Concubine's true colors

Chapter 519
Thinking back to when Xiao Jinxuan was still in Prince Rui's Mansion, Su Qin, who was Zhou Xianrui's concubine, saw that she was quite capable, and she was in the same situation as Xue's family.

Su Qin, who also had a blood feud against the Prime Minister's Mansion, couldn't help but plan to attach himself to Xiao Jinxuan.

He even told Xiao Jinxuan everything about his father's strange injustice during the Four Kings' Rebellion.

He also explained that the original intention of the four kings was to go to Beijing to escort him, but it was the Xue family who made the four kings mistakenly think that the Xiao family army was in rebellion, so they sent troops into Changping.

Both sides suffered heavy losses in the battle, but as Prime Minister Xue who had secretly reported the rebellion of the Four Kings to Emperor Ming, he took advantage of this to suppress the Xiao family, and in one fell swoop secured the irreplaceable position of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the Great Zhou court.

And after knowing about this, Xiao Jinxuan informed Zhou Xianrui, but that would be because the court was in a rebellion situation.

At that time, it was extremely difficult to stabilize the court situation. Neither Zhou Xianrui nor Xiao Jinxuan, who had a private guard, had time to find the evidence that Su Qin's father had hidden.

But the situation is different now, Zhou Xianrui has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and the harem of the previous dynasty has also settled down from the rebellion.

Now I have enough energy to find the evidence about the chaos of the Four Kings back then. As long as this ancient injustice can be cleared, then the old Prime Minister Xue who was the instigator must make atonement for it, and the rest of the Xue family will inevitably end up. A full-fledged fate.

Such a behemoth that has controlled the court for decades will eventually crash to the ground, and there is no chance of escaping disaster.

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan bring up the evidence of the Four Kings, Zhou Xianrui couldn't help sighing, and said rather helplessly:
"After the entire family of the Su family was beheaded, the old site was occupied by the Huaguo Mansion when it was expanded. So many years have passed, and the old Su family house has also been demolished and refurbished by the Duke Mansion many times. I want to hide the evidence that was hidden back then. Finding out is by no means an easy task, and in my opinion, it may take some time."

Back then, the Bai family not only went to prison for participating in the treason case, but even their residence was sealed up.

Even Princess Cheng'an, the elder sister of Emperor Ming, ignored the other party's protest and forcibly moved her to the new Princess Mansion.

Regarding this matter, when others discussed it, they said that Zhou Xianrui wanted to collect the inexhaustible gold, silver and jewels of the Bai family into the national treasury, so he forcibly expelled the elder from the Duke's mansion regardless of his aunt's feelings.

In fact, Zhou Xianrui's real reason for doing this was to secretly find out the evidence of the Four Kings' Rebellion in the Duke's Mansion without letting the Prime Minister's Mansion hear any troubles.

Therefore, rumors are the most unreliable, and they are limited to wise men. There is indeed a reason for this statement.

However, Xiao Jinxuan, who heard that the matter of finding evidence for the Four Kings hadn't made any progress after several months, which would make Xue Yuyan feel more urgent because of Xue Yuyan's fetus, subconsciously suggested:

"Nowadays, Empress Xue's movements in the palace are frequent, and the matter of the baby change is just our guess for the time being, so let's not mention it. But Ye Ying sent more than a hundred musicians and dancers to Fengxiang Palace on the grounds of performing dances, and according to Su Qi According to the results of the night investigation, the majority of these people are warriors. However, it is impossible for me to search the residence of the Empress Dowager Donggong before the other party has changed. Therefore, the evidence of the Four Kings that can completely convict the Xue family has changed. It is extremely important. If it is really necessary, it is better to ask Su Qin to go out of the palace and rush to Huaguo Duke's mansion. After all, Su Qin has lived in the part of the Su mansion that was enclosed in the expansion of the Bai family. Harvesting is also very possible."

