Chapter 727 The Decree
After her soothing, Xia Qixuan's heart gradually calmed down.The matter is a foregone conclusion, even if he burns the house to no avail, he might as well think carefully about the way to go next.

Xia Qixuan watched her leave, and a sense of fatigue surged over him. He moved the chair, leaned on it, closed his eyes and took a nap for a while, then stood up rubbing his head, and opened his mouth to guard him in.

Xia Zijin didn't bother to pay more attention to the movement here. Now her stomach is getting more and more swollen, her whole body is like a blown balloon, her hands and feet are swollen, and she doesn't want to move at all on weekdays, she just wants to lie on the bed sleep.

Seeing that she couldn't eat anything, Xia Shengqing felt even more distressed, so she cooked delicious food by herself. Unfortunately, Xia Zijin's taste was so strange that she couldn't eat anything. Xia Shengqing thought of many ways to no avail.

However, at night, Xia Shengqing was engrossed in thinking about things, and put in too much sugar for a while. Ordinary people would get tired of eating, but she ate just right.Seeing her good appetite, Xia Shengqing bit the bullet, and put nearly three spoonfuls of sugar according to the ratio just now.

After Xia Zijin finished eating, Xia Shengqing sat beside her, held her hands and feet, and told her what happened in the court today.In the past, Xia Zijin must have listened intently because she couldn't go to court, but now she squinted her eyes and dozed off.

After Xia Shengqing finished speaking, she turned around and saw that she was already asleep. She laughed dumbfounded, tucked the quilt up for him before going out, and ordered the shadow guard to tell him what happened in Prince Lin's mansion.

Knowing that Prince Lin's mansion was very quiet and nothing unusual, Xia Shengqing's black pupils could not help but flash a cold light.According to Lin Wang's temper, he has suffered such a big secret loss, if he just settles things down like this, it really doesn't look like his style.

I'm afraid Lin Wang's tranquility at the moment is because he is making other plans, or it is not certain that he is avoiding the edge for the time being.Xia Shengqing glanced at the shadow guard who was kneeling on the ground, "Go down and keep watching. If there is any situation, please tell me anytime."

For some reason, he always had a very bad premonition in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen.

At the same time, inside the palace, the eunuch serving the new emperor saw a black shadow flash past as soon as he entered the room, and immediately screamed, "There is an assassin, catch the assassin!"

The guards guarding outside the hall rushed in immediately, and saw a man in black standing in the middle of the hall with a sword in his hand. Seeing so many people surrounding him, he seemed to have become angry from embarrassment. God go.

The surrounding guards immediately surrounded him and stepped forward. Even though he was strong in martial arts, his two fists were no match for four hands. After a while, he was at a disadvantage and was caught by the guards, who directly removed the black cloth on his face, "Who are you? If you dare to assassinate the emperor, aren't you afraid of being punished by the nine clans?"

The eunuch yelled at the top of his throat, like a duck quacking, and the assassin sneered, "How can a young man with a yellow mouth make the decision? It's ridiculous! I can't kill him today, but someone will kill him tomorrow."

After such a big change happened, the little emperor completely woke up from his sleep, stepped on it wearing only white socks, and walked up to the assassin step by step. The eunuch immediately exclaimed, "Your Majesty, you must not get so close. Be careful."

After the words fell, the little emperor had already stood still in front of the assassin, and asked in a childish voice, "Since you said that I am not worthy to be the emperor, do you have other candidates in your mind?"

"Of course there are, Jiu..." In the middle of speaking, the assassin suddenly realized that he was telling his own words, and immediately shut his mouth.

The eunuch's heart trembled, and he took a furtive look at the new emperor's face. He was going to let the imperial army suppress the assassin and hand it over to Xia Shengqing tomorrow.Unexpectedly, the assassin suddenly bit his tongue and committed suicide, and fell to the ground.

Pressing his guard's finger on the tip of his nose, he retracted his hand suddenly after making sure that there was no sound, and the new emperor frowned, "Search, search for me, I want to see who is thinking To kill me."

The eunuch who had been serving him keenly felt that something was wrong, and the little emperor had been in a daze, and would never suddenly show a lingering aura like now, looking like a real emperor.

Just as he was thinking, a token fell out of the assassin's arms.The eunuch glanced at it and was dumbfounded.The new emperor was thinking about the token, with a half-smile, "Emperor Sister has worked so hard, and now that I am in charge of her husband, she actually wants to order people to murder me. She is really... audacious!"

He suddenly smashed down the token in his hand, with a cold expression, the eunuch knelt on the ground, intending to speak for Xia Zijin, but did not dare to offend the new emperor at this time, so he could only lower his head, showing a submissive look, secretly thinking to wait Turning around, the gate of the palace was closed, and he was going out quietly to inform Xia Shengqing about it.

Xia Shengqing was completely unaware of such a big event happening in the palace, and the eunuch who was going to secretly report to Xia Shengqing was detained by the new emperor before he could go out.

Until now, the eunuch realized that he had been underestimating the emperor.

