Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 22 Something Happened to Sheng Qing

The Queen Mother is King Lin's biological mother, and Lin Runyu is her grandson. How could she witness Ming Shengdi, who was born to the eldest princess, demote her own grandson to a commoner?

Ming Shengdi's eyes were calm, and his heart was already short of breath, but he couldn't explain the reason.

"Mother, concubines are not allowed to engage in politics, don't forget." Ming Shengdi squeezed out these words through his teeth. He was already quite afraid of Lin Wang, an illegitimate brother, but the empress dowager always helped him.

"Since the emperor said so, Aijia said frankly that the mastermind behind Lin Shizi's corruption and perverting the law is Aijia. If the emperor insists on demoting Lin Shizi as a commoner, he should first demote Aijia as a commoner!"

The Empress Dowager protected Lin Runyu behind her. Although her temples had turned white, she still possessed a domineering aura. Standing in front of all the officials, her aura was not weaker than Ming Shengdi.

"Is the queen mother determined to fight against me?" Ming Shengdi felt humiliated at this moment, and his hands trembled a little in anger.

"The Ai family doesn't know what the emperor's words mean. The emperor just handles it impartially. The Ai family is the mastermind. You can remove the position of the Ai family. After a hundred years, you will be buried with your father with a piece of papyrus!"

Emperor Ming was even more angry, how could he demote the Empress Dowager to a commoner, I am afraid the whole world would ridicule him for not knowing filial piety!
This chamber was in a stalemate with the empress dowager, and the officials from the prince's faction and the Bai family took the opportunity to add fuel to the flames. Li Kun, the official minister, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty! Absolutely not! If the empress dowager is a commoner, the foundation of the country may be shaken." I hope the emperor thinks twice, and treat Lin Shizi lightly!"

A group of courtiers repeatedly said: "I hope the emperor will think twice and deal with Lin Shizi lightly!"

Ming Shengdi pointed at the sparsely kneeling courtiers, clutching his chest in anger.He is an emperor, but now he is at the mercy of a queen mother, how can he bear it?

Although he had to hold back his breath today, he hated the Queen Mother and King Lin even more. One day, he would trample the mother and child under his feet!
"Prince Lin...you will be exempted from being demoted to a commoner, removed from all positions, and not allowed to interfere with the political power. You can atone for your sins in Prince Lin's mansion!"

Ming Shengdi snorted coldly, threw off his sleeves and got up angrily to leave.In the huge Golden Luan Hall, the courtiers looked at each other, some happy and some sad.

The twists and turns of the battle for the Golden Temple finally came to an end.

Xia Zijin couldn't help but sigh after listening to Liu Xiangqing's account of the whole incident from beginning to end. She originally thought that Lin Runyu was destined to be doomed this time, but she didn't expect that the Queen Mother would even have it.Sure enough, Jiang is still old and hot. She knew that King Lin was the queen mother's son in her previous life, but she never thought that the queen mother would openly protect Lin Runyu in the Golden Temple regardless of the rules.

"That's all, let's take it easy on him." Xia Zijin, still dressed in the clothes of a servant, sighed in the Liu Mansion's study with the doors and windows closed.

"Isn't it? The emperor and the empress dowager are too confused. If I ask the old man to say, it's not too much to kill him!" Liu Xiangqing said angrily.

"Uncle, let's calm down. It's not that we have no results at all, are we? Lin Runyu was dismissed from all positions. From then on, he is a useless person with no title of son. It is expected that he will not be able to make trouble again."

As for the enmity between her and him, it's not over yet, she will take back what he owes her little by little!
The uncle and nephew were talking, but there was a bang on the door of the study. Liu Xiangqing and Xia Zijin looked at each other, then walked to the door, carefully opened a crack, and saw that the round-headed little Huanzi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Little Huanzi, what are you doing in Liu's Mansion? The Princess didn't ask you to guard the Mosheng Garden, but what went wrong?" Xia Zijin asked in confusion.

Xiao Huanzi came all the way here, a little out of breath but very eager, he shook his head and said, "It's not that something went wrong in our yard!"

"what is that?"

"Boss Xia! It's Boss Xia!"

Xia Zijin was stunned all of a sudden, grabbed Xiao Huanzi's arm and asked eagerly, "What's wrong with Shengqing!"

She hadn't received a reply from Xia Shengqing for six full days, and the replies she sent seemed to have disappeared. She was already worried, but when she heard Xiao Huanzi say that something happened to Xia Shengqing, her face paled even more.

"Xia... Mr. Xia is in charge of him, he is infected with the plague!"

However, Xia Zijin seemed to hear a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and he staggered two steps uncontrollably, his lips pale.

"People who came back from Jiangnan said that the floods have been cured, but Director Xia worked day and night, wishing to break one day into two, and then fell ill from exhaustion. At first they thought that Director Xia was just suffering from a cold, but they never thought it would happen. It's a plague!" Xiao Huanzi said, and couldn't help wiping away his tears, he knew that the plague was extremely dangerous, half of the ten people would not be saved, and a good person like Manager Xia didn't know if he could save the day.

