Concubine's true colors

Chapter 264
Xiao Jinxuan took the initiative to save her just right, and it was indeed what happened to Xiao Yunyan just now, which was too similar to the scene before her death in her previous life, so she was touched with compassion.

But thinking of Zhou Xianyu, the serious injury before the battle not long ago was caused by Beirong people, she would be looking at Xiao Yunyan, it's strange that she has a good attitude.

As for Xiao Yunyan, the shock in his heart couldn't be overstated, because he really didn't expect that the woman who happened to save him by chance would be so knowledgeable.

Not only do they have a clear understanding of the totem worship of their Beirong Kingdom, but they even know the royal family's surnames clearly. I always heard that the women of the Great Zhou Dynasty are better at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I don't think that among them, there is no lack of talent. generation.

Knowing that although Xiao Jinxuan's attitude is not good, she will not harm herself after all, immediately Xiao Yunyan nodded calmly, and then directly admitted it.

"I don't know how to address this young lady. It seems that I guessed well. You are definitely not an ordinary woman. Everything you said is true. I am indeed from the royal family of Beirong. This time I am here to congratulate Emperor Ming on his birthday. came."

Seeing Xiao Yunyan admit her identity so frankly, Xiao Jinxuan's unfriendly expression became a little bit better. Because of Zhou Xianyu's injury, she didn't have a good impression of the Beirong people.

But Xiao Jinxuan also knew that in a battle between two armies, winning by surprise and beheading the opponent's general is also a common strategy in the art of war, so she didn't go to the point where she wanted to kill Xiao Yunyan and then quickly because of this.

The reason why she asked the other party to leave quickly was that she really didn't like the Beirong people, and the other reason was that after knowing that the other party was a member of the royal family of another country, Xiao Jinxuan really didn't want to take the other party into the city in person, because it would be easy for her to give up. She caused no little trouble.

If once the matter of her close relationship with the Beirong royal family is revealed, Empress Xue's mother and son will easily make use of the issue, and if they fail, they will charge her with the crime of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, so as to suppress her. At that time, she was really speechless.

Therefore, just when Xiao Jinxuan wanted to urge the other party to leave quickly, suddenly the carriage stopped slowly tens of meters away from the city gate.

With a slight difference in her heart, Xiao Jinxuan rushed outside and asked, "What happened to Chiling, why did it stop moving forward?"

Hearing this, Chi Ling didn't open the car door, but lowered his voice and said cautiously:
"Miss, all the people's cars and horses entering and leaving the city gate were stopped by the people from the city defense camp. I saw a few people standing at the gate of the city, who were dressed similarly to the night warriors just now. I'm afraid this group of people is I'm looking for the person in our car, what should I do now, miss, do you want to rush over directly?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan raised her eyebrows beautifully, and then glanced at Xiao Yunyan in the car, only to see that the other party had already held the saber tightly in his hand.

She secretly sighed in her heart for trouble, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't tell that Xiao Yunyan seemed to have gone with Chi Lingxiang, and they were ready to forcefully break through the city gate.

She couldn't help feeling slightly, this person who knows martial arts is really good at using force to deal with dangerous situations, but this is the gate of the capital, so he broke in with no scruples. Afterwards, the responsibility is not light at all.

Immediately, he hurriedly signaled Xiao Yunyan to be safe and stay still, then Xiao Jinxuan lifted the curtains of the car, and then took a few glances outside.

Then she saw that what Chi Ling said was indeed true, the city gate was unobstructed when she left the city in the morning, there were already twenty or thirty soldiers there, holding their hands tightly.

Passers-by and carriages were all being checked, while a few people from the Yexun Kingdom stood aside, carefully identifying every citizen who was stopped, and they could tell that they were looking for someone without guessing.

As for who they were looking for, if nothing unexpected happened, it must be Xiao Yunyan.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Jinxuan immediately ordered Chi Ling to remain normal, and not to wait in line for a search, but to drive directly to the city gate, and then she would have a way to deal with those guarding soldiers.

And seeing someone set up a card search in front of him, Xiao Yunyan knew very well that rushing over would be tantamount to throwing himself into a trap, but looking at the woman in the car with a calm demeanor, he always cared about his own affairs and didn't want to be manipulated by others However, there was an inexplicable sense of trust in Xiao Jinxuan in her heart.

Therefore, knowing that getting out now was the only chance, Xiao Yunyan chose to stay in the carriage, quietly watching how Xiao Jinxuan would deal with the next situation.

After a while, the carriage had already arrived at the gate of the city, and immediately three soldiers stopped the carriage with spears in their hands. One of them even scolded and said:
"Who are you? Hurry over there and wait in line to enter the city. Now that the city gate is under martial law, you can only enter after a search. If you dare to break in, be careful, I will arrest you all and go to the prison. "

As soon as the soldier's words fell, Xiao Jinxuan's cold snort came from inside the carriage, and then her cold voice came out calmly.

"I don't know when you people in the Beijing military camp have the right to take people directly into the sky prison. The sky prison has no personal approval from the Holy Lord, or a document from the official department. You can take anyone into prison. No way, a mere soldier dares to utter wild words here, so despise the law of writing, I think the most suitable person to be imprisoned is you, Chi Ling showed him the waist card."

The soldier whose face was reddened by Xiao Jinxuan's words originally knew that what the other party said was true, but looking at the dilapidated carriage in front of him, no matter how he looked at the people sitting inside, his status was not that high.

