Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 66 The Birth of a Demon Star
"Liang Aiqing, I ordered you to go to Minhui Village together with the defense officer to thoroughly investigate this matter! I want to know why so many people turned into monsters overnight, otherwise how can I explain to the people? Tell the world!"

Ming Shengdi lowered his face and was very concerned about this riot. This was not just an ordinary riot, but also related to the personal safety of the people in Shangjing. If these monsters that seemed human but not human continued to run rampant in Beijing, wouldn't it be The entire city of Shangjing will be plunged into panic.

"Anqi Aiqing, you lead three thousand hussars to station in the west of the city. Once you find the people who have turned into monsters, you should immediately put them in a cell three miles away from the west of the city. Remember not to hurt your life, and you must not let a monster run into Shangjing. Come!"

Liu Anqi stepped forward and cupped his fists and said, "I would like to obey the emperor's will!"

Emperor Ming rubbed his acupoints and nodded, his eyes were full of exhaustion, this riot came suddenly, just after the new year, but something like this happened, this year's Dalai may not be peaceful.

"Your Majesty, I have a copy to play!"

When Ming Shengdi rubbed his head and sighed, a minister came forward holding a wat board.

I saw this person had a gray beard that grew to the front, and his eyebrows were high into the temples. Although he looked to be over sixty, his eyes were still piercing.He is dressed in an official uniform that is no different from others, but he has a sense of immortality.

"Jianzheng loves you, but it doesn't matter if you say it." Ming Shengdi said.

Qin Tianjian bowed and said: "My Majesty, I watched the sky last night and found that there is an unknown star around Sirius. It's a bad omen!"

When this statement came out, everyone was lost.

One must know that the right Sirius represents the position of the Son of Heaven and the Emperor, and there are evil stars surrounding the Son of Heaven, this is the most important event.

Sure enough, Ming Shengdi's complexion was darker and even uglier. His eyes were calm, and he was thinking about something in his eyes. He put his hands on the dragon chair, and a trace of unknown panic flashed across.

Others may not have noticed it, but Xia Shengqing, who was standing aside, could see it clearly. It was a kind of panic as a superior who feared that his power would be overthrown. After all, Ming Shengdi was too greedy for power.

"...Jianzheng Aiqing can wait and see what this ominous star means?" Ming Shengdi said in a low voice.

"Back to the emperor, I haven't waited and watched, but I can conclude that the riots in Minhui Village this time must be inextricably related to this evil star. I suggest that the emperor send people to search for abnormalities in Minhui Village. Since the heavens have warned us, they will definitely leave clues for us!" Qin Tianjian was bowing and said, his old eyes narrowed, and he looked very sincere.

Xia Shengqing stood beside Ming Shengdi, with a flick of the whisk in his hand, his eyes flicked to Qin Tianjian.This old man usually looks like a fairy, and he thinks he is a righteous man, but he doesn't expect to be with Concubine Yue.

As he thought so, his eyes carefully watched among the ranks of courtiers. Apart from standing tall in the harem, Concubine Yue has many pillars in the court. If all these people are involved, I am afraid that this time he and the princess will be married. It took a lot of brains.

"Jianzheng Aiqing's words are reasonable!" Ming Shengdi Fuxu agreed, "Since this is the case, Liang Aiqing and An Qi Aiqing muster up their spirits. Let me find out the instructions of the evil star."

"The minister leads the order!"

"I obey my orders!"

The two clasped their fists in unison.

Xia Shengqing's eyes were fixed on the Qin Tianjian, wrinkling up traces. The astrology in Yue Guifei's mouth probably refers to this. If she wants to put Xia Zijin to death without sparing any effort, the viciousness of her heart can be justified. want to see.

In the Mosheng Garden, Xia Zijin was sitting on a slump, with gauze wrapped around her ankles, her hands folded in her warm sleeves, her expression was obscure.She lowered her eyes, recalling the scenes of last night in her mind, and felt more and more weird in her heart.

Those villagers still looked good after noon, and it took them only an hour or two to go up the mountain and come down again.What could make the villagers of the entire village turn into monsters without sanity in just two hours?

Before she could come up with an idea, she heard three knocks on the door.

"come in."

As soon as Xia Zijin finished speaking, Xia Shengqing gently opened the door and stepped into the room. He took off his long coat and shook the snowflakes on his head, looking a little tired.

"How is the morning?" Xia Zijin sat up straight and asked.

Xia Shengqing put the long coat aside, moved the high chair and sat in front of Xia Zijin and said slowly: "It is indeed as we expected, today the military guards in the west of the city reported to the emperor about the riot in Minhui Village last night, the government and the people were shocked, and the emperor was shocked by this." It is very important.”

Xia Zijin nodded and said, "Father will definitely have someone thoroughly investigate Minhui Village, and people from Imperial Concubine Shi Yue will intersperse among them, and the big soft-shelled turtle shell buried in the soil of an ancient tree under the Yinxu Mountain Waterfall will be dug out for fuss." Concubine Yue really spent a lot of effort in order to touch this hidden line. It's just a pity that the people in the village are so innocent."

