Concubine's true colors

Chapter 456 Past and Present
The sunset glow that dyes the sky red like fire is finally replaced by the quiet and charming night when the moonlight falls and the stars fill the sky.

And because of Zhou Xianyu's order, now in front of the camp tents of the Beijing military camp, there is a fire burning in the open air, and the big pot with beef and mutton is boiling milky white broth, overflowing with a rich aroma that tantalizes the appetite.

Although all the generals in the Beijing Army Camp knew very well that after this night, some of the brothers sitting beside them would probably die in battle, and they would never be able to get together again.

Therefore, although they cannot drink alcohol because they will march into the capital tomorrow, everyone still gorge on meat, laughing a few miles away, enjoying the moment of brotherly loyalty to the fullest.

And Zhou Xianyu, who ordered all the soldiers to gather together tonight, encouraged everyone to speak in public.And with the dagger at hand, he also cut and ate a few bites of beef.

Now he left the Beijing military camp, but under the charming moonlight and the shining stars in the sky, he led a white horse and walked slowly towards the golden orchid sea where he likes to sit quietly.

Seemingly enjoying the tranquility of this moment very much, Zhou Xianyu couldn't help opening his arms, raised his head and smiled evilly at the corners of his mouth, and let out a deep breath.

Then I saw Zhou Xianyu turned his head to look at the horse's back again, and then there was a flash of doting in his eyes, but he said reproachfully:
"Xuan'er, your injuries are still not healed, you should rest earlier. As for the words of revenge and rebirth that you said when your consciousness was blurred, I can see that you are hesitant to say it. If you really I haven't made up my mind, I don't have to know, and I don't want to force Jinxuan to do anything you don't like, so let's just go back and relax."

Just like what Zhou Xianyu said, Xiao Jinxuan, who was sitting on horseback, really frowned, and still couldn't make up her mind whether to tell the other party about her resurrection from the dead.

After all, who is it? This kind of unimaginable thing, if you tell it, it may be regarded as a different kind of thing by others. If you want to open up and tell the whole truth, it not only requires great determination, but also courage to speak out.

Because the more she loves Zhou Xianyu, the more Xiao Jinxuan cares about how the other party sees her.

Even if she really believed that Zhou Xianyu's intentions for her were true, but Xiao Jinxuan was still very nervous about whether a person like her who had been a ghost could be accepted by the other party.

But when Zhou Xianyu said such accommodating and understanding words, it gave Xiao Jinxuan the courage to tell the truth.

After all, Xiao Jinxuan's character is not a person who likes to hide, and if she doesn't tell the truth, there is no way for Zhou Xianyu to know why she forces the other party away from her side again and again.

As long as the words are opened, Xiao Jinxuan decides to let Zhou Xianyu decide whether to go or stay.

And no matter what the result is, she feels that for each other, it will be a relief after all, and there will be no concealment or estrangement anymore.

So seeing the sea of ​​golden orchids, whose flowers had all withered, arrived, Xiao Jinxuan signaled Zhou Xianyu to help her get off the horse.

When the two came to the raised and smooth boulder among the sea of ​​flowers again, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but sit down with her knees curled up, and then murmured with a smile:

"Xianyu, do you know why I must come here? Even if the golden orchids here are withered, this is the place where you had a long talk with me before you set off. I will tell you everything."

Looking at Xiao Jinxuan in front of him, gradually taking on a sad and lonely face, Zhou Xianyu did not interrupt the other party, but silently became a listener at this moment.

As for Xiao Jinxuan who was watching this meeting, she clenched her hands slightly and then let go, and then clenched her hands again.

After going back and forth several times, she finally made up her mind with difficulty, and looked at the Xuanyue high in the sky, and said in an ethereal voice:

"Xianyu, do you believe in past lives, reincarnation?"

Although Zhou Xianyu is a prince, he has long been used to seeing life and death in the battlefield all the year round, so after thinking for a while, he couldn't help chuckling and said:
"Jinxuan, talking about the reincarnation of ghosts and gods is too illusory after all. Anyway, after fighting on the battlefield for so many years, there are not a few enemy soldiers who died under my guns. But I have never seen those ghosts and monsters once, so I don't like these things. I don't really believe it."

Zhou Xianyu's answer was actually within Xiao Jinxuan's expectations, after all, the opponent is a warrior on the battlefield, and even a talented general, so naturally he will not be afraid of any ghosts and gods.

But after Xiao Jinxuan sighed slightly, she couldn't help turning her head and staring deeply into Zhou Xianyu's eyes, then said calmly:

"Xianyu, do you know that I, Xiao Jinxuan, used to be a ghost, and the feeling of turning into a ball of light after death, even after so long, I will never forget it."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianyu's lazy expression just changed, but before he could speak, Xiao Jinxuan signaled the other party to continue listening.

"Listen to what I have to say, otherwise I'm really afraid that I won't have the courage to continue talking after being interrupted by you."

After saying this, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but smiled bitterly, and felt that Zhou Xianyu was holding her hand tightly, and the warm feeling from his palm brought her great courage again.

