Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 424 The Seed of Doubt
"Zijin, I have something to ask you." After hesitating for a long time, Xia Shengqing decided to ask. Compared to tossing and turning in his heart, he still wanted to see if Xia Zijin would tell the truth when facing his question.

Xia Zijin was taken aback, "You just entered the palace?"

Xia Shengqing didn't expect her guess to be so accurate, nodded, looked at the disappointment flashing in her eyes, tightened her throat, took a deep breath, "Yes, Zijin, you sent Mrs. Qinglian Palace?"

"That's right." Xia Zijin didn't hesitate at all, and told him directly that she hadn't thought about keeping Xia Shengqing secret about this, but she didn't want to tell him herself.

Now that Xia Shengqing asked, she had nothing to admit.Xia Shengqing didn't expect her to be so frank. Thinking of Yue Jing'an saying that she was hiding it from her on purpose, her heart skipped a beat, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You never asked before." Hearing his somewhat reproachful tone, Xia Zijin lost his temper, pulled back his palm, and turned to tell Xin'er to get the hard-boiled eggs.

Xin'er naturally found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between the two of them, so she quickly ran out after receiving the order.

Just when the gunpowder keg between Xia Zijin and Xia Shengqing was on the verge of breaking out, Shen Li was carrying a few plum blossoms picked from Xia Zijin's plum garden and perseveringly went to Jingwu Hou Mansion.

The last time Huang Chenyan learned that Marquis Jingwu beat him out of the mansion, he immediately sent him a letter to express his apology. Shen Li has always been a character who climbs up the pole, so he naturally imagined the scene where Huang Chenyan learned that he was beaten. He felt that Huang Chenyan liked him, so much so that today, as soon as the wound on his face had fully healed, he came to the door holding flowers.

Hearing that the kid who was kicked out last time came again, Jingwu suddenly threw the brush in his hand on the table, grabbed the long sword and followed the butler and went out angrily. There is still yellow dust and smoke in the Shen oak outside.

Seeing his daughter chatting happily with each other, Jing Wuhou felt as if his heart had been shot by a sharp arrow, and he was dying of pain. He quickly stepped forward, pulled Huang Chenyan behind him, and glared at Shen Yue, "Huh! Boy, you dare to work too hard! I hope I won't teach you a lesson."

Shen Yue was startled, just about to speak, backed away quickly, saw him glaring at him, couldn't help coughing twice, his face embarrassed, before he could explain, Huang Chenyan had already stomped behind Jing Wuhou, "Father, what are you doing? Mr. Shen came to my house as a guest, if you are like this, people will be scared away by you."

Before in Liuzhou, in order to save her, Shen Yue did not hesitate to take risks by himself, and even hid it from her. Huang Chenyan was not moved at all, but her last marriage failed. She really couldn't muster up the courage. Marquis Wu called him out, Huang Chenyan thought he would not come again, but unexpectedly he still came, while Huang Chenyan was surprised, a little joy rose in her heart, seeing that Marquis Jing Wu was about to drive him out again, she was naturally I don't agree.

Jing Wuhou looked at her defending outsiders, turned around in surprise, saw the rage on her face, glanced at her and Shen Yue, pulled her aside and said earnestly, "Yan'er, don't you like me?" Is this a bastard?"

"Father, what nonsense are you talking about! My daughter was almost humiliated in Liuzhou before, but it was Mr. Shen who saved me. How can you drive him out now." A blush that he didn't notice appeared on Huang Chen's face, and he opened his mouth to argue .

Looking at her like this, Marquis Jingwu knew that his daughter might be tempted. He also remembered that she swore in front of Ming Shengdi that she would marry a wife. She was afraid that she would not marry, but now she suddenly fell in love with the man. Heart, I don't know if Mr. Shen knows about this.

After thousands of turns in his mind, Jing Wuhou came up with a good idea for the test, and immediately squinted his eyes and laughed, "So that's the case, if this is the case, it's really Dad's fault, you didn't say it earlier, Daddy was called out last time, if it didn’t work, he saved you, so I must give him a good impression.”

"Yan'er, remember, you know how to make plum cakes, why don't you make a plate, and thank him very much." Jing Wuhou rolled his eyes and found an excuse to send Huang Chenyan away.

Huang Chenyan didn't know why he looked at Marquis Jingwu, surprised that he suddenly became so enthusiastic, and when he was about to speak, he pushed her twice, urging her to go quickly. Go to the kitchen.

Standing at the door, Shen Li looked at Huang Chenyan's leaving back, feeling very anxious, thinking that she had been persuaded by her father, she refused to see him, and didn't dare to go in rashly, so she could only stand at the door and watch eagerly. .

Jing Wu Hou looked back and saw him staring at his precious daughter like a watchman, his expression sank, he walked up to him, looked him up and down, and told him to come in.Shen Yue thought that he would be beaten, but he didn't expect to be invited in, and at the same time he walked in quickly while being stunned.

