Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 457 Disaster
If it wasn't that the nanny made her own opinion and attacked Qinglian privately, it means that there were others who thought she was not pleasing to the eye and secretly attacked her, but who would it be?There was a cool breath across Yue Jing'an's spine.

No matter who the person who made the move secretly is, according to the degree of Qinglian's hatred for her, she must be involved in this matter, and then...

A sharp light flashed in Yue Jing'an's eyes, she suddenly clenched her hands tightly, and a trace of murderous intent could be vaguely glimpsed deep in her eyes.

The next moment, Yue Jing'an calmed down. The prime minister had suffered so much at Concubine Xin's place, so she would definitely not be able to bear it. It's the end of the sitting.

However, the situation she imagined that Qinglian would attack her did not appear at all. Xu was the first time to kill someone. Qinglian had nightmares for several days in a row. On Jing'an, as soon as she closed her eyes, she saw the scene of the maidservant's tragic death, and she couldn't do anything against her will for a while.

The Imperial Forest Army did not find the assassin after a round of investigation, so they had to come back and report to Ming Shengdi.After careful consideration, Ming Shengdi decided that the maidservant was just a small pawn, or because she was so upset when she saw Qinglian being favored, she fainted and assassinated her. At that moment, he specially selected dozens of people from the Imperial Forest Army to guard Qinglian's palace.

This result was unexpected by Qinglian, so she couldn't help but be a bit dumbfounded, but on the surface, she was still smiling, and after thanking Ming Shengdi, she spread the news calmly.

With so many people added to the left and right palaces, it may not be so easy for that person to come in wantonly, which may not be a good thing.As for what he ordered, Qinglian stirred the mutton soup, scooped a plate into a sandalwood bowl with gold and silver sides, and asked the maid to fetch a set of bowls and plates printed with plum blossoms and emerald chopsticks with silver-headed black silk Put it on the support cup, and walked to the imperial study with it.

A few days ago, seeing the cold weather, she went to the imperial dining room to make this dish of wax snow and mutton soup for Ming Shengdi. She was always confident in her craftsmanship, and Ming Shengdi was obsessed with her body fragrance and worried that she had just missed it. Killing the servant girl by mistake was frightening, so she stayed in her palace for half a month.

I don't know how the news got out, but it was Ming Shengdi who wanted to drink mutton soup and spoiled her for two nights.

The other concubines in the harem were greedy for her skills, so they went to learn how to make mutton soup by themselves, but they didn't expect to be covered in ashes from the fire in the imperial dining room.

The corners of Qinglian's lips curled up into a mocking smile, God knows, she won the favor of Ming Shengdi, not by these means, in order to be able to be liked by Xia Zijin, she was sent to the palace, she didn't know what to eat How much suffering, these delicate harem concubines, can't bear the hardships.

With a light movement of lotus steps, she had already arrived at the door of the imperial study room. The eunuch was used to her coming at this time. Half an hour ago, he was kicked by Ming Shengdi to the door and waited for him.

It can be seen from this that Emperor Ming attached great importance to Qinglian.Seeing Qinglian approaching, the chief eunuch hurriedly greeted her with a smile, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has been waiting for you inside for a long time, go in quickly."

Qinglian nodded and smiled softly. The eunuch lowered his head and didn't look into her eyes. For some reason, he always felt that Concubine Xin was very evil. Couldn't help but be greedy.

Qinglian had long been used to the eunuch's appearance, and walked in.Ming Shengdi smelled a strong smell of mutton, immediately raised his head, put down the brush in his hand, stood up, opened the curtain and went out, supported Qinglian who was about to salute, waved his hand to call the maid to go out, pulled her down On the soft couch beside him.

The maid put the food bowl on the table, pursed her lips, and went out sideways.

"Your Majesty, hurry up and eat some soup. It's freezing cold, so it's warmer." Qinglian pulled away from his arms calmly, scooped up a spoonful of soup and blew on it before feeding him. mouth.

With a beautiful woman in his arms and very sensible, Ming Shengdi was naturally very happy. He opened his mouth and swallowed the mutton, staring at her all the time, raised his hand to hold down her finger that was going to take the chopsticks, and pulled her back to him in the arms.

Ming Shengdi's hair is given to the soul, and he doesn't care about the Mobei area. The people are naked and their bones are cold. The man who died.

Such scenes can be seen everywhere in Yingzhou.Xia Zijin walked up to the mother and son, but before she could react, someone grabbed the bottom of her trousers, and the thin child's voice sounded, "Sister, please save my father."

Xin'er, who followed her, couldn't bear to look away, bit her lip, and pulled down the purse from her waist, ready to hand it out.Xia Zijin raised his hand to hold her down, shook his head, and reminded her to look around.

