Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 568 Confrontation
After all, King Lin is a clear princeling, and many courtiers were promoted by King Lin back then. If Lin Runyu was willing to open his mouth to agree to Xia Qin's ascension to the throne, then most people in the court would support him accordingly. Even if Xia Zijin wanted to refuse, he would difficulty.

Only the Prime Minister, who had already found some clues in Xia Qin's mouth earlier, looked at Lin Runyu at this moment, complex flashed in his slightly cloudy eyes, his fingers were clenched into fists, and he glared at him viciously, as if threatening.

Lin Runyu's eyes fell on Xia Zijin with hatred. He was in this situation because of Xia Zijin's gift. Naturally, he couldn't help but hate. Lin Runyu took a deep breath, regardless of whether his answer would attract the attention of the prime minister. Human killing intent continued: "Although this son believes in the prince's character, the facts are not yet clear. If he ascends the throne rashly, it may be inappropriate. It is better to wait for the matter to be clarified. By then, it will not be too late for the prince to ascend the throne again." .”

The words were tactful, but the pupils of the ministers inside and outside the court shrank, and even Xia Qixuan looked at him with murderous intent.The old officials behind the prime minister widened their eyes, staring at him as if they had seen a ghost.

These gazes fell on Lin Runyu one by one, and even Lin Wang who was standing in his position was affected. He was as old as him, and couldn't help but sullen his face slightly.

Lin Runyu's scalp was even more numb, and she kept laughing dryly on her face, but she didn't change the meaning of her previous remarks.The prime minister took a step forward and looked at him closely, "Is what the son said true?"

"Naturally." In Lin Runyu's heart, he also hoped that he would sit on this dragon chair. He wished that all the princes and grandchildren of Emperor Mingsheng were dead. Otherwise, how could he have a chance.Now Xia Tian is very powerful, so he initially said that he wanted to cooperate with Xia Zijin, but it was because she was a female class and could not pose a threat to him.

On the other hand, Xia Qixuan is very dependent on her. He just needs to hide in the dark, control Xia Zijin, wait for the moment Xia Qixuan thinks he has succeeded, and then let Xia Zijin turn his back on her. At that time, it will be easy for him to win the throne ,
Unfortunately, what was thought to be a sure thing, unexpectedly happened at this moment.And this accident, he still hasn't figured it out yet.But compared to exposing himself and watching Xia Qin sit on the throne, he would naturally choose the former. This was calculated by Xia Zijin.She went to the prison earlier and told Xia Qin about this, which had already planted a thorn in his heart.

Lin Runyu's move to prevent him from ascending the throne today will definitely make this thorn take root.And his behavior of not helping each other seems to have offended no one, but in fact both parties have offended.After all, Xia Qixuan wouldn't be grateful that he didn't speak up for Xia Qin.

Xia Zijin raised her head and looked at Lin Runyu provocatively. The resentment accumulated in the previous life seemed to dissipate a little.Lin Runyu naturally noticed her gaze, and couldn't help but clenched his fists, feeling hatred growing in his heart.

The prime minister stared at him for a long while, then suddenly looked away, snorted coldly, and the corners of his lips were sharp, "In that case, please find out the truth as soon as possible."

Xia Zijin nodded with a smile, as if she didn't see his gloomy face.Waiting for the sound of the eunuch retreating, all the courtiers withdrew one by one. Xia Zijin turned to look at the eunuch standing aside with his head bowed, and sighed faintly, "Why?"

She was indeed not prepared to let Xia Qin die in prison so easily, but this cannot be the reason for the eunuch to betray her. Although the eunuch's words were vague and he did not completely stand on the opposite side, he still betrayed.Therefore, she needed an explanation, an explanation that spared him.The eunuch must have thought clearly when he came out after hiding for so many days.

Ever since Ming Shengdi was not dead, when Xia Zijin came to serve the sick every day, the eunuch saw how terrible she was. Now that the coercion was facing him alone, he couldn't help but tremble all over, and immediately knelt down On the ground, his expression was humble, but he did not say anything begging for mercy, and calmly narrated what happened before, "When I was young, there was a famine in my hometown, and my parents had nothing to do, so I sent this old slave to the palace to be a eunuch. I originally thought that my parents were already old, but I didn’t expect that my mother was still alive, it’s a pity that my eyes were blind, the Prime Minister found the old slave that day, and threatened him with this matter, the old slave really..."

Seeing him like this, Xia Zijin smiled, "Then why don't you do exactly what he said? This princess doesn't believe it, he will let you fool me like this."

"After the old slave learned about this, he secretly sent someone to find out where the old lady was, but at that time he only knew the location and hadn't been rescued. When he went there, he found that she was already sick and didn't have a few days to live. On the contrary It was in so much pain that this old slave made a decision..." The eunuch wiped away tears, and there was a hint of ruthlessness on his old face.

Xia Zijin didn't expect him to be like this, she was stunned subconsciously, and then sighed softly, "Eunuch, get up, this matter is hard for you. In the future, you will have to worry about all the big and small things in the palace."

