Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 473 Desperate

Rong Yu followed her gaze, and saw Xiao Fu standing at the gate of the yard with a gloomy expression. He was startled, then raised the corners of his lips, blinked his peach blossom eyes, and teased her deliberately, "Zi Jin, what are you doing?" It's too cruel. If this gets out, it will not be good for Xiao Fu's reputation."

Xia Zijin sneered when he saw his yin and yang, "What? Rong Shizi fell in love with him after seeing him? Does this make you feel bad?"

Rong Yu was choked by her, froze in place, subconsciously glanced at Xiao Fu who was walking towards him, took an exaggerated step back, clamped his legs, and when he came back to his senses, Xia Zijin covered her lips and snickered .Rong Yu was embarrassed, turned his head, and pretended to ignore her anger, but a smile flashed across his eyes calmly.

Xia Zijin just snickered, not noticing the look in his eyes.As Xiao Fu approached, he saw that the two of them were talking and laughing in vain, and unconsciously grasped their palms tightly, feeling an inexplicable trace of jealousy in his heart.

When Rong Yu hit him and appeared, he kept staring at him from the corner of the eye. Just based on his intuition, he felt that Xiao Fu seemed to be interested in Xia Zijin. This love rival was extremely jealous when they met, so Rong Yu naturally wouldn't give him a good look. Seeing him now seems to be jealous, and I can't help but feel proud.

Xiao Fu looked at his provocative expression with the corners of his lips curled up, opened his mouth, was stunned for a while, then suddenly looked at Xia Zijin, "Did the princess ask what you want?"

"I already know." Xia Zijin nodded slightly, her eyes turned around him and Rong Yu, with doubts in her eyes.

Xiao Fu looked calm, nodded, and said, "Since that's the case, the princess should go back to the capital earlier, so as not to worry the son-in-law. The disaster situation in Yingzhou city has stabilized for the time being."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xia Zijin to reply, Xiao Fu passed her by. Xia Zijin turned around and looked at his back in confusion. , his heart suddenly felt like an arrow was shot, he was so blocked that he didn't want to speak, he clutched his chest and let out a cold snort, then turned around and walked towards the government office.

Xia Zijin looked at the backs of the two of them inexplicably, and then started to catch up with Rongyu.Xin'er stood aside watching the play, and couldn't help giggling.

But at this moment, the capital has long been in a state of chaos, and there are rumors that the reason for the heavy snowfall is because Ming Shengdi accepted a demon girl as his concubine, and this demon girl will even threaten Ming Shengdi's life Safety.

Ming Shengdi naturally scolded these people for their nonsense, but he just got angry in the court, and when he came down from the court, he was assassinated in the palace. , but the maid in the palace actually called the Empress to ascend the throne.

Ming Shengdi was terrified when he heard it, and wanted to ask carefully, but she bit her tongue and committed suicide.

Reminiscent of the remarks in the court these days, for the first time a serious look appeared in Ming Shengdi's eyes, and he couldn't help but doubt Qinglian.Ming Shengdi has always preferred to kill a thousand people by mistake, and never let one go. Now that he has doubts about Qinglian, he must ask clearly.

Qinglian didn't know about these things, and when she heard the maid from the outside came in to announce the arrival of Ming Shengdi, she immediately stood up in surprise, and the plum blossom branch in her hand fell to the ground with a "slap".

Ming Shengdi stepped in, just in time to see the undisguised joy on her face, obviously wanting to see him.At that moment, Emperor Ming's full of anger decreased a bit, Qinglian didn't realize that he came over with shock and anger, and went up to meet him as usual, and threw himself directly into the arms of Emperor Ming.

The delicate body carried the fragrance that Ming Shengdi was most familiar with and liked, and it melted directly into his arms. Ming Shengdi trembled twice, but he couldn't hold back. He hugged her all of a sudden, with a look of worry on his brows. color to.

The eunuch watched from the side, his eyes changing, and he secretly paid more attention to Qinglian.For so many years, it was the first time that Emperor Ming Sheng favored his concubine so much. The position of Concubine Xin in Emperor Ming Sheng's heart was self-evident.

Qinglian wrapped her arms around Ming Shengdi's arms, raised her head from his embrace, and saw his worried expression, she felt an inexplicable "thump" in her heart, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, What's the matter with you? I don't seem happy looking at you? But what did those ministers say to bother you today?"

She wrestled out of Ming Shengdi's arms, took off the jacket on his shoulders for him, helped him to sit down at the table, held the handle of the jade pot with one hand, pressed the tea lid with the other, and gave him the tea slowly. He poured out some green tea and brought it to him.

Ming Shengdi took it with his hand, took a sip of hot tea, suppressed the anger in his chest, and looked at her fixedly, "Aifei, do you know what is going on in the hall?"

Seeing his complex expression and still whispering, Qinglian knew that the matter must have something to do with her. She quickly flashed the recent events in her mind, and occasionally heard the rumors, lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled , raised his head again, tears were on the slender eyelashes, "Although I don't know what the court is saying, but the emperor, you look at me in such a difficult way, I can guess some, but As before, someone slandered me as a demon concubine?"

