Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 69 Two Demon Stars
The hussar general who was waiting at the side waved, and the guards stepped up, supporting Xia Zijin who was kneeling on the ground from left to right.

"Wait a minute!"

At this moment, a high-pitched and thick voice came from outside the gate of the main hall, and everyone looked for the reputation, only to see Xia Shengqing in a dark robe, with his sleeves together, striding forward to pay homage to Ming Shengdi, behind him Then followed by soldiers of the Hussars in armor.

"Your Majesty! This servant just assisted the deputy general in the search, and found something in the Libai Garden!" Xia Shengqing faced his knees, sinking like the sea, and the firmness in his eyes was unprecedented. Where no one could see, he could only see his face. The little finger trembled slightly, and the red under the chest was throbbing.

He couldn't imagine what would happen to Xia Zijin if he came one step later.

"What is it?" Ming Shengdi frowned tightly, his heart was already extremely disturbed.

Xia Shengqing presented the item wrapped in brocade cloth, and upon closer inspection, it was almost the same as what General Hussars had presented just now!
Ming Shengdi's dragon's eyes shrank slightly, he stretched out his sleeve and took the object, turned over the brocade cloth in two or three times, and saw another ancient armor in the palm of his hand!
At this moment, everyone was in an uproar, one by one covered their veils and whispered to each other, but the owner of Libai Garden, the Ninth Princess Xia Ziwu, turned pale in an instant, stood up from his seat with a thud, and raised his hand. The skirt knelt down in front of Ming Shengdi.

"Father! My son is wronged!"

She seemed to have not reacted from such a catastrophe, her whole body was full of panic and surprise, and the sudden evidence caught her off guard.

Ming Shengdi remained silent, and compared the two Jiagu items together carefully, only to see that the two items were almost identical except for the texture and color.

Xia Shengqing cupped her hands and said: "This thing was found in the Libai Courtyard of the Ninth Princess, and the deputy general dug it out with his own hands, so it can't be wrong. Your Majesty, there will only be one person for the demon star that the ancient God Jia predicted. There is only one purple mans star that my lord sees when watching the sky at night, so please let the emperor decide who is the real demon star!"

Xia Zijin was held up by the guards, her eyes fluttered and she looked at Xia Shengqing, her pale lips trembling in a murmur, he came, she hasn't lost this battle in a complete mess, it's just whether things can turn around now.

"Father! This son is not a monster star. I grew up under your knees since childhood. How can you not know what kind of person I am!" Xia Ziwu was crying at this moment. She blamed her for being afraid and suffering. Bitter lives carefully step by step in this palace, without the favor of Ming Shengdi, and without the concern of the concubine mother, she thinks she is careful enough, but why is she still reduced to a pawn in the hands of others.

"What kind of person you are, God knows better than me!" Ming Shengdi roared, his eyes widened, and he felt his mind became muddled, and the voice of the ghost demanding his life in the dream seemed to be coming again. It floated up in the main hall, strand by strand, faintly drifting into his ears.

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

Ming Shengdi blushed with fear, Long Mu swept back and forth on the main hall, but did not find anything.

"emperor?"

Xia Shengqing noticed the strangeness of Ming Shengdi, and called out a word tentatively, only to see Ming Shengdi suddenly regained consciousness, as if he had been frightened by something, thin sweat broke out on his forehead.

Ming Shengdi came back to his senses and saw that everyone in the hall was looking at him with a look of confusion, he suddenly settled down, waved his sleeves and said: "Come here, put the Ninth Princess and Princess Mingzhu into the sky prison together, and wait." Deal with it!"

After all, Ming Shengdi's mind also became muddled, his eyes turned yellow, and when it went dark suddenly, his whole body fell back.

"emperor!"

"Father!"

Palace people and princesses swarmed up to support Ming Shengdi, and the entire Qianqing Palace was in chaos.

Xia Zijin and Xia Ziwu were escorted out of the palace gate by the guards. The noise and the voice of calling for Ming Shengdi seemed to be like a torrent, passing Xia Zijin's ears, but then faded away.

In her eyes, there was only that dark blue slender figure, even though she was escorted away by the guards, that gradually blurred figure was still firmly engraved on her heart. Tears, in this life, after all, she didn't gamble on the wrong people's hearts.

In the dark dungeon, surrounded by gray and rustic walls, the hard stone bed is covered with yellow and rotten straw, sparse cotton is scattered on it, and squeaking rats pop out from the corners from time to time.

Xia Zijin and Xia Ziwu huddled in a relatively clean corner, surrounded by decaying atmosphere, and the weak cries of prisoners could be heard in their ears.

Xia Zijin remembered that the last time she came back to this prison, she watched Qi Jun commit suicide outside the prison, and the bright red blood flowed across the stone slabs in front of her eyes, staining her embroidered shoes, and it is indeed gone now. exists.

