Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 731

The guards quickly came over with a downcast man, and when he saw Xia Shengqing, he knelt on the ground with a "plop" and kowtowed, "My lord, spare me, my lord, spare me!"

"What did you do to ask this king to spare you?" Seeing that he panicked like this before he was interrogated, Xia Shengqing's expression turned ugly, which was simply self-inflicted.

The man looked at Xia Shengqing tremblingly, saw the murderous intent in his eyes without any surprise, shook involuntarily, and collapsed on the ground in fright, "My lord, villain, the villain didn't do it on purpose, it was the other party Threatening the villain with his wife, the villain had no choice but to steal the princess' belt."

His intestines were green with regret. At first he thought that even if the badge disappeared, it would not be a big deal. At worst, Xia Zijin would find out in the future and make another piece. Until this afternoon, a decree came from the palace to summon Xia Zijin. I just feel bad.

Although he didn't know what to do when Xia Zijin was summoned by the palace, it was definitely not a good thing for him to come to the palace just after he stole his badge, so he immediately packed up his bags and prepared to run away. But it's better than losing your life.

Xia Shengqing sneered, "No way?"

Seeing the man nodding his head in a hurry, Xia Shengqing suddenly became furious, grabbed the cup on the table and threw it at him, hitting his head immediately, and the blood immediately flowed down his forehead, and soon Blurred his face.

But Xia Shengqing was not shaken by this miserable appearance at all. Even Yingyi and the others standing in the study did not show any sympathy. Death!

Even if he did it for his own wife, but first of all he is a domestic slave of the eldest princess's mansion, a son of the family, and so is his wife. The first priority should be the safety of the master, and he, for his own self-interest, traps the master in such a way. Bad luck, be damned!
Xia Shengqing's eyes were cold, and after expressing the anger in his chest, he continued to interrogate him, "Can you see the other person's appearance clearly?"

"That man was wearing a black cloth to cover his face, and he met him at night, so the villain couldn't see clearly." The man had a severe headache on his forehead, his eyes were blocked by blood, and he could hardly open his eyes, but he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it off. I was afraid that I would make Xia Shengqing even more furious by doing something unnecessary.

"Trash!" Xia Shengqing didn't ask about his wife from the beginning to the end. It was nothing more than that his wife was held hostage by the other party, and he was forced to agree to the other party's conditions.

Although Xia Shengqing could understand his behavior, just as he was dedicated to protecting his wife, Xia Zijin was Xia Shengqing's forbidden property, and no one could touch it. His behavior had touched Xia Shengqing's bottom line, so Xia Shengqing never planned to stay his life.

The man was scolded, and kowtowed quickly again, "The villain knows that he deserves to die, but this is all done by the villain alone, and he asked the prince to let the villain's wife go, she didn't know about it, Please forgive me, my lord."

"Take it down." Xia Shengqing was not interested in listening to his cries and pleadings. When he thought of Xia Zijin's big belly and having to go to the palace so hard to argue with those stubborn old people, he felt a burst of distress.As for what the man said, although his wife was right, she was the cause of the incident, and Xia Shengqing would not keep her.

What's more, there is a saying called cutting grass and roots, if he killed someone else's husband and kept her alive, wouldn't he be waiting for her revenge.

Even if she is not killed, her heart will definitely be separated from the eldest princess's mansion because of this matter. In the future, let alone serving her wholeheartedly, she may secretly find ways to deal with Xia Zijin.

This potential threat cannot be left behind!
Xia Shengqing leaned on the high-backed chair, moved her arms on the armrests forward, folded her palms on her knees, and an extremely cold sarcasm appeared on her tough face, "Yingyi, handle it more cleanly."

Ying paused, nodded, and got up to go out.

When Xia Zijin woke up, she realized that Xia Shengqing had already dealt with that person. She stopped drinking the sweet soup, took a sip, then scooped up another spoonful and fed it into her mouth as if nothing had happened, "Xin'er, I have something to do." Tell the prince, and invite him over."

Xia Shengqing learned that Xia Zijin wanted to see her when she woke up, and rushed over after finishing the last memorial in her hand. Seeing her groping her stomach and leaning on the chair to digest, she laughed dumbly, "What's the matter with calling me over in such a hurry? matter?"

Xia Zijin sat up straight, tapped her fingers on the table, raised her eyes to look at Xin'er, "Xin'er, go and watch outside."

After Xin'er went out, she turned her head to look at Xia Shengqing, and rubbed the slightly swollen eyebrows.Xia Shengqing walked behind her, put her thumb on her temple, and pressed it intimately.

"Emperor, I can't stay anymore." Xia Zijin scratched the corner of the table with her fingers, raised her head, and said solemnly.

Xia Shengqing didn't expect her to say this suddenly, she jumped in shock, looked at her in a daze, and retracted her fingers subconsciously, "You..."