Xiao Jinxuan's suggestion is indeed good. After all, when it comes to understanding the former site of the Su Mansion, no one knows better than Su Qin.

But Zhou Xianrui, who has always been extremely accepting of Xiao Jinxuan's proposals, now has a trace of hesitation on his face.

Then he hesitated to say something, but in the end he still showed a bit of embarrassment and didn't say a word.

But seeing Zhou Xianrui's appearance, Xiao Jinxuan suddenly realized that she patted her forehead, and said with an apologetic wry smile:

"Look at my memory is getting worse day by day. Why did I forget that Concubine Su is also two months pregnant. The first three months of pregnancy are the most likely to have unstable fetal gas, so Su Qin It is true that it is not suitable to go out of the palace now, and raising the fetus is the most important thing. I was indeed in a hurry and confused for a while, but I forgot about this matter, it really shouldn't be said. "

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan's expression of self-blame and wry smile, Zhou Xianrui suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt rising in his heart.

After all, Su Qin will be pregnant with this child, others may not know the reason, but Zhou Xianrui knows that it is all due to the similarity between the other party and Xiao Jinxuan.

A few months ago, when he was dealing with government affairs in the imperial study and stayed up late at night, Su Qin came over with sweet pastries.

Zhou Xianrui, who also felt sleepy and a little hungry, called the other party in without thinking too much.

But on that day, Su Qin was not only wearing a purple dress and a skirt, but also had a bun that Xiao Jinxuan loved so much.

In addition, the other party deliberately imitated Xiao Jinxuan with every frown and smile, and Zhou Xianrui, who was buried in the pain of lovesickness that could never be relieved, burned to ashes.

Even though he has always been calm and determined, but that night he still mistook Su Qin for Xiao Jinxuan's substitute again. After going to Wushan all night, he was pregnant with the other party's three-month pregnancy.

In fact, even if Zhou Xianrui had the same heart as Ming Jing, Xiao Jinxuan and his seventh younger brother must already be husband and wife.

He also told himself more than once that it was time to take back his love for Xiao Jinxuan, and this was the best choice for each other.

However, Zhou Xianrui understands all these principles, but he, who has always been a man of courage and will not be procrastinating, is the only one who can't be cruel when facing Xiao Jinxuan, let alone get rid of the other party from his heart.

In fact, Zhou Xianrui was persuaded by the ministers to make Xue Yuyan the queen in the previous dynasty. In fact, as long as he immediately made Shen Wenqing the queen, the matter would be completely resolved.

But Zhou Xianrui knew this truth but didn't do it. The most fundamental reason was that he didn't want to establish any woman in the harem who could suppress Xiao Jinxuan in terms of status.

After all, once the status of Queen Shen Wenqing is established, Xiao Jinxuan has no reason to monopolize the power of the harem.

But Zhou Xianrui wanted to send the best, what he could give to the other party, to Xiao Jinxuan without reservation.

Since the other party doesn't need his unwavering affection, the powerful harem is the best thing he can give Xiao Jinxuan in Zhou Xianrui's opinion.

So in Zhou Xianrui's heart, he felt that no woman was as important as Xiao Jinxuan, and he would see that the other party couldn't stop apologizing to him because of Su Qin.

Immediately, Zhou Xianrui, who felt even more guilty in his heart, couldn't help but waved his hand immediately and said:

"Jinxuan, you don't need to blame yourself. In fact, Concubine Su's health has always been good. Even if she goes out of the palace to go to the Duke's Mansion, there will be no accidents. The evidence of the four kings is related to the court, so I also think it is quite necessary to ask Concubine Su to come. I will arrange this matter tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about it, Jinxuan."

Seeing that Zhou Xianrui had made up his mind, Xiao Jinxuan naturally stopped talking.

