Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 422 Interrogation
Xia Zi huddled in his arms, his eyes were slightly red, "It's good when you come back, it's snowing outside, go in first, I've asked the kitchen to prepare ginger soup, you drink a bowl to warm up first."

Seeing her blushing, Xia Shengqing's heart moved slightly, and the corners of her lips curled up. She took her palm and led her in.

Suddenly, a figure came out from behind the plum blossom forest. Looking at the back of the two of them walking away holding hands, the eyes were complicated, and the palms hanging in the jacket were subconsciously clenched. .

The charcoal fire was burning in the room. Xia Shengqing just pulled Xia Zijin into the door when a piece of charcoal exploded suddenly, making a crackling sound. Xia Zijin frowned slightly, and subconsciously looked at the charcoal brazier. Seeing that there was no sound, she turned her head Looking at Xia Shengqing, he took off his coat for him and hung it on the shelf beside him.

Xin'er came in with the boiled ginger soup, and Xia Zijin scooped up a bowl and handed it to Xia Shengqing.After staying outside for so long, Xia Shengqing already missed her very much in her heart. Seeing her docile appearance at this moment, she couldn't help but pull her into his arms, and her lips fell on her lips.

Xia Zijin didn't refuse, it's just that Xin'er was still in the room, blushing hard.Clinker Xin'er has long been used to this scene, she retreated outside and closed the door tactfully, before she could react, a cool voice came to her ears, "Miss Xin'er is so pitiful, the master is making out with you inside, but he calls you alone!" Come outside the door to blow air alone."

The sudden voice startled her, Xin'er turned her head quickly, and saw Zhenwen was looking at her teasingly, Xin'er couldn't help but glared at him, "What does it have to do with you? What is blowing? Speak ill of the princess behind her back, be careful I will tell the princess later."

Seeing that she was so boring, Zhenwen quickly put away her smiling face and begged for forgiveness, "Don't, Xin'er, I was wrong."

If Xia Zijin knew that he was teasing Xin'er about this, he would definitely find a rough woman in this yard and force him to marry him under the pretext that he needed company.Zhenwen quickly played out a big drama in his mind according to Xia Zi's penny-pinching personality, and his complexion immediately collapsed.

Seeing his pitiful look, Xin'er couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "What are you doing here? Didn't the princess let you watch in the dark?"

Zhenwen blinked his eyes, naturally he couldn't say, he used to go to the brothel, those girls were all enthusiastic, he always felt that he was welcomed by girls, but Xin'er treated him indifferently, he momentarily Feeling itchy, he decided to chase her down. Unexpectedly, Xin'er's mind didn't move, but he accidentally moved his heart.These words were too embarrassing, so he coughed and said with a playful smile, "Of course I was afraid that Xin'er would be too lonely, so I came here to accompany you."

Although he spoke casually, the light in his eyes was very serious.It's a pity that Xin'er didn't see it. It was the first time for her to be said by a man. Her face turned red to the ears. If you play hooligan again, I will tell the princess."

Hearing Xin'er's evaluation of herself, Zhenwen's expression darkened for a while, but he soon cheered up, "Xin'er, don't be angry, I'm just joking with you."

Just when Zhenwen outside was thinking of ways to hook up with Xin'er, Xia Zijin and Xia Shengqing were in a deep relationship, and Xia Zijin told him what happened in the capital recently, but for some reason, she spontaneously erased it. Regarding Mrs. Qinglian's matter, she somehow didn't want Xia Shengqing to know about it.

However, this matter could not be kept secret for long. When Xia Shengqing went to report to Ming Shengdi what he had found out during his trip to the south of the Yangtze River, he saw Qinglian sitting on him with a beautiful appearance and an ecstatic posture. He was immediately startled , then quickly bowed his head and returned to normal.

Seeing his appearance like this, Mrs. Qinglian's lips curled up in surprise, and she quickly disappeared. She sat on Ming Shengdi's lap with her hands around his neck, and stopped looking at Xia Shengqing, as if she had just turned her head and winked at Xia Shengqing. That scene didn't exist.

She moved very quickly, so Ming Shengdi didn't find anything inappropriate. After listening to Xia Shengqing's statement that Xia Zijin went to the prison to investigate the matter before, and reading the letter from Jiangnan prefect, Ming Shengdi completely believed Xia Qixuan's previous confession. out of the situation.

The expression in Ming Shengdi's eyes was unpredictable, dim and unclear, and he felt a little apologetic, but soon, he suppressed this emotion, waved Xia Shengqing to go out, watched him leave, and then held him in his arms. Mrs. Qinglian stood up and asked the eunuch to prepare a sedan chair to drive her back.

Madam Qinglian was about to leave the palace gate, she heard him order the eunuch Xuanxia Qixuan to enter the palace, she knew that he didn't want her to know too much political affairs, so she couldn't help but curl her lips, got on the sedan chair and drove him away.The left and right she came in just followed Xia Zijin's wishes to add obstacles to Yue Jing'an, to listen to information, these things are already a foregone conclusion, it doesn't matter whether you listen or not.

