Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 57 Suzaku Guardian

All the silver needles on Xiaojunwang's body were pulled out, although he was still twitching, it was much lighter.

Physician Wang didn't bother to see who came into the room. While Qin Zheng was suppressing the little county king, he took out a medicine bag from his sleeve and brought it to the other's nose.

The little prince's breath twitched slightly, his raised eyelids gradually closed, his twitching hands and feet returned to calm, but he fell asleep.

There was a lot of blood and sewage on Qin Zheng's hands. The blood was the bite wound of the little prince, and the sewage was spit out by the other party.

Physician Wang checked the pulse of Xiaojun Wang, and couldn't help but loosen his frowning brows: "Okay, okay, although Xiaojun Wang was in a thrilling situation just now, he spit out all the sewage accumulated in his lungs, as long as he opens two more sticks The medicine for the symptoms, it is good to rest and recuperate, and you will be fine in two days."

"Is my son really all right?"

The eldest princess's anxious voice sounded from behind, and the doctor Wang was startled, and when he turned around, he saw the emperor standing in the middle.

His body softened, and he knelt down on the ground: "My minister sees your majesty, long live, long live."

All the people around also knelt down. Just now the emperor signaled everyone not to kneel with his eyes, but now he couldn't lose his courtesy.

The emperor waved his hand: "Excuse me. Except for Yuan An and Wang Taiyi, everyone else should go out and let my grandson have a good rest."

Glancing at Qin Zheng who was kneeling next to Imperial Physician Wang, thinking of the report he had just heard on the road, the emperor turned and walked out.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has committed the crime of negligence, and I hope His Majesty will punish her."

The queen knelt down first, she knew the emperor well, at this time it would be better to plead guilty than to plead guilty.

The emperor glanced at the queen, didn't say anything, and didn't let her get up, but beckoned Qin Zheng to come over: "I heard that you saved my son, what reward do you want?"

Qin Zheng stepped forward and saluted: "Seeing that a weak child is in danger of life and death, and if he has the ability to save his life, he will help him. This is what should be done, and no reward is needed."

His voice was firm, neither humble nor overbearing, but he did not have the slightest tension that would arise from being inquired by the emperor himself.

The emperor looked at the young boy, and suddenly laughed out loud: "It's a good one to do what should be done, but in this palace, there are many people who know what to do and what not to do, and few of you are so clear-headed." of."

"What's your name?"

Many people have already looked at Qin Zheng with envious eyes, and the emperor personally inquired about his life, saying that there will be many opportunities in the future.

"Kid Qin Zheng."

Qin Zheng was not as calm as a young boy, with a calm face all the time.

"It's the country's name."

The emperor seemed to be talking to himself, there was a strange flash in his eyes, and his face suddenly became serious.

"Qin Zheng, although you are a young man, you showed so much bravery in the racecourse last time, and this time you saved my grandson, even if you said you don't want rewards, you just do what you should do, but I can't deny rewards, how about it, I will temporarily give you the post of sixth-rank Dragon Sparrow Imperial Guard in the palace, and stay outside the Qianyuan Hall for the time being."

As soon as the emperor's reward came out, everyone was sure that Qin Zheng had earned it.

The sixth-rank imperial guards in the palace are nothing, but being able to stay outside the emperor's bedroom, being able to make up for the lack of dragon bird guards, and being remembered by the emperor, is destined to have a bright future.

Qin Zheng was also a little surprised by the emperor's award, he hesitated for a moment, this is a good opportunity.

He knew, but he didn't want to leave Xie Jinhua's side.

In Suwei Palace, he couldn't stay by her side to protect her for a long time.

Can't help but look at Xie Jinhua not far away, seeing the anxiety and joy in the other's eyes.

Xie Jinhua was worried that Qin Zheng would say something that shouldn't be said at this time, and couldn't help but clenched his hands tightly, even more nervous than Qin Zheng himself.

Qin Zheng withdrew his gaze and knelt down: "I accept the order to thank you, long live your majesty."

A young boy with a very tall and straight figure, like a green pine that has never grown up.

In Xie Jinhua's heart, a big rock fell to the ground completely.

The result was even better than I imagined.

