Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 265 Finally got started

Through the moonlight, Xia Zijin could clearly see the large area of ​​exposed skin on the back of Xia Shengqing's neck, and saw a mark that did not belong to him on the smooth and healthy complexion.

It was a tattoo of a roc bird, the tip of its feathers was delicately depicted, and its posture was calm and flamboyant.

Xia Zijin's heart, which was still a little passionate just now, suddenly cooled down. She pulled Xia Shengqing out of her neck, and pulled down his skirt a little, so that she could see the tattoo. Be more explicit.

"Zijin, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Shengqing's eyes were still full of affection, and her tone was also low-key. She seemed a little dissatisfied when Xia Zijin was suddenly pushed out of her arms, and she made a gesture to move closer.

And Xia Zijin carefully took a closer look at the tattoo on the lower back of Xia Shengqing's neck, and frowned more and more as he looked at it.

On that day, the tattoo on the back of Shadow's neck was also a bird.It's just that compared with the blue roc bird on the back of the shadow, the one under the back of Xia Shengqing's neck has a faint golden color, and it is only the size of a knuckle. Difficult to detect.

The shadow hasn't appeared since that day, but she always felt that he was following in line, just like he suddenly appeared in front of Huerhe and saved her life that day. If Xia Shengqing was in any danger, she would call him The master's shadow will definitely appear immediately.

What does this roc bird tattoo represent?What kind of identities did Xia Shengqing form with Shadow?
Xia Zijin only felt that she had fallen into a deep hole. She wanted to clear the fog to find the truth, but she also wanted to wait until one day Xia Shengqing told her personally.

"Shengqing, are you really an orphan?"

She suddenly asked softly, with a bit of hesitation in her tone, she didn't want to doubt Xia Shengqing, at least after going through so many things with him, she couldn't doubt his heart anymore.

Xia Shengqing's face was still red and hot, looking at the beautiful woman who cut her pupils in front of her, a soft place in her heart seemed to be tugged.

He lowered his eyes, stretched out his hand to gently and carefully fasten Xia Zijin's ripped clothes, as if he was trying to endure something, held Xia Zijin's cheek and kissed her on the forehead, and gently kissed her. into the arms.

"Zijin. I don't want to lie to you." He sighed, "I have a secret, but I can't tell it right now. It's not for anything else, it's just not the time yet."

The breath in her ear made Xia Zijin sigh, and she knew he would not speak easily, but this was the best answer compared to cheating.

Forget it, she has plenty of time, and he will always speak.

However, what should she do if there is something unacceptable hidden behind the truth?
On the carriage, the two hugged each other, but they had different melancholy in their hearts.And the queue was still moving forward steadily. Under the dark moonlight, the soldiers held torches in their hands, and the long dragon-like team was like a sea of ​​fire with bright stars, climbing between the mountains.

In the inner hall of Qianqing Palace, eight sea pearl tow silk candles were burning, shining as brightly as day.

Ming Shengdi sat on the high platform, stroking his beard and drinking wine, admiring the graceful and delicate postures of the dancers wearing silk and misty gauze below, with indescribable joy in his eyes.

It's not because of Wu Huanxi, but because he received a report from the frontier in the early morning, saying that the crown prince led the Dalai elite soldiers to wipe out all the Xiongnu troops, wiped out the enemy generals, and captured five high-ranking lieutenants .

Not only that, this battle also rescued General Jingwu who had been "dead" for more than ten years from the Huns. A generation of famous generals reappeared in front of the people, and the momentum of the whole army was particularly high.

Ming Shengdi laughed out loud immediately, and ordered people to arrange to renovate General Jingwu's mansion, and only waited for the day when General Jingwu returned to move in again.

Tonight he recruited a dancer girl to clean the palace for the first time, it can be seen that he is indeed in a good mood, and his complexion is particularly rosy.

Compared to Ming Shengdi's joy, Shui Yanran, who was sitting by the side to accompany her, was not in a good mood.

Xia Qinrong's return to court is undoubtedly a big threat to Xia Bin. Although the army is still on the way and they don't rush back to the capital so quickly, Xia Bin still can't bear his temper and repeatedly asks Shui Yanran to come back tonight. hands on.

She was biting her lip at this moment, holding the bottle containing the poison Xia Bin gave her with her fingertips hidden in her sleeves, her palms were a little wet with tension.

"My concubine, what are you doing there?"

She was lowering her head and thinking about how to poison Ming Shengdi calmly, but she heard a voice reeking of alcohol entering her ears. Ming Shengdi seemed to have drunk too much and was a little unconscious.

"I called you twice and asked you to pour wine for me, why didn't you move?" Ming Shengdi's blushing brows burped, "Aren't you happy for me?"

Shui Yanran forced a smile, then stuffed the bottle containing the poison a few inches, moved her body in front of him, picked up the jug lightly with her bare hands, and denied it with a smile while pouring the wine: "What did the emperor say? In other words, we Dalai defeated the Xiongnu and rescued General Jingwu, while your dragon heart is happy, we concubines are naturally happy for the emperor and Dalai."