Xia Zijin sighed, with a thick layer of veil in her heart. She didn't kill Boren Boren but died because of her. The people in the whole Minhui Village became that kind of concubine because of Yue Guifei's plan to frame her. How can she not be disturbed by her appearance?

"Princess, don't worry too much. Concubine Yue Guifei opened the way. If it weren't for her scorpion-heartedness, the common people would not suffer innocently. We must overcome this hurdle and bring her to justice as soon as possible." Xia Shengqing patted He patted the back of her hand, eyes full of worry.

"It's just that now we know that she is in the dark, and we have to be careful every step of the way. Once we take a wrong step, we will be lost forever." Xia Zijin sighed, feeling very tired.

Xia Shengqing brushed the broken hair from her forehead behind her ears, moved the corners of her mouth slightly, brought her face closer, looked into her deep eyes and said, "Princess, don't worry, there is me, although I am not What kind of high-ranking and powerful minister has to do his best to protect the princess."

The gentle voice and delicate and clear pupils made Xia Zijin feel the warmth and enthusiasm at such moments. She smiled and nodded, like the first flower in spring, delicate and bright.

It was night, and Emperor Ming was lying on his back on the bed in the inner hall of Qianqing Palace. It was only the third quarter of the Hai hour, but he felt exhausted. Maybe it was because he was getting older, and he could sit and review for three or four hours in the past. Zou Ze, now that he has only sat for an hour or two, he will feel dizzy.

He closed his eyes, put his hands on his stomach, breathed shallowly, and soon fell into a dream.

Ming Shengdi dreamed that he was in a barren land, surrounded by dry grass and sand, and there were large areas of dark and dense jungle.

He ran forward in the jungle, but he couldn't see the road ahead. There was a thick white fog in front of him, which made it hard to breathe.

Ming Shengdi held on to the tree for a moment, and felt that the whole world was spinning, and the bloody crescent moon in the sky was oppressive and gloomy. He didn't know where he was, and he didn't know when he would be able to clear the fog after running like this.

"Xia Zhong... Xia Zhong..."

Ming Shengdi heard a low and mournful voice calling him from behind, he was shocked, and suddenly echoed, but there was indeed no one behind him.

"Who! Who's pretending to be a ghost!" Ming Shengdi yelled, grasping with his hands in the thick, but didn't touch anything.

"Xia Zhong... Xia Zhong..."

The sound surrounded his ears, but Ming Shengdi couldn't find out where the sound was. Fear and horror surrounded him, making him feel deeply uncomfortable.

Ming Shengdi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, supported the tree and ran forward, and the gloomy voice followed behind him for a long time.

"Xia Zhong... Your time of death is here... Your time of death is here!" The ghostly voice resounded faintly beside his ears, and struck straight into his heart.

"No! I will not die! I will never die!"

Ming Shengdi yelled, and sat up suddenly from the bed, the mist and forest, ghosts and voices in front of him disappeared without a trace, except for the yellow and orange curtains, there was nothing else.

"It turned out to be a dream..." Ming Shengdi sighed softly, raised his sleeves to wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, and felt even more tired.

"Report to the emperor! Lord Qin Tianjian and Lord Liang have something to see outside the palace!" Xiao Xiazi hurriedly entered the bedroom, and bowed to Ming Shengdi.

The eyelid of Ming Shengdi's right eye has been throbbing since he fell asleep, and now it is even more violent. Qin Tianjian is asking to see Liang Shilang at this time, and it seems that there is something important in Minhui Village.He rubbed his scalp, nodded and said: "Let them wait in the outer hall, I will go out after changing clothes."

In the outer hall, Liang Shilang and Qin Tianjian stood facing each other, and they both saw the light in each other's eyes.

Liang Shilang smiled lightly, his short black beard turned up slightly, and said, "Master Jianzheng watched the sky tonight, but did you see the trace of that evil star?"

The prisoner was stroking his gray beard that grew to his front, his eyes narrowed and narrowed.

"Master Liang has gained a lot in Minhui Village, so naturally I won't get nothing. Now that the two of us work together, the demon star must have nowhere to hide."

Liang Shilang showed a meaningful smile. Both of them are ministers of the eldest son of the emperor's party. This time, if he works for the eldest son of the emperor, as long as the matter is completed, there will be a big reward. As for the unlucky ghost who is regarded as a demon star, it has nothing to do with them .

The supervisor also smiled knowingly, the two looked greedy and adulterous, and they were out of place under the bright lights of this hall.

"The emperor is here!"

Xiao Xiazi screamed, and Ming Shengdi strode out of the inner hall silently with his hands behind his back, and sat on the dragon chair with his robes lifted, and said in a deep voice: "The two lovers begged to see me late at night, but Is there any clue about what happened in Minhui Village?"
