Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 323 Rouge
Xia Shengqing pushed open the door, and saw Xia Zijin was about to cut her pulse, she was frightened out of her wits, rushed forward, and knocked off the dagger in her hand.

Seeing his terrified expression, Xia Zijin was pulled into his arms before he had time to explain, and immediately after, his trembling words fell into her ears, "Zijin, what are you going to do? It's my fault, I shouldn't let you stay alone, let alone let you be wronged, you can beat me and scold me, just don't hurt yourself like this."

Xia Shengqing was trembling all over, and the scene of Xia Zijin lying on the ground covered in blood couldn't help but appear in his mind. If he came a step later...he would see this scene, Xia Shengqing gritted his teeth, his eyes were red.

Xia Zijin sighed, and got out of his arms, seeing his bewildered look, couldn't help but burst out laughing.Seeing her laugh, Xia Shengqing froze for a moment, then saw the cunning in her eyes, and couldn't help frowning, "You..."

"I'm fine, where are you thinking. I just want to verify one thing." Xia Zijin knew that he was scared, so she patted the back of his hand to comfort him.

Xia Shengqing stared at her for a long while, making sure she was not lying to deceive herself, and then heaved a long sigh of relief, then pulled her into her arms again, resting her chin on her head, her voice was hoarse and full of fear. , "Promise me, don't do this again next time. I really don't know what will happen to me if I lose you."

Xia Zijin's heart trembled, as if scalding hot water flowed from her chest, dissipating the chills she had condensed these days.She nodded lightly, as if she had answered Xia Shengqing's words, and the corners of her lips curled into a sneer. She finally lived her life again. Those who harmed her have not received the deepest and most terrifying punishment. How could she go so easily? die.

"Then, tell me, what do you want to prove?" It took Xia Shengqing a long time to believe that she really didn't want to commit suicide, but her intention to hurt her was indeed true.He didn't understand what kind of doubts Xia Zijin had in her heart that made her not hesitate to raise a knife at him.

There was a flash of struggle in Xia Zijin's eyes, and just as she was about to speak, Xin'er's voice sounded with the knock on the door, "Princess, the maid from the palace is here, and she brought a lot of things, which she said was sent by the emperor." Do you want to see the princess?"

If it was something sent by someone else, Xin'er accepted it and accepted it, but just now I saw that the nanny came under the order of the emperor, since Xia Zijin got something, she should go to thank her, so that Ming Shengdi would know, she This daughter remembers his kindness.

Xia Zijin gave Xia Shengqing a reassuring look, and the two walked out hand in hand.The nanny had been waiting in the small flower hall for a long time, and when she saw her coming, she hurriedly saluted with a smile, waved her hand, and asked the maid who followed to open the box, "Princess, these are golden silk yarns from the Western Regions. There are only five horses in total, and you sent two here alone, the emperor really loves you."

While pointing to the silk cloth to introduce, Mammy took out a spice box from her sleeve and opened it in front of Su Wan. Suddenly, a fresh fragrance came to her face, which was like nectar. It smelled very nice. After smelling it, he smiled and said, "Mommy, what is this? Why is it so fragrant?"

"This is also a tribute from the Western Regions. It is called Acacia Fragrance. Except for the empresses in the palace, you have it here, the princess. Besides, all the empresses in the palace use fruit fragrances, but you are the only princess. The emperor said before that you have a lively temperament. , and young, with a fruity scent that is dull, so I specially asked the servants to choose the scent of nectar and send it over."

Seeing her saying good things for Ming Shengdi, Xia Zijin rolled her eyes and laughed, "Father misses my princess so much, this princess really..." She raised her sleeves to cover her face, making a face Very impressed.

Seeing this, the nanny nodded secretly in her heart, and she reported the truth to Emperor Ming after she returned, and did not forget to say a few good words about Xia Zijin.Ming Shengdi never thought that a little reward could make Xia Zijin cry. He felt that he spent too little time with her before, and he felt too guilty for this daughter.

But for a moment, he put this trivial emotion behind him, and Xia Zijin has returned to his side now, and he even bestowed her with supreme glory, which can be regarded as compensation for the grievances she suffered in the past few years.

Ming Shengdi turned his head and saw Concubine Lian was holding her hands, her eyes were downcast, but her complexion was very ugly. He couldn't help but frowned, "What's wrong with Concubine Ai? Look at the preoccupied one, but you and Zijin, what is wrong?"

Yue Jing'an raised her eyes and saw the flash of temptation in Ming Shengdi's eyes, she clenched her palms suddenly, and a smile appeared on her face, "The emperor only cares about Princess Mingzhu, I'm afraid he has forgotten my concubine. My son is not feeling well, originally I didn't want to worry the emperor, but seeing you thinking about Princess Mingzhu like this, this concubine doesn't feel well at all, maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I'm getting sentimental instead."

As she said that, she twisted up her veil and wiped her eyes. Seeing her jealousy, Ming Shengdi burst out laughing and pulled her into his arms, "This matter is indeed my fault. The doctor will come and take a look."

