Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 698
Ying Yi could tell her doubts at a glance. He pressed his palm on his leg slightly, and grinned with a sneering smile, "Emperor Liang is indeed timid, but that depends on the situation. Dalai's national power is strong, but now that Dalai is constantly fighting among himself, he naturally has the courage."

Mei Niang's expression was ugly, but she also knew what he was telling the truth, so she sneered, "Can you find out where the master is locked up?"

"Not yet." Ying Yi shook his head dejectedly, with helplessness in his expression, "The old man definitely wanted to use his master to achieve something, and he hid it so hard early in the morning. come out."

"Useless things." Mei Niang rolled her eyes, "Okay, I'll go to the palace to discuss this matter with Concubine Lian first, and see what Concubine Lian can do."

Now Xia Zijin's body can't worry about these things, only Yue Jing'an can make the decision.Anyway, Yue Jing'an spent her whole life planning and planning in the palace before Xia Shengqing grew up, which means she is not some brainless woman, and Xia Shengqing is her son, so it is undoubtedly the most appropriate to ask her at this time.

Ying opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but it was a pity that Mei Niang had already rushed out like a gust of wind, he could only shake his head and swallow the words in his throat, a gust of wind came in along the open door and blew on him, he couldn't help shivering from the cold Shaking, he realized that he hadn't put on his clothes yet, thinking that he had just discussed with Mei Niang naked for a long time, his ears turned red in a way that was visible to the naked eye, and he spat bitterly, "Rogue! "

Mei Niang, who was walking on the road and was about to enter the palace to see Yue Jing'an, sneezed involuntarily. She frowned slightly, raised her hand and rubbed her nose, speeded up, walked to the entrance of the secret passage in Yue Jing'an Palace, and looked around. , I saw no one, so I went in from the secret passage.

Yue Jing'an was holding the Buddhist beads in one hand and closed her eyes to recite sutras, when she heard movement in the dark room, she opened her eyes sharply, and saw Mei Niang's figure, she had never seen Mei Niang before, Seeing her appearing in front of him in such a majestic manner at this moment, she immediately stood up, and the handmaid beside her immediately pressed her fingers on her waist, her body stretched straight, looking ready to go, the meaning on her face was clearly revealed One meaning, as long as Mei Niang dares to take another step forward, she will strike.

Mei Niang knew that Xia Shengqing had told her about this secret passage before, this was the first time she used it, and there were many traps in the secret passage, even with the trick Xia Shengqing told her, she was still disgraced, and finally came out, quickly took out the handkerchief and wiped her body carefully He muttered in his mouth, "Damn Xia Shengqing, what the hell did you trick me into going?"

"Who are you?" After confirming again that she didn't know her, Yue Jingan calmed down and leaned back calmly.

Mei Niang didn't need to raise her head to feel the murderous intent from the person in front of her. She stood where she was, wiped her face, and smiled brightly, "Concubine Lian, I am Xiaoqingzi's friend."

The eyes of Yue Jingan and the servant girl coincidentally flashed a trance, and when she came back to her senses and the secret path was not good, Mei Niang, who was standing at the door of the secret path before, had already held her palm, and approached her affectionately Come.

Such a speed shocked her and the maid beside her, and looked at her with dull expressions.Mei Niang met her probing eyes, and sighed slightly. She knew that she should ask Xia Shengqing for a token earlier, she rolled her eyes, and pulled a jade pendant from her waist. The eldest princess took care of her body, this jade pendant was given to me by the eldest princess, do Concubine Lian know you?"

Yue Jing'an took it hesitantly, while the servant girl beside her was still eyeing Mei Niang, looking at her vigilantly.Without him, Mei Niang's method just now was too weird, she was really worried.

The jade pendant in her hand was indeed worn by Xia Zijin. Yue Jing'an glanced at it, and then her eyes fell on Mei Niang again. Her eyes were in a trance for a while, and she was secretly startled, but she soon woke up, remained silent for a while, and said coldly : "You go back first."

"Master?" The servant girl called out worriedly, meeting Yue Jing'an's warning eyes, she could only retreat unwillingly, and gave Mei Niang a vicious look before she left.

"What happened when you came?" Yue Jing'an knew the news of Xia Shengqing's disappearance, but she didn't know that Xia Shengqing in the hall was pretending to be someone else, so she subconsciously thought that something happened to Xia Zijin.

Mei Niang took a deep breath, "Does the Empress Dowager know that something happened to Xia Shengqing?"

Yue Jing'an's heart twitched suddenly, and the palms on her knees were slowly tightened, forcing out a smile, "What are you talking about? Isn't Sheng Qing coming to court today?"

"That's fake. He's wearing a human skin mask. The eldest princess was worried that Xia Shengqing's disappearance would cause disturbances in the court, so she found someone to pretend to be." Mei Niang didn't care if the person in front of her could accept such a ridiculous statement. , said all at once, "Xia Shengqing was captured by Emperor Liang."

