My Ferocious Tigress Wife - Chapter 714
Doing the Opposite
Translator: 549690339
Empress Xiao’s expression was shocked. Clearly, she did not expect Emperor Yong Ping to do this with her.
“Your Majesty…”
What should she reply to?
We are different? Different?
At the very least, she was at an absolute disadvantage. Moreover, her father was dead, her child was gone, her husband did not dote on her, and her mother-in- law…Forget it, her mother-in-law was long gone. She was all alone, unlike him, who had many wives and children waiting to be born. She had already booked at least three to five children.
But forget it. If he said it was the same, so be it.
He was the boss. He had the final say.
“Of course I believe you.” Emperor Yong Ping pulled Empress Xiao to the side.
Before the Emperor entered the palace hall, he had already chased out all the palace maids and eunuchs, leaving only the two of them in the huge hall. Emperor Yong Ping held Empress Xiao’s hand, his heart unprecedentedly calm.
“I can believe in you, I can only believe in you, Ning.””
Empress Xiao was slightly moved, tears welling up in her eyes.
“Liu Lang.” His heart turned cold.
“Your Majesty…”
“Father-in-law is dead. I know you’re sad. But we are still young, and we still have a lot of time in the future. You have to look forward. We will eventually have our own children. Just like you said, you are the Empress of the Middle Palace. The child you give birth to will be the legitimate son of the Middle Palace, the heir to the throne. The future of the country will be inherited by him. This will never change. You have to pull yourself together.”
Empress Xiao was shocked. The Emperor was really generous.
He couldn’t continue acting. He had acted out.
The Emperor was also at his wit’s end. Did he want to join forces with her, or did he want to use her as a chess piece?
However, he still had to show a moved expression on his face.
It was just that her acting skills were not up to par. Her eyes were too shocked and stunned.
Fortunately, it was still in line with the current situation. Fora ‘suspect’, to be able to obtain such a promise from the Emperor, it was only right to be shocked. It was a little too much to be too natural.
Emperor Yong Ping: ” Father-in-law is dead. My brothers and uncles have to retire. But don’t worry. The Yi and Ning Prefectures will always be left to the Xiao Family.”
“In the secret letter that my brother-in-law sent to report his death, he has already recommended Tan Shouxin, the most capable governor of Yizhou under my father-in-law, to take over as the governor of Yizhou, and Zhou Tong, the governor of Bajun, to take over as the governor of Ningzhou.”
These words undoubtedly struck Empress Xiao’s heart like a bolt of lightning.
What was she afraid of?
It was just that the Emperor did not take the Xiao family seriously, and the Xie family was unable or unwilling to do their best to protect the Xiao family’s foundation.
If it was said that the position of Crown Prince was just a lie and that she had been supported for decades, then letting the old subordinates of the Xiao family take over the position of governor of the Yi and Ning provinces was undoubtedly a sincere act.
The Xiao Family had been operating in the Yi and Ning Prefectures for decades. If someone else were to replace them, it was very likely that their years of hard work would go down the drain.
However, if they were just old subordinates, even if the people who were replaced had ambitions, the overall deployment of the department was still the Xiao family. They would not be able to cause any major waves.
This was the most important thing.
At this moment, Empress Xiao could not help but burst into tears.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust. Thank you, Your Majesty…Everything he had done for the Xiao family. I, I, I am really ashamed and anxious. As His Majesty’s wife, I did not share His Majesty’s worries. I did not even give birth to a son or daughter for His Majesty…”
“There will be one in the future, Ning.” Emperor Yong Ping and Empress Xiao clasped their hands tightly.
“I’m not doing this for the Xiao family. I’m doing this for ourselves. Don’t be a fish on the chopping board for us! Ning, get well as soon as possible and pull yourself together. This world is ours.””
“Not from their aristocratic family.”
“We shouldn’t be manipulated by them, and we shouldn’t let them decide the life and death of our children!”
Empress Xiao and Emperor Yong Ping looked at each other, their eyes bursting with a strong fighting spirit.

“Was it Xiao Ning?”
When Xiao Baoxin heard Xie Xian’s final answer, his eyes were filled with disbelief.
The Empress Xiao who claimed that she wouldn’t use the baby in her belly and wanted to accumulate virtue for her child-her father had only died a few days ago?
She could imagine how badly Xiao Ning had been hurt to become so ruthless.
However, he had just experienced the pain of losing his father and son. He showed a pitiful face to others, but when he turned around, he had another face. This made Xiao Baoxin’s heart tremble. How scheming and ruthless was this?
If it was unknown whether the He family or Consort He Shu had ordered Empress Xiao’s and Consort Qi De’s pregnancy, then this time, it was Empress Xiao who had planned and carried it out personally.
Moreover, according to what Xie Xian said, Empress Xiao did not even think of hiding it from the Xie family.
Or rather, she couldn’t hide it at all. She had to use all the spies of the Xie family in the harem. Without the Xie family, she couldn’t have done anything at all.
And after doing such a thing without going through the Xie family, she had clearly pushed the Xie family into a fight and onto her boat. She had no choice but to tie them together with her.
Ruthless and ruthless!
In the end, Xiao Ning was still changed by those harem members. She had become the person she had been most unwilling to be when she was young. “Isn’t he afraid that the emperor will find out and blame her? That was the Emperor’s cousin, and she was also pregnant with the Emperor’s heir.”
“With me around, what is she afraid of?” Xie Xian lowered his eyes and smiled.”
Xiao Ning was sure that she couldn’t hide it from him. Although she had done as she instructed, her subordinates would definitely inform the Xie family about this matter. What happened after that was his business.
It could be said that he had schemed against him.
Seeing Xie Xian’s expression, Xiao Baoxin also calmed down.
However, deep in his heart, he was still heartbroken by Xiao Ning’s change.
A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, she was fully supportive. However, was it really a victory to become the person who hurt you and do the same thing? The innocent one was the fetus who had no right to choose or even live.
Perhaps it was easier said than done. If someone dared to hurt her child, she could chop that person into pieces.
However, she couldn’t transform into that evil person and do something as evil as that person. She couldn’t kill other people’s children as well, at least for now.
“So…”
Xiao Baoxin’s heart was filled with anxiety as he spoke halfway.
“So, I asked someone to pass the evidence to the emperor.”
Huh?
He had to admit that one sentence from Xie Xianxian had eased Xiao Baoxin’s anger.
“You handed it to the Emperor?”
Xie Xian had completely fallen out with Xiao Ning. He had such a high IQ, yet he hated her for setting him up?
“Yes, how else would this show end? There has to be a murderer.”
“But…”
That was Xiao Ning, the granddaughter of the Grand Madame. Did she know how he treated her?
To be honest, he couldn’t bear to.
“Originally, one of the four imperial concubines in the palace died, and the other four would definitely become suspects. As long as there was no evidence in front of the Emperor, he would suspect anyone.”
“No matter who we find or who the evidence points to, it won’t be the end.”
“The Emperor won’t believe it at all.” “He will firmly believe that it was someone who deliberately let him know, that it was carefully arranged, and that it was a fake answer,” Xie Xian said calmly.”
Xiao Baoxin was flabbergasted, so this guy did the opposite and sent the real murderer to Emperor Yong Ping.
