Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 129
"Recently, the envoys of Xiyuan are coming. It's not good if the capital is too chaotic."

The emperor's health seems to be getting worse recently. Although he tried his best to hide this weakness, those who often meet him or those around him can detect it.

Qin Zheng lowered his head, pursed his lips, and did not respond.

The emperor squinted his eyes, and didn't get angry at Qin Zheng's unheard, but instead said in a soothing tone: "I know, you have a special liking for the second mother of the Xie family, but the relationship between children and daughters is not as good as the power, I put you in charge of security in the capital because of my trust in you, as long as you do your best and don't make any mistakes, it won't be long before the post of Grand Commander of Suzaku Guard will be yours."

Qin Zheng knelt down on the ground: "I thank Your Majesty Long En, but to me, she is my benefactor and the goal of my struggle. If she is gone, I will achieve great achievements. Without that What's the point of those who are willing to share?"

There was distress in Qin Zheng's voice.

These words came from the heart, not just to reassure the emperor.

The emperor looked at Qin Zheng's figure kneeling on the ground: "Do you know who moved the hand?"

"I suspect that he is from Xiyuan."

Qin Zheng's voice was full of killing intent: "Although the dead man didn't have anything to prove his identity, his martial arts skills are very similar to those of the Xiyuan spies that I once killed."

"I remember you said that your parents may be from Xiyuan?"

asked the emperor suddenly.

Qin Zheng came to the emperor to confess that day, bluntly saying that he might not be the son of King Rui.

Although Qin Zheng's biological mother hid in Prince Rui's Mansion as a singing girl, and no one discovered her identity until she died, the premise is that no one came forward to investigate further.

As long as his biological father didn't reveal his identity, others would at most find out that he was a descendant of the Xiyuan people.

As for his biological father, Qin Zheng's eyes were full of coldness.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I don't know who my father is. I only know that I was born in Daqing and grew up in Daqing for more than ten years. The people of Xiyuan never gave me a little care when I was young. On the contrary, Your Majesty doesn't mind my status and gave me a father." Opportunities, given to ministers to reuse, are truly a great favor to ministers.

Qin Zheng's words were resounding, as if they were as firm as gold and iron: "I am willing to sweep away all obstacles for Your Majesty."

When he talked about his so-called father, he didn't have the slightest affection, but with a faint hatred.

Because Yuan Xianjing was not worthy of his care.

When he was young, he struggled hard for a little food, when he stayed in Prince Rui's mansion, he was bullied every day, when he clearly had the ability to protect himself, Hua Momo suppressed and beat him in every possible way, just to prevent him from revealing his true nature In his real life experience, when he was almost tortured to death several times, there was never Yuan Xianjing, no Xiyuan people, and no so-called cousin appeared once.

No one came to rescue him.

Until Xie Jinhua appeared.

Only she really cares about him.

Qin Zheng didn't care about Xi Yuan or Yuan Xianjing, nor did he have any hatred for him, he just regarded him as a stranger.

As for those rumors, at most it was that his biological parents were from Xiyuan, no matter how many, Yuan Xianjing would not spread it.

A son who can be reused in Daqing is the son Yuan Xianjing wants.

If it can't help Yuan Xianjing, this bloodline is of no use to him.

At most, it's nothing more than being a killer, which is more important, Yuan Xianjing is very clear.

So when Qin Zheng confessed to the emperor, he was not at all worried that the other party would reveal more things to him.

"What if your loyalty to me conflicts with the safety of Xie's second wife?"

The emperor spoke again.

This sentence is not easy to answer.

The emperor knew his thoughts on Xie Jinhua, and at this time, he couldn't give up looking for Xie Jinhua in order to win the emperor's trust.

But if he really said that he chose Xie Jinhua in front of the emperor, it was obvious that the words of loyalty just now seemed hypocritical.

The emperor doesn't like people who bully him.

The head servant next to the emperor couldn't help but glance at Qin Zheng, wondering how this upstart would choose.

"I risked my life to save the one I love, and I owe more than one life to the county lord."

Although Qin Zheng's answer was honest, there was anger in the emperor's eyes.

"It's just that the county lord's temperament has never been willing to be a hostage bait in the hands of others. If he can't save him, I hope to die with the county lord."

Qin Zheng lowered his body deeply, his whole body was full of stubbornness.

The emperor didn't expect Qin Zheng to say something like this in the end, so he couldn't help pointing at him, and then said after a while: "I promoted you in this way, not to let you easily die with a woman, get out!"

The emperor said unceremoniously, and even reached out and dropped a teacup.

His face was full of anger, and the people around him didn't dare to move a second.

"I thank Your Majesty Long En."

Qin Zheng didn't seem to be frightened by the emperor's anger at all, and got up to leave in a polite and thoughtful manner.

Although the emperor said he was letting him go, but with such an attitude, he no longer pursued him and continued to look for Xie Jinhua.

As long as he can find Xie Jinhua, he doesn't care about such a little reprimand.

"It's a seed of infatuation."

The anger on the emperor's face gradually subsided after Qin Zheng left.

The calm and even slightly smiling expression made the head servant, who was disturbed by his anger just now, heaved a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, it's not that you don't know that Lord Qin has had a deep friendship with County Lord Xie from the very beginning, and has never shied away from it. Although Lord Qin is a bit stubborn, he is honest."

What he said at the moment is actually the emperor's thoughts, and those who can achieve the position of chief servant are all good at observing words and demeanor.

The corners of the emperor's lips curled up: "The ability is not small. During this period of time, the capital has become much cleaner, and there are not so many messy personnel affairs. If he can properly deal with the troubles behind him this time, I will give it to him." What does it matter if he gives you a marriage?"

