Concubine's true colors

Chapter 639
Seeing that this woman named Lin Qingsui knelt on the ground while she was speaking, begging the prime minister.

Although Zhou Xianyu, who had always been quite resistant to women, was not bored with this woman who spoke and acted very similar to Xiao Jinxuan, but he never had the idea of ​​keeping her by his side because of this.

Especially after Xiao Jinxuan died, no matter how beautiful women there are in the world.

Zhou Xianyu had sworn in front of Xiao Jinxuan's jade tablet when the Clothes Tomb was built that not only would he never marry a concubine or take concubines in this life, he would never be in love with any woman.

Although Qingsui could just want to be a slave, Zhou Xianyu would definitely not ask a woman to follow him every day.

Otherwise, he would always feel sorry for Xiao Jinxuan in his heart, and would have no face to see Xiao Jinxuan after death.

Therefore, although they felt that they had rescued Qingsui twice, they were indeed destined to meet each other.

But regarding Xiao Jinxuan's affairs, Zhou Xianyu would never be negligent.

So Qingsui's experience is quite sympathetic, but Zhou Xianyu still let the other party kneel on the ground, and refused without a trace of loose tone:
"Miss Qingsui, forgive me for not being able to agree to your request. You have seen the tomb not far away. My dead wife is buried there. My beloved wife died. From now on, no woman will appear by my side. This is to comfort her spirit in heaven. But since I have saved you twice, I will definitely not let you die on your own. I will give you a hundred taels of silver, enough for you to buy a house and land, and live a good life. So you Get up quickly, no matter how much you beg, I will not leave you behind."

Hearing that Zhou Xianyu's words showed no signs of loosening, Qingsui, who was kneeling on the ground with her head bowed, a hint of anxiety flashed vaguely in her eyes.

But when she raised her head and looked at Zhou Xianyu, there was only deep gratitude and gratitude in her eyes.

"Engong's deep affection and kindness towards his deceased wife really moved Qingsui. Since you have sworn an oath in front of the deceased wife's tombstone, I naturally can't make things difficult for Engong. Qingsui just wants to repay the favor. Since Fubo can't If I stay by your side, I will definitely not accept the money. So Qingsui bids farewell to benefactor, I hope you will take good care of yourself and live a safe life."

After saying goodbye, Qingsui also stood up from the ground, but at the same time she bent her knees with a smile and bowed to Zhou Xianyu Yingying.

She suddenly stroked her forehead with her left hand, and her eyebrows were also tightly knit together.

Before Zhou Xianyu could ask her what happened, this Lin Qingsui closed her eyes first, and fell to the ground in a coma.

A woman who was so weak and whose speech and behavior were very similar to Xiao Jinxuan was about to fall to the ground in front of Zhou Xianyu.

Out of emotion and reason, even simply out of an instinctive reaction that he couldn't see death without saving him, Zhou Xianyu couldn't help but took a step forward, and took Qingsui into his arms, protecting him safely.

Although Zhou Xianyu was marching and fighting, he also learned some superficial pharmacological medical skills from military doctors, in order to be able to heal his injuries by himself in case of emergency.

But when he signaled Qingsui's pulse and pinched him for the opponent, he failed to wake him up.

Zhou Xianyu couldn't help heaving a long sigh, he couldn't just throw a fainted woman in the mountains to feed the wolves.

In the end, he had no choice but to pick up the other party, put him on the horse's back, and immediately rushed to Yangzhou City, planning to find a doctor to treat Qingsui.

Because Zhou Xianyu didn't want to wrong Xiao Jinxuan's affairs, he must erect a monument and build a tomb for her according to the specifications of the princess, so naturally he had to borrow the power of the local government to do it.

Therefore, when he came to Yangzhou this time, Zhou Xianyu did not hide his identity, but directly lived in the official residence.

And because he had the dragon finger in his hand, he directly mobilized the entire Yangzhou officials to plan the clothes tomb for Xiao Jinxuan.

Therefore, in just half a month, the construction of the tomb can be completed.

And now Zhou Xianyu also brought Qingsui directly back to the mansion, and called a doctor to diagnose and treat him, while he stood aside quietly waiting for the result.

After all, in Zhou Xianyu's heart, he already believed Qingsui's impostor, and regarded him as the woman he saved in the wooden cage that year.

Therefore, there are such reasons in it, and this Qingsui is somewhat similar to Xiao Jinxuan.

So Zhou Xianyu still hoped that the other party would be fine and nothing happened, and subconsciously stood aside.

But at this moment, Huang Jianhui, governor of Yangzhou, walked in.

At that time, Song Peng, the former governor of the government, was sent to the capital by Zhou Xianrui. Later, due to snowfall and disaster relief, Qian Yingluo died of the two major crimes of dereliction of duty in the cell, and was dismissed from office and had his head chopped off.

And this Mr. Huang was the official who later succeeded Song Peng as the new governor of Yangzhou.

After seeing him come in, he respectfully greeted Zhou Xianyu, and then handed over a bright yellow letter with both hands.

"His Royal Highness, this is an urgent official letter sent by the capital yesterday evening. The official knows that the prince is going to the tomb of the princess, so he decides to suppress this letter privately, and does not want to disturb the prince to accompany the princess. Weibo The minister made the decision without authorization, and I ask the prince to forgive me."

This Huang Jianhui obviously knows how to be an official, and he is very good at catering to other people's preferences, so he seems to be pleading guilty, but in fact he is showing favor to Zhou Xianyu.

In the past, Zhou Xianyu didn't bother to participate in the formation of cliques in the officialdom, let alone make false claims with the officials.

But since Zhou Xianrui's death, Xiao Jinxuan fell off the cliff, and Zhou Xianchen, the younger brother, was cowardly suppressed by Queen Chen's party.

