Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 495
Xia Shengqing immediately got up and walked into the kitchen.

On the other side, although Emperor Ming Sheng ordered a strict investigation into Xia Zijin's assassination, there has been no news of it these days.

Taking this opportunity, the prime minister once again raised the rumor that the demon concubine would harm the country, and the stone that was said to be engraved with warning words that was salvaged before was also transported into the palace and presented to Ming Shengdi.

Although Ming Shengdi rejected this theory in his heart, when he thought that Xia Zijin could be assassinated at the gate of the palace, those assassins would have to touch the palace someday, so the words on the stone may not be fake.

Seeing that he was more hesitant than before, the prime minister couldn't help but exchanged glances with his colleagues beside him, they all stood up, and said earnestly to Ming Shengdi: "Your Majesty, the demon concubine is a disaster for the country, please get rid of it quickly, don't To be confused by her will be a disaster for the great country!"

The prime minister looked sad, and every word he said was for the sake of the country, Qinglian's charming face appeared in Ming Shengdi's mind, and when he thought that the prime minister's words were aimed at her, he immediately lowered his face, "Enough, prime minister, you say that Concubine Xin every time You are a demon concubine, do you have evidence? If you dare to speak nonsense again, I will dismiss you now and investigate."

"Your Majesty, isn't it enough to prove that the city was closed by heavy snow in Yingzhou, the victims were displaced, the nine thousand-year-old fell off the cliff, and the princess was killed? In previous winters, there was no disaster in Yingzhou, but this year the heavy snow washed away the roads. Didn't the emperor have any doubts about such a big thing?"

The prime minister was not afraid of Ming Shengdi's threats, so he used the excuses and reasons he had prepared long ago, "Concubine Xin just entered the palace, and so many disasters happened, Your Majesty, don't you really find it strange?"

Ming Shengdi was silenced by him, he wanted to defend Qinglian, but in the end, even he couldn't help doubting himself.

The prime minister winked at the official standing beside him, and the official immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to Ming Shengdi, "Your Majesty, what the prime minister said is right. Such a beautiful appearance must not be controlled by ordinary people, it cannot be said..."

"If you have anything else to say, say it together, don't hesitate!" Seeing that he stopped in the middle of speaking, Ming Shengdi slammed the table, and his tone became severe.

The official's legs gave way in fright, and he knelt on the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "I also ask the emperor to forgive me for my innocence, so that I dare to speak."

What he wanted to say would definitely offend Ming Shengdi. Although the prime minister had promised him that he would be safe, it was still not as safe and reliable as what Ming Shengdi promised himself.

Therefore, he will make this request.Ming Shengdi waved his hand and said impatiently: "Sure, let's talk about it, can't you say anything?"

"It can't be said that some ghosts have changed, just to confuse you, the emperor." The official was secretly relieved when he got the guarantee, and took out the words that the prime minister had given her earlier.

"Presumptuous!" Unsurprisingly, Emperor Ming Sheng was really furious, slapped his palm on the table, and stared at him angrily, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will ask the guards to drag you out now, and you will be punished severely Slabs."

"Your Majesty!" Seeing that he was angry, the Prime Minister quickly shouted, "You promised him that you won't blame him."

Ming Shengdi was reminded of this, and had to swallow back the anger that was about to be vented just now. He glared at the prime minister bitterly, and sent his anger to him, "Shut up, when did I allow you to speak!"

"The old minister is talkative." The prime minister immediately lowered his head with a respectful expression.

Seeing him like this, Emperor Ming Sheng had no place to vent his anger, and couldn't help panting.Seeing him like this, the chief eunuch hurriedly shouted that there is something to do, and there is nothing to do.

Before the prime minister could open his mouth again and bring up the matter of Concubine Xin again, Ming Shengdi immediately flung his sleeves and left.

The officials surrounding the Prime Minister watched him leave, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, and couldn't help looking at the Prime Minister anxiously, "Master Prime Minister, what should we do? Your Majesty seems to be..."

"Don't worry, everyone." The corner of the prime minister's lips curled up into a smug smile, "The emperor will always understand. When this topic was brought up before, the emperor was furious. This time he just flung his sleeves and left, which shows that his heart has been shaken a little."

Those officials listened to his analysis and nodded, showing expressions of sudden realization.

The prime minister stroked the beard that he hadn't had time to shave in the past few days, "As long as you and I explain clearly to the emperor how powerful the demon concubine is, the emperor will definitely understand from the bottom of his heart."

"What the Prime Minister said is very true." Everyone flattered without losing their time.

After Ming Shengdi came down to court, he ran directly to Qinglian's house.I don't know if it's because the ministers in the court kept calling her a demon concubine, but Ming Shengdi wanted to prove it even more. If she was a demon concubine, she stayed by his side just to harm him, so why didn't she do it now?
The closer he was to Qinglian's palace, the more Shengdi Ming could find excuses for her, trying to persuade himself to suppress the doubts in his heart.

Qing Lian was making tea with a spoon in the room, when she heard the announcement, she immediately raised her head, threw her arms around his waist, "Your Majesty, why did you come so early today?"

