Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 490 Doubtful Points
"Since I entered the palace, I have seen the nanny serving behind the concubine mother. Speaking of which, she should be the closest person to the concubine mother." Xia Shengqing frowned, recalling that when he first entered the palace, the nanny taught him the rules. .

At that time, Yue Jing'an passed everything to him through the nanny, and later he more or less guessed that the nanny should be Yue Jing'an's nurse. The maid, if she didn't stay in the palace voluntarily, she would have been dismissed long ago.

In addition, Yue Jingan is obviously very dependent on her, and even discusses things with her, all of which show that the nanny is not just a simple slave, she can also play the role of a military adviser, and give Yue Jingan some suggestions at the right time .

"If it's true as you said, it won't be surprising. Nanny has been by Concubine Lian's side and protected her for the rest of her life. Concubine Lian will treat her as her own mother, and it's only natural for her to be willing to take the blame for her."

Xia Zijin's mind turned around, and she realized Yue Jing'an's intentions. It was nothing more than worrying that Xia Shengqing would kill her directly if she found out that it was the nanny who did it. In this way, she might as well keep the matter on her own. body, to save Mammy's life.

It's just that, as the master, she should be blamed for her slaves, and even break up with her own son for this. Yue Jing'an must be very unhappy in her heart. Under the extreme depression, she naturally blamed the whole thing on her mother body, so she would get angry.

If things were really as she had guessed, it would not be surprising that Yue Jing'an would get angry.Xia Zijin pondered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, "Sheng Qing, if you want to know what's going on with this matter, you might as well tie the nanny here and ask."

Hearing her use the word "tied", Xia Shengqing couldn't help being taken aback, then understood what she meant and nodded.

On the other side, not long after the prime minister left, the prince's mansion welcomed the eunuch who sent the message.Xia Tianqin changed into clean clothes, and specially fumigated the clothes with incense to cover up the strong smell of alcohol on his body before going to the front yard to meet the eunuch.

Seeing him coming out, the chief eunuch stepped forward very politely, and cupped his hands to show respect.Xia Qin didn't push him too hard, and raised his hand a little, which was regarded as giving him face.A slight smile flashed across the eunuch's eyes, the prince was much more humble than he hadn't seen these days.

It's a pity that he was too daring before, which already made the emperor suspicious. Even if he is willing to change now, it is impossible for a suspicious person like the emperor to accept him again.His position as the crown prince had disappeared as early as when Emperor Ming Sheng publicly condemned him.

The reason why the crown prince is not abolished now is not because the emperor still believes in him, but because he is afraid of causing turmoil in the court, so he is told to continue to sit in this position.

Thinking of this, the eunuch's eyes couldn't help but sneer, "His Royal Highness, the emperor sent the servants to pass the decree, announcing you into the palace, saying that he has something important to ask you."

Xia Qin's heart skipped a beat. At this time, apart from Xia Zijin's matter, there was nothing else important in the capital.Thinking of the person who secretly attacked Xia Zijin, his teeth itch with hatred.Regardless of whether the other party is unintentional or intentional, the blame is on him.

If he were to know who framed him behind his back, he would definitely not forgive him lightly.If Xia Zijin hadn't been seriously injured this time, and he almost lost his life, he couldn't help but suspect that she directed and acted herself, with the purpose of framing him.

Xia Tian leaned in the carriage entering the palace, rubbed his hangover head, picked up hot tea to rinse his mouth, opened the empty tea cup beside him, spit out the tea in his mouth, and put the square folded handkerchief He picked it up and wiped his mouth. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the voice of the coachman calling him outside.

He immediately put the dirty handkerchief in his hand on the table, lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the palace gate in front of him with complicated eyes, and stepped on the footstool to get out of the car.

Ming Shengdi was waiting for him in the imperial study room early in the morning. Although those remarks had been suppressed, he still heard some. It's normal to come and ask.

Seeing Xia Qin push the door in, Ming Shengdi squinted his eyes, slightly tightened his palm on the table, knocked on the table twice, and his sharp eyes fell on Xia Qin.

As soon as Xia Qin entered the imperial study room, he was faced with a scrutinizing gaze. Although he knew that Ming Shengdi called him in because he doubted him, he still couldn't help clenching his fists, took a deep breath, suppressed the aggrieved chest, respectfully He stepped forward respectfully and saluted, "I have seen my father."

"Tianqin, what rumors have you heard in the mansion these days?" Ming Shengdi asked tentatively, his eyes fell on him motionlessly, his face was majestic, and he rushed towards his face with a sense of oppression.

Xia Tian took a deep breath, bitterness spread in his mouth, I am afraid that no matter what he said this time, he would not be able to dispel Ming Shengdi's suspicion.It's just that this matter was not done by him, and if he wanted to plant it on him, it would be absolutely impossible!
He instantly clenched the palm hidden in his sleeve, the sharp nails left streaks of blood on his palm, his expression was constantly changing, and suddenly he knelt on the ground with a "plop", straightened his back, and looked at Ming Shengdi with tears in his eyes.

