Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 413 Old Master Shen's Warning
Xia Zijin turned her head and looked at herself in the glasses. Seeing the bruises under her eyes, she raised her finger and pressed them, and nodded, "Then the princess book will not be given to you. Be careful."

Huang Chenyan nodded, put on the curtain hat again, and went out through the back door. The carriage had already been ordered and was guarding at the back door of the consort's mansion.

Xia Zijin was lying on the bed, thinking about what Huang Chenyan said before, tossing and turning, frowning involuntarily, and then sitting up suddenly, Xia Shengqing looked at her as if she had a sieve all over her body, and couldn't help but pat her on the back, "Zi Jin, don't think about it for the time being, my husband doesn't want you to come out in order to save Xia Qixuan, but turn around and put yourself in. If so, it's better to go to the prison and chop him up right now, so as to save him trouble You can't even sleep well."

While speaking, Xia Shengqing stood up, Xia Zijin was startled, and hurriedly pulled him back, "Shengqing..."

Xia Shengqing turned to look at her with a straight face, "Then do you want to have a good rest?"

Seeing that he was pretending to be serious to scare herself, Xia Zijin laughed to coax herself to sleep, nodded obediently, and lay down under his gaze.After such a fuss, she slightly forgot what happened before, her tense nerves relaxed, and fell asleep after a while.

Only then did Xia Shengqing exhale lightly, lay down beside her, and carefully took her into his arms.

The letter sent by Xia Zijin was soon handed over to Shen Li. Hearing that his grandson took over as the Patriarch of the Shen family, he came back from the capital on purpose. The old man Shen, who was moved with tears in his eyes, looked at him with the expression on his face from the beginning. The clear sky suddenly became cloudy, and he couldn't help but startled, then poked his head to read the contents of the letter.

Shen Yue reacted quickly, folded the letter in half, and stuffed it directly into his sleeve.Seeing his grandson so rebellious, before thinking of him, he deliberately went to the capital to express his heart, but was typed out, and the letter paper just now seemed to have a faint scent, and the old man Shen who connected these things thought he had mastered it. Knowing the reason why Shen Li hid the letter, he greeted him with a smile, "Li Er, don't be discouraged, this matter will not be done twice, and when the Shen family becomes an imperial merchant in the future, you will definitely be able to embrace the beauty."

The extremely curious Mrs. Shen, while talking to him to lower his vigilance, stretched his palm into his sleeve, pinched the letter paper that he had just hidden in his palm, and stuffed it into his sleeve calmly. Only then did he let go of the arm around Shen Yue's shoulder.

Shen Li was taken aback by his sudden enthusiasm, but Mrs. Shen was not serious except when disciplining him, so Shen Li had no doubts except for being a little uncomfortable.

After Mrs. Shen succeeded, she didn't have the slightest intention to continue chatting with him, so she quickly retreated to her room, opened the crumpled letter paper, wiped it twice, and looked at it seriously.After reading it, Mrs. Shen wished he was blind, and just pretended that he hadn't read the contents of the letter.

When Shen Yue returned to the room, he touched his sleeves and found that the letter paper was gone. His complexion changed a few times. He couldn't help but clenched his hands and walked quickly to Old Mrs. Shen's room. The servant guarding the door had already been ordered by Mrs. He stopped Shen Yue with his hands, showing that Mrs. Shen was determined not to meet guests.

In the room, Mr. Shen was covering his ears, pretending that he couldn't hear anything.Shen Yue was blocked, but he didn't bother, turned around and left, stopped suddenly halfway, and pushed open the window outside, "Grandfather, did you just read the letter from your grandson?"

Mrs. Shen was suddenly attacked by him, trembled all over, and shook her head desperately, "No, I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything."

Seeing his reaction, Shen Yue knew that he must have touched the letter, so he pushed the doorman away, stepped in, and sat opposite Old Mrs. Shen, "Grandpa, return the letter to your grandson." , that letter is really important."

Old Mrs. Shen saw that he was obsessed with obsession, and his heart ached from anger. He immediately raised his head, blew his beard and stared at him, "What letter? I don't know, no one in Shen's residence has ever received a letter. Lier, you can think clearly." Now, this matter is not so easy to intervene, the Shen family has a great career, you are now the head of the Shen family, a careless decision will lead to the demise of the Shen family, you can't interfere in this matter."

"Grandpa, why? You also saw that Princess Mingzhu clearly stated in it that as long as this matter is resolved, the Shen family will be able to take another step forward." Shen Li clenched his fists, his face full of confusion.

Now Liuzhou has restricted the development of the Shen family, and the Shen family's business spreads all over the country, but if the Shen family's roots are in Liuzhou, a remote area where no shit, it must be better than taking root in the capital. The difference between the two is irrelevant. Different from heaven and earth.

But since ancient times, merchants have been regarded as the most humble occupation. Although the Shen family has a lot of money, they are merchants after all, and it is normal not to be seen by Ming Shengdi. The Shen family is trapped in this small Liuzhou.

