Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 751
"Where did the eldest princess go so late?" The man's voice came slowly from above his head.

Xia Zijin sighed, it seemed that she had underestimated him, this trade move might affect Hong Fu and Wu Yuan, she looked up at him, "Where is Wu Yuan?"

"She has the guts to obey the eldest princess behind my back, so she must be able to bear the relevant punishment. If she is lucky, she may survive." The man said lightly.

Xia Zijin clenched the palms hanging in the sleeves suddenly, and stared at him angrily, with an ugly look on his face.

Just when the man thought she was going to get angry, Xia Zijin's anger suddenly dissipated like a mouse seeing a cat. She stared at him and smiled slightly, "Then I can only hope that she is lucky."

"The eldest princess is really cruel. She was punished because of you. Why did the eldest princess just say that when she found out?" Yue stared at her.

Xia Zijin sneered, "She is your subordinate, you, the master, don't feel sorry for her, so why should an outsider in my palace care? What's more, even if she was punished because of my palace, so what? If she hadn't been watching, she might Ben Gong had already run away.

No matter what this person in front of him wants to do, Xia Zijin can be sure that as long as he shows that he cares about Wu Yuan, he will take this opportunity to coerce himself into agreeing to some conditions.

And in the future, the old trick will be repeated. In this way, only Wu Yuan will be injured.Rather than that, it's better to stop her thoughts from the beginning.Xia Zijin stood proudly where she was, with disdain in her eyes.

The man was blocked by her and had nothing to say, because she was right, Wu Yuan was indeed his subordinate.After a while, he lowered his head and chuckled, "It's really not in vain that the eldest princess can reach her current position."

"Naturally." Xia Zijin was not modest at all, and admitted directly, "If there is nothing else, the palace is going to rest, please leave."

The man had never seen a hostage as arrogant as her, but he himself was first tested by Xia Zijin to the bottom line, and now he is always passive.He took a deep look at Xia Zijin, didn't say anything more, just let out a cold snort, and left directly.

After he left, Xia Zijin sat down on the stool and panted heavily, with lingering fears in his heart, and a worried expression could not help appearing in his eyes.

Even though she knew that the man would not really take her life, the man was her enemy after all, so she might change her mind anytime soon.As for Wu Yuan, she didn't really care about it at all.It's good that Wu Yuan was sent by the other party to guard her, but after getting along these days, Wu Yuan has always been sincere to her. Even though she knew her purpose was impure, Xia Zijin couldn't blame her.

And the reason why she is being punished now, as the man said, is indeed because of her.But after what she said just now, he must not be too embarrassing for Wu Yuan.Xia Zijin sighed faintly, forced herself not to think about it, pulled up the quilt, and covered her head to sleep.

Early the next morning, Wu Yuan came in with a copper basin for washing. Xia Zijin took a closer look at her and found nothing unusual, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He originally wanted to ask if she was doing well, but thought of Yesterday she was caught by that person when she left to meet Hongfu, so she swallowed the words and pretended to be indifferent.

Wu Yuan didn't notice anything unusual about her, her mouth moved and her brows were tightly frowned, as if she wanted to say something, but seeing her turn her head away, as if she didn't want to talk to her, she swallowed the words back in her throat.

Xia Zijin turned her head and saw her with a bitter expression, sighed secretly, and did not explain.Wu Yuan lifted the lid of the food box, and she smelled a tempting aroma, followed the aroma of the food, and her eyes froze immediately.

Lotus Paste Cake, something that Hongfu reminded her specially.Xia Zijin was aroused by the scent, but when she thought of the inexplicable words Hong Fu said, she abruptly stopped the chopsticks she stretched out, and turned to the crystal pig's trotters on the other side.

But now, she was convinced that there was something wrong with this lotus paste cake.She is not a greedy person. After she became pregnant, she ate less. This lotus paste cake was not uncooked by the cooks in the palace.

She didn't use it much at that time, but she just changed the place and thought it was delicious?This is so strange!Xia Zijin sneered, wiped her mouth, and didn't even look at the dish of lotus paste cake.

Now that she found a problem, she just didn't touch it.Xia Zijin watched Wu Yuan put away the dishes, his expression moved, and he smiled playfully, "Wu Yuan, please put away the other things, and keep the plate of lotus paste cakes for me."

At first, Wu Yuan felt strange, wondering why her taste suddenly changed today, and secretly looked at her several times, but now when she heard this, she froze for a moment before laughing, thinking that Xia Zijin was reluctant to eat and wanted to eat the last I saved the ones I liked until the end, so I didn't touch a piece just now.

After Wuyuan left, the expression on Xia Zijin's face sank completely, she gritted her teeth, picked up the lotus paste cake and crushed it in the palm of her hand, and then sprinkled it into the flower vase in the house.

When Wu Yuan came back, she saw that the snacks on the plate were three or four yuan empty.

