Concubine's true colors

Chapter 369 The Bad Omen
Because Tuerling is located in the outskirts of Beijing, it looks very gloomy and lonely among the shadows of trees at night.

While the lively and grand temple fair on the mountain during the day, as the night darkened, pilgrims left one after another.

After all, the entire Town God's Temple fell into silence again.

Xiao Jinxuan, who originally planned to return directly to the commander's mansion after the temple fair, was in a trance because of the signed letter during the day.

Coupled with the huge crowds of people in the temple fair, the smell of sandalwood is quite strong.

So in the end, Xiao Jinxuan actually felt a little bit of heatstroke, and because of the restlessness, she almost didn't faint under the scorching sun.

Seeing her like this, everyone was afraid that the bumpy carriage would only make Xiao Jinxuan feel more uncomfortable.

So I found the Miao Zhu of the Chenghuang Temple, that is, the person in charge of everything in the temple and in charge of incense.

They also troubled the other party to arrange a few houses. In order to accommodate Xiao Jinxuan's body, everyone decided to stay here for one night before leaving.

But now at midnight, it was supposed to be the most relaxing time for people's body and mind.

However, Xiao Jinxuan, who was resting alone in a guest room, although her eyes were closed tightly and she was indeed asleep, her brows were clenched together, and a layer of sweat oozed from her forehead.

"Xianyu, leave quickly and leave me alone... Come on, leave quickly, don't, don't, don't!"

With a shrill and terrified scream, it was shouted out from Xiao Jinxuan's mouth.

Looking at her for a while, not only did her eyes open wide in an instant, but she also sat up from the slump all at once, panting heavily.

Because Xiao Jinxuan has never had the habit of calling people and waiting by her side at night, so when they are in the Lisanqiao Courtyard, Zhuxin and Baishu always rest in the small room next to the main house.If something happens, get up and check.

So today Xiao Jinxuan was still sleeping alone in the room, but her terrified scream just now was really too terrifying.

So Wenxin, who was sleeping next to her, had a hard time not hearing her.

And this time Wenxin had already got up, and knocked anxiously on Xiao Jinxuan's door outside, for fear that something might happen to the other party inside.

As for Xiao Jinxuan, who was sitting on the bed, it wasn't until Wenxin outside knocked on the sixth door in succession that she finally regained her composure and heard the sound of knocking on the door.

Panting and wiping off the cold sweat from her forehead, she casually put on the single clothes, and fumbled down to light the candles, and finally went forward to take the latch and opened the door.

As for Wen Xin who had been waiting outside for a while, thanks to Xiao Jinxuan's opening the door, otherwise he was going to break in directly.

Just when Wenxin wanted to ask Xiao Jinxuan what happened just now, taking advantage of the dim candlelight in the room.

But before the words were spoken, Wen Xin saw the other party's pale face, without any blood, and a shaky and sluggish appearance.

Immediately ignoring to speak, Wen Xin hurriedly stepped forward to support Xiao Jinxuan, and then brought her back to the front of the collapse and sat down.

"Jinxuan, you are having nightmares again. Why are you having trouble sleeping at night again? I remember that you haven't been troubled by nightmares for a long time. Is it because you are too tired today that you are restless?"

Hearing Wenxin's words, Xiao Jinxuan, whose mood eased a lot, immediately said in a hoarse voice:
"Wen Xin, please pour me a glass of water. That's right, I did have a terrible dream. And the dream gave me a very unlucky feeling."

Upon hearing this, Wen Xin naturally poured a glass of water for Xiao Jinxuan quickly. When he saw the other party take the glass, his hands were trembling slightly, and he couldn't help but said worriedly:
"Jinxuan, stop thinking about it. Dreams are fake, but they can't be taken as real. If you say it's unlucky, you have seen it today. The city god sat down to worship the ghosts in the temple, and the leader of the ghosts, Bai Ling Devil, he also has white beard and hair. When I go in like this, those pilgrims are all pointing at me, if it is true that I bumped into a devil, wouldn't it be more unlucky than a nightmare."

While drinking a cup of tea, Xiao Jinxuan's sense of panic was completely suppressed.

After looking up at Wenxin's face, she said helplessly, dissatisfied:

"You're a good living person, why bother to compare yourself with the ghost in the Town God's Temple. What's more, the ghost Bailing has white beard and hair, but Wenxin, you just have two strands of white hair. In the future, this kind of unlucky There must be no more words to say.”

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan's mood had regained her composure, Wen Xin immediately chuckled, and really didn't want to mention Bai Ling Guizi anymore, but he asked curiously:
"Jinxuan, you have had nightmares before, but you have never seen a time where you would be so frightened that you screamed out loud. What exactly did you dream about? Tell me, maybe it won't be so after you tell me. Scared."

Hearing Wenxin's words, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes flashed a little uneasy, but after being silent for a while, she still said slowly:
"I dreamed of Xianyu. He was covered in blood and was surrounded by a large army. I wanted to save him, but when I pulled out the hairpin and stabbed the enemy, this person who was killed by my hairpin, But it has become Xianyu again."

After hearing the scene in the dream, Xiao Jinxuan closed her eyes in a few words and said with a sense of fatigue:
"You go out first, I want to be quiet by myself. If I can, I really want to rush to the frontier immediately. Wen Xin, you said that Xianyu has been away for more than a month, why hasn't a single letter been sent back? You said he won't be serious. Something went wrong."

