Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 540 Adoption
Xia Zijin raised her head and covered her chest with one hand, "Sheng Qing, I always feel that something bad is about to happen, and I feel very flustered."

"It's because you've been too tired these days, so you're thinking about it." Xia Shengqing stroked her back, "Don't think about it, there's nothing wrong with it, the emperor trusts you very much. Even if someone is jealous of you and wants to harm you, you have to pass the test of being a husband."

Hearing what he said, Xia Zijin nodded, suppressing the churning emotions in his heart, but for some reason, his mood was tense.

Ah Wei carried Xiao Kui back to the room where the two lived, and fetched water for her to wash her body. The eight-foot-tall man cried like a child. The nanny looked at him like this and knew that he had lost his beloved wife and was short-lived. Time, I am afraid that there is no way to take care of the child, so I can only leave with the child.

On the second day, Ah Wei reluctantly cremated his ashes, and then went to ask Xia Qixuan for leave, and took the child to the capital. He only said that Xiaokui remembered Xia Zijin before he died, and he always asked her to go home and have a look, before going to the capital. Let her rest in peace.

When Ah Wei traveled all the way to the capital and begged to see Xia Zijin, Xia Zijin couldn't help being surprised when he saw him, and looked behind him unconsciously, seeing him coming with a child in his arms, his brows frowned involuntarily.

"You are..." Xia Zijin's eyes fell on the child, and the panic that suddenly came to her heart half a month ago surged up again at this moment, spreading all over her body, making her feel cold all over, as if Something very bad is going to happen.

Calculated according to the time of Xiaokui's pregnancy, there are still nearly two months before she gives birth. If this child is Xiaokui's...

Thinking of this possibility, Xia Zijin clenched his palms tightly, his gaze slashing across Asahi's face like a knife.

Before Ah Wei came here, he had rehearsed countless times how Xia Zijin would react. If Xia Zijin asked him to pay for Xiaokui's life in a fit of anger, he would be willing. He was the one who swore in front of Xia Zijin that he would take good care of Xiaokui. But now what he brings back is the ashes.

With trembling hands, he opened the package that he had been holding in his arms.Xia Zijin's eyes were sharp, and he saw the urn wrapped in the ashes at once, and immediately took a step back, staggering, still standing still with his palms on the table, wishing to immediately cover Wei's mouth to prevent him from continuing.

Asa Wei looked at the ashes in front of him, his eyes were cautious and full of love.This sight made Xia Zijin feel suffocated and even more frightened.Just when she couldn't help screaming and wanted to tell him to shut up, Ah Wei said in a tone that could not be refused: "Princess, these are Xiaokui's ashes. The subordinates will come and take her home."

He closed his eyes, his lips were trembling uncontrollably, so that his voice trembled a little.Xia Zijin swayed and almost fainted.Before her eyes unconsciously appeared the appearance of Xiao Kui who died tragically covered in blood in order to protect her in her previous life.

Seeing her pale as snow, Xia Shengqing immediately stepped forward to hug her.His eyes were full of distress, but he couldn't speak to comfort her.

Because Xiaokui has a special meaning to her, even he can't make her ignore it.In the previous life, he knew about Xiaokui's death to save her, so how could he be so cruel that Xia Zijin didn't care.

Therefore, he could only sigh silently, and hugged Xia Zijin tightly.It took a long time for Xia Zijin to recover, and his eyes fell on him again. After looking at him for a long time, there was a wry smile on his face, "It's not just that you came here."

"Yes." A resolute expression appeared on Awei's face, and he looked down at the child in his arms with infinite attachment in his eyes, but finally he raised his head and looked at Xia Zijin seriously, "I would like to ask the princess to act on my behalf." The subordinates will take care of the child."

"Xiaokui's daughter, the princess has to take care of it. But, why?" Xiaokui had written to her before, and everything was fine. Why did she suddenly give birth prematurely without warning, and the child was only half a month old, and Ah Wei hurriedly delivered her to her? Come on, if it is said that there is nothing tricky about this matter, she won't believe it!

Facing Xia Zijin's scrutinizing gaze, Asa Wei gritted his teeth, showing a look of ferocity on his face, "I suspect that someone did this on purpose! Before Xiaokui left, she told the princess to be careful."

He locked himself in the room and thought about it for three days and three nights before he could figure it out.He must go back and investigate clearly so that he can feel at ease, and he must not let Xiaokui die in such an unexplained manner.

Asa Wei gritted his teeth, clenched his fists involuntarily, and showed a stern look on his usually simple and honest face.

Seeing him like this, Xia Zijin stretched out his hand to take the child, lowered his eyes, and his voice was like deep ice in an ancient well, "If you find out that this was done by Xia Qixuan, what should you do?"

Xia Qixuan is probably the only one who can play tricks in the emperor's grandson's mansion.If Xiaokui had said that, no one would doubt her.It is true that this world exists in the emperor's grandson's mansion, and there is no one who wants to harm her except Xia Qixuan.