Qinglian covered her face, and began to cry, looking extremely aggrieved.Seeing her, Ming Shengdi guessed it immediately, sighed involuntarily, and saw her crying pear blossoms with rain, and felt even more distressed. He quickly took her into his arms and told her to sit on his lap, " Concubine Ai, don't cry, it's all those bastards talking nonsense, tomorrow I'll chop off their heads! Let Ai Concubine vent your anger."

"That's impossible." Qinglian let go of her palm, and smiled through tears, "In that case, the concubine will become a real demon concubine."

Seeing her cute and innocent pouting, Emperor Ming Sheng had no other feelings except his heartache, and he even told about his assassination, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's really on the way here today. When I met an assassin, he actually referred to her by name and said she was my concubine, so I was confused for a moment..."

Ming Shengdi stared at her closely, and saw that apart from the initial surprise, she quickly turned into worry, and immediately let go of the doubts in his heart, only feeling that he shouldn't doubt her.Qinglian noticed his expression, her posture was full of drama, and she stared at him with teary eyes, "Where is the emperor injured?"

"My concubine, don't worry. The assassin wanted to assassinate me, but was caught by the guards. It's a pity that I couldn't find out who was behind her." Ming Shengdi was full of regret. When he thought of the assassin, he wanted to tear her into pieces. Only in this way can he relieve the hatred in his heart.

And the prime minister, who tried so hard to fabricate bad things about Qinglian, never expected that she would easily dissolve his many-day arrangement.

On the other side, the news of the assassin's intentional failure also reached Yue Jing'an's ears. The mother waved her hand and told the guards who had come to report to step back. She sighed faintly and turned to look at Yue Jing'an, "Your Majesty..."

Yue Jingan glanced at her, her sharp nails dug directly into the armchair, her pupils shrank to the size of a grain of rice, "Nurse, let the news out."

If Ming Shengdi really dotes on Qinglian to this extent, then the only thing that can make Ming Shengdi angry is probably only one way.

She didn't believe it, when Ming Shengdi knew that Qinglian was an orphan from the previous dynasty, he would still spoil her like this.Yue Jing'an picked up the steaming tea and took a sip, a stern look flashed in her eyes.The nanny hesitated to speak, but because the risk was too great, Ming Shengdi might not follow the clues to find them.

But looking at Yue Jing'an's resolute expression, she knew that what she said was useless, so the nanny had no choice but to swallow the words in her mouth, feeling worried in her heart.

Just when Yue Jing'an was about to get rid of Qinglian, she also asked Xia Shengqing for trouble.After Xia Qin was reprimanded by Ming Shengdi, he stayed in the mansion honestly, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

Just because, when he pointed the arrow at Ming Shengdi, only Xia Shengqing saw it.However, this matter was known by Emperor Ming. If he hadn't been clever enough to fool this matter, he would have been executed by Emperor Ming long ago.

But even so, Ming Shengdi's impression of him must be extremely bad, Xia Qin clenched his fists bitterly, bit his lip, patted the bed, handed the written note to the secret guard, and asked him to hand it to Xia Shengqing.

At night, Xia Shengqing was sitting at the square table in the study, opening the letter paper sent by Xia Zijin, when a sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded from outside the window, he subconsciously raised his head, and saw a dart directly extinguishing the lights, heading towards his front door Come.

He hurriedly moved away, and the dart pierced directly into the wall behind him. Xia Shengqing looked at the place where the dart came from with lingering fear, and saw a figure sneaking away.

Xia Shengqing hurriedly chased after him, just as he opened the door, a gust of cool wind mixed with white snow hit his face, blinding his eyes.Xia Shengqing closed his eyes subconsciously, and when he opened them again, he was the only one left in the yard, as if the black shadow he saw just now was just his hallucination.

He frowned suspiciously, pondered for a moment, closed the window with a "snap", walked to the table, relit the oil lamp, asked the servant girl to bring in another lampshade, and put it on top of the oil lamp.

The room was lit up again, Xia Shengqing walked up to the dart, his eyes were fixed on the note tied on the dart, his expression was solemn, he hesitated for a moment, pulled the dart off the wall, took off the note tied on it, and unfolded
Afterwards, Xia Shengqing's pupils showed killing intent, and he clenched the note tightly with his hand, and his internal force gushed out from his palm, shattering the note, and threw it into the copper basin in the room, watching it burn to ashes.

After Xia Zijin came out from the magistrate's office, she went to the dungeon where He Feng was held. The guard in charge was Xia Zijin's man. Seeing her coming, he hurriedly saluted.Xia Zijin walked down the marble steps slowly, looked at the man tied to the cross with shackles on his hands and feet, and sneered twice.

The man imprisoned here is undoubtedly He Feng. When he heard the movement, he immediately raised his head, and saw the coldness on the corner of Xia Zijin's lips. Inexplicably, he shuddered, and he didn't want to meet her eyes.
