Concubine's true colors

Chapter 190
In the main hall, Xiao Jinxuan and the others analyzed the trick of poisoned wine today, and analyzed all the intentions of Queen Xue one by one.

Just after they had finished their discussion, the main hall door was pushed open, and then Zhou Xianyu walked in in a blink of an eye.

Because on the night of the banquet, every word Xiao Jinxuan said was heart-wrenching, and Zhou Xianyu, who was hurt and depressed, had a gloomy face for several days in a row, without a trace of a smile on his face.

But watching him now, not only was his face refreshed, but the signature evil smile between his brows also appeared on his peerless handsome face that turned all living beings away.

Especially looking at Xiao Jinxuan's eyes, the long-lost affectionate nostalgia reappeared in his eyes again.

After all, when he was fighting with Empress Xue, Xiao Jinxuan's worry and nervousness could not be fooled, but this negligible worry was enough to rekindle the enthusiasm in Zhou Xianyu's heart.

As for Xiao Jinxuan, she was also very annoyed at this moment, knowing that she had been ruthlessly acting for so long, and she was covered in bruises all over her body, but today she accidentally exposed her true feelings in front of Zhou Xianyu.

It's not that Xiao Jinxuan can't feel the passionate gaze of the other party, but what she can give the other party is an indifferent back view.

But even so, Zhou Xianyu, who had already been fooled once, no matter how cold Xiao Jinxuan was now, he told himself that he must not be fooled again.

Especially when I thought about Zhou Xianrui telling him before that the more alienated he was, the more he cared about his words. In Zhou Xianyu's heart, instead of feeling lost at all, he felt as if he had eaten honey. Everyone is happy outside.

Seeing himself, the seventh younger brother, returning to this cynical look, Zhou Xianrui shook his head helplessly, and asked with concern:
"Xianyu, Father didn't punish you just now, but you are really reckless. The concubine of the third rank was injured as soon as you said she was injured. If this matter spreads, it will have a considerable impact on your reputation."

Hearing this, Zhou Xianyu smiled indifferently, and said indifferently:

"That old man didn't make things difficult for me, and he also helped me solve a big problem. As for Concubine Qian Hui, if she wasn't afraid that killing her in Yanqing Palace would bring bad luck to the mother and concubine, it would be because she hurt Xuan'er first. , and then want to poison her with these two points, it’s nothing if she just cripples her wrist, I want to cut her throat directly.”

Seeing that Zhou Xianyu had finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of exerting force with two fingers. Zhou Xianyu and Xiao Jinxuan were fine, after all, neither of them were good men and women, and they didn't think there was any bloody discomfort in what the other said.

But Gu Qingping, a Confucian scholar who only read sage books, saw Zhou Xianyu's full of evil spirit, and thought of Concubine Hui's wrist spurting blood just now.

Immediately, he couldn't help covering his mouth and retching twice, and suddenly he became more worried about his sister.

After all, now Zhou Xianyu and Xiao Jinxuan, Gu Qingping has learned a thing or two about the depth of their relationship, and his own sister, Gu Qingge, seems to be an obstacle between the two of them.

Although Gu Qingge currently holds the title of Queen Concubine-to-be, Gu Qingping and Zhou Xianyu grew up together, so he knows that if the other party is really determined and does not want to marry his sister as a concubine, then he may be able to resist the order If you don't obey, the matter of defecting to Beijing will come out.

At that time, his younger sister will become an unmarried and abandoned princess. She probably won't be able to hold her head up for the rest of her life, and she will become the biggest laughing stock of the capital.

In addition to worrying about Zhou Xianyu's rebellion and willful actions, after seeing Xiao Jinxuan's ruthlessness and how well he planned and controlled things, Gu Qingping became more and more afraid.

Although he didn't understand why Xiao Jinxuan cared so much about Zhou Xianyu in private, but she was as cold as ice after meeting, but when he thought that if Gu Qingge married Princess Yu and offended this cruel and ruthless master, he didn't feel that his sister , will be Xiao Jinxuan's opponent.

I didn't see that people didn't even blink their eyes when they talked about dealing with Empress Xue. After thinking of Xiao Jinxuan's backing from the handsome mansion, Gu Qingping really felt that his sister was really confused. She shouldn't have been greedy and forced this Marriage, this is no different from suicide.

Just when Gu Qingping was in fear, worrying about Gu Qingge, the younger sister who was on his mind was led in by Shen Yunqing.

Coming to the front, Shen Wenqing greeted Zhou Xianrui with a blessing, then said with a smile:

"My lord, just now my concubine sent a message to me, saying that she is tired now, and it would be good if she was accompanied by my aunt, so that we can leave on our own, and now I have also found her in Qingge, do you see if we can go out of the palace together. "

At this time, Gu Qingge, who was following Shen Wenqing, stepped forward a few steps, and whispered with guilt on his face:

"It's all my fault, and I've troubled my cousin to find me. I heard that Xiangping is also looking for me, and she hasn't come back yet. Qing Ge is so stupid. She got lost in the palace, and everyone is worried about me. .”

Hearing this, Zhou Xianrui thought for a while, knowing that his mother and concubine might have already negotiated with Mrs. Gu, if no agreement was reached, then his aunt should have left angrily, not An Ran. stay.

Knowing that the concubine Liang's affairs had been settled, Zhou Xianrui felt much relieved, and immediately said to everyone: "Now that Qing Ge has been found, let's leave the palace together."

