Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 376 Hematemesis
Xia Zijin looked at the tonic in front of him, rubbed the center of his eyebrows very tiredly, and smiled wryly at the corner of his mouth.Ever since she woke up, ginseng and bird's nest supplements have not been broken. Only because the imperial doctor said that she was losing money, Xia Shengqing deliberately dug out these things from the warehouse, and ordered the kitchen to make one every day and bring them to her room.

So much so that she feels like throwing up when she sees these things now, she is really tired and flustered.Xia Zijin helplessly raised her eyes to look at Xin'er who was watching her, the corners of her mouth twitched twice, she picked up the soup bowl resignedly, and bit the bullet to eat it.

Waiting for her to finish eating a bowl of blood bird's nest, there was a servant girl's salutation sound outside the room. Xia Zijin quickly put down the bowl, took a sip from the tea cup, suppressed the desire to vomit, turned her head to look at the door, and saw Xia Shengqing pushed open the door and walked straight in, still dripping with water, Xia Zijin quickly grabbed the towel on the shelf and walked up to him, "Why don't you wait for the weather to clear up before you come back, if it doesn't work, send a letter back, I'll tell the coachman to pick you up. You're not afraid of getting sick even if you're so wet."

Listening to her rambling, Xia Shengqing couldn't help but dissipate the chill all over her body. Thinking of Rong Yu's previous questioning, she gritted her teeth and grabbed her finger, "Zi Jin, do you believe me?"

Now Xia Zijin doesn't know about his relationship with Yue Jing'an, so he chooses not to blame him.But if one day Xia Zijin learns that the woman who has been hurting her is actually her mother-in-law... Just thinking about it, Xia Shengqing feels terrified, but it is impossible for him to give up Xia Zijin so easily.

Xia Zijin was startled, raised her head, and bumped into his black pupils, and then, Xia Zijin sensed the tension and fear in his eyes, her heart trembled, and she held his palm instead, "Sheng Qing, since I have decided to Believe in you, I won't ask about your affairs, if you want to say it, I will listen, if you don't want to say it, when you want to say it in the future, just let me listen to it."

Xia Shengqing's uneasy heart instantly calmed down under her comfort, and the corners of her lips curled up involuntarily, revealing a smile.Seeing this, Xia Zijin let go of his hanging heart, pulled him to the table and sat down, scooped up a bowl of ginseng soup and handed it to him, "Drink some ginseng soup first to go to the cold, Xiner, go, take the clothes of the son-in-law Bring it."

In the early morning of the next day, the person Xia Shengqing placed in the Prince's Mansion sent the news that Liu Nianxia walked out of the yard in a daze last night, and accidentally slipped and fell. It happened that there was a pond beside her, and she fell directly. , drowned in the pond.

When something like this happened, Ming Shengdi naturally wanted to express his anger, and took advantage of Xia Qin's vacancy when he entered the palace to plead guilty, and scolded him severely.Naturally, this matter was not hidden from the people in the capital.Liu Nianxia's original insistence on marrying Xiaqin was soon revealed, and the common people became even more awed by Ming Shengdi.For a while, there were many poems praising him and Xia Qin in the capital.

Having won the hearts of the people and getting rid of the thorn in his side, Ming Shengdi was naturally in a happy mood.Xia Zijin and Xia Shengqing knew the cause of Liu Nianxia's death, but they had no intention of seeking justice for her. Speaking of which, Liu Nianxia's path was taken by herself, and she should be blamed for this end She was too greedy for glory and wealth, and she was only thinking about clinging to people who shouldn't be her delusions.

Xia Zijin withdrew her thoughts, put her palm in Xia Shengqing's hand, stepped on the pedals, and got into the carriage.

Qiushan was not far from the capital, and Xia Zijin arrived after taking a nap in the car.She opened the curtain, looked at the already sinking sky outside, raised her fingers and rubbed her head, and let Xia Shengqing pull her out of the car.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, Xia Zijin felt a chill hit him, walked into the town at the foot of the mountain, and found a random inn to stay.

However, that night, when Xia Zijin was sleeping in a daze, she heard the waitress whispering from outside. She couldn't help holding her breath, and pushed Xia Shengqing who was sleeping beside her.Xia Shengqing opened her eyes, and saw her clutching the quilt tightly, staring at the door nervously.

Xia Shengqing immediately realized that something was wrong, and then her eyes fell to the door, and she sat up slightly.Xia Zijin swallowed her saliva, and saw a hole was poked in the window, followed by a puff of white smoke blowing in from the pipe.Xia Shengqing immediately covered her mouth and nose, and her expression became serious, "It's a drug."

Since Xia Zijin entered the capital, this was the first time that she met an assassin in a sense, but soon, she frowned.If Xia Qin wanted to get rid of her, he would never use such a low-level method. Could it be that he really encountered a black shop?Thinking of this possibility, Xia Zijin couldn't help raising his head to look at Xia Shengqing, and couldn't help but laugh.

