Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 588
Qi Aohou would never have thought that Xia Qin not only failed to capture Yicheng, but was captured by Xia Zijin instead.Xia Shengqing sat down in front of him very politely, and ordered the maid to refill tea.The magistrate of Yicheng regained his freedom in life after Xia Qin was defeated.Naturally, he was not dissatisfied with Xia Zijin and others' surveillance of him. He even called it Xia Zijin who was worried about his safety and sent someone to protect him.

Although Xia Zijin didn't like flattering people, the magistrate of Yicheng was so sensible that she didn't mind supporting him. Naturally, she accepted all the goodwill from the magistrate of Yicheng.The magistrate of Yicheng climbed up the pole, and since then he has followed Xia Shengqing, respectful and respectful, this time he came to see Qi Aohou, he naturally followed.

"Master Hou, ma'am, she suddenly felt unwell and caught a cold. Now she is sick in bed and cannot come to see Master Hou. I hope Master Hou will forgive me." Xia Shengqing briefly explained the reason why Xia Zijin did not come to meet him in person.

Qi Aohou was still a little dissatisfied at first, but now that Xia Zijin was ill, the little dissatisfaction in his heart was suppressed immediately.However, he had to carefully consider whether Xia Zijin was really sick or fake.Immediately, he raised his head and smiled softly, "What did Lord Qiantose say? The princess is not feeling well, so she should take a good rest. Benhou has a century-old ginseng plant here. I hope Lord Qiantose will take it and hand it over to the princess so that she can take care of herself." It's your own body."

Xia Shengqing didn't expect him to bring a gift, but when he thought of the reason why he came here, he immediately felt relieved.Qi Aohou's gift is really because of panacea, whether it is for Xia Zijin or Xia Qin, it is very suitable.

Xia Shengqing took the box, put it in the palm of his hand and caressed the patterns on it, and slowly raised the corners of his lips, "Thank you, Mrs. Hou, for your kindness."

As soon as he flicked his sleeves, he tucked the box into his cuffs.Seeing that his expression was calm, without the slightest bit of embarrassment, Qi Aohou temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and turned his mind to another matter.After all, Xia Zijin said that there was news of that incident, so he took the risk of bringing troops over to support him.

Otherwise, a local emperor like him who guards one side would not easily participate in party and government disputes.There are so many princes and grandchildren, to him, it doesn't make any difference who is the emperor.He came here to investigate the truth of his wife's death that year.

Back then, he and his wife went to Beijing together to congratulate Ming Shengdi on his birthday. Unexpectedly, when his wife came out of the palace, she suddenly encountered an assassin and died unexpectedly. His daughter's whereabouts were unknown, and she has not been seen until now.Although he is superficially free and easy, he has been secretly looking for the whereabouts of his daughter.

It's a pity that as time goes by, there will be less and less information to be found.To this day, he has not found his daughter. When Xia Zijin was in despair, she suddenly handed him a piece of wood and pulled him up, a man who was about to drown. He finally got the news, and he would come naturally, even if Xia Zijin was just teasing him. To ask clearly.

I just hope that Xia Zijin didn't deceive him.If not... Qi Aohou's eyes flashed fiercely.He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't hear Xia Shengqing talking to him at all.

Xia Shengqing watched him wandering too far away, and secretly sighed.Originally, Xia Qin might have a chance to make a comeback, but he decided to be smart and do such a thing. Now, even the heavens can't save him.Xia Shengqing's eyes flickered, but anyone who knew him well could tell that he was clearly gloating.

However, it is not surprising that he will show such emotions.After all, if it wasn't for Xia Qin, he would not have been seriously injured, and Rong Yu would not have been injured.Xia Zijin didn't have to force himself to deal with him, causing his already overworked body to be overdrawn again, so that he fell ill directly.

When he thought that Xia Zijin's cheeks had sunken and lost a lot of weight in just one day, he couldn't help feeling distressed.

When Qi Aohou came back to his senses, he saw his troubled and apologetic expression, but this expression was obviously not for him.Thinking of what he said just now that Xia Zijin fell ill, Qi Aohou more or less understood, he should be worried about Xia Zijin.

Soon, Xia Shengqing put away the expression on his face, raised his eyebrows, and showed an imperceptible smile on the corner of his lips.His ability to control emotions and facial expressions has always been excellent, if not, he wouldn't have been able to bear the vengeance of killing his father and stay by Ming Shengdi's side for so many years without being discovered.He even climbed step by step to the position of Ming Shengdi's confidant.

Today's expression was shown on purpose by him, in order to impress Qi Aohou.This Qi Aohou is an infatuated kind. After Mrs. Qi Aohou's accident, he has never married a wife, and he has never taken a concubine, so that he has no heirs until now.

For this reason, Ming Shengdi had always trusted him and allowed him to go to Mobei and lead troops to guard it.This situation looks like decentralization, but it actually gives him great power.Anyone with a discerning eye can see this.