Shen Yue was worried, for fear that Jing Wuhou would suddenly turn around and peel off his skin, subconsciously stretched his palm into the jacket, touched the plum blossom in his bosom, shivered, and quickly withdrew his hand, following him with a low eyebrow. behind.

When he arrived at Xiaohua Hall, Marquis Jingwu sat on the chair at the top first, then raised his jaw towards the chair on his right, "Young Master Shen, sit down."

For his sudden kindness, Shen Li was flattered, and sat down beside him, sitting upright, his butt just touched the chair, looked at Jing Wuhou with a smile on his face and shouted, "Uncle."

Marquis Jingwu looked him up and down, frowning from time to time, seeing that he was dressed luxuriously, obviously not from a poor family, he felt relieved, "I don't know what Mr. Shen's family is doing?"

Seeing him open his mouth to inquire about his family's situation, Shen Li was surprised and delighted at the same time, just as he was about to answer, he saw Huang Chenyan stepping in, followed by a maid carrying a plate.It turned out that after she left, she was worried that Marquis Jingwu would attack Shen Yue, so she sped up the speed of making pastries and rushed over.

At this time, Xia Zijin was covering Xia Shengqing's face with a peeled egg in the Consort's Mansion.Seeing her focused expression, Xia Shengqing's heart moved slightly, and the discomfort in her heart subsided.After all, he had a guilty conscience and was embarrassed to argue with Xia Zijin, so he changed the subject just now, but the two did not quarrel.

Xia Zijin looked up, and saw him staring at him intently, took a deep breath involuntarily, put down the egg, and helped him to lie down on the bed.

It was still early outside, so naturally he would not go to bed so early in the past.But since Xia Zijin lost her body, she had to take a nap after lunch, otherwise, she would not be able to cheer up all afternoon.Xia Shengqing also fell asleep with her.

Xin'er opened the door and went out, and stood guard at the door. From a distance, she saw Rong Yu hiding outside the yard and watching. When he approached, Xin'er saw his bloodshot pupils, and was startled, "My lord , you are?"

"It's nothing, I'm just here to take a look. Since Zijin has rested, I'll come back tomorrow." Rong Yu looked sideways and stopped her from going in to wake Xia Zijin.After struggling in the room for so long, he mustered up the courage to ask Xia Zijin for an interview and tell her what happened.

Unexpectedly, it happened that she happened to be taking a nap, Rong Yu was inexplicably relieved, turned around and left quickly.

Xin'er looked at his back, and then thought about his irrelevant words, she shook her head involuntarily, she really couldn't figure out his intention of suddenly coming and leaving.Zhenwen squatted on the tallest peach tree in the yard, watching her puzzled face when she was talking to Rongyu, and couldn't help sighing.

Because he had served by Shizi's side before, and seeing him come back with a dark face, driven by curiosity, he went to Brother Yuan who was still protecting him personally to ask why.

The other party naturally refused to say more, but in view of the friendship between the two, he still quietly revealed a little bit of Yu.

Rong Yu came and went in a hurry, Xia Zijin didn't know that he had been here, and Xin'er accidentally mentioned something in the evening, she didn't know. Thinking of the sudden wound on Xia Shengqing's face, she paused while biting the egg, Called Zhenwen out and asked him if he knew why Xia Shengqing was injured.

True text was not concealed, Xia Zijin chewed the egg in his mouth, heard that the wound was beaten by Rong Yu, almost bit his own tongue, swallowed the chicken rice in his mouth, waved Zhenwen to back down, hesitated After a while, she got up and asked Xin'er to help her put on her coat, and was going to ask Rong Yu face to face.

Xin'er hurriedly took the cloak hanging on the shelf and tied it for her, and helped her to go out.Fortunately, the wing room is not too far from the main courtyard, just walk through a small path.As soon as Xia Zijin came out from the flowers, he saw Rong Yu sitting in the square pavilion in the middle of the yard, without a coat on his body, as if he didn't notice the cold in the air.

Xia Zijin felt strange, and hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Rongyu, why are you..."

Rong Yu was hesitating and struggling whether to tell Xia Zijin what he had investigated, and worried that Xia Zijin would think he was deliberately provoking after he said it, so he heard Xia Zijin's voice, thinking he was hallucinating, and subconsciously turned around , and saw Xia Zijin standing a meter away from the pavilion, looking at him worriedly.

"Zijin, why did you come here suddenly?" Rong Yu was stunned, recovered his senses, opened his mouth quickly, and walked up to her.

The doctor specifically ordered Xia Zijin not to blow the wind, so that as long as she went out on such a day, everyone would be very nervous, for fear that she would catch a cold or catch the cold.Rong Yu was no exception, and subconsciously pulled her into the house.

Xia Zijin took a step back slightly to avoid his movements. Only then did Rong Yu wake up, apologized, and led him into the room, then closed the door.In the middle of the room is a large smoker with interlaced silver petals, which warms the whole room.

Rong Yu personally poured a cup of hot tea and pushed it to her. Seeing her take a sip from the cup, he breathed a sigh of relief.