If the Shen family arrives in the capital, they will definitely become the target of the children of the aristocratic family. After all, the Shen residence is a living mobile treasury.The children of these aristocratic families looked at the scenery, but in fact, their monthly bonuses were limited. If they could hold the Shen family in the palm of their hands, they would be more confident in the battle for succession in the future.

These, Shen Li can see clearly, and Mrs. Shen also understands, but the battle to seize the heirloom is too dangerous, the Shen family has accumulated such a family business for several generations, if it is destroyed because of the struggle for the heirloom, it is really not good worth.

Old Mrs. Shen rubbed the center of her brows with a headache, and nodded after a while, "Since you are determined to intervene in this matter, I have one more word to warn you, even if the Shen family really has meritorious service in the future, the descendants of the Shen family are not allowed to become officials. "

"Why?" Shen Li looked at Old Master Shen in puzzlement. If the team selected by the Shen family is correct, they will definitely be valued by the new emperor in the future. Taking advantage of this time, there will be no obstacles to ask the children of the Shen family to go to the examination for officials, but Unfortunately, Mrs. Shen made such a request.

Shen Li really felt it was strange, Old Master Shen looked at his vigorous face, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder twice, "Li, the more beautiful the wood is, the more wind will destroy it. The current emperor is suspicious by nature, I'm afraid the prince and grandson will be affected by it." It's the same all the time, if you decide to get involved in these things, you won't be able to turn back. It's just that grandpa doesn't want you to gamble with the entire Shen family."

Old Mrs. Shen's words seemed to open another window for him. Shen Li has always been self-taught in business, and has never lost to his opponents.But when it comes to politics, he knows nothing.Seeing him getting up to say goodbye, Mrs. Shen secretly sighed, and only hoped that he could figure it out by himself.

When Xia Zijin returned to the mansion, her buttocks were still warm, when she heard Xin'er say that Xiaokui came over early in the morning and is now waiting in the backyard.Xia Zijin paused for unbuttoning his palms, grabbed the cloak beside him and put it on with a headache, and hurried to the backyard.

Halfway through the journey, it suddenly snowed outside, but after a short journey, Xia Zijin's shoulders were covered with a very light layer of silver white.She said that she took off the cloak on her body, hit the door frame twice to knock off the snow on it, and then stepped in.

Xiaokui's body has been around for a while, her lower abdomen is high and swollen, and her body of three or four months looks like six months. Xia Zijin couldn't help but take a second look, and Xiaokui wrung her fingers embarrassedly, " Princess, servant girl... I am here this time to ask the princess, is His Royal Highness the eldest grandson okay in prison?"

Ever since Xia Qixuan was imprisoned, Ah Wei has been running around non-stop, trying to make some connections and want to visit Xia Qixuan in the prison, but every time Ah Wei wanted to go in, he was stopped by those jailers.

Knowing that Xia Zijin was appointed by Ming Shengdi to interrogate Xia Qixuan, for her own man, Xiaokui could only ask with shame.But she kept it from Ah Wei about the number of times. She said at the beginning that she would come to beg Xia Zijin, but Ah Wei was afraid of causing trouble for Xia Zijin, so she refused to come here. She also came here quietly this time, and did not do anything. The carriage of the emperor's grandson's mansion.

Xia Zijin stared at her with pursed lips and frowning. After a while, she sat down on the chair opposite her and looked at her disapprovingly, "Xiaokui, this is not your business."

As a servant girl, she already has too much to take care of herself, but she still has to get involved in the battle for the heir apparent, which is tantamount to asking for her own death.Xia Zijin treated her as a sister, so he warned her.Xiaokui naturally knew this, hesitated for a moment, then got up suddenly, and was about to kneel on the ground.

Xia Zijin was taken aback, and quickly reached out to support her, and scolded, "Xiaokui, what are you doing? You are pregnant and still knelt down, what a fool."

Xiaokui knew that she was worried about herself, that's why she got angry. After being supported by her like this, she didn't continue to kneel down, "Princess, I know you are worried, and I also know that I shouldn't care about this matter. If you don’t want to run away, just tell me how the emperor’s grandson is doing in prison, so that Xiaokui can go back and talk to Ah Wei, and save him from running around day and night.”

Seeing her talking, her eye circles were red, Xia Zijin sighed in his heart, after all, he didn't hold her back, "Xiaokui, that's fine, don't worry, Xia Qixuan is the eldest grandson of the emperor, although this matter is serious, but At most, the emperor will drive him back to the land, and there will be no danger of his life. As for the jailers, they naturally dare not offend him."

Xia Zijin said it firmly, but she forgot about someone who was fighting against Xia Qixuan.At this moment, standing in front of the cell where Xia Qixuan was held was a figure in a brocade robe with a four-clawed golden python embroidered on it.

Xia Qixuan saw that he came here to see his jokes, spit out the grass roots biting in his mouth, and looked at him with a half-smile, "Why is the emperor free to visit my nephew today?"

Xia Tian watched him fall to this point, his expression didn't change at all, and he didn't look like he was down and out, his heart was suddenly unbalanced.
