Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 317 Sue
Concubine Lian subconsciously glanced at Xia Shengqing, and as expected, seeing the shocked expression on his face, she couldn't help but clenched her fingers tightly, and raised her heart.Ming Shengdi naturally didn't know what they were thinking, but it was early morning, and all the ministers were discussing matters. As a princess, how decent it was for her to come here, Ming Shengdi immediately planned to ask someone to stop her outside and wait.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the palace man finished speaking, Xia Zijin's figure walked in step by step from outside the palace. The courtiers subconsciously looked at her, and their eyes fell on her full head of white hair. one after another.

Seeing her appearance, Ming Shengdi involuntarily swallowed the reprimand that came to his lips, and stared at her with wide eyes.With the support of Xin'er, Xia Zijin suppressed the discomfort in her body, straightened her waist, walked up to Ming Shengdi, bent her knees, knelt down with a "plop", touched her head to the ground, and walked respectfully. He gave a big gift, "I have seen my father. My son came here today to ask my father for something."

Xin'er also knelt down and kowtowed, and Ming Shengdi came back to his senses. Seeing her appearance, he couldn't help being startled, and quickly asked for a seat, "What's going on? How did you become Like this?"

As soon as the words fell, Ming Shengdi's eyes full of anger fell on Xia Shengqing, "Xia Aiqing, I gave you the jewel in my palm, did I let you ruin it like this? I haven't seen her for a few days, and I turned her into such an old appearance. "

Xia Shengqing's heart trembled, he really didn't understand why Xia Zijin had promised him to be patient last night, so why did he bring this matter to Emperor Ming again this morning.He wanted to return to his thoughts, but his expression of sincerity and fear quickly appeared on his face. He hurriedly descended the steps, joined Xia Zijin, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Ming Shengdi, "Your Majesty, the princess is in poor health these days, that's why I'm doing this." With gray hair, I have already found a cure, and I will be able to cure the princess's illness in a short time, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." He gave Xia Zijin a wink as he said.

"Zijin, is he telling the truth?" Ming Shengdi looked a little better, and asked Xia Zijin instead.

Xia Zijin bowed his head and sneered twice, stood up with Xin'er's support, instead of sitting on the chair, he straightened up and looked at Ming Shengdi, and said loudly: "Father, my son is indeed ill. "

Hearing what she said, Xia Shengqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, Xia Zijin kept his reaction in his eyes, and the corners of his lips slowly raised, "However, whether it is illness or poisoning, please ask the emperor to ask the imperial physician to check on your daughter. .”

Xia Shengqing saw that she really didn't care about telling the matter, and his face turned ashen. Thinking that he would no longer be able to get the antidote from Yue Jing'an, he couldn't help but feel as if his heart had been gouged out.

The meaning in Xia Zijin's words could not be more clear, Ming Shengdi was furious, "Xia Shengqing, what is going on, you tell me the truth."

Xia Shengqing closed her eyes, with a struggling look on her face. If he confessed to Yilian, Xia Zijin would be doomed. What's more, if Yilian couldn't bear the threat, she would talk nonsense in this hall and bite the moon Jing'an...Xia Shengqing was struggling in his heart, and in Xia Zijin's eyes, he was still thinking about Yilian, and immediately sneered.

"Father, since Sheng Qing is unwilling to say it, let me say it. I rescued a woman from the street more than a month ago, and brought her with me when I saw her poor life. I didn't expect her to fall in love with my husband. Even more so, he did not hesitate to poison the son-in-law so as to coerce Sheng Qing into having sex with her, so he was willing to take out the antidote to save the son-in-law's life. The son-in-law would rather die than share his husband with others." Xia Zijin gritted her teeth and stood in front of Xia Shengqing, speaking word by word, her palm-sized cheeks were extremely determined.

All the ministers gasped, never expecting such a black-hearted woman in this world, Ming Shengdi turned to look at Xia Shengqing, his tiger eyes were full of questions, "Xia Aiqing, what the princess said is the truth? "

Ming Shengdi's tone was full of anger, and Xia Qin, who was standing at the bottom, couldn't help curling his lips, and when he thought of Xia Zijin's appearance at the moment, he immediately gloated.Xia Qixuan at the side quickly glanced at Ming Shengdi, put his hands in his sleeves, hesitating whether to speak for Xia Shengqing, but in the end he suppressed the idea of ​​taking this opportunity to show his favor to Xia Shengqing, and stood aside in a proper manner.

When things got to this point, even if Xia Shengqing wanted to protect Yilian, she had no choice but to nod and admit, "That's true."

Yue Jing'an, who was sitting next to the emperor, was already sitting there, eyes full of disbelief, looking at Xia Zijin with a little bit of resentment, her palm tightly clutching the handkerchief, wishing she could go down and kill Xia Zijin at this very moment. Jin's mouth was poisonously dumb, so that she could not speak.

"Where is that maidservant now?" As a maidservant who covets her master's husband, it's nothing more than a heinous crime if she dares to poison her master. The veins on Ming Shengdi's forehead twitched and he stared closely at Xia Shengqing.If Xia Shengqing was just pretending to play with that maidservant in exchange for an antidote for Xia Zijin's illness, she would naturally not hide it for her. If Xia Shengqing dared to make a fake show and insult the Royal Tianwei... Thinking of this, Ming Shengdi was a little embarrassed. A killing intent burst out from the cloudy pupils.

