Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 464
Along the way, she missed Xia Shengqing the most in her heart. It was rare to receive his reply, so she was delighted.

Immediately, she untied the letter, opened it, and browsed it carefully. The front part was naturally Xia Shengqing's sincere expression. When Xia Zijin was about to be disgusted by these words, Xia Shengqing finally got to the point.

Only then did Xia Zijin cheer up. Seeing that Emperor Ming was about to elect a new official, after thinking about it for a long time, a figure suddenly popped up in his mind, and immediately asked Xin'er to grind to write back to Xia Shengqing.

Xia Zijin breathed a sigh of relief after the letter was written and asked the carrier pigeon to take it back. She sat on the chair and was stunned for a while. Suddenly, she frowned when she thought of the news of the truthful report before, and immediately after, her expression changed drastically. , hurriedly called Zhenwen to come in.

Zhenwen couldn't help being surprised when he heard her anxious figure, and when he opened the door, he saw her frowning tightly, and a wave of uneasiness immediately surged into his heart.Before he could ask, Xia Zijin said, "Go and investigate the origin of that concubine's room."

She spoke so fast that Zhenwen was stunned for a moment before she could hear clearly. Although she felt strange, she followed her instructions.Xia Zijin sat back on the chair worriedly, her dark eyes filled with a chill.

Seeing her serious expression, Xin'er subconsciously asked, "Princess, what's wrong with you, has something happened?"

"It's nothing." Xia Zijin didn't intend to tell Xiner about her conjecture. Left and right Xiner was just her maidservant, and she was pure-hearted. Even if she told her, it would only worry a few people.

If it is true as she guessed, it is unlikely that the prefect of Yingzhou has passed on the news.She took precautions against everything, but she forgot to guard against a concubine's room. If she guessed correctly, that concubine's room might have been rewarded to him by the magistrate of Yingzhou.

On the one hand, it is to control him, and on the other hand, it is also convenient for the two to pass information secretly.After all, who would pay attention to a concubine.

Xia Zijin scratched her nails, feeling a little nervous. The guards who went to the frontier to inquire about the news should have arrived by now. It stands to reason that they should come back to report the news in two hours. I just hope that things will not be as she imagined.

After receiving Xia Zijin's order, Zhenwen immediately returned to the mansion, pretended to be a cook and sneaked into the mansion, planning to find someone to inquire about the origin of the concubine's room in Qingshuangyuan, who knew that he hadn't had time to find out the origin of the concubine's room , just heard another message.

The person who spread the gossip had a mysterious look on his face, "After the lord went to see the aunt, he suddenly went to the madam's yard, and he didn't know what the eldest son of the mansion did wrong. The young master is now in confinement."

The people on the side couldn't help answering, their faces were full of sympathy, "Oh, it's pitiful to say it, Madam is gentle, and Eldest Young Master is also a good person, but the magistrate only cares about favoring Aunt Qing, so it's hard to think of Madam to visit her, I didn’t expect such a thing to happen.”

Zhenwen frowned involuntarily, and leaned forward, what the hall wanted to know, "Who is this Aunt Qing you are talking about? Why would the magistrate beat him up for such a good person as the eldest son?"

The person who spoke earlier sneered, "That Aunt Qing came from the year before last. It seems that the magistrate brought her into the mansion outside. I have never seen her in Yingzhou before. No one knows her origin. As for the eldest son?" , Alas, the eldest son is worried about the people outside, and he heard that he is going to the princess to assist the princess in disaster relief, but he just happened to be heard by the former prefect of Yingzhou."

Zhenwen couldn't hear what he wanted to hear, so he gritted his teeth and was about to continue asking, when the person next to him suddenly pushed him, "You look at me, why haven't I seen you before?"

"Oh, I'm new here." Zhenwen quickly lowered his head and coughed dryly, as if he was a little embarrassed.

The man nodded, but didn't ask any more questions.Zhenwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This is thanks to Xiao Fu who often brought the victims back to resettle them in order to rescue them.

It's just that people like the magistrate of Yingzhou, when they hear that their son is going to report him, they probably won't give him any good fruit to eat.Zhenwen hesitated for a moment, but decided to go and see what happened.

As soon as he sneaked into the main courtyard, he heard the woman's stern pleading voice.I saw the magistrate of Yingzhou kneeling on the smooth bluestone slab at the door of the bedroom in the main courtyard, shouting hoarsely, "Master, Fu'er is still a child, and he vomited blood from being kicked just now. If he doesn't eat or drink, how can he?" Live on, it's so cold, sir, forgive her."

The maid who was serving her before saw her like this, her eyes were red, and she was about to put on an umbrella for her, but she pushed it away, and tears immediately fell like beads, "Ma'am."

Seeing that she was going to kneel down with her, Madam Zhifu immediately shook her head, and saw a small figure running towards her, took a selfie and threw herself into her arms, crying loudly, "Mother, mother, brother What's wrong with him? Why did dad beat brother? Why are you kneeling here?"

