Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 554 Rumors Spread
Hearing her words revealed that she wanted to dethrone her own crown prince, Xia Tianqin clenched his palms in his sleeves suddenly, "What are you, worthy of dethroning this crown prince? This crown prince was appointed by my father, what do you have to do?" Qualification improvement?"

Seeing his ferocious face, trying to make the last struggle, Xia Zijin gave him a pitiful look, turned and left without saying a word.

Her reaction made Xia Qin even more uneasy. He wanted to ask her to come back and asked her clearly, but he couldn't hold back his face. His expression was unpredictable, and he didn't say a word until Xia Zijin disappeared into the prison. .

But what Xia Zijin said earlier had already set off a huge wave in his heart.If it was true what Xia Zijin said, then King Lin was a wolf lying next to his pillow, and this matter must have something to do with him.

Now that Ming Shengdi is dead, it will not benefit Xia Zijin at all.Without the imperial decree, with her status as a woman, there is absolutely no way to become emperor.But if the father is still alive, maybe he will be moved by her in the future and pass the throne to her.

No matter which way you look at it, the latter is more cost-effective.The reason why Xia Qin thought this way was because he didn't know that Xia Zijin already held a hole card in his hand.

After Ming Shengdi's death, Lin Runyu made an appointment with Xia Zijin to meet at the original meeting place, and brought along the antidote of the little princess.After Xia Zijin came out of the prison, looking at the sunshine rushing towards her, she couldn't help raising her hand to cover it slightly. After her eyes got used to it, she put down her palm and went straight to the restaurant.

It was the same old guy who received her, compared to the guy who was blind and lost his life, he was indeed much smarter, it seems that there are a little more guests in the lobby.

Xia Zijin stepped on the stairs, went up step by step, opened the door, and saw Lin Runyu leaning on the high-backed chair. Hearing the sound, he opened his eyes instantly, and there was a sharp murderous look in his eyes for an instant, and in an instant, he turned into a gentle one. smile.

Seeing him as gentle and refined as ever, Xia Zijin felt inexplicably disgusted. If she hadn't been unable to see what kind of poison the child was poisoned for the time being, and relied on his antidote, she would have taken action and twisted off his head to relieve herself. .

However, she has endured for so long, and she doesn't care about enduring some more afterwards.It's just that Bai Pingting didn't expect that Bai Pingting would still be a dog in this life. Fortunately, she originally thought that if Bai Pingting was willing to do things for her and atone for her past life's sins, it would be okay if she spared her life.

But I didn't expect that she would be so bold and continue to do these two-sided things. If this is the case, she doesn't have to live anymore.

Xia Zijin's eyes flashed fiercely, and she sat down on the seat opposite Lin Runyu, held up the teacup and sniffed it, then turned to look at a plate of delicately carved carp on the table, "My son, I want to invite this princess Meal?"

"Yuyuelongmen is a new dish in this restaurant. In my opinion, there is nothing more suitable for this dish than serving the princess. Why don't you try it?" Lin Runyu thoughtfully picked up the jade chopsticks on the side, He took a piece of fish and put it in the plum blossom jade bowl in front of her.

Xia Zijin glanced down, took a sip of tea, and did not move his chopsticks, "Your Majesty, are you comparing this princess with a dish? No matter how beautiful this dish is, it will end up in someone else's stomach."

She sighed and blinked at Lin Runyu.Lin Runyu didn't expect her to interpret this dish in such a way. Knowing that she misunderstood what she meant, she didn't continue to force her to taste it, "This is the first time I've heard what the princess said. Anyway, since the princess doesn't like fish, it's fine." gone."

Seeing that he had chosen a reason to step down the steps for himself, Xia Zijin didn't expose it, nodded with a smile, and asked for the antidote directly, "My lord, this princess came this time for the pill in my hand. Weak, but can't bear the crime."

In this matter, Lin Runyu did not shirk, and readily took out the antidote and handed it to her.

Xia Zijin didn't even look at it, she just stuffed it into her sleeve, with a smile on her face.It's just that the smile is a little bit real and a little bit fake, and both of them know it well.

Xia Shengqing waited in the mansion for a while, and finally waited for her to come back, and rushed to meet her. She took out a white jade bottle from her sleeve and stuffed it for him. There was a sound in his ear, "This is the antidote, Sheng Qing, you can find someone to see if there is a way to find out what the antidote is made of."

"Okay, leave this to me, go back and lie down quickly." Xia Shengqing held her back, feeling as if she was holding a piece of ice, and subconsciously shook her, her fingers clenched instantly, not allowing Xia Zijin to break free .

Seeing that her face was a little paler than when she went out before, Xia Shengqing couldn't help feeling distressed.

The next day was the day of Ming Shengdi's funeral. The queen rushed back on the day of Xiao's Ming Shengdi's funeral. She has been guarding the mourning hall for the past few days, looking haggard. Xia Qixuan also rushed back to the capital to go to Ming Shengdi's funeral Filial piety before.