Xia Zijin paid attention to her expression, seeing that she seemed to be relieved, her heart sank, and a bad thought came to her mind, if there was really something wrong with the lotus paste cake, then Wu Yuan, the person who arranges her meals every day , do you know?

This thought quickly enveloped her whole body, her body trembled involuntarily, a flash of hostility flashed across her eyes, she gave Wu Yuan a cold look, and then realized that this was just her guess, whether Wu Yuan knew it or not Knowing that she couldn't startle the snake, she immediately withdrew the expression on her face.

Wu Yuan didn't notice the change in her expression, after cleaning up the things on the table, she saw her drowsy with her head hanging down, and hurried forward and said: "Girl, I persuade you to go to bed and rest, I'm afraid It's going to catch a cold."

Xia Zijin nodded, and let her support her to rest on the bed. Seeing that she was asleep, Wu Yuan tiptoed and quietly backed out.When Xia Zijin heard the sound of closing the door, her originally closed eyes suddenly opened, staring at the curtain in a daze.

This Xia Zijin was disturbed by the matter of the lotus paste crisp, and Xia Shengqing had already rushed to Hualou.

When I came here, I saw the old bustard lying on the ground, frowning in disgust.But the old bustard rushed forward, "My lord, my lord! You must be the master of the women! Although we are a flower house, such a thing can't happen! You let these yamen servants stand at the door, What kind of business do folk girls do!"

I don't know if she was intimidated by Xia Shengqing's aura, or she only knew the prefect of Liangcheng, but she didn't touch Xia Shengqing at all.

"Noisy." Xia Shengqing said two words coldly.

The magistrate's expression froze immediately after being pushed by the old bustard, and he quickly pushed her aside, "Go, go, I'm here to handle the case, why are you crying?"

On the other hand, he still didn't forget to wink at the old bustard.The old bustard immediately realized that Xiao's person accompanying the magistrate might be a big shot, so he immediately wiped away his tears and nose, and showed a smiling face.

She dared to mess around with these yamen servants because she had some relationship with the magistrate. Now that the other party obviously wouldn't listen to her, she naturally wouldn't be ignorant.

Seeing her like this, the magistrate secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Xia Shengqing flatteringly, "My lord, please."

Xia Shengqing followed him upstairs to the place where the crime happened.

The old bustard was left standing there stunned. Unexpectedly, this man turned out to be a prince. After she realized it, she quickly grabbed the handkerchief and stroked her heart. Fortunately, she had good eyesight just now, so she didn't make a mistake in front of him.

Although Mudan is not as famous as the head oiran in the Hualou, she has accumulated some customers over the years. It is said that she suddenly vomited blood and died when she was having fun with others.

Because of this, when Xia Shengqing rushed over, she was still naked, lying on the ground naked.

Xia Shengqing frowned involuntarily, and ordered someone to put on a dress for her, which was too ugly, and turned to look at Zhang Zuo who was standing aside, "Can you find out how she died?"

"Return to the lord, she died of poisoning." Wu Zuo took out the silver needle that had just been tested for poison and handed it to Xia Shengqing. It was obvious that the needle of the silver needle was pitch black.

Xia Shengqing frowned puzzled, with the method of Shuiyuejiao, if she wanted to kill such a flower girl, she could be killed with one blow, why did she use such a method as poisoning?Wouldn't this be superfluous?
"My lord, how do you think about this corpse?" Wu Zuo couldn't help asking when he saw that he was lost in thought.

"Bring it back and put it in the morgue first." Xia Shengqing came back to her senses and checked the room herself, "Which benefactor was with Peony when she died?"

"It's Du Shusheng." The magistrate stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Now he's downstairs, it seems that he's quite frightened."

"Bring him up, I have something to ask him." Xia Shengqing sneered, maybe this Du Shusheng was the murderer who killed Mudan, "Anyone who can't tell what he was doing at the time of the crime will be detained by this king." gone."

The magistrate immediately acted on his words, and Du Shusheng was quickly pushed up by the yamen servants, and when he saw Xia Shengqing, he knelt on the ground and called out the lord for being wronged.Xia Shengqing made a sudden move, and the dagger was aimed at his neck.

The sharp cold air almost scratched his skin. However, Du Shusheng just backed away in fright, feces and urine flowed out, but he didn't intend to resist. Xia Shengqing retracted the dagger, and just opened his mouth to utter a word, he fainted from fright.

Seeing his unpromising appearance, Xia Shengqing was speechless for a while. Although he had ruled out the possibility of this person in his heart, just in case, he still held down his wrist, the bones and fingers were weak, and it was not like Xi Jinping at all. A man of martial arts.

Xia Shengqing wasn't disappointed at all, she was just asking casually, and didn't just point to the murderer.The magistrate was watching anxiously, seeing him let go of his hand, pointing at Du Shusheng, "My lord, how should he deal with it?"