Just when Xia Zijin relaxed his vigilance because the visitors were just ordinary robbers, the sound of a human body falling to the ground suddenly came from outside the door, followed by someone pushing the door open, Xia Zijin's pupils widened for a moment, and after a while Only then did a name come out of his throat, "Chen Yan, why are you here?"

Huang Chenyan coughed, "Come out." As for why she was here, Huang Chenyan squinted his eyes, glanced uncertainly, and after saving Xia Zijin, he hid in a corner and pretended to be an invisible person. , sighed helplessly.

Xia Zijin's whole attention fell to the unconscious shop waiter at her feet, curled her lips, thinking that the shop waiter looked simple and honest, but was doing shady deeds in private, and even cooperated with her shopkeeper to seek money and kill, Xia Zijin's eyes A serious look came to the surface.Xia Zijin grabbed the robe on the shelf and draped it over her body, walked up to Huang Chenyan, took her hands, looked up and down to make sure she was safe, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Huang Chenyan withdrew his palm, poked her on the head, and gave Xia Shengqing an angry look, "Nine thousand years old, do you know what time it is, you actually took the princess out for a tour of the mountains, it's really... "

"What happened?" Xia Zijin was keenly aware of what was happening in the capital, otherwise Huang Chenyan wouldn't have spoken to the two of them in such a tone of hatred.

Huang Chenyan was stunned for a moment, and seeing his eyes staring at him, he could only smile wryly, "Ming Shengdi vomited blood."

"What?" Xia Zijin turned pale with shock, raised her head subconsciously, and looked at Xia Shengqing, "What's going on?"

According to Ming Shengdi's temperament, even if he was really seriously ill, he would never show it in front of the courtiers, he must be holding on.But now that he vomited blood, even a boudoir woman like Huang Chenyan knew about it.All of these showed one thing, that is, Ming Shengdi's body was so weak that he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

It's just fine, how could it be like this all of a sudden?A strange look flashed across Xia Zijin's eyes.Seeing that her brows were almost twisted into a knot, Huang Chenyan couldn't help sighing, "Are you going back or going up the mountain to visit the Empress?"

Xia Zijin's palms hidden in his sleeves were together, and for a while, he couldn't answer Huang Chenyan.The most important thing is that she said earlier that she wanted to pray for Emperor Ming, but now that Emperor Ming is seriously ill, if she goes back, she won't be able to help him much.

That being the case, she might as well pretend that she doesn't know anything, go up the mountain to meet the queen according to the original plan, and then rush back to the capital.She had quietly felt Emperor Ming's pulse before, and although it was weak, it was no problem to support the complete stabilization of the court.For Ming Shengdi, Xia Zijin has always been unclear about his feelings for him.

Knowing that the two of them still insisted on going up the mountain, Huang Chenyan opened his mouth involuntarily, and after a long while, he turned his head and left.Looking at her back, Xia Zijin couldn't help smiling bitterly, "Sheng Qing, will there be news tonight?"

Xia Shengqing looked at the bird parked on the big tree in the middle of the yard calmly, then looked away, and looked at Xia Zijin with a smile.Xia Zijin held his palm with his backhand and nodded at him.After such a thing happened, Xia Zijin naturally lost the idea of ​​continuing to visit the town.

The queen stayed in the family temple for a full ten days, during which time not even a ghost came to see her.Even Xia Qixuan never came to avoid suspicion.At this moment, she was kneeling on the futon, watching the wooden fish and chanting scriptures.Knowing that there was a guest looking for her in the front yard, the queen couldn't help being stunned for a moment, with a vaguely excited expression on her face.However, after she saw who was coming, she couldn't help being disappointed.

Looking at the expression on her face, Xia Zijin couldn't help but sighed, and still conveyed the news that Huang Chenyan had just told her to the queen.The queen paused for a while while pinching the fingers of the prayer beads, forced a smile, but did not intend to answer her question.

Xia Zijin didn't intend to ask anything out of her mouth at all, so after chatting for a while, she got up to leave.The queen's mouth was trembling, and just as their feet were about to step out of the wing, the queen suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Xia Zijin immediately stopped, stood at the door, and looked at her against the light. The queen couldn't see his expression clearly, but she also knew that apart from Xia Zijin and Liu Nianxia, ​​no one else would come to this place.

It is because of this that the queen can only choose to believe them.The queen took out a jade pendant from her cuff and wrapped it around Xia Zijin's wrist, "Please tell my father after you go back to help His Royal Highness the eldest grandson."

Xia Zijin touched the texture of the jade pendant, and smiled, "Since the Empress has something to do with this princess, she should prepare some benefits."

The queen couldn't help gritting her teeth, never expecting that she was such a money-grubbing person, sighed, took the bracelet off her wrist with great effort, and put it on Xia Zijin's wrist.Xia Zijin looked at him with complicated eyes, and sighed involuntarily, "In this case, empress, you have to take care of yourself. When the father's anger subsides, he will definitely come to pick you up."

The queen looked at her anxious face, which didn't seem to be fake, and a warm current inexplicably passed through her heart.
