Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 470
"You...what did you say?" Even though Xiao Fu was worried about irritating her, he purposely lowered his voice, the words he spit out made the magistrate's wife almost think that she had heard wrong, so she let go of her hand in disbelief and gritted her teeth , asked tremblingly.

Xiao Fu sighed, and suddenly stood up and held her hand, "Mother, Dad has already left, and the corpse child has been brought back, and it is parked in the yard outside."

The magistrate's wife collapsed on the ground, her eyes were empty and lifeless, she was stunned for a while, and suddenly she covered her face and howled.Hearing her cry, Xiao Fu felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart, and wanted to comfort her, but he felt that the death of the prefect of Yingzhou was a good thing, for him, for his mother, and for the people in Yingzhou city. is a good thing.

Therefore, his mouth buzzed twice, but nothing came out.The prefect's wife cried for a long time, her voice became hoarse, and then she raised her head, her hair disheveled, and ran out staggeringly.After taking two steps, she saw the cart parked in the middle of the yard. She realized something, stopped in an instant, turned her head to look at Xiao Fu who followed, and pointed at the white cloth with trembling fingers, "That's your Daddy?"

Xiao Fu didn't expect that she still couldn't let go of the prefect of Yingzhou completely, so he couldn't help sighing secretly, and nodded. The magistrate's wife stepped forward, her palms were shaking, she suddenly took a deep breath, and adjusted her posture. Rhythm, lifted the white cloth, and saw the bloodstains on the neck of the prefect of Yingzhou.

A bloody smell penetrated into her nostrils, and she clutched her chest, squatted down and vomited.Immediately afterwards, the magistrate's wife realized that this person was the prefect of Yingzhou who had been married to him for many years, her eyes flashed, and her mood was complicated.

She suddenly burst into laughter, with tears still on her face, with a dumbfounding expression, she didn't care about the blood on his body, she rushed over and howled again.

Xiao Fu stood silently behind her, seeing her like this, the palms hanging beside her were clenched tightly, and the bones creaked.Fortunately, the prefect's wife has not been immersed in the grief of losing her husband.

She wiped all the tears from her face onto the prefect of Yingzhou, then straightened up, took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and finally looked at the prefect of Yingzhou's body, her face suddenly turned cold.

In fact, before that, when the prefect of Yingzhou trampled on her dignity for Aunt Qing, regardless of her life, the last bit of affection she had for him was wiped out. It was because Xiao Fu was imprisoned by him.

Now that the magistrate of Yingzhou has died like this, she cried so much, it can be regarded as a complete bond between husband and wife.When they were newlyweds back then, when they were singing in harmony, never would they have thought that they would come to this point.Madam Zhifu turned her head to look at Xiao Fu, and stretched out her hand towards him.

Xiao Fu immediately understood and stepped forward to help her. Now that Yingzhou magistrate is dead, the most important person in this mansion is the magistrate's wife. After her father dies, mother will become the biggest existence in this mansion. Even if Aunt Qing used to be arrogant, I can't get past my mother.

And the news that the prefect of Yingzhou and the general guarding the frontier secretly embezzled money and exploited the people spread quietly. The account book was sent to the capital by Xia Zijin, and it appeared on Ming Shengdi's desk within two days.

Ming Shengdi was being driven into a state of distress by what the prime minister said about the demon concubine in the court hall. When he saw such a memorial, he was so angry that he threw the memorial on the prime minister's forehead, his face livid, "The demon concubine? Someone is causing trouble, causing people to live in dire straits, yet blaming it on my concubine, damn it!"

Thinking of snow disasters and man-made disasters, Ming Shengdi lost all good mood, and his anger reached its peak. The prime minister tremblingly opened the densely written words on the memorial, terrified, and secretly scolded the prefect of Yingzhou and He Feng for being really bold.

Emperor Mingsheng was furious and slapped the dragon case hard, "These two bastards are really going to piss me off. Pass down an order that the magistrate of Yingzhou exploit the people and refuse to obey the imperial decree. He will flog the corpse for three days. Then he can be escorted to Beijing. I want to see where he got the guts to steal the silver, and the whereabouts of that batch of silver, and track it down as soon as possible."

Xia Shengqing squinted her eyes, stroked her sleeves with her fingers, and her eyes were dim. He had sent a letter to inform Xia Zijin of what Qinglian had done, but Yingzhou was busy with things, so she might not have the energy to worry about such trivial matters.

After pondering for a while, he decided to go to Qinglian Palace first, to test why she had such great hostility towards Yue Jing'an.

Qinglian didn't know that what she sent someone to do had been discovered. She had just returned to the palace and closed the window when she heard the movement. what?"

Her entire back was stretched into a straight line, her body was extremely stiff, and the palm of her hand holding the teacup tightened involuntarily. Although her voice was as steady as she could, it was not difficult to hear the tension in her words.

When Xia Shengqing heard her address, she mistakenly thought she was talking about Rong Yu, and sneered, "Concubine Xin, Prince Rong is not in the capital at this time, and Concubine Xin may have admitted the wrong person."