Xia Zijin snorted involuntarily, with a sharp light in his eyes.A Wei was shocked, and remained silent for a long time, with a bitter face, but a very firm expression, "Then this subordinate will personally avenge Xiao Kui!"

A Wei is not a fool, he can more or less feel the change in Xia Shengqing's attitude towards him.

Xia Zijin stared at him for a long while, and after making sure that he was not lying, he waved him away wearily.

Waiting for him to go out, she couldn't help crying, she burst into tears instantly, looked up at Xia Shengqing, her face was full of helplessness, "Sheng Qing, Xiaokui is dead, what should I do?"

It was the first time Xia Shengqing saw her look like she was about to die at any moment, his heart felt as if he had been stabbed by a sword, the pain was so painful that he was dripping with blood, and he hugged her tightly in his arms almost subconsciously, for fear that she would die leave here.

Xia Zijin hugged the child, huddled in his arms, and closed his eyes tiredly. After a while, he opened his eyes again and looked at Xin'er, who was also looking at him with worried eyes, "Xin'er, send the child Hold it down and find the best nanny. In the future, this child will be the daughter of this princess."

Xin'er carried the child down immediately, Xia Zijin rubbed the center of her brows, let Xia Shengqing wipe away her tears, took a deep breath, and wiped off the sorrow on her face, "Sheng Qing, prepare the horse, I want to enter A trip to the palace."

She wanted to officially record this child in her own name, lest Ah Wei would be made things difficult by Xia Qixuan after he returned.

The carriage was soon ready, and Xia Zijin clasped her hands all the way, and various thoughts ran through her mind. If she hadn't been rational, she would have wanted to kill Xia Qixuan directly to avenge Xiaokui.As long as there is doubt, even if it is a wrongful killing, she doesn't want to let the person who killed Xiaokui live another day.

But fortunately, she controlled her temper.Ming Shengdi was quite surprised when he heard that she asked to see her. He waited for her to come in and asked to record Xiaokui's child in his name, and when he explained the reason, Ming Shengdi frowned involuntarily, "Zijin, do you know this It’s no small matter to register your name.”

If the name is recorded on the royal family tree, this child is a veritable princess, and no one can deny it.It would be fine to say that her biological mother was honorable, but her biological mother was just a palace maid, and with such a status, it was really a little shameful.

Xia Zijin looked at Ming Shengdi with a firm expression, and knelt on the ground with a "plop", "Father, I am destined to have no children and no daughters in my life. Just like sisters, now that she died in childbirth, I have adopted her child, which not only fulfills the sisterhood, but also makes up for the regret that I have no children, please give permission from the emperor."

When Ming Shengdi heard what she said, he immediately remembered that Xia Shengqing was an eunuch. In this way, Xia Zijin really couldn't have children of his own.As a result, his heart was shaken, and seeing Xia Zijin looking at him eagerly, he finally nodded in agreement, "Okay, it's up to you."

Xia Zijin quickly bowed his head to thank him.Ming Shengdi kept her talking for a while, then let her go.

After going back, Ah Wei had already left, Xia Zijin didn't think much about it, but Yue Jing'an was slightly displeased when she learned that she had adopted the maidservant's child, because the Xia Shengqing she knew was not a real eunuch, Xia Zijin There will always be births in the future.

This child took the name of the eldest son, but luckily it was a girl.Thinking of this, Yue Jing'an felt a little relieved.

Ming Shengdi's imperial decree came down soon, and Xia Qixuan learned that Xia Zijin was forced to stay by the child. Although he was a little displeased, his face was still kind and he couldn't see anything.As for Awei, although he had doubts in his heart, he was still loyal on the surface, just investigating secretly.

Huang Chenyan came here specially on the day when the child was bestowed. After learning about Xiaokui, he sighed for a while, then patted Xia Zijin on the shoulder, comforted her carefully, and suddenly covered his mouth in a disgusted manner. He brought a cup of tea and handed it to her, and she felt better after drinking it.

It was rare to come to Xia Zijin's place, and she still felt uncomfortable. Huang Chenyan smiled apologetically, and got up to leave. Looking at the back of her leaving in a hurry, Xia Zijin's eyes involuntarily flashed a light when thinking of her before .

Rong Yu stayed in the house in the east of the city these days to appease Wei Ying. Wei Ying knew that he didn't want to see her, so she tried her best to keep him. She only said that if he was alone with her for a month, she still couldn't like it. She, she left by herself.

Seeing that the time was up, Wei Ying couldn't help being anxious, and was thinking of some way to keep him, when the dark guard whispered something in his ear, his expression changed drastically, and he walked straight out of the mansion.

Wei Ying frowned slowly, hesitated for a moment, and sneaked out after her.And as soon as she went out, the spies sent by Wei Yuan on the street took a good look at her. Although she was dressed in men's clothing, her facial features were too similar to Wei Yuan's.

These hidden guards had been following Wei Yuan's orders for a long time, so they could see clearly, sneaked behind her, and watched her enter the consort's mansion, they couldn't help but look at each other, one of them immediately went back to report the letter, and the other stood guard at the gate of the mansion.
