Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 183
"Princess, listen to me. Prison robbery is absolutely unacceptable. Let's not say that we don't know what's going on in the water prison. General Huwei has served in the army for dozens of years. Those guards are not vegetarians. Besides, prison robbery is a must." For a serious crime, if something goes wrong, I am afraid that not only the princess, but even the Liu family will be implicated."

Xia Shengqing leaned down and held Xia Zijin's shoulders and said, shaking her head vigorously at her.

At first, Xia Zijin's head was hot, thinking that Liu Anqi must not be in trouble if he could find no other way, but now that he heard Xia Shengqing say this, he gradually came to his senses, his expression relaxed and he sighed: "So what can I do?" , do you want me to watch cousin An Qi die?"

The matter has come to this point, if there is no other way, this prison robbery is a helpless plan!

"Princess, calm down!"

Xia Shengqing firmly held her shoulders before persuading her, "Young Master Liu will be fine, leave this matter to me, and the princess is at ease, I will do my best to keep Young Master Liu safe."

Xia Zijin raised her eyes, hesitant to meet the sincerity in his eyes. If it was in the past, she would have trusted him without hesitation, but those things after that are still a knot in her heart, even though she repeated it again and again. He told himself that Xia Shengqing would not lie to her, but when he thought of those things, he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

"Can you really save your cousin?" She bit her lower lip and asked.

Xia Shengqing didn't doubt him, so she nodded solemnly, why did he ever cheat her?
After pondering for a moment, Xia Zijin agreed, and felt a lot of guilt. She doubted Xia Shengqing so much, but he was still thinking about her. Did she think too much before?

After Li Sangong's cremation, he collected his ashes and sent them to the ancestral hall. General Huwei was a veteran with great authority, and Ming Shengdi inevitably sent his prince to mourn.As the head of all the princes, the prince naturally went, and General Huwei was also a minister of his faction, so he couldn't help comforting him.

It was already night when I returned to the Prince's Mansion, Xia Tian took off his outer robe and was about to take a bath and change clothes, but the palace servant outside the door stooped into the room and bowed respectfully.

"Report to His Highness the Crown Prince, Chief Xia in the palace is asking for an audience."

"Xia Shengqing? What is he doing here so late?" Xia Qin opened his arms and let the maid take off his middle clothes, revealing his naked upper body.

"Forget it, let him in."

Xia Tian waved his hands frequently, moved his neck, and stepped into the bathing pool. The hot mist was steaming around his body. He collapsed and comfortably changed into a leaning position. The famous palace servant stepped forward, one left and one right, and kneaded his shoulders for him.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and Xia Shengqing had already entered the room, and saluted him politely.

"The servant pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Mr. Xia, you don't need to be too polite. You came just in time. Look at this pool of water, which was born from the hot springs on Yuquan Mountain. The water that was picked up by people and poured into this pool must be more nourishing than the ones in the palace. Mr. Xia also agrees. Try it?" Xia Tianqin smiled at him, pressing down on his shoulders with the white and slender hands of the palace servants, enjoying the indescribable luxury.

Xia Shengqing naturally knew that Xia Qin was just talking politely, if he really entered the pool and soaked with Xia Qin, I am afraid that Xia Qin would definitely remember in his heart that he did not distinguish between superiority and inferiority.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. This slave has rough skin and thick flesh, and I dare not disturb His Highness's elegance."

He bent slightly and said: "I came to ask His Highness today to ask for something."

"Oh?" Xia Qin squinted his eyes to look at him, smiled and knew it in his heart, but pretended not to know, "It's really rare that Director Xia also took the initiative to ask for the crown prince."

Xia Shengqing said silently, raised her front robe and bowed straightly.

"Slave, I beg His Highness the Crown Prince to be enough to save the life of Liu Anqi, the eldest son of Liu's family."

Sure enough it was for this.

Xia Tian laughed frequently, and buried himself in the pool water again, the steaming heat rushed towards the upper door.

"Director Xia is embarrassing the prince. The son of Liu's family accidentally killed the youngest son of General Huwei. There is a saying that murder pays for his life. What kind of person is General Huwei? Even the emperor wants to treat him with courtesy. What is the ability to let him go?"

Haha and pushed the words out again, Xia Qin looked at Xia Shengqing's expression seriously, thinking that this Xia Shengqing actually had some sincere thoughts for Xia Zijin, an eunuch also talked about love, and the brother-in-law came out I can't wait to ask myself for help when I have something to do.

General Huwei was originally a member of Xia Qin's banner, and Xia Shengqing was well aware of this, but now Xia Qin was prevaricating him by saying that he could not persuade General Huwei, how could he not see it.

"His Royal Highness, you are the most honorable man besides the emperor, and you will decide the future of this world. Whether you want to let people go or not is a word from His Royal Highness." Xia Shengqing said in a deep voice, "You also know that Liu's family is in trouble because of the matter of Third Young Master Li. I have become enemies with the Li family, the princess has worked so hard for this, and I feel distressed seeing it, so I can only ask you, I think that as long as you are willing to help, His Royal Highness, you will surely be able to save the eldest son of Liu."

