Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 708 The Instigated Troublemaker

Mei Niang had a gloomy face after she came back from the Red Sleeve Mansion. The people in the mansion saw her like this, they were curious but they didn't dare to ask, so they could only avoid her silently.

Rumors that Xia Zijin was released quickly spread throughout the capital.Lin Runyu didn't expect that Xia Zijin would directly announce this matter, her face was livid with anger, she overturned the table at once, pinched her fingernails into her palm, and said bitterly, "Xia Zijin! You are really calculating!"

But this emotion only lasted for half an hour, and Lin Runyu found a solution after a short period of anger.Seeing the mess in the house, he immediately asked the servant girl to come in and clean it up. At the same time, he sent someone to send a letter to the steward of the He Mansion. The steward received the letter just after Dali Siqing died. He was busy all day before he was free to go back. Opening the envelope and seeing the contents inside, his expression immediately became solemn.

In the middle of the night, he took advantage of the darkness to sneak out and wait at the agreed place.A moment later, a person hidden in a cloak appeared in front of him, "Master has ordered, he will find a way to solve this matter, so you..."

The butler hastily put his ears closer to listen carefully, then nodded his head heavily, "This subordinate will definitely take care of this matter."

Shi Shiran, the messenger, left and went back to report the news to Lin Runyu.

Just when Xia Qin and the others thought that the matter could be resolved reasonably, another relative rumor quickly spread.

The only way is that the reason why Dali Temple Minister died was entirely a play made by Rong Shizi, but in fact it was to kill people, otherwise why Dali Temple Qing died of poisoning, but he didn't die?It was a bitter trick to divert everyone's attention.It has to be said that the person who spread the word said it seriously, and the people around him couldn't believe it.

But there were still people who believed in Rongyu. After all, Rongyu led the army to defeat Xidi, he was a hero of Dalai, and he was also handsome. Speaking of which, he had won the hearts of many young girls, and they naturally spared no effort to defend him.

For a while, there were different opinions in the capital.Xia Zijin leaned on the soft couch with a headache, pointed at the table, quickly calculated, and then ordered Zhenwen to find out where the news leaked from.I didn't expect that as soon as she found a way to stop this matter, someone would use the same method to fight back. What a coincidence!A sneer escaped from the corner of Xia Zijin's lips involuntarily.

As soon as Zhenwen left, the butler came over in a panic, saying that the wife of Dali Siqing came with a pair of children to seek justice from her.Xia Zijin was already very impatient, but now she sees people coming to make trouble, a cold light flashes from her dark eyes, she tells Xin'er to set up the screen, then turns around and goes back to lie down on the bed.

Dali Siqing's wife came in with a pink and jade-carved doll in one hand. As soon as she came in, she gave a big gift to Xia Zijin behind the screen, and started crying, "Princess, my husband is dedicated to the country. He was diligent and conscientious, and now he died in prison in vain, so I ask the eldest princess to give him justice!"

"Get up and talk." Xia Zijin's voice was still weak, and it sounded like she was seriously ill, and it was correct for Xia Shengqing's announcement that she was recuperating in the mansion.

Madam shook her head, "If the eldest princess does not agree to my wife's request, my wife will not get up."

When she made such a fuss, the children beside her also cried, their voices were loud and entangled in Xia Zijin's ears, so shocking that her eardrum almost shattered.Seeing her being so ignorant, Xia Zijin bit her lower lip, and her tone suddenly became cold, "Madam, if you want to kneel, you can kneel, but don't cry, I'm weak and can't bear this bad luck."

The implication is that she is not dead yet, Dali Siqing's wife did not want to cry here.

The madam choked on her, her chest trembled with anger, and she cried out mournfully, "Princess, don't you plan to find out the truth about your husband's death? Princess, are you not afraid of being criticized for treating your subjects like this and protecting your son Rong?" "

Xia Zijin didn't bother to pay attention to her stupid appearance, but seeing that Dali Siqing was loyal and she was indeed troubled by her this time, she said sarcastically, "After hearing a few slanderous words, Madam came to this palace to make a big quarrel. Yelling, do you really think that this palace dare not punish you? You can’t even tell the truth from the fake, and you still come here to seek justice for your husband, idiot! If the minister of Dali Temple knew, I’m afraid he would crawl out of the coffin angrily. "

The madam was pointed at her nose and scolded, her face trembled with anger, and she retorted unwillingly, "True or not? Does the eldest princess know what happened? Just because she is familiar with Prince Rong's son, she can cover up the murderer. What qualifications does the eldest princess have?" Say me?"

"Snapped!"

A severe slap fell on her face, and Xin'er glared at her, her tone full of displeasure, "If you dare to disrespect the eldest princess again, watch out for your teeth!"

The madam covered her face and looked at the screen indignantly, her eyes seemed to pierce through the screen to see Xia Zijin, but she didn't dare to continue shouting, she didn't even dare to speak.The two children beside her trembled even more, holding her sleeves tightly, wanting to cry but not daring to cry.