But since Su Qin was mentioned, she couldn't help but hesitated for a while, and immediately said with a chuckle:
"Speaking of today's harem, there are actually quite a lot of happy events. At the same time, two concubines are pregnant. Your Majesty can be said to have spread branches and leaves for the royal family. Moreover, if Concubine Su's child is a prince, it will be even more meaningful. It's different. Although Jinxuan knows that she shouldn't say anything more, she still wants to suggest that His Majesty must have both rain and dew. After all, Sister Shen is a concubine, and if concubines are pregnant before her, it will be good for the stability of the harem. It is definitely not a good thing to go to Sheji. After all, having a son will create a desire for the throne, and the lack of an heir in the main palace will make the concubine feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. Perhaps His Majesty should really spend more time with Sister Shen."

The woman who was always cherished in her heart opened her mouth and pushed him towards another woman.

Even though Zhou Xianrui knew that Xiao Jinxuan's words were not malicious, his heart was still bitter beyond words.

In fact, it's not that she doesn't care about Shen Wenqing and Zhou Xianrui, but for some reason, they have been married to each other for so many years, but the other party is not pregnant with a child.

But in fact, there was no need for Xiao Jinxuan to remind, Zhou Xianrui didn't want to make Shen Wenqing pregnant, so he couldn't help standing up immediately.

Looking at Xiao Jinxuan's sleepy appearance, Zhou Xianrui listened to the other party's suggestion and prepared to go to see Shen Wenqing, at the same time, he said with concern:
"Jinxuan, if you are tired, go to sleep. I will stay in the harem today, and I will send someone to pay attention to Fengxiang Hall. You also need to take care of your own body. After all, Yan Luolei was eaten by me, and your memory The most taboo thing about the symptoms of decline is working hard and staying up late. If you make a mistake, the seventh brother will definitely not feel at ease outside the palace, so for my little brother, you have to remember to take good care of yourself."

Because Zhou Xianrui knew that from his standpoint, he didn't even have the right to take care of Xiao Jinxuan too much.

Therefore, he was full of worries and worries, but he had to say these caring words from Zhou Xianyu's perspective. Although this feeling made Zhou Xianrui himself extremely uncomfortable.

But as long as he thinks that he still has the opportunity to personally care and take care of Xiao Jinxuan, Zhou Xianrui feels that his heart is suffering, and it is worthwhile to express his feelings even though it is difficult.

As for Zhou Xianrui's words of concern, even if the other party did use Zhou Xianyu as an excuse in the end.

But Xiao Jinxuan, who has a delicate mind, can't hear the undisguised sincerity mixed in Zhou Xianrui's words.

But Xiao Jinxuan, who was only moved but never moved, could only sigh lightly with guilt.

She had poured all her devotion into Zhou Xianyu long ago, and indeed there was no room in her heart for Zhou Xianrui's love next time.

So knowing that the other party is affectionate, Xiao Jinxuan only responded with a polite smile.

After personally sending Zhou Xianrui out of the bedroom, Xiao Jinxuan stood at the door of the hall without moving.

Instead, he looked at the other party's figure that gradually disappeared under the umbrella on a rainy night and looked extremely lonely, and shook his head helplessly.

In fact, sometimes Xiao Jinxuan would also ask herself, if the person who entered her heart first was not Zhou Xianyu, but the current Qi Emperor Zhou Xianrui, what kind of situation it would be like, perhaps no one can predict get.

But the matter of relationship really needs to pay attention to fate, even if the love given to her by the king is indeed deep and persistent, but God told her and Zhou Xianyu to come together, maybe this is the fate of the three of them.

Just like when we first met in Yangzhou, when she was reborn and locked in a wooden cage, the person who chose to save her was Zhou Xianyu, and what Zhou Xianrui gave her was just a back view of turning around and leaving.

Sometimes Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help feeling that perhaps it was doomed from that moment, that she and Zhou Xianyu would be bound together for life.

But between Zhou Xianrui and Zhou Xianrui, they can only become confidants, or even strangers between turns.