Hearing that the sound was wrong, Qinglian immediately relaxed her body, and immediately felt something wrong, she turned around quickly, her pupils constricted violently, the cup in her hand fell to the ground with a "snap", she regained her composure, and looked at him again, "I don't know Nine thousand years are coming, and this palace is really far away from welcoming it."

Qing Lian smiled on the surface, and said polite words on her mouth, but in fact, her tone was cold and pitiful.Xia Shengqing stared at her with narrowed eyes, then lowered her head, deliberately avoiding her gaze, as if trying to cover up something, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

"Concubine Xin, I came here this time to ask something." Xia Shengqing sat down carelessly, the jade bracelet in his sleeve slipped into the palm of his hand, raised it above his head, squinted at the color, "Dare to ask, this jade bracelet Is the bracelet your empress's?"

"What jade bracelet?" Qinglian glanced at it, subconsciously caressed her wrist with her palm, and hid her palm in her sleeve, "I have never seen this bracelet before."

"This is strange. The king has already entrusted the people of the House of Internal Affairs to check. This bracelet is indeed from the empress's palace. Judging by the fineness of this bracelet, it is all high-quality. It should not be something that a maid can wear. Empress Why don't you think about it carefully?"

Sweat oozed from Qinglian's forehead and slid down her forehead. When Xia Shengqing took out the jade bracelet, she recognized it at a glance. It was the item she had given to the maid in the imperial dining room earlier.If there were no accidents, Xia Shengqing would have known that she had secretly attacked Yue Jing'an.Qinglian couldn't help taking a step back, pressed her palms on the table, forced a smile on her face, "The emperor bestows countless jewels every day, how can I remember so clearly, perhaps the maids under his hands are greedy for ink, and it may not be certain to take them out."

Seeing that she pushed the matter away, Xia Shengqing couldn't help but sneer, and stopped beating around the bush with her, "Really? A rough envoy and maid in the imperial dining room can come to the empress to steal things. How dare you, empress?" Do you think anyone will believe this when you say it?"

"If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing about yourself. The empress still remembers her identity clearly, don't make troubles, and save her life." Xia Shengqing glanced at her fiercely, if it wasn't for Xia Zijin's face, He had already attacked Qinglian, how could he let her act recklessly in the palace.

Qinglian was so choked by him that she couldn't utter a word, her angry nails dug into her palm, leaving streaks of blood, her eyelids drooped, her long eyelashes trembling constantly, she forced a smile, and tried to argue, " Even though Nine Thousand Years is a prince and is favored by the Emperor, he is already an outsider after all, so it would be inappropriate to speak to this Palace like this, please leave now, Lord Thousand Years."

Seeing her see off the guests, Xia Shengqing glanced at her coldly, sneered, turned her head and left.

Until the wind outside hit him along the window, Qinglian trembled all over, staggered and fell on the chair, sat in a daze for a long time, then suddenly raised her head, a cold light appeared in her eyes, the resentment almost melted for the essence.

She originally wanted to let Xia Shengqing go, but he couldn't blame her if he insisted on courting death.

Xia Zijin didn't know about this at all, and she couldn't help but feel a headache for Qinglian's refusal to obey orders. She seemed to have underestimated Qinglian's hatred for Yue Jing'an, so she did not hesitate to disobey orders and attack Yue Jing'an.

If it was said that after entering the palace, Qinglian fell in love with Ming Shengdi's love and was moved, so she took action against Yue Jing'an in order to fight for favor, she would absolutely not believe it.She is the most clear about Ming Shengdi's virtues, so it seems that she was dumped by Qinglian at the beginning.

Xia Zijin rubbed her frowning brows. She sent Qinglian into the palace to punish Yue Jing'an, but the most important thing was to inquire about the news. But now it seems that she entered the palace voluntarily.

As for the purpose, it is also very clear now. A knife-like smile appeared on Xia Zijin's face. Unexpectedly, she became a stepping stone for others. Xia Zijin clenched the cup in her hand, raised her head and drank the fragrant wine inside, With a "bang", the glass was thrown to the table, and the wine entered the throat, burning instantly.

The cold air in her bones was expelled in an instant, Xia Zijin stretched her body and stood up, opened the window and looked at the porridge shed under the opposite restaurant, the corners of her lips raised, after the previous news spread, she immediately searched it out from the magistrate's office The rice grain is used to treat the victims.

This time and again, the victims were grateful to her and spontaneously lined up to get the porridge. The next thing they had to wait was He Feng's subordinates.

Xia Zijin thought of the people who were imprisoned in the dungeon of Fuya, and called Xin'er to come in loudly, put on her clothes, put on her veil, and Rong Yu stood at the door of the house, seeing that she was going out, she immediately leaned forward, "Zijin, you Where is this going?"

"Of course it is to interrogate the prisoner. Do you want to join us?" He Feng must have cleared his mind after being imprisoned for a few days.

The guards quickly prepared the carriage, and the victims outside watched her come out, and they were about to salute, but Xia Zijin stopped her, stepped into the carriage, and went all the way to the magistrate's office.

When the prefect's wife heard that she was coming, she pondered for a moment, rubbed her aching head, and went to pick her up at the gate of the mansion herself.