"Still in the mansion." Xia Shengqing sighed secretly in his heart, thinking about the long paragraph Xia Zijin said just now, he couldn't help clenching the palms hanging on both sides, and the sharp nails were deeply embedded in the flesh and blood. If he was willing to drag himself out, he fulfilled her wish and told Yilian to return all the humiliation he had given Xia Zijin these days. A sharp light flashed in Xia Shengqing's eyes, and he raised his head, "The maid's name is Yilian, Also ask the emperor to arrest her and order her to hand over the antidote."

While speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Yue Jingan, who was sitting at the top, who was obviously half-dead from anger but still tried his best to maintain a smile. He wiped away the last hesitation in his heart, and spoke firmly.If afterward, the concubine mother is not willing to save Zijin, he just dies with her, it is better than two people who are obviously husband and wife, but go further and further apart.

Ming Shengdi immediately waved his hand and asked the guards to go to the son-in-law's mansion to fetch him.

Yilian was still dreaming of marrying Xia Shengqing, so she was escorted into the palace by a group of guards. As soon as she entered, she saw Xia Shengqing's figure. As soon as her eyes lit up, she was about to shout out, and then she noticed a pair of cold like With the cold eyes, she subconsciously stopped the phrase "Brother Yong" that she was about to spit out, and looked up, and happened to meet Xia Zijin's black and white eyes, like a Buddha statue enshrined in a temple in the wilderness, telling her to just look at it. After one glance, he trembled with fear.

Until now, Yilian didn't realize where she was, and felt uneasy, her knees suddenly hurt, and she was escorted by the guards to kneel down.

Ming Shengdi's eyes fell on her, and seeing that she kept looking at Xia Shengqing since entering the palace, he became even more angry, and immediately snorted coldly, "You are Yilian?"

Yilian was the first maidservant to be favored by the emperor and asked her name, but unfortunately it was not a good thing.Yilian glanced at the sneering smile on Xia Zijin's face, then looked at the courtiers in the room, the heat in the palm of his hand gradually dropped to freezing point, "Slave is."

Yilian was panicked and uneasy, she already vaguely guessed that Xia Zijin was standing in the court hall like this, clearly suing the emperor.Hearing her answer, Ming Shengdi twitched his lips, making it impossible to guess his mood at the moment, "Say, why did you poison the princess? Who is behind it?"

If it was another reason, Emperor Ming could still believe a thing or two, but Xia Shengqing was an eunuch, and if he was an eunuch, it would be a bit ridiculous for a maid who could be fascinated to poison the current princess regardless of life or death.Therefore, Ming Shengdi did not believe the reason Xia Zijin just said.

Yilian trembled involuntarily, took a peek at Yue Jing'an, saw her stern face, couldn't help but startled, and then saw Yue Jing'an's mouth move, Yilian hesitated for a moment, then made up her mind and bit her The tooth said: "The emperor, please forgive me! Slave... I really admire the son-in-law, so I did such a thing in a moment of confusion, and I begged the emperor to spare my life! Slave, I am willing to take out the antidote, I only ask the emperor to spare the life of this slave." .”

"Forgive me?" Ming Shengdi did not get the answer he imagined, and his heart became even more angry, his face was so gloomy that he almost wrung water out, "Since you dare to attack the princess, you should know the consequences, and dare to ask me, come People, pull her down, beat her hard, and search the house to see if there is any antidote."

The guard standing beside him immediately stepped forward and pulled Yilian down.A moment later, a woman's heart-piercing cry sounded outside, one body taller than the other, and then suddenly there was no sound, Yue Jing'an wringed her fingers, wishing that she would be beaten to death just like this, so that she could not hold on to the punishment, and turned around Bite yourself out.

But after a while, a guard came in and told Yilian that he had passed out, and the leader of the Imperial Guard who went to search the son-in-law's mansion also came in, saying that he searched through Yilian's things, but found no antidote.Ming Shengdi had a sullen face, and the expression in his eyes changed, "Wake up that maidservant and bring him in."

Yilian was dragged in, her buttocks and legs had been broken, bloody and bloody, Xia Zijin watched without changing expression, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth from beginning to end, on the contrary, Xin'er saw her like this, I couldn't help being a little terrified, thinking of what she did to Xia Zijin again, I gave a ruthless pooh in my heart, feeling that she deserved what she deserved.

"Save...save me." Yilian's eyes were blurred, her anger was oily, and only two words could come out of her mouth.

Yue Jing'an looked at her movement of raising her hand, afraid that she would point at herself, so she hurriedly smiled and looked at Ming Shengdi, "Your Majesty, this maid has been beaten up like this, she can't even speak well. If the trial continues, I'm afraid she will die." It's all gone."

Facing the scrutinizing gaze of the Holy Emperor Shangming, Yue Jing'an suppressed the tension in her heart, "It's fine that this maid is dead, I'm afraid it's not worthwhile to involve Princess Mingzhu to be buried with her. Why don't the emperor hand her over to his concubine, The concubine will ask her to hand over the antidote."

"Is there a way for Concubine Ai to let her go?" Ming Shengdi frowned, tapped his fingers on the table, and stared at her closely.
