Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 693
"It's a good time for the emperor to come here. I am looking for someone to pretend to be nine thousand years old temporarily. The emperor's stature is about the same as him, and he is also familiar with political affairs. I wonder if the emperor can help with this?" Xia Zijin smiled slightly, as if It's because I didn't realize how tempting the words I spit out are.

Xia Qin had calculated a lot, but he didn't expect that she would propose such a tempting condition. He froze on the spot for a while, and squeezed out a sentence from his throat, "Aren't you afraid that I will use this to control the power in the court and replace it?"

"You don't need to be suspicious, but you don't need to be suspicious. Since the emperor has formed an alliance with me, I should believe in you." The smile on Xia Zijin's face widened, and she touched the edge of the table with her fingers, touched it up, and held it. Picking up the teacup, he brought it to his mouth and took a sip, "This tea was picked this spring. It tastes clear. Brother Huang looks like it. If you like it, I will send some to Brother Huang later."

Xia Tian looked at her movements, and his expression became serious, "Your eyes..."

"Oh, I accidentally hurt it earlier, and my vision was a bit blurry, so it's okay." Xia Zijin subconsciously touched his eyes with his fingers, and smiled indifferently.

Xia Qin's heart trembled, and he suddenly became angry, "Nonsense, this matter is close to the eyes, how can it be a trivial matter, but you have seen the imperial doctor?"

"Brother Emperor?" Xia Zijin asked in surprise, and suddenly laughed softly, "If it wasn't for discovering so many things before, I would really be moved. Brother Emperor, are you caring about Bengong?"

"I am your imperial brother, so what if I care about you?" Xia Qin was also surprised by the change in his mood, stared at her in a daze, took a deep breath for a long time, pretended to be tough, and took up the teacup to cover up and drink He took a sip, suppressing the tension in his heart.

Xia Zijin couldn't help laughing happily, "Of course I am very happy, so I will leave this matter to the emperor."

Seeing that her expression didn't look like she was joking, Xia Qin nodded for a while, then remembered that she couldn't see clearly, and said solemnly: "The prince knows about this matter, so don't worry, take care of the baby with peace of mind, the prince still wants to I saw my little nephew was born."

Xia Zijin curled the corners of her lips noncommittally, and after he went out, she slouched, and called Xin'er to come to her, and helped her to lie down on the soft couch.Seeing her dull eyes, Xin'er couldn't help frowning, she quietly spread her five fingers and waved in front of her eyes, "Princess..."

Xia Zijin didn't see any reaction... The result of such a trial made Xin'er cry out in surprise, tears streaming down her face, she looked at her in shock, Xia Zijin raised her head in doubt, and looked in the direction of the voice, "What's wrong?"

"Your eyes..." Xin'er said in surprise, she couldn't stop praying in her heart that it wouldn't be what she thought.

Seeing that she found out about this, Xia Zijin sighed, stretched out her hand, and motioned for her to put her hand into her palm. After grabbing her, she lowered her voice and looked at her seriously, "Don't announce this matter for now, Ben Gong It’s true that my eyes are blind, but it’s not a problem, and it will get better after a while.”

"Princess, what nonsense are you talking about? How can you hide this matter? Hurry up and ask Mei Niang to come and see." Xin'er heard what she meant, but she didn't plan to tell others, and immediately became anxious, and rushed out as soon as she shook her hand. Even though Xia Zijin yelled twice behind him, there was no response.

Mei Niang was very busy with the affairs of the house, and Xia Zijin wanted her to make a human skin mask in a short period of time, so she was so busy that she didn't even have time to sleep. He raised his swollen eyes impatiently, "Who is it? Don't disturb my mother at this time!"

God knows how determined she was to help Xia Zijin hide the matter after experiencing great sorrow and joy, so much so that she didn't sleep for several days before she collected the materials for making the human skin mask. Now is the critical moment of the last step, who It's okay not to bother.

Xin'er said eagerly, "Mei Niang, come with me to see the princess, the princess, she can't see."

Mei Niang's hand paused, and quickly completed the last step. She rushed to the door, opened the door with a "snap", and frowned at Xin'er, "What did you say? What do you mean you can't see?"

After saying that, Xin'er grabbed her by the wrist and dragged her towards Xia Zijin's bedroom, "Oh, Mei Niang, don't ask any more, come with me, you'll know when you go. "

Mei Niang mechanically ran behind her, and was soon dragged by her to the main courtyard, all the way into the bedroom where Xia Zijin was resting, and saw Xia Zijin lying on her side on the soft couch, following their movement to open the door, raised her head Look over here.

Facing Xia Zijin's lifeless eyes, Mei Niang's pupils constricted for a while, as if her heart was being strangled by an invisible big hand. She rushed forward in three steps at a time, seeing Xia Zijin still looking around, completely unaware As he approached, his fingers immediately rested on her wrist, and after a while, he pursed his lips and retracted his fingers without saying a word.

"When did the princess lose her sight?" After a long while, she asked in Xin'er's impatient expression.

