Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 360
Seeing that she fell into Xia Qin's trap without knowing it, and she looked completely stupid like being sold and counting money for others, Xia Zijin couldn't help shaking her head and sighing, Liu Nianxia thought she was mocking him, her face froze, and she quickly moved The imperial decree was put away, and he looked at Xia Zijin dryly, "Does Princess Mingzhu have anything else to do?"

"The princess has nothing to do. I just want to ask Aunt Liu when she plans to move into the Prince's Mansion. If it is said that the aunt of His Highness the Prince wants to be taken care of by the princess, it would be too ugly." Xia Zijin spread her hands and looked With a thoughtful tone for Xia Tian, ​​each aunt named Liu Nianxia's heart hurts.

Liu Nianxia's sharp nails were tightly digging on the armrest of the chair, trying to control his desire to sneer, with a knife-like smile on his face, "Princess Mingzhu was joking, the prince has already told his concubine, and he will come to pick him up soon." The concubine walked through the door."

Xia Zijin curled her lips into a smile, seeing her face change, and suddenly lost interest in continuing to mock her.Of course Liu Nianxia deserved to die, but seeing her about to step into hell, Xia Zijin couldn't help but lose interest, left and right, Liu Nianxia had already received her retribution.

At that moment, Xia Zijin turned and left without saying anything.Seeing her stepping out, Liu Nianxia breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of the undisguised pity and sympathy in Xia Zijin's eyes just now, she panicked inexplicably, but soon, she forcibly suppressed the panic rising in her heart, comforting herself over and over again The choice is correct.

When Xia Zijin returned to the room, he had just drank a glass of water to warm himself up when the door was pushed open. Xia Shengqing rubbed his hands and came in, followed by a gust of cold wind.Xia Zijin coughed immediately, and her already pale face became even paler.Xia Shengqing quickly closed the door, walked up to her quickly, and ordered Xin'er to light up the charcoal fire, and then took the thermos pot and stuffed it into Xia Zijin's hand.

Only then did Xia Zijin feel warmer, and the blood on her face gradually returned. Seeing her weak appearance, Xia Shengqing felt even more pity in her heart, and stretched out her hand to embrace her.Xia Zijin leaned on his chest and drew a circle, "Sheng Qing, do you still want to follow this year's winter hunting?"

"I'm going." Xia Shengqing nodded, "It's just a pity for your body, but it's wronged you to wait in the mansion for my husband. Don't worry, my husband will definitely hunt a fox for you and make you a jacket , keep you warm this winter."

Xia Zijin suddenly laughed, "Look at what you said, it seems that without the fox fur, I would not be able to survive this winter. My body has suffered a bit, but it is not as serious as you think."

Seeing her comforting herself, Xia Shengqing became even more flustered and gasped involuntarily, her eyes fell on the fern flower on her forehead, her fingers subconsciously caressed it, and after she reacted, she quickly withdrew her hand, "Zi Jin, I……"

"Does it look good?" Xia Zijin interrupted him suddenly, and asked with a smile, "Look at you, if you don't know, you might think I'm disfigured, but I think this peanut looks good."

Xia Shengqing stared at her blankly, seeing that she didn't seem to be telling a lie, she suddenly laughed, "It's pretty."

As he was talking, he heard Xin'er report that Mrs. Liu was visiting.Xia Zijin was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that she had heard it wrong. It stands to reason that Mrs. Liu is her grandmother, so there is no reason to visit her in person. He stood up suddenly and walked out quickly.

Xia Shengqing followed closely behind, and when they arrived at the Xiaohua Hall, they could see Mrs. Liu's upright body from a distance. Because of her special status, the maid who received the mansion specially adjusted the high-backed chair for Mrs. Liu to sit on.Xia Zijin's footsteps paused. In the final analysis, Mrs. Liu admitted that she was wrong that day, and she was not without pimples, so she had always been indifferent before the arrival of Liu's mansion.

During these days, she did not go to Liu's residence.While Xia Zijin was thinking wildly, she had already walked up to Mrs. Liu, and when she saw Mrs. Liu's face clearly, she couldn't help but turn pale with shock, "Grandmother, what's wrong with you?"

The hair that was only mixed with a few white hairs turned out to be all white at this moment. After Xia Zijin finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at the nurse who was serving Mrs. Liu. The nurse opened her mouth, as if she was about to speak, but finally swallowed it. go back.Xia Zijin understood immediately, and sighed secretly, she only blamed her for taking care of her own feelings these days, and forgot the guilt in Mrs. Liu's heart for admitting the wrong person.

Mrs. Liu looked her up and down, and her gaze was involuntarily attracted by the fern flower in the middle of her brow, her gaze was fixed on it immediately, her lips trembled a little, she couldn't hold back, and pulled her into her arms, "Zi Jin , blame grandma for harming you."

