Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 539
Seeing her reminding himself to remember the merits, Ming Shengdi laughed involuntarily, put his fingers on the table on his knees, his tiger eyes fell on her, and flashed, "Zi Jin, let me ask you, what do you think?" , among my many princes, which one is worthy of the important task?"

"Father." Xia Zijin looked at him in amazement, seeing that there was no temptation in his eyes, and there was never-before-seen weariness on his old face. Xia Zijin couldn't help lowering his head, pondered for a moment, then raised his head, "Prince He is good at planning and employing people, but he lacks the heart of benevolence. If the world is handed over to him, I am afraid that Da Lai will not be able to satisfy his ambition. The eldest grandson of the emperor is gentle, but lacks intelligence and is quite deadly, so he is not suitable."

Xia Zijin shook her head as she spoke, with a sad look on her face, "The other princes are either young or their mothers are weak, so they are really not enough to convince the public."

What she said was exactly what Ming Shengdi was worried about. These days, he felt more and more powerless, so he delegated power and asked Xia Zijin to assist him in handling government affairs.Xia Qin's father-killing heart, if the throne is just passed on to him, not to mention he is not reconciled, but judging from his violent temper, he is afraid that the country that has been defeated with great difficulty will be in turmoil again in his hands.

At this moment, seeing Xia Zijin's logical analysis, Ming Shengdi's eyes fell on her tightly, hoping that she could come up with a solution.Xia Zijin seemed to be aware of his gaze, and suddenly raised his head, "Father, why don't you appoint a regent and give him a dragon whip. If the new emperor is not benevolent, you can depose Xinli."

"It's just that the regent can't have anything to do with any prince, and he has to be powerful enough. Otherwise, I'm afraid he will die before the imperial decree is issued." Xia Zijin pursed her lips and spit out the next words.

Ming Shengdi's eyes suddenly lit up at this remark, and he immediately clapped his hands, "It's so good."

Xia Zijin smiled with eyebrows bent, and then a sad look appeared on his face, "Father, you are still strong, why did you say something about the new emperor so early, it is really unlucky."

Ming Shengdi looked at her big watery eyes that seemed to be foggy, and his heart suddenly softened, "Zi Jin, why don't I appoint you as the regent?"

"Father, don't be joking. You are already risking the world's disgrace by allowing your son to participate in politics. Now you want to make your son the regent. It is inappropriate." Xia Zijin was stunned for a second and then waved his hands again and again.

Ming Shengdi chuckled, and didn't continue to entangle on this topic, but this thought left seeds in his heart, taking root and sprouting from time to time.

This joke quickly reached Yue Jing'an's ears.Yue Jing'an paused for peeling the walnut, then unconsciously put down the pliers in her hand, and looked at the maidservant who came forward to report, "Are you serious?"

"There is absolutely no falsehood in what this servant girl said." This maidservant had been serving in the imperial study earlier, and she could hear it clearly, but now her expression was firm, and she almost swore an oath.

Qinglian couldn't help laughing, with a hint of admiration in her eyes, "Go ahead."

And this news spread to the ears of the princes very quickly, so fast that people had to suspect that Emperor Ming Sheng did it on purpose.Xia Zijin suddenly became the target of public criticism.Xia Shengqing was afraid that she would be hurt in the slightest, so she couldn't help but secretly blame Ming Shengdi.

In the hall, Xia Tian looked at her frequently, wishing to eat her flesh raw.After thinking about it for a while, Xia Zijin shook her head secretly and scolded an idiot.This news must have been released on purpose by Ming Shengdi, just to test their actions. Xia Qin is so unconcealed in his emotions, I am afraid that Ming Shengdi will be disappointed.

She looked up, and sure enough, she saw Ming Shengdi frowning slightly at Xia Qin, but Xia Qin didn't notice it.

Xia Qixuan, who was far away in a remote area, received a report from Beijing, and with a flick of his palm, a fiery light appeared in his eyes.He remembered clearly Xia Zijin's assassination of Xia Zijin before, and Xia Zijin was determined not to let Xia Ziqin take the throne.

Although he was vaguely aware of some of Xia Zijin's ambitions, it was tantamount to a dream for a woman to ascend to the throne, and when she suffered, she would naturally come to beg him.

Thinking in this way, Xia Qixuan clapped his hands, and a figure suddenly appeared in the room, "This subordinate has seen the eldest grandson of the emperor."

"You go to the capital to watch, and find a way to sneak into the princess mansion. If the emperor really grants the imperial edict in the future, find a way to get the imperial edict, and..." Xia Qixuan didn't say anything after that, and raised his hand to wipe it on his neck. , showing cruelty on his face.

Xiaokui who was standing outside just heard this sentence, she couldn't help but exclaimed, and immediately felt bad, and wanted to run away.She came here today to beg Xia Qixuan to allow her to return to Beijing to wait for the delivery. She didn't expect to hear such a passage, and she was full of panic for a while, worried that Xia Zijin would be hurt by him, so she panicked and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

After hearing the voice from outside, Xia Qixuan yelled, "Who?"

