Concubine's true colors

Chapter 286

Hearing that Lovesickness Gu might have succeeded, Zhou Xiantai nodded in satisfaction at first, but then he said apologetically:
"Ling Feng, I know that in this matter, you will not only have to bear the risk of Gu worms, be forced to tie your life with Xiao Jinxuan, but also marry a woman you don't like. But the king and the queen mother made this The decision is indeed forced, I hope you will not bear any grudges against His Highness in your heart, after all, in my heart, Zhou Xiantai, I have always regarded you as a brother and sister."

Hearing this, Ji Lingfeng didn't complain at all, and even knelt down on one knee in front of Zhou Xiantai immediately, with a sincere and loyal expression on his expression.

"Your Highness's words are terrific. Now that your great career has not been accomplished, even if I really hate Xiao Jinxuan, I have to admit that this woman is indeed a rare talent in terms of strategy and power. In the Commander's Mansion, it is indeed more valuable to make her surrender and be used by you than to kill her directly. Therefore, for His Highness, Ling Feng is willing to let lovesickness Gu enter his body."

Seeing the extremely satisfied expression on Zhou Xiantai's expression, Ji Lingfeng continued;

"Last time we tried to assassinate Xiao Jinxuan once, but since we have failed, we have already missed the best time to kill her, but if we don't stop her, the other party will marry Yu Wang soon, Zhou Xianyu already has tens of thousands of military power in his hands. If there is Xiao's help, it is delusional for His Royal Highness to control one or two soldiers. Therefore, this strategy of the Empress is very appropriate. Not only can Xiao Jinxuan be accepted, Forced by lovesickness Gu, she has to obey His Highness's orders, and it can also destroy the chance of Yu Wang to improve his strength. It can be said to be a clever plan that kills two birds with one stone."

In fact, to be honest, how could Ji Lingfeng be willing to tie Xiao Jinxuan's life tightly together through lovesickness Gu?

It's just that this is an order from Empress Xue. After all, Emperor Ming now regards Xiao Jinxuan as his default daughter-in-law.

Apart from the opportunity to make a request to the emperor when the number one scholar had an audience for the first time, there was no other way to snatch Zhou Xianyu away from Zhou Xianyu's side.

Therefore, knowing that no matter whether he agrees or not, Empress Xue will eventually use Lovesickness Gu on him, Ji Lingfeng knew that he had to show it, and accepted it more readily, in order to gain the appreciation of Empress Xue's mother and son.

Sure enough, after hearing Ji Lingfeng's generous speech, Zhou Xiantai laughed and helped him stand up himself, and he was really satisfied with his performance and attitude.

At this time, Ji Lingfeng took out another letter from his arms, and then said with a helpless smile:

"Your Highness, Ling Feng may be leaving the mansion tomorrow. Xiao Jinyu sent me a letter, and she was quite dissatisfied that we have not attacked Xiao Jinxuan. So she said that she couldn't wait, so she had to go to the Duke's mansion on her own." Get rid of the other party, but now my life is already tied to that concubine, so not only can I not kill her now, but tomorrow I know she is in danger, and Ling Feng has to protect her for a while. The relationship between them has really become more and more interesting.”

Ever since they first met in Yangzhou, Ji Lingfeng and Xiao Jinxuan have been fighting each other constantly, and even after the other party came to the capital, it has become like fire and water.

Suffering big losses in Xiao Jinxuan's hands again and again, Ji Lingfeng indeed killed the killer several times, wanting to get rid of the other party and then quickly.

But in fact, deep in his heart, there is also a trace of desire to conquer, which is just around the corner.

And for Xiao Jinxuan, although he regarded him as a strong enemy, he really couldn't help but secretly admired this woman who made him grit his teeth with hatred.

But now because of lovesickness Gu, Ji Lingfeng originally thought that he would be very resistant to the feeling of being closely locked with Xiao Jinxuan when he thought that he was going to protect the other party's safety.

But when the matter came to an end, he realized that he was not disgusted, and there was even an inexplicable sense of joy in his heart.

The fluttering snowflakes did not stop falling before the dawn of the next morning, and in the colder and colder season, the swaying pedestrians on the bustling Changping Street on weekdays did not notice Much less.

But on such a cold, windy and snowy day, Xiao Jinxuan was sitting in the carriage with the stove in her hand, and was rushing to the Duke's Mansion with the rest of the Xiao family.

Sitting in the same car with her was Xiao Jinxuan. Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan closed her eyes slightly and looked calm, the other party couldn't help but said in a worried tone:
"It's not Jinxuan who said you. When you go to the Duke's mansion this time, the old lady will probably make things difficult for you. Why didn't you take the maid who knows martial arts with you on weekdays? Otherwise, something really happened. There is also someone who will take care of you."

Caressing the copper heater in her hand, Xiao Jinxuan slowly opened her eyes, and then said with a light smile:

"Cousin, you don't need to worry about me so much. We were invited to visit the Duke's Mansion, and we didn't want to break into a dragon's pond or a tiger's lair. As for Chi Ling, she was not feeling well, so I left her in the courtyard to rest, and my sister didn't have to. Worried, Jinxuan knows it well, even if the Bai family really intends to target, I will not stand still and let others bully me."

