Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 487 Clues
Xia Zijin recovered and saw Xia Shengqing staring at him with a frown, and subconsciously lowered his head to check if there was something wrong with him. Seeing that there was no difference, he raised his head in doubt, and tentatively called out, "Shengqing, what's wrong with you?" ?”

"I'm fine, it's just that I haven't had a good rest these days, and I'm a little sleepy." Xia Shengqing forced a smile, suppressed her doubts, and cared about her as always.

If the matter of left and right is really what Zhang Yuanshou said, Xia Zijin was reluctant to wake up because of a knot in her heart, so now that she wakes up, it means that the real world makes her nostalgic even more. It should also be untied, so there is no need for him to ask.

As long as Xia Zijin won't be imprisoned by this knot in the future, it doesn't matter if he knows it or not.Xia Shengqing comforted herself, and her mood calmed down.

Xia Zijin didn't doubt his words. She saw Xia Shengqing injured that day before she fell into a coma. He might have been guarding her since she returned to the mansion. Now that she wakes up, she feels relieved and her tense nerves relax. It's normal to feel tired.

"Then Shengqing, you'd better go to bed early, on my side, you don't have to worry." Xia Zijin originally wanted to ask him about the situation in the court these days.

She was assassinated not long after she walked out of the palace gate. I really don't know whether the person behind the scenes is stupid or smart, but according to the normal logic, I am afraid that everyone now thinks that Xia Qin sent someone to assassinate her. Who told her I went to the Prince's Mansion to make a big fuss earlier.

In this way, Xia Qin is indeed the most suspected, but for some reason, Xia Zijin always feels that this matter has nothing to do with Xia Qin.

According to Xia Qin's temperament, he should never do such a reckless thing.Xia Zijin leaned half of her body on the bedpost, her head aching from thinking about it, and she rubbed her temples with her fingers.Xia Shengqing was just about to get up to give her a massage when three cuckoo calls came from outside the window.

Xia Zijin unconsciously raised the corners of her lips, and looked at Xia Shengqing with a half-smile, rather jokingly, "Sheng Qing, your subordinates are here to find you."

After Xia Shengqing confessed his life experience to her before, he truthfully told her the way he communicated with his subordinates, where did the birds come from in the winter, so this call was also a signal from Xia Shengqing's subordinates.

Coming here at this time is probably because of her assassination.Xia Zijin watched him go out, pursed her lips, and quickly searched for suspicious persons in her mind.

The spies waiting outside waited until Xia Shengqing came out, and immediately bowed and walked up to him, "This subordinate has seen the master."

"Tell me, what did you find out?" When he woke up yesterday, he contacted the person in the palace who was responsible for investigating the news, and separately inquired about the news, so as to find out who was trying to harm Xia Zijin.

It's no wonder that he thought that the assassination was aimed at Xia Zijin. That day, when the assassins faced him, they obviously flinched, but they just kept holding on to Xia Zijin, making it clear that they wanted her life.

"Master, there are signs of something happening this time, but this subordinate doesn't know whether to investigate further, so I came here specially to ask you for instructions." The spies who came to report had an embarrassing expression on their faces.

Xia Shengqing looked at his expression, and slowly frowned, "Say, what is it?"

Waves of unease emanated from his heart and flowed to his limbs, almost swallowing his whole body into this unease.

The spy naturally didn't miss the impatience in his tone, gritted his teeth, and said: "This subordinate found out that this matter seems to be related to Concubine Lian. Master, this subordinate still needs..."

"Shut up! You're talking nonsense!" When he came over to express his worries earlier, Xia Shengqing thought of this possibility. Given Yue Jingan's dislike for Xia Zijin, it's not surprising that he would attack her.

It's just that Xia Shengqing couldn't help changing his color after confirming his guess from other people's mouths, trying to cover up Yue Jing'an's true temperament in front of his subordinates.

"Okay, this king knows about this matter, you go back and tell them not to act rashly for the time being." After Xia Shengqing made up his mind, he waved him to leave, lowered his eyes, and his eyes were complicated.

"Yes, this subordinate knows." The spy was obviously stunned for a moment. He knew Xia Shengqing's feelings for Xia Zijin, and the reason why he asked him to stop inquiring about the news now was nothing more than trying to cover up the truth.

It's a pity... The spy clenched his hand hanging by his side for an instant, thinking of Yue Jing'an, he shook his head silently, hoping that the empress could understand the painstaking efforts of the master, and it would not be in vain for the master to think about her like this.

If someone else dared to attack Xia Zijin, Xia Shengqing would have come to him and made a fuss. I don't know if the master wants to make peace with others this time, or if he wants to ask Concubine Lian himself, the spies bowed and took a few steps back, turned around go down.

Xia Shengqing looked at his back, fingers buckled on his belt, various thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally made up his mind, after Xia Zijin fell asleep, he would quietly enter the palace and ask Yue Jing'an about this matter.

