Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 154
If word spread that the former four princesses of Dalai not only betrayed their appearance and body to do dirty things in the nunnery, but also left wild seeds in their stomachs, then what should the officials of the court and the people of the world do? How do you look at him, Emperor Ming, and this royal family?

"Bin'er, you are my son, you should know how to make a decision between the dignity of the royal family and other things?" Ming Shengdi said word by word with his palm on the table.

In other words, Xia Ziqi couldn't keep her anymore.

Xia Bin has been in power for more than [-] years, how can he not understand the meaning of Ming Shengdi's words? Emotions flowed in his eyes, and he guessed what Ming Shengdi said. The way of the king, or to try his understanding and views on this matter?
He thought more complicated, and the answer became more difficult. After a while, he chose a well-regulated answer and said: "I understand, but now I am facing such a difficult matter, Ziqi is Erchen's younger sister?" , is the only daughter of the concubine mother, it is really difficult to make such a choice..."

"No matter how difficult it is, it must be done."

The cicadas outside the study were chirping like heat waves one after another. In such a noisy and hot weather, the words spoken by Ming Shengdi were colder than the ice in winter.

"I'll give you two days to go to the nunnery to deal with this evil girl for me, and do it cleanly. Don't let others know about the shitty things she did. Do you understand?"

Ming Shengdi's eyes were entwined with power and cruelty. At this moment in his heart, Xia Ziqi was no longer his daughter, nor the fourth princess with his blood, but a disgraced royal family. A person who has committed a heinous crime can't wait to kill him quickly.

Look, the royal family is so indifferent. Whether it is father or daughter or father and son, no matter how deep-rooted blood and blood family relationship is, it is not worth the rights and interests.

Under Ming Shengdi's deep gaze, Xia Bin restrained his inner emotions and nodded, secretly thinking that he must handle this matter well and win Ming Shengdi's trust in him.

Sometimes good things don't go out and bad things spread far and wide. Just as Xia Bin was preparing to give Xia Ziqi the poisoned wine to drink, Shui Yanran came to the door again.

This time, Shui Yanran entered the Emperor's eldest son's mansion alone. She was wearing a light-colored skirt with narrow sleeves, combed her silvery hair into a bun, and put a thick layer of makeup on her face. It was barely able to cover up her haggard and old state.

Xia Bin took her into the house very displeased, a little annoyed that she came to the door on her own initiative.

"Didn't I tell you that you were not allowed to come to the Emperor's eldest son's mansion!" Xia Bin stood in front of her and shook his sleeves angrily, "Do you know that if someone saw you, you would not be able to speak clearly with a thousand mouths! "

Shui Yanran didn't want to discuss these issues with Xia Bin any more at this moment, what she cared about at the moment was Xia Ziqi's life.

"Did the emperor ask you to execute Qi'er in secret, didn't you!" Shui Yanran asked, shaking Xia Bin's hand frantically.

Xia Bin was stunned for a moment, wondering why Shui Yanran knew it so quickly, but she couldn't help saying perfunctorily: "...It is true, Qi'er committed the thing of touching the emperor Nilin, this time I'm afraid that no one can change Father's mind."

He sighed and shook his head, and recounted the ins and outs of Xia Ziqi's pregnancy. Shui Yanran felt distressed from the bottom of her heart when she heard her daughter's situation.

"No, no! Qi'er is so well-behaved and sensible, with a noble status, she never knew about these dirty trades, how could she do such things voluntarily, she must be seduced by some restless foxes in the nunnery She!" Shui Yanran said as she shook her body and grabbed Xia Bin's sleeve firmly.

"Bin'er, think of a way, Qi'er is still young, how could she die at such a young age, you must have a way, right!"

Her voice was sharp and rogue, and Xia Bin was bound to save Xia Ziqi's life.

Xia Bin watched her making such a fuss, disgust and contempt arose in his heart, Shui Yanran looked like a shrew in the market, she didn't have half of the demeanor that a concubine should have.

"Yanran, listen to me...I can't decide this matter, so why do you make things difficult for me..."

Shui Yanran's face changed suddenly, and she opened Xia Bin's hand, showing a hostile and skeptical demeanor, approaching him with a gloomy expression, she was bound to look into his heart.

"What do you mean, saving Qi'er can be called embarrassing! She is your own daughter, don't you feel sorry for her at all?" Shui Yanran said, her voice choked with sobs.

Xia Bin was afraid that if the stalemate continued like this, Shui Yanran would become angry, even though he was unwilling, he still comforted him: "Look at you, you can only think wildly all day long, have I ever told you not to save Qi'er? It's a bit difficult, just think about it slowly."

