Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 79 Xia Shengqing's Counterattack
"Reporting to the emperor, this servant has just carefully smelled the scent of Miss Wenrui'er, and she smells a heavy smell on her body, and the blood vessels in her neck clearly show a faint red line, which shows that she is indeed taking medicine. Taking an aphrodisiac drug will lead to the previous thing."

"That's it. Eunuch Xia himself said that Rui'er had taken the aphrodisiac, so he should confess to the emperor soon." Concubine Yue raised her eyebrows, admitting to Xia Shengqing very quickly.

"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry to convict the slave, the slave hasn't finished yet." Xia Chengqing smiled lightly and continued, "According to Miss Rui'er's symptoms, if the slave guessed correctly, the aphrodisiac that Miss Rui'er took It must contain a lot of ylang-ylang flowers. The peanuts are pure white and can be used as ornamentals, but the stamens contain aphrodisiac ingredients. Planting one plant indoors can already have a subtle effect."

He paused, his hands were tied behind his back, but his back was still straight.

"And the aphrodisiac that Miss Rui'er takes needs to be refined from tens of thousands of ylang-ylang flowers to make such a small amount. Ylang-ylang flowers are precious things, and one plant is already worth ten thousand gold, and there are ylang-ylang flower seeds in the palace. , only concubines of the first rank and above, how can a servant have such a precious thing?"

Concubine Yue frowned, she didn't expect Xia Shengqing's nose to be so strong, she just asked Xiang'er to give Rui'er a little medicine, but he could smell the ingredients inside.

I only heard Xia Shengqing continue: "Could it be possible that this slave can still hang around in the palace of the first-rank concubine every day, go to great lengths to steal ylang-ylang seeds, and then work tirelessly to plant thousands of ylang-ylang plants, just to refine aphrodisiacs?"

What Xia Shengqing said made sense. Ming Shengdi stroked his beard and nodded. Apart from working by his side, Xia Shengqing was in Princess Mingzhu's Mosheng Garden, and there were only a handful of times when he was alone in other places in the palace. is clear.

If Xia Shengqing didn't make this aphrodisiac, does it mean that this matter has nothing to do with Xia Shengqing?

Hearing Xia Shengqing's eloquent and powerful analysis of him, Concubine Yue became a little flustered and snorted softly, "Even if you didn't make the medicine, you bought it. As the emperor's personal eunuch, naturally there are many medicines." It's an opportunity to go out of the palace to do business, so it's possible that you are easy to be fooled when you are the palace and the emperor?"

"Your servant also said just now that a single ylang-ylang plant is worth ten thousand gold. How can I, my servant, save so much money from the salary in the palace just to buy a bottle of aphrodisiac?" Xia Shengqing smiled. Shaking his head, he looked at Ming Shengdi frankly and said, "All the slaves are bestowed by the emperor, the emperor naturally knows how much money the slave has, let alone..."

Xia Shengqing paused for a moment, her eyes flashed faintly.

"What's more, the Yilan flower is a flower species in the Western Regions, and the folks don't have it. This thing can only be owned by the palace. Since it is not a slave's thing, and it appeared on Miss Rui'er, whose aphrodisiac is it? , the servant dare not say..."

Xia Shengqing's words were hesitant to speak, but the meaning could not be more obvious.He just said that the only concubines in the palace who can distribute the ylang-ylang seeds are first-rank concubines, and the Yue Guifei happens to be first-rank, and the aphrodisiac appeared in her palace, acting on her maids, among them, there may be a thousand threads Thousands of connections.

Ming Shengdi understood the deep meaning of Xia Shengqing's words, and turned his eyes to stare at Concubine Yue, the pupils of which were as dark as a dragon's bell were somewhat inquiring.

Concubine Yue frowned, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although I have ylang-ylang seeds in my order, I never asked anyone to plant them, let alone make such obscene things! "

"The first-rank concubines in the palace now are the imperial concubine, the empress, the virtuous concubine and the moral concubine. Forgive me for being bold, the other empresses obviously have nothing to do with this matter, only the noble concubine is inseparable from this matter. related."

"Your Majesty said just now that the slave drugged your court lady, but now it seems untenable. Since the slave has no medicine at all, how can he drug Miss Rui'er? What's more, there are so many guards in the palace, Rui Er If the girl is being coerced by the servant, why didn't she yell, it's possible that the entire Yikun Palace's servants can't make up for it."

Xia Shengqing ticked off the aphrodisiac and Yue Guifei in a few words, looked at Yue Jing'an's smiling silence and Ming Shengdi's dark clouds, and continued: "The servant is pure and innocent, and has absolutely no dirty thoughts. En married the princess to the servant, the servant is already grateful, and will only serve and take care of the princess wholeheartedly in this life, and will definitely not have any other thoughts, and hope that the emperor will learn from him, and return the servant's innocence."

Ming Shengdi nodded, and the doubts about Xia Shengqing in his heart were eliminated, but the aphrodisiac became a thorn in his heart. His gloomy eyes rolled on Concubine Yue, and Xia Shengqing's words were vivid in his ears. Could it be that the imperial concubine is really making aphrodisiacs in private...