So the soldier wanted to make things difficult directly because of his low-minded mentality, but at this moment Chi Ling took out the waist card of the commander-in-chief, and stretched out his hand to the opponent's eyes.

"Open your dog eyes and see clearly. The person sitting in this carriage is Miss Jinxuan from the Shuai Mansion. My lady's carriage. Since you are not qualified to mess around, why don't you hurry to get out of the way for me."

Xiao Jiadiao had a tiger totem badge, and when it was revealed, the soldier with an extremely arrogant expression just now turned pale with fright. He really didn't expect that there would be someone with such an identity sitting in such a dilapidated car. Don't talk about stopping him immediately, he almost gave up his legs and knelt down on the ground.

Seeing that the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to stop them, Chi Ling immediately heaved a sigh of relief, and then drove the carriage to the city.

In fact, it was not just the soldiers outside the car, because they suddenly knew Xiao Jinxuan's identity, they were so frightened that their liver and gallbladder were torn apart.

Even Xiao Yunyan in the car was shocked. Although he had guessed the other party's identity countless times, he never thought that Xiao Jinxuan would be a member of the Da Zhou family.

Mainly, he was also misled by this dilapidated carriage, after all, there was no family mark on it.

In addition, Chi Ling is still the way of martial arts in Jianghu, Xiao Yunyan just now, really regarded Xiao Jinxuan as a member of the martial arts family, but now thinking about it, it is too wrong.

Just when Xiao Yunyan saw the crisis was resolved and wanted to say a few words with great interest to the handsome daughter in front of him, suddenly the carriage swayed and was stopped again when it was about to enter the city.

Xiao Jinxuan frowned slightly. Now that she knew her identity, but still dared to stop the carriage, it could only show that those who stood in the way outside were not afraid of her identity at all.

He signaled Xiao Yunyan to lean closer to the inside of the carriage in a concealed manner, and at this moment, a middle-aged man's polite but extremely strong voice came from outside the carriage:

"Miss Jinxuan was sitting in the carriage. Now the city gate is under martial law to search for a villain. Even if you are from the commander-in-chief's mansion, you must go through a search before entering the city. Please forgive me for the offense, but this is from our Beijing military camp." As for the responsibility, I hope that Miss Jinxuan will get off the carriage immediately, if you delay, Ben Dutong will have to suspect that there is indeed something suspicious about your carriage."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan did not get out of the carriage as she said, after all, if the carriage door was opened, then Xiao Yunyan would definitely be exposed.

So she only opened the curtains of the car, and said in a calm voice:

"The meaning of what this lord Dutong said is that he has already decided that my commander-in-chief's mansion is hiding bad people, and I am a woman. If you let you search my carriage, won't Jinxuan's reputation be ruined?" Once, but right now I am alone and weak, there is nothing you can do if you want to forcibly search me, but if after a search, I don't find the villain you mentioned in my car, then I, Xiao Jinxuan, would like to ask you for an explanation. I’m not going to let this matter go.”

Now in the capital, no one knows that Xiao Jinxuan is a new nobleman who is favored by the new nobles. Not only is the Royal King adoring her, but she is also in the eyes of Emperor Ming and Concubine Liang, who treat her with great care.

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan did not resist the search, but if nothing was found, the other party would definitely pursue the responsibility.

The commander-in-chief's mansion was already a giant, and no one dared to offend it easily. In addition, the other party had the royal family in charge, so even the commander-in-chief didn't dare to go forward and search directly.

After all, Xiao Jinxuan did not cooperate with the search, and her behavior was a bit weird, but this did not mean that there was definitely something wrong in the other party's carriage.

As soon as the carriage opened, the other party would directly argue with them on the grounds that their boudoir name was damaged. Just thinking about the consequences would make people feel extremely headache and embarrassing.

Just when the Dutong was in a dilemma, suddenly a civil official in official uniform, followed by five or six Yexu people, came up to him in a few steps.

Looking at Xiao Jinxuan's face showing the car window, and after confirming that the badge of the handsome mansion is real, he immediately cupped his hands and said:
"Miss Jinxuan, this is Pei Jian, the servant of the Ministry of Rites. This time, envoys from all over the world came to Beijing to congratulate them. I am in charge of arranging these foreign envoys. But today, the envoy of Jiedu came to inform me that someone intends to assassinate him. Make sure that all the envoys from neighboring countries who come to our Great Zhou do not need to panic, so they have to set up roadblocks and search the vehicles and horses of the people passing by. This search has been approved by Prime Minister Xue, so please get off the car immediately, Just don't get in the way of our routine."

What Pei Jian said was very rude, and she even meant to force Xiao Jinxuan to get out of the car.

The Xiao family is indeed deeply rooted in the capital, and no one would dare to offend easily, but don't forget that almost all of the civil servants in the Great Zhou Dynasty have inextricable connections with the Prime Minister's Mansion.

And Pei Jian, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, is a student of the Xiangfu. The Xue and Xiao families are at odds. Now that they have the opportunity to make things difficult for the Xiao family, let alone Xiao Jinxuan did not cooperate with the inspection. Even if they really accept the search according to the rules, Pei Jian will find some reasons , deliberately save the other party's face.

After all, if Xiao Jinxuan loses face and is ridiculed, the handsome mansion will lose face. As long as there is a chance to target the Xiao family, people from the Xiangfu family will spare no effort to entangle them to the end.

Especially Xiao Jinxuan, Pei Jian knew very well that the other party had often turned against the Prince of Thailand, so now that the other party fell into his hands, if he didn't make it difficult, he had already made up his mind and would not let him go.
