Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 224 Xia Shengqing's Fight Back
"Oh? What's the answer?" Ming Shengdi hurriedly sat up straight and asked.

Hearing that he yelled "Auspiciousness from Heaven" twice just now, the dark clouds on his face also dispersed in an instant.

The minister raised his face, held the compass in both hands and bowed his hands to Ming Shengdi and said: "The emperor doesn't know something. When I just made a divination, God made its will come down on the hexagram of this humble minister."

"The hexagrams clearly show that the Qi orchids bloom out of season this time, which foretells that there will be happy events in our Dalai Dynasty."

"This flower symbolizes peace and auspiciousness, and blooming in the prince's mansion of our Dalai Kingdom must indicate that the noble people in our Dalai will rise against the wind just like the meaning of this flower, Kang Ruixiangtai!"

In the whole world, apart from the emperor of a country, where is the most honorable person?

The minister's words pointed to the appearance of the strange flower in Xiaqin's mansion in the open and in the dark, but it showed the direction of the sky: Ming Shengdi will be peaceful and eternal, better than the past!
After Ming Shengdi heard it, he was very happy, and he patted his knee and laughed loudly.

"It must be that I am busy with state affairs all day long, and the attitude of loving the people and worrying about the country has moved the heavens. It is true that these are the things I should do as an emperor, but this time I can get auspicious omens from the heavens. It is really a blessing for the country. I am so lucky!"

Ming Shengdi has not been in good health recently, if he can respond to the auspicious omen and recover from his health, then he will be able to sit firmly on the throne for another ten years or so.

What else could make Ming Shengdi more elated than such a thing?

As soon as the chief envoy of this side finished admonishing Ming Shengdi, Xia Qin of the other side personally carried the auspicious Phoenix-tailed Qi Lan into the palace.

Today's Xia Qin specially wore a dark ochre-colored brocade gown.

He was already very skinny, and the brocade robe was neatly wrapped around his waist with a thin belt, and a jade pendant with long tassels was hung on the right side, making it even more obvious that he was trapped in one place, with an indescribable treachery. narrow sense.

"I see my father, my father, long live my father, long live my father!"

At this time, Xia Qin held the Phoenix-tail Qilan in one hand, and kowtowed respectfully to Ming Shengdi with the other hand.

After offending Ming Shengdi before, he hid in his mansion to avoid the wind, so he hadn't been summoned by Ming Shengdi for several days, and today he came uninvited, naturally he wanted to grab Ming Shengdi's face Go out on your own before you come to summon him.

"Prince, hurry up and get up!"

Ming Shengdi gave Xia Qinxu a hand, and although he was talking to him, his eyes were fixed on Zhu Qilan in Xia Qin's arms.

I saw that the leaves of the flower were very bright and dark green, and the buds were already in a state of vigorous blooming. It is said that when the Pteris orchid is in full bloom, the stamens have vermilion spots, and the leaves between the flowers show soft red and white lines , resembling the appearance of a curly phoenix tail.

And this Qilan plant is quite different in Ming Sheng's eyes, the leaves are curly and shaped like a sleeping dragon clinging to the branches, and the petals in full bloom are presented in a strange shape. From the side, it looks like auspicious clouds standing on the top, which is really wonderful.

If he saw this kind of exotic flowers and plants on weekdays, Ming Shengdi would just take a quick look at them if he was not interested, but this time it has a very different meaning to him. This Qi Lan that blooms in winter , but came with the blessings bestowed on him by heaven.

Therefore, this flower undoubtedly became a treasure-like existence in the eyes of Ming Shengdi.

"Is this flower blooming in your mansion?" Ming Shengdi asked again and again while pinching his gray beard and looking at Qi Lan with satisfaction, he couldn't stop nodding.

Xia Qin nodded and said: "That's right, my son slept very deeply yesterday, and he didn't notice any different movements from the Qilan plant that he had been raising all this time. After all, it's a cold winter day. Who Knowing that when I was sleeping soundly, the phoenix-tailed Qi Lan placed on the window case suddenly shone like a golden light, and I was summoned from my dream by this wonderful scene, so I rubbed my eyes when I sat up, Knowing that I didn't see it wrong, I exclaimed in my heart how amazing it is!"

"My son thinks that this phoenix-tailed Qilan has always symbolized the image of Kangtai. Since it shows this image at night, it must be a sign of auspiciousness. Father sees that the flowers and leaves have a faint image of dragon and phoenix. Maybe it's because the heavens have some intentions for the father, the minister did not dare to neglect, and immediately presented this flower to the father!"

Ming Shengdi was very pleased by Xia Qin's sensible attitude. He nodded again and again, then raised his hand and called Xia Shengqing, who was waiting beside him, to bring the Phoenix-tailed Qilan to him, so that he could see it It is clearer, and it can also be closer to the oracle of heaven.

Xia Qin naturally didn't have any doubts about Ming Shengdi's move. Seeing Xia Shengqing bowed to him respectfully, he held the phoenix-tailed Qilan in his arms with both hands. , turned around and walked towards Ming Shengdi.

