Concubine's true colors

Chapter 168
Xiao Jinxuan could clearly see the injury, doubt, and disappointment in Zhou Xianyu's eyes.

Especially the disappointed look in her eyes. In this world, anyone who thinks she is cruel and malicious, Xiao Jinxuan will laugh it off.But only Zhou Xianyu's gaze instantly wounded her completely.

But today the Emperor Ming granted the marriage, everything is a foregone conclusion, she still had time, try not to hurt Zhou Xianyu, and slowly alienate him.

But now there is no such time, because she knows Zhou Xianyu too well, if she doesn't get rid of his thoughts quickly, she will probably refuse the marriage after a while, and then it will be too late.

She has already caused the other party to be seriously injured once and jumped into the lake once, and Zhou Xianyu would never let Zhou Xianyu openly resist the order for her, causing him a whole body of infamy.

So Xiao Jinxuan snorted coldly, seeing Zhou Xianyu's brows were full of sadness, she still said with a frivolous smile:

"Your Highness, stop deceiving yourself and others. You might as well tell you clearly. In fact, I have always been pretending to be noble and deliberately ignoring your concern. You are not close to women. I know you are seven in Yangzhou. When I was the prince, I made a clear investigation. So I was thinking, since you have always ignored the woman who offered to be nice to you, if I did the opposite, I might be able to capture you, and it is obvious that I Your guess is really good, Your Highness is now in a trance just because of me."

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan's smug smile, her brows and eyes full of arrogance, even though Zhou Xianyu was desperately telling himself that what the other party said was not true, his heart couldn't help but burst into pain.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Xianyu's expression turned cold, then he looked directly into Xiao Jinxuan's eyes, and asked very seriously:

"Jinxuan, I'm asking you for the last time. Is what you said just now true? If you have been acting with me all this time, why don't you continue to act now? Didn't you say that you are acting for Princess Yu? Well, if you let go now, wouldn’t everything be in vain.”

Xiao Jinxuan looked at Zhou Xianyu, who was always smiling in front of her at any time, but now looked at her with a cold face, Xiao Jinxuan only felt that the blood in her whole body seemed to be completely frozen because of the other party's look Living.

With difficulty pulling out a little smile from the corner of her mouth, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes were flushed, but her voice pretended to be relaxed and said:

"Don't tell me you asked me once, Your Highness. Even if you ask me ten times, my answer will not change. As for why you gave up now, it's not because you are too stupid, Your Highness. Resisting the decree and refusing to marry, it will be all right for His Highness to be the prince, but I am just a little concubine. When the Holy Dragon's prestige descends, I will be impoverished by you. Since you like me so much, Your Highness For a long time, then you should treat it as a good deed, don't pester me any more, hurry up and marry your Princess Yu with peace of mind, how about we get together and part ways."

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan's face full of panic, looking like he was afraid of being involved, Zhou Xianyu's breath was stagnant, he felt that his eyes were dark, and he took two steps back unsteadily, then he stopped again, and then laughed bleakly Twice.

"I prepared to resist the order and refuse marriage for you, but what about you, Xiao Jinxuan? In order not to be implicated by me, you can't wait to separate yourself from me now. You are a woman, I really see you right, you are cruel and vicious enough, Ruthless enough!"

Zhou Xianyu raised his head violently, his tender eyes no longer existed, his eyes were scarlet like blood, and he looked at Xiao Jinxuan fiercely.

"It was me, Zhou Xianyu, who was blind and regarded a scheming woman like you as a love that I would protect with my life. But since you lied to me, why didn't you continue to play with me? This king knows the truth, Xiao Jinxuan, don’t you want to distance yourself from me? Don’t you always want to refuse? That’s good! This king will fulfill you now. !"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xianyu's eyes were full of hatred, and he looked at Xiao Jinxuan with great reluctance, then he lifted his sleeves, turned and left resolutely.

Zhou Xianrui, who was standing by, saw Zhou Xianyu leaving angrily. Although he had already guessed that this would be the result, he still couldn't help feeling sorry for him, and glanced at Xiao Jinxuan.

"Wen Qing, Miss Fourth will be taken care of by you. I'll go and look after Seventh Brother, so as not to cause any trouble when he gets angry."

The last few words of Zhou Xianyu Shicai were too sad and indignant, so he yelled so loudly that even Shen Wenqing, who was standing far away, could hear them clearly.

And if Zhou Xianrui hadn't told her Xiao Jinxuan's real intentions now, to be honest, she would still feel that this Fourth Miss is hypocritical and ruthless.

But now, Shen Wenqing knew that all that Xiao Jinxuan did was to protect Zhou Xianyu safely for her own sake. This forbearing protection moved her more than the feelings of those sworn vows.

Women are emotional animals, so Shen Wenqing shed tears and sobbed twice, she said to Zhou Xianrui Fuli:
"My lord, just go. You can rest assured that Miss Four has me here. It's just that it's difficult for the two of them. They are a good couple. Is there really no way to remedy it? My lord, you must not stand by and watch."

Zhou Xianrui didn't speak, just nodded, and then gave a few more instructions, then quickly chased in the direction Zhou Xianyu left.

