Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 48 Seeking Cooperation
Xia Zijin understood that Yue Jing'an was playing Tai Chi with her, so she didn't expose it, and said: "The business that the princess is talking about is not a money business."

"Is Concubine Lian interested in the sale of the emperor's grace and favor?"

Yue Jing'an's expression fluctuated, and she looked up at Xia Zijin seriously, only to see that the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, her face was normal, and she didn't mean to joke with her at all.

"The princess didn't quite understand what she said, and I became confused when I heard it. Since it is the emperor's favor, how can I use it for business?" Yue Jingan asked with a smile, as if she wanted to test Xia Zijin.

Xia Zijin moved forward a few steps, put his hands in his sleeve pockets, and said slowly: "Father is now in his forties, father is old, and he is not very keen on the matter of sex between men and women. Otherwise, those new ladies who have entered the palace will not stay alone and lose to the concubine Yue who is already over [-] years old."

Yue Jingan frowned, not understanding the true meaning of Xia Zijin's words.

I only heard Xia Zijin continue: "Ten years ago, the noble concubine Yue was just a concubine Yue, and her favor was far inferior to today's, but after the death of Concubine Dong in Xiwanyuan, she suddenly climbed up and became the most prosperous concubine today. Your noble concubine, among them... are there various reasons?"

Her words seemed to be talking to herself, and she seemed to be asking Yue Jing'an, but when Yue Jing'an heard Concubine Dong's name, a trace of unknown emotion flashed in Yue Jing'an's eyes.

"What would the princess want to say to Bengong?" She opened her lips and said, her beautiful eyes rolled on Xia Zijin's face, taking her expression into her eyes.

"The meaning of this princess is very simple. I just sincerely want to do business with Concubine Lian. The princess and the concubine lotus join forces, so don't talk about it." Xia Zijin said slowly, straight to the point and stated the purpose of the trip, she could tell that Yue Jing'an didn't like people who beat around the bush, so she simply let it go.

Yue Jing'an pursed her lips and chuckled, stepped into Xia Zijin, looked at her and said, "Why does the princess think that this palace is willing to join hands with you?"

The crystal clear snow fell on the shoulders and hair of the two, mixed with the little raindrops, making it icy cold.

"This princess is just proposing such a deal. Whether or not we want to cooperate depends entirely on Concubine Lian's will." Xia Zijin looked up at Xiang Yue Jing'an's inquiring expression, and said calmly, "It's just that Concubine Lian has been converted to the Buddhist temple for more than ten years. Don't you want to avenge your own sister?"

Xia Zijin's words made Yue Jingan's expression turn cold, she looked closer at Xia Zijin, and said in a deep voice, "What do you know?"

Xia Zijin met Yue Jing'an's somewhat sharp eyes calmly, and returned a faint smile.

In fact, she doesn't know much, but she made a bold inference based on Ming Shengdi's obsession with the Xiwanyuan incident and the entanglement between Yue Jing'an and Ming Shengdi. After redeploying her household registration and identity, she moved into the palace as Concubine Lian, so Yue Jinglan should do the same.But looking at the entire palace, there has been no news of Yue Jinglan in the past ten years.

Then there is only one possibility, that Emperor Ming Sheng deliberately buried the news of Yue Jinglan.

It was rumored that Yue Jinglan committed suicide, but at that time she was pregnant with Ming Shengdi's child, even if she hated and hated Ming Shengdi, she shouldn't kill herself while pregnant with Liujia.

As for the other Concubine Dong of Xiwanyuan, who made the Ming Emperor feel very worried, only her name was heard, but no one had ever seen this concubine who was favored for a while.All the palace people who had seen Concubine Dong and served Concubine Dong were reduced to scorched earth in that fire.

The connection of all these things made Xia Zijin have a bold guess.

Could Yue Jinglan be Concubine Dong?

If this is the case, then the cause of Yue Jinglan's death remains to be explored, whether she really committed suicide, and whether it was rumored that Concubine Dong was infected with a strange contagious disease that made Ming Shengdi painfully order the palace to be burned, or whether it was related to her. Concubine Yue, who was still the concubine Yue at that time, couldn't get rid of the relationship?Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that when Concubine Dong died, Concubine Yue became a noble concubine, and there must be a deep reason for it.

"This princess just knows that Concubine Dong shouldn't have died, but she was too favored by her father and envied by others, that's why she suffered the unreasonable disaster, and the person who can't see Concubine Dong favored the most is the noble concubine Yue today. Ma'am, is what this princess said right?" She was just being aggressive, and she didn't know if she was right or wrong, if Concubine Dong was really Yue Jinglan, then Yue Jing'an must have known about it.

After hearing this, Yue Jing'an's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't speak.

Seeing her like this, Xia Zijin breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that she guessed right.

"Although this princess knows that Concubine Dong was probably killed by Concubine Yue, she doesn't know much about the rest. But it doesn't matter if you know these things. Concubine Lian probably has a deep grudge against Concubine Yue because of Concubine Dong. , and this princess also wants to pull down Yue Guifei for some reasons."

"Since the empress and this princess have the same goal, why don't they join hands to face each other?" Xia Zijin said, trying to show her sincerity, because she really didn't have much confidence in Yue Jing'an.

