Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 468
What happened in the palace here, Ming Shengdi didn't know at all, he was staying in Yue Jing'an's palace at the moment, singing with her, completely unaware that he was wearing a green hat.Yue Jing'an was not feeling well, and she couldn't stay with him all the time, so she could only focus on other aspects.

Like...playing chess.

Ming Shengdi is suspicious by nature, so he prefers to play chess, which is a game of guessing people's hearts. Yue Jing'an can only bite the bullet and practice in order to match his favorite, but now he can play two or three games with Ming Shengdi.

Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Yue Jingan suddenly threw the sunspots into the chess box, and waved her hand like a fool, "I won't play, I won't play anymore, the emperor knows how to bully my concubine, and I don't know how to give way to my concubine."

Hearing her complaint, Ming Shengdi couldn't help but shook his head, and laughed dumbly, "I have already let you five pieces in this game, so I can't blame you for that."

Yue Jing'an was dismantled by him, she didn't show any embarrassment at all, instead she made an inch of it, "The emperor's chess skills are so much taller than my concubine, it's fair to let my concubine have ten, no, fifteen."

Ming Shengdi had never seen her so childish before, his heart was about to melt, and he immediately pulled her into his arms, and was just about to speak, when there was a commotion outside, Ming Shengdi couldn't help but Frowning, he heard the palace maid outside yelling that Concubine Xin had a stomachache, he couldn't help but startled, and then remembered that he hadn't seen Qinglian for a few days.

Yue Jing'an managed to keep Ming Shengdi for a few days, and seeing that the other party was going to call him away so easily, she couldn't help secretly hating, bit her lips tightly, and her face was full of reconciliation.

But she couldn't say anything. When she went to invite Ming Shengdi earlier, the other party was very sensible. Naturally, she couldn't help but be considerate. At that moment, she smiled and asked Ming Shengdi to go and have a look.

Ming Shengdi was scrambled by the two, and his vanity was greatly satisfied. He patted the back of her hand and stood up. The eunuch waiting outside wisely ordered his servants to prepare the sedan chair.

Yue Jing'an watched him leave helplessly, her body that had been holding on all this time collapsed, and the mother hurriedly asked the maid to prepare hot water, brought in soup and medicine, and massaged her herself. It took a long time for her to catch her breath.

"Did you send the previous medicine dregs to Sheng Qing?" Yue Jingan stroked her lips with her fingers, picked up the medicine juice, sniffed it at the tip of her nose, poured it into the green radish planted beside her, and took out the colored glaze from her sleeve. bottle, poured out the red pill inside and stuffed it into his mouth.

After her numbness told Xia Shengqing about her vomiting blood and coma, Xia Shengqing specially asked her to send over the dregs of the medicine for the past few days. There must be something wrong with the medicine. Even if there is no medicine, she should be careful.

She has been like this for the past few days, pouring the medicinal juice into the green radish and taking the blood-enriching red pill, but she feels better, but occasionally she has a severe headache.

After Xia Shengqing got the medicine dregs, she specially wrapped them up and showed it to Chief Zhang, but she didn't see anything.Since it wasn't a problem with the medicine, Xia Shengqing didn't stop Yue Jingan from taking the medicine again. Unexpectedly, just two days after she resumed taking the medicine, Yue Jingan vomited another mouthful of blood.

Such an accident caused all three of them to turn pale. If they were not sure whether it was the medicinal juice before, they are now 100% sure. Otherwise, why would they feel better after taking the red pill? Instead, he vomited blood and became weak.

Yue Jing'an hesitated again and again. On the second day, she still asked her maidservant to bring the decoction as usual, and secretly invited Chief Zhang to check the matter. The two of them had cleared up the matter before, and he came here now only on the basis of the imperial physician's accusation. , but even though Yue Jing'an looked extremely weak at the moment, he still couldn't help but be terrified.

So much so that when he was checking the decoction, he accidentally knocked over the medicine bowl with a trembling hand.Seeing this, the nanny subconsciously prepared to step forward to reprimand him, but was held back by Yue Jing'an, who had no choice but to swallow the words in her mouth.

Sweat dripped from Zhang Yuanshou's forehead, he hurriedly lowered his head to pick up the broken bowl, but accidentally cut his hand, he subconsciously held his finger, his expression changed suddenly, he picked up the porcelain piece on the ground, and sniffed it at the tip of his nose , frowning tightly.

Seeing that he seemed to have discovered something, Mammy waited patiently until Yuanshou Zhang stood up, and then she rushed to meet him, "Shouyuan Zhang, is there something wrong with this medicine?"

Yard Zhang shook his head, and the expression on Mammy's face immediately froze, and she immediately took a step back.However, before she could ask, Zhang Yuanshou went on to say: "The problem is this medicine bowl. Someone smeared something on the edge of the bowl. It's not a problem at first, but this thing is a cold thing, and the medicine is hot. The two are in conflict, so the empress will..."

Yue Jingan stood up and shook her body, pressing her palms on the table, supporting herself not to fall down. After a long time, she opened her eyes and waved her hand, "Director Zhang, please don't tell me about this matter for the time being." Said, mother, send Yuanshou Zhang out for my palace."

