Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 760 Where is the Birthmark

"I wonder if the emperor can find out who is spreading rumors behind this king?" Xia Shengqing didn't have the heart to spend on such boring things at all, but he is Xia Zijin's husband after all, and this name cannot be recognized. Otherwise, Xia Zijin It's going to be a dilemma.

Although he knew that Xia Zijin would not pay attention to these people, even if he was really confirmed to be the former prince, Xia Zijin would insist on keeping him.But he couldn't bear it.

The corners of the emperor's and King Lin's mouths twitched. He wanted to call Xia Shengqing back for interrogation, but now he insisted that someone was slandering him.Lin Wang cursed cunningly and coughed, "What does it mean to be six thousand years old? The matter hasn't been clarified yet, so it's inappropriate to just say it's slander."

Xia Shengqing turned her head to look at him, and smiled coldly, "Really? This king is nine thousand years old personally conferred by the late emperor. Back then, he was seriously injured to save the late emperor. The late emperor himself conferred nine thousand years old on this king. Could it be that Prince Lin wanted to say Didn’t the first emperor know people clearly?”

"You talk nonsense, when did this king say that?" In the past, Xia Shengqing seldom spoke, let alone arguing with others. Seeing his uncharacteristically eloquent teeth, Lin Wang was stunned, and only after he realized that he had directly detained him. Put on a big hat, and immediately cleared the road.

Xia Shengqing sneered and turned to look at the emperor, "Your majesty, do you believe those rumors?"

The emperor was watching the fight between the two, and in his heart he was thinking that both of them would suffer from the fight, and he wanted to make a profit, so he heard Xia Shengqing turn his finger on him.He was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to realize it. He gritted his teeth, "It's better to investigate this matter clearly."

Last time after Concubine Hui called him over, he went back to the imperial study and sat for a full afternoon, thinking about one thing clearly. Uncle Lin Huang had been urging him to deal with Xia Shengqing, but in fact he might have other thoughts.Thinking of this, the emperor turned his head and gave him a slightly annoyed look.

These two people are not good people. Also, why is he not qualified to be the emperor? He is the biological son of the first emperor. In terms of status, he is more orthodox than them.It's just that he doesn't have power now, but if he makes good use of the two of them and continues to deal with each other, he may not have a chance.

The little emperor withdrew his gaze, made a sullen face, and pretended to be serious, "King Lin, didn't you catch those who spread rumors before, do you know what evidence you have?"

King Lin glanced at Xia Shengqing proudly, took out a stack of confessions from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch who came down, and he held it to the emperor.Xia Shengqing tightened her palms slightly on the armrest, squinted her eyes, and looked over casually, but a cold light suddenly appeared.

As soon as the emperor received the confession, before he had time to read it, he felt a chill. He couldn't help shaking his body, and subconsciously looked at the source of his line of sight. Concerned about these confessions, as for his previous feelings, there is no trace to be found.

In the end, the emperor could only attribute his subconscious fear to the fact that he was probably trained to be afraid by the teacher Xia Shengqing.He lowered his head and opened the blood-stained confession, his face turned ugly.

"Nine thousand years old, how do you explain it?" The emperor threw down the confession with a sullen face.

Xia Shengqing calmly opened his eyes, looked at the papers that had fallen at his feet, and cast a cold glance at the emperor. Holding back his breath for now, he picked up the papers and looked at them one by one, then sneered, "Explain? What's the point of explaining this?" Yes. It’s just a few people’s casual slander.”

The emperor was a little panicked when he wrote the confession earlier, worried that he would get angry, but seeing that he had no special reaction, he immediately relaxed, and couldn't help but feel a little elated. Seeing his indifferent attitude again, his breath was stuck in his chest, and he was still immature. Anger appeared on his face, "Nine thousand years old, do you think I am really young and ignorant? If these things are not true, how dare they slander you with their identities?"

Xia Shengqing licked his lips. Shortly after he was taken into the palace, he still thought about his adoptive parents. Later, he realized that the so-called adoptive parents were actually the nanny and an old eunuch who served her mother and concubine. Not long after entering the palace, the two died of illness.

As for the two people in the prison who claimed to be his adoptive parents, they were simply fakes, and those villagers were really ridiculous.Xia Shengqing raised the corners of her lips, "Since the emperor doesn't believe it, why bother to question me, just bring those people up, and I'll have a good interrogation."

He stood there with no fear on his face. The emperor looked at his calm and calm appearance, and his heart couldn't stop trembling, always wondering if he had made a stupid decision.But this was the end of the matter, and he couldn't retreat.Now that the emperor is not in the capital, when the emperor returns, even if he wants to deal with Xia Shengqing, he will not be able to. The emperor thinks of the imperial edict in Xia Zijin's hand, and a gloomy light flashes in his eyes.