If she really didn't do it, then I'll ask the spies to investigate further. In this way, it won't be considered a delay.

Just wanting to think about it, he went back to the room and saw Xia Zijin half leaning on the bed with his eyes closed, his mouth opened, and he couldn't stop showing a guilty expression on his face.

Xia Zijin heard the sound of pushing the door and footsteps, and knew that he was back. He thought he would tell him the news, but after waiting for a long time, Xia Zijin didn't hear his voice, so he opened his eyes suspiciously, It happened to bring those guilty emotions back into his eyes.

"Sheng Qing, that person was talking about my business just now. With your appearance, it's hard to believe that you are Concubine Lian..." Xia Zijin analyzed each sentence, staring at him closely.

Hearing her mention Yue Jing'an, Xia Shengqing trembled like an electric shock, and responded like a conditioned reflex, "No, it won't be her..."

When he came back to his senses, he realized what he had just said to Xia Zijin, his face flushed red, and he hurriedly sat next to her, grasping her palm tightly, "Zijin, it can't be the concubine's mother. I must give you an explanation."

Seeing that he couldn't wait to promise that it was just to reassure her, Xia Zijin couldn't help laughing, but a cold wind was poured into her throat, and she couldn't help coughing.

Seeing two unnatural blushes appear on her cheeks, Xia Shengqing pinched her face subconsciously, got up and walked to the window, took down the stick holding the window, and closed the window completely.

The cool air outside was cut off at once, Xia Zijin watched him busy, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sheng Qing, do you have any news about us being assassinated?"

Xia Shengqing saw that she was worrying about the court affairs just after waking up, so she stretched out her hand and scratched the tip of her nose unconsciously, moved the burning stove closer, and the warm breath immediately hit Xia Zijin's body one after another.

The warm feeling made Xia Zijin feel so comfortable that she couldn't help moaning. Her high-pitched voice seemed to be whispering in his ear that day, making Xia Shengqing think of the morning when the accident happened. voice.

Xia Shengqing looked at her, his expression involuntarily became ambiguous, Xia Zijin looked up and saw the naked desire and obvious longing in his dark pupils.

"Sheng Qing, you are..." Xia Zijin hesitated for a moment, blushing, but decided to carry out what she had said, and spoke hesitantly.

"Zijin, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first, and I'll see you later." But before she could finish her words, Xia Shengqing interrupted her, stood up and was about to leave.

Seeing the reluctance on his face, Xia Zijin pursed her lips unconsciously.Xia Shengqing walked straight out of the room, and the cold wind from outside directly penetrated into his body along his collar, making him wake up instantly.As soon as he took two steps, he saw Rong Yu rushing over with a very excited face.

Xia Shengqing stopped involuntarily, frowned and waited for him to approach, and stopped in front of him, "Where are you going, sir?"

Before Xia Zijin woke up, he sent someone to send a letter to Rongyu, who was also taking care of Xia Zijin, to tell him the news of Xia Zijin's awakening.Rong Yu couldn't wait to see Xia Zijin, but now that he stopped him, he immediately gave him an annoyed look, grabbed his arm, and forced him to put it down, "Of course my son is going to visit Princess Mingzhu."

Right now, Xia Zijin's heart is hung on Xia Shengqing, and he is a jealous jar, and I am angry with him, just to let him know that there is himself behind Xia Zijin, and if Xia Zijin is bullied in the future, he will be the first to kill Xia Zijin. Take away.

Feeling the news from him, Xia Shengqing originally had a little gratitude in his heart for him starting to take care of her, but now it all disappeared with his words.

When he thought that his Xia Zijin was missed by so many people, and Rong Yu didn't hide his thoughts, he couldn't help sneering, "In that case, the prince should go, but Zijin is taking a nap, the prince must not disturb her."

Seeing him constantly telling himself, Rong Yu's head was about to explode, and he couldn't help rubbing the center of his brows, "Xia Shengqing, don't worry, this son is just watching."

After Xia Shengqing woke up, he asked what happened. He knew that Xia Zijin was trying to block Xia Shengqing's arrows, so he forcibly endured it, and asked the people in the dark to seize the opportunity and gave her an arrow.

This disregard of his own life, only caring about Xia Shengqing's behavior, Rong Yu couldn't help being envious just by listening to it, but he really couldn't bear to let Xia Zijin defend him, let alone, he already felt sorry for Xia Zijin Xia Shengqing, who is in Jin, probably blamed himself for being shot by her arrow.

Seeing that he suddenly got up serious, Xia Shengqing froze on the spot, and nodded after a long while, "Then I would like to thank my son."

Rong Yu watched him leave, then turned around and knocked on the door. Hearing Xia Zijin's voice from inside, he opened the door and went in, only to see Xia Zijin leaning on the soft pillow with tea in his hands.

At that moment, Rong Yu's eye circles turned red. He had been so worried that he couldn't sleep at night for the past few days. Now that Xia Zijin was fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
