Happy pastoral concubine

Chapter 1080

Fengluan Hall.

Xia Shao deliberately changed into a bright red palace attire, and her jet-black hair was also tied into a flying bun.

Although there is no powder and daisy, there is no red hairpin and jade ring.

But her temperament is unmatched.

"I don't know why the empress invited the minister's wife into the palace?" Xia Baihe knelt down respectfully, her drooping eyes covered the unwillingness and jealousy in her eyes.

Xia Shao snorted coldly, then threw the object in her hand to her feet.

"This is?"

"Mrs. Qin might as well take a good look at it. What is the word engraved on the bottom of this gold ingot?"

General Qin Xiao has worked hard and made great achievements, so when he was guarding the northwest, Xiao Yijin specially sent a box of gold ingots.

A total of 1 taels, each ingot of gold ingot is engraved with the word "Qin Fu".

For the Qin family, this is a supreme honor.

But Xia Shao didn't expect that Xia Baihe would dare to act so boldly, blatantly using this kind of gold ingot to buy the killer hidden in the juggling troupe, so as to hurt the current queen mother!
"This gold ingot was indeed rewarded by the Holy Majesty to the Qin Mansion." Xia Baihe looked at the ingot of gold ingot carefully, and smiled slightly, "But my wife doesn't quite understand what the Empress Dowager means?"

"I have already sent people to investigate in advance. Didn't your Qin family recruit a juggling troupe to celebrate General Qin's birthday last year?"

"That's true."

"Now the juggling troupe has gone to Jinling, and there are three villains among them. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, they intend to assassinate the empress dowager!"

Xia Baihe raised her eyebrows slightly, with just the right amount of astonishment on her face.

"Is the queen mother all right?"

"The Empress Dowager is blessed and fateful, so she is safe and sound." Xia Shao gave her a cold look, and then threw the evidence in front of her, "This is the confession made by the assassin who intended to assassinate the Empress Dowager before his death. I have already confessed the mastermind behind the scenes, but I never expected that Mrs. Qin would be so vicious and dare to harm the Queen Mother!"

Xia Baihe silently picked up the so-called evidence, and read it carefully.

In the end, he smiled and said, "These are just the one-sided remarks of the assassins, and there is no evidence at all."

"You mean you don't admit it?" Xia Shao frowned and asked with serious eyes.

"How can I admit to something my wife never did?"

"Very good." Xia Shao laughed angrily. With the support of Nanny Gui, she walked step by step to the side of Xia Baihe who was still kneeling under her, with a cold warning in her cold tone, "It's groundless. , not necessarily without a reason. If Mrs. Qin really had no contact with those people in the juggling troupe, how would Mrs. Qin explain this gold ingot? Also, if you never ordered those killers to assassinate the Queen Mother, why would the killer kill the Queen Mother before dying? The one who recruited you, Xia Baihe, is the mastermind behind the scenes?"

"Empress, empress, as the saying goes, catching thieves and catching stolen goods, catching rape and catching doubles. Based on the one-sided words of these assassins, does your empress want to make courtiers beat you into tricks?" Xia Baihe smiled disapprovingly, "Although this The gold ingot was given to our Qin family by the sage at the beginning, but the gold is not used at home, so is it for viewing?"

Xia Shao had already guessed that Xia Baihe would be so cunning and treacherous.

So she gave her a few words of warning and let her go.

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Xiao Yijin looked at the tired look in Xia Shao's eyes, his eyes were full of distress.

"If you feel a little tired, let other people take care of these trivial matters?"

"It's okay." Xia Shao nestled in his arms obediently, and said softly, "With the abilities of my father and my mother, how could I not be able to solve this assassination case? But my mother chose to put the whole thing aside." Leaving it to me is enough to show my mother's trust and maintenance in me."

After all, Xia Baihe is a member of the Xia family, and she has some kind of kinship relationship with her.

If she can't handle this matter well, then she won't be able to continue to be the queen with peace of mind.

"Since you already know that Xia Baihe is behind the scenes, why did you let the tiger go back to the mountain?"

"Xia Baihe acted too cautiously. Although she left some traces, these alone are not enough to convict her." Xia Shao said thoughtfully, "Yijin, what do you think is the best way to destroy a person?" What is it?"

"Kill her?"

"If I really choose to kill her, wouldn't I have to bear a murderous reputation? What's more, I'm your queen. I can't let those ministers at Yushitai think that I'm a demon queen." Xia Xia Shao pretended to be annoyed and glared at him, "You have dismissed Liugong for me, and those ministers are waiting for me to make mistakes, and then keep submitting memorials, forcing you to re-draft!"

"In this life, with you alone, I'm already content." Xiao Yijin put a light kiss on her cheek and said with a smile, "So I won't draft again in this life."

"Yeah!" Xia Shao squinted her eyes and smiled sweetly, changed into a comfortable position, and leaned against his generous chest.

"Yijin, do you think our child is a boy or a girl?"

"It doesn't matter if he's a man or a woman."

"Yes, it is a kind of luck for us that he is safe and healthy!" Xia Shao agreed very much, "It's getting late, I'll go back to Fengluan Hall first, and I will trouble you to accompany me to perform tomorrow." Is it a good show?"

"Acting?" Xiao Yijin raised her eyebrows curiously, "What do you mean by that?"

"You will know until tomorrow!" Xia Shao smiled and said, "I'll go back first, remember to come to Fengluan Hall later, Auntie Fuling taught me a few dishes in the past two days, and I will cook them later Is it for you to eat?"

Xiao Yijin nodded, hugged her but was reluctant to let go.

"Don't you want to taste the delicacies I made with my own hands?" After several struggles, Xia Shao gave up and turned to look at him with a smile on his face.

"Compared with delicious food, I want to eat you more." Xiao Yijin suddenly leaned into her ear, breathing like blue.

Xia Shao couldn't help shivering, and then glared at him angrily.

It's just that expression, no matter how you look at it, it's so pretty.

As dusk approached, Xia Shao cooked a few open dishes.

Among them is Yijin's favorite sweet and sour pork ribs.

"Husband, can I make a small request to you?" Xia Shao squinted at him and said sweetly.

"If you have nothing to do, I know you have something else to ask for." Xiao Yijin nodded her nose dotingly, and smiled dotingly, "Tell me, what do you want?"

"Husband, can you send an imperial decree to ask Qin An to bring Xia Baihe to the palace for dinner tomorrow?"

"Why did you invite Qin An into the palace?" Xiao Yijin raised her eyebrows, with displeasure flickering in her eyes.

"Because I want to use alienation!" Xia Shao said very calmly, "If this person is not here, I can't play it well!"

"Divorce?" Seeing the sly smile on her face, Xiao Yijin became more and more puzzled.
