was too loud and there were too many people outside, so he couldn’t hear clearly for a moment. He only felt that the hall was quite noisy and couldn’t hear clearly.

“.. What happened?”

Weeping was divided by class, unlike the past when families gathered together.

Because of Xie Xian’s high status, most of the people around Xiao Baoxin were older women. Outside, she had to address him as Old Madam, Grand Madam, or at the very least, she had to address him as Aunt.

The person who spoke was the wife of Minister Xi of the Ministry of Justice. She was young and could not keep her cool.

Minister Qi’s wife, Xie Shi, was easygoing and did not hesitate to say,”Maybe it’s because the arrangements weren’t thorough and they’re adjusting.”

Pan Shuo was currently the secretary supervisor, and he also had the face of Empress Dowager Pan. His wife, Madam Xu, squeezed in front of Xiao Baoxin and whispered to her,””I heard from the supervisor that Imperial Consort Chu doesn’t seem to be convinced…”

Pan Shuo and Xie Xian were the same. Xie Xian rushed back to his residence and immediately returned to the palace, fearing for his life. Pan Shuo had suffered a lot of shock. How could he relieve his worries when he returned to the Pan residence? Naturally, he pulled his wife and told her everything. He was really afraid. It was not impossible for blood to splatter on the spot.

The plebeian Wang family had killed many people on the spot. Xue Shu had died at that time. He was a meritorious official of the Liang Empire, a warlord who was on par with Sikong Xiao.

Pan Shuo only felt that the imperial family was too far away and too dangerous to reach. It was not easy to control the distance between them.

Now that his wife had entered the palace to cry, the only order was to follow Lady Xiao closely. Even if it was really chaotic, with Xiao Baoxin around, Pan Shuo believed that no one could hurt his wife.

At that time, although he was afraid, Jiang Xia Prince had bitten Xie Xian to death. It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought of stepping forward to speak up for Xie Xian, but Xie Xian had stopped him with a look.

She told him firmly and without a doubt that he didn’t need to interfere.

With just one glance, he believed that Xie Xian was a righteous person.

He didn’t believe in traitors.

When the time was almost up, the Princess of South County, who was sitting in the front row, was annoyed.

The Princess of South County was twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. She had almond-shaped eyes and peach-shaped cheeks. She was originally very delicate, but she often had a cold face, giving people a feeling that she was a thousand miles away.

She didn’t mind others ‘opinion of her at all. She rarely interacted with people, whether it was for royal affairs or after marrying into the Chu family. In the past, the Eldest Princess of Kuaiji was keen on holding banquets and loved to be lively. The only one she couldn’t invite was the Princess of South County.

Who cares if you’re in a clamor outside while others are living their own cold little days?

But now that the Emperor was dead, she couldn’t avoid this.

The Princess of South County ignored the rustling sounds around her and dragged her long gown up the steps step by step. The eunuch had wanted to stop her, but the Princess of South County pushed him away without paying any attention to him. Before the other eunuchs could react, she pushed the door open.

Imperial Concubine Chu was still wailing in the mourning hall. The eunuch and serving girl who was pulling her had a bloody face and a bloody bite on her hand.

The Princess of South County frowned. She couldn’t bear to see such a scene.

Empress Xiao was so angry that she asked someone to stroke her back. This troublemaker had shed all pretense of cordiality. Did he want to hug her to death?

The Princess of South County did not allow Empress Xiao to see her in person. She went around to Imperial Consort Chu, who was being held by a palace maid. She raised her arm and gave Imperial Consort Chu a hard slap. Instantly, five fingerprints were imprinted on her delicate little face.

In such a noisy mourning hall, Imperial Concubine Chu’s cries, which sounded like a pig being slaughtered, suddenly stopped.

Even the princes were shocked. They looked at each other and did not dare to cry anymore.

Hibiscus retracted her hand. If she had been a little later, she would have knocked him out.

However, she always remembered that she was Xiao Baoxin’s maid, not Empress Xiao’s. She didn’t dare to make a move that she shouldn’t, for fear of bringing disaster to Xiao Baoxin. After all, her wife was famous and her face was not completely unrecognizable. If someone recognized her, it would not be worth it for her to be hated by Imperial Concubine Chu and the Chu family.

” Are you done fooling around?!”

The Princess of South County had a cold face, and her voice was even colder than her face.”You call yourself a noble lady? Is it worthy of your surname? The Emperor’s posthumous edict is recognized by the royal family, the six ministers, the entire court, and even the Chu family. Why must it be passed down to your son?”

“Are you older or is the emperor older?”

“The Emperor has a posthumous edict, so we must follow it! If you continue to cause trouble, you will only embarrass the Chu family! What kind of bullsh * t Imperial Concubine had appeared? She did not care about the big picture and did not know the big picture! There are hundreds of women waiting outside. Do you want the world to see my Song family as a joke?!”

If Imperial Concubine Chu didn’t make a fuss, how would she know that the Chu family couldn’t be relied on?

She couldn’t spread the news at all. They were all stopped by Empress Xiao and Xie Xian.

It was not easy to get one, but it was the cold-hearted Princess of South County again.

He had been domineering in the Chu family, but now he had to bring up what it meant to embarrass the Chu family. What he lost was the throne!

“The Emperor clearly promised me that the Empress would not give birth for six years. He would pass the throne to my son. You’re not from the Chu family, so don’t get involved.”

“Empty words have no evidence. Do you understand what these words mean?”The Princess of South County snapped,” Why don’t you repent now? Chu Fuma’s guard captured the traitor and contributed to the country. How can we allow you to speak nonsense in the harem and ruin the reputation of our Chu family? Why am I not a member of the Chu family? Fuma Chu is my husband, so I am a member of the Chu family!

Chu Jiuniang, if you go crazy again, don’t blame me for turning against you!”

“If you continue to cause trouble, the Chu family will immediately draw a clear line between us! Do you believe in it?

Imperial Concubine Chu could not believe it.

“Your Imperial Consort!” The Princess of South County corrected.

The emperor was already dead.

No one made decisions for her.

When the dust settled, he had to admit defeat. If you don’t admit it, you won’t have a chance to turn the tables. If you can’t see the timing, you can’t see the pros and cons. If you don’t have the skills, you have to admit it!

Empress Xiao and the Princess of South County looked at each other.

The Princess of South County took the lead to bow and leave, leaving Empress Xiao’s hand hanging in the air.