As for Qi Aohou himself, he can naturally see that since then, he has been loyal to Ming Shengdi.

Xia Zijin sighed involuntarily when he thought of him being alone now.Even though his intelligence network spread all over the world, the news about his daughter is only clues, and if that person is really his daughter, I'm afraid Qi Aohou's guilt will be even heavier.

If he had no other choice, he would not let Qi Aohou know about it.But in order to save his life and Yicheng, Xia Zijin had no choice but to disclose the matter to attract Qi Aohou's attention.Obviously, this worked out well, and Qi Aohou did indeed come.

But when thinking of the current identity of that person, Xia Shengqing was tangled for a while, and managed to cheer up, "Master Hou must want to ask about his daughter."

Seeing that he knew, Qi Aohou immediately showed an excited expression on his face, he took a deep breath, "To tell the truth, Lord Qiantose, this Marquis is indeed here for this matter."

While speaking, he couldn't help lowering his head, with a faint sense of decadence and bitterness on his face.For his own daughter, he is very sorry, it's just that he failed to keep his wife, and he couldn't even find the flesh and blood of the two of them.

Xia Shengqing patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, "Master Hou, don't worry, the king has already known about this matter through his wife, and this time I came to see Lord Hou for this matter, but I don't know, can Master Hou answer first?" My king has a question."

"Just tell me." Qi Aohou's eyes lit up, and he stared at him fiercely.

Xia Shengqing took a deep breath, "Master Hou, your love has been missing for so long, plus she was kidnapped by the gangsters earlier, so it is impossible to say that something bad will happen to her. Maybe it is not easy to be a slave or a servant girl, or she has already seen marriage to someone else. , what should Hou Ye do if he encounters such a situation?"

Qi Aohou was startled, then frowned.It is true that what Xia Shengqing said is true. He was only looking for his daughter before, but he did not expect that in the past so many years, if his daughter was still alive, she might have married a long time ago. But with her status, the person she will marry must not be of high status. .

Thinking of this, Qi Aohou's eyes showed anger, he had a feeling that his daughter was being taken advantage of by others, but in the next moment, he let go of his palm dejectedly, and sighed faintly, it was really because he After missing his beloved daughter for so many years, he really has no face to take care of her affairs.

Moreover, if the other party treats her daughter sincerely, he has nothing to disagree with.After understanding his thoughts, the panic in Qi Aohou's eyes flashed away, and he calmed down quickly, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. As a father, I haven't protected her for so many years, let alone raised her. If we meet , it is enough to be able to hear and call Daddy."

One should not be too greedy, this point, Qi Aohou is clear.Therefore, his requirements are not high.It's useless to say too much now, no matter what he thinks, he has to find his daughter first.

Seeing that he was clear-headed, Xia Shengqing couldn't help giving him a high look, nodded immediately, pushed out a stack of thick letters from his sleeve, and handed them to Qi Aohou.Qi Aohou's eyes suddenly revealed an expression of excitement, he took the letters and opened them one by one, his body trembling uncontrollably.

After waiting to finish reading, he suddenly looked up at Xia Shengqing, "Where is she?"

Although Qi Aohou tried his best to restrain himself, his trembling body still let Xia Shengqing see the excitement and ecstasy in his heart.

Faced with his appearance, Xia Shengqing sighed faintly, then stood up, turned around and walked towards the door, "Master Hou is coming with me."

Qi Aohou's mind was full of his daughter's affairs, so he stood up immediately, quickly caught up with him, fisted his hands in his sleeves, followed her all the way to a woman's boudoir, when he was standing at the door, he heard a burst of weakness coughing.

Xia Shengqing turned around, saw Qi Aohou's worried expression, couldn't help but chuckled, and explained, "Master Hou, don't worry, the lady is seriously ill here, your daughter is serving the princess right now."

He immediately opened the door, and Qi Aohou looked over immediately, and saw the figure standing in front of the bed holding the medicine bowl, his whole body trembled, and the whole body trembled more violently, his fists loosened for a while, and then clenched again for a while.

With just one glance, Qi Aohou recognized the figure in the room, it was undoubtedly his daughter.In fact, this side face is exactly the same as his deceased wife.However, the soles of his feet seemed to be stuck to the ground with glue, and he couldn't move, or he simply didn't know how to step in and face the daughter he had lost for many years inside.

For a moment, he thought about all kinds of possibilities in his mind, and his lips trembled non-stop, but he just couldn't take that step, as if he was timid and nervous, blocking him at the door abruptly.Perhaps his gaze was too hot, Xin'er raised her head involuntarily, looked behind her, and saw a middle-aged man staring at her.

Xin'er was startled for a moment, then frowned, feeling strange in her heart.Seeing her expression, Qi Aohou's heart trembled, and he mistakenly thought that she hated him, and immediately felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on him, making him feel cold from head to toe.
