Grand Preceptor Xie really was spitting blood A property that had been enerations of the Xie Clan had practically disappeared overnight No one else in his place would’ve been able to take such a blow
When Ning Xiaoyao returned in high spirits to the palace, she issued a decree to set up food relief centers at each of the four city gates in the capital It was iees in the city until they were full, but at least she could make sure they wouldn’t starve to death, or be forced to eat the dead to survive Grand Preceptor Xie’s private orders to forbid the capital shops fro Xiaoyao thus becarain when she had her own?
”Keep away frouard,” Grand Preceptor Xie told his eldest son Xie Anyi while lying sick in bed ”As long as our Xie Clan still has troops and horses, there’s no need to fear”
Xie Anyi nodded to agree, but still his heart was ill at ease Historically speaking, any subject that dared to tussle with the Son of Heaven was more apt to lose than win Can our Xie Clan really keep His Majesty down?
”Find some way to send a letter into the palace,” Grand Preceptor Xie added ”Have Esteeer ease her worries and to not fear This is a temporary victory atshi+p just by losing some money”
some money? If it was just ‘some money,’ would a father like you have spat out blood and fallen ill? </e Master Xie did his best to reer are still mother and son by blood, after all Perhaps His Majesty will understand the loyal devotion of our Xie Clan with time”
What was so bad about a strongMaster Xie just couldn’t understand why His Majesty was at odds with them now Still, he had hope that the two sides could reconcile When Grand Preceptor Xie heard his son’s words, a sweet taste filled his throat before he nearly spat out another mouthful of blood What did family love count for in the face of power? </e Xin, while Ning Yu was after ihter like theaze had wavered, they’d placed a wolf to sit upon the Dragon Throne Grand Preceptor Xie shut his eyes and took a long breath From now on, the path before them would be difficult
Xie Anyi sat cautiously on his seat, not daring to say a word Grand Preceptor Xie sed the blood in his throat and opened his eyes to see Xie Anyi sitting there with his head lowered His brows furrowed even ht This son of his was nearly 40 years old and the official Minister of Revenue Despite this, he was still incapable of acting independently
”Father?” Eldest Young Master Xie felt his palan to sweat under his father’s stern scrutiny
”Go invite Prince Fu to the estate for a chat,” Grand Preceptor Xie said ”Do it in person If he doesn’t coui was an intimate friend of the late crown prince When the late crown prince was alive, he’d never forgotten about the salaries of the vassal lords Now that His Majesty favors and trusts Lou Zigui, you should ask Prince Fu to consider whether that Lou Zigui will ever mention the salary issue to His Majesty”
”If you do this, won’t Prince Fu…”
”Go on,” Grand Preceptor Xie cut off his son’s words Xie Anyi saw his gloomy face and didn’t dare to say any more He made a noise of assent and left
How could it be so easy to be an emperor? Grand Preceptor Xie beat the headboards as he laid on the bed , then this old man will let you have a taste of that power!

”Your Majesty,” an old man dressed in military court attire, who looked about sixty years old, faced her with a face filled with grief and indignation ”Your subject Ji Jiu heard news of what happened to the Supre a full account of events at Anyuan’s six provinces and hurried my way to the capital However, I was still unable to make it before Supreme Commander was beaten and tortured”
Ning Xiaoyao made an ‘oh’ of assent She couldn’t help but think that if she hadn’t transrated, Supreme Comeneral made it back
”Your Majesty!” Because Ning Xiaoyao wasn’t paying attention, old General Ji raised his voice and cried out, ”Supreme Commander’s heart is wholly for the country Even if it was to kill the Northern Hu spies, how could Your Majesty bear to have Suprerounds and be eaten alive by tens of thousands of people, and have him…”
”I-it wasn’t that ridiculous,” Ning Xiaoyao cut hi to eat him? Could Supreme Commander still be alive after that?”
”This subject is pained at heart!” old General Ji said as he fell to his knees again in tears Throughout the whole thing, his seventeen year old granddaughter had been glaring at Ning Xiaoyao, irl’s entire fa
”Without poison, there is no greatsaid hatefully towards Ning Xiaoyao ”Supreme Commander shed blood for his country as a martyr Did Your Majesty ever think of the blood Supre when you schemed your self-injury ruse?”
”……” said Ning Xiaoyao This gal was cursing her for letting Supreme Co to do with it?
”What nonsense are you spewing?” old General Ji quickly lifted his head to scold his granddaughter ”You cannot be impudent!”
Ji Yuerong shut herXiaoyao It was then that Lou Zigui finally hurried over fro quarters
”No need to bow,” Ning Xiaoyao said as she waved a hand at him
”Old General Ji,” Lou Zigui turned to cup his hands in greeting at the general
Ji Yuerong ran in front of Lou Zigui and asked, ”Supreme Commander, how are your wounds?”
Big Boss Black took this chance to ju Xiaoyao’s armrest and said quietly, ”This cat’s eneral Their Ji Family defends the border station at Jinhuan City”
Ning Xiaoyao exaure thatchest, small waist, and pert bottom At seventeen years old, she’d already developed so well! Xiaoyao could only envy her devilish figure in secret Big Boss Black’s paw scratched at Ning Xiaoyao’s hand
”She’s been hitched with two families before, but somehow her two fiancés both died”
Ning Xiaoyao murmured, ”Not bad, it’s better than Supreme Commander’s six dead fiancées Only two died on her”
Big Boss Black raised his claw at Ning Xiaoyao’s face and cried, ”You’re not allowed to talk bad aboutBoss Black, who exclaimed, ”Then don’t blame me in the future if I don’t tell you!”