Xia Ziwu hugged her knees with both hands, curled up her body, and there were tears in her eyes. Although she was a princess who was not favored by Ming Shengdi, she was also a real golden branch and jade leaf. How could she have suffered such suffering? The disgusting air deeply stimulated Xia Ziwu, she kept shaking her shoulders, fearing that she would die in the dungeon forever.

"Ninth Sister, are you okay...?"

Xia Zijin asked in a hoarse voice. Looking at Xia Ziwu's appearance, she really couldn't bear it. After all, Xia Ziwu shouldn't have suffered such an indiscriminate disaster. If it wasn't for this conspiracy, Xia Ziwu would probably have been a security guard for the rest of his life. A stable and stable noble lady in Beijing.

Xia Ziwu raised half of his face, tear-stained, trembling eyelashes looked at Xia Zijin, weakly said: "Sister Zijin, aren't you afraid..."

That expression full of fear made Xia Zijin feel a little dazed. She was afraid, but now, what can she do if she is afraid? She is in the prison and can't do anything. The only thing she can do is , just wait.

Wait for a chance, her chance to survive.

"Ninth Sister, the hearts of the people outside are much more terrifying than the rats in the dungeon." Xia Zijin twitched the corners of her lips helplessly, lifted the mouse that was lying on Xia Ziwu's feet and gnawed straw, and put it far away, and patted it. Clap the floating ash on your hands.

Xia Ziwu hugged his legs, and there were tears in his eyes, but he blinked a few times and sighed deeply.

"Sister Zijin, do you really believe that there are evil spirits in this world?" Xia Ziwu buried his head deep in his knees, the bun on his head was already messed up.

Believe it or not, it's never up to them, but Ming Shengdi will decide.The noble concubine Yue and Xia Ziqi put so much effort into setting up this situation because they knew that the Ming emperor was suspicious and overthinking.

"Demon star? Heh, if there really is a demon star, then it's still unknown who will be the master of the world. It's just a fabrication made by the incompetent in the past." Xia Zijin shook his head, and the sprain that hadn't healed was aching in his ankle. , she only felt that time passed so slowly, and the sky outside the cell was so far away.

How she can get out of this world is still unknown. The only thing she can count on is the mercy of God, which not only gave her a chance to be reborn, but also whether she will let fate play tricks and let her die at this time Huang Quan.

After all, it was a sleepless night.

Ming Shengdi faintly woke up from the dragon bed. At this moment, it was already bright outside the window, and the warm white light entered Ming Shengdi's eyes. He opened his eyes, and Mingguang's brocade tent came into view. call.

"Your Majesty! You're awake!" The Empress stood closest to the bed, sat down joyfully at this moment, and tucked the quilt for Ming Shengdi.

"The emperor is awake. Such a sudden fainting really scares the concubine to death!" Concubine Yue surrounded her, her half-coquettish and half-annoyed tone was just right.

And Yue Jing'an didn't say a word, she looked at Ming Shengdi clearly with her eyes, and the worry in her eyes was fully revealed, but only Yue Jing'an knew whether the worry was true or not.

"Help me up..."

Ming Shengdi moved his body, leaned against the soft pillow that the empress placed behind him, rubbed his scalp, and couldn't hide the fatigue in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you have been in a coma for several hours, do you need some food?" The Queen asked with concern.

Ming Shengdi waved his hand, how can he even care about eating now, if the demon star is not removed, he will have trouble sleeping and eating all day, the sound like a furtive dream must be brought by the demon star!

Concubine Yue stepped forward slightly and said: "Sister Empress, can't you see that the emperor is currently suffering from a serious problem, if the serious problem in his heart does not get rid of, how can the emperor feel at ease..."

She dragged the end of the sound, with a meaningful look, the queen gave Concubine Yue a hard look, very dissatisfied with Concubine Yue's chaos.

"The emperor has just woken up, so why does my sister bring up that troublesome matter, maybe she is deliberately trying to keep the emperor from getting upset!" the queen said in a low voice.

Concubine Yue ignored the queen's words at all, leaned forward and wiped the sweat from Ming Shengdi's forehead with concern, and said softly: "Why would this concubine intentionally make the emperor uneasy? This concubine is really acting for the emperor. Think about it. What a vicious thing that demon star is, if it is delayed, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

The glint in Ming Shengdi's eyes flashed, there must be a reason for the will of the heavens, but now that there are two qualified candidates, how to decide which princess the demon star is.

Concubine Yue saw Emperor Ming's vacillation, she parted her thin lips slightly and said quietly: "Your Majesty, don't hesitate any longer, no matter which of the two princesses is the real demon star, if you accidentally leave one behind, you will have endless troubles." Yes, for the great cause of the country, the emperor must think carefully about it."

Concubine Yue's words were pressing on Ming Shengdi's life gate, Ming Shengdi clenched his fists tightly, bloodthirsty already appeared in his eyes.

Yue Jing'an looked coldly at Concubine Yue's mouth that turned black and white, and couldn't help sneering in her heart. Although she had no relationship with Xia Zijin, she didn't want to see a business that she had just started ruined by Concubine Yue. hand.