Yue Jing'an remained calm on the surface, but in fact, it was as if a boulder had been dropped in her heart, causing waves to rise, "What did you say?"

"Concubine Lian, whether you believe in the Minnv or not, what the Minnv said is true, but the Eldest Princess doesn't know that we have found out Xia Shengqing's whereabouts, so the Minnv came to the palace to ask you, Concubine, we What should I do?" If the opponent is any force in Dalai, even if it is King Lin, they can directly rush to ask for someone, but if the Emperor Liang makes a move, if they do not handle it properly, they will offend a country.

Now they had to deal with threats from King Lin and Xia Qixuan. It was obviously not a wise move to offend a powerful enemy at this time.But Xia Shengqing was their master, and she couldn't leave her to die, so she had no choice but to go to the palace to see Yue Jing'an, and wait for her to give herself an answer.

"Damn the dog emperor." Yue Jing'an punched the desk, and the hostility that had been restrained by Xia Zijin's appearance resurfaced again. She had never cared about Xia Shengqing's feelings at all in order to restore the country and avenge her. Ming Shengdi After she died, she realized her mistake, and her whole heart was on Xia Shengqing's heart. Now that she learned that Emperor Liang dared to do something to Xia Shengqing, she was naturally furious.

In the next second, she calmed down her emotions, "You stay put for now and continue to investigate, and you must not startle the snake."

"By the way, you came here to ask the Ai family's opinion, but what happened to Zijin?" Yue Jing'an has been very concerned about Xia Zijin since she accepted this daughter-in-law, and now she sees Mei Niang skipping over Xia Zijin and asking her directly. Opinion, immediately guess what.

Mei Niang didn't intend to hide it, she told the truth about the situation.Yue Jing'an rubbed the center of her brows, stood up and went to a side cabinet, took out a box from it, and handed it to Mei Niang, "The thousand-year-old ginseng in it, you take it to her for health."

Most of the ones on the market are ten-year-old, and there are also hundred-year-old ones, but this is the first time Mei Niang has seen them. As a doctor, her favorite thing is to cherish medicinal materials. In his arms, "That girl thanked you, Concubine, on behalf of the eldest princess."

Seeing her like this, Yue Jingan couldn't help feeling relieved, and waved her away.

After receiving Yue Jing'an's instructions, Mei Niang's mood improved a lot. When she returned to the Princess Mansion, she heard Xin'er say that Xia Zijin was looking for her.

However, when she opened the door, she saw Xia Zijin sitting on the chair perfectly. She couldn't help being puzzled. When she stepped forward, she saw a piece of paper full of words on the table in front of her. It was found that the yellowed paper was written on a prescription.

"What's wrong with this recipe?" Mei Niang saw Xia Zijin's angry face, and immediately knew something was wrong.

Xin'er stood aside, shaking her head helplessly.Xia Zijin sighed, "The head of the post station where the Xidi envoy lived died, and a servant in the envoy died with him. The two of them contracted cold one after another, and after taking a dose of medicine, they had already recovered. , who would have thought that he died suddenly that night, please see if there is any problem with this prescription."

Mei Niang picked up the prescription and looked at it carefully, then put it down after a while, met Xia Zijin's hopeful gaze, and couldn't help shaking her head, "There is nothing wrong with this prescription."

But at this moment in Xia Qixuan's mansion, he was standing in the room, the vases and saucers were broken all over the floor, he finally heard that Xia Shengqing was dead, but he didn't expect that a few days later, someone would appear in front of him, it was really annoying.

In a fit of anger, he just smashed these things, and now he was standing there exhausted and gasping for breath, while the young servants guarding the outside listened to the movement inside, all shrunk their heads like quails, not daring to breathe.

At this moment, seeing the steward running over in a hurry, he immediately stepped forward to stop him, "Steward, the prince is in a fit of anger, if you have something to do, why not come back later to save yourself from being scolded."

The steward held the letter in his hand, looked at the boy's expression, and lowered his voice, "Someone just came over and said that this letter must be handed over to the lord, so I just came here. Since the lord is in a fit of anger, I'll come back later." .”

"What are you mumbling about outside? Come in quickly." Xia Qixuan pushed open the door and saw the two of them whispering together, raised his eyebrows immediately, shouted angrily, and the butler shook his hands in fright. The letter almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, he had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he picked it up all at once, and the boy hurriedly stepped aside, lowered his head, and held his breath.The housekeeper hurriedly held up the letter with both hands, "My lord, someone just delivered a letter to the villain at the gate of the mansion, and asked the villain to pass it to you. Please read it."

Xia Qixuan saw that the letter was not signed, frowned slightly, and took it suspiciously. Seeing that he was still looking at him, he waved his hand impatiently, "You go down first."