Ming Shengdi shook his body involuntarily, licked his chapped lips, looked at the top of her head with complicated eyes, and froze in place, without any movement.

Qinglian was keenly aware of his difference, raised her head suspiciously, and called twice, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Only then did Ming Shengdi come back to his senses, staring at her with a complicated expression, "Aifei..."

Because Xia Shengqing stayed with Xia Zijin in the mansion, she did not go to the court, but she learned about it from other people.

Because Qinglian was sent to the palace by Xia Zijin, even if she was a little disobedient, she was still Xia Zijin's person, Xia Shengqing hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell Xia Zijin about it.

I thought Xia Zijin would find a way to save her, but Xia Zijin closed her eyes without even moving her eyelids, and snorted coldly, "Since she has her own ideas, why should I save her? She doesn't want to be a pawn, so she can do it herself." Go for it, here I am, don't want disobedient chess pieces."

Since she was reborn, she had never been bullied by anyone. She never expected to be used by such a small character, Xia Zijin naturally felt uncomfortable.

Although she didn't know what happened between Xia Zijin and Qinglian, looking at her face, Xia Shengqing understood that Qinglian was probably too self-assertive and had already been discarded by Xia Zijin.

That being the case, he doesn't have to care about her life or death. The left and right Xia Zijin is not in contact with her now, and even if someone pursues her, they will not be able to find Xia Zijin.

Xia Shengqing pursed her lips, opened the food box she had just brought, took out the prepared plum blossom cakes and yokan from inside, pushed it to Xia Zijin, took out a set of porcelain bowls made of emerald jade, took a piece of yokan with chopsticks Feed it to Xia Zijin's mouth.

Xia Zijin immediately opened his mouth, bit down, and narrowed his eyes.

The pastry is very refreshing. When you swallow it, the hot air rolls down your throat, and you feel warm all over your body.

The lower abdomen, which was aching because of menstruation, seemed to be better.Xia Shengqing saw that her complexion was getting better, she squinted her eyes and smiled, and added another piece to the bowl in front of her.

Xin'er stood by and waited on her. Seeing Xia Zijin and Xia Shengqing's affection, she pursed her lips and chuckled, "Princess, do you still drink this ginger soup?"

"No, you go and pour her down." Xia Zijin waved her hands quickly and stuck out her tongue.

Although this ginger soup is warming, it tastes too spicy, and even she doesn't want to try it a second time.So she took a sip and stopped drinking.

For this reason, Xin'er specially brought candied fruit over, hoping that if she was afraid of spicy food, she could eat a candied fruit to soothe the taste in her mouth.

But now, after Xia Zijin tasted the pastry made by Ming Shengdi, he wished that his mouth could be filled with the fragrance of the pastry, so naturally he didn't want to drink something as spicy as ginger soup.

Xin'er could only retreat with the ginger soup.Zhenwen was waiting at the door early in the morning, watched her come out, narrowed his eyes, and followed her.Xin'er realized that she was being followed, and immediately turned around and stared at him angrily, "What are you doing?"

Seeing her impatient expression, Zhenwen immediately showed a hurt expression, twitched the corners of his mouth, sighed, and left directly.

Xin'er was stunned immediately, looking at the direction in which he left without knowing why, pursed her lips, and frowned slightly.

After a while, she withdrew her thoughts, continued to carry the soup bowl to the kitchen, and told the cook to bring the pot of ginger soup.

When she came back, she saw Zhenwen lying on the window, her buttocks pouted, her eyes looking inside, as if she was listening to the corner of the wall.

Xin'er stepped forward angrily, and kicked his ass with her foot.Zhenwen had already noticed her coming, but he didn't expect Xin'er to give him a kick, so he immediately jumped up, covering his crotch almost reflexively.

Seeing his actions, Xin'er's face turned red, and she let out a "bah" angrily.Zhenwen immediately pouted his mouth aggrieved, and let go of his hand when the threat was lifted.

Xia Zijin sat opposite Xia Shengqing, and opened her mouth to let her feed herself pastries. She ate five yuan in a row, pressed her palm on her stomach, and couldn't help smiling bitterly, "Sheng Qing, I seem to have eaten too much. , I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat it.”

Seeing her playful look with her tongue sticking out, Xia Shengqing stretched out her finger and tapped her eyebrows, "Since you like it, after eating so much, you won't be able to eat dinner. If you get hungry in the middle of the night, I will go to the kitchen to give you some food for my husband." Make some pastries to fill your belly, and you rest."

Just for a while, although Xia Zijin tried her best to hide it, she couldn't help showing a tired look on her face.

Xia Zijin really felt tired, so she nodded immediately, and he helped her to lie back on the bed. Xia Shengqing tucked her in the quilt, watched her close her eyes and fell asleep, and then got up and opened the door to go out.

When I went out, I saw Zhenwen fighting with Xin'er, touched his chin unconsciously, coughed deliberately, the two people who were fighting came back to their senses in an instant, looked at each other quickly, and came forward to salute him.