Yue Jing lay on his chest, blushing, stopped him from asking Xiao Xiazi to invite the imperial physician, and faltered and said: "I am here when I am young, I am afraid that I will not be able to serve you these days."

Ming Shengdi didn't expect that this was the physical discomfort she was talking about, he frowned, and just as he was about to speak, he saw her blushing face, she was really shy.

Just as she was about to say something, she heard Xiao Xiazi report that it was the queen who came, Yue Jingan hurriedly got out of Ming Shengdi's arms, her face was like a red glow.Ming Shengdi was swept away, and couldn't help being a little displeased. He frowned a little bit, looked at the queen who came in from the middle door of the main hall, and laughed, "Why is the queen free to come to the imperial study today?"

The queen beckoned, and the people behind came forward with soup, "The emperor is always with Concubine Lian these days, and he forgot what he told his concubines yesterday that he wanted to eat the sturgeon seafood from the Jiangnan tribute. Loyal and loyal, as soon as I heard that the emperor wanted to eat, I hurriedly sent someone to bring it, and my concubine specially ordered the imperial dining room to make it, and it happened that the sister of Concubine Lian was also there, so we might as well have a meal together."

When she spoke, she was gentle and generous, showing the attitude of the mistress of a country, Rao Concubine Lian only wanted to take advantage of Ming Shengdi, seeing her like this, she couldn't help but grit her teeth.But in an instant, she changed her usual posture, bowed to the queen, moved away from her seat, and stood down, "Your Majesty, this concubine had eaten some pastries before, and I really couldn't eat any more. Since the empress has sent me a meal , the concubine will resign first, don't disturb the emperor's mood, it is the concubine's fault."

Seeing her being so courteous, Ming Shengdi was delighted and waved her to back down.As soon as Concubine Lian came out of the hall, she couldn't help snorting coldly, her eyes flashed with murderous intent, and the nurse at the side supported her hand, wondering: "Your Majesty, the empress seldom comes to the imperial study, why are you so enthusiastic today?"

"Now that Xia Bin is dead, Xia Qin and Xia Qixuan are the only ones left in the court, so she must be more courteous." Yue Jing'an clenched her hand tightly and rubbed the center of her brows, "Is there any news from Kunsha?"

"Not yet." Mammy shook her head helplessly.

Yue Jing'an bit her lip, thinking of Xia Zijin's fair face, she couldn't help but snorted, "Tell Kun Sha to hurry up and find him."

As soon as the words fell, she saw Xia Shengqing standing in front of her palace talking, she couldn't help but startled, subconsciously quickened her pace, stood in front of him, frowned at him, "What are you doing here?"

If she was entangled with her servants at the gate of the palace in such a clear day, if someone saw her and told Ming Shengdi, with Ming Shengdi's caution, she might not be able to investigate further, what a nonsense!Yue Jing'an looked at him with a livid face.

Xia Shengqing raised his eyelids, his eyes were as deep as an ancient well, and he licked his lips, "I have something I want to ask Empress Lian for advice. I wonder if Empress Lian can invite me in?"

Being stared at by him, Yue Jing'an couldn't help her scalp tingling. After she realized it, a puff of anger surged up in her chest, and she turned around with a cold snort.Xia Shengqing followed closely behind, and Yue Jing'an Shi Shiran sat on the imperial concubine chair and took a sip from the teacup, "How many times have I told you that you should not come to me if you have nothing to do? Why did you come here so blatantly?" Not crazy?"

"Concubine Mother." Xia Shengqing interrupted her next words, "What did you do to Zijin?"

In his mind, he recalled the scene where Xia Zijin pointed a knife at him, subconsciously clenched the palms hanging by his side, and stared at Yue Jing'an intently.When he came out of Xia Zijin's room, he asked Xin'er about Xia Zijin's itinerary today. When he learned that she only came to visit Yue Jing'an today, he almost collapsed.

At that moment, Xia Shengqing came into the palace to ask Yue Jing'an here. Seeing that Yue Jing'an didn't show any expression at this moment, and could still reprimand him as usual, Xia Shengqing's suppressed anger finally broke out in full force. He forcibly held back the anger in his heart, Looking at Yue Jing'an with scorching eyes.

Yue Jing'an was taken aback, and after a while, she realized that he entered the palace this time for Xia Zijin to question herself, her heart that had just raised expectations immediately cooled down, she slapped the table, and said angrily: "What are you doing?" What do you mean? I thought you found your mistake when you came here, but I didn’t expect that you came to question me, okay! You are really nice, I think you are fascinated by that woman and don’t even know your last name gone."

"Concubine Mu, Zijin only visited you in the palace today, if you hadn't said something to her, how could she have wanted to commit suicide?" Seeing that she refused to admit it, Xia Shengqing couldn't help but increase her tone.

Yue Jing'an sneered, "Since she is going to die, she will die, so what does she have to do with me! Xia Shengqing, have you forgotten who raised you for so many years? Do you really want to disobey me for the son of your enemy?"
