Concubine's true colors

Chapter 577 Wen Qing Visits
Three days later, Zhou Xianrui finally went back to court under recuperation. At least on the surface, apart from his poor complexion, his mental state was still good.

As for the real condition of his body, only a few people such as Imperial Doctor Ma and Queen Mother Chen knew about it.

But after all, now Zhou Xianrui has stabilized the restless former court, and as for the harem with floating hearts, it has gradually returned to normal.

As for Xiao Jinxuan in Zhaoyang Palace, since the news of Zhou Xianrui's illness came out.

In fact, she immediately rushed to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, fearing that the other party's heart and lung injuries would relapse, and she wanted to see what she could do to help.

Although the current Xiao Jinxuan's attitude towards Zhou Xianrui is indeed disheartened, and she doesn't even want to have too much contact with him.

But after all, her master Ding Yizhen entrusted Zhou Xianrui's illness to her before Li Gong went to find her the medicine Zizhumi, so if the other party really had a heart and lung disease.

Xiao Jinxuan felt that she was making medicine for Zhou Xianrui every day, so she should take a look at it both emotionally and rationally.

But her kindness, during the few days when Zhou Xianrui was in a coma.

Xiao Jinxuan went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation three times, but was turned away by Empress Chen three times, and she was not allowed to enter the bedroom.

Under such circumstances, Xiao Jinxuan naturally wouldn't be making fun of her, but also to avoid suspicion.

So apart from continuing to deliver the decoction that Zhou Xianrui needed to take to the imperial court without missing a day, Zhaoyang Palace basically didn't even take a step forward.

And today, in the coldest morning in late autumn, Xiao Jinxuan, who had never been lethargic, was still as usual, holding a volume of miscellaneous journals as usual, leaning against the window and watching with a peaceful face.

But not long after, the silence in Xiao Jinxuan's bedroom was interrupted by a slight knock on the door.

Then I saw Wen Xin just said a word outside, and then pushed the door of the palace open.

When Xiao Jinxuan turned her head to look at it, she saw Wenxin coming in respectfully welcoming Shen Wenqing.

Because Xiao Jinxuan and Shen Wenqing have never had a fight since they met each other.

Now the two of them live in the harem, and they get closer and closer on weekdays.

So when the two of them went to each other's palace, they never needed to notify in advance.

All those formalities and formalities were omitted, and it was no different from entering one's own bedroom.

Seeing that it was Shen Wenqing who came, Xiao Jinxuan immediately asked Wenxin to go down to arrange tea and snacks, and then hurriedly got up to greet her.

"My sister is in charge of all affairs in the harem now, why do you have time to come to Jinxuan's place today. But if there is any difficult matter, tell my sister about it, so that I can help sister Shen think of a way to deal with it."

Shen Wenqing has a benevolent and dignified personality, which also caused her to be famous far and wide when she took care of the affairs of the harem alone, but her deterrent power was not enough.

From the concubines to the servants in the palace, none of them are easy to use.

So Shen Wenqing would always encounter some difficult and difficult things to deal with, and at this time she would come to Xiao Jinxuan for advice.

But this time, after listening to Xiao Jinxuan's inquiry, Shen Wenqing shook her head immediately, and said with a trace of caution on her face:

"Sister, you don't need to worry about me. This time, my sister is not here to bother you about the affairs of the harem. In fact, I am sending you a message for His Majesty."

Upon hearing Shen Wenqing's words, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but smile wryly after being stunned for a while.

Because she suddenly discovered that the current relationship between her and Zhou Xianrui could not even talk face to face.

The other party actually asked Shen Wenqing to pass the message in the middle. This kind of change of deepening estrangement really made her sigh and sigh for a while.

But Xiao Jinxuan soon felt relieved about this, anyway, thinking that she and Zhou Xianrui had always been in an alliance.

Although the friendship between each other was really good before, but since the other party insists on keeping a distance from her now, she is happy to be alone.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan, who would only show her true feelings in front of Zhou Xianyu.

Even though she thought Zhou Xianrui's practice of asking Shen Wenqing to pass the message on her behalf was ridiculous, she still asked with the usual gentle expression:
"Sister Shen, sit down quickly. As for what His Majesty wants you to say to me, but you can't say anything, in my bedroom, no news will leak out."

Shen Wenqing, who was seated with Xiao Jinxuan, smiled and said immediately after hearing this:

"What do you say here, my sister is naturally not at ease. In fact, your majesty wants me to tell you that Yang is now imprisoned in the prison. The emperor said that if you want to take your brother to see him for the last time, you should hurry up Good. After all, if you stay with the other party for one more day, it will only be more troublesome to deal with the rumors about your life experience."

The fact that Shen Wenqing said these words actually meant that Zhou Xianrui had told her the truth that Xiao Jinxuan was not from the blood of the commander-in-chief.

But regarding the fact that Xiao Jinxuan is from Beirong, it has a lot to do with it.

So even though Shen Wenqing asked if the rumors were true, Zhou Xianrui didn't tell her anything.

Therefore, after Shen Wenqing conveyed Zhou Xianrui's words, she couldn't help but hesitate for a while, but she still asked the doubts in her heart:
"Jinxuan is actually the gossip about you inside and outside the palace. My sister must know it too. There is no one else here today. Although my sister knows that it is inappropriate to ask. But can you tell me, those who say that you are the royal family of Beirong Are the rumors about descendants true?"

