Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 475 The identity of the assassin

The face covered by the black cloth only showed a pair of slender eyebrows and eyes, which were all enchanting, and her voice was clear and charming. Xia Zijin looked at her with a complicated expression, her mouth opened, and she wanted to speak, but she couldn't utter a word.

Rong Yu also didn't expect that the person coming would be a woman. Looking at her slightly familiar eyebrows and eyes, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened suddenly, and it took a long time before he breathed out, "You are..."

Knowing that the two of them recognized him, the man in black simply stopped hiding it and tore off the black cloth on his face, raised his head, "Your Majesty recognized him?"

This face is obviously the Aunt Qing who I saw during the day.Different from the indulgence and greed in the daytime, she didn't show any fear on her face. Instead, she stared at Xia Zijin, spat out a mouthful of blood, tightened her hand holding the sword, and gasped, "Princess Has Your Highness been here waiting for me?"

"Aunt Qing, I don't know if you can explain to this princess what kind of attire you are wearing?" Xia Zijin avoided answering, staring at her injured shoulder that was bleeding continuously, and sighed from the bottom of her heart.I have to say that Aunt Qing's acting skills are so good that she even deceived me today. If I hadn't seen her appearing here in this attire with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed her.

Aunt Qing met her complicated eyes and sneered, "Why do you need to ask questions knowingly, Your Highness?"

Seeing her close her eyes, Xia Zijin looked like she was at her mercy, and then his eyes fell on her abdomen, "Aunt Qing, even if you want to be loyal to your master, don't you think about the flesh and blood in your belly at all?" It doesn't matter if you die, but he is still so young, as a mother, you don't even allow him to open his eyes to see the world?"

Aunt Qing was stabbed in pain by her, she suddenly opened her eyes, and looked at her resentfully.Xia Zijin didn't feel ashamed at all for using her child to threaten her, she just stared at her, waiting for her answer.

In order to complete the task assigned by her superiors, this Aunt Qing did not hesitate to seduce the magistrate of Yingzhou, causing the whole city to live in dire straits, and she did not have the slightest scruples when she became pregnant. As a mother, she always had some scruples by nature.

However, after a while, Aunt Qing sneered, "Your Highness is so simple, what kind of child, I don't want him at all, who wants to give birth to that idiot? Don't take a pee to take care of yourself, bah!"

Seeing her look of disdain and disgust, Xia Zijin was silent, and just about to open his mouth, an angry voice sounded from behind her, "You bastard!"

Before she had time to speak, Aunt Qing was kicked by him, right in her center, and spit out a mouthful of blood. She turned her head to look at him, then quickly averted her eyes, and her eyes flicked over Xia Zijin and the others one by one.Xia Zijin frowned involuntarily, always feeling that her gaze just now was a little strange.

Before she could think about it, Xiao Fu had already turned his head and cupped his fists at her, "Princess, this person has ulterior motives to confuse my father and cause such a catastrophe. Please ask the princess to punish her severely."

Aunt Qing closed her eyes in despair, unconsciously let go of the palm holding the flying knife in her sleeve, let the flying knife fall to the ground, coughed twice while clutching her chest, spit out a big mouthful of blood, the light in her eyes flashed, suddenly haha laughing out loud.Xia Zijin was just about to reply when she heard her weird laughter and turned pale with fright, "Quick, don't let her die!"

It's a pity that as soon as the words fell, Aunt Qing bit the poison hidden between her teeth. She tilted her head and lost her breath. The guard who rushed over tried to take the poison out of her mouth, but was a step too late, and her fingers touched her breath , immediately shrank back, shaking his head at Xia Zijin with an ugly expression.

Xia Zijin clenched her fists, bit her lip, remained silent for a while, and turned to leave without saying a word.Xiao Fu seemed to be shocked by the incident in front of him, he was stunned, watching her leave with a worried expression, he opened his mouth to explain, but he had nothing to say.After all, if he hadn't come over suddenly and kicked Aunt Qing, Aunt Qing might not have died.

The news of He Feng's death in prison quickly spread to the capital. Ming Shengdi learned that he had committed suicide in fear of crime, and was so angry that he wanted to ransack his home. It was the ministers in the court who appeased him.Considering his previous military exploits, Ming Shengdi's anger subsided a little.

After Qinglian knew that Emperor Ming was assassinated, she passed the news to the people behind her, and she secretly investigated in the palace.Seeing that Ming Shengdi was supposed to arrive today, she made hot tea herself, and before she had time to smell whether the tea was suitable, a palm stretched out from behind her and took the teacup in her hand.

The familiar smell made her tremble all over, and she recovered after two tremblings. Qinglian turned her head to look at him with a stiff body, subconsciously took a step back, trying to keep a distance from him, "My lord, the emperor is coming soon."

Seeing the uncontrollable fear on her face, the visitor narrowed his eyes instantly, and clasped her chin anxiously, "What? Does being touched by this son make you so scared?"

