Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 557 Release
"The old minister thinks that Concubine Lian agreed to be suspected of murdering the late emperor." The prime minister took a deep breath, spit out the words he was holding in his heart, and fixedly looked at Xia Zijin, waiting for her reply.

Xia Zijin sneered, "Grandpa, do you know that framing the concubine is a capital crime, since you all said so, come here, go invite the concubine, and see what the concubine has to say."

Yue Jing'an was rushing this way, but on the way, she ran into the bodyguard sent by Xia Zijin to invite her, and when she learned that the eunuch had changed her tone and said something ambiguous, she couldn't help frowning, snorted coldly, and sat on the palanquin to drive her all the way. When she came to the gate of the palace and saw the prime minister standing outside aggressively, she raised her hand to signal the eunuch who raised her foot to put down the sedan chair, and was supported by the maidservant to walk down.

Xia Zijin saluted very politely, and repeated what the prime minister had just said word for word.Yue Jing'an gave the prime minister a sharp look, his gaze was like a knife, it hurt his face.She caressed the gilt armor she was wearing on her fingers, her expression returned to normal, and she couldn't see the slightest emotion, "Just because of these clowns, the prime minister spread these words all over the city, Aijia is really an eye-opener !"

She suddenly raised her voice and glared at the prime minister angrily, as if waiting for him to explain, a strong sense of oppression hit his face in an instant.The prime minister unconsciously lowered his head under this coercion, and felt ashamed again. He suddenly raised his head, looked at her with a complicated expression, and took a deep breath, "Mrs. No one knows what's going on, it's just your suspicion, but it's not clear."

Xia Zijin pursed her lips, "What does the prime minister think? Lock it up for the concubine?"

"The old minister dare not." The prime minister showed a look of sincerity and fear, and there was no trace of arrogance that had just torn his face, "The old minister privately thinks that since the matter has not been investigated clearly, it is really rash to put the prince in prison like this. What does the Empress Dowager think?"

Seeing him going around in so many circles, and finally getting to the point, Xia Zijin slowly raised the corners of his lips, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "The prime minister wanted to intercede for the prince?"

Facing her half-smiling eyes, the Prime Minister's breath was stagnant, and the sweat from his temples was streaming down his cheeks.Xia Zijin suddenly put away his expression and smiled slightly, "It's not completely unreasonable what the Prime Minister said. In this case, come, come, go to the prison and release the prince, just to clear his suspicion, he can't go anywhere , stay in the Prince's Mansion, and you are not allowed to step out of half a step."

"As for you..." Xia Zijin shifted her gaze to the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and sneered, "If a person opens his mouth, this princess really doesn't know who to trust. Detain them all, remove the commander, and choose someone else."

Xia Zijin looked at the prime minister who was obviously relieved, raised the corners of his lips, and uttered words that made him feel heartbroken as if he had been struck by lightning, "Just getting involved in such a thing, after all, is the prince's lack of virtue? Tell the princess to assist in handling state affairs, the prince is really not suitable to be this prince now, pass on the princess's decree, abolish the crown prince, and put him under house arrest until his innocence is proved."

The words were swift and resolute, and the guards behind her went to do it immediately. The prime minister deliberately protested, met Xia Zijin's cold eyes, and shut up unconsciously. After weighing it in his heart, he still chose to give up.

It is not easy to push Xia Zijin to this point. If he continues to entangle, some accidents may happen. If this is the case, it is better to endure it for the time being.The green hills left behind are not afraid of lack of firewood.

Now that the matter has been finished, there is no need for the prime minister to stay at the gate of the palace any longer. He stood up again and left with the civil servants standing behind him.Watching them leave, Xia Zijin involuntarily rubbed the space between her brows, and with a sway of her body, Xin'er quickly supported her.

With such a big incident here, Xia Qixuan also received the news that Xia Qin had returned to his mansion, and punched the table in hatred.I didn't expect that this would give him a chance to turn things around, and it really pissed him off. After a long time, Xia Qixuan calmed down, sat down slowly, and rethought his countermeasures.

It is an unchangeable fact that the commander of the Imperial Forest Army accepted bribes. Lin Runyu wanted to protect her, but changed her mind after meeting Xia Zijin. At this moment, Xia Zijin was sitting opposite him, holding a teacup, drinking slowly, "My lord Are you blaming this princess for glaring at me like this?"

"Xia Zijin, you know that he belongs to my son, yet you even sent people to search the mansion." Lin Runyu spent a lot of effort to train him to be the commander of the imperial forest army without telling everyone. So ruined by Xia Zijin.He was naturally angry.

Seeing the look in his eyes that wanted to vent his anger by eating himself, Xia Zijin put down the teacup, took out the handkerchief disapprovingly, and pressed the corner of his mouth, "Do you still have the face to question this princess?"

