Concubine's true colors

Chapter 203 Jinxuan's Tenderness

It has been more than two days since Xiao Jinxuan led soldiers to surround Xiao Shuai's mansion that day.

And after that day, when he returned to Yuwang Mansion and joined Zhou Xianrui, not only all suspicious people were checked, but also the remnants of Yuanjiang Escort Bureau and those who wandered in the city were all strangled.

Because Zhou Xianyu was injured, Emperor Ming knew that he was going to court, and he almost didn't pass out immediately, and immediately agreed that Zhou Xianrui must be dealt with strictly. Therefore, in the past two days, there has been a bloody storm inside and outside Changping City, and everyone is in danger.

However, Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu, who were the most seriously injured in this assassination incident, are staying warmly and alone in the Yuwang Mansion, not caring about the outside affairs at all.

After another two days, under the treatment of the imperial medicine, Xiao Jinxuan's left arm had deep bony scars. Although it had not healed, it had scabbed over, and she could still do it with a slight movement of her fingers.

So I saw Xiao Jinxuan holding an apple with his left hand and peeling the peel with a knife in his right hand, while Zhou Xianyu was lying on the bed nervously, looking at her affectionately and contentedly.

Seeing the small knife in Xiao Jinxuan's right hand slanted again, and almost missed it, Zhou Xianyu couldn't stand it any longer. After a while, he was already worried, and immediately coaxed and said:

"Xuan'er, I'm injured in the back, and there's no problem with moving my hands. Why don't I peel the apples for you to eat? Give me the knife quickly, so you won't hurt yourself later."

These two days, Zhou Xianyu really felt that this was the happiest time in his life. Xiao Jinxuan's coldness in the past not only melted away, but also thoughtfully stayed by his side, helped him change his medicine, fed him, and took care of him in every possible way. .

In fact, until now, Zhou Xianyu felt like he was dreaming. After all, Xiao Jinxuan's heart was too deep. He never expected to be injured this time. Instead, it was a blessing in disguise, making the other party open up and accept him.

Even Zhou Xianyu sometimes thought angrily, if he had known this method was so effective, then he would have been assassinated earlier, and he would have saved himself from suffering so long and suffering from lovesickness.

Fortunately, Zhou Xianyu just thought about this kind of thinking and didn't say it out, otherwise if Xiao Jinxuan knew about it, he would definitely be angry and had to turn his face against him.

Besides, Xiao Jinxuan, who was struggling to peel apples, heard that Zhou Xianyu wanted to do it herself, she immediately looked away from the knife, and glanced at him with a little reproach.

"Know that you are injured, so don't move around. It's just an apple, and I can get it myself. Besides, I want to peel it for you to eat with my own hands, so I'll do it myself."

Xiao Jinxuan's temperament is used to being cold, so even if she cared a lot about Zhou Xianyu in her heart, it was a caring and considerate sentence, but when she said it, it was still chilly. If someone doesn't understand her temper, it is estimated that this will be okay. She is angry.

However, Zhou Xianyu, who had been estranged by Xiao Jinxuan for so long without being frozen away, had long been immune to the other party's cold and lonely temperament.

So he smiled indifferently, Zhou Xianyu patted the bed beside him, and motioned for Xiao Jinxuan to sit beside him.

Xiao Jinxuan, who didn't want to pay attention to it at first, was about to refuse, but the next moment, she saw Zhou Xianyu, who was smiling all the time, suddenly drooped her head, and looked at him pitifully, with a look of being wronged. , but endured the appearance of refusing to speak.

The rejection that was about to be said was swallowed back. Although Xiao Jinxuan wrinkled, she still stood up from the chair, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down silently.

As his wish came true, he called Xiao Jinxuan over, and Zhou Xianyu couldn't help but feel a little proud. After spending two days together, he had mastered the other person's temperament.

If he forced Xiao Jinxuan to come over, or even begged, the other party would definitely refuse directly, but as long as he put on a wounded, pitiful and wronged appearance, basically Xiao Jinxuan would respond to his requests. He has tried this trick many times. It is a hundred tests and a lark.

And this time, Xiao Jinxuan spent half a day, but she had already peeled the apple by half, carefully cut off a small piece, stabbed it with the tip of the knife, and handed it to Zhou Xianyu.

"Be careful not to cut your mouth with the knife. I'll feed you piece by piece, so you don't move around, so as not to affect the wound."

Seeing that although Xiao Jinxuan's expression was not very tender and her voice was clear and cold, Zhou Xianyu could still feel that the other party really cared about him.

Immediately, Zhou Xianyu, who was so happy that he wanted to look up to the sky and laugh three times, immediately obediently obeyed, and did everything, eating the apple that Xiao Jinxuan peeled for him. For the first time, he discovered that this kind of fruit that he didn't like much in the past, could actually eat it. So delicious and delicious.

He was happily eating fruit, when suddenly Zhou Xianyu's gaze fell on Xiao Jinxuan's left arm, looking at the tightly wrapped gauze, his expression immediately darkened, his eyes flashed with pity and self-blame, and said :

"Xuan'er, it's all my fault. I failed to protect you safely, and you have to block the knife with your wrist for me. I'm afraid such a deep wound will leave a scar after it heals."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan's expression froze, then she was a little nervous, and asked tentatively:

"Scars will indeed be left. In fact, it is fortunate. The imperial doctor said that fortunately no tendons and bones were injured. Otherwise, even if this arm is preserved, it will be affected in future activities. But if there are scars, Zhou Xian Would you suggest it?"