"Your Majesty was joking. This servant is just worried that something will happen to you, Majesty." The sharp pain in her chin made her frown unconsciously, and tried her best to raise the corners of her lips, trying to please him.

It's a pity that this method didn't work. The person in front of him stared at her coldly for a while before letting go, "He won't come today."

"Why?" If it was normal, Qinglian wished that Ming Shengdi would not come and serve someone who could be her grandfather, even though she knew in her heart that it was just a joke, she still couldn't help feeling sick.

The visitor raised the corners of his lips and looked at her with a smile, as if he was looking at a piece of goods, "Naturally, because there is a more lovable person, the voice of the demon concubine in the hall keeps making the emperor feel uncomfortable."

Qinglian hated his gaze the most, and the coolness came over him like waves. She subconsciously lowered her head and took a sip of the tea cup to hide her embarrassment and nervousness. , he will naturally have some doubts, presumably he is going to Concubine Lian now."

"You're smart." The man glanced at her, took the cup of tea she made naturally, took a sip, and looked at her with interest.

Whenever he looked at her like this, Qinglian couldn't help but think of what happened last time, and suddenly felt sick.The man snorted coldly, "Qinglian, you'd better do what my son ordered you to do as soon as possible, otherwise..."

Before he finished speaking, a notification came from outside, saying that Ming Shengdi had arrived, the man's words stopped immediately, Qinglian knocked over the teacup in his hand, and looked towards the palace door in shock.

The man also had a shocked expression on his face, he turned his head to look at Qinglian, remained silent for a while, then got up and went out from the window.Seeing him leave, Qinglian took a breath and turned her head to look outside the palace gate.

Seeing Ming Shengdi stepping in, because she was worried that Ming Shengdi would find out, she immediately rushed forward, grabbed Ming Shengdi's lapel and cried, Ming Shengdi originally wanted to go to Concubine Lian, but she didn't expect to pass by her. By chance, he walked in.

Hearing her crying at this moment, her heart almost melted, Qinglian was sure that the visitor had gone far away, she suddenly put away her tears, struggled out of his arms, and knelt down in front of Ming Shengdi who still didn't know why , "Your majesty, I beg you to give me the body of a dead concubine."

Ming Shengdi frowned instantly, "What's wrong with you?"

Qinglian raised her head weeping, blinking her eyes and tried her best not to let her tears fall, "Your Majesty, the previous courts have been talking about concubine being a demon concubine, which troubled you so much. If this is the case, your majesty should give me the concubine's death, so as not to worry about it." Make the emperor feel tired."

Ming Shengdi looked at her distressedly, held his palms tightly, was stunned for a moment, knelt down and helped her up, looked at her expression, and sighed slightly, "Get up, I will care about this matter myself. "

Seeing that he didn't protect her as before, Qinglian couldn't bear a thud in her heart, and raised her head tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I thank you Majesty."

Seeing that she not only didn't blame him, but also thought of himself like this, Ming Shengdi felt apologetic inexplicably, looked away, and sighed, "Qinglian, it's not that I don't want to protect you, it's just that those ministers are too... ..."

"Your Majesty, the concubine knows about it." Qinglian interrupted him, let him help her up, and fell into his arms, "As long as the emperor has a concubine in his heart, it will be fine."

On the other side, when Yue Jing'an learned that Ming Shengdi had gone to Qinglian's place again, she angrily threw the cup in her hand to the ground, her eyes full of hatred.The nanny on the side couldn't help but uttered angrily, "Ma'am, what should I do?"

"What should I do? The emperor is already so dazed by her, since you can't be euphemistic, just be direct." Yue Jing'an coughed up blood, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said viciously, if Qinglian stood still at this moment In front of her, he would definitely be cut into pieces by her eyes.

Hearing the viciousness in her words, Mammy couldn't help shivering, lowered her head, and didn't dare to say a word.

On the other side, after receiving the note, Xia Shengqing rushed over to the location above, but waited for the other party to show up alone, and then came out of the forest where he was hiding, with a sneering expression, "His Royal Highness Was ordered by the emperor to confine him to the mansion, and dared to come out privately, isn't the prince afraid that the emperor will know about it?"

Xia Tianqin looked at him with eyes wishing to eat him raw, "Xia Shengqing, don't pretend to be a fool, the crown prince asked you, but you are going to talk nonsense in front of the father?"

After Xia Qin was reprimanded by Ming Shengdi, Xia Shengqing was ready for him to come to his door. Hearing his questioning, his expression didn't change at all, "His Royal Highness's words are wrong. How did you get this king? This king is just telling the truth."

Xia Qin was choked by him, gasped for breath, and suddenly snorted coldly, "Xia Shengqing, don't give this prince a chance, when the time comes, your life will definitely be worse than death!"

Seeing him go crazy, Xia Shengqing's eyes turned cold. Just as she was about to speak, she heard footsteps, and her expression immediately sank.