Director Zhang has worked in this deep palace for so many years, so he knows what to say and what not to say, even if Yue Jing'an doesn't order him, he won't say such things to the outside world.

This matter was soon passed on to Xia Shengqing. Xia Shengqing clenched the note tightly in her hand, and breathed out vigorously in her palm, shaking the note into powder. She opened her hand and let it fall.

The people installed in the palace were soon ordered to investigate the matter secretly.In just half a day, the money-grubbing maids in the imperial dining room were found out. Xia Shengqing was the head of the House of Internal Affairs, and there were ways to deal with these maids. She was made to faint and sent out of the palace in the name of a dead body.

At night, he went to the woods outside the city and asked someone to dig her out from a pile of corpses and bring her back to the mansion.

When the maid woke up, her hands and feet were shackled, Luo Tie was burning in the middle of the room, and Xia Shengqing's man was leaning on the chair in the middle, holding a barbed whip in his hand, looking at her with a smile , raised his orchid fingers, and sneered, "Yo, are you awake?"

"This... what is this place?" Gongsun looked terrified, subconsciously looked around, her eyes filled with tears.

"Where is it!" The person in charge of the interrogation raised his voice instantly, and the whip in his hand slapped to the ground with a high-pitched voice, "Of course it's a prison cell, you desperate maid, don't hesitate to poison you to Concubine Lian" The matter has been recruited! Maybe I can suffer less flesh and blood."

The servant girl's heart turned cold, but her instinct still drove her to argue immediately, "I don't have this servant girl, I dare not do this servant girl! My lord is clearly aware!"

"Don't say it yet!" The other party was obviously impatient to listen to her nonsense, and before she finished shouting, the whip in his hand was drawn to her body, and the spikes were inserted into the flesh, leaving a long bloodstain Come.

The palace maid immediately screamed, her body couldn't stop trembling, trembling with pain, seeing the other party raised the whip again, she couldn't help confessing immediately, "The servant said, the servant said, the concubine Xin sent someone to ask the servant to do it, This servant really doesn’t know that it’s poison, and this servant is also following orders, my lord, please forgive me!”

The man in the dark eunuch uniform glanced at her, put the whip on the shelf beside him, took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped his fingers, "It's all right, why bother?"

While sighing, he had already lifted his feet and walked out. The guards standing beside him received his wink and hurriedly followed. He stopped when he reached the prison door, and said in a disgusted tone: "Get rid of it."

The guard turned back at the sound, but after a while, the exclamation of the palace maid came from inside, followed by the sound stopped abruptly, the man laughed twice, put the brocade back into his sleeve, and walked out of the dungeon.

Seeing Xia Shengqing who was waiting outside, her enchanting expression instantly became serious, and she knelt down on one knee, "Master, she has already recruited her, it's Concubine Xin."

Xia Shengqing nodded, turned her head away, frowned, hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell Xia Zijin about it.

Xia Zijin had no idea that after she went to warn Qinglian, Qinglian not only did not restrain herself, but became even more rampant.At the moment, she was leading people to ride a horse all the way to the frontier. The prefect of Yingzhou left the city half an hour ago, and she immediately followed after hearing the news.

As for the guards who were sent to the frontier to inquire about the news, there has been no news yet. I'm afraid it's too bad.

Seeing her working so hard, Rong Yu sighed, slowed down, and waited for the two horses' heads to be even, then suddenly got up from the horse, landed behind her, took the rein in her hand, and called her whole body All in their arms.

The sudden warmth stunned Xia Zijin for an instant. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Rong Yu's voice that sounded reproachful. Let's rest for a while, and leave the rest to my son."

Xia Zijin lowered his eyes and kept silent, letting him block the wind and snow around him for him.

Zhenwen and Xin'er were left in the city by her, in case this was a plan by the prefect of Yingzhou to divert the tiger away from the mountain.As for the couple, after recovering well, they volunteered their courage to contact the victims in the city suffering from hunger and cold.

Under her orders, the wealthy households in the city set up sheds to store food, so the people in the city don't have to worry about it for the time being.It's just that if the magistrate of Yingzhou and the rats behind him can't be wiped out, even if the court rings the bell and rich households from all over the country go here to calculate food, it won't be enough for him to be greedy.

Fortunately, after she came, the prefect of Yingzhou was busy dealing with her and had no time to greedy for money. The affairs of the mansion were neglected. After talking with her that day, Xiao Fu sneaked into his own granary and quietly took the food inside. Ship it out, and set up a porridge shed in her name to help the victims.

From this point of view, most of the people in the magistrate still love the eldest son, otherwise they would not help him in this way.Xia Zijin closed her eyes, all kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind, Rong Yu suddenly tightened the reins, and with a sway of her body, she slammed into Rong Yu's chest.

Rong Yu grinned in pain. Seeing her looking up at him, he immediately raised his middle finger and pointed to the front. He saw the prefect of Yingzhou's carriage parked in the woods ahead. The prefect of Yingzhou was standing beside the carriage with an anxious expression on his face. Seems to be waiting for someone.
