Xie Xian didn't expect Xiao Baoxin to be up so late and waiting for him in the study.

She had already finished washing up. Her black hair fell to her waist, and her small face was plain. He was wearing an ivory white inner garment with a light yellow robe with wide sleeves and a grayish-green belt casually tied around his waist.

She was still flipping through the geography book in her hand when she saw him return. Her beautiful eyes instantly lit up.

“You're back.”

“Why are you back so late? Have you eaten?” she asked. I'll get the kitchen to simmer the fish porridge over a small fire and get someone to bring it up for you to drink?”

Xie Xian nodded. Before Mingyue could come forward, Xiao Baoxin took off his cloak and placed it on Mingyue.

“I'll go and urge the kitchen to serve the food.” With that, he went down.

Xie Xian glanced at Xiao Baoxin. There were some words that he did not know how to say.

But he didn't want to raise her into a flower in a greenhouse. With him around, she would naturally have him to withstand the wind, frost, and rain of swords. But if one day he wasn't around, she would be the only one who could face everything.

Moreover, she had always been smart and strong, and was definitely not comparable to an ordinary young lady.

In fact, she was much more valiant than ordinary girls.

“I'm afraid the engagement between the Xiao family and the princess of Xuancheng is not going to happen.”Xie Xian said these words out loud, but his eyes were unblinkingly focused on Xiao Baoxin's reaction. As expected, she suddenly widened her eyes and came back to her senses in an instant.

“Did something happen midway?”

Princess Xuan Cheng and Xin An King, and not just the siblings, even Emperor Yu Heng wanted to use the engagement to strengthen Xin An King's power, so he definitely did not rashly break the engagement. Something must have happened that forced the engagement to be broken off, so even though Xie Xian was still a newlywed, he was called out.

Since Xie Xian said this, he must have known the cause and effect.

“Not only the Xiao family and the princess of Xuancheng, but the marriage between the Xin 'an Prince and the Xu family's Sixth Mother can only be called off.”Xie Xian's brows were tightly knitted together. Only then did he slowly explain the matter.

Minister Xu's wife, Mrs. Zhong, had always believed in Buddhism and donated money to the temple every month.

Today was the day that the great monk Hui Neng of Waguan Temple was giving a lecture. The madams of several families had arranged to listen to the scriptures together. Lady Wang of the Xi family wanted to show her son the second daughter of Lady Ying of the Zhong family. Madam Ying had always been on good terms with Madam Yin of the Yuan Family. She had also invited Madam Yin to go together. The four Furen had brought their Di daughters to listen to the scriptures and recite Buddha.

Who knew that after the lecture by the great monk Huineng at noon, the madams and young ladies of several families had eaten vegetarian food in the temple and then rested and chatted in the meditation room. The young ladies were in the cubicles. Some of them took a break in the afternoon, while others were lively and active playing in the courtyard of the back meditation courtyard.

They found that Xu Liuniang had disappeared at a quarter to ten before Huineng gave his lecture in the afternoon. After everyone gathered together, they searched every corner of the temple but could not find her. She asked her personal maid, who only told her that Sixth Lady Xu wanted to rest in the room, so she leaned in the cubicle outside. Who knew that when she woke up, she found out that Sixth Lady was missing.

The little maid was so frightened that she didn't know what to do and couldn't say anything.

At this time, the madams knew that things were not good, so they looked for the great monk Huineng of Waguan Temple. First, they asked the monk to search in a small area, and then they simply found the back mountain.

It was not until the sun had set that she saw Xu Liuniang, who was dressed in disheveled clothes, among the rare flowers and trees in the back mountain.

The person lying beside her was Xiao Baoshu, who was also dressed in disheveled clothes…

Xiao Baoxin was speechless for a long time after hearing this. No matter how mischievous Xiao Baoshu was, he would not have stolen someone else's little lady. Moreover, she was the future princess consort of Xin 'an Prince. Moreover, under the protection of so many people, it was not that she looked down on Xiao Baoshu, but he did not have the wisdom to get him out.

Just by looking at this formation, it was not something that ordinary people could move. It was obvious that the Xiao and Xu families had fallen into their trap and were schemed against.

Two birds with one stone, removing both of Xin 'an King's arms.

Of course, if the engagement was broken, the Xiao and Xu families might not change sides and not support the Xin 'an King. However, everyone knew that a marriage alliance was the most reliable and practical alliance. They would share both glory and disgrace. Otherwise, Emperor Yu Heng wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to find in-laws of these two families for King Xin 'an. Wasn't he just trying to be reliable?

Who knew that the person behind the scenes would break the trap that Emperor Yu Heng had painstakingly created?

Originally, the Xiao and Xu families had no choice but to be tied to the Xin 'an King by marriage. However, now that Sixth Lady Xu and Xiao Baoshu had no matchmaker, the engagement with the royal family had to be called off. The Xiao and Xu families could attack or retreat, and they did not have to be tied to the Xin' an King.

“When you went out just now-”

Xie Xian glanced at Xiao Baoxin.” It was the Emperor who summoned me into the palace. How could this matter be hidden from the emperor? The Xu family could not hide it, and did not dare to hide it. At that time, so many madams were present, and so many monks from Waguan Temple were searching for the mountain. The Xu family could not hide it even if they wanted to.”

Therefore, the madams of the other families returned to Jiankang City in their carriages. Mrs. Zhong also captured Xiao Baoshu and brought him back to the Xu Manor. Minister Xu sent someone to deliver a letter to the Xiao family while he went to the palace to ask for an audience with the Emperor.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they had been schemed against, but this was a silent loss. They could only swallow it.

Emperor Yu Heng was furious and wanted to imprison Xiao Baoshu.

Hearing this, Xiao Baoxin couldn't hold back anymore and stood up.””Where is Boshu now? Was he imprisoned? Where's Abba?”

” Don't be impatient.” Xie Xian stood up and stroked Xiao Baoxin's back to comfort him.” Since I'm sitting here and telling you in detail, Baoshu will naturally be fine. The Emperor also knew that it had nothing to do with Boshu, but in a fit of anger, he inevitably lost his rationality. After thinking about it, he knew that this was purely out of anger. If it was any other young man, it would also be difficult for him to escape from the schemes of others.”

” Besides,” he paused and sighed.

“The emperor still wants to use father-in-law and the Xu family. If they can't become in-laws, then they can't become enemies.”

Emperor Yu Heng was a scheming and scheming person, he would never do something that would make his enemies happy. Sikong Xiao even begged for forgiveness, kneeling all the way from Taiji Palace to beg for forgiveness. Emperor Yu Heng did not allow it and went out to welcome him halfway. One sentence was enough to make Sikong Xiao cry.

Emperor Yu Heng's eyes were red as he helped Sikong Xiao up and said in a deep voice,”

“You and I are monarch and minister, and our hearts are connected. I originally wanted to be in-laws. I will honor you, and you will fulfill me. Our children will be together for a hundred years. Who knew that the hardest thing to guard against was the human heart. It was so vicious that it actually insulted the beloved son of the Qing family and was stained with shame. The pure and innocent Little Lady of the Xu family was also involved in this dirty political whirlpool and became an innocent sacrifice…How dirty was a human's heart, how vicious was his scheme!”

“My beloved minister, Mo You, it's this one. I've implicated your beloved sons and daughters…”

Xie Xian would see the three of them sitting there wiping their tears.

He didn't know how much sincerity there was, but it was true that both of their plans had failed..