Then Zhou Xianrui looked at Shen Wenqing again, and continued:

"A while ago, you didn't say you wanted to go back to Shen's house, but today is free, so I will accompany you back to your mother's house, visit your father-in-law, and discuss with him about disaster relief in Gansu."

Shen Wenqing was naturally overjoyed to be able to go back to her natal family, but then she glanced at Xiao Jinxuan again, and said with some concern:

"Xiangping has been out of the palace for several days, and now I can't accompany you back, Jinxuan, why don't the prince and I send you back to the commander's mansion first, and let you go back alone, I still feel a little worried."

But as soon as Shen Wenqing finished speaking, Zhou Xianyu immediately stood in front of Xiao Jinxuan, and said evilly with a smile on his face:

"Fifth sister-in-law, don't worry about it. I'll take care of the arrangements here. When will the two of you get along so well? If I send her back, fifth sister-in-law won't worry about it."

Surprised, she pointed at Zhou Xianyu, and Shen Wenqing looked at Xiao Jinxuan in astonishment again, wondering why the two who had vowed not to have any contact with each other during the palace banquet were now tied together again.

However, for this result, Shen Wenqing is happy to see it come to fruition, especially after Zhou Xianrui has told her that Concubine Liang is willing to help her, and if the matter of giving the marriage can be resolved, the couple in front of them will be able to have lovers and get married in the end up.

Therefore, seeing Zhou Xianyu's great hospitality, Shen Wenqing naturally wanted to fulfill this opportunity, she immediately covered her mouth and smiled, and did not mention the matter of sending Xiao Jinxuan off.

However, Shen Wenqing wholeheartedly hoped that Zhou Xianyu and Zhou Xianyu could reconcile as before, but at this moment, the hatred in Gu Qingge's heart was already so strong that it was about to swallow her up.

Thinking of what the other party said to her when she separated from Queen Xue, if she wanted to get Zhou Xianyu, she had to fight, win, and fight, otherwise the person she admired would eventually be snatched away by Xiao Jinxuan.

His hands were clenched into fists. He was supposed to be jealous of Gu Qingge because Zhou Xianyu loved Xiao Jinxuan so much.

This time, not only did she not shed painful tears, she didn't even show a trace of sadness, but she was still filled with a peaceful smile, and she took the initiative to step forward and took Xiao Jinxuan's hand affectionately.

Then she turned her head and said softly to Shen Wenqing: "Biao sister-in-law, you really don't have to worry. It just so happens that I will pass by the commander-in-chief's mansion when I go back. At that time, Qing Ge will send Jinxuan back with His Highness and my brother. Along the way My sister can still keep me company, which saves me the trouble."

Lu Qingge, who has been completely brainwashed by Queen Xue, naturally has his own plans for being so kind.

Because she didn't want to give Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu any chance to be alone together, as long as she was by her side, she could stare at them.

And Lu Qingge thought that she and Xiao Jinxuan showed a deep sisterhood, so no one would notice her intentions.

But she is a boudoir daughter after all, although she was bewitched by Queen Xue, her mental strategy is still not very clever.

Therefore, her obvious hypocrisy, it is estimated that no one in the room except her brother Gu Qingping really couldn't see what she was planning.

But regarding this, Zhou Xianrui is her cousin, so it's not easy to say anything, and Xiao Jinxuan wished for someone to stand in the middle, in case Zhou Xianyu got too close to her.

Although Zhou Xianyu protested depressedly twice, but in the end the four of them left the palace together.

Xiao Jinxuan and Gu Qingge are both daughters of aristocratic families, so they naturally wanted to be in the carriage.

But Zhou Xianyu, who had always been riding a horse, abandoned his old habits and got into the carriage in order to find various opportunities to get close to Xiao Jinxuan.

As for Gu Qingping, a frail scholar, he has never touched a horse in his life, so although he felt that the atmosphere in the carriage was a bit weird, he had no choice but to bite the bullet, and was sandwiched between the other three, and squeezed together in the carriage. middle.

Fortunately, the vehicles of the aristocratic families are always extremely spacious, even if four people are seated below, it doesn't seem too crowded.

And Gu Qingge, who promised to accompany Xiao Jinxuan and relieve boredom on the road, just looked at Zhou Xianyu obsessively, not to mention talking to Xiao Jinxuan, even if he didn't look at him.

But no matter how much Gu Qingge gazed through the autumn water, Zhou Xianyu's gaze remained on Xiao Jinxuan's body, even though the other party only looked out the window all the way, he still talked to himself, just to make her laugh one time.

Sitting in the car, Gu Qingping felt more and more uncomfortable. After holding back for a few quarters of an hour, he stopped the horse in the market, pulled Gu Qingge's sleeve, and said coaxingly:
"Sister, I want to go to the Golden Study for my brother, why don't you go with me. As for Miss Jinxuan, it's better to let Yu Wang personally send her back."

Seeing that his own brother actually wanted to push him away, leaving the two people in the car with a chance to be alone, Lu Qingge immediately refused.

But before she could speak, Xiao Jinxuan got up first, got out of the car, and said coldly:

"The three of you should go first. My second aunt is about to celebrate her birthday. I ordered a pair of jade bracelets for her in Baoqingzhai. The day to pick up the goods was today. I originally explained the matter to Wenxin, but Now that it’s not far away, I’ll go get it myself.”

After saying this, Xiao Jinxuan also got out of the carriage, and walked forward without looking back, but how could Zhou Xianyu give up so easily, immediately jumped out of the carriage without even thinking about it.

"Your second aunt, I called you aunt now, Jinxuan, wait for me, since it's my birthday, I also want to choose something as a congratulatory gift, let's go together."