"Xin'er, don't scare the child." Xia Zijin rubbed the center of her brows, "Madam, if you really want to avenge your husband, you should go to the Yamen to report to the officials, instead of making a scene here and slandering Rong Shizi, you It can be seen that there is no actual evidence, just based on your nonsense, this palace can punish you? If Madam wants to know who killed Mr. He, why not ask the person who instigated you to come to this palace to make trouble. "

Madam trembled, facing Xia Zijin's oppression and the slap just now, she couldn't help becoming more sober, recalling her actions, her face showed panic.Seeing her expression, Xin'er nodded at Xia Zijin calmly.

Xia Zijin knew that what she said just now had an effect, and after hitting her with a stick, she gave a sweet date, "Xin'er, order someone to take my wife and children to live in my house in the eastern suburbs of the city."

"Princess..." The madam looked at her in surprise, and put her arms around her children.

Xia Zijin heard that she didn't seem to have finished speaking, but suddenly stopped, guessing something, and comforted her, "Don't worry, madam, I'm just worried that the instigator behind the scenes will become angry from embarrassment when they see that their goals have not been achieved. Take action against Madam. Although I don't care about your life or death, why are you so childish? I just hope that Madam will think carefully about what I should do after returning."

Dali Siqing's wife's face was flushed with words, she was dying of shame and anger.Indeed, it was only after she calmed down that she realized what she had just done. She actually yelled at Xia Zijin and barged in so directly. No one dared to have half a word of objection.

Her husband is dead, but no one will seek justice for her.Even if there was, she couldn't find fault with Xia Zijin, after all, she was disrespectful first.After thinking it over, she quickly thanked her and took her children away.When she stepped out of the room, Xia Zijin's forceful momentum was released like a ball, and he leaned against the bedpost, gasping for breath, like a drowned fish.

Zhenwen soon came back with the news, and told Xia Zijin plainly that it was the hands and feet sent by Prince Lin's mansion.Xia Zijin licked her chapped lips, took a sip of the warm water from Xin'er, and waited until the tear in her throat subsided a little before saying, "I know, you can go down."

Is it a rumor from Prince Lin's mansion?Such a blatant provocation must be Lin Runyu.With Lin Wang's small and cautious temperament, he can do things without leaving traces, and he will definitely wipe out the tail. Only Lin Runyu likes to play such tricks.

In the court hall, Xia Qin was also very irritable. Looking at the chattering Tyrell standing below, he wished he could step forward and kick him away like Xia Shengqing did last time.However, the group of courtiers at the bottom didn't know anything about the country's honor and disgrace, and they were not afraid of being ashamed in front of Sidi, so they even accused Rongyu of being a murderer in front of Tyrell, demanding that he punish Rongyu severely.

Xia Qin glanced over the veterans, his eyes were full of disappointment.If Dalai's country is assisted by these courtiers who think about food and clothing, I am afraid that it will not be strong for a long time.Marquis Jing Wu, who was sitting next to him, noticed the cold air and disappointment constantly emanating from his body, and sighed faintly.

Seeing that Xia Qin kept silent, Tai Lier finally couldn't help it, and said loudly: "Nine thousand years old, do you still want to cover up the murderer at this time? Is this how Da Lai investigates the case?"

The words were full of contempt, Xia Tian clenched his cheeks tightly to restrain himself from exploding, and squeezed out a sneer, "The prince is joking, the court will naturally investigate the case according to the procedure, no matter what the rumors are, as long as they are not convincing Even if there is no evidence, this king can't wrong a good person, of course, if the prince finds out any evidence and is sure that Rong Shizi is the murderer, he can show it. This king will not cover him either."

"That dagger..." Tyrell opened his mouth and said.

"This king has already asked Rong Shizi before. It is true that the dagger at the murder scene is real, but he did not know that the dagger was lost from the beginning to the end, and the one beside him is a fake. Since the other party can steal it from him Stealing the dagger silently, so it must not be difficult to frame him as the blame."

Xia Qin made a draft with Rong Yu early in the morning, but this is not a fake, Rong Yu's dagger was indeed stolen, but the one in his hand was not made by the other party.But it is true that people did not kill themselves, so there is no pressure for Xia Tian to say this.

Tyrell stomped his feet angrily, and the Minister of Rites standing in front immediately stood up, "My lord, this statement is wrong, these are all the words of Rong Shizi, how can the lord believe it?"

"If he kills someone and wants to get away with the crime, as long as he doesn't admit that the dagger belongs to him, why bother?" Xia Qin saw that he was so ignorant, and challenged himself in front of Tyrell, his tone suddenly severe Come down, "Okay, this king has sent someone to investigate this matter. If Rong Shizi really dares to deceive this king, this king will definitely make his life worse than death!"
