Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 371

Ming Shengdi's face darkened in an instant, and the palm holding the teacup suddenly exerted force, and was about to throw it at him.Xia Qixuan suddenly raised his head, "Grandpa Huang has only one daughter, who was named Princess Mingzhu, and she is the aunt of his grandson. Where did Princess Mingyue come from?"

The implication is that there is no such person as Princess Mingyue at all, so it would be strange for Ming Shengdi to ask him if he recognizes her.Ming Shengdi paused the movements of his hands, took a breath, suppressed the rising and falling anger in his chest, squinted his eyes and stared at him, the corners of his lips curled up a little bit, "You are alert, then let me ask you, do you know Liu Nianxia?" ?”

Xia Qixuan stood kneeling and nodded, "I met once."

"Did I meet once? Or was it you who lured her into Beijing?" Thinking of what Xia Qin said, Ming Shengdi felt that he was being manipulated by others, and he even became suspicious of the sudden assassination.

At that moment, cold ice appeared in Ming Shengdi's cloudy eyes. Xia Qixuan was taken aback. He looked at Ming Shengdi through the bead curtain and straightened his back. I have never seen her before, so how can I bewitch you?"

Ming Shengdi suddenly suspected him, it was clear that someone was framed, Xia Qixuan clenched his palms tightly, his sharp nails dug into the flesh, bringing out a little blood, remembering the smile on Xia Qin's lips when he met him, couldn't help it Gritting his teeth, his expression was ferocious.

Seeing him rebutting himself without fear, speaking clearly, and without any flustered expression on his face, Ming Shengdi frowned involuntarily, stroked the pattern on the wall of the cup with his fingers, and took a sip of tea slowly, "What do you say?" Is it true?"

"Grandson dare not lie." Xia Qixuan withdrew his mind and answered seriously. He was already extremely resentful towards Xia Qin in his heart. He never thought that Xia Qin would dare to beat him up. In this way, the evidence he had in his hands would become completely ineffective. Waste, useless.Taking it out at this time will only make Ming Shengdi believe that what Xia Qin said is true.

Thinking of this result, Xia Qixuan couldn't help but want to vomit blood. Seeing the sincerity of what he said, Ming Shengdi squinted his eyes, looked at him for a long time, and then laughed, "I'm just asking casually. If that's the case, you first Let's go back."

Xia Qixuan heaved a sigh of relief, got up to leave, and when he got out of the palace gate, just as he boarded the sedan chair, he punched the tabletop, wishing he could rush to Xiaqin's mansion immediately, and sew his nonsense mouth shut .

When Yue Jing'an learned that the queen was going to the family temple to lead hair cultivation, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly, took the jade bowl handed over by the mother, and drank the dark concoction inside without blinking. Then he stood up and walked towards the Imperial Study Room.Ming Shengdi was worrying about Liu Nianxia's affairs, his eyes lit up when the guard informed her to come.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiazi on the side sighed slightly. After all, it was the person whom the emperor had been thinking about for many years. If it was an ordinary person, there would be no way to survive after entering the cold palace. However, this Concubine Lian not only came out of it safely, but also It is a great fortune to regain the favor of Ming Shengdi.

Ming Shengdi didn't know that his personal eunuch would have so many thoughts when he saw Yue Jing'an regained favor.Seeing Yue Jing'an coming in, Emperor Ming showed a rare expression of relaxation, Yue Jing'an walked up to him, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to his mouth, "What's wrong, Your Majesty? It seems that there is something bothering you? "

Although she was favored again, Yue Jing'an clearly felt that Ming Shengdi was on guard against him.In the past, Emperor Ming always talked about the affairs of the court directly in front of her, but now he didn't mention a word.Yue Jing'an pinched her cuffs, pretending not to care and asking.

Ming Shengdi glanced at her, intending to ask her opinion, but this matter involves the crown prince and the emperor's grandson, and the matter is of great importance. If Yue Jing'an favors one side, it is easy to give an answer that is not conducive to the other side.Ming Shengdi quickly put away his thoughts, swallowed the tea in his mouth, and squinted at her with a half-smile, "Of course I have something to worry about. , this sudden punishment to the temple, I am a little worried."

Yue Jing'an secretly hated that she was forced to frame the queen this time. She thought that after this incident, Ming Shengdi would hate the queen to the core, but she didn't expect that she would still miss her. It looks like she will be the queen of tomorrow. The Holy Emperor thought too ruthlessly.

After Xia Qixuan returned home, he immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to Xia Shengqing.Xia Shengqing saw the letter on the evening of the second day, and when she saw the contents clearly, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.Xia Zijin was holding the nectar and drinking it, and when he moved his head closer, his face became contemptuous, "Xia Qin is really shameless, if you beat him up like this, Xia Qixuan is afraid of danger."

There is also the matter of the queen... Xia Zijin really feels guilty, after all, the person who poisoned the emperor is still standing beside her. As for why he chose the queen instead of Yue Jing'an, she has never doubted it, if she guessed correctly Well, there must be some relationship between Xia Shengqing and Yue Jing'an.