After finishing speaking, she sighed again, and said tentatively: "That is to say, His Royal Highness is so capable, and he fought the battle so well with the soldiers assigned to him by the emperor. After returning to Beijing, the emperor will definitely treat the prince It is a reward from His Highness. After this great battle, His Highness the Crown Prince's reputation among the soldiers in Dalai will definitely rise, and it will be extremely beneficial for His Highness the Crown Prince to inherit the Great Reign in the future, so you can rest assured, Your Majesty!"

Ming Shengdi was holding a glass of wine with a smile on his face, but his face changed a little after hearing Shui Yanran's words, but he didn't pause for too long, just continued to hold the wine down his throat as before for a moment.

"Hey, His Highness the Crown Prince is indeed the heir apparent of a country, and his abilities are extraordinary. Compared to Bin'er, Bin'er is much inferior. If Bin'er can have half the ability of His Royal Highness, then he can also share your worries for the Emperor." It's over."

"Worries. Heh, maybe it is." Ming Shengdi responded lightly, but unconsciously clenched the hand holding the wine glass.

Although he still had the same expression on his face as before, most of the joy from the heart in his brows and eyes dissipated after Shui Yanran's words.

Originally, when the good news came back from the frontier, he was just happy that he had forced the Huns back and rescued General Jingwu, but he didn't pay attention to Xia Tianqin winning the hearts of the soldiers.

At this time, Jing Shui Yanran deliberately reminded him, and he suddenly felt that the worry about this matter was greater than the joy.

I saw that Ming Shengdi's pupils also began to take on the color of calculation. If Xia Qin really won the hearts of the soldiers this time, then it is hard to guarantee that he will not use these to win over power and fight for his power in the future. his bit.
This is a taboo and a great misfortune.

Shui Yanran saw that what she said just now had an effect, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that now is the best time to act. ?
Shui Yanran quickly uncorked the bottle hidden in her sleeve, then used her little fingertip to insert into the narrow mouth of the bottle, dipped in the poison powder, and then carefully put the cap back, the whole movement scolded .

"Your majesty, my concubine will offer you another toast!"

Shui Yanran smiled, holding the jug in her hand to add wine to Ming Shengdi, looking at Ming Shengdi with calculating eyes, as if she was sending a glance, but her little fingertips were falling when the wine poured down. Stretching forward secretly, at the moment Ming Shengdi didn't notice, the wine washed down the powder stained on the tip of her little finger, mixed together in an instant, and rolled into the cup.

"En." Ming Shengdi didn't have the slightest doubt, and took the wine glass that Shui Yanran handed to him. He was still thinking about how to weaken Xia Qin, and he didn't notice the tension and expectation behind Shui Yanran's flattering smile.

The cold wine was slowly inhaled along Ming Shengdi's throat, and flowed through his throat into his abdomen.

Shui Yanran felt ecstasy in her heart, her hands tightly clenched in her sleeves, just waiting for Ming Shengdi to drink the whole glass of wine.

At this moment, Ming Shengdi suddenly frowned, and spit out the unswallowed wine in his mouth with a puff.Along with the liquor, there was also a steady stream of fresh blood sprayed from Ming Shengdi's mouth!

Ming Shengdi seemed to be unbelievable, and there was a cooing sound in his throat, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"Jiuli. Jiuli" His words were fragmented, and he couldn't even put together a complete sentence, and he turned to Shui Yanran with an expression of disbelief.

Shui Yanran bit her lower lip lightly, secretly annoyed why Ming Shengdi didn't drink the rest of the wine together.

"Your majesty, don't blame the concubine for being cruel. You have been sitting in this position for too long. It's time to take a break." She sighed faintly, as if feeling a little helpless, but she would soon be Its own greed and desire are replaced.

"You bitch." Ming Shengdi began to sit unsteadily, and fell back clutching his chest, spitting out thick black blood from his mouth, "Why did you hurt me, me, me?" I'm going to kill you!"

He had calculated thousands of times, but he didn't expect that he would fall into Shui Yanran's hands. He is the emperor, the supreme being, how dare she? !

Hearing Ming Shengdi's complaints, Shui Yanran gave a chuckle, shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine has served you for so many years, no merit but hard work, in your eyes, my concubine is A bitch?"

She let out a breath slowly, at this moment, she didn't regret at all that she poisoned Xia Bin, at least in order to fulfill her big dream, at least she could watch the world with the man she loves after it was done.

As for the person in front of her, half of her youth was spent in his harem, how could she not resent her?

The underground dancers had already screamed and fled because of Ming Shengdi's death, and the guards around Ming Shengdi were also secretly replaced by Xia Bin. Right now, Ming Shengdi was lying on his back with cramping pain in his stomach, and he couldn't even breathe in or out. find it difficult.