A group of ministers were all dressed in hemp and filial piety, standing in front of the court hall.Xia Zijin was dressed in white linen and stood in front of her. Her face was pale and bloodless, and she looked like she was on the verge of falling. At first glance, people felt that she was overly sad.

The queen even looked like she had lost her soul, and all the concubines who had no children were forcibly suppressed and asked to be buried with them.When Ming Shengdi built the coffin and went to the emperor's mausoleum, the empress suddenly asked to be buried with the emperor.

Such a move shocked the government and the public, and all the ministers knelt on the ground, begging her to take back her order.The queen looked affectionately at the coffin of Holy Emperor Ming, and her expression became firm, "My palace has made up my mind, so you don't need to persuade me anymore."

Even Xia Zijin didn't expect that she would make such a move, which is really surprising.But there has never been a precedent for the mother of a country to be buried with her. This matter is really...

However, when she was deep in thought and in a dilemma, the queen's gaze fell on her, "Princess Pearl, I beg you."

The four words were spoken firmly and slowly, as if she had exhausted all her strength in her life.Xia Zijin looked up, and saw the great sadness hidden under her calm face, finally nodded, and a slight smile appeared on the queen's face.

All the courtiers were mourning unceasingly. Xia Qixuan looked at the queen's figure in bewilderment, and his teeth were clenched. He really didn't understand why the queen would take this step. He originally thought that after returning to Beijing, he could win the queen. Bless, now this idea is directly ruined by her request.

It's just that on such occasions, no matter how many doubts he has, he can only suppress them.

The emperor and empress died, the whole country mourned, and everything stopped.Xia Zijin rested for three days, and on the third day, he elected Xia Qixuan to succeed him.However, there were constant voices of opposition in the court, and there were even remarks about the crown prince still alive.

At the same time, another rumor spread quietly, only saying that the crown prince was framed by an adulterer, and it was the concubine Lian in the palace who actually killed Ming Shengdi, because she was actually the concubine of the former emperor and stayed in the palace. It is for revenge.

Xin'er heard these words in the market place, the young man who spoke seemed to be telling the truth, and the audience was incited, and they all nodded along.Xin'er wanted to come forward to argue, but because she was alone and dressed as a woman, it would be disreputable to argue with these men, so she could only swallow the words in her mouth, turned back to the house, and told Xia Zijin about it.

Xia Zijin was embroidering a purse, and seeing the silhouette of a mandarin duck on it was about to appear, when she heard his words, she shook her finger, and the sharp needle pierced her finger, she said "ah", hurriedly put down the embroidery, and murmured Finger, looking at the blood flowing out of it, frowned.

Xin'er hurriedly took out the veil, spread it out, squatted in front of Xia Zijin, and tied the veil on her hand, "Princess, take a rest, stop embroidering, it's getting dark outside, this servant will bring you some Come eat."

"Go." Xia Zijin glanced at the blood-stained purse on the corner of the table, feeling a little regretful, frowning and thinking about how to deal with the blood.

Xia Shengqing also heard about those rumors, although she didn't know who spread them.But Yue Jing'an's identity alone is enough to make people criticize.After all, it sounds more believable to say that it is the former demon concubine's revenge than killing the father with his own son.

Regardless of whether this is true or not, someone will definitely take advantage of these rumors to attack Yue Jing'an.And the first one who couldn't hold back was the queen mother.The Empress Dowager wanted her son to ascend the throne, but seeing Ming Shengdi just died and the throne was vacant, her originally silent mind revived again, after thinking for a while, she took the eunuch and mother all the way to Yue Jing'an's palace.

Seeing the menacing queen mother, Yue Jingan couldn't help but support her forehead, "Why is the queen mother here free to come here?"

"Concubine Lian, can you hear the rumors outside clearly?" The queen mother narrowed her eyes, and her wrinkled face showed some viciousness.

Yue Jing'an was taken aback for a moment, but then disdain appeared on her face, "Could it be possible that the queen mother actually believed those nonsense? It is true that I was once the emperor's concubine, but before I entered the palace, the emperor had I know it clearly."

"If I really want to take revenge, I have been in this palace for more than 20 years, and there are many opportunities. Why don't I do it and have to delay until today?" Yue Jing'an has already prepared countermeasures, she wants Ming Shengdi to die After thinking for more than 20 years, she finally got what she wanted. How could she not be ready for these excuses, so that others could catch her?

Seeing that her words were sharp and sarcasm, the Empress Dowager fell silent for a moment, unable to utter a single word of the speech she had prepared earlier.

After a while, she smiled awkwardly, "You're not bad, it's Aijia who is impatient. According to you, those words are all nonsense, and you are framed?"

"The empress is clearly aware." Yue Jing'an agreed, "I have always served the emperor wholeheartedly. I really don't know what those people have in mind to slander the concubine in such a way. I really can't argue with it, and I beg the empress to give the concubine justice. .”

She squeezed the handkerchief, her eyes became moist, and she looked extremely wronged.