Compared with Qin Zheng who took the first step as a prostitute in Prince Rui's Mansion, even if he had the status, he was despised by others. Now he is directly rewarded by the emperor with a future, but he has nothing to do with Prince Rui's Mansion. the best.

Xie Jinhua didn't feel that the emperor didn't know Qin Zheng's identity, and why he didn't directly reveal Qin Zheng's identity, but it didn't matter, the most important thing was what he got at the moment.

An 11-year-old sixth-rank official status is better than anything else.

The queen was still kneeling on the side. The emperor would rather reward a lowly servant than to save her more face. The queen was so angry that she couldn't help it anymore: "Your Majesty, he is just a second wife of the Xie family. A guard, originally a lowly person, even if he has meritorious service, it is only accidental, a mere meritorious service, rewarding some gold, silver and jewels is enough, how can he rashly reward a sixth-rank official position."

The queen reacted like this, but it was because the Longque Guard was the emperor's most trusted guard, not only guarding the palace, but also assisting the emperor in monitoring all officials.

The number of people among them is conclusive, and the official positions of the sixth rank and above are a radish and a pit. A few days ago, I heard that Longquewei lost some manpower due to an accident. The official position of Pinshihu was vacant, and the eldest prince had already asked the queen to help him notice that he was going to put someone there.

Xie Jinhua heard what the queen said about Qin Zheng, and couldn't help but stepped forward: "Your Majesty may not know that Qin Zheng is not anyone's servant, let alone a lowly person. He once saved the life of my servant, and it was for this servant Repaying his kindness allowed him to temporarily stay in Shangshu's residence."

"Xie Erniang, you said she is not your servant?"

The queen frowned: "Then do you know his specific origin and background, and his net worth is innocent? How important is the Suzaku Guard, and people who don't know why can't be selected."

Xie Jinhua was about to refute, when a sharp and stern voice came from behind the queen: "It's just a small skill, some gold, silver and jewels can withstand it? Just a Suzaku guard of six ranks and ten households is worth the fuss of the queen, the queen It's too contemptuous to look at my son!"

Princess Yuan'an walked out of the room behind her, and looked at the queen without concealing the hostility and hatred in her eyes.

Why did her son fall into the water outside Qifeng Palace for no reason? She thought of the methods the queen used to deal with her, and couldn't help putting her hands on her waist for a moment.

The queen was annoyed by Princess Yuan'an's appearance.

Originally, she had suffered an innocent disaster, but she also felt that the little county king was too frustrated when something happened near her bedroom.

The queen's eyebrows turned cold: "Yuan'an, I am your aunt, and Qian'er is also my grandson. How can I treat him like a contempt? I just don't want to break the rules and make other people follow suit." Talk about your mother and son."

The queen's words were not unreasonable, but this time, she met Princess Yuan'an, who was deeply guilty by the emperor, and almost lost her son just now.

"enough."

The emperor snorted coldly, and looked at the stunned queen who was yelled at: "My grandson is also of royal blood, let alone a sixth rank, even a fifth rank is worthy."

The emperor was angry, which made the queen's heart tremble, and she didn't dare to say anything more, but she hated the person who attacked the little county king outside Qifeng Palace and made her mess up, looked up at the emperor: "Your Majesty, calm down!" This time, it must be someone with intentions who deliberately framed Qifeng Palace, so they would start outside the palace. The concubine just thought about the rules, but it didn't mean that she didn't care about Qian'er's affairs. The concubine will definitely find out who is behind the scenes. Seek justice for my concubine and that child."

The emperor smiled and said, "Whether Gan'er made a mistake or was harmed by others, we have to investigate carefully. The queen doesn't need to be so nervous."

Turning his head to Yuan An, who still wanted to have a fight with the queen, he persuaded him: "Qian'er had an accident in the palace. If something really happened, I will definitely not tolerate it. Yuan An, you can stay with Qianer at ease." Son, I have sent someone to invite Dr. Zhou to come here, and with him here, Gan'er will definitely be able to recover as soon as possible."

When Princess Yuan'an heard the emperor's words, she didn't say anything more. She bowed and turned around to walk into the room.

