Chapter 152: A Luo is pregnant, I want to leave Luo An
Less than a cup of tea after Sui Yi left the Golden Palace, Eunuch Lin, who had understood all the affairs of the Eastern Palace, entered the Golden Palace.
Eunuch Lin leaned over and whispered a few words in Xia Hong's ear, and the palm of his hand holding the whisk became wet.
Xia Ling's move was too bold and risky.
But if Sui Yi hadn't pointed it out today, Xia Ling might have really been able to get away with it.
The chess piece is trying to break free from the control of the person holding it. How can Xia Hong, the man who controls the world, tolerate this?
The teacup in his hand was smashed to the ground, and the memorials on the desk were brushed away by Xia Hong with one hand.
Everyone inside and outside the Golden Palace was frightened by this anger and fell to their knees. The spring breeze blew into the Golden Palace, but it could not dispel the severe cold inside the palace.
Just when everyone was worried that they would be beheaded because of the anger, Xia Hong suddenly laughed: "Xiao Linzi, why doesn't he learn from Xia Che?"
"At least it can save your life, don't you think?"
Eunuch Lin carefully took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat off his face, and stood up again: "After this year, even this old servant believes that the prince has really grown up."
The word "sensible" made Xia Hong's sarcasm even stronger: "Useless thing, he actually thought of such a way to win over Sui Er with his body. I think he is shameful."
Eunuch Lin poured Xia Hong a cup of heat-clearing tea. He knew what he should say at this moment: "The dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of them is different. The people who raised them are different, and the royal family should also be different."
Xia Hong picked up the teacup and immediately thought of Zhong Luoyue: "His mother was a person who would crawl under my bed to make things. He is just like his mother."
Eunuch Lin did not dare to answer this question, and immediately changed the subject: "Sui Er must have been set up last night."
Xia Hong pursed his lips slightly: "But today he hid it from me, it's true."
Eunuch Lin did not dare to agree with this. If Sui Er chose to confess, there would be no good result.
For a person living in darkness to be tempted by someone he is plotting against is guilty of a capital crime.
Xia Hong looked up at the spring scenery outside the palace gate and asked, "Did Xiaojiu turn twelve a few days ago?"
"Yes, you even asked me to deliver a birthday gift. The Ninth Prince, who rarely smiles, also showed joy after receiving the gift."
"Twelve years old is not young anymore. It's time for you to go out and experience the ups and downs of life."
Xia Hong's cold voice revealed a hint of excitement. Xia Qi had been dead for thirteen years, and it was time for him to start enjoying the fruits of his victory.
"Let Xun Zhan come to see me tomorrow."
Xia Hong stood up, supporting himself with his hands on the dragon throne, and walked down the steps made of gold and jade step by step, heading out of the Golden Palace.
Eunuch Lin did not ask Xia Hong where he was going, but as he watched Xia Hong take steps forward and then retract them, Eunuch Lin had the answer in his mind.
Xia Hong wanted to go to Xianyun Palace, but Xia Hong did not cross this threshold in the end
Xia Hong hoped that everything that was about to happen was an accident.
He hopes that in Zhong Yuanyuan's eyes, he is a responsible man with bottom line.
two months later
Midnight is approaching, and darkness covers Luoan. It is at this moment that the night travelers meet.
Shen Jinmo came out from the secret passage of Xie Mansion and met Xia Che who was sitting alone in the dark room according to the instructions in the secret letter he received during the day.
Sitting opposite each other across a desk, Xia Che handed the warm tea to Shen Jinmo.
Without any greetings, Xia Che directly stated his purpose: "Wang Heng, A Luo is pregnant, I want to leave Luo An."
Shen Jinmo's expression was gloomy. Facing Xia Che at this moment, he was no different from when he faced the noble Luo An: "Xia Che, why should I help you?"
Since Xia Che has made an appointment with Shen Jinmo today, what he wants to talk about is not the old friendship, but the bargaining chips and the price.
In the city of Luoan, there are no eternal friends, nor eternal enemies, only interests that are exchanged forever.
Handing the list of officials under his command to Shen Jinmo, Xia Che said, "This is the first gift I give you. With this, what Tian Ding is doing now can be said to be targeted."
Shen Jinmo returned the list of officials to Xia Che in its original form: "Xia Che, I can kill any official in Luoan City if I want to."
"Humph." With a smile on his face, Xia Che understood Shen Jinmo's ultimate goal: "Lord Shen wants to do whatever he wants in Luoan. You will definitely not refuse my second gift."
Shen Jinmo raised his chin slightly, with a meaningful light in his eyes.
"Personally frame the former emperor's crown prince for rebellion, banish him from Luo'an, and then take his head as the first generous gift for your surrender to Xia Hong. Do you want it or not?"
The corner of Shen Jinmo's mouth curved up, and he picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Did you prepare this booklet for Xun Zhan?"
"Yes, Xun Zhan stands by Xiao Jiu. He has more reasons and positions to use these people."
Shen Jinmo asked: "You gave it to him for free?"
"Hmph." Xia Che picked up the teacup and clinked it with Shen Jinmo across half the table: "He has to put some of the content where it should be, and then I can deliver the rest of the list."
Shen Jinmo and Xia Che looked at each other, and they both understood what was going to happen next.
"Is Chen Luo's pregnancy stable?"
"Until I am firmly in the seat, I will not dare to take any risks."
Shen Jinmo's expression relaxed a little: "The Ninth Prince is my grandfather's child?"
"Wang Heng, this is not important." Xia Che's eyes were calm, without revealing any unnecessary emotions: "He is the Queen Mother's child, this is enough for me to have good thoughts about him."
If Xia Yu was not around, given Zhong Yuanyuan's feelings for Xia Qi, she would definitely follow him.
It was Xia Yu who saved Xia Che and Xia Xin from becoming motherless children.
The moonlight shone into the house through the window. Shen Jinmo didn't want to waste such good time on Xia Che, and Xia Che naturally didn't want to stay with him.
Shen Jinmo stood up from his chair: "Xia Che, I accept this gift."
Xia Che sat on the chair without moving. Looking at the direction where Shen Jinmo's back disappeared, Xia Che said, "Wang Heng, I'll leave Luo An Gu to you."
No looking back, no response.
In fact, Shen Jinmo shouldn't have come today.
But he promised Xie Nanxing that he would stay with Xie Nanxing until they were old and gray.
Shen Jinmo, you can’t die in the end.
The candlelight flickered. Xie Nanxing, wearing a thin shirt, sat at the eight-immortals table. With one hand he flipped through the account book that Yang Huai had handed over to him that evening, while his eyes frequently looked outside the house.
Naturally, Xie Nanxing didn't need to be so anxious to look at this kind of account book, but when Xie Nanxing got up at night and didn't see Shen Jinmo, he couldn't fall asleep anymore.
Unable to read a single word in his subordinate's account book, Xie Nanxing simply walked towards the gate of the courtyard holding a lantern.
If the timing wasn't right, Xie Nanxing would have wanted to go directly to the mansion gate and wait for Shen Jinmo to return.
The night was extremely dark, and the two dark figures were difficult to identify, but Xie Nanxing could tell at a glance which of the two people coming towards the main courtyard was Shen Jinmo.
Not in a hurry to walk towards Shen Jinmo, Xie Nanxing smiled faintly in the direction of Shen Jinmo.
From a distance, Shen Jinmo looked at the candlelight and immediately came to Xie Nanxing: "Why are you up?"
