Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 589 Grasshopper on a Rope

Xin'er didn't know what he was thinking. When she saw Xia Shengqing coming in, she immediately turned her body to salute, and bowed to him, "My servant has seen the prince."

Xia Shengqing turned her head and stared at Qi Aohou. Qi Aohou immediately came back to his senses, stepped in, stood one step away from Xin'er, looked at her with a complicated expression, his Adam's apple twitched, and hesitated to speak.

Only then did Xin'er notice him, and seeing him staring at her strangely, she couldn't help being suspicious, then lowered her head, took the towel handed over by the little maid, passed by Qi Aohou, wrung the handkerchief and put it into the basin , Then wring it dry and wipe Xia Zijin's face.

Xia Zijin was supported by Xin'er to sit up, and seeing Qi Aohou staring at Xin'er, her eyes were not bad, she sighed quietly in her heart, if she guessed correctly, the result of her investigation was correct Yes, this can be seen from Qi Aohou's expression.

"Master Hou stared at this princess' maidservant as soon as he entered the door, but he knew her?" Xia Zijin clasped her hands together. She didn't intend to make a fuss about Xiner's life experience, but if she wanted to, she would just hand her over to her. In the hands of Qi Aohou, she was more or less worried and hesitated all the time. Before Yicheng was besieged, she had no choice but to speak to Qi Aohou.

Unexpectedly, Qi Aohou came here without hesitation, so Xia Zijin felt a little relieved, Qi Aohou cared so much about this daughter, if Xin'er recognized him, she would not be treated badly.

Seeing Xin'er hearing this, Qi Aohou subconsciously turned his head to look at himself, his throat moved involuntarily, and he became a little nervous. He gritted his teeth, fisted his palms, and wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say. what.

After a long while, he let out a long breath and nodded, "Princess, Ben Hou does know her, because she looks exactly like Ben Hou's deceased wife."

Seeing that he readily admitted, Xia Zijin nodded.At the beginning, Xin'er said that she and her mother were reduced to the military camp as military prostitutes. Later, she fell in love with a man and escaped through him. The man died trying to save her, but Qi Aohou's wife died there. in the hands of the robbers.

This one, there is nothing the same.That's why she hesitated.Xin'er's mind tightened, she suddenly raised her head to look at Qi Aohou, then turned her head to look at Xia Zijin, all kinds of doubts flashed across her mind, but due to her own identity, she lowered her head again to suppress all those doubts Going down, the thoughts are different, and the eyes are constantly inciting.

"Why should Lord Hou play charades with this princess? The prince should understand what this princess said to Hou Ye before. This princess is talking about Xin'er. It's just that Xin'er has been with this princess for many years, and this princess should always find someone for her." Good guy." Xia Zijin sneered, didn't play with him anymore, and raised his eyebrows directly.

However, what she said made Xin'er's face turn pale for a moment, mistakenly thinking that she was going to marry herself to this middle-aged man who was at least 50 years old in front of her, from Xia Zijin's attitude when facing him, and the way he dressed Xin'er knew that he was an extraordinary person.

As a little girl like her, it would indeed be a blessing if she could be spotted by him.But... Xin'er gritted her teeth, knelt down to Xia Zijin with a "plop", her knee hit the ground, she couldn't help grinning in pain, "Princess, I don't want to."

Xia Zijin didn't expect her to interrupt suddenly, and froze for a while before frowning, "Xin'er, do you know what you're talking about?"

Being able to find her biological father should be a very happy thing for a girl like Xin'er who lacked love since she was a child.However, Xia Zijin didn't expect her reaction to be so intense.

Xin'er kowtowed again, with a solemn and serious expression, "Princess, I don't want to."

Shocked by her words, Marquis Jingwu looked as if he had aged more than ten years for a moment, and took a deep breath, "Do you really hate me so much?"

"Master Hou, my servant thank you for your love, but my servant's status is so low that I really can't accompany Master Hou. I hope that Master Hou will let this servant go and choose someone else." From Xia Zijin's address to Marquis Jingwu just now, Xin'er is Knowing the identity of the person in front of him, he knelt on the ground and spoke respectfully, without any timidity on his face.

Xia Zijin frowned, and after hearing her words, rolled her eyes, she couldn't help but smile with the corners of her lips curled up, no wonder Xin'er's reaction was so intense, it turned out to be a misunderstanding.Marquis Jingwu was obviously still in the pain of being rejected by her, and he didn't notice the strangeness in her words. Seeing her kneeling and kowtowing to him, he felt even more sad, and quickly reached out to help her, "Son, you really don't want to Do you forgive me as a father?"

As soon as these words came out, Xin'er was stunned, and looked at him in a daze, "You...you are..."

Xia Zijin, who was watching the play, couldn't bear it any longer, and burst out laughing with a "puchi", "Xin'er, look at you flustered, before I finish speaking, Marquis Jingwu is your father, you Where do you want to go?"