"Yin Yin, don't cry, mother is fine, your brother and he..." The prefect's wife was choked up and unable to speak, suddenly wiped away her tears, and sternly said to the maid beside her, "Take the young lady back, without me Order, don't let her come out."

The servant girl bit her lip, shed tears, finally answered, knelt down, hugged Xiao Yin and left, the prefect's wife stood up with tears in her arms, and suddenly pulled out the hairpin stuck in her bun, "Master, you open the door, you If you don't open the door, I will kill myself on this step right now."

The people in the room were very annoying. Hearing this, he stood up suddenly, opened the door with a "bang", and looked at her with disgust, "You shrew, do you think this will soften my heart?"

Seeing him open the door, the prefect's wife immediately showed a happy expression, and hearing his tone, the patience and love for many years disappeared in an instant, "Master, I know that you don't care about my life. It's just that Fu'er is your only son, how can you be so cruel?"

"Ma'am, you are wrong." Before the prefect of Yingzhou could speak, a woman with exquisite figure and charming appearance suddenly came out from behind him, with her palm on her belly, her face was full of arrogance, "Concubine A few days ago, I was not feeling well, and only then did I know that I was pregnant, no way, it might not be a boy."

"You..." Madam Zhifu stared blankly at the woman in front of her who was flaunting her might, unable to withstand the blow, she spit out a mouthful of blood.

The corner of the woman's lips curled up triumphantly, and seeing her body trembling, she chuckled, "Although Xiao Fu is the master's son, his heart is towards outsiders, and he even wants to kill the master. It's better to keep such a rebellious son than never." Yes, sir, do you think so?"

The magistrate of Yingzhou has always doted on her, now she was pulling his arm and shaking him, he laughed immediately, thinking about what Xiao Fu was going to do before, a murderous look flashed in his eyes, if he hadn't had no children under his knees, he would have wanted that rebellious son now life.Keeping him now is just waiting for this child to be born, if it is a boy, there is no need to keep Xiao Fu.But this also depends on Xiao Fu's fate, so let's talk about it if he can survive this time.

The magistrate's wife turned her head to look at the Yingzhou magistrate, and immediately saw the chill on his face, and she couldn't help but collapsed on the ground with her head bowed, greatly shocked.After a long while, she suddenly raised her head, and a cold light appeared on her slightly aged face, "Xiao Yan, you heartless, I was blind to marry you in vain, but now I end up like this, it really is retribution. However, I have already sent a letter to my father, if I die, he will definitely go to the capital to sue you, and then you will not be able to eat and walk around."

Up to now, there is no need for any relationship between husband and wife. The magistrate's wife has been with him for so many years, and she has already seen through his behavior. If there is anything that can make him change his mind, I am afraid it will only touch his interests.The prefect's wife showed a crazy look on her face, staring at her viciously.

Zhenwen looked at this scene on the roof with a treacherous expression, and then looked at the enraged magistrate of Yingzhou who dared not do anything, he sneered, his eyes shifted to the woman beside him, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

This woman is actually a Lianjiazi. It seems that she is not just a concubine. No wonder the prefect of Yingzhou favors her so much. I am afraid that she is the Aunt Qing that those people talked about before.

The magistrate of Yingzhou has never seen his wife like this before. Seeing this woman who has always been meek suddenly resist him like this, his face can't help shaking, his face is ashen, and he wants to kick her to death, but he is afraid of her. If you say it, you can only stand where you are.

Seeing that he was really shocked by Madam Zhifu's words, Aunt Qing gritted her teeth and looked angrily at the distressed woman on the ground.

The magistrate of Yingzhou looked at his wife holding the jade hairpin against her neck with one hand, and seeing the blood marks on her fair neck, she couldn't resist, and said angrily, "Come on, go and get a doctor for the eldest son. Go back to your room and rest, don't tell him to come out."

After getting the result she wanted, Madam Zhifu breathed a sigh of relief, the hairpin in her hand fell to the ground with a "snap" and broke in two. She gave a wry smile, shook her body and fainted on the ground.

The prefect of Yingzhou looked at her in disgust, and directly asked the housekeeper to send her back to the room and keep her under strict supervision. Don't let her die. He turned around and entered the room with his arms around the woman.

He clenched his fists with real vigor, controlled the anger in his heart, rushed back to the inn as quickly as possible, and told Xia Zijin all about it.

Xia Zijin listened to the undisguised anger in his words, inexplicably recalling all kinds of past lives in her mind, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips. She only blamed Lin Runyu for all her faults, only that he was a heartless person, but forgot to examine herself .

If she hadn't focused on him with all her heart and blinded her eyes, how could she have fallen to that point? The magistrate's wife is also the same. After so many years of waiting, she can only be a heartless person.
