Concubine's true colors

Chapter 128 The Prince of Thailand Arrives
The matter of Qian Ming's death in the dilapidated monastery last night has not been discovered until the morning of the second day.

At this time, the various governments are already sorting out the vehicles, preparing to return to Changping City together, staying far away from this monastery where people have been killed repeatedly, so as not to be implicated innocently.

Now the courtyard is full of female relatives, and Xiao Yijun, the second young master of the Xiao family, also returned to the Beijing military camp two days ago after sending his old lady to Guanyinyuan.

So Zhou Xianrui asked himself to take on the role of accompanying escort, and accompanied his wife and young lady back to the capital, which was counted as a support on the way.

Just when Zhou Xianrui was discussing with Mrs. Xiao about the order of the horses and chariots going to each mansion, and how to put Huayang's body properly, suddenly the host of the Guanyin Academy ran into the guest courtyard in a panic.

When everyone saw the appearance of the old abbot, they knew that something must have happened again, but before they could ask the first half of the question, suddenly a group of guards in full suits and armed with weapons rushed in, and ignored the screams of the female relatives Shouting, he directly showed his weapon, and surrounded everyone in the center.

And on the armor of the guards, there are more than a hundred people, the eye-catching word "Thai" also clearly shows that they are from the Prince Tai's mansion, and they are Zhou Xiantai's private soldiers, the most elite black-armored guards of the Prince Tai .

Sure enough, not long after everyone was besieged, Zhou Xiantai's figure, accompanied by Ji Lingfeng, walked quickly into the guest courtyard.

The Prince of Thailand first glanced at the people present with eagle-like sharp eyes, and then fixed his eyes on Zhou Xianrui's face, and Zhou Xiantai's body also emanated a burst of intimidating power. Momentum comes out.

"Fifth brother, I haven't seen you for a few days, so don't come here all right, brother. We all know why you came here today. If you are willing to hand over Huai Anhou obediently, then we are still close brothers. If not... ..."

Zhou Xiantai did not finish his sentence at the end, but the threatening meaning in his tone was clearly heard by everyone present, and his innate royal aura also made people tremble with fear and panic. .

Standing behind the old lady, Xiao Jinxuan was also secretly observing the Thai prince.

In the previous life, Zhou Xiantai once held a celebration ceremony in the palace after she ascended the throne. She was already Princess Ling at that time, so she also participated in it.

But at that time, Zhou Xiantai was sitting on the dragon chair in a royal robe, and there was a bead curtain in front of him, but Xiao Jinxuan didn't see the other person's face clearly.

But today, looking at the prince of Thailand who directly broke into the Guanyin Temple with his guards, Xiao Jinxuan had to admit that it is no wonder that the other party was able to overthrow the prince in his previous life, seize the heir and proclaim himself emperor. Eligible to sit on the throne of the emperor.

Although Zhou Xiantai is imposing, Zhou Xianrui is not a character who can be manipulated casually, so seeing His Highness Prince Rui stepping forward, he is not affected by the opponent's aura at all, and said neither humble nor overbearing:

"Xianrui was very curious about what the second brother had not finished speaking. If the second brother refuses to hand over Qian Ming to you, would the second brother still have to attack me?"

Zhou Xiantai's eyes narrowed dangerously. Among the princes, even the prince, he always felt that the other party was a mediocre scholar with no talent or ability, and there were always only two people who could make him vigilant.

One is Zhou Xianyu, the seventh younger brother who uses soldiers like a god and holds military power.The other one is the fifth younger brother Zhou Xianrui who is as steady as ice in front of him.

It's a pity that neither of these two people can be used by him, otherwise Zhou Xiantai believes that if he gets their help, let alone the crown prince, even the current emperor's throne, he may not have a chance to seize it.

Seeing Zhou Xianrui's calm expression, Zhou Xiantai also knew that the other party was hard to be overwhelmed, so he immediately restrained his momentum, and said proudly with a smile on his face:

"Fifth Brother is just joking. How could Brother Wei do anything to you? I'm afraid that Brother Wei wanted to do this, but Father Wang would not agree to that. Brother Wei told you to hand over Marquis Huai'an mainly because I heard that Hua Yang Aunt, died tragically at the hands of Qian Ming, which is related to the dignity of my royal family, so I came here and prepared to personally escort Qian Ming to the Ministry of Officials for interrogation. It is also a good intention for my brother, and I came here specially to share your worries with my fifth brother. I think You definitely won’t tell brother Huang to return empty-handed.”

Hearing this, Zhou Xianrui didn't say anything else, he just called one of his guards out and asked him to lead the way and take Zhou Xiantai to pick him up.

Seeing that Zhou Xianrui agreed so happily, Zhou Xiantai was taken aback for a moment. It was not the first time he had fought against this fifth younger brother. The reason why he even brought the black armored guards today was that the other party would grab Qian Ming. Let him go, so that he can take advantage of force to take Huai Anhou away directly.

Therefore, Zhou Xianrui's abnormal behavior made Zhou Xiantai inexplicably uneasy, and when he was led to the abandoned monastery and pushed open the wooden door, he saw Qian Ming, Marquis of Huai'an hanging high on the beam in the house. His body had already been found. The stiffness became stiff, Zhou Xiantai's uneasiness in his heart immediately turned into anger, and his expression became extremely ferocious in an instant.

Seeing that the prince was about to be kicked out of the heir apparent because of his misbehavior, offering sacrifices to the treasonous king, and Marquis Huai'an who had all the evidence, in Zhou Xiantai's eyes, he was simply more precious than golden beans.

