Concubine's true colors

Chapter 601
Although Guo Yi was surprised by Xiao Jinxuan's sudden appearance, she soon returned to greet her with a natural expression.

On the other hand, Meng Mian, he did not expect that Xiao Jinxuan, whom they just mentioned, would be in the Guo Mansion the next moment.

Meng Mian is by no means a dull person, he is just not good at maneuvering, so after thinking about it carefully, he immediately figured out everything.

"It's no wonder that my aunt talked to me about Mr. Guo many times, and she always compared him to a think tank. Meng Mian was ashamed that he didn't expect that the seemingly ordinary cloth porridge outside your house was actually sent by Mrs. Guo to meet my aunt. Although you and I It is very likely that she will be monitored by Empress Chen in the dark, but it is indeed not so noticeable if Madam Ling is a girl."

Xiao Jinxuan, who had already been welcomed into the hall and sat down at the top seat, immediately said with a chuckle:
"Prime Minister Meng just follow Guo Yi and call me Princess. I have nothing to do with Da Zhou, so don't mention the word empress again."

While speaking, Xiao Jinxuan called Zhou Yi, who was led by Dani, to her side, and then handed a piece of pastry to the child.

Seeing little Zhou Yi gobble it up, Xiao Jinxuan knew that the child had really suffered for the past two days.

His brows furrowed, he couldn't bear the other party's young age to continue to suffer with her.

And in order to protect the child of Chi Ling, let him grow up carefree, so except for a few people, like Meng Mian and Guo Yi, they all thought that little Zhou Yi was Zhou Xianrui's concubine.

Therefore, I saw that Meng Mian used the etiquette of meeting the prince face to face. After bowing first, he immediately said indignantly:
"The empress dowager Chen is really too much. It is clear that the first emperor had another prince. Although the child's status is not high, he is the son recognized by the first emperor after all. But the empress dowager just ignored this child and supported the king of Chen to proclaim himself emperor. This is simply What's the difference between messing up the court's discipline and usurping the throne."

Hearing these words, Xiao Jinxuan was about to explain Zhou Yi's life experience and various reasons why this child is not of royal blood.

But after thinking about it, Zhou Yi, who has always regarded Zhou Xianrui as his father, will inevitably suffer trauma to his young heart.

And now that Zhou Xianchen has ascended the throne, there is no need to repeat the old story about little Zhou Yi's life experience.

So Xiao Jinxuan stopped talking when she reached the tip of her mouth, then changed the subject and said with a smile:
"Yi'er has been raised by my side since he was a child. This child is naughty and young, and he is indeed not suitable to inherit the great line. Moreover, King Chen is refined, respectful and filial. He will be a benevolent Lord in the future. So I just want to take Yi'er and leave the capital. , don’t let him get involved in the imperial power and become a victim.”

Upon hearing Xiao Jinxuan's words, Guo Yi hardly hesitated, and immediately said:

"Now that King Chen has ascended the throne, everything is a foregone conclusion. But once the Prince Yu returns, the situation in the dynasty will definitely change. But now, Princess, you are charged with poisoning the king. There is no place for you in this capital or even in the entire Zhou Dynasty." Therefore, Guo Yi dared to ask, there were rumors in the market before that you were born in the royal family of Beirong, so I don’t know if the princess will go to Beirong to take refuge temporarily.”

As soon as Zhou Xianyu was mentioned, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes flashed with tenderness, but then she couldn't help but said worriedly:

"If I stayed in the capital, the first thing Xianyu came back would be to clear my grievances. But now that Empress Chen is in power, the new emperor ascends the throne and the court situation is in turmoil, and the two adults may not know, Xiangping The masked waiter who followed me every day was Ji Lingfeng, the first counselor of the Prince of Thailand. So it’s not that I didn’t think of staying and waiting for Xianyu to come back, but doing so would make Xianyu fall into a passive position. Therefore, I really intend to return to the north Rong, and those rumors are true."

Guo Yihui has always called Xiao Jinxuan the princess, one reason is because he knows that the other party and Zhou Xianrui have never been married.

Another reason is because of the series of oppression Xiao Jinxuan received when he passed through the harem.

He has already guessed that the rumors are true, and the other party is the princess of the royal family of Beirong, so he will continue to call him that.

As for Meng Mian, who has never been swayed by gossip, he has always regarded those words as nothing but words that seriously hurt Xiao Jinxuan.

But after hearing that the other party admitted it frankly, he couldn't help but looked at Xiao Jinxuan in astonishment for a while.

It is impossible to imagine that this former concubine's daughter would have such an unusual background and noble lineage.

Although Xiao Jinxuan's status changed, whether it was Guo Yi, who was already aware of it, or Meng Mian, who was unexpected, they still chose to help each other at this time after giving each other a new courtesy.

After all, regardless of the hostility between the two countries, Xiao Jinxuan has a feeling of supporting and helping each other and saving each other for these two important ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, when Xiao Jinxuan talked about the situation in the palace, and that Chen Houshi was a chess piece, and Ji Lingfeng was the real person behind the arrangements, etc., he said everything.

Guo Yi and Meng Mian also explained the deaths of Zhou Xianrui and Shen Wenqing, which Xiao Jinxuan didn't fully understand, to her.

After the two parties settled the matter in this way, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but take it out of her arms. Tears fell from the amnesty decree that Zhou Xianrui sent back then.

She was crying because Xiao Jinxuan did not expect that Shen Wenqing exchanged her own life for this imperial decree.

And she didn't expect that Zhou Xianrui, a dedicated generation of Holy Master.