"Xianyu, I have not only been a ghost, but also because my death may not be worthy of misery, so God gave me a chance to be reborn, so I can be said to be a human being in two lifetimes. And you may realize it now when you think back I realized that when I was in Yangzhou, Ji Lingfeng and I were in the same boat, and the reason why I was like this at that time was not just because I wanted to help Prince Rui and you. The main reason was because Ji Lingfeng was the champion first in the previous life, and then became Ling Wang. But I was his wife who had been with him for many years, but in the end when he gained power, he married Xiao Jinyu into the mansion. Not to mention abandoning me like a duckweed, he even cruelly forced me to death under his sword. "

While Xiao Jinxuan said this, tears flowed uncontrollably. After all, she was a human being in two lives, and no one would sympathize with her in her previous life, let alone help her.

But in this life, she hates the rebirth of the sea, turning into a ghost and being able to return to the underworld, which is the biggest secret in her heart.

Xiao Jinxuan didn't dare to tell anyone about it, even if she was plagued by nightmares every night, she could only choose to bear the pain alone, and she couldn't reveal the slightest bit.

But now she finally poured out all the backlog in her heart without reservation, and this pain was released. Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan's tears this time are a kind of catharsis, and even more a manifestation of relief.

But I have to say, Xiao Jinxuan's words are indeed too unbelievable.

Even though he had already made some mental preparations, Zhou Xianyu, who knew that the other party was bound to say something very different tonight, still couldn't help being surprised and shocked.

"Jinxuan, what do you mean? Are you saying that you are a person who lived once, and married Ji Lingfeng as the other's wife, and then died in his hands. Xuaner, do you think it's crazy? Why do you feel uncomfortable with the wound after that, after all, Uncle Ding has treated Fifth Brother safely, and now he is fine, why don't I take you to see him."

As soon as she heard Zhou Xianyu's words, Xiao Jinxuan knew that the other party thought she was ill again and appeared confused, so she said these words.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan, who had already gone all out and didn't intend to hide anything, couldn't help looking at Zhou Xianyu seriously, and then said very seriously:
"Xianyu, look into my eyes. I am very clear-headed now, and I know what I am talking about. It is true that Xiao Jinyu took my husband and killed my son, and then I was killed by Ji Lingfeng with a sword through my heart. And when I did a ghost Later, I was lucky enough to meet a mysterious existence who was willing to help me. I don’t know whether he is a god or a ghost. But with his help, I was able to return to the age when I was 12 years old in Meizhuang. My fate also began to change at that moment. Everything I said to Xian Yu is true, so don't question anything."

Xiao Jinxuan's clear eyes and calm speaking speed made Zhou Xianyu have to believe that the other party was not unconscious and talking nonsense.

And after listening to what Xiao Jinxuan said today, Zhou Xianyu, who had shown disbelief just now, suddenly fell silent.

Because since Xiao Jinxuan's identity was confirmed in Yangzhou, Zhou Xianyu, who took the other party very seriously at that time, was naturally curious about everything about Xiao Jinxuan, and even investigated in private.

Zhou Xianyu remembered that he really couldn't believe the result of that meeting for a long time.

Because after he investigated, he found out that Xiao Jinxuan had been bullied and trampled for the past 12 years, and the Xiao family ignored her as a concubine.

But at that meeting, Zhou Xianyu first saw with his own eyes how Xiao Jinxuan dealt with Xiao Jinfu in Meishan, and tried to play tricks on her, and directly disfigured Xiao Jinfu.

Then Zhou Xianyu hid in Xiao Jinxuan's carriage unintentionally, and then when he saw each other for the first time, how he dealt with those soldiers wittily, and finally helped him escape.

Cruel in heart and ruthless in plan, this was Zhou Xianyu's most intuitive view of Xiao Jinxuan at that time.

So he just couldn't figure it out at that time, in terms of Xiao Jinxuan's character.Zhou Xianyu really couldn't understand why the other party was above Mei Zhuang and was bullied and beaten by his subordinates, and he didn't resist at all. At that time, he felt that something was wrong.

But now when he heard that the other party said that he was reborn to be 12 years old, Zhou Xianyu couldn't help but suddenly thought that when he met Xiao Jinxuan, the other party was not at this age.

Therefore, after Zhou Xianyu coughed lightly to relieve his tension, he said tentatively:

"Jinxuan, in fact, I know everything about your past. You were bullied before but didn't know how to resist, and when I met you, Xuan'er was not a temperament to be manipulated by others. This is such a contrast Huge, and when I first met you, you were 12 years old. Could it be that what I saw at that time was that after you were reborn, your temperament changed drastically, right? "

Hearing the uneasiness in Zhou Xianyu's voice, Xiao Jinxuan was worried about this, but now that the conversation has come to this point.

There was no turning back when the bow was opened, and Xiao Jinxuan immediately closed her eyes and nodded, as if she had accepted Zhou Xianyu's speculation by default.

And it was almost her side who admitted it, because Xiao Jinxuan who closed her eyes tightly because she didn't know how to face Zhou Xianyu.

She immediately felt that Zhou Xianyu was holding her hand tightly just now, but suddenly let it go silently.
