Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 563
"I've wronged you. When things are done, this princess will keep her promise, make you the eldest princess of Dalai, and do what you want." Xia Zijin closed the tea cover, her face expressionless. He spit out these words with a change of expression, without any regard for how much disturbance it would cause if it was heard by others.

Wei Yuan accepted it with peace of mind, as she and Xia Zijin had agreed earlier.It was originally part of the plan to go to the Golden Temple to withdraw the engagement.It's just that only she and Xia Zijin knew about this matter, even Qingyun, she didn't tell.The reason she went back to the second prince's mansion was to use this matter to convince Xia Qin that she had fallen out with Xia Zijin.

Originally, she didn't plan to bring Qingyun there, but because Qingyun was stubborn, she worried that it would be dangerous for her to go alone, so she insisted on going there with her, but she didn't expect such a change.Wei Yuan couldn't help showing a worried look on her face.

Xia Zijin put down the teacup, looked at her frowning, and waved her five fingers in front of her eyes, "What is Princess Heshuo thinking? Is it because the conditions offered by this princess are not good enough?" satisfy?"

There was a hint of probing in her tone, self-knowledge is the most important thing in being a human being, and she climbed to this position step by step, not relying on a little cleverness, it was all because of her fighting for her life.What Princess Heshuo seeks is stability and staying with her sweetheart, so she can only choose what is appropriate for the rich and powerful. Under the monstrous wealth, there are often murderous intentions hidden.

If Wei Yuan becomes greedy for power, then she will have to reconsider this deal.

When Wei Yuan came back to her senses, she saw her crooked eyebrows, looking at her like a Maitreya Buddha. Although she was smiling, there was a stern light in her eyes from time to time, obviously suspicious of her.Fortunately, what she just thought about was not something that she couldn't open her mouth, so it's okay to say it to dispel Xia Zijin's doubts.

What's more, she didn't trust Xia Qin very much. Qingyun was injured because of her. In the final analysis, she was involved in the plan of the two of them. Yun's body should recover faster.

Thinking in this way, Wei Yuan took advantage of the situation and said, "Princess Mingzhu, I do have something to tell the princess when I come this time, but I am a little ashamed, so I just thought about it, but unfortunately I still can't find it." Open your mouth in an appropriate way."

"What's the matter, you just say it's okay." Seeing her face blushing a little while she was talking, Xia Zijin couldn't help being puzzled, her eyebrows furrowed a little bit, and she stared at her with interest.

Wei Yuan showed embarrassment, "Since I came here with a dowry, ten carts of gold, silver and jewelry, but when I married into the prince's mansion, it had already been included in the silver treasury for five carts, and the rest of the palace had previously built a house. I even bought a few shops, originally thinking that if the second prince dies in prison, I will slowly make money from these ground shops and live a better life."

"But now, the second prince is still alive, and I have been asking for the five carts of dowry many times without success. If I guess correctly, I'm afraid it has been embezzled by him privately. Now I have returned to the second prince's mansion. All the servants have to be taken care of, Qing Yun received a slap from Xia Qin abruptly yesterday, and she is still in a daze. Therefore, I wonder if Princess Mingzhu will generously donate?"

It was the first time Wei Yuan asked someone to borrow money, and after talking a lot, her cheeks were already red and frighteningly hot.Xia Zijin was stunned on the seat, her fingers unconsciously grabbed the pine nuts on the table, put them down and grabbed them, as if she was struggling with what she said.

After a while, Xia Zijin was sure that Wei Yuan was really asking herself for money.Of course, she still noticed the last sentence, and immediately put down the pine nuts, and took out a box from the cabinet. Inside was a glazed butterfly jade hairpin, "This jade hairpin was given to the princess by the emperor before, and I don't need it now. Well, it’s better to borrow you first and exchange some envoys for silver. And these, I wonder if Princess Heshuo can sell it for me? It’s just that Princess Heshuo has to carefully consider the price.”

All she used was official money, and the money from Shen Yue had already been invested in Rong Yu's army, so she couldn't take any of it out.Now, she herself is a bit stretched, and the only valuables are probably these jewelry.However, most of her jewelry are gifts from the palace and cannot be sold, and only so much can be turned into silver. As for this hairpin, although it is also a reward, it is not engraved with official patterns, so it cannot be regarded as a palace item. It's no big deal if you sell it.

Wei Yuan gave her a strange look, then took a deep breath, took the hairpin and put it in her arms, "Thank you."

This sentence was her kindness to thank Xia Zijin.If Xia Zijin took out the silver and gave it to her directly, it would have the intention of giving alms, but it would be much gentler.Xia Zijin nodded, the Shen family is not in the business of jewelry, otherwise, she can hand over these things to Shen Li for disposal.Now it's a good time to be a favor, so this hairpin is equivalent to selling these hairpins to Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan naturally sensed her exquisite heart, and took a deep look at her, "Xia Qin asked me to come to you to steal Ming Shengdi's edict, but if this edict gets into his hands too smoothly, it is only a matter of time." I'm afraid he won't believe it."

