Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 411
Xin'er glared at him, walked past him with a teacup, knocked on the door outside the house, and when she heard the movement inside, she took a deep breath, opened the door and went in.Xia Zijin looked up and saw her running in a hurry, her face flushed, and apologized: "Xin'er, next time you don't have to run so fast, this time it was my princess who was negligent and forgot to send someone to notify You, I told you to worry for nothing."

"Slaves don't dare." Xin'er was taken aback, and quickly knelt down to salute her.

Xia Zijin raised her hand and poked her on the head, "Okay, don't move so you don't dare, I don't know, I thought this princess beat and scolded you often."

Xin'er immediately felt embarrassed, stood up, and stood aside with her head bowed.Only then did Xia Zijin turn to look at Xia Shengqing, "Sheng Qing, is there any news from Shen Li?"

Xia Shengqing swallowed the pastry in her mouth, shook her head, "No, the Shen family has a big business, and he always needs some time to take care of it, but you and Huang Chenyan left so many guards there, and with the support of Liuzhou prefect, he always The Shen family will be taken down."

"That's good, my principal is still with him. If he can't take the position of the Patriarch of the Shen family, I will lose money." Xia Zijin took a slow sip with the tea cup in his hand. The bones of the body gradually warmed up.

While speaking, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and before the cold wind came in, Rong Yu immediately turned around and closed the door, turned his head, raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Shengqing, who was about to scold him, with a provocative look on his face.Xia Shengqing clenched his palms bitterly and gritted his teeth, but he also knew that Xia Zijin and Rongyu would not say anything, if not, he would have kicked Rongyu out a long time ago.If you keep this man who is only thinking about his wife, something will happen sooner or later.

Xia Zijin saw that his complexion was constantly changing, from blue to white, and couldn't help laughing. She put her palm on the back of his hand and squeezed it twice in relief. Xia Shengqing then looked away, smiled slowly at her, and put her in a daze. He wrapped his cold palm in his palm and covered it.

Rong Yu pretended not to see this scene, sat down in a big way, and unceremoniously picked up the pastry on the table and put it into his mouth. Prince, the chopsticks you just used belong to Sheng Qing."

Thinking that the chopsticks were used by Xia Zijin, Rong Yu, who was about to make trouble in front of Xia Shengqing, froze for a moment, turned his head to look at Xia Shengqing, and saw him looking at him innocently, Rong Yu immediately stood up, ran out quickly, and lay down Spit down the corridor.

Xin'er covered her lips and laughed, "It deserves it, but princess, no one has used these chopsticks before, why do you say that Lord Qiantose has used them! I'm afraid Rong Shizi will suffer for several days now."

"Didn't you say you deserve it?" Xia Zijin said with a smile, and turned to look at Xia Shengqing.

Xia Shengqing suddenly realized, and stretched out his fingers to scratch her nose.Xia Zijin likes the power behind Rong Yu, so he can't offend him, he can only make friends with him. Although the two are friends, they can't make an act of overstepping. Rong Yu's intentions are too obvious, so Xia Zijin only Can use this to remind him.

It's just that it's up to Rong Yu to understand.King Rong's power is so powerful that Emperor Ming Shengdi might have already suspected him. If Rong Yu had been obsessed with Xia Zijin at this time, Emperor Ming Sheng might think that he wanted to take advantage of Xia Zijin's current power. Only when she climbed up did she keep pestering her.

Thinking of this level, Xia Zijin rubbed her head with some headaches, and told Xin'er to ask the housekeeper in the mansion to prepare the carriage for tomorrow. Xia Shengqing looked at her suspiciously, and Xia Zijin put the teacup back in her hand, "Xiaokui I was pregnant a few days ago, and I've been very busy these days, now that I'm back, I should go see her."

For Xiaokui, her thoughts are always different from Xin'er.In the previous life, Xiaokui died tragically because of her, but in this life, she wants to protect her no matter what.

It was only now that Xia Shengqing found out about Xiaokui's pregnancy, and her brows furrowed involuntarily. He was just planning to use Xia Qixuan, not to help him sincerely. The handle is in Xia Qixuan's hands.

Seeing that Xia Shengqing's brows were almost twisted into pimples, Xia Zijin sighed, and stroked his brows with his fingers, "Sheng Qing, I know you are worried that I will be controlled by others, but it's rare for Xiaokui to like Ah Wei, Ah Wei Wei is a sincere person who treats her well, if I stop it, it would be too heartless."

Seeing her help Xiaokui to speak, Xia Shengqing shook her head helplessly, "You have always been kind to her, if she knew, she would have known what to do in the first place. Such behavior is really stupid."

"Sheng Qing!" Xia Zijin's tone involuntarily became serious, and seeing him immediately lowered his head and eyes to look at him sadly, Xia Zijin's throat couldn't help but dry up, and after a long while, he lowered his voice, "Sheng Qing, If Xiaokui really betrays me in the future, I will definitely not be soft-hearted, but now, everything is unknown, and there is no way to say the end, Xia Qixuan is grateful for our intention to help him, and will respect me as the eldest princess and honor me for the rest of my life."