"Sheng Qing, you understand what I mean." Xia Zijin was expressionless. She thought clearly that she was the one who wanted to keep the ten princes with Xia Shengqing before, but now the puppet refuses to be obedient, even if it is a naive child, but he Since he is sitting on the emperor's throne, he cannot be ignored and can only be killed.

Xia Zijin's eyes were icy cold, and his tone didn't fluctuate at all.She turned to look at Xia Shengqing, her mouth moved twice, before she could speak, she heard the loud knocking on the door and Xin'er's panicked obstruction.

"Xia Zijin, open the door! Open the door!" Xia Qin seldom leaves his house, and even more rarely comes to Xia Zijin's courtyard. Until today, he heard a servant talk about the possible connection between the emperor's assassination and Xia Zijin. He couldn't sit still. He rushed over in a hurry.

When Xia Zijin was cold, he didn't expect him to come, and subconsciously glanced at Xia Shengqing, showing a helpless expression.Xia Shengqing gave her a doting look, then went to open the door and invited him in.

"What's going on in the palace?" Xia Qin is not a fool. Xia Zijin's skills are extraordinary. After defeating him, the reason why he didn't directly ascend the throne was the resistance of the courtiers. The most important point was that Da Lai had just experienced a In-field wars can't afford to consume them.

That's why she chose someone acceptable to the courtiers to gag them.But in fact, she still has the final say on matters concerning Da Lai.If it is said that she assassinated the emperor and killed Xia Qin, she didn't believe it, and there was no benefit at all, why would she do it?
He came here now just to ask clearly, no matter if someone bewitched the emperor, or the young emperor really had other thoughts, I am afraid that Xia Zijin will not keep him, a disobedient pawn, there is no need to live .

This point, Xia Qin is very clear.

"Brother Huang came here at this time, are you worried about me?" Xia Zijin looked at her with the corners of her lips curled up, and sighed inwardly.

"Can you spare the tenth brother?" Xia Qin looked at her quietly for a long time, then suddenly spit out a sentence from his mouth, and clenched the palms hanging in the sleeves unconsciously.

She almost forgot that after Ming Shengdi died, there were only two princes and one princess.Xia Tianqin will inevitably feel pity in his heart.Xia Zijin squinted at him, "I am really surprised that Brother Huang would plead for others."

But keeping the emperor would only add to the misfortune. Xia Zijin stroked the bracelet on his wrist and didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing her silence, Xia Tian understood her meaning more or less, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "You are still in power, a little child, if you get in the way, you can't do anything, if you don't worry, you can give me He's dumb or acting like a fool."

Xia Zijin looked at him in surprise, she didn't expect him to say such harsh words, and after a long time, she couldn't help laughing, "Brother Huang, I'm afraid you are here today not to beg for mercy but to offer advice?"

Xia Qin didn't expect her intentions to be exposed so directly by her, so he smiled awkwardly, "Then you can use it?"

Indeed, he didn't want the blood left by Emperor Ming Sheng to disappear like this, but he didn't want to see a disobedient emperor either. After all, he and Xia Zijin are grasshoppers tied to the same boat. If he fell down, he would not be able to live so leisurely.

"Thank you." Xia Zijin pursed her lips, giving up the idea of ​​killing the emperor for the time being. After all, she was afraid that the emperor would be used by King Lin and others, but if she took out the imperial decree left by Ming Shengdi to depose the emperor, she would sit on the throne by herself. position, will inevitably provoke the dissatisfaction of the courtiers.

I'm afraid that even the vassal king guarding Fandi will be dissatisfied. At that time, Emperor Liang will take this opportunity to send troops, and even Sidi, who was repelled some time ago, may make a comeback.

The more Xia Zijin thought about it, the more frightened she became, cold sweat dripped down her back, and she took a serious look at Xia Qin, the gratitude on her face was genuine.

If Xia Tian hadn't reminded her frequently, maybe she was already planning how to attack the emperor.

Seeing that she agreed, Xia Qin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, got up and said goodbye.Xia Shengqing turned to look at Xia Zijin with a gentle expression, and rubbed her head with her fingers, "Got it figured out?"

Xia Zijin nodded and sighed. She was too flustered, and the baby was about to be born in more than a month, so she couldn't help but think too much, so that she panicked first.

Seeing that she looked tired, Xia Shengqing picked her up, walked straight to the bed and put her away, and comforted her: "Don't think too much about these things, my husband will investigate this matter thoroughly, and I will never let you suffer." For the slightest bit of grievance, just take a good rest."

Xia Zijin's eyelids were already twitching, she nodded obediently, and fell asleep before he finished speaking.

Xia Shengqing shook her head, and told Xin'er to come in and keep watch. If Xia Zijin had anything to do in the middle of the night, she would report to him immediately, then got up and went back to the study, calling the shadow guards to her side, and let them sneak into the palace under the cover of night.

Bai Ze was guarding the palace gate tonight, seeing Xia Shengqing coming late at night in a carriage, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Xia Shengqing glanced at him, then walked straight into the palace.