Xin'er opened her mouth wide, she couldn't help feeling ashamed and indignant when she thought of how she had just resisted to death, she thought the other party had taken a fancy to her, this is really... not come out.

"Okay, Xin'er, you get up first." Xia Zijin coughed, pinched the handkerchief to cover her lips, and couldn't help coughing again.

Xin'er hurriedly got up and supported her heart. Seeing her frail appearance, Marquis Jingwu gritted his teeth, took out a box made of white jade warm stone from his sleeve, and handed it to Xia Zijin, "Princess cough If you do this, you have to be careful about your own body, this snow lotus throat nourishing ointment, the princess asked someone to soak it in warm water, it may be able to relieve the cough."

Seeing that although he was giving him something, he was looking at Xin'er longingly, Xia Zijin's heart was like a mirror, he couldn't help laughing, but he didn't refuse, took the white jade box from him, and played with it for a while , tuck it into the sleeve.

This Saussurea Nourishing Throat Nourishing Ointment is a good thing. The Marquis of Jingwu obviously took it out for Xiner's sake. She didn't want it in vain, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your kindness."

Xin'er turned her head and looked at him fixedly, opened her mouth, swallowed the words again, twisted her fingers together, her thoughts were complicated, when a person suddenly appeared in front of her and said it was her father, she really couldn't believe it.Moreover, she heard from her mother that her father made a big mistake, which led to their family being exiled.

Dad died long ago on the way to the frontier, how could he be the powerful Marquis of Jingwu in front of him.Xin'er's eyes were full of confusion. Although she was full of doubts in her heart, for some reason, the people in front of her always gave her a familiar feeling.

"Princess, what the hell is going on?" Xin'er couldn't hold back and turned to look at Xia Zijin.

"Xin'er, I originally wanted to find the daughter of Marquis Jingwu, but I didn't expect to find you after many searches. Back then, Mrs. Marquis was hijacked by robbers on the way out of the palace. You were still young. The robbers were just being bought by someone, but not the one who killed them, so they left you in the village and gave you to his wife to adopt."

"Just a few years after I imagined, that group of gangsters were exterminated by the government, and you went to the border with your adoptive mother and fell into the military camp." Xia Zijin took a breath, "If you hadn't met that person, you might have escaped. If you don't come out, you won't meet Lord Hou today."

When Marquis Jingwu heard that she was living in the barracks, his palms trembled, "Son, what's the matter with you?"

Xin'er was grabbed by his shoulders, and severe pain came from her shoulders, and her shoulder blades seemed to be crushed.She couldn't help frowning, Jing Wu Hou saw that it hurt her, and hurriedly let go of his hand.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou. Xin'er has to be innocent and not be polluted by those people." Xia Zijin knew what he was worried about at a glance. As a woman, if she lost her reputation, it would be really difficult to live in the world." It's just that Marquis, if you despise her because of this, then don't take her back, this princess will not be unable to support her maid."

The meaning of protecting each other in her words is very obvious, Xin'er raised her eyes to look at her, and the gratitude in her eyes was obvious.Jing Wuhou was told by her, he waved his hands quickly, his face turned red, as if he had been greatly insulted, "What did the princess say, old minister, why would the old minister despise her? The old minister has been looking for her for so many years, and he can't understand her. Did she lose her reputation, even if she lacks arms and legs, the old minister will take her home, and it is the old minister who has treated her badly all these years that caused her to suffer so much."

When Jing Wuhou said this, he couldn't help raising his sleeves, tears streaming down his face.Seeing him like this, Xin'er didn't pretend to be a half-hearted, as if there was a rush of heat in her heart, when she thought that she was a thief and her father, she couldn't help clenching her palms, her nails dug into her palms, and then she cried.

The father and daughter haven't seen each other for many years, and now they finally recognize each other, and they always have to vent.

After a while, Xin'er raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.Jing Wuhou looked at her eagerly, "Son, would you like to go home with your father?"

He stared at Xin'er intently, afraid that she would disagree.Xia Zijin's gaze also fell on Xin'er. If she was in the current situation, she naturally hoped that Xin'er would stay by her side, so that Marquis Jingwu would always be by her side and stand on the same boat as her. However, if she chooses to go back with Marquis Jingwu, at most Marquis Jingwu owes her a favor and waits for the fight to end. If she fails, he will repay the favor by protecting her life.

Although Xin'er's relationship with her is different from that of Xiao Kui, she still hopes for her well in her heart. If she is willing to go back with Marquis Jingwu, she can directly avoid danger, and her status will be even more noble.So she didn't say anything, and let Xin'er decide everything by herself.

Xin'er froze in place, as if she didn't expect him to ask such a question, she lowered her head, rubbed the corner of her clothes, and flashed all kinds of pictures from the past in her mind, Zhenwen was on guard when Jingwuhou came in, until now she knew his purpose, Her gaze fell on Xin'er involuntarily, a bitterness rose from the corner of her lips, she turned around and left quietly.