The new emperor quickly drew up an imperial decree, and a face-to-face eunuch came to the eldest princess's mansion to deliver the decree.Xia Shengqing went to receive the decree in person, with a face full of surprise, this was the first imperial decree issued by the emperor since he ascended the throne.

The uneasiness that had been throbbing in his heart reached its peak at this moment, the palms hanging in the sleeves were clenched subconsciously, panting uncontrollably.

Seeing that Xia Zijin didn't come, the eunuch who came to pass the decree was a little bit critical at first, but looking at Xia Shengqing's indifferent face, he couldn't say this no matter what.

After all, Xia Zijin couldn't hide this matter. Xia Shengqing had just picked out the clothes to wear into the palace, and heard the report that Xia Zijin was looking for him. He was stunned for a moment, and saw that Xia Zijin had already pushed away door in.

"Why didn't you tell me such a big thing?" Xia Zijin asked as soon as he entered the door, his brows knit into knots.Even though she knew that Xia Shengqing didn't want her to worry, the strangeness of today's decree was unusual at first glance, and there must be a trap. Xia Zijin was really worried that he would pass by so carelessly.

Moreover, the imperial decree clearly stated that she was allowed to enter the palace. Obviously, this incident was aimed at her. She hadn't appeared in front of people for a long time. Well, the emperor summoned her suddenly, it must not be a good thing .

Maybe it was just to find fault, Xia Shengqing just went there, and was given an excuse at the beginning, Xia Zijin looked at him worriedly, "Why don't you go?"

It's not that she's afraid of things, it's just that she is inconvenient now and cannot enter the palace. Xia Shengqing went through this journey alone. She always felt that she had no idea in her heart, and she was uneasy, so she subconsciously uttered these words.

After finishing speaking, Xia Zijin lowered his head, unable to bear it, he might not be able to know the emperor's current situation and miss the opportunity.

After hesitating for a while, Xia Zijin let go and let him enter the palace.

It was still dark and pitch black, Xia Shengqing saw the lantern under the imperial study from a distance, he winked at the shadow guards who sneaked in behind him, told them to hide themselves, walked to the imperial He stopped at the door of the study, and politely talked to the guards outside, and the guards went in to make an announcement.

In the imperial study room, the new emperor sat on the dragon chair, looking nervously at the person behind his eyes, "Uncle emperor, is it really all right if I am like this?"

"Your majesty, if you are soft-hearted, it will be your mother and concubine who will suffer. Nine thousand years old and the eldest princess are ambitious. Sooner or later they will attack the emperor and empress. The emperor should strike first." The emperor was confused, but the general meaning was I understand, nodding my head heavily.

Although he was still a little entangled in his heart, in comparison, his own mother was more important, and he couldn't change this.

Xia Shengqing walked into the imperial study room, and felt an unusual atmosphere. His brows were slowly furrowed, his eyes narrowed, his eyes were full of evil spirits, his body was straight, and he bowed his hands at the new emperor with a gentle smile as always. , "I have seen the emperor."

The new emperor was actually very afraid of him, not to mention that he was going to do something bad right now. He was trembling all over, for fear that Xia Shengqing would turn his back on him and beat him up, "Stay flat."

"I don't know why the emperor ordered the eldest princess to enter the palace late at night. What's the urgent matter?" Xia Shengqing squinted her eyes, her eyes glanced over the curtains calmly, and there was a meaningful smile in her eyes.

The emperor's heart trembled twice, and the father-in-law who was standing next to him stood up first, "Nine thousand years old, the emperor summoned the eldest princess, not you. You enter the palace instead of the eldest princess. This is a shameful obedience, and even more so. Resisting the will is disrespectful."

He lowered his head at first, but Xia Shengqing hadn't noticed it yet, but now he took a closer look and found that this person was very unfamiliar, and he was not at all the person he sent to monitor the emperor.It seemed that something happened in the palace that he didn't know about.

"This king is talking to the emperor, when will it be your turn to interrupt! Slap your mouth!" Xia Shengqing rubbed his fingers on his sleeve, and said in a cold tone.

"Nine thousand years old, he is the eunuch who serves me." The new emperor was startled at first, then he remembered what the man said before, and felt that it was a shame for him to be slapped in the face by Xia Shengqing as the Ninth Five-Year Lord. Immediately gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

Although the words are immature, there is an invisible majesty of the emperor in it.Xia Shengqing turned her head, stared at him blankly, and suddenly sneered, "The emperor is really majestic. Your majesty, please come out from behind the curtain."

As soon as he came in, he noticed that there were a lot of people hiding in the imperial study room, all of them were ready to speak. When the words fell, the emperor's face turned pale, and he opened his mouth as if he was about to explain something. Xia Shengqing turned his head away, with a calm expression. looking at him.

Seeing that he was discovered, the people hiding behind the curtain came out boldly. At the same time, figures rushed towards Xia Shengqing like hungry wolves. The scimitar in Xia Shengqing's sleeve immediately flung out the scimitar in Xia Shengqing's sleeve. Let them block it.

"The emperor's gift really took a lot of thought!"