Shen Wenqing, who was left alone, didn't delay at this time, wiped away her tears, and walked into the small gazebo with pity on her face, stretched out her hand and patted Xiao Jinxuan gently.

But her touch didn't matter, Xiao Jinxuan, who was standing there quietly, watching Zhou Xianyu leave, suddenly seemed to be drained of all the strength in her body, staggered and fell to her knees on the ground.

The mocking smile intentionally pulled out from the corner of her mouth was still frozen, but Xiao Jinxuan suddenly grabbed herself tightly. The front of her chest, like a fish out of water, gasped heavily, her face was also pale, and her whole body was pale. Wei Wei kept shaking.

Shen Wenqing was taken aback, and after she realized it, she was moved to tears again, and hurriedly went to help Xiao Jinxuan.

"Jinxuan, it's cold on the ground, get up quickly, my sister knows you're feeling uncomfortable, so I'll accompany you back to your residence from the palace, we won't stay here anymore."

Just now, Xiao Jinxuan had no strength left after pushing Zhou Xianyu away so badly, but she still relied on Shen Wenqing and stood up slowly, but she directly rejected the other party's proposal.

"Sister Shen, Jinxuan, I beg you to help me return to the palace banquet immediately. I really can't take a step now. Zhou Xianyu is impulsive and does things regardless of the consequences. Since I have already performed most of this play, the ending is natural." Also do well, if I leave now, he will doubt what I said just now, and if he really protests and refuses the marriage, then it is because of me that he has caused trouble again."

Xiao Jinxuan's words made Shen Wenqing's nose sore. Although her heart ached, she couldn't bear to refuse the other party's request, so she had to help Xiao Jinxuan with difficulty, and the two slowly returned to the palace banquet.

When she was about to enter the Jinhua Palace, Xiao Jinxuan stopped in her tracks, took a few deep breaths, put a decent smile on the corner of her mouth again, and then walked in with her usual expression.

But only Shen Wenqing, who was supporting her, knew how much the other person's body was shaking. She was even worried, for fear that Xiao Jinxuan would not be able to hold on and would just faint in public.

But obviously, she still underestimated Xiao Jinxuan's endurance.

After Xiao Jinxuan was seated, not only was she chatting and laughing with Xiangping as usual, but she also congratulated Gu Qingge a few times. The distraught look before was really unnoticeable.

And this appearance of hers is deeply dazzling to a person, and this person is naturally Zhou Xianyu who came back one step ahead.

In fact, after Zhou Xianyu left angrily, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, feeling that Xiao Jinxuan deliberately drove him away, and that he did this for his own sake.

But now his heart ached like a twist, but Xiao Jinxuan acted like a normal person, talking and laughing there, as if she was very happy and relieved because she got rid of him.

With this discovery, Zhou Xianyu, who was depressed on the spot, almost didn't hold back his internal injuries, and the suppressed anger immediately came up again.

Taking advantage of Zhou Xianrui, who had been staring at him, without paying attention, he raised his glass and walked towards Xiao Jinxuan.

But after coming closer, Zhou Xianyu didn't look at Xiao Jinxuan, but bent down to get closer to Lu Qingge.

And the voice revealed the usual lazy tone, and said very gently:
"Qing Ge, you liked the palace banquet tonight, you will be my princess soon, and the glory of this king will be yours in the future, for this celebration banquet, should you also offer a toast to this king? "

He personally asked for this celebration banquet and carefully participated in the arrangement. In fact, Zhou Xianyu's original plan was to take advantage of tonight to ask the Emperor Ming to grant him a marriage in public and welcome Xiao Jinxuan as his concubine.

It's just that the marriage has been granted now, but this concubine is not the one he wants to marry. Although he has no feelings for Gu Qingge and Zhou Xianyu, seeing Xiao Jinxuan's calm expression, he feels very suffocated.

Since the other party is not uncomfortable, if he is frowning, wouldn't it be too spineless, so for Zhou Xianyu in this meeting, he purposely got close to Gu Qingge in order to get angry with Xiao Jinxuan.

But how did Gu Qingge know this, seeing the man whom she has loved for more than ten years, not only talking to her tenderly, but also drinking with her, immediately her face turned red, and because she was so excited, tears even fell down.

In the end, it didn't matter if she cried, Zhou Xianyu, who was bending over to get closer to her just now, immediately stood up in annoyance, frowning tightly.

When Xiao Jinxuan shed tears, Zhou Xianyu regarded every drop of tear as a treasure, but this did not mean that when he saw any woman cry, it would arouse his love and affection.

On the contrary, Zhou Xianyu really doesn't like women crying. Every time he sees a woman crying, he will think of his deceased mother and concubine, how she shed tears every day before she died.

So Zhou Xianyu himself thought it was amazing that he could not resist Xiao Jinxuan's tears, but Gu Qingge didn't have the slightest bit of treatment from the other party.

When Gu Qingge saw Zhou Xianyu's attitude changed drastically, he immediately stood up in panic and poured himself a glass of wine nervously.

"Your Highness is my fault. You said you wanted me to toast, but I was so clumsy and stunned for so long. Qing Ge should do it first. I hope you don't get angry."