He knelt down and knelt down, Xia Tian looked at him for a while, but lamented that this eunuch is sentimental, even his fiancée's brother is so valued by him.

"His Royal Highness, as long as you are willing to help and save Young Master Liu and return safely, the servant will definitely treat you to death, smash your body to pieces, and repay your great kindness without hesitation."

Xia Tianqin rolled his eyes, but he became a little interested. He made friends with Xia Shengqing in order to get information from him. Although Xia Shengqing had indeed helped him a lot these days, he didn't say anything seriously. Come on with heartbreaking words.

"Boss Xia thinks this prince is a philistine, doesn't he? We seem to have more friends than masters and servants. It's a bit too much to say so outrageously." Xia Tianqin paused, then looked at Xia Shengqing with deep meaning, he Let's see how sincere Xia Shengqing is, who wouldn't be able to just promise a few words casually.

"This slave is sincere and sincere. I beg His Royal Highness to save someone, and I will give you a great gift."

"Big gift?"

Xia Qin's smile became stronger when he heard it, and he looked at him impatiently.

"Then the prince wants to see how much this great gift is worth. Director Xia also knows that General Huwei is not an idle person. It is difficult to ask someone from him, and he is also a person who killed his son."

Xia Shengqing sneered in his heart, what's so difficult about being a prince, it's just that he values ​​General Huwei's military power more than the Liu family and doesn't want to offend him.

"Slave understands." He said lightly, raised his eyes and looked around Xia Qin, Xia Qin immediately waved his hands knowingly and sent all the palace people by the bathing pool out.

Only Xia Shengqing and Xia Qin were left in the huge bathing pool room. Xia Qin got up and took a toga from the wooden stand and put it on. Water droplets slid down the texture and fell on the smooth stone slab.

"Now Manager Xia can tell everything."

"Indeed."

He smiled lightly, and raised his hand to signal Xia Shengqing to stand up and speak.

Xia Shengqing nodded slightly, and slowly got up from the ground, her knees became a little numb, and he slightly helped her robe so that she didn't show it.

"The servant's gift is only a few short words, His Royal Highness must listen carefully. The nobleman of Qin served the emperor to bed the night before, and served until very late at night. The emperor suddenly got up and summoned the imperial physician, saying that he was very bored, and told the imperial physician to calm down. The medicinal decoction, Qin Guiren, was sent back to his own palace that night, so as not to disturb the emperor's rest."

Xia Shengqing spoke slowly, but Xia Tianqin's look of anticipation was slightly disappointed. Qin Guiren had already told him about this once, Ming Shengdi was getting old, and he wanted to show off to the imperial concubine, once or twice It's not a big problem, it's naturally unbearable in the long run.Although it shows that the Holy Emperor can be regarded as a restrained person, this nobleman of Qin became a little more presumptuous after he entered the palace. He sent the nobleman back to the imperial doctor in the middle of the night, isn't it obvious that he was too vain in that respect.

"Is this the great gift Manager Xia said?"

Xia Tianqin shook his head, leaned back on the soft chair beside him, picked up the sapphire and python-patterned flagon jug on the table to add a glass for himself, took a sip of the cool sweet wine and rolled his tongue.

"This kind of thing can be easily found out by the eyeliner that the prince has placed in the Qianqing Palace. Why do you need Manager Xia to go all the way to talk about it? It's thinner."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only knows one thing but not the other. It is true that there is nothing unusual until the nobleman Qin returns to the palace, but does His Royal Highness know what happened to the emperor after nobleman Qin returned to his palace?"

Xia Tian raised his eyebrows frequently, motioning him to continue talking.

Xia Shengqing paused and said: "The Jingqi Ningshen decoction prescribed by the imperial physician is just a cover. If the emperor is really just a little tired, why should Qin Guiren be sent away? Then the imperial physician who consulted the doctor will not arrive after resigning." After a quarter of an hour and back again, the medicine prescribed this second time is the real one."

Speaking of this, Xia Qin also got serious, sat up straight and listened carefully.

"The second time the imperial physician prescribed the medicine to invigorate qi and suppress sex, not because of anything else but because of the emperor, he vomited blood."

"what?!"

Xia Qin couldn't sit still anymore, he got up in a hurry and came forward, the wine glass on the table was swept down by his large robe and spilled all over the floor.

"You said Father vomited blood?" He was dubious. Although Ming Shengdi was over sixty years old, his body had always been strong, otherwise he would not have the energy and energy to hold on to the government at his age.

Besides, he didn't receive any news about this matter, let alone someone else.

"Exactly, how did this servant ever deceive His Highness the Crown Prince? At that time, this servant was serving the emperor. After the emperor sent away Qin Guiren, he couldn't help but leaned over and coughed fiercely. The blood he vomited was dark red. It's a bad omen."