But now a good Marquis, Zhou Xianrui killed him as soon as he said he would, and the great opportunity to bring down the prince also flew away as a boiled duck. Zhou Xiantai didn't want to get angry, but how could he control himself .

He directly pulled out his own sword, and ordered the black armored guards to remove the body of Marquis Huai'an, while Zhou Xiantai held up the sword, and was about to go back to settle accounts with Zhou Xianrui.

But seeing this, Ji Lingfeng on the side suddenly stepped forward, stopped him, and said with a frown:
"Your Highness, please calm down. Now that the female families of all the palaces in the capital are here, if you point your sword at Prince Rui and spread the word afterwards, it will only damage your reputation. Moreover, as Prince Rui, we have no evidence to identify him. Marquis Huai'an is When the other party kills him, no one can do anything to him."

In fact, Zhou Xiantai couldn't understand these things, but he just couldn't swallow it.

"Ling Feng, don't tell me you're called Your Highness, so forget it. If you let Huai Anhou die for no reason this time, but don't seriously injure Zhou Xianrui, won't he be even more unscrupulous if he fights against me again next time?" gone."

Hearing this, Ji Lingfeng's eyes flashed sternly, but his voice was as gentle as ever and said:
"Your Highness, we can't touch Prince Rui. Don't we still have the concubine daughter of the Xiao family? Find an excuse to get rid of her. Ling Feng promises that if Zhou Xianrui loses Xiao Jinxuan that day, it will be like losing an arm. If Xiao Jinxuan doesn't get rid of it, Sooner or later, it will be a disaster, Your Highness Wanwang must listen to Ling Feng this time, and don't underestimate that Fourth Miss Xiao."

Putting the sword back into the sheath, Zhou Xiantai's eyes flashed with thought. In fact, since Ji Lingfeng rushed back to the capital to ask him for help, and said that Huayang died tragically and Huai'anhou was captured, he had already believed the other party's words. Xiao Jinxuan underestimated.

After all, Zhou Xianrui's whereabouts have always been closely monitored. Zhou Xiantai is sure that what happened in Guanyinyuan was not the handiwork of this fifth brother, and there is no one else who arranged this situation except Xiao Jinxuan.

Thinking of himself being ruined by a woman, a murderous look flashed across Zhou Xiantai's face, he turned around and rushed back to the guest house where the female relatives were.

Since Zhou Xianrui killed his people, Zhou Xiantai was going to follow Ji Lingfeng's advice, and also captured Xiao Jinxuan, and then used the most cruel method to kill this woman, which was also a warning to Zhou Xianrui.

After making up his mind, when Zhou Xiantai's figure reappeared in the guest courtyard, he ran towards Xiao Jinxuan without saying hello, stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, and was about to send her out of Xiao's house. They were pulled out from the crowd.

Now, Zhou Xiantai wished to kill Xiao Jinxuan immediately, so he didn't show any mercy. Xiao Jinxuan even felt that her wrist was about to be cut off. Her face turned pale from the pain, and she couldn't control her figure. Just dragged and walked outside.

Because of this accident, Zhou Xianrui frowned tightly, but he was about to stop him, but he didn't want to see Xiao Jinxuan and winked at him repeatedly, signaling him to stand still.

Seeing that Zhou Xianrui nodded slightly without acting rashly, Xiao Jinxuan withdrew her gaze, and then glanced at Zhou Xiantai who was full of anger.

Then I saw her sinking her body intentionally, and fell straight to the ground, her calm expression disappeared, and she changed into a frightened and uneasy look, and looked at Mrs. Xiao with tears in her eyes.

"Grandmother begs me, Jinxuan is so scared, you can't look at your granddaughter and be dragged away by the prince in full view, otherwise your granddaughter's boudoir name will be ruined, and I will definitely bring shame to the Xiao family, Then Jinxuan might as well die immediately."

After saying this, Xiao Jinxuan's right hand was grabbed and could not move, but with her free left hand, she directly took the golden hairpin from the bun, and stabbed at her neck without hesitation.

She was so powerful that she even stabbed blood on her neck. If Zhou Xiantai hadn't reacted fast enough to knock down the hairpin in time, Xiao Jinxuan would have stabbed her throat and died on the spot.

Seeing the hairpin fall to the ground, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes flashed a sly look. She did use a lot of strength when she stabbed herself just now. She will definitely try to stop her, and her life will not be lost in any way.

After all, even if the other party is a prince and a prince, but he can't bear the reputation of forcing a handsome daughter to death in public.

And Xiao Jinxuan's bitter trick was not for nothing, seeing the old lady who had always disliked her, she stood up with an angry face.

How the Xiao family fights each other, how they are bored and jealous of each other is all their own business behind closed doors. If this granddaughter is taken away by Zhou Xiantai like this, the old lady feels that this Prince Tai is simply fanning the Xiao family. She is making the handsome man feel uncomfortable with her face, which she absolutely cannot allow.

Therefore, the old lady swung the crutch with the dragon's head and hit Zhou Xiantai directly, which was tightly held on Xiao Jinxuan's wrist.

Seeing that the Thai prince was in pain and had no choice but to let go, the old lady bent down and pulled Xiao Jinxuan up, and immediately protected her behind her.

Then she said with a more icy expression: "Prince Tai, you first led the troops to surround the Guanyin Temple, and now you can't help but say that you want to take my granddaughter away. Although you are a prince and a prince, you can My Xiao family doesn't allow you to act recklessly. Does His Highness really think that you can do anything reckless with these hundreds of famous black armor guards? Then you really have to weigh it up and see if you are enough for this. Servings."