He didn't mind whether Qin Zheng was from Daqing, what he cared about was whether the other party had to use it.

During this period of time, Qin Zheng provoked a lot of infamy, but the hearts of the people who were already a little bit chaotic were restrained and vigilant again. The sons were also much more honest, and the emperor was naturally satisfied.

The head servant let out an ouch, and his face was full of joy: "Your Majesty is really beautiful as an adult. I guess if Master Xiao Qin knows, he will be even more grateful to His Majesty."

Qin Zheng didn't know about the conversation in the imperial study.

He just went straight out of the palace after leaving the emperor's place.

For him, every moment counts.

A moment of delay would put Xie Jinhua in danger.

"My lord, the county lord's study has been stolen."

Just as Qin Zheng reined in his horse and stopped in front of the Xuanfu Division, a subordinate rushed over with joy on his face.

After searching for three days, there was no sign of Xie Jinhua. It is very likely that he was sent out of the city.

The people of Zhuquewei searched outside the capital, but they were wasting time. They didn't find any trace of Xie Jinhua, only found some suspicious traces, and they couldn't tell the direction at all.

Nowadays, it is not afraid that those who robbed Xie Jinhua will move, but they are afraid that they will not move.

Qin Zheng went to Xie's mansion, Xie Jinyao had a terrible life that day, except for some traumatic injuries, she did not lose her life.

Qin Zheng didn't bother to pay attention to this woman, he wanted to let Xie Jinyao die, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Qin Zheng wanted to check Xie Jinhua's study, but the Xie family didn't dare to stop him.

In the past few days, Qin Zheng let his subordinates search the capital extensively, causing public outrage, and also made many people who didn't care about him at first become wary of the power and energy in his hands.

Xie Jinhua's study seems to be furnished as usual, if not for Qin Zheng's people remembering every detail clearly, there is no way to see that someone has stolen it.

After all, the people Qin Zheng stayed in the Xie Mansion to secretly protect Xie Jinhua were not entirely vegetarians.

Qin Zheng has been to Xie Jinhua's study room more than once, and his people can only tell that Xie Jinhua's study room has been tampered with, but they can't figure out exactly where it has been tampered with.

Qin Zheng was different.

He stood at the door of the study, carefully walking around the place. Xie Jinhua had brought him here to teach him how to write, and also told him where he had received some things.

Qin Zheng walked towards a place.

It was a row of bookcases.

Qin Zheng carefully took down one of the rows of books, and then reached out to hold a piece of wood behind it, and a hole appeared in front of him.

Xie Jinhua told him about this place. When they were in Xuzhou, the two had searched the local chronicles of Xuzhou. In addition to the so-called treasure map in Xie Jinhua's hand, Xie Jinhua had tried to guess the exact address, but Since I haven't been there myself, I can't guess the exact place.

It's just close.

Xie Jinhua specially put those materials in this place.

After he returned to Beijing, he also helped her find some information several times.

And at this moment, as he thought, there was nothing inside.

The corners of Qin Zheng's lips curled up.

At first, he just suspected that Xie Jinhua was robbed by Xiyuan people, but he searched all over the capital in the past few days and couldn't find anyone, and now there is nothing in the study.

He was already very sure that it was really from Xiyuan, no, it should be his biological father who made another move.

Qin Zheng restored the things in the study to their original state, turned around and walked out.

"Let's get together and follow me to Xuzhou."

"My lord, where is Your Majesty?"

The subordinates were a little worried.

Qin Zheng turned his head and glanced in the direction of the palace: "I will report to your majesty first, you go to order troops first."

-

At this moment, Xie Jinhua's wrists were not tied, his eyes were not covered, and there was even a maid waiting beside him.

The treatment is not like a prisoner at all, but like a guest.

Yuan Yuchen hated her to the bone, but no matter how much Yuan Yuchen hated her, he would not dare to do her any harm because of the bargaining chip in her hand.

"My bastard brother is really infatuated with you. I heard that because of your disappearance, he made a fuss in the capital and offended many people. Do you think my father hasn't asked him to do things yet?" , he was executed first?"

Yuan Yuchen's sarcastic voice rang in his ears.

Xie Jinhua kept scribbling and drawing on the desk, and recorded something from time to time. The girl beside her was making tea for her, but Xie Jinhua didn't respond to Yuan Yuchen's words at all.

"It's better for a beauty like you to follow me than to follow my bastard brother. In the future, I will give you more than you imagined."

Seeing Xie Jinhua ignoring him, Yuan Yuchen opened his mouth angrily, reaching out to touch Xie Jinhua.

"If the prince wants me to die now, he can use more hands and feet."

Xie Jinhua said in a cold voice.

There was a deep scratch on her neck, and even after bandaging it, you could still see the oozing blood. That day when Yuan Yuchen wanted to be rude to her, Xie Jinhua used the trick of self-mutilation.

She is ruthless to others, and when it is critical, she is more able to deal with herself.

Yuan Yuchen withdrew his hand resentfully: "I don't know good from bad!"

He is not as favored as before, just because Xi Yuan lost face because of Xie Jinhua, so his position as heir is not so stable.

Now knowing that Qin Zheng is Yuan Xianjing's child who stayed in the capital, and seeing Yuan Xianjing start to pay attention to Qin Zheng again, he feels even more uneasy.

If Xie Jinhua really did something wrong in his hands, causing Yuan Xianjing's plan to fail, he would have something good to eat.

Xie Jinhua suddenly raised his head, looking at Yuan Xianjing with an angry and gloomy expression on his face: "Also, I forgot to tell Prince Yuan, in my heart, you are far worse than Ah Zheng. Think about who you are."

If Qin Zheng is a bastard, what is Yuan Xianjing?