Xia Zijin was startled, frowned for a while, then smiled nonchalantly, "Yesterday I could see some white light, but I couldn't see it when I woke up this morning."

At the end, she added, "Perhaps I've been too tired recently, and my eyes can't support it for a while, just rest for a few days and it will be fine."

"Nonsense!" Mei Niang regards her as her important patient, and what she cares most about is her body, especially now that Xia Shengqing's whereabouts are unknown, if Xia Shengqing returns in the future and finds that Xia Zijin is blind, how will she explain?So at this moment, seeing Xia Zijin's attitude of not treating her body as a book at all, Mei Niang was instantly annoyed, and reprimanded unceremoniously, "Who does the eldest princess think she is, if she is blind, she is blind." , if it is not treated in time, is it okay to wait for it? If this is the case, what do you need the doctor to do?"

"Since the eldest princess doesn't care about her body so much, Mei Niang is here to ask for her resignation. What is the use of this princess asking for a doctor?" Mei Niang became more and more angry, she stood up abruptly, turned around and was about to leave.

Xia Zijin was originally worried about her complicated affairs these days, so she didn't want to bother her for a while, and planned to wait for the substitute to be resolved, and then ask her to show him carefully, but she didn't expect that she would suddenly become so angry, and immediately froze. On the ground, when she was about to leave, she hurriedly yelled, "Mei Niang, I don't mean that."

"What does the eldest princess mean? Do you look down on Mei Niang's medical skills?" Mei Niang stopped and looked at her coldly.

Xin'er couldn't stand her attitude of talking to Xia Zijin like this, and immediately called out: "Mei Niang, you are going too far, the princess is clearly worried that you are too tired, so she chooses to hide it from you, if you say that, the princess will be sad of."

Xin'er has been with Xia Zijin the longest time, so she knows Xia Zijin's intentions best, she just thought about it on the way to find Mei Niang, and thinks that she must be doing this in order not to cause trouble for Mei Niang.Now that Mei Niang misunderstood Xia Zijin, she naturally disagreed.

"Sad?" Mei Niang was in a fit of anger, and being scolded again, she naturally didn't have the time to think about the reason, and immediately retorted, "If she knew she was sad, she should have told me about it earlier, so she wouldn't be completely blind now."

"Enough! Are you arguing like this to annoy the eldest princess?" Zhenwen, who had been watching in secret, couldn't help showing up and shouted.

Xia Zijin sighed helplessly, hearing that Xin'er and Mei Niang were silent, coughed a few times, and said weakly: "Mei Niang, I know you are worried about me, but the most urgent thing is the mask. It's not good, at most it's invisible, it's nothing, but if Sheng Qing wants to come back, this house should be guarded by this palace for him."

Mei Niang looked at the gentle smile on her face, she was dumb for a while, and after a long time, she took a deep breath and looked at her with a complicated expression, "I'm not sure that your eyes will be completely cured. It's going to be so serious, now I can only try."

That's right, that's the reason for her anger. Xia Zijin nodded, without any blame on her face, "You just do your best, if you can't see me from now on, don't I still have you guys? After all, nothing will happen.”

Mei Niang nodded, then took out the silver needle pouch from her waist, stepped forward to help her lie down, "Princess, please close your eyes, I will give you a needle to activate the blood."

Xia Zijin closed her eyes obediently, and let her insert the needle. Xin'er and Zhenwen watched the scene nervously. An hour later, Mei Niang wiped the sweat from her forehead and put away the silver needle. , and went to the table to write down a prescription.

Xin'er hurried forward to take it, Mei Niang glanced at Xia Zijin who was already sleeping soundly on the bed, and tapped twice on the table with her finger, "In a short time, the eldest princess's eyesight cannot be restored, Xin'er, this For a while, you have to take care of her closely."

"Understood." Xin'er folded up the prescription, nodded solemnly, got up and sent her out.

Because Xia Zijin can't live without people now, but Xin'er was worried about letting others cook the medicine, so she simply gave the prescription to Zhenwen, asked him to go get the medicine, brought a stove back with her, and lit a fire in the yard to cook. medicine.

When Xia Zijin woke up, she smelled the smell of traditional Chinese medicine through the open window, and just yelled, she heard Xiner push the door in, "Princess, are you awake? How do you feel? Drink up the medicine soon." Well, it won't be good if it gets cold."

Xin'er was just about to hand the medicine to her, but when she realized that she couldn't see it, she immediately changed her words, "Princess, let me feed you the medicine."

Xia Zijin smiled slightly, and never refused. Otherwise, with this girl's temperament, I'm afraid she would have to worry for a long time.After drinking the medicine, Xin'er immediately handed over the handkerchief, Xia Zijin took the medicine dregs from the corners of her mouth, rejected the candied fruit she brought, and said with a smile: "Xin'er, I just can't see, it's not like I don't have hands. No feet, so I don’t have to drink medicine and have to be fed by others, next time I will come by myself.”