Seeing her grinning face, Xia Shengqing couldn't help but smile wryly.With Ming Shengdi's temperament, the sons and grandsons raised by him may also be suspicious by nature. If not, the eldest prince would not think that Xia Zijin would compete with her for the throne because of Ming Shengdi's praise of Xia Zijin, and thus treat Xia Zijin Jin shot.

But seeing that Xia Zijin didn't want to mention this matter, Xia Shengqing had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

However, before Xia Zijin went to visit Xiaokui the next day, Ming Shengdi was furious in the court because he received a secret report, saying that Xia Qixuan dared to sell his official position privately. Xia Qixuan couldn't even make an excuse, so he was dragged away Go down and go directly to the dungeon.

The advantages accumulated for a long time disappeared at once, and Ming Shengdi sent the imperial army to search the emperor's eldest grandson's mansion the next day. Unfortunately, after searching all over the mansion, no money was found for Xia Qixuan's sale of officials.

Ming Shengdi blew his beard and stared angrily, and immediately sent someone to investigate the matter.Xia Qixuan's status is distinguished, he is different from ordinary prisoners, even if he is imprisoned in the prison, he will be treated differently.

When Xia Zijin came to visit him, he was still wearing dark purple court clothes, leaning against the pile of straw with a decadent expression, and there was food in the food bowl at his feet, with a roast chicken inside. meals.However, Xia Qixuan obviously didn't seem to be in the mood to eat, and he stared blankly at the walls around the cell, until he saw Xia Zijin, his eyes revealed a little light.

"Xia Qixuan, my father sent this princess to investigate this case. What do you have to say about the crown prince reporting you for buying and selling officials?" Seeing the hopeful light in his eyes, Xia Zijin couldn't bear it. He opened his mouth, was stunned for a while, then turned his head, and spoke without the slightest emotion.

Xia Qixuan originally thought she was here to visit him, but he didn't expect that she was ordered to interrogate him, so he couldn't help being stunned, and then a mocking look appeared on his face.

Xia Zijin had been paying attention to the expression on his face, straightened up and looked at the guards on both sides, beckoned, and they opened the cell door and retreated as instructed.Xia Zijin then walked in, looking straight at him, "Xia Qixuan, this princess asks you, where did you hide this money, and did you buy or sell officials?"

According to common sense, as long as Ming Shengdi couldn't find the money, there was no way to directly convict Xia Qixuan, but the final explanation was still with Ming Shengdi.Now that Xia Qixuan's purchase of an official has been brought to Ming Shengdi, if Xia Qixuan framed Xia Qixuan, there is still room for change. It is very difficult to extract from this matter.

Xia Zijin stared at him closely, watched him nod slowly, and sighed involuntarily, wishing to split his head open to see what he was thinking.Xia Zijin settled down, and then asked, "What about the money?"

From seeing her dismiss the jailers around, Xia Qixuan knew that she was asking him as an ally at this moment, but facing her question, Xia Qixuan still hesitated.

Seeing that he has fallen to this point, he refuses to tell the truth. Xia Zijin's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys are hurting, and he leans closer to him, gnashing his teeth, "If you don't want to tell, this princess can't help you."

She didn't want to be sold out like a fool.If it wasn't for his carelessness, how could he have been caught as a traitor and involved such a large number of officials.

Seeing her swear words, Xia Qixuan knew he couldn't hide it, so he simply said it bluntly, looked around, and whispered in her ear, Xia Zijin couldn't help widening his eyes, and met his eyes that demanded secrecy, wishing he was deaf, just now Didn't hear what he said.

Seeing that she seemed to be shrinking back, Xia Qixuan gritted his teeth, and immediately begged her on both knees, "Aunt Huang, you must save my nephew. There is no other way for my nephew to make such a bad move."

Xia Zijin couldn't help but rolled her eyes when she saw what he said was so grandiose, and she still said good words of relief on her face, "Get up first, the princess knows about this, and you stay at ease in the prison, the princess will go back and think about it first." Method."

This fact is really tricky. Xia Zijin walked out of the cell rubbing his brows, and saw Xia Shengqing standing outside waiting for him. Xia Zijin hurried forward and opened his mouth to ask, "How is it? What can I find?"

Xia Shengqing saw that she was so concerned about Xia Qixuan's affairs, with a tiredness that had never appeared on her face before going in for interrogation, she knew that Xia Qixuan's buying and selling of officials might be true, so she couldn't help but sighed, looked around, and said nothing Pull her into the carriage.

The interior of the carriage was burning with soothing spices, and there were thick curtains hanging all around. Xia Zijin felt a warmth coming from the surrounding air, rubbed his hands to dispel the chill from his body, and then looked at Xia Shengqing, waiting for him answer.