In fact, Xiao Jinxuan seldom leaves Zhaoyang Palace now, except for the reason that the relationship between her, Zhou Xianrui, and even Queen Mother Chen is becoming increasingly tense.

Another reason is that the rumors about her life experience outside have been spread too much, and they are driven to intensify.

Although Xiao Jinxuan was also very puzzled, how did her identity as a descendant of Beirong spread out.

But in the face of these, she knew that she couldn't explain it, otherwise it would only attract more attacks and doubts.

Therefore, the solution she chose was to respond to all changes with the same, retreat to the Zhaoyang Palace, wait and see the changes, and consider the countermeasures.

After all, now that Xiao Jinxuan is staying in the palace, it seems that compared with when she was in the commander's mansion, her status and status are competing day by day.

But from another perspective, she was trapped in the imperial city.

After all, it is difficult for hermit guards to come in by her side now, and only Wen Xin and a few able-bodied people are standing by her side.

If this point is compared with Xiao Jinxuan's time in the commander's mansion, her strength will be weakened instead.

Therefore, in the face of Shen Wenqing's inquiry, Xiao Jinxuan, who has never defended herself on this issue since the rumors began to spread.

This meeting couldn't help but smile slightly, and then said without answering rhetorical questions:
"Sister Shen, Jinxuan also wants to know, is it really so important that I am from Beirong? In fact, others don't know, but you should know it best. I, Xiao Jinxuan, never planned to live in the harem for a long time. Now I will leave one to support myself In addition, it is also because I promised my master not to pass on the prescription, so I can only keep it every day and cook the medicine for His Majesty myself. I have never felt any harm to the royal family or the entire Great Zhou. Even Jinxuan dared to She boasted that the stability of the current government is not due to me. As for my sister's doubts, Jinxuan thinks that my words can be regarded as an answer to your question, does Sister Shen think it is right?"

Although Shen Wenqing is indeed unable to compare with Xiao Jinxuan in terms of power.

But this is only because she is not good at it, but it does not mean that she is a stupid person.

On the contrary, Shen Wenqing has read a lot of poetry and books, and can afford the words Bingxue smart, so although Xiao Jinxuan didn't answer bluntly.

But after hearing what the other party said, Shen Wenqing understood everything in her heart.

Although secretly startled that the rumors about the descendants of Xiao Jinxuan's royal family turned out to be true, but after she stabilized her mind, she immediately said worriedly:

"Jinxuan, my sister understands what you said, and thank you for your trust in me, Shen Wenqing, and for being willing to tell me these things. But sister, please listen to my sister's advice, if you can leave this harem, then hurry up and leave with Xianyu. After all, I have been husband and wife with the emperor for many years. Although we have always respected each other as guests, my sister still understands your majesty. He used to care about you so much, but what he does now makes me feel that while he is wary of you, he may not necessarily I won’t do it in secret.”

Having said that, Shen Wenqing couldn't help stepping forward and took Xiao Jinxuan's hand, then lowered her voice a little and said:

"Jinxuan, Your Majesty, he is no longer the former Prince Rui. Since he did not spread the word because of the scandal in the harem, he even wanted to completely wipe out the Xue family. Your Majesty, he can even kill Brother Qi, a baby who doesn't know anything. Brutal killing. My sister predicted that although His Majesty has been in a coma for several days, it is time for you to know your Beirong background. So listen to my sister's words and leave quickly. I really don't want to see that one day you will be announced like Brother Qi The Imperial Study Room then completely disappeared, so you must listen to me on this matter."

Shen Wenqing loved Zhou Xianrui deeply with all her heart, and was even more impressed by his uprightness and concern for the country and the people.

But since Zhou Xianrui ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Shen Wenqing couldn't agree with the other party's suspicion and cruelty for the sake of the overall situation.

Even after what happened to Brother Qi, she felt a deep sense of disappointment and powerlessness in her heart.

But now in Shen Wenqing's eyes, she doesn't care whether Xiao Jinxuan is a descendant of the enemy's royal family.

All she saw was how hard this little sister was, and the side that had no prying eyes on the rights in the palace.

Therefore, Shen Wenqing, who was already kind, really didn't want to see Xiao Jinxuan, a good sister, being murdered by Zhou Xianrui after Brother Qi.

Therefore, what she said just now was not a test, but every sentence was from the bottom of her heart.

As for Xiao Jinxuan, after listening to this, seeing Shen Wenqing's worried face, if she was not moved at all, that would be impossible.

Today's Xiao Jinxuan is guarded by Zhou Xianrui, and she also has to bear the disgust from Queen Mother Chen, as well as Xiangping's face and heart.

Even if she didn't say it on the surface, everything was as usual, but in fact, how could she not feel scarred in her heart.

Therefore, Shen Wenqing's words were really like a pot of coals in the severe cold of the twelfth lunar month, which warmed Xiao Jinxuan's increasingly frozen heart.

Then I saw Xiao Jinxuan holding Shen Wenqing with her backhand, and after returning to a light smile, she nodded and said:

"Sister Shen, don't worry, Jinxuan has remembered your words. Perhaps it is indeed time for my younger sister to leave. Although this imperial city is big, it seems that there is no place for me, Xiao Jinxuan. Until this time, I will accompany Brother Yao In the end, I went to Tianlong to meet Mrs. Yang, and helped my younger brother fulfill his wish. At that time, Xianyu and I will discuss the matter of leaving Dazhou, so my sister should not worry about me anymore."