Xia Zijin felt a pain in her heart when she heard it. She shook her head in a daze, and kept saying no, it was impossible.

"Isn't the plague only infected by contact with the source of the virus and the patient! This princess clearly explained it in the letter! Why is it still happening!"

"I heard...a guard accidentally cut his hand while burying a corpse infected with the plague, so he contracted the plague. He was afraid that he would be quarantined, so he kept it secret and did not report it. Many people related to him The guards who came into contact with it were infected one after another, even Manager Xia..."

The more Xiao Huanzi spoke, the lower his voice became, and Xia Zijin's face became paler and paler. She clenched her fists, and a part of her heart was already trembling with cold.

No, she absolutely can't just wait like this until the news of Xia Shengqing's unknowing death comes from Jiangnan?She couldn't do it, no matter what she had to go to Jiangnan herself, Xia Shengqing went to Jiangnan because of her, and contracted the plague because of her, she would never leave him behind.

In Qianqing Palace, Ming Shengdi was sitting on a cushion, propping his forehead, he had already suffered from a headache caused by the incident at the Golden Luan Hall in the morning, but at this moment Xia Zijin was kneeling in front of him, and what he said made him even more angry. Another headache.

"Zijin...you are a princess, why did you risk your life to go to a place of evil? Jiangnan is full of people suffering from the plague, if you are infected, what will happen?"

Ming Shengdi was not happy at all, but felt that Xia Zijin really didn't understand the general situation. She went to the south of the Yangtze River and contracted the plague herself. Is the whole palace infected?

"Father, it's not that my son wants to act recklessly, it's just that this plague is so fierce that other medicines can't cure it. If you don't want Jiangnan to become another purgatory besides the flood, you must use special medicine to eradicate the source! "

Hearing that what she said made sense, Ming Shengdi pinched his brows and asked her to continue.

"My son lived in Jiangnan since he was a child. He was infected with the plague once when he was a child. With immunity in his body, he will not be infected again. Because of this, he also knows some ways to deal with the aftermath. Now Jiangnan is in danger. Father The emperor is a body of ten thousand gold, so it is naturally inconvenient to save the people from fire and water, and the sons and servants, as the blood of the father, should solve the father's worries and problems!"

Ming Shengdi calmed down, but was shaken by Xia Zijin's words. He leaned forward, half-believing and half-doubting, "Zijin really knows how to cure the plague?"

Xia Zijin nodded. Although the scholar in the previous life left behind the method of water control, he never learned medical skills. For a long time, Jiangnan was shrouded in the breath of death, until a genius doctor came from Dongying and wrote a good prescription for saving the world. , This turned Jiangnan from purgatory on earth back to the hometown of cars and waters.This prescription has always been respected by Jiangnan, and the plague has never appeared in Jiangnan since then.

"When I was a child, I got sick from the plague because I took the medicine of a wandering barefoot fairy. The barefoot fairy wrote a prescription for my son, and I have never forgotten it. I begged my father to allow me to go to the south of the Yangtze River." , if we can bring peace to the south of the Yangtze River, the common people will definitely not forget your kindness, father!"

Xia Zijin put the credit on Ming Shengdi's head in advance, and his posture was also generous.Ming Shengdi stroked his beard and rolled his eyes again and again. Since Xia Zijin came up with such a good water control plan, he thought that the solution to the plague this time should be true. If he could really put down the plague, he would be solved. A mountain in my heart.

"So, I agree!"

At this time, Ming Shengdi finally felt relieved. Looking at Xia Zijin's firm appearance, he couldn't help but sigh a little. If Xia Zijin was a man, he would definitely be better than those princes who only contradicted him and opposed him. It is hundreds of times stronger, but it is a pity that it is a daughter.

"Going to the south of the Yangtze River, Zijin must remember your status as a princess, and you must not lose face to the royal family of the Dalai Dynasty!"

"I would like to obey my father's instruction!"

Xia Zijin knelt down and prostrated herself on the ground with her expression hidden under her sleeves, but she was a little mocking. Even now, Ming Shengdi still wanted to maintain the dignity of the Tian family. , he is afraid that he is even more afraid that he will bring the virus back and infect everyone.

"This is my token. Seeing the token is like seeing me. If Zijin has any difficulties when he arrives in the south of the Yangtze River, he can bring the token to dispatch people from the Dudu's Mansion." Ming Shengdi handed over a brown copper round token to him. Xia Zijin, engraved with dragon patterns and regular script Ling characters, feels cold and heavy to the touch.

"Thank you, Father!"

Ming Shengdi nodded and said: "In that case, go back and pack your luggage early, I will send a hussar army to escort you tomorrow."

Xia Zijin bowed and retreated, leaving the Qianqing Palace.

She gathered the cloak on her shoulders, and it was going to be winter in a few days, and the nights in Shangjing became extremely cold.

"Let's go." She said to Xiaokui.

The Jiangnan side is still unknown, and she can only reach Jiangnan sooner and meet Xia Shengqing who is in danger only by rushing there.

Winter is coming, it seems that she and Xia Shengqing can enjoy the first snow of this winter in Jiangnan.