It's just that Xia Shengqing didn't want to say it, so she didn't ask, and Xia Shengqing wouldn't harm her.Xia Zijin shook his head and sat back in the chair, "What are you going to do? Go back now?"

There was extreme dissatisfaction in the words, and it was not easy to come out to relax. After staying for a day and going back to Beijing, Xia Zijin couldn't help having a headache, rubbed the center of his brows, and looked at Xia Shengqing helplessly.Xia Shengqing folded up the letters, went to the table, picked up a pen and wrote a few lines, put his fingers into his mouth and whistled, a pigeon "flapped" and landed on the window sill.

Xia Zijin immediately became interested, walked forward with a smile, held the pigeon in his hands and played with it for a while, seeing Xia Shengqing rolled up the letter paper and tied it to its leg, then reluctantly let go, "Sheng Qing, you still have such a pigeon?" Doves?"

"You like it?" Xia Shengqing turned her head to look at her.Xia Zijin nodded, staring at him with bright eyes.

Xia Shengqing shook her head, "These are domesticated since childhood, I'm afraid they won't be able to obey you if they are given to you."

Seeing the light in Xia Zijin's eyes go out instantly, Xia Shengqing's heart trembled, and he said, "A few days ago, I saw a pair of parrots behind the villa. If you like it, I'll catch it for you later."

Xia Zijin tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded.While speaking, the door knocked, Xia Shengqing's face sank like a conditioned reflex, and he slowed down when he heard Huang Chenyan's voice.Xia Zijin couldn't help but punched his lips with a smile, stepped forward, and opened the door.

A familiar figure quickly jumped out from behind Huang Chenyan, looking at Xia Zijin with a smile.Xia Shengqing's face, which had just returned to normal, was gloomy again, as if water was about to drip out. He quickly stepped forward, and slapped Rong Yu's arm that was trying to hook Xia Zijin's shoulder. With the other hand, he quickly pulled her into his arms, and stared at Rong Yu eagerly. .

Rong Yu shook the red back of his hand that had been patted, and moved closer to Xia Zijin to pretend to be pitiful, "Zijin..."

However, before he finished speaking, he was pushed out by Xia Shengqing, "Senior Rong, men and women can't kiss each other. If you are so close, if someone else sees you, wouldn't it ruin Zijin's reputation."

Seeing the two of them pinching together again, Xia Zijin quickly pulled Huang Chenyan who was standing aside watching the show, and walked all the way to the yard full of chrysanthemums behind Fenglin.Because most of the villas are maple trees, many people ignore these chrysanthemums.A little bit of flower fragrance was scattered in the air, Xia Zijin took a deep breath, all kinds of chrysanthemums were intertwined, and all that caught the eye was the scenery.

When Xia Shengqing and Rong Yu rushed over, they saw Xia Zijin standing in the sea of ​​flowers, her bright red skirt and jacket complementing the petals, and they couldn't help but freeze in place, their throats tightening.Subconsciously, Xia Zijin turned around and saw Xia Shengqing walking over with her skirt in hand, grabbing his palm.

Rong Yu, who was standing by the side, looked at her unintentional feelings for Xia Shengqing, couldn't help sighing, and gave a wry smile. In the end, he still lost. Even though there was a misunderstanding between the two of them, these feelings still remained unchanged.On the contrary, he wanted to take advantage of Xia Shengqing's relationship with her when there was a rift in his behavior, which seemed a bit despicable.

That night, Rong Yu said that he was going back to the feudal land. Xia Zijin was surprised but also understood.Xia Shengqing was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, then laughed, and hugged Xia Zijin tightly in his arms.

Because the queen was ordered to go to the family temple to practice, Xia Zijin felt guilty and wanted to go back to see her off, so he set off back to the city the next day.

Xia Qixuan got up from his chair when he heard that they were back, and before he even had time to change his clothes, he asked the servants in the mansion to prepare a carriage and hurried to the consort's mansion.Xia Shengqing had just sat down to catch her breath, and before she had time to speak to Xia Zijin, she saw the housekeeper rushing over.

Hearing that Xia Qixuan came to the door, Xia Shengqing subconsciously looked back at her. Xia Zijin nodded, put his hands on the table and stood up, "Since we're here, let's go and have a look together." If there is a way, Xia Zijin still wants to Take the queen out of this thing.

Xia Qixuan came to the door at this time, and he didn't know whether it was because of the queen's affairs or Liu Nianxia's affairs.Judging from the current situation, he is really at a disadvantage.Xia Zijin clenched the sleeves tightly with his palms in his sleeves, and quickly analyzed in his mind the possible dangers that Xia Qixuan might face in his current position.

From a distance, Xia Zijin saw a figure sitting at the table holding a teacup. Xia Zijin followed Xia Shengqing as he approached, and saw the undisguised, or uncontrollable, anxiety on his face.Xia Qixuan obviously regarded her and Xia Shengqing as life-saving straws, he kept holding the teacup with force, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his tone, "Grandpa Huang wants to kill me."

Xia Zijin frowned a little bit, "What nonsense are you talking about?" If these words reached Ming Shengdi's ears, even if Xia Qixuan was alive, he should die.