Xia Shengqing saw all the changes in him, helped the jade finger on his thumb, and smiled. It seems that the emperor's thoughts are indeed big. If this is the case, he can't be blamed for being unrighteous.If the emperor knows his identity and behaves better, the throne will not be changed for a while, but he is not willing to be a puppet, and he is overestimated, so there is no need to keep it.

The emperor didn't expect him to be so magnanimous, his expression changed a few times, and he said dryly: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this matter is of great importance. If you don't investigate clearly, some people will inevitably misunderstand you, and then you will be polluted for nothing. innocent."

Xia Shengqing glanced at him and hadn't seen him for a few days. When he looked at him with admiration, he didn't expect the emperor to be so eloquent. At that moment, someone grabbed those imprisoned people and came over. Seeing these figures, Xia Shengqing's eyes twitched. Wang actually found the villagers in the place where he originally lived.

It seems that he has put in some effort. Xia Shengqing turned his head and gave him a slightly appreciative glance. Lin Wang couldn't help but feel complacent, and then he realized that he had been tricked by him. Xia Shengqing turned his head as if nothing had happened, as if Look at the group of people on the ground as if they were private.

He was young back then, and couldn't bear these people being implicated by him to lose their lives, so Yue Jing'an spared their lives. He didn't expect to harm him at this time. As for the old couple kneeling in front, Xia Shengqing narrowed his eyes and thought about it It took a while to recognize them, and I wished I could stab them both to death.

These two people were a couple he rescued at the bottom of the hillside. He thought they would leave when they woke up, but they insisted on repaying their life-saving grace. With nowhere to go, they begged their adoptive parents to keep them. In a moment of pity, he helped them speak, but he didn't expect it to be two white-eyed wolves.

"I heard that you claim to be the adoptive parents of this king?" Xia Shengqing lowered her head and looked directly at them.

The huge coercion rushed towards the couple who were kneeling on the ground, sweat dripped from their foreheads involuntarily, and they knelt on the ground tremblingly, "Yes... yes... my lord, it's possible that you don't remember our old couple Back then, the two of us found you lying in the snow as soon as we opened the door, so we kindly adopted you for a while, but who knew that when we were eight years old, a group of people suddenly came and took you away, my lord."

While the two of them were talking, they secretly checked Xia Shengqing's face. Seeing that his face was getting gloomy and his mouth was bitter, they cast a vague glance at Lin Wang, who was sitting on the chair, and could only continue talking. The son fell into the hands of King Lin, and even if they were unwilling, they could only obey.

"My lord, the two of us don't expect anything, but when you were placed at the door, there was still a jade pendant stuffed in your swaddle with the word Jinyu engraved on it. The lord said that it was the name of the prince of the previous dynasty. The two of us really dare not cover up." The husband and wife took out a jade pendant from their bosom tremblingly, regretting it to death.

Back then, the two of them were greedy for money and stole the jade pendant. Later, when his wife gave birth, he pawned the jade pendant without money, but he unexpectedly got killed.The two of them trembled for a while, and suddenly they became resentful towards Xia Shengqing. If it wasn't for Xia Shengqing, they would still be guarding their children and family reunion, how could such a thing happen.

Xia Shengqing didn't expect him to be able to take out the token. She frowned, and suddenly laughed lowly, "You said this jade pendant belonged to me, did it belong to me? You also said that you are my adoptive parents. , then why, this king doesn’t know you guys? Maybe you bought this jade pendant yourself.”

"My lord, there are old and young among the grassroots, you can't frame a villain like this? How can you afford such a good jade pendant with your status as a villain?" The middle-aged man was so scared that he almost peed out. Unable to admit it, he immediately screamed.

Xia Shengqing sneered, "Since you said that you are my adoptive parents, then I will ask you, is my birthmark on your left or right shoulder?"

The middle-aged man who was still howling just now was stunned. He glanced at King Lin and stammered: "Left...left shoulder."

"Nonsense, my king's birthmark is clearly on his right shoulder." Xia Shengqing snarled and kicked him.

The woman who had been silent for a while immediately took a step forward, "Your Majesty, after so many years, it is not surprising that the head of my family made a mistake. It was the woman who cleaned the child. The woman remembered that the birthmark was on the right shoulder. Yes, yes, the right shoulder."

"Nine thousand years old, you are so anxious to strike, do you want to kill someone to silence you?" Lin Wang stopped him from walking towards the woman, and looked at him coldly.

Xia Shengqing's hands creaked, his gaze passed over him, and fell on the woman, "Are you sure it's the right shoulder?"

"Indeed... sure." The woman didn't know the truth at all, but since it wasn't on the left shoulder, it was the right shoulder. No matter what, she and her husband-in-law always had a match.

Xia Shengqing's evil spirit suddenly rolled back into his body, and he looked at the emperor, "Your majesty, these two people are talking nonsense and slandering this king at will, and these people followed him and insulted this king's reputation, please the emperor deal with it strictly." .”
