Shen Miao pushed his hand away and said, "You can't ask me to be a freeloader."1

"I don't dare to underestimate you." Xie Jingxing smiled and sighed. "Since you want to know, I won't hide it. You once told me that you had a dream. That dream was very tragic. What I want to tell you now is not a dream, but something that really happened."

"It will take half a year to reach the capital of Ming Qi from Long Ye. Don't you always want to know why I became the son of the Marquis of Lin'an back then? All these years, I knew my identity, but I didn't go back to the Daliang Dynasty. It wasn't that I didn't want to go back but that I couldn't go back." His gaze gradually became sharp.

Xie Jingxing's real name was Xie Yuan, and his courtesy name was Jingxing.

The person who named him was his father, Xie Yilong, Emperor Xiaowu, but the person who gave him the courtesy name was his mother, Empress Xiao.

Xie Yilong was the most outstanding prince of the Daliang Dynasty back then. He held military power, was stable in the world, and was handsome, heroic, and high-spirited. The only bad thing about him was that because he was the youngest son, the royal family of the Daliang Dynasty had never raised the youngest. However, Xie Yilong was too outstanding. The more outstanding a person was, the more they either did not care about worldly affairs or were ambitious. Unfortunately, Xie Yilong was the latter. In addition, the crown prince at that time was much inferior to him, so Xie Yilong eventually took the path of competition for the throne.

Xie Yilong's competition for the throne was very smooth. He was born to the empress and had accumulated a lot of merits in his youth. In the end, Xie Yilong schemed against his brother, the crown prince, and caused his mother to die from depression. He controlled his father and successfully obtained the throne.

In the competition for the throne, one had to give up some things, such as family and love. Of course, to Xie Yilong, these were not important. He was an ambitious person, so in the end, he married the daughter of the Xiao family. The Xiao family was the head of the civil officials. If he married the daughter of the Xiao family, he could almost rope in more than half of the civil officials in the Daliang Dynasty. In addition, the daughter of the Xiao family was already beautiful and smart. This marriage was actually extremely worth it.

After ascending the throne, Emperor Xiaowu treated Empress Xiao with respect. Emperor Xiaowu was a wise emperor, and Empress Xiao was a virtuous figure that all the women in the world looked up to. Not long after, Empress Xiao gave birth to her eldest son, Xie Chi, and made him the crown prince. Originally, the Daliang Dynasty was gradually expanding, and the country was gradually surpassing the other two countries. Everything looked good.

However, nothing in the world could remain unchanged.

The people who went through thick and thin with you might not be able to share wealth with you.

Empress Xiao married Emperor Xiaowu in a time of chaos. The couple complemented each other. Xie Yilong was ambitious and steady. Empress Xiao was smart and resourceful.

However, when the enemies outside were eliminated, the arrowhead would turn to the people inside.

Emperor Xiaowu was an ambitious person. Back then, he used tricks to obtain the throne. Ambition came from desire, and he gradually suspected that the Xiao family had the intention of monopolizing the imperial court. The more virtuous and smart Empress Xiao appeared, the more paranoid Emperor Xiaowu was. In order to balance the power of the Xiao family, Emperor Xiaowu took in a large number of women. Among them, there was no lack of women from families that were on par with the Xiao family. In the imperial court, he let the Xiao family fight with the other families, and in the harem, he let Empress Xiao fight with the women of those families.