The house was lit with raw rhinoceros incense, and the mist knocked disturbingly into people's hearts, but the cloud-like illusory air did not melt into Shui Yanran's heart at all, and it could not cure her daze.

"Bin'er... Bin'er..." She suddenly hugged Xia Bin with tears streaming down her face, and put her wet face full of tears on his shoulder, with her last plea and hope, "I beg you , she must be kept alive, whether she is a commoner, sent far away from the capital city, or faked her death to hide her name in the future, as long as she is alive..."

Xia Bin was silent, his fat face was suddenly sharp, but when Shui Yanran stood up and looked at him, he completely restrained himself, showing a distressed expression.

"I promise you yes, that's what I thought at first, I will go to the nunnery with my father's imperial decree, and exchange the poisoned wine given by the emperor for special wine mixed with fake death medicine, and after Qi'er drinks it She will enter a state of coma and suspended animation, and then I will arrange for my subordinates to settle her down secretly, buy a house for Qi'er to live in, and after that, you mother and daughter can also meet each other from time to time."

Shui Yanran moistened her eyes, bit her lips and nodded desperately, she believed that Xia Bin would do what she said, a heart that had been hanging in the air for a long time was finally slightly let go.

"Great...Great!" Shui Yanran murmured, hugging Xia Bin tightly, full of joy that her beloved and cherished daughter escaped safely. Yan Ran trusted Xia Bin even more.

But she didn't see that at the moment when she was crying with joy, Xia Bin, who was hugging her back, showed a cruel smile.

In the narrow single room, Xia Ziqi was supporting her unswollen stomach. On the table was a plate of wild jujube and a plate of candied fruit. She clutched her handkerchief and retched, stretched out her hand to twist a wild jujube, and put it into her mouth in a hurry , the sour taste relieved the discomfort in Xia Ziqi's throat very well, she ate like this slowly, but at the same time she sighed.

"What's wrong with this person doing business? He took a whole 20 taels of silver from me, and now he doesn't even have a reply!"

As she spoke, she became annoyed again, raised her leg and kicked the leg of the table, pinching the handkerchief as if to vent her anger.

Compared with when he had to do rough work every day before, Xia Ziqi's hands have already been raised as soft and white as before, which makes his patrons love him most, but Xia Ziqi's original arrogance and fierceness have all disappeared. It just tainted Fengchen Miqi with a gaudy and vulgar temperament.

Just as she was complaining, there was a knock on the door of the house.

Xia Ziqi stood up propping the corner of the table, walked towards the door with small steps, carefully looked out through the crack of the door, and saw a person standing outside the door, that person was wearing a black cloak, not tall Gao, she leaned on the crack of the door and watched for a while, and saw a familiar face raised from the cloak, which was her mother and concubine.

Xia Ziqi was overjoyed, opened the door with a creak, and threw herself into Shui Yanran's arms joyfully.

"Mother Concubine! You finally came to see Qi'er!" Xia Ziqi wept with joy, all the grievances and unwillingness of the past days welled up in his heart, buried his head in Shui Yanran's arms, and kept crying.

"Good boy...you have suffered..."

Shui Yanran also felt the same, but now is not the time to act emotionally, she hastily helped Xia Ziqi out of her arms and stood up, made sure of her, and solemnly said: "We mother and daughter You can keep the words and speak slowly, right now, Concubine Mu has something to tell you, time is running out, you have to listen carefully..."

Xia Ziqi stopped crying, swallowed the released grievance temporarily, and nodded obediently.

I only heard Shui Yanran solemnly said: "Your majesty already knew about your pregnancy, he always values ​​the dignity of the royal family, and he has already murdered you... This time he sent Bin'er to do this matter, presumably In less than a quarter of an hour, the messenger will be here..."

Xia Ziqi seemed to be struck by lightning and couldn't recover for a long time. She knew that Ming Shengdi was cruel and heartless, but she never thought that he would be so ignorant of the relationship between father and daughter...

"Then what should I do...!" Xia Ziqi cried, feeling the fear of death for the first time in his life.

She is still so young, and she still has a lot of days to live. She would rather live in a nunnery than be a dead ghost...

"It's also my own daughter, why can my father be so kind to Xia Zi, but abandon me like a shoe..."

Shui Yanran sighed deeply again: "Because he is not your father at all, so why is there such a father-daughter nature!"

"What?" Xia Ziqi was even more stunned this time. She looked at Shui Yanran in disbelief, her eyes were wide open, "What did the concubine mother say... am I not the royal father's biological daughter?" ……"

The first time she had doubts about her identity, she thought that she was just a joke that Shui Yanran adopted from outside the palace in order to win favor.
