Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 542 The Little Princess Is Missing
Otherwise, the eunuch would never allow her to just read the memorial like this.Although Ming Shengdi fell ill and often fell asleep, it doesn't mean that he was not awake. If he knew about Xia Zijin's private memorial, he would never let her go.

And indeed, just as Yue Jing'an thought, there was a secret edict in Xia Zijin's sleeve at this moment. This secret edict was stuffed into the palm of her hand by Ming Shengdi when she learned that Ming Shengdi had fallen ill and came to see him. It was clearly stated on it. It is indeed marked that she is the regent and can act on behalf of the emperor.This handling of the memorial was also entrusted by Ming Shengdi himself.

All of this is the test of Ming Shengdi for her, and it is also trust.The prince is young, and Xia Qin is a cruel heart, if he is allowed to ascend the throne like this, Ming Shengdi is really worried.

With Xiaqin's suspicious nature, he might not wait for the other princes to grow up. If he felt threatened, he would strike without hesitation. Perhaps he would directly eradicate the threat before they grow up.Although Ming Shengdi himself was a conspiracy to rebel against the superior, he had no blood relationship with the former emperor, let alone experienced any struggle for the heir apparent, so his heart was soft after all.

If not, he would not have hesitated to face Xia Bin back then, but would have killed him directly.After all, he still has feelings for these princes of his, and he can't let them all die.

On the second day after Ming Shengdi fell ill, Xia Qin went to the palace to see him, but was stopped by the eunuch.He clenched his palms with an ugly expression, and through the half-open window, he happened to see the scene where Xia Zijin was feeding medicine to Ming Shengdi. He clenched his teeth angrily, and the killing intent towards Xia Zijin in his heart reached its peak.

So much so that he never entered the palace for the next few days, but conspired in the palace to quietly take Xia Zijin's life.

Of course, this is all for later.At this moment, Xia Zijin didn't know Xia Qin's hatred for her.She looked at Yue Jing'an and pursed her lips, "Concubine Lian, father is still asleep, if empress wants to talk to father, I'm afraid she will have to wait for a while."

She spoke politely, her face was calm, and she couldn't see any emotion at all.Yue Jing'an took a careful look at her, and couldn't help being secretly startled.At this moment, Xia Zijin looked like a generation of kings.

After a while, Yue Jing'an withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyes, and looked at the handkerchief in her hand, "I will be there in a while, Princess Pearl, don't worry."

Xia Zijin smiled, and winked at the maid standing beside her, and she immediately went to pour tea for Yue Jing'an.Every move is very natural and smooth, as if Xia Zijin has ordered countless times, and it seems that Xia Zijin is the master here.

Seeing this scene, Yue Jing'an was even more frightened. She glanced at the guards and maidservants in the room, seeing that they were respectful and not indignant. After pondering for a while, she suddenly stood up, "Princess Mingzhu, Since the emperor is asleep, I'd better go back first and come back when the emperor wakes up, just in time to make some appetizing desserts for the emperor, I heard that the emperor hasn't eaten much these days, it's not good."

There was timely worry on her face, if Xia Zijin hadn't known about her bloody feud, she would have thought that she really cared about Ming Shengdi.It can only be said that the women in this deep palace are all brilliant actors, one by one, they interpret their greed for power and wealth into love as deep as the sea.

Xia Zijin sneered, retracted her thoughts, nodded, and ordered the eunuch to send Yue Jing'an away.

In the evening, Ming Shengdi took the medicine and rested for half an hour before slowly opening his eyes, "Zi Jin, you have worked hard these few days, what's the matter in the court?"

"Father, my son is not working hard." Xia Zijin's eyes were reddish, clutching the handkerchief, the worry and reluctance on his face were very clear.

Ming Shengdi coughed, "Zi Jin, you go back, come back tomorrow, don't make yourself tired. I feel much better now."

After speaking a long paragraph at once, Ming Shengdi let out a series of coughs when he finished speaking.Xia Zijin quickly picked up the hot water that was prepared at the side, handed it to his mouth, and fed him to drink, "Father, please rest quickly, don't talk anymore."

Xia Zijin helped him to lie down, saw a sickly blush on his face, fell silent for a moment, then stood up and said goodbye.

Xia Shengqing waited for her at the gate of the palace as usual, when she came out with a sullen face and a preoccupied look, she opened her mouth to ask, but quickly shut it down.Now the only thing that can affect Xia Zijin's mind is Ming Shengdi's illness.

Although it shows that the Holy Emperor is a bit cold-blooded and ruthless towards her, but it is her biological father, blood is thicker than water, Xia Zijin can't help being sad, it is normal.Xia Shengqing hugged her into the carriage, and held her cold palm against his cheek.

The warm and soft touch immediately awakened Xia Zijin from her confusion. When she looked up, she saw the scene of Xia Shengqing covering her hands. Subconsciously, she was about to withdraw her palms, but he grabbed them even tighter.