After receiving his cue, the dark guard immediately rushed out like a gust of wind, and then saw Xiaokui who fell to the ground with a painful and frightened face, stepped forward to hold her down, and then saw a large pool of blood flowing from her body .

When Xia Qixuan pushed open the room, he happened to see this scene. Thinking of Xia Zijin's stern words when he took Awei to the princess mansion to ask for marriage, he immediately knew how important this maid was to her, so Xiaokui couldn't die now.

When she heard those words again, Xia Qixuan clenched his palms tightly, his expression flickering.Xiaokui only felt pain in her lower body, and her heart was full of panic, so she couldn't help asking for help, "Save my child, save my child..."

Seeing this, Xia Qixuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded to the annoyed guard, who gritted his teeth, and slashed her neck with a knife, Xiao Kui immediately fainted.

Xia Qixuan beckoned, and the woman guarding the courtyard rushed over. Seeing this scene, she was shocked. Xia Qixuan yelled and looked anxious, "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you lift him up quickly?" Go to the king's room, and hurry up and ask Mrs. Wen to come."

When Ah Weishou heard the news, he heard shrill screams from the room. He always felt sorry for Xiao Kui, and was about to rush in. Xia Qixuan went to stop him in person, "Nonsense, the girl is giving birth, you go in and do it!" What! Don't mess with Xiaokui's mind!"

Hearing his words, Ah Wei stopped involuntarily, his eyes were red, his fists were clenched tightly, and he looked into the room without blinking, listening to the shouts coming from inside, his heart felt like a knife was twisted .

In the same way, Xia Qixuan was more anxious than him. After waiting for five hours, there was a cry of a baby inside. Madam is bleeding heavily, hurry up, stop the bleeding!"

When Ah Wei heard this, he couldn't help it, and rushed in like a lion, and saw Xiaokui lying on the bed dying, and rushed over to hug her, but he didn't dare to move. she.

Xia Qixuan immediately said, "Quick, get the ginseng piece!"

After Wen Po stuffed the ginseng slices into Xiaokui's mouth, Xiaokui opened her eyes slightly, saw Dawei, and immediately thought of the child, "My... where is my child?"

Mrs. Wen hurriedly carried the child over, and Xiaokui showed a reassuring smile.Seeing her expression on the verge of death, Ah Wei couldn't help but her eyes turned red, and he held her raised palm, "Xiaokui..."

Xiaokui seemed to want to reach out to wipe away the tears falling from his face, but she lowered her hand before reaching it, and only spit out a sentence intermittently, "Tell the princess... Be... Be careful..."

Asa Wei was listening to her, the words suddenly broke off, he couldn't help holding Xiaokui's palm hard, and immediately burst into tears, "Xiaokui, Xiaokui!"

The woman on the side couldn't help but sighed, just as she was about to speak, she saw Ah Wei get up suddenly, her hands were like iron clamps pinching her shoulders tightly, "How could this happen, how could this happen!"

"Uncle, Ma'am, she was born prematurely, and she fell down earlier, so she showed signs of a slippery tire. The villain really tried her best." Wen Po was panicked, and looked at Xiaokui with a little pity in her eyes And a trace of unappreciable complexity.

Ah Wei couldn't help raising his head and laughing, staggered back a step, went forward to pick up Xiaokui, the maid hurriedly wrapped up the child and followed behind him.

When I went out, I saw Xia Qixuan standing outside the door, and Ah Wei's mind, which had become chaotic due to sadness, became a little clearer, "Please allow your Highness to deal with Xiaokui's affairs for a few days, and then come to the mansion to guard."

Xia Qixuan moved his mouth, and finally sighed, "Go ahead."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Asa Wei's tone was a little blunt, it was obvious that Xiao Kui had an accident in his yard, and Asa Wei felt somewhat resentful in his heart.

Xia Qixuan was well aware of this, but it was much better than Xiaokui telling what he heard.

Waiting for Ah Wei's voice to disappear completely, Xia Qixuan turned around, looked at Wen Po who stepped out of the room with her head bowed, and handed her an ingot of gold from her sleeve, "You did a good job on this matter."

Wen Po couldn't help but feel that the gold was a bit hot, but the power of the person in front of her was not something she could refuse.That woman somehow offended the woman in front of her, and she deliberately asked her to do something during childbirth, so that she would burst into blood and die.

This fact is... Wen Po closed her eyes, suppressed the guilt in her heart, and said that she was only following orders, so she put the gold into her sleeve with her backhand, got up and left.

Looking at the back of her leaving, Xia Qixuan's eyes flashed murderous, "Go, follow her, deal with it."

He never believed in keeping secrets. Only the dead can't speak, so he can only say that this woman is unlucky.

And Xia Zijin, who was far away in the capital, suddenly had a heart beating wildly at the moment when Xiaokui's soul was broken, as if something was about to happen, so that the strength in her hand increased involuntarily, the tip of the pen penetrated the paper all of a sudden, and the ink was blurred. Come.

Xia Shengqing pushed the door open and came in, seeing her restless look, frowned slightly, stepped forward, and took her into her arms, "Zijin, what's wrong with you?"