In the end, she died so bleakly. After all, it was an old friend, and she would inevitably feel unbearably sad in her heart.

Although Zhou Xianrui had indeed secluded her, and even ordered her to die.

But Xiao Jinxuan knew that the other party's starting point for all this was for the court and the country, and there was no personal grievance in it.

So although Xiao Jinxuan was annoyed that Zhou Xianrui didn't believe her, she never hated him at all.

Therefore, after calming down this feeling of nostalgia and sadness, the hatred for Xiangping and Empress Chen added a lot of Xiao Jinxuan again, and she immediately said:

"Now I can't stay in Dazhou anymore, so I am going to return to Beirong, find my identity, and then use the military power between countries to assist Xianyu to get rid of Chen's mother and daughter. Then Xianchen can take charge of the government, There is no need to be a puppet emperor. But to achieve this step, the two adults need to help me do something."

Guo Yi and Meng Mian were also worried about the fact that Empress Chen was involved in the previous dynasty, but as the empress dowager, it was difficult for them to stumble each other.

Therefore, if Xiao Jinxuan returned to Beirong and joined hands with Zhou Xianyu inside and outside, they could indeed suppress those forces that supported Queen Chen, then they would be happy to see it succeed.

After all, now that Xiangping is going to marry the Shuaifu, the older generation of the Xiao family has died, and Xiao Yiming, the new head of the family, has already sided with Mrs. Chen's mother and daughter because of this in-law relationship.

Coupled with the news that Xiao Jinxuan poisoned Zhou Xianrui was released a few days ago, Empress Dowager Chen appeased the commander's mansion and did not convict the Xiao family.

Xiao Yiming was even more grateful for this move, so Empress Chen, who gradually had the support of the commander-in-chief, not only stretched her hand forward, but also controlled nearly half of Dazhou's army with the Xiao family in her hands.

So in this case, even if Zhou Xianyu returns to Beijing, he may not be fully sure of winning by using force.

Therefore, if you can get the support of Bei Rong, or borrow its powerful cavalry army, then this will undoubtedly be a big reliance on bringing down Empress Chen.

In politics, there are no countries that are permanently hostile.

Therefore, out of trust in Xiao Jinxuan, Guo Yi and Meng Mian couldn't help but see hope for the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

So without any hesitation, the two of them immediately asked what they wanted to help.

And when Xiao Jinxuan hid in the city for the past few days, she had already thought about the countermeasures, so seeing her, she immediately said:

"Empress Chen has great ambitions, but she lacks strategies. Therefore, the relationship between her and Xiangping is separated, and Ji Lingfeng cannot easily influence Chen's decision. It is not difficult to get out of the city."

Speaking of this, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help looking at Guo Yi, and then continued with a gentle smile:

"If you want this estrangement plan to be successful, you need to have Lao Guoyi's sharp mouth. At that time, you only need to make Empress Chen feel that besides Xiangping, you ministers are actually willing to share each other's worries. And see clearly the current situation. Be loyal to the other party, and even help him arrest me. As long as you can persuade Empress Chen to think that I, Xiao Jinxuan, may have escaped from the capital. And you will get the exact news, and you will go out of the city to capture me yourself. At that time, Guo Yi, you If you can leave Beijing in a logical manner, it will not be difficult to take me out of the city."

After saying this, Xiao Jinxuan looked at Meng Mian again, then her eyes flashed, and she said in a voice full of calculations:
"Everyone in Dazhou knows that Prime Minister Meng is upright and upright, and you were the first to stand up against Empress Chen when she came to power. So if you want Guo Yi to gain the trust of Empress Chen, you have to stand up when you leave the Guo Mansion. In front of the mansion, reprimand the other party. The harder you scold, the more likely Guo Yi will be trusted if it reaches Empress Chen's ears. And if you two believe me, in the court hall, Only by defending each other on such an open face can we avoid being persecuted. After all, only by bearing the burden of humiliation for a while can we have a chance to survive until the day when we stumble the traitor. Now that the court situation is in turmoil, you loyal and patriotic courtiers are sacrificing , Great Zhou is really about to decline."

Now that Xiao Jinxuan has escaped from the palace, she is charged with the crime of killing the king. If she wants to make a comeback, it is no longer possible for anyone in Da Zhou to help and support her.

So go back to Beirong, find the identity that should belong to her, and then rely on the mother country to help.

Only then did she have the opportunity to deal with Xiangping and others again, and personally avenge Wenxin, Shen Wenqing and others.

Even if this road is bound to be full of hardships, it is not certain whether it will be successful, but this is Xiao Jinxuan's only chance now.

After all, she still has a hidden danger of poison in her body, she has no time to waste, let alone drag Zhou Xianyu, in order to avenge her, she personally attacked Chen Hou and others.

Otherwise, regardless of justice and axioms, now that Zhou Xianchen has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, if Zhou Xianyu sends troops, he will inevitably become a traitor.

Regardless of the outcome, the infamy of future generations will never be lost. Xiao Jinxuan will personally avenge Xiao Jinxuan's revenge, and she never wants to ruin Zhou Xianyu's reputation because of this.

And after Xiao Jinxuan discussed with Guo Yi and Meng Mian for a long time, the two of them settled down to their respective duties and started to act.

As for Xiao Jinxuan, although Guo's mansion cannot be avoided and may be searched by Ji Lingfeng's people, at least it is safe now.

So being careful, she hadn't had a good rest for three days, and finally got a rare chance to breathe after taking a bath and changing clothes.

So when it was about to get dark, Xiao Jinxuan was in the secret room Dani had arranged for her.

It was rare to completely relax the tense emotions, and fell into a deep sleep.