If she really wants to avenge Yue Jinglan, but she has endured in the Buddhist hall for so many years, her endurance is really staggering.

Yue Jing'an's expression was obscure, she looked at Xia Zijin with deep meaning in her eyes, her lips moved lightly, as if she was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by a voice.

"Princess, you came out so suddenly, why didn't you tell me."

The two looked back, only to see Xia Shengqing standing three feet away, standing side by side.

"Your servant sees Concubine Lian." Xia Shengqing bowed and saluted without moving her eyes.

Yue Jinglan flashed a hint of anger, and he came to mix something up again.

"Princess, come back with me, the emperor won't find you later, you should be in a hurry." Xia Shengqing grabbed Xia Zijin's sleeve, ignored Yue Jing'an's dissatisfied expression, and wanted to take her away .

Xia Zijin has not yet received a positive answer from Yue Jing'an, and Xia Shengqing pulled his sleeves for some unknown reason. After weighing one or two, he had to say to Yue Jing'an: "Changing the Japanese princess to visit Concubine Lian, what the Japanese princess said today I hope Empress Lian will think about it."

When Xia Shengqing heard that she was going to visit Yue Jing'an, she became even more worried, and couldn't help urging Xia Zijin to leave with him as soon as possible.

Yue Jing'an was his biological mother, so he naturally knew what kind of crazy and terrifying side was hidden behind Yue Jing'an's elegant and quiet face.

Just like how she has been whipping and restraining herself for many years, Yue Jing'an was a little crazy when she was forcibly robbed into the palace. Coupled with the stimulation of Yue Jinglan's death, Yue Jing'an can still tolerate the existence of Concubine Yue, precisely because She wants to rely on Concubine Yue to paralyze Ming Shengdi, so that Ming Shengdi has no time to take care of her behind the scenes and use the power that Ming Shengdi delegated to her to act secretly.

Xia Zijin didn't know anything about Yue Jing'an, and she didn't understand that Yue Jing'an wanted to kill more than the noble concubine Shui Yanran.

Also, Holy Emperor Ming!

Pulling Xia Zijin's sleeves along the way, Xia Shengqing remained silent, and the two of them made a series of clearly visible footprints in a flat, white snow field, stretching all the way, as if there was no end.

"Shengqing, why did you stop this princess?" Xia Zijin stared at the sleeve where the two intersected, and asked in bewilderment.

Xia Shengqing didn't know how to talk to Xia Zijin and tell her her identity. Now is not the time, but if Xia Zijin and Yue Jing'an are allowed to keep in touch, it is not the way either.

"Princess...the Concubine Lotus is not as favored as Concubine Yue, nor is she as famous as Concubine Yue. What's the point of joining forces with her? If the princess wants to deal with Concubine Yue, we can slowly find a way."

Xia Zijin shook his head and said: "Looking at the palace, only Concubine Lian is the most suitable one. Besides, Concubine Dong should be her own sister, who died so wrongly. Doesn't Concubine Lian want to avenge Concubine Dong?"

Xia Shengqing didn't ask how Xia Zijin knew the identity of Sister Yue Jing'an, but when she mentioned it, he also mentioned a few words.

"Concubine Dong's death...is indeed related to Concubine Yue, but not necessarily so."

"Why?" Xia Zijin asked. Concubine Dong and Yue Jinglan's identities were equal. It was her bold guess. As for the truth, she really didn't know much about it.

"At that time, Concubine Dong was pregnant with Liujia, and her own daughter was held in the hands of Ming Shengdi. Naturally, she didn't dare to act rashly. It's just that Concubine Yue couldn't see that she was so favored, so she gave her a poison that would make her sick. It's just that she is as smart as Concubine Dong. , how could she not know the tricks of Concubine Yue, but she was ashamed, so she did not dismantle the conspiracy of Concubine Transiting, and calmly drank the bowl of poison called anti-fetal medicine."

Xia Shengqing said lightly, her gaze seemed to be looking far away. Strictly speaking, Concubine Dong Yue Jinglan was his aunt, but he was inserted into the palace by Yue Jingan late, and he had never met her aunt, only from Yue Jingan's mouth. Hearing these gossips, I couldn't help but sigh.

"It turns out that's the case. No wonder the father is so worried about the Xiwan Courtyard. I'm afraid he thought that Concubine Dong was really suffering from a strange disease and was pregnant with his own flesh and blood. But for the sake of the overall situation, he had to order the palace to be burnt down. I can't let go of killing the woman I love."

Xia Zijin nodded and said, in this way all her doubts were sorted out.

"It's just the princess. Concubine Lian has been in the palace for a long time. Why do you need to cooperate with Concubine Lian..." Xia Shengqing frowned. He couldn't break the relationship between himself and Yue Jing'an. He mentioned Xia Zijin in a side-by-side manner.

"It's okay, this princess has her own plans."

Xia Shengqing was about to speak again, but Xia Zijin stretched out a hand to him.

"Mother said, walking through the frost and snow with your husband, you will be happy every year. Although this princess and Shengqing are not husband and wife yet, they are going to get married sooner or later. Why don't you give it a try?"

Xia Zijin's smile was gentle and touching, even if he was an immortal from the Nine Heavens, he was not half as good as her in his heart.
