Concubine's true colors

Chapter 27 The King's Wrath

There is a small but very elegant building in the Hongmei Garden, named Yixuexuan. The sixth prince has a noble status and is also a male guest. Naturally, Xiao Heng invited him here, and all the officials also accompanied him. sit sideways.

The sixth prince, Zhou Xianqi, greeted these officials with a smile on his face. In fact, he quite enjoyed this feeling, because when he was in Changping, the capital, he was quite an inconspicuous one among the princes.

The crown prince whose background is inferior to that of the crown prince, whose family background is inferior to that of the second prince Prince Tai who is backed by the prime minister's mansion, his prestige is inferior to that of the upright fifth prince Prince Rui, and the favor of his father, he is even inferior to his seventh younger brother Zhou Xianyu and ninth younger brother. Zhou Xianchen.

It was the first time for the sixth prince to experience being surrounded by so many officials, big and small.

But before he could enjoy the meeting, suddenly a maid ran in from the outside, and shouted as soon as she came in: "Master, master, it's not good, the back house where the ladies and wives live, a villain has entered. "

As soon as Xiao Heng heard this, his face immediately became very ugly. He looked at the anxious girl, and secretly annoyed her for being too unruly.

Today, not only Yangzhou officials are here, but even the prince is here, but this maid said that there were thieves in the house. Didn't she just tell others that it's okay for Xiao Heng to rule the house, let Xiaoxiao break in, and it's the back house of the female relatives, If this is true, where will he put his face as a military envoy?

But under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Heng couldn't drive this girl out, so he could only suppress his anger and say: "Don't talk nonsense, maybe there are so many guests today, you are confused for a while, where did the thief come from. "

Xiao Heng is a military commander, so most of the servants in this mansion know how to punch, not to mention that he doesn't believe it at all, someone will break in, even if it is true, it will be in front of everyone, and he absolutely can't investigate, so many The bureaucrats watched, and if he made a slight mistake, he would be caught by his political opponents.

But the little maid who came in didn't care about Xiao Heng's sneaky winks at her, but took out another purple sachet.

Continued: "My lord, what I said is true. The man's behavior was very suspicious. The servant followed him and saw him get into the rockery by the lotus pond, and near there, the maid also picked up this sachet. It is embroidered with Miss Fourth's boudoir name, master, you should go and have a look, the maid is really worried that something will happen to Miss Fourth."

Xiao Heng couldn't sit still now, he immediately took the sachet into his hand, looked down, and saw a clear and graceful Chinese character Xuan embroidered in the middle of it, his heart was pounding. Shen.

But Xiao Heng is an experienced general after all, he was anxious, but he said on the face: "These four girls may have been careless because they were playful. You can send them to her when you turn around. It's just a trivial matter." , don’t be surprised.”

After finishing speaking, he handed the sachet back to the girl and signaled her to leave immediately.

However, at this moment, the sixth prince, who was firmly seated at the top, stopped the girl, and said with a concerned face: "Lord Xiao, it seems inappropriate for you to do this. Since there are suspicious people coming and going, miss His personal belongings happened to fall nearby, if you don’t go and take a look, this prince will feel uneasy.”

A look of anger flashed across Xiao Heng's face. The sixth prince's status is noble, after all, he came to be a guest, and now he has become the master of his family, but he still can't get angry, just when he doesn't know how to answer , Suddenly a lazy laugh came from outside the door.

"I said Sixth Brother, when did you become so sympathetic, but this is Xiao's family, you are too lenient. It really is that the capable work hard, and this is much more than what others say. .”

As the voice fell, Zhou Xianrui and Zhou Xianyu came in one after the other. Although everyone had heard that there were several princes from Yangzhou, except for the sixth prince, this Prince Rui and Yuwang, It was the first time that all the officials saw it, and they rushed to salute.

As for the sixth prince Zhou Xianqi, who was originally calm and composed, his face was full of embarrassment.

Why couldn't he hear it, Zhou Xianyu was insinuating that he was nosy and talkative, but he couldn't afford to offend this seventh brother, so he could only pretend that he didn't listen, and sat there silently.

Ji Lingfeng, who was sitting by the side, looked at the sixth prince with a look of sarcasm in his eyes, but he still stood up and said with a slight smile: "Your Highness Yu Wang's words are wrong, and His Highness Sixth Highness also has good intentions, but do you want to go and see?" , Naturally, it is Master Xiao who decides for himself."

Unexpectedly, after Zhou Xianyu listened, he smiled charmingly, and after looking at Ji Lingfeng for a few times, he said leisurely: "Master Xiao is of course in charge of Xiao's mansion, but no matter how I look at it, now my sixth brother's Lord, it was you who did it instead, and the master hasn't spoken yet, you are so loud."

The corners of Ji Lingfeng's eyes twitched twice. He has long heard that the Seventh Prince's mouth is as sharp as a knife. He always admits that his tongue is like a lotus flower, but compared with this Yu Wang who doesn't utter dirty words, he is really inferior. I want to refute it. , People's identity is there again, this feeling is really depressing enough.

At this time, Zhou Xianrui, with a face as calm as a mountain, also said: "Today I heard that Xiao's residence held a plum blossom feast, so I didn't come here without invitation. It would be nice for Master Xiao to accompany me to enjoy the plum blossoms."

Naturally, he was helping Xiao Heng take the opportunity to leave. Since he knew that the sixth prince and others were coming here for Xiao Heng, he naturally couldn't let the other party succeed. Yangzhou officials colluded, and this Jiedushi was his only one. Someone who might rely heavily on him, otherwise he wouldn't have come here to protect each other.