Knowing that Xiao Jinxuan's planning has always been right, she is not like an ordinary girl in a boudoir. Although she looked relieved when she saw the other party, she did not relax her vigilance.

Immediately, Xiao Jinwen smiled reassuringly, and didn't say anything more.

In fact, Xiao Jinxuan didn't know that this time, before the state banquet, the Duke's mansion invited them to the mansion in such a hurry. No matter how you look at it, it seems weird.

But the Duke's Mansion is her grandmother's natal family, and she has no reason not to refuse to come if the other party wants to go because of emotion and reason. In fact, she also knows that there will be troubles in this trip, and it will be much safer with Chi Ling by her side.

But the hidden guard has only just been built, Chi Ling is Zhou Xianrui's shadow guard, and she will personally supervise and train those orphans, it will definitely be more effective with less effort.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan directly transferred the other party to supervise the hidden guard yesterday, although it was true that there was no one around her for close protection.

But she believes that as long as she is careful, she should be able to protect herself, after all, no matter who it is now, at least they dare not deal with her blatantly.

Because the streets that occupy a better area in the capital are all set up by the nobles of the family, the distance between each other is not too far away, so it didn't take too long for the Xiao family's carriages and horses to arrive at the Duke. in front of the mansion.

In advance, there were servants of the Xiao family who went to the Duke's mansion to report the news, so it was seen that not only the door of the Bai family's mansion was wide open, but Mrs. Wu, who was the head of the family, stood there solemnly , I have been waiting for a long time with a smile on my face.

And beside her, Bai Liu also stood beside her quietly.

When Xiao Jinxuan and others got out of the carriage, the servants of the Bai family, because the snow was still falling, held umbrellas and led the way for them.

Madam Wu, who was watching this meeting, had already greeted the old madam. Although she had an extremely upright and charming appearance, although she was a little older now, she was still extremely beautiful and decent in her gestures and gestures.

"Old lady, please enter the mansion quickly. Today is really unfortunate. The weather is not good and it is snowing heavily. However, the old lady has been waiting for a long time inside. The weather is cold and the road is slippery. Let the niece and daughter-in-law personally help you in." Bar."

Mrs. Xiao is from the Bai family, and the current Duke Bai Dongyang is her brother's child, because Wu Fu is indeed the old lady's niece according to his seniority.

Even if Mrs. Wu is only an equal wife, calling the old madam like that is not an overstep.

The old lady was also very satisfied with Wu's filial and respectful attitude, and immediately walked into the gate of the Duke's Mansion with a smile on her face, being held by the other's arm.

In order of rank and rank, the one who followed the old lady in was naturally the eldest lady Zhao.

As for Mrs. Shen, because she is the widow of a meritorious official and has been bedridden for a long time, because of this kind of celebration, the Emperor Ming gave him grace many years ago, and the other party is exempted from participating.

In addition, Shen Shi had another cough, so this time he still stayed in the commander's mansion and did not come with everyone.

The old lady and Mrs. Zhao have already entered the Duke's Mansion, and Xiao Jinwen, who got off the carriage with Xiao Jinxuan, is also holding the hand of this cousin, ready to rush in together.

But just stepped up a step, two or three meters away from the gate of the house, Xiao Jinyu suddenly stopped in front of them, and gave Xiao Jinxuan a mocking look from deep in his eyes.

"Cousin Jinwen, if you want to go in, Yu'er naturally doesn't dare to stop her, but Jinxuan is a concubine and my own sister, so my elder sister hasn't stepped into the house yet, so she shouldn't be ahead of me in terms of dignity." One step, those who don’t know any rules, let’s move on first, so please let my cousin do what she wants, but you must leave Jinxuan to me.”

Seeing that as soon as he came to the Duke's Mansion, Xiao Jinyu was already full of confidence before entering the gate, and deliberately made things difficult here, Xiao Jinwen immediately couldn't stand it anymore.

But after all, she came to Bai's house as a guest, and she didn't want to lose her status in front of outsiders, so she immediately kept a quiet smile and said nicely:
"Sister Jinyu, you see, we are all sisters of our own family. It doesn't matter which one comes first. Why do you follow the rules of concubines like this? If you want, you can walk in front of your cousin , after Jinxuan and I wait for you to go in, it won't be too late to go together."

In order to prevent Xiao Jinxuan from being unable to step down, Xiao Jinwen would rather take a step back and ask Xiao Jinyu to walk in front of her with all her might.

Such remarks can be said to have been quite humble and conceded.

But it seemed that Xiao Jinyu was extremely aggressive when she came to Bai's house, so even if Xiao Jinwen reconciled it, she laughed without knowing it.

There was a teasing expression on the stunningly beautiful face, and then saw Xiao Jinyu, suddenly looked at the white snow in the sky, and said softly:

"Such a beautiful snow-colored scenery, my sister suddenly wants to be here, stop and enjoy it for a while, if the cousin doesn't want to go in first, it's not impossible, then stay here with Jinxuan later, after all, I'm doing this The sister-in-law didn't go in, and as the younger sister of the concubine, it's only natural for her to be here, Jinxuan, you said I was right."