This place is probably a refugee concentration camp. The disaster has just happened, and the poor are the ones who suffer the most. At this time, most of the people who starve to death and freeze to death are beggars and homeless people. Seeing Xiner now, she seems to feel pity , all stared at her helplessly, their eyes firmly on her body, staring at her movements.

When did Xin'er have been seen by so many people, her face turned pale for a while.Rong Yu glanced around, and saw six or seven beggars with wicked eyebrows, who seemed to be about to rush up to grab the money, and immediately snorted coldly, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and looked at them with a stern expression.

The woman who was squatting in the corner hurried forward, immediately hugged her child back into her arms, and looked at them vigilantly.Only then did Xia Zijin squat down, signaling to the accompanying imperial doctor to come forward and treat the man.

The woman was hugging her son, holding him tightly, sneaking glances at Xia Zijin from time to time, as if she wanted to see if she could save her husband.

The imperial doctor looked at Xia Zijin and nodded. Xia Zijin breathed a sigh of relief. Since the man was still alive, he could be saved. He waved his hand and asked the guards to carry the man on his back. Trembling, she still stepped forward and said, "Where are you taking my husband?"

As soon as Xia Zijin was about to speak, he saw half a roast chicken falling out of the man's open skirt, and the beggars who were staring at him rushed forward in an instant.Rong Yu gritted his teeth, pulled the woman over at once, and pulled her and Xia Zijin back together.

Seeing those beggars beating their heads and blood for half a roast chicken, the palms holding the sword subconsciously tightened, and their faces were ugly.

The woman bit her lip and looked at the beggars with resentment. Xia Zijin frowned until this place was not the best place to inquire. He asked the guard to carry the man to the nearest inn, and looked back at the woman in a daze. Standing there, he said impatiently: "If you still care about your husband, come with me."

Seeing such a situation, Xia Zijin's mood was disturbed.Obviously, the frontier soldiers' food and wages have been allocated to subsidize first, but the city is still in such a miserable state, and no one has set up a shed to store food on the street. Whether it is the inaction of the prefect of Yingzhou or some other reason, she insists on investigating clearly.

Xia Zijin's eyes flashed sharply, and he clenched the cuffs with the palms of his sleeves. Looking at the guy who came up to him, he told him to prepare two rooms for the upper room.The woman was startled when she heard her words, and then ecstasy appeared on her withered face, and she hurriedly followed. Seeing that she was really going to treat her husband, tears flowed down her cheeks.

This Yingzhou was hit by a disaster, but the business of the inn was good. It has to be said that the impact of natural and man-made disasters has always been only the lowest level of the people.Xia Zijin and his party walked upstairs, but encountered trouble on the way.

The guy saw the man on the guard's back at a glance, and the mother and child who came in together, with an undisguised look of disgust on his face, "Young master, you can't enter with this man on your back, this dead man is allowed to enter!" The inn, the small shop will not be able to do business in the future."

The woman saw that a nobleman was willing to help her, but was stopped by others. She was afraid that Xia Zijin would change her mind because of what the guy said, so she hurried forward to argue, "He is still alive, not dead, my husband..."

"Even if it's not dead, it's almost dead. If I say you can't enter, then you can't enter. It's fine. Bringing a dying person here, isn't this a bad luck for me? Go away!" The man sneered, not at all. He didn't show any face, and waved his hands in disgust.

The woman was still begging for love, but before she opened her mouth, he raised his eyebrows and was about to kick her.Rong Yu, who was standing by the side, couldn't stand it any longer. He stepped on it and broke his leg bone. Kick out, "Damn!"

Seeing his murderous look, the corners of Xia Zijin's lips slowly curled up. It would be good to just notify the prefect of Yingzhou that they are here. By the way, you can take a look at how the prefect of Yingzhou handles things.

The guy kept rolling on the ground with his legs in his arms, and the other boys in the inn all turned pale with horror when they saw this scene. One of them glanced at Xia Zijin and the others, and ran out.

Xia Zijin looked at his fleeing figure with sarcasm in his slender eyes. The diners below all looked at them with different expressions, but none of them dared to speak out.

It's because the guards around Xia Zijin all drew their swords and surrounded them, staring at everyone covetously.

Soon, there was the sound of running outside, and the boy who sneaked out earlier came in with a pair of yamen servants nodding and bowing his head. After taking a breath, he saw that Xia Zijin and the others didn't run away, but stood where they were, and immediately straightened their backs. Pointing at Xia Zijin and the others flauntingly, "They are the ones who hurt people at will, my lord, you must uphold justice for grassroots people."

Xia Zijin looked at the group of sloppy footsteps, and saw that it was the servant who had climbed up from the Hualou girl. She was trembling with anger, and the cold breath climbed up from the soles of her feet, quickly rushed to her heart, and her fingers were pinched tightly. , I can't wait to execute all these yamen servants to death.