It's normal for the eunuch to be confused when a family relationship that he hasn't seen for many years comes to his door.But she didn't expect that he would be willing to send his old mother away with his own hands. She didn't know if he didn't want to have weaknesses and be used by them, or because he really didn't want to see his old mother suffer in this world.From the looks of it, pretending to be sick a few days ago was probably just dealing with the matter.

Hearing Xia Zijin's reply, the eunuch's eyes lit up, his breathing became a little short, and the stone in his throat fell back into his stomach, and he kowtowed heavily, "Thank you for your forgiveness, the old slave will live up to his promises in the future." Trust."

Only then did Xia Zijin stand up rubbing her head, took out a medicine bottle from her sleeve, poured out a red ball and put it in her mouth, a little rosiness appeared on her face.Xin'er helped her stand up, and walked outside step by step.

No sooner had she walked out of the Golden Luan Hall than two steps later, a figure came out from the side of the rockery and stopped directly in front of her. Two vicious eyes immediately fell on her.Xia Zijin blocked the sunlight in front of him, shivered subconsciously, clenched the thermos in his hand, raised his head, looked at Lin Runyu, who was standing in front of him with red eyes, and grinned, "What do you mean, sir?"

The warm voice like spring rain drifted into Lin Runyu's ears with the sound of the wind, and then soaked into the bones of his whole body. It was obviously very gentle words, but for some reason, it gave him inexplicable goose bumps.He suddenly raised his head, stared at Xia Zijin viciously, and took a breath, "How dare you bully me?"

Xu Shi was so angry that he even forgot what he called himself, and opened his mouth like a giant beast that only wanted to eat people. If it was in the previous life, Xia Zijin would definitely be afraid.But it's a pity that this ferocious giant beast only dared to bluff. If she was frightened like this, how could she get to where she is today.

So she kept her composure, raised her head with cold eyes, and stared at Lin Runyu, her heart trembling uncontrollably, as if the person in front of her was some kind of ghost, subconsciously took a step back, and Xia Zijin slowly smiled, "Everyone, each other."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Runyu's pupils suddenly tightened, and then his expression suddenly closed, and a slight smile appeared on the corners of his lips, "It's my son's negligence, but Princess Mingzhu is so unscrupulous, isn't she afraid that the little princess' life will be lost? . "

After saying that, he suddenly turned around and left.Xia Zijin stood on the spot, looking at his back, his expression no longer had the smile before, and instantly sank down, his fingers holding the thermos pot unconsciously tightened, and with a "pop", the nails snapped off.Xia Zijin seemed to be unable to feel the pain, but still stood where she was, her face sinking like water.

Although the antidote has been made, but thinking of her negligence that caused Lin Runyu to take An An away, and even poisoned her, she couldn't help but feel hatred in her heart.

It wasn't until the thermos started to give off a slight coolness that Xia Zijin woke up from the fugue, glanced at Xin'er who was full of worry, and walked forward.Xin'er moved her mouth, but in the end she didn't speak, she sighed silently in her heart, thinking of Lin Runyu's figure, her eyes shone with a hint of hatred.

Xia Shengqing didn't go to court today because of dealing with An'an's antidote, but waited outside the palace gate for Xia Zijin to come out. After waiting for a long time, she came out with an indifferent expression. In his arms, "Zijin, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Zijin curled her lips, told about the previous confrontation with Lin Runyu, rubbed her head in his arms, and fell asleep directly.

Seeing her sleep as soon as she said it, Xia Shengqing couldn't help laughing, stroking her frowning brows with her fingers, and carried her into the carriage.

Xia Zijin slept in the evening. She thought she was too tired, but she didn't expect it to be a symptom of pregnancy. She just woke up and saw Xiner come in with food. Just as she was about to speak, the smell of food entered her nose , There was a feeling of nausea in my chest, and I vomited it out immediately.

Xin'er quickly turned around and stroked her back, passing her handkerchiefs from time to time.Xia Zijin vomited for a full quarter of an hour before recovering. Looking at the food box on the table, she felt nauseated again, and waved quickly, "Take it away! Take it away!"

Xin'er quickly stood up, took the food box and went out. When she came back, she quickly opened the window to let the smell out as soon as possible.Xia Zijin felt as if his stomach acid had been vomited out, and he lay on the bed with blank eyes, gasping for breath, feeling tight in his heart.

When Xia Shengqing came back, he saw her looking like a dead fish, and couldn't help feeling distressed. Sitting next to her, his internal energy was transferred to her through his fingers. Seeing her pale face, he hesitated for a long time, and sighed, " Zijin, otherwise, we don't want this child."

Xia Zijin suddenly opened his eyes wide, sat up suddenly, and looked at Xia Shengqing in disbelief.

She remembered clearly that when she wanted to give up the child before, Xia Shengqing insisted, but why did he suddenly change his mind within a few days.Xia Zijin couldn't help clenching her fists. She finally made up her mind to protect the fetus in her womb. How could she just give up?
"You are so uncomfortable, if this child has to toss you to come out, you don't want it, otherwise, I can't bear it here as a husband..." Xia Shengqing saw that her expression was hurt, and slowly put her hands on her chest.