In her previous life, Ji Lingfeng once told Xiao Jinxuan personally that even ten of her looks could not match Xiao Jinyu's, and this husband was finally fascinated by the other party, and abandoned her like duckweed, and even lived for Xiao Jinyu in the end. Took her life.

A woman's appearance is the most important thing. Xiao Jinxuan has a previous life experience, and she has a deep understanding of this sentence, so she saw that Zhou Xianyu was originally a dragon and a phoenix, and his appearance was also handsome and charming, which is rare in the world.

But she herself has an ordinary appearance and can only be called gentle. Now that there is another scar on her arm, Xiao Jinxuan must worry about whether she will be rejected by Zhou Xianyu, because she really has no courage. The old way of being abandoned by her beloved in her previous life, and her heart can't bear to be hurt again.

As for Zhou Xianyu, who had a relaxed expression at first, after hearing Xiao Jinxuan's question, he immediately held the other's hand, and asked nervously with doubts:

"Xuan'er, why do you have such an idea? What I like is you, not to mention just scars on your arms, even if you are disfigured beyond recognition. When everyone in this world abandons you, I will still be by your side. I will hold your hand for the rest of my life, because no matter how your appearance changes, you are my Xuan'er, and this will never change."

The uneasiness in her heart was slowly calmed down because of Zhou Xianyu's firm promise, and then Xiao Jinxuan chuckled lightly at herself.

"What I said just now, just pretend that I didn't say it. The road ahead is too long, and all we can have is the present. I used to worry that I would bring you misfortune because of myself, but it's just like what you said on the day you drew the sword. , instead of thinking about things that didn't happen, we are at least alive for now, and that's the most important thing."

Feeling that the topic was a bit heavy, Zhou Xianyu didn't like it, Xiao Jinxuan's eyebrows showed a little bit of worry, and he immediately changed the subject and said:
"Xuan'er, you don't know yet. Niu Jing sneaked in yesterday when you were out making porridge. He told you all about your aggressive methods these days. It seems that I will be I'm going to marry a tigress and come into the mansion."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xianyu deliberately put on a look of regret and regret, and Xiao Jinxuan covered his mouth and smiled.

"If you think I'm evil, you can just marry Xiao Niaoyiren. Anyway, Gu Qingge and you haven't divorced yet, so it's too late for you to regret it now."

Knowing that Xiao Jinxuan is not the kind of thin-skinned character who can't take jokes, Zhou Xianyu is not afraid of the other party's anger, but continues to smile and say:
"Gu Qingge is good, but whoever happens to like tigresses, but Xuan'er, you are really ruthless. You will first torture the villain you caught, then give him a scepter, and finally let him step on it with bare feet. You don’t even know about the burning coals, this matter is now spread in the Beijing military camp, my brothers are all sweating for this king, they are afraid that I will not be able to subdue you.”

The relationship between Zhou Xianyu and Xiao Jinxuan, as long as he was not blind when he took the knife out of danger that day, he could see that the two of them were deeply bound by each other, and they were the real couple.

Therefore, such an important discovery could not be hidden immediately, and the big-mouthed Niu Jing told it.

Therefore, there is no one in the Beijing military camp who does not know that although Zhou Xianyu gave him a marriage, he still loves the daughter of the commander-in-chief. Moreover, they are more interested in Xiao Jinxuan than Gu Qingge, the queen-to-be.

Especially after Niu Jing exaggerated how when Xiao Jinxuan was assassinated, she sacrificed herself to block the knife and stayed by Zhou Xianyu's side regardless of her own serious injuries.

Immediately, everyone from the generals to the ordinary soldiers in the Beijing military camp admired Xiao Jinxuan very much, and the other party was the granddaughter of Marshal Xiao, although it was hard for everyone to say anything publicly, after all, the marriage gift from Emperor Ming was still there.

But in private, this group of straightforward and upright soldiers in the military camp all vaguely hoped that Xiao Jinxuan would become their prince's imperial concubine.

Seeing Zhou Xianyu mentioning that she tortured the young man surnamed Chen that day, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help narrowing her eyes, and said with a snort:
"Planning to assassinate me in private, he deserved to die, and in order to survive, he did not hesitate to betray his master. This kind of person is really annoying. And I will kill him so cruelly, one is to make Zhao Yong's inner defense collapse, In order to get the information I want from him, another reason is to knock the mountain and shake the tiger, to scare out all the eyeliners hidden in the commander-in-chief's mansion that have not been cleaned up. After all, the boy surnamed Chen was still killed by me after confessing. The eyeliner who is not caught will definitely be extremely frightened, and it will be difficult not to show his feet when the time comes."

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan became more talkative when it came to serious business, Zhou Xianyu couldn't help smiling dotingly, and then said with approval:
"That's right. Although this trick seems vicious, it can dig out all the enemies in the dark with one person's life. Xuan'er is resourceful. You are really amazing. Every time I think you are good enough." But then you will do things that amaze me even more, you know that every time I see you strategizing, I really think that you at that time are simply too beautiful."

Speaking of it, maybe it is really a destined marriage. As a woman, if she is too ruthless and decisive, she must be feared and rejected in the eyes of others.

But it happened that Xiao Jinxuan's heart was ruthless, and Zhou Xianyu, a different kind, admired her so much, and even fell in love with it, prostrating herself under the pomegranate's skirt. I have to say that the two of them are really a perfect match.

Hearing Zhou Xianyu's blatant approval, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but blushed slightly. She just wanted to tell the other party not to talk nonsense, but she didn't want Wenxin's hasty knock on the door, but it sounded outside.

"His Royal Highness, and Jinxuan, you two hurry up and get ready, the emperor has already entered Yuwang's mansion, and is now accompanied by Prince Rui, and is coming this way."