The last time Zhou Xianyu was seriously injured and his life and death disappeared and was reported back to the capital, Xiao Jinxuan even rushed to Prince Rui's residence overnight, crying so much that she couldn't bear to live.

Although Wen Xin also felt that Xiao Jinxuan's dream was very unlucky, but if Zhou Xianyu really had an accident, he was really afraid that the other party would not be able to bear it.

But seeing that Xiao Jinxuan didn't talk anymore after persuading her for a while, Wenxin immediately felt that it might be a good idea to ask the other party to be alone.

So after giving Xiao Jinxuan a few more instructions, Wen Xin went out and helped the other party to close the door again.

After Xiao Jinxuan was the only one left in the room, she didn't move or speak just now, but now she took the worry-free hairpin from under the pillow in her hand.

A tear fell from Xiao Jinxuan's eyes, and dripped on the worry-free flower on the hairpin handle.

Looking at the token of love that Zhou Xianyu gave her, Xiao Jinxuan felt extremely bitter and uncomfortable in her heart.

Standing up and pushing open the window, Xiao Jinxuan felt that the feeling of chest tightness and almost suffocation just now seemed to be relieved a little when the cold air outside was blowing in front of her face.

He looked up at the sky outside, but today was a dark cloud-covered night, and the moonlight that should have been revealed was not visible at all.

Taking off the red gold hairpin cover outside the worry-free hairpin, Xiao Jinxuan withdrew her gaze from looking up at the sky, then looked down at the hairpin in her hand, and muttered to herself:

"Xianyu, do you know that I obtained a lottery for you today, but it was a sign of a great ominous situation. Now I dreamed that you were covered in blood and died an untimely dream. If there was an accident with Xianyu, it must have happened because of me." It's all my fault, it's because I'm greedy and reluctant to leave you, I've been immersed in comfort for too long, I've even forgotten that I'm a rebirth of a wronged soul. And the opportunity for me to come here to live again is precisely Because I gave up all the love in the world."

Abandoning love and renunciation in exchange for a chance of rebirth and revenge, but with the appearance of Zhou Xianyu, their feelings for each other became stronger and stronger, and it was difficult to separate from each other.

Xiao Jinxuan gradually forgot about her original intention, even because what Zhou Xianyu brought her was a piece of sunshine, and everything recently was extremely smooth.

So that emotion will bring bad luck, like a curse-like shackle, Xiao Jinxuan is no longer so trembling, and she always remembers it in her heart.

But today's sloppy and old-fashioned words, like enlightenment, completely shattered Xiao Jinxuan's hard-won things now, and even the visions he had made for the future.

And even though the old Taoist had a sloppy appearance, every word he said hit Xiao Jinxuan's inner secrets and defenses directly, and there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Therefore, the more she believed that there was indeed some unforeseen postoperative surgery, the more Xiao Jinxuan couldn't let go of what the other party said that Zhou Xianyu had encountered an accident.

A little restless, she frowned again and closed her eyes, but Xiao Jinxuan's hand was unsteady because of her restlessness, and she was cut open by the worry-free hairpin.

This worry-free hairpin was made extremely sharp, so wait until Xiao Jinxuan feels the pain.

Her blood had flowed down the wound on her palm, half staining her hairpin.

First it was the ominous lottery, then the nightmare of Zhou Xianyu's death, and now even the worry-free hairpin that the other party gave her was stained with blood.

Xiao Jinxuan, who originally believed that in the dark, there must be mysterious omens that are unpredictable and difficult to explain.

After these unlucky things happened one after another, even if she had a calm temper, it would be difficult for her to calm down now.

After putting on the dress extremely quickly, Xiao Jinxuan didn't even care to comb her loose hair, and prepared to return to the capital overnight.

After going back, even if she tried everything, she also wanted to know exactly what Zhou Xianyu's situation was like over there.

But just when Xiao Jinxuan's hand almost touched the door, she never thought that the door would be pushed open from the outside.

Surprised, Xiao Jinxuan saw that Wen Xin, who had just left just now, had gone and returned, and the other party's face was even paler and uglier than her.

Seeing this, Xiao Jinxuan immediately asked the other party in surprise, what happened.

But Wenxin hesitated for a long time, opened his mouth a few times but squeaked, and couldn't utter a word clearly.

But now Xiao Jinxuan, who was rushing back to the capital, didn't want to waste time at all, so when she anxiously wanted to push Wen Xin away, she planned to walk out of the house.

Suddenly, behind Wenxin, there was a person wearing a black cloak, and after this person took off the hood, Xiao Jinxuan was surprised to recognize that it was Red Shadow.

And after Chi Ying stepped forward a few steps and bowed to Xiao Jinxuan, he said with a calm face and a calm voice:

"Since you can't tell Wenxin, I'll tell Princess Zhaoyang."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Ying suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Jinxuan.

Chi Ying, who has never had the slightest emotional ups and downs, said in a low and sad tone:

"At this afternoon, there are [-] miles ahead to send back urgently. On the way to the frontier fortress, His Royal Highness was ambushed by Yeying and other countries. Thirty thousand soldiers were wiped out, and His Highness died heroically. Now the palace is in chaos. , I also ask the princess to mourn, and make sure to make plans early."