Just by looking at Xia Shengqing's confident appearance just now, she knew that Xia Qixuan would be fine. She never expected that bitch Yue Jing'an to have such a good son.The light of hatred flashed across the eyes of Mrs. Qinglian, like darkness, eroding her heart bit by bit. Just as she was fighting between heaven and man, thinking whether she should trip Xia Shengqing, Xia Zijin's clean black and white words suddenly flashed in front of her eyes. With cold eyes.

Madam Qinglian trembled all over, and immediately came to her senses, Xia Zijin gave her silver to bury her brother, she was her benefactor, if she took action against Xia Shengqing, she would also be hurting her benefactor, Madam Qinglian figured this out, Can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Xia Zijin naturally didn't know what Madam Qinglian was thinking, let alone that Madam Qinglian would know secrets that even she didn't know.

Xia Qixuan entered the palace wearing ankle chains and handcuffs, his hair was disheveled and he looked sloppy, and his originally gorgeous clothes were already fluffed, so he couldn't even tell the appearance of the eldest grandson of the emperor.

He entered the palace with the chief eunuch, the chief eunuch originally wanted him to change clothes before going, but he insisted that he made a mistake and was not forgiven by Ming Shengdi, so he had no intention of washing, so he had to come to see Ming Shengdi first.

Thinking of the look on Ming Shengdi's face later, the eunuch couldn't help frowning.He really didn't understand what Xia Qixuan was thinking, so short, he actually thought of entering the palace like this, and he wasn't afraid of being accused of disrespect in front of the palace.

As everyone knows, Xia Qixuan's heart is also tense, his fingers are all twisted together, but he hangs his head, the people next to him can't see his expression clearly, they only think that he has been hit, and now his heart is ashamed.And these were exactly what he wanted to present to Emperor Ming. As for the reason why he entered the palace like this, Xia Zijin had specially told him before.

Xia Qixuan pushed open the door of the Imperial Study Room, stepped outside the bead curtain, knelt down with a "plop", and then kowtowed, "Grandson has seen Grandpa Huang."

"Xia Qixuan, are you wrong about buying and selling officials?" Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Ming Shengdi unconsciously turned his face away, paused for a while, and then opened his mouth to question.

Xia Qixuan immediately closed his eyes, and two lines of hot tears rolled down his cheeks. Just when Ming Shengdi thought he would make some excuses, he said, "Grandson knows that the crime is unforgivable, please go Fandi, if there is no emperor's order in the future, I will never return to Beijing."

Ming Shengdi didn't expect him to say these words, so he froze in place, scanning his face with scrutiny, to make sure he was telling the truth, his eyes narrowed immediately, remembering that Xia Qin had Going to the prison to talk to him, he naturally had the idea that he had been threatened by Xia Qin, and he was angry with Xia Qin in his heart, "It's quick for you to plead guilty, but after all, you gave me the money. Those affected people in the south of the Yangtze River, since this is the case, I will not punish you too much. As for returning to Fandi, it is freezing cold, if something happens on the way, it will not be bad. You just go back to the mansion and stay behind closed doors to think about it for half a year , not to leave the house."

"Grandfather..." Xia Qixuan made an expression that he didn't expect him to say this punishment. He was about to speak when he was interrupted by Ming Shengdi's frowning expression. He just looked very guilty, as if the punishment was light same.

Ming Shengdi looked at him several times in succession to make sure that he really felt that the punishment was light, so he unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, his tiger eyes showed a look of approval, and then rubbed his temples and shouted tired, the eunuch immediately understood and stretched out his hand to ask him go out.

Xia Qixuan came out of the palace only to realize that in such cold weather, his back was already wet with cold sweat. Thinking of Ming Shengdi's previous temptation, he was extremely glad that he did what Xia Zijin told him, but on second thought, he Thinking of Xia Zijin's understanding of Ming Shengdi so well... Xia Qixuan's eyes darkened involuntarily.

When Xia Zijin learned that he had left the palace without incident, and that Ming Shengdi's punishment for him was similar to what she had guessed before, the corners of her lips curled up, but then her brows furrowed.

With Ming Shengdi's body, I don't know if he can last for a year or so. There are too many things that can happen in this half year. If Xia Tianqin seizes the power, then all the hard work these days will be in vain.Xia Zijin bit her lips tightly, with an ugly expression.

Just when she was thinking of a complete solution, Xia Shengqing pushed open the door and came in with a gloomy expression. Xia Zijin looked up instantly, and seeing his gloomy expression, she couldn't help asking, "Shengqing, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Shengqing came back to her senses, and found that she had brought her temper back to the mansion and made Xia Zijin worry, so she felt guilty immediately, forced a smile, held her palm, and pressed it against her cheek, "It's okay, I just entered the palace to see Seeing a woman sitting directly on the emperor's lap, I feel a little uncomfortable as a husband."

Listening to his description, Xia Zijin's eyes widened, and she laughed after a while. She thought that Qinglian would draw with Yue Jing'an at most, but now it seems that she has completely confused Ming Shengdi.