When Xia Shengqing turned around, he specially gave him a look, indicating that he should act safely. Right now is the time when Ming Shengdi is in full bloom and in a good mood. As long as he can seize the opportunity, let Xia Shengqing help him from time to time , his status in Ming Shengdi's heart will rise sharply.

Who would have thought that this direction of heaven's will was created by himself.

But there is no difference, when he ascends the throne of the king of Dalai, he will be the most honorable person in the world, and he has the final say on what life is the same as the sky and the earth, and what life is healthy and peaceful.

Just as Xia Tianqin was immersed in the fantasy of his rising day by day, Ming Shengdi also looked at the Phoenix-tailed Qilan, dreaming that he could sit firmly on the throne of the king for decades.

One step, two steps.

Just when Xia Shengqing was about to walk in front of Ming Shengdi, he was about to walk in front of Ming Shengdi, but suddenly his face showed pain, he frowned in an extremely strange way, and coughed violently.

This cough also made Xia Shengqing's gait a little unsteady, and his hands trembled a little. The Qi Lan plant was held in his arms, and it was about to slip to the ground.

Seeing the Qirui flower bestowed on him by heaven crumbling in Xia Shengqing's arms, Ming Shengdi became angry again, and hurriedly reprimanded him: "Hurry up and hold it up, if you destroy the auspicious flower bestowed on me by heaven, Lan, I will never forgive you lightly!"

Xia Shengqing responded again and again, resisting the discomfort in his chest and stepped forward again, but before he could take a step, he suddenly spit out a small mouthful of blood, rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

The Phoenix-tailed Qi Lanlan also fell to the ground because of Xia Shengqing's fall. The porcelain pot fell to pieces, and the dark pot soil was scattered all over the ground.Like a falling mascot, Qi Lan fell to the ground with a thud, which made Ming Shengdi feel distressed.

It's just that Xia Shengqing's sudden attack made Ming Shengdi even more suspicious.

Xia Shengqing was still staying by her side just now, and there was nothing wrong with serving her all day long, and Xia Shengqing has always acted prudently, and she would definitely not lose her bearing in front of her because of any stubborn illness.

The thoughts in his heart turned a thousand times at this time, the more Ming Shengdi thought about it, the more something was wrong, he immediately called the palace servants to come to him, and ordered him to go to Chuan Tai Physician to see Xia Shengqing.And that phoenix-tailed Qi Lan was already picked up by Ming Shengdi's order, and he held it aside and waited.

Seeing Xia Shengqing's side suddenly go wrong, Xia Qin's heart skipped a beat, always feeling a little ominous.

But he didn't dare to jump to conclusions. After all, Xia Shengqing didn't tell him about the idea of ​​using auspicious omens to deceive Ming Shengdi's trust and favor. He had never met Xia Shengqing before, so he probably didn't understand the meaning .

With such anxiety in his heart, Xia Qin didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only take one step at a time.

After the imperial physician summoned by Ming Shengdi entered the palace, he took off the medicine box and pinched Xia Shengqing's already black wrist to feel the pulse. Xia Shengqing, who had just fainted for a moment, had dark lips that were already purple, with The meridians on the wrist also showed a dark purple color.

The imperial physician was feeling Xia Shengqing's pulse, while frowning deeply, shaking his head and sighing: "Strange thing, strange thing! I have been taking the pulse of others in this palace for many years, and I have never seen such a fierce and vicious pulse." Poison. It seems that Director Xia was poisoned by the toxin in less than a quarter of an hour. up.

"Poisoned?!"

Ming Shengdi's eyes widened in shock, Xia Shengqing was with him all the time, how could he have time to get poisoned?

The doubts on his side have not been solved yet, but the other palace servant who was holding the Qilan plant aside for Shengdi Ming suddenly fell to the ground, spitting blood like Xia Shengqing.

Ming Shengdi was shocked, and immediately asked the imperial physician to diagnose the palace man again, and had a terrible guess in his mind.

Sure enough, as Ming Shengdi had expected, the palace man's pulse condition and symptoms were the same as Xia Shengqing's, and he had also suffered from the same poison as him.

With such naked facts in front of him, it was difficult for Shengdi Ren Ming not to think too much about it.

His sharp and dark eyes turned to look at Xia Qin in an instant, which contained too many inexplicable meanings.

Xia Qin came today to ask for credit, but the plan was not successful, but the situation suddenly turned around and pointed the finger at himself. Xia Qin was also a little confused. He didn't think of words for a while, but just cried and cried .

"Father, why are you looking at my son so suspiciously! My son doesn't know why Director Xia and another member of the palace were suddenly poisoned. The flower belonged to my son. I held it on the way here, and I didn't leave it all the way." What's the problem, I don't know what's going on!"

Ming Shengdi snorted coldly, and said: "I haven't expressed my doubts yet, but you are in a hurry to defend yourself."