Xia Zijin heard her calling her name instead of the princess, so she didn't understand. Mrs. Liu ran over here because she was worried about losing her relatives, and apologized to her, so as to alleviate the guilt in her heart.Speaking of it, what Mrs. Liu values ​​is family affection, not whether she can bring benefits to the Liu family.Thinking like this, Xia Zijin's cold heart gradually warmed up.

Here, Xia Zijin and Mrs. Liu settled their suspicions, and their grandparents enjoyed themselves happily. In the palace, Yue Jing'an even lost her son.When she learned that Xia Qin was going to marry Liu Nianxia, ​​she couldn't help but sneered three times, and immediately sent someone to send a letter to Xia Qin.

She did not expect that Xia Qin would have such courage. If she guessed correctly, Xia Qixuan would be unlucky next. The more limelight he got, the easier it was to arouse Ming Shengdi's suspicion.Poor Ming Shengdi is still clinging to the throne despite his age. No wonder Xia Qin and the others hope that he will die early. If they wait for him to die with peace of mind, the day lily may be cold.

The nanny opened the door and came in. She saw Yue Jingan's disdainful smile, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward. A little impatient, "What happened, tell me quickly."

"The emperor went to the queen's place this morning." The nanny lowered her voice and told Yue Jing'an the news she had found out.

Yue Jing'an pinched the flower bone with a little force, and the petals fell to the ground one after another, and her eyes instantly showed fierceness, "That maidservant is ready, go and tell her that she doesn't have to live anymore. As for her family, Bengong Will take care of her instead."

She decided a person's life or death in just a few words, but when she asked the maid to die, the mother had no expression on her face, and directly opened the door to do it.

Ever since the queen went blind, she has locked herself in the palace, with her hair loose, her arms around her knees, curled up on the bed. Xia Qixuan visited her several times, but she didn't see any reaction, so she was full of disappointment. go back.

Ming Shengdi came over a few days ago and asked her if she had poisoned him, but when he saw her haggard face, like a porcelain doll, which would shatter when touched, he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, and he stopped talking about that day. .If it was usual, the empress would be ecstatic when she knew that Emperor Ming had sympathy for her, but if this sympathy was exchanged for a pair of her eyes, then the price would be too high.

What's more, in the past dynasties, where there is a disabled queen, she sat on the bed and thought about it for seven days and seven nights, and finally made a decision, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask."

She has just been blind for a short time, and she is not used to it, and she can't tell the direction just by smell and sound. Her eyes have no focus, and the place she is looking at is empty. However, the queen's face is surprisingly serious. .

Seeing her solemn expression, Emperor Ming Sheng had an inexplicable feeling of bad premonition in his heart. Immediately afterwards, he coughed and suppressed the uneasiness surging in his chest, "What's the matter?"

Although the queen was suspected of poisoning him, the final result did not come to fruition after all, and he could not conclude that the queen was going to poison him because of this. He may not be unable to agree to excessive demands.

"The concubine begged the emperor to abolish the concubine's position." As soon as the empress said this, the queen felt as if a piece of her heart had been gouged out, and it was so painful that she had difficulty breathing, but her face was indifferent, as if she was in love. It's as casual as discussing with Ming Shengdi what tea to drink later.

Ming Shengdi almost suspected that he heard it wrong, he was stunned for a long time, and then he came back to his senses, stared at her suspiciously for a long time, to make sure that she was not joking, and she was not deliberately forcing himself to retreat, and his heart was shocked , the mouth moved, only to feel that the dryness in the throat was very dry, and it took a long time before the syllables came out, "It's fine, what are you talking about."

Although Ming Shengdi did have the intention of killing her when he learned that the empress might be the murderer who poisoned him, but he never thought about abolishing the empress.Seeing that he changed the subject, the queen didn't know whether she should be happy or sad for a moment, and in the end she didn't say a word.

The panic in Ming Shengdi's heart gradually calmed down, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Xiao Xiazi hurried in, with a look of embarrassment on his face, looking at the queen from time to time.Ming Shengdi frowned immediately, stood up, walked to the outer room, "What happened?"

Xiao Xiazi glanced calmly, lowered his voice and said: "The servant girl who was imprisoned earlier was hanged to death."

"What?" Ming Shengdi frowned and became furious, "A bunch of trash, I can't even look down on anyone, what do I want them to do, let me check and find out what happened to her before she died."

How can such a good person commit suicide suddenly? Someone must be behind the scenes.Ming Shengdi clenched his sleeves tightly, and Xiao Xiazi sighed inwardly, and explained the reason for his embarrassment, "The guard in charge of guarding her said that only the big palace maid next to the empress had been there before."

Ming Shengdi raised his head immediately, his chest was filled with turbulent waves, and his thoughts were complicated, "Go, take that big court lady to the imperial study, remember, don't disturb the queen."

Xiao Xiazi immediately responded and went down to do some work.