Ming Shengdi was taken aback by his sudden action, and his brows frowned involuntarily. Just as he was about to ask the eunuch to help him up, Xia Qin said sadly: "Father, my son is here, please invite Father Give me justice."

"Fair?" Ming Shengdi was confused, looked at him in confusion, and waited for him to continue.

Seeing Xia Tianqin gritted his teeth tightly, as if he had suffered a great humiliation, the veins on his cheeks were swollen, Ming Shengdi looked at him like this, he couldn't help but became interested, temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and watched with great interest he.

After a long while, Xia Qin seemed to have made up his mind, and said firmly: "Father, my son heard that the imperial sister was ambushed by assassins at the gate of the palace. Is this true?"

He was locked in the mansion and thought about it, and he couldn't pay attention to the outside affairs. Otherwise, with Ming Shengdi's suspicious temperament, he might be suspected of conspiracy.He lowered his head, a mocking look flashed in his eyes.

Ming Shengdi didn't expect him to talk about it first, and the tiger's eyes darkened involuntarily, looking at him thoughtfully, and suddenly chuckled, "You have good news."

Xia Qin's heart skipped a beat, he forced himself to calm down, and spit out the excuses he had prepared before he came, "This matter is rumored in the capital, and it is said that Erchen is the mastermind who sent someone to assassinate the imperial sister. I have no choice but to pay attention to the pure reputation, so I paid more attention to it."

"Father!" He suddenly raised his voice and cried out sadly, "This matter has nothing to do with my son! Father! You must return my son's innocence and arrest this man in the dark."

Seeing that the expression on Emperor Ming's face didn't change much, he gritted his teeth, let go of his clenched fists, and showed a worried expression, "Father, this person is so bold that he dared to assassinate at the gate of the palace. I didn't take you seriously, so I can't say when, this assassin will sneak into the palace secretly and pose a threat to your safety, father."

His words hit Ming Shengdi's heart immediately, and Ming Shengdi's face immediately darkened, so gloomy that he almost dripped water.Xia Tian's frequent remark was indeed what he was most worried about.

The previous assassination of Concubine Xin was enough to show that the guards in this palace were flawed. Otherwise, how could the assassin sneak into Concubine Xin's palace so easily? If he killed him, it would be his concubine who died.

Ming Shengdi's originally angry face distorted in an instant, wishing to find out the person behind the attack immediately and tear him into pieces, so that he could sit on his throne with peace of mind.

"Hmph! You have been wronged? If you hadn't acted shamelessly before, how could you have caused suspicion? Alright, I will deal with this matter. You are returning to the mansion now, and you are not allowed to leave the mansion without my permission."

Seeing him acting like he cared about him, Ming Shengdi couldn't help but think of Yue Jing'an telling him that he had pointed an arrow at him, his chest was churning, and he was so disgusted that he almost wanted to vomit.

He really didn't want to see Xia Qin's hypocritical appearance, so he waved his hand and drove him away.

Since Xia Qin dared to come to him and beg him to find out who was behind the scenes, either the matter had nothing to do with him, or he had already figured out a way to get himself out.Judging from the current situation, it is more like the first one.

After Ming Shengdi thought about it in his heart, he lost interest in continuing to test him.Xia Qin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, grasped the sleeve edge with the palm hidden in the sleeve, caressed the pattern on it, raised the stone in his throat, and then fell back into his stomach.

The news that Xia Qin was called into the palace by Ming Shengdi to reprimand soon spread, and the people who had guessed before became more and more convinced that it was Xia Qin who attacked Xia Zijin in private. If not, why would Ming Shengdi call him to the palace specifically? Ask in?
When Xia Zijin heard the rumors, she couldn't help raising her head, and chuckled at Rong Yu, "My lord, where did you hear the gossip-loving news? This matter hasn't been investigated clearly, so it may not be because of Xia Qin's mischief."

Rong met her talking for Xia Tian, ​​and immediately looked at her with a look of foolishness, "Zi Jin, you have hurt your brain because of this accident, think about it, how can anyone in this capital hate you so much? I will not hesitate to kill you."

Seeing that he was filled with righteous indignation, Xia Zijin sighed quietly. Rong Yu didn't know about her and Xia Shengqing's affairs, so it's not surprising that she would believe those remarks outside.She picked up the broken hair beside her ears, "My lord, whether it is true or not, we have no real evidence. If you talk nonsense like this, if someone takes advantage of you, you can't afford to go around."

He is good at discussing the prince, but he is really rebellious.Xia Zijin raised her eyelids, staring at him with her dark eyes.