"So, I'm going to wrong Princess Heshuo." Xia Zijin's black and white eyes dripped the cold ice hidden in the deep pool of the ancient well, and he looked at her fixedly, "I want to make the princess suffer some flesh and blood."

Being stared at by her like this, Wei Yuan couldn't help her eyelids twitch, she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at her again.Inexplicably, she felt as if she was being stared at by a ferocious beast, seeking skins from tigers, nothing less.But thinking of the benefits that Xia Zijin promised her, and Qing Yun who was dying on the sick bed, Wei Yuan showed a touch of madness.

If this can be done, then the profit will definitely not disappoint her.Such a good opportunity was right in front of her, if she missed it, she would never want to be with Qing Yun in an upright manner in her life, she wanted to go against the sky and give Qing Yun an identity that stood alongside her.

Wei Yuan clenched her fists tightly, her bright red lips seemed to be bleeding, and there was a strange feeling on her face, as well as her voice, she became suspicious, "I will trouble you for everything."

In the past, Wei Yuan just gave Xia Zijin a sense of being smart, but the current Wei Yuan made her feel vigilant involuntarily, as if there was a sudden change in front of her.She nodded, "Princess don't worry, it's just that Xia Tian is cautious and suspicious. If it's normal, I'm afraid there's no way to convince him. At that time, he will have to act the fake show so that the fake one can confuse the real one."

She dipped her chopsticks in tea and quickly drew on the table. Wei Yuan looked at the writing on it, her pupils shrank, and she nodded in agreement, with a hint of determination in her expression.

Although Xia Qin doubted Wei Yuan's sincerity in surrendering, he never expected that the confrontation between Wei Yuan and Xia Zijin was just a play for him. Most importantly, Wei Yuan was so bold to seek his cooperation.But he himself was full of greed, so no matter what, he couldn't avoid this calamity.

After Wei Yuan left, a full three days later, just when Xia Qin was getting impatient, Wei Yuan sent a guard to send a secret message, saying that he had found the place where the edict was hidden, and it was actually in Xia Zijin's boudoir. Unfortunately the exact location is not yet known.

Xia Qin immediately sent the hidden guards to search. As soon as the dark guards arrived at the son-in-law's mansion, they saw Wei Yuan running out in a panic. Xia Zijin, who was chasing her with an angry and flustered face, said, "Stop her!"

Anwei was taken aback, raised his eyes and saw Zhenwen showing his figure.When he shrank his pupils, he saw the bright yellow imperial decree in Wei Yuan's hand, his expression changed instantly, and he rushed forward as fast as he could, trying to stop Zhenwen.It's a pity that he was still a step late. Seeing Zhenwen chasing him, Wei Yuan threw out the thing in her sleeve, which turned out to be a poisonous snake.

The snake letter spat out and went straight towards Xia Zijin.Zhenwen's complexion changed drastically. Between choosing to chase her and save Xia Zijin, he hesitated for a second, then immediately turned around and rushed towards the poisonous snake.Wei Yuan took the opportunity to escape, bumped into the rushing guard without hesitation, and said hastily, "Quick! Take me away!"

As soon as the words fell, she spit out a mouthful of blood.Xia Zijin's expression was ugly, but he didn't care about the poisonous snake jumping over, and screamed, "Yingyi, stop them! We must not let them escape."

The panic between the words made the dark guard's mind concentrate, and the previous doubts disappeared in an instant.If he hadn't received the imperial decree, with Xia Zijin's disposition, he would never have been so flustered.It is a serious crime to hide the imperial decree and keep it secret.

Judging from Xia Qin's situation, this imperial decree is the straw to save his life.If there is a will, he will be the new emperor in good name.Even though he was suspected of treason, he could still use this edict to launch a mutiny, instead of watching Xia Qixuan succeed to the throne like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered like today.

In a blink of an eye, the dark guard made a decision, put down Wei Yuan, and gritted his teeth, "Princess, let's go, this subordinate is here to cut off your empress!"

Wei Yuan raised her head suddenly, her brows were full of shock.Seeing Yingyi and the others speeding up, she moved her mouth without uttering a word, and rushed to the second prince's mansion as fast as she could.Because she was worried about being caught up by the pursuers, she chose the alley on purpose.

But she was still spotted from time to time. When she finally arrived at the second prince's mansion, she immediately knocked on the door and looked back from time to time, as if the guards were chasing her. As soon as the housekeeper opened the door, she rushed over impatiently.

Just as Wei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, a murderous arrow whizzed and pierced her directly in the back of the heart.Blood flowed out immediately, Wei Yuan staggered and fell directly to the ground.The butler turned pale in shock, and closed the door with a "bang" with his backhand.

The blood flowed down her back, Wei Yuan's face was pale, her lips were even paler, her body was shaking uncontrollably from the severe pain, she put one palm on the butler's wrist, and her nails actually pinched directly into his flesh .