"It's too wasteful for such an idiot who can't even manage his own subordinates well, and can't even hide the jewels in the house, to treat him so sincerely." Xia Zijin made no secret of her contempt for the commander of the Imperial Forest Army , "It was on such an occasion that the princess couldn't step down. Speaking of which, the princess hasn't settled this account with you yet."

She put away the veil for a moment, and clenched the palm holding the cup tightly for a moment, a cold air appeared in her eyes.

Lin Runyu was going to blame her at first, but thinking of so many people this morning, she really couldn't ask the guards to release water in front of everyone, so she could only sigh.In the end, I can only blame the commander of the Imperial Forest Army for his bad luck.

As for being a slave, offending him and finally persuading his allies to cooperate with him, Lin Runyu rejected the idea without even thinking about it.Unfortunately, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army is still waiting for Lin Runyu to find a way to save him, but unfortunately, after waiting for two days, there is no news at all.

It was not until the evening of the third day that I heard footsteps slowly coming from the corridor outside.The commander of the Royal Forest Army looked up hopefully, and saw a person whose whole body was hidden in a cloak walking slowly.

His heart was pounding, he subconsciously took a step back, and looked at the person vigilantly, "Who are you?"

A crisp female voice came from under the hood, "You go out first, I have something to tell him, and I will go out in a while."

The jailer opened the cell door, and respectfully invited her in. He listened to her orders, turned around and left without saying a word.She just took off the cloak on her head, looked at the commander of the imperial forest army, saw his eyeballs rolling wildly, and sneered, "Don't even think about taking the slaves out, commander, there are princesses in the dark outside, if you do it without authorization, the slaves will not Make sure you're still alive."

With a flip of her wrist, she took out a box and threw it at him, "This is a fake death medicine. On the side of Shizi Lin, the slave girl advised the commander to give up his heart. The son has already told the princess, and you will be handed over to the princess." The princess disposes."

"What does Princess Mingzhu want?" Although he had already been mentally prepared and knew that he would be abandoned in all likelihood, when he heard the news, he still couldn't help but feel a tingling pain in his heart.

Xin'er giggled, "The princess knew that you belonged to the prince, but you were too careless to hide those things so lightly. Even if the princess wants to spare you now, it depends on the prime minister." Do you agree or not. The princess took great pains to get the medicine. If you believe the princess, you will take the medicine and escape while the body is being carried to the suburbs for throwing away. As for the prince, you should not go."

These words were told to her one by one by Xia Zijin before she came.She recited it over and over again in her heart, and now she said it without a moment's pause.The commander of the Imperial Forest Army frowned, looked at the box in his hand, hesitated for a moment, put the box away, and clasped his fist at Xin'er, "Please thank Miss Xin'er for your kindness on behalf of the officer after returning."

The grace of saving lives should be repaid by springs.Xia Zijin would never save his life for no reason. Since he accepted it, he would have to pay it back in the future, but he didn't know what it would be.Watching Xin'er go back with her waist twisted, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army frowned, thinking carefully about the way ahead.

After returning to the mansion, Xin'er told the general about the scene after meeting with the commander of the Imperial Forest Army.Xia Zijin was not surprised. One person was loyal to another person for the sake of fame or profit, but if these things were compared with his own life, it was nothing important.Because the commander of the imperial forest army would choose this way, it is not surprising at all.

Since Ming Shengdi had already been buried, all imperial censors demanded that the new emperor ascend the throne.If Xia Qin is still the crown prince, he will naturally be the new emperor, but he was involved in the murder of Emperor Ming Sheng. No matter what the truth is, he is no longer the crown prince. Ascending to the throne is as difficult as ascending to the sky.

Xia Qin himself knew this very well.Therefore, Xia Qixuan shouted loudly outside, he threw the cup on the table to the ground angrily, and stood behind him, the maid who pinched his shoulders trembled and turned pale.

Xia Zijin looked back with a gloomy expression, and saw her cowering, burning with anger, grabbed her by the hair, pulled her to him, and roared with a ferocious expression: "What? Are you so disgusted?"

The maid frowned in pain, but she didn't dare to cry out, and endured it forcefully.Looking at her like this, Xia Qin couldn't vent the anger in his chest, pulled her hair with his backhand, and slammed into the table.

"Your Highness, please spare me! I don't dare, I don't dare!" The pain from her forehead hitting the corner of the table made the maid hurriedly beg for mercy, with a faint cry in her voice.When the Crown Princess came over, she saw his furious look, she immediately turned her head, and looked sternly at the maid who came in with her.

The maid immediately withdrew wisely, and before leaving the door, she glanced worriedly at the Crown Princess, for fear that Xia Tian would hurt her.