Yue Jing'an stood quietly at the side for a long time, and was very pleased to hear that Xia Shengqing cleverly proved her innocence in a few words. Seeing Ming Shengdi's gloomy face and pursing her mouth, it was bound to give him doubts about Concubine Yue. Add a fire to it.

"Your Majesty, according to my concubines, sister Yue doesn't look like such a ridiculous person. Even if the emperor spends more time with my concubines these days, sister Yue is a generous person, and she definitely won't make such low-brow things. , let's fight for favor..."

Her words seemed to be good for Concubine Yue, but she turned a corner and described Concubine Yue's unwillingness to be lonely. Everyone knew that Concubine Yue was jealous, so how could she be magnanimous.

Xia Shengqing and Yue Jing'an looked at each other, and said: "Your Majesty, according to what my servants have heard, Yilanhua has very powerful medicinal properties after being prepared. In the Western Regions, it is often used to flirt with young and middle-aged men, which can add interest. Although the Emperor is still The spirit of the dragon bone is much more sensitive to the body, if it is contaminated with such a strong drug, it may extremely damage the dragon body."

Ming Shengdi's hand on the chair has already had blue veins. After Xia Shengqing and Yue Jing'an's instigation, he has already planted doubts about Concubine Yue in his heart. Now, listening to Xia Shengqing's words so carefully, the anger in his heart has gradually faded away. swell.

He understands that he is old, and sometimes it is really difficult to do that kind of thing. If the imperial concubine made an aphrodisiac and planned to use it on him, could it be that he already thinks he can't do it?
"Your concubine..." Ming Shengdi gritted his teeth and said, "You tell me honestly, is the medicine yours or not!"

Concubine Yue knelt down in front of Ming Shengdi with a plop, and cried out: "The concubine is wronged! The concubine loves the emperor, and she also envies that the concubine Lian is now more sympathetic to the emperor, but everyone knows that the concubine loves the emperor. , how could you use something like that to harm the emperor!"

Xia Shengqing smiled, and said neither salty nor indifferent: "If the imperial concubine didn't use aphrodisiacs to fascinate the emperor and compete for favor, could it be possible to use them on others?"

As soon as these words came out, Ming Shengdi became hostile in an instant. No man could tolerate his wife and concubine Hongxing cheating, let alone an emperor who is above ten thousand people.Even if it was just a guess, it was enough to make the suspicious Emperor Ming show a bloodthirsty look.

"Grandpa Xia, please don't speak nonsense. Sister Yue is a noble concubine. She should be virtuous, virtuous, beautiful and obedient. She will never have an affair with others." Yue Jing'an bit the word adultery seriously, and Ming Shengdi's big palm rested on the chair. As soon as it was tightened, there was only a click, and the armrest had cracked a crack.

Concubine Yue's forehead was dripping with sweat. She originally thought that dealing with Xia Shengqing was an easy task, but she didn't expect that instead of killing Xia Shengqing, she would steal everything and put herself in danger.

She glared at Yue Jing'an with her long and narrow eyes, and hated her so much. This bitch can always provoke Ming Shengdi's heart with a few words. If the time comes, she will let her taste what it means to be overwhelmed with pain!

"Your Majesty! This concubine is sincere to you. Don't be fooled by other people's words!" The noble concubine Yue wailed, and knelt down in front of Emperor Ming, "Concubine has served you for decades. Can't you trust the concubine? Since the matter with Mr. Xia was a misunderstanding, the concubine doesn't know anything about how the aphrodisiac came about!"

After all, Concubine Yue's eyes flashed, she turned around and pointed at Rui'er in an instant, "It must be this girl! I don't know when I stole the seeds from the storeroom to make an aphrodisiac. What do you want to use it for? Right place!"

Rui'er was suddenly pointed out by Concubine Yue, her face paled, she knelt down and cried out in fear, "Your Majesty! Empress! There are no servants!"

All plans are arranged by Concubine Yue, and the aphrodisiac is also the private property of Concubine Yue hidden in the warehouse, but now Concubine Yue sees that the momentum is not right, so she wants to push herself out, Rui'er is more disappointed than deep fear .

"You don't?" Concubine Yue snorted coldly, with a grim expression on her face.

"You didn't have that thing, how could it appear in my palace, on you? What's more, it was you who kept yelling that Eunuch Xia molested you, which misled me to seek justice for you. It must be you. After meeting Eunuch Xia and being rejected by him, I came up with such a vicious idea to take revenge on him."

Rui'er felt bitter in her heart, she had served Concubine Yue for a long time, and knew that she was a ruthless master, but she used to watch Concubine Yue harm others, but now it was her turn to be the scapegoat.

"You are such a wicked girl. It is a waste of this palace to love you so much and take care of your family. You let me down so much!" Concubine Yue bit the word "family" seriously, staring at Rui'er with threats in her eyes meaning.

Sure enough, when Rui'er heard it, her expression also collapsed.Even if she denies it, so what, her wealth and life as well as her parents and brothers are in the hands of Concubine Yue, if she reports on Concubine Yue, not only will she lose her life, but her family will also suffer.
