Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 372 Fighting
Seeing her suddenly stern face, Xia Qixuan suddenly realized what he had just said, covered his mouth involuntarily, and after a while, put down his palm with lingering fear, held the teacup, warmed his palm, his expression dimmed, and turned the previous Tell the two of them little by little what happened in the imperial study.

"Since the crown prince is so shameless, what are you worried about? The royal father can't see people taking power. As long as you are willing to hand over the military power in your hand, the royal father will naturally dispel your doubts about you." Xia Zijin picked up a piece of pastry and bit it He took a sip and looked at him with a smile.

Xia Qixuan didn't understand what she meant for a moment, then his pupils constricted, and his fingers resting on the table trembled, "How is this possible?"

Before Ming Shengdi drove him to the feudal land, in order to appease him, he specially granted him military power and let him guard the border there.How could he be willing to get those military powers from Ming Shengdi with great difficulty and just send them out like this.

The wind suddenly picked up, and the sky gradually darkened. Xia Zijin looked up at the dark clouds gathered together, sighed, and the words dripped down with the rain, "Could it be that you still want to go back to the feudal land? What is the military power going to do? Is it possible that you are really planning to rebel?"

A sentence hit Xia Qixuan's heart like a thunderbolt from the clear sky, and his expression immediately became terrified. After a while, he smiled bitterly, "I understand."

What Xia Zijin said just now was probably what Ming Shengdi was thinking at the moment. He stood up, raised his hands and bowed to her, turned around and walked out in the rain.Xia Zijin frowned, "Xin'er, go, don't let the eldest grandson of the emperor get wet."

Xin'er hurriedly chased after her with an umbrella.

After Xia Qixuan accepted Xia Zijin's suggestion, he went out and boarded the carriage and walked directly towards the palace.He leaned on the carriage, clasped his hands and fingers, and strong resentment appeared in his eyes.Thinking of being forced to this point by Xia Qin, he wished he could rush to the Prince's Mansion, grab his neck and tear his face off.

It was noon at this moment, and after Yue Jing'an left, Ming Shengdi felt dizzy, and immediately got up and went to the inner couch to take a nap in the morning.When Xia Qixuan came to see him, Ming Shengdi had just fallen asleep. Xiao Xiazi hesitated for a moment before going out and told him about the situation. Xia Qixuan immediately waved his hand, "Don't worry, Mr. Xia. Since the emperor is resting, the king is waiting here." Just go."

Only then did Xiao Xiazi turn around and go in. Ming Shengdi woke up rubbing his head after sleeping for a full hour.Xiao Xiazi hurriedly stepped forward to help him get up, seeing his hesitation, Ming Shengdi couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "What? What's the matter?"

While speaking, Emperor Ming Sheng looked at the window, and saw that the outside was still gloomy, so he frowned, "Is it still raining?"

"No, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, came earlier and said he wanted to see the Emperor. When he learned that you were sleeping, he waited outside the whole time. The slave looked at him, and he was completely soaked when he came." Xiao Xiazi remained calm. Then he changed the topic to Xia Qixuan.

Ming Shengdi paused when he walked out, and turned to look at him, "Why don't you know how to wake me up?"

Xiao Xiazi immediately laughed, "The servant thinks, it's not that His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, wants the emperor to sleep more, and specifically ordered the servant not to wake you up."

Compared with Xia Qin, Xiao Xiazi's sense of Xia Qixuan is much better, so he can't help but lean towards him in his tone.Ming Shengdi glanced at him with a half-smile, but he didn't pursue him to speak for Xia Qixuan on purpose.He had no doubts about Xiao Xiazi's loyalty, and if Xia Qixuan hadn't done these things, Xiao Xiazi wouldn't have told him.

"Tell him to come in." Ming Shengdi leaned back on the big high-backed chair, picked up the hot tea that had been kept warm on the table to moisten his throat, and then put his hand on the armrest of the chair and spoke.

Xiao Xiazi went out immediately, looked at Xia Qixuan who was still standing outside in the rain, and hurried over with an umbrella, "Your Highness, why are you doing this? The emperor told you to go in, go in quickly."

Xia Qixuan stood outside the whole time, his soaked clothes were blown by the cold wind, he was shivering from the cold, his lips turned dark purple, when he heard Xiao Xiazi's words, his eyeballs moved, and he hurriedly raised his heels.

When he came to the entrance of the hall, he stopped suddenly, took off his drenched jacket, handed it to the guard at the side, rubbed his hands together, let out a few breaths to his mouth, stomped his feet, and put the clothes on his body After the rain had blown away, I lifted my feet to go in.

"Grandfather." After Xia Qixuan entered, he knelt down respectfully and kowtowed.

"Get up." Seeing him coming in with only a thin coat on, Ming Shengdi couldn't help frowning, beckoned, and asked the eunuch to fetch a new jacket, "Put it on first, don't catch a cold."

Xia Qixuan took the jacket and put it on his body, and suddenly felt warmer, and his bruised lips gradually returned to normal.Seeing him slowing down, Ming Shengdi sat up straight and looked at him with doubts in his eyes, "Are you coming at this time? But do you have something to report?"