Qin Zheng always felt that there was a line of sight looking at him, that line of sight was very strange, he turned his eyes calmly, and met a pair of eyes full of doubts.

The moment the other party turned Qin Zheng's eyes, he reacted quickly and showed him a very shallow smile, which was a kind smile.

That is, the eldest princess consort?

Qin Zheng was suspicious in his heart, but quickly turned his head back.

-

Qin Zheng was called away to inquire about the matter of the king of the small county. The emperor gave him the sixth-rank Vermillion Bird Guard position, which defined his role in it. Push the matter of Xiaojun Wang's falling into the water on him.

So Xie Jinhua was very calm.

It's just that when Qin Zheng was about to leave, he couldn't help but glance at her, and he silently mouthed to her: "Wait for me."

He knew that he would not be able to return to Shangshu Mansion in a short time, nor would he see Xie Jinhua.

It's just that if you want to get something, you must first be prepared to lose some things.

Qin Zheng wants power.

Just now, after he knelt down to accept the emperor's reward, he could no longer get down this road.

"It can be seen that the child attaches great importance to you."

There are only a few personal servants and Xie Jinhua beside the emperor.

Xie Jinhua didn't know what to do or say when the emperor left her near, but responded more respectfully: "It's my daughter who has experienced life and death with the Qin guards. After taking care of him, he also felt a little reluctance, it's just human nature, and now His Majesty has given Qin Guards a kindness, and he will be loyal to His Majesty in the future. That child has always been clear about gratitude and resentment."

Although Xie Jinhua speaks respectfully, he always speaks good things for Qin Zheng and strives for a good impression.

Hearing Xie Jinhua's words, the emperor couldn't help laughing and shaking his head: "I've heard about him saving you, but compared to him saving you, you also saved him. You said that he has clear grievances, I see You are also very clear about grievances."

Xie Jinhua bowed his head and dared not speak.

"Who do you think is most likely to be the one who killed the little county king today?"

The emperor suddenly changed the subject.

"I was chatting with the empress in the palace at the time, and I was never there, so I dare not speak nonsense, but if the little county king didn't fall into the water by mistake, then the person who caused him must have done it on a temporary basis, and that's why he was so hasty. Jingzhou, who has never returned to the capital, and the king of the small county is an immature child, he should have no enemies, but the courtiers guessed rashly, if there is really a mastermind behind the scenes, it must be aimed at the empress."

Xie Jinhua's words seem to be without any selfishness, and what he said is very fair, but in fact it is intentional guidance.

Regarding this matter, she herself had some guesses, and she did it hastily and viciously, and she had a grudge with the queen, and wanted to deal with the queen, and she met such a person today.

A confrontation with Princess Yong'an just happened to let her know that there are really vicious and stupid people in the world, who will not care about any consequences in order to vent their anger for a while.

In addition, the lineage of King Qi in the previous life took advantage of this matter to deal with the queen and the first prince, Xie Jinhua couldn't even think about it.

Even if Concubine Duan didn't do it, it didn't prevent the emperor from checking her actions more.

If the emperor can find out the connection between King Qi and the harem, and find out his ubiquitous spies and spies, that will be really gratifying.

The emperor sighed: "I only thought that the second wife of the Xie family had good arrow skills and a good heart, but I didn't expect that this heart is also very clever. With this good looks, it's no wonder that Xie Qing's family thought about it at the time." Send you to the palace"

Xie Jinhua knelt down and bowed her head deeply. Although she had guessed Xie Shangshu's plan from the queen, she still couldn't help but feel chills when she heard the emperor's admission. The emperor was old and frail, All the princes below are fighting for the throne, and entering the palace at this moment clearly made her an abandoned child or a living target.

Xie Jinhua suppressed the resentment in his heart, and said in a calm voice, "Your Majesty speaks seriously. The little girl has the appearance of Pu Liu, and she has a rough temper. She dare not be a concubine in the palace. In this life, the little girl only wants to find someone who is devoted to her heart, but she dare not do anything else. Think about it."

The emperor looked down at Xie Jinhua who was kneeling on the ground, without saying a word, the atmosphere was a little stagnant for a while, Xie Jinhua's fingers could not help but twitch slightly.

That was her expression of being extremely nervous.