"Zijin, don't move." Xia Shengqing held her palm and looked at her with a smile, "You are weak, so you can't freeze it. My husband has rough skin and thick flesh, and there is a lot of heat. Let me spend some time with you, and you go on." .”

Xia Zijin laughed dumbfounded, stopped struggling, and her confused heart became firm again.

However, just as she returned home, she saw Xin'er hurrying out of the house and bumped into her.Seeing her flustered face, Xia Zijin's heart sank immediately, "Xin'er, what happened?"

Xin'er bumped into someone and was about to apologize when she heard Xia Zijin's voice.She opened her mouth and was ready to say what happened, but for some reason, she couldn't utter a word, as if her throat was pinched.

She really didn't want to see Xia Zijin's sad expression again.Seeing her hesitating and indecisive look, Xia Zijin frowned into a pimple, his complexion sank, he raised his voice, and yelled, "Say!"

Xin'er trembled, looking at Xia Zijin's expression was tinged with worry and pity, "Princess, the little princess is gone."

Xia Zijin was taken aback, but when she realized it, her whole body was full of evil spirits, and her eyes stared at her motionlessly, "What do you mean by missing? Where is the nanny who is in charge of taking care of the little princess? Bring me to see this princess!"

She knew that because she was deeply trusted by Ming Shengdi and had a great reputation, many people secretly wanted to put her to death, but she was not afraid of these.But she never expected that those people would target her daughter.

Xiaokui died, this is Xiaokui's life in exchange for my child, there must be no accidents.Xia Zijin's sharp nails dug into the palm of his hand, bringing out bloodstains, and the blood seeped out along the gaps between his fingers and fell to the ground.

Soon, the nanny who was in charge of taking care of the little princess was brought in. As soon as she approached, she felt the chill radiating from Xia Zijin's body, and cold sweat burst out from her forehead. Pass the princess."

Look at the terrified woman on her face, obviously terrified.Xia Zijin's chest immediately seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.Xia Zijin sat on the chair, suppressing the worry and irritability in her heart, "My princess asks you, where is the little princess?"

The mother-in-law rehearsed the scene of Xia Zijin interrogating her in her mind over and over again the second the child disappeared, but at this moment, she was really on the scene, facing Xia Zijin's interrogation, and she still couldn't help her legs trembling, unable to stop trembling, "Slave... I really don't know, I just got out of the house when I was knocked out, and when I woke up, the little gentleman disappeared."

Originally called to take care of the little princess, the mother-in-law was contented for a while. No one in this house knows that Xia Zijin attaches great importance to the little princess. Although she is an adopted daughter, she still occupies the status of the eldest daughter. The princess of the classics.

She is the nanny of the little princess. When the little princess grows up in the future, her status will naturally rise with the tide.So when this job fell on her head, she was still happy for a while.

She didn't expect such a thing to happen. She couldn't even save her life.Thinking of this, the mother-in-law was so frightened that she pooped out and kowtowed, "Princess, please forgive me. This servant really didn't expect... and begs the princess to spare her life!"

A foul smell immediately spread in the room, Xia Zijin couldn't help covering her mouth and nose, and looked at her in disgust.The mother-in-law didn't realize it, and kowtowed so hard that her head was broken.Xia Zijin looked at the gash on her forehead and rubbed the center of her brows, "Get up now, for this matter, death is inevitable, but life is inevitable!"

If it is true what the mother-in-law said, that person took away the child so easily, there must be an inner ghost in the mansion.And the other party took the child away to threaten her, so she just needs to wait quietly, and the other party will definitely send her a message.

But it is also a fact that the mother-in-law is not good at taking care of the children, so she cannot be forgiven so easily.Even so, the mother-in-law was already tearful and thanked her quickly.Xia Zijin clapped her hands, and the guards outside immediately came in and dragged her out.

As for Xin'er, she hurriedly asked the servant girl to come in and clean the floor, so as not to spread the smell.

Xia Shengqing looked at her with a tired face, and hugged her distressedly, "Zi Jin, don't worry, the other party has taken the child away, and he must have a plan. We just have to wait, he will always show his feet. When the time comes , and then find a way to snatch the child back, but before that, you can't startle the snake."

Xia Zijin was the only one who opposed Xia Zijin in the Beijing Central Association, and he might have done it, but he still couldn't act rashly until he was sure.Xia Shengqing quickly sent a message to He Yuanren, asking him to investigate carefully to see what happened to Xia Qin in recent days.

As for Lin Runyu's side, Bai Pingting soon sent news that she didn't see any children.In this way, the target is all on the Prince's Mansion.While the Qingheyuan people were still investigating, a letter was handed over to Xia Zijin.

Xia Zijin looked at the writing on it, her eyes fixed, and she couldn't wait to open it to me to see the contents clearly, gritted her teeth and sneered, and raised her hand to tear the letter into pieces, "Xin'er, change the clothes for this princess!
