Concubine's true colors

Chapter 144
Seeing Zhou Xianyu who was full of grievances and mumbling non-stop, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help feeling a little warm in her heart.

Thinking back to when she was in Yangzhou back then, she was reborn and was trapped in a wooden cage in the ice and snow. The person who rescued her was Zhou Xianyu.

But now, when she was in a predicament again, the other party suddenly appeared again, protecting her safely from any harm.

In fact, Xiao Jinxuan would have a thousand words to say, and wanted to say goodbye to Zhou Xianyu after a long time.

She wanted to anxiously ask if the other party's injury would heal, she wanted to smile and congratulate the other party on defeating Bei Rong triumphantly, and even more, she wanted to step forward and snuggle into the other party's arms, without thinking about anything, and to tell her thoughts and dependence.

But Xiao Jinxuan could think about it, but she absolutely couldn't, and she didn't even dare to do it.

Because she didn't forget, it was because of her previous love letter sent across thousands of miles that Zhou Xianyu, who was unharmed in the previous life, was seriously injured and comatose, and his fate changed.

Trading a lifetime of love for a chance of rebirth, Xiao Jinxuan is doomed to abandon love in this life, otherwise she will inevitably harm others and herself.

Therefore, even though Xiao Jinxuan's heart was twisted in pain, her face was still cold.

Even for Zhou Xianyu's rescue, what she can return to him is only an extremely distant thank you.

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan's indifference, Zhou Xianyu immediately stopped talking, and asked in a slightly nervous whisper:

"Jinxuan, are you angry? Why don't you talk to me? I just said that you were reluctant to kill Qian Yunhong. I was just kidding with you. Xuan'er can't annoy me because of this."

Xuan'er, listening to Zhou Xianyu calling her intimately as always, Xiao Jinxuan almost didn't shed tears.

Taking a deep breath, she nodded slightly, without looking at the other party at all, and said in a distant voice:

"Your Highness is serious. Today, you have helped Jinxuan out of trouble. It is too late for me to be grateful. How can I blame Your Highness?"

Having said that, Xiao Jinxuan lowered her head, took two steps back and bowed to Zhou Xianyu from a distance.

"It's just that men and women live together, which is inconsistent with etiquette. Jinxuan bid farewell to His Highness and went back to the commander's mansion. I hope you will cherish yourself and be safe and auspicious."

Slowly raising her head, Xiao Jinxuan gave Zhou Xianyu a longing look, but no one knew that the last two words she just said were saying goodbye to Zhou Xianyu.

Now knowing that Zhou Xianyu's life is safe and he has returned safely, she is satisfied.

And from today onwards, she will no longer have any ties with the other party. Since she is doomed to be unable to stay together, the only thing she can do for Zhou Xianyu is to stay away from the other party and give him peace for the rest of his life.

Completely cutting off the last trace of nostalgia in her eyes, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes returned to the coldness of the past, and then she left the private room without looking back, leaving without any hesitation.

Zhou Xianyu, who was left alone, stood there in a daze, with a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes full of innocence and confusion.

He couldn't understand that Xiao Jinxuan was still fine when they separated a few months ago, and he even received a reply letter from the other party in the frontier, but now that he came back, everything has changed.

After being absent-minded for a while, Zhou Xianyu regained his senses in confusion, then took a deep breath of annoyance, and walked to the window to look out.

After finding that purple figure in the noisy crowd, Zhou Xianyu was overjoyed, and immediately jumped out of the window.

After leaving the restaurant, Xiao Jinxuan said that she was going back to the commander-in-chief's mansion, but now she was feeling bored and panicked, and it was difficult for her to keep calm. Feeling lost.

After walking forward for a while, Xiao Jinxuan bumped into someone else again, but this time the person bumped into was a handsome young man in a light green dress.

I saw six or seven luxuriously dressed young men standing beside this Young Master. Originally, after he was bumped, a look of disgust flashed across his face.

But when he saw clearly that the person who bumped into him was a young woman with refined temperament and gentle appearance, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Jinxuan.

Then he said with a smile: "It's such a Lantern Festival, how can you go out alone, my son, I always cherish the beauty, why don't I come to accompany you tonight."

Hearing this, the other young masters also laughed jokingly.

But before they finished laughing, a cold snort came into their ears very clearly.

Then Zhou Xianyu's figure suddenly appeared beside Xiao Jinxuan, and with a kick, he kicked the young man in the blue shirt flying upside down for more than ten meters, causing the people all around to look sideways in surprise.

And it wasn't until this moment that the group of young masters came to their senses. Immediately, another person stood up and shouted insolently:

"Where did the bastard come from, how dare you act wild here? My father is Liu Hua, the head of the imperial guards. Believe it or not, I asked my father to lead the troops to confiscate your house and make your whole family..."

The guy who claimed to be the son of the head of the guard had a savage face, but he hadn't finished his domineering words, and just like the green shirt boy before, he was kicked and flew out sideways.

Seeing Young Master Liu, he also passed out straight on the ground, and the other young masters took advantage of this time and under the illumination of the lanterns, they could be regarded as recognizing Zhou Xianyu's face.

If you said that you saw your companions being kicked out one after another before, the rest of the sons and brothers, apart from being terrified, were still very angry.

But when they saw clearly that the person who came was Zhou Xianyu, the war king of Great Zhou, these people were frightened out of their wits and even wanted to die.

Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness, who was granted the title of king from birth, is the most loved by His Majesty today. In addition, this prince is moody, and often smiles at you just a moment ago, and the effort of turning around can make you feel good. knife.

Moreover, this living ancestor only does things according to his personal preferences. What kind of family background and national laws and regulations are in the eyes of this master, they are nothing.

But Zhou Xianyu was so lawless, but he had excellent military exploits, no one dared to move, and Emperor Ming also let him do whatever he wanted, as long as he did not go out of line, he always ignored him.

Therefore, Zhou Xianyu is in the capital, from the court to the aristocrats, there is no danger of anyone daring to provoke easily. If anyone is targeted by this prince, then basically there will be no good life .

Therefore, seeing Zhou Xianyu staring at them all the time, the oldest young master among them couldn't bear the pressure and stood up.

"His Royal Highness, I just waited wrong and offended this young lady. We will apologize immediately, and I hope His Highness will not take the blame."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the older young master winking at the people behind him. The young masters understood, and immediately stepped forward to bow to Xiao Jinxuan repeatedly, apologizing in panic.

But today's Xiao Jinxuan, no matter how in the mood to pay attention to them, pushed everyone away, and continued to walk forward with an expression on her face.

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan leave, Zhou Xianyu, who had been silently following her since just now, immediately followed her without saying a word.

After he left, the young masters were relieved, but before they had time to rejoice, Zhou Xianyu Xiemei's voice came to their ears clearly.

"Take those two trash on the ground and get out, especially the one surnamed Liu, and tell his father, Liu Hua, that he won't have to enter the palace to work tomorrow. A mere fourth-rank head of guards dares to be carried in front of the king. Unfortunately, he climbed up from the bottom of the barracks, and his son can't manage well, it's really embarrassing."

The sudden sound frightened the young masters so much that they didn't dare to delay any longer, pulled up the two unconscious companions, and left in a hurry.

Zhou Xianyu, who was talking about sending these people away, was not idle at this moment. Once he caught up with Xiao Jinxuan, he ignored the opponent's struggle and forcibly brought them to the side of Yingyue Lake.

Yingyue Lake is a man-made lake in Changping City. It is shaped like a crescent moon and the water is clear to the bottom. Especially when the night falls and the bright moon hangs high in the lake, the whole lake is covered with white moonlight. Groups of koi are also shimmering, dreamlike and beautiful.

Looking at the lake in front of him, Zhou Xianyu showed a trace of melancholy in his eyes, and then said softly:
"Xuan'er, do you know that in order to meet you on the day of the Lantern Festival, I left the army for more than half a month and rushed back day and night, so that I could be with you on the shore of Yingyue Lake, light a candle, put Put on a river lantern."

Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help holding hands that were tucked into her sleeves tightly because of what the other party said, but her face was still as cold as ice.

"If Your Highness likes it, then you can stay here and light the lamp. Jinxuan never believed in this, so I won't accompany you."

After Xiao Jinxuan finished speaking, she turned hard and wanted to leave, but Zhou Xianyu hurriedly stopped her with a pleading voice.

"Xuan'er, I don't know what's wrong with you, but can you put a lamp with me tonight? In fact, this Yingyue Lake was built by my father for my biological mother, Concubine Rou. I told me that if in the future I meet a woman who I want to protect with my life, I will bring her to the lakeside and put a blessing lamp on it. Even if she has already left me, she will know this. Everything, and bless me happily."

Hearing these words, Xiao Jinxuan's heart couldn't help but ache, but she still walked forward resolutely.

And Zhou Xianyu behind her, after a moment of silence, stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Jinxuan's wrist, then forced her to turn around, and looked at him face to face.

Then, Zhou Xianyu suddenly took out a white as new silk handkerchief from his cuff, and on one corner of the handkerchief, there were a few worry-free grasses embroidered, a graceful "Xuan", the word, The cold and gentle imprint is there.

"Xuan'er, do you still remember when we first met, I hid in your carriage, and you helped me out, and even bandaged my wound with this silk handkerchief. I regard this silk handkerchief as a treasure, and I never leave it for a moment , doesn't this prove my heart?"

Xiao Jinxuan looked unmoved, and then snatched the silk handkerchief over. Although her eyes were already moist, she walked to the lake and threw the handkerchief into the lake.

"Zhou Xianyu, no matter what was between you and me before, it is now sinking into the lake with this silk handkerchief, and it all no longer exists. I hope you will never appear in front of my eyes again. I, Xiao Jinxuan, have never thought about it in my life. see you."

Xiao Jinxuan quickly lowered her head just before tears welled up in her eyes, and then walked forward quickly.

But before she walked ten meters away, Zhou Xianyu's extremely serious voice came to her ears clearly
"Xiao Jinxuan, then you can hear me clearly. I, Zhou Xianyu, want to be bound by you for the rest of my life. If you say that this silk handkerchief sinks into the lake, we will become strangers. But if this silk handkerchief never comes back In my hands, then you woman, take back all the words you just said."

Xiao Jinxuan was already in tears at this meeting, just when she was about to ignore it and continue to leave.

Suddenly, behind her, there was a loud sound of falling into the water. Xiao Jinxuan seemed to have guessed something in her heart, and hurriedly looked back in panic.

Then she saw that Zhou Xianyu, who was supposed to be standing by the lake, had disappeared, and there was only a huge ripple on the lake, quietly spreading around.