Xiao Heng naturally also knew that it would be best to leave, but in order not to offend the sixth prince, he said politely: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern for my fourth daughter, but my Xiao residence has always been safe and sound. , today is that girl who is too quick to talk, so let's go enjoy the plum blossoms."

In fact, it's not that Xiao Heng is not worried about Xiao Jinxuan, but he must not move now, otherwise, if something happens, his majesty, the Xiao family's face will be lost.

In Xiao Heng's current position, sometimes he has to make corresponding sacrifices. If something happens to Xiao Jinxuan, he can only lament the other party's poor fortune.

Seeing everything, it seemed that it just passed away. Ji Lingfeng and the sixth prince even exchanged glances, shook their heads helplessly, and secretly sighed that it was a pity for the layout.

Zhou Xianyu, who had been uttering words against the sixth prince, suddenly pushed away the officials surrounding him, walked up to the maid who reported the letter, and asked with a cold expression: "The person you said happened to be Xiao Si?" Miss?"

This girl, looking at the handsome Zhou Xianyu, didn't care about pleasing her eyes. The other party's angry face was really too scary. She just nodded in fright, and was too frightened to speak.

damn it!Zhou Xianyu was extremely annoyed, because he came late and did not see Xiao Jinxuan's sachet. He only thought that it was Xiao Jinlian who was set up. After all, the other party is a prostitute, and the effect is definitely the best.

That's why he was so calm and sarcastic, but now that he heard it, it was Xiao Jinxuan who he thought about day and night, who was designed, so he couldn't stay still.

His face was so gloomy, Zhou Xianyu kicked the door open directly, and was about to go out, he had to hurry over there, otherwise, that woman really did something wrong, and he couldn't forgive himself.

But before he stepped out of the door, he was grabbed by Zhou Xianrui from behind, and the other party said in a low voice: "Seventh brother, what are you doing, this is Xiao's residence, don't mess around."

A look of irritability flashed in Zhou Xianyu's eyes, he knew that Zhou Xianrui was reminding him not to act rashly, and he knew better that his going would naturally satisfy Ji Lingfeng and others.

But so what if he knows, let him ignore Xiao Jinxuan for the sake of the overall situation, Zhou Xianyu can't do that, let alone do that!
Without turning around, Zhou Xianyu directly waved away Zhou Xianrui's hand holding him, and said in a cold voice: "Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother is also right, if you don't take a look, how can you make people feel at ease, Xianyu will go and have a look , if there is a thief, I will kill him without a whole body."

That's right, if that woman made a slight mistake, he would not only tear up those who dared to hurt her, but also Ji Lingfeng and Zhou Xianqi who set things up, he would not let them go.

His people dare to make up their minds, they really don't know how to live or die!
Zhou Xianrui didn't speak, just watched Zhou Xianyu rushing out. He lowered his head and looked at his right hand, which was still shaking lightly because of the opponent's internal force, and frowned.

This was the first time Zhou Xianyu shot at him, although it was subconscious, it showed how furious the other party was just now.

Who is the Fourth Miss of the Xiao family, Zhou Xianyu cared so much, and even lost his composure in public, Zhou Xianrui felt that it was necessary for him to check the details of the other party.

Now the happiest ones are naturally the sixth prince and Ji Lingfeng. As soon as Zhou Xianyu went out, the two immediately followed. When other officials saw this posture, they naturally followed.

After a while, only Zhou Xianrui and Xiao Heng were left in the room.

Zhou Xianrui showed a helpless smile, and said in a low voice: "Lord Xiao, it seems that the king will not be able to help you out today, but my sixth younger brother is not kind, so you have to be careful."

How could Zhou Xianyu remind me at this time, Xiao Heng also saw that something was wrong, but he snorted and said: "Your Highness Prince Rui, let's go too, I want to see if the Sixth Highness is going to be in my Xiao family. , What kind of storms and waves are set off?"

The prince led the way, and all the officials accompanied him. Once this group of people appeared in the red plum garden, they didn't need to speak, which naturally attracted the surprise of the female relatives.

Ning Shi and Qian Yingluo, who knew the inside story, naturally hoped that the matter would become bigger and bigger, so under the intentional exaggeration of the two, many ladies followed the crowd and walked towards the lotus pond.The plum garden that was so lively in an instant suddenly became deserted.
Up to now, who cares about coming here for a banquet? The Xiao family saw that something happened, and it was definitely a big deal. People are curious, so they naturally wanted to join in the fun.

Zhou Xianyu took the lead and walked in the front. When he finally arrived in front of the rockery, he who was about to go in immediately stopped suddenly.

His eyes flashed in astonishment, and then turned into anger, and his hands in the robe were tightly clenched into fists. Although he didn't go in, he could faintly hear some movement from inside.

The panting sound, the violent impact sound, and the man's contented muffled sound all stimulated his head to buzz, because he knew too well what these sounds represented.

For the first time, he hated himself, why did the six senses have to be so sharp, otherwise, this time, he wouldn't be so painful that he could hardly breathe.

And the sixth prince, who followed Zhou Xianyu closely, saw that the other party just stood there and didn't move, he was anxious and wanted to go in first.

And urged: "Seventh brother, go in quickly, if Miss Si is really inside, let's go in earlier, and she will be safe sooner."

"Get out!" A shout mixed with strong murderous intent and anger came from Zhou Xianyu's mouth.

Seeing that he was still standing there, he suddenly stretched out his left arm, about to pass over his sixth prince, and blocked it in the chest, and the whole arm was even more violent, hitting the opponent's chest horizontally.

The sixth prince spit out a mouthful of blood with a "wow", and then flew upside down. Amid the exclamation of everyone, he fell to the ground, rolled his eyes and passed out.