Ming Shengdi thought about Xia Qin's words afterwards, and felt that he could not believe it. If Xia Qixuan really got Liu Nianxia to the capital, how could he let her fall into Xia Qin's hands.Ming Shengdi was too suspicious, that's why he was used by others, but it was easy to dispel his doubts.Xia Qixuan flashed through Xia Zijin's mind, took a deep breath, "Grandfather, grandson is here to hand over military power."

Xia Qixuan dared to bet on the crown prince's position, what would he not dare to bet on, Xia Qixuan's eyes lit up with flames, madness appeared in the depths of his eyes, and he spoke every word without any hesitation in his tone.What Xia Zijin said is right, this military power is like a chicken rib to him, so, it is better to give it up by himself, to please Ming Shengdi, and it can still play some role.

Ming Shengdi didn't expect him to come out so suddenly, he couldn't help sitting up straight, looking at him suspiciously, with obvious temptation on his face.Xia Qixuan straightened his body and continued, "Although Grandma Huang made a big mistake, my grandson couldn't bear to let her go to the family temple alone. Since Grandpa Huang retained her position, he must be concerned about her. My grandson has no ambitions, and his martial arts can't even match that of Huang Chenyan, so he really isn't expected to be a general."

Seeing him belittle himself, Ming Shengdi suddenly became interested, and seeing him talking about the empress again, he couldn't help but see the cold expression on the empress's face when he took advantage of the night to see the empress after the imperial decree was issued. sighed.Even the queen couldn't understand his painstaking efforts, but Xia Qixuan could see through it at a glance.

At that moment, Ming Shengdi looked at him with a much softer expression. Xia Qixuan kept staring at him, and seeing the change in his expression, he suddenly clenched the palm hanging by his side, knowing that he had made the right bet, and took a deep breath. , solemnly said: "Since this is the case, grandson might as well go to the family temple with Grandma Huang. As for the military power, you should take it back."

While speaking, Xia Qixuan took out a soldier talisman from his waist and put it on with both hands.Seeing that he even brought the soldier talisman, Ming Shengdi couldn't help but sit up straight, frowning a little bit, after a while, he suddenly put on a straight face, slapped the table, "Nonsense!"

Xia Qixuan was startled, and raised his head subconsciously, with just the right amount of fear on his face.Ming Shengdi pressed the throbbing blue veins on his forehead, "The empress intends to murder me, so she went to the family temple to practice. As the eldest grandson of the emperor, you go with me. Do you want to be charged with this crime?"

"Grandson doesn't dare." Xia Qixuan quickly put his hands on the ground, leaned over and kowtowed, with a terrified expression.

Ming Shengdi breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of the teacup, "Okay, the queen will know your filial piety. Keep this military amulet well. Since you know that you are not good at martial arts, you should practice more. No woman can compare, so you can say it."

His words were full of reproaches, but Xia Qixuan was overjoyed, clenched the soldier talisman in his hand, straightened his body, pretended to be unwilling, and shouted again, "Grandfather..."

Ming Shengdi felt his forehead jumping suddenly, stood up and carried it on his back, "Okay, I'm tired, you go down."

The words in Xia Qixuan's mouth froze for a moment, Xiao Xiazi looked at him with a troubled face, and walked up to him with a smile to see off the guests, "Your Highness, come back quickly, don't make the emperor angry."

Only then did Xia Qixuan stand up with a gesture of unwillingness, turned around and walked outside.Ming Shengdi listened to the movement, turned his head to look at his back, his expression was unpredictable, and the palms in his sleeves were unconsciously gathered together.

Xia Zijin couldn't help laughing when she learned that Xia Qixuan came out of the imperial study safe and sound.According to the degree of suspicion of Emperor Ming, how could he deal with Xia Qixuan.If Xia Qixuan is dealt with, only Xia Qin will be left in the court.

Ming Shengdi would never allow such a situation to happen. He must ensure that everything is under his control and let them restrain each other. This is the most correct choice.Xia Zijin touched the pattern on the cup, looked up at Xia Shengqing, "Shengqing, is there anything in this world that you don't know?"

Ever since Xia Shengqing showed his culinary skills in front of her that day, now he even does things like making tea himself.Compared with this, Xia Zijin really felt that she was not worthy of him. If she hadn't been named a princess, she didn't know whether Xia Shengqing would have liked her or not.

Seeing her frustrated face, Xia Shengqing reached out and pinched her cheek, "Zijin, you're thinking wildly again. If you continue like this, let the small kitchen cook for you in the future."

Xia Zijin immediately sat up and refused decisively, "No."

Xia Shengqing couldn't help laughing, Xia Zijin realized what he had just done, blushed, coughed, and changed the subject, "How is Liu Nianxia?"

"Xia Qin imprisoned her in confinement, it must have been so long, she should have figured it out." The prince's mansion is not so easy to advance, but she used that method to force Xia Qin to marry her, and later she wanted to win his favor, It is fantastic.