Faced with these ensuing situations, Zhou Xianyu really couldn't be free and easy, because many things, such as helping Zhou Sheji and avenging Xiao Jinxuan, were all on his shoulders.

So even if he is tired of the intrigue in the officialdom, Zhou Xianyu can't avoid it now.

Otherwise, he, the prince, would just leave him alone. Wouldn't it be that Empress Chen would be even more powerful? It would be the people of the Great Zhou that would suffer, and it would be the hundreds of years of his Zhou family's foundation that would be destroyed.

Therefore, in the past, Zhou Xianyu would not deal with officials much at all, and Zhou Xianyu, who only did things according to his preferences, now responded with a satisfied chuckle from Huangfu Yin, and said with praise:

"Master Huang, why do you need to ask for punishment yourself? You take such good care of the king's mood and don't disturb the remembrance of old times with my late wife. It's too late for me to thank you for this. How can you blame the lord? This Yangzhou is far away from the capital. It's not easy for you to be local officials. Even if I leave Yangzhou in the future, Mr. Huang must be close to me. But if you have anything to do, you can write to me directly. If I can help you in the capital, you will definitely not be able to help me. Will decline."

Huang Jianhui could hear Zhou Xianyu's obvious win-win words.

And being able to rely on a prince who holds a heavy army is definitely something he is most happy about, so his smile at this meeting is even more ecstatic.

"I have written down the words of the prince. Besides, as long as I work in Yangzhou, I will order someone to clean up the tomb of the imperial concubine, so don't worry, your highness."

If you want to compete with the queen mother of a country, especially when the other party has gradually mastered the elite Xiao family army.

Zhou Xianyu knew the strength of his [-] Beijing barracks.There is no certainty of victory.

Moreover, sending troops without authorization will only cause the Great Zhou to waste money and people, and when the country is in turmoil, it will be swallowed up by neighboring countries.

Therefore, to overthrow Empress Chen's gradually growing party members, even if Zhou Xianyu hated official factions, he had to recruit officials to form his own faction, so that he could fight against it.

Therefore, Zhou Xianyu and Huang Jianhui exchanged a few words of acquaintance and politeness, and then opened the letter in his hand.

But when he finished reading the content, the expression on his face became gloomy again.

The [-]-mile rush sent from the capital actually only said one thing.

That is the birthday of Empress Dong of Liang Guo, and the envoy sent by the monarch of Liang Guo sent an invitation card.

Considering that Zhou Xianyu's biological mother was the Princess of Liang, Zhou Xianyu was granted permission to go to Liang to reunite with his mother's family and have a banquet as a show of respect and as a royal grace.

As for the birthday gift that Da Zhou prepared to send to Liangguo Road, Zhou Xianyu was told to leave for Daliang immediately after receiving this letter, so that he would not have to turn back to the capital.

Although this letter from the beginning to the end is the will of Zhou Xianchen, the king of a country, and the bottom of the letter is also stamped with the dragon seal and jade seal.

But Zhou Xianyu sneered in his heart, how could he not see that this was simply an excuse for Empress Chen not wanting him to return to Beijing and sending him away.

The entire royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty was unknown to others. Zhou Xianyu didn't believe that Empress Chen, the adoptive mother whom he had respected since childhood, would not know about it.

What he hated most in this world, and what he couldn't forgive, were the relatives of Daliang's so-called mother's family.

If they hadn't married his biological mother to Dazhou for political needs, how could the other party be in a dilemma when the two countries went to war and finally jumped off the imperial city to die.

Knowing that when he returns to Daliang, it will inevitably bring back sad memories.

However, in order to stabilize her position in the capital and monopolize the imperial power, Empress Chen actually disregarded the relationship between mother and child for many years, wishing to force him to a dead end.

Zhou Xianyu, who had given up on Empress Chen for a long time, would still feel uncomfortable if it was changed before.

But now, in his eyes, Empress Dowager Chen is simply another malignant tumor in Dazhou after Xue Yi who stirs up trouble and disturbs the country.

They are not mother and son, but enemies until death!
And at this moment, the doctor who treated Lin Qingsui also revived him, and then the invited doctor said respectfully:
"Reporting to Prince Yu, this girl has regained consciousness without any problems. It's just that her pulse is thready and chaotic, obviously because she was frightened and sad, and she fell into a coma for a while. Wait for the old man to go down and prescribe two prescriptions for calming the nerves. After taking it, she will be fine."

Hearing that Qingsui's problem was not serious, Zhou Xianyu felt at ease, and signaled for the doctor and Huangfu Yin to go down.

He handed the package that he had just prepared to Qingsui who had already sat up from the couch.

"Since Miss Qingsui is in good health, after the doctor finishes prescribing the medicine, you can take the medicine, the 200 taels I prepared for you, and food on the way, and leave Yangzhou to live elsewhere. Save money After being caught by your stepmother, when you are in danger for the third time, this king may not be able to save you."

As soon as the comatose person woke up, he immediately drove them away. Zhou Xianyu's behavior could no longer be described as ignorant of pity and pity. It was simply an expression of eagerness to draw a line with Lin Qingsui.

Although when the other party fainted, Zhou Xianyu couldn't do nothing to save him.

But his patience and carefulness were all exhausted by Xiao Jinxuan, and it was difficult for him to hold other women in his eyes, let alone take care of Lin Qingsui's feelings.

At least in Zhou Xianyu's opinion, although Xiao Jinxuan is dead, she still lives in his heart.

If he gets along with this Lin Qingsui for too long, even if he has no other thoughts in his heart, Zhou Xianyu is afraid that Xiao Jinxuan will misunderstand under Jiuquan, so he will not be happy.

Although his cautious approach for the sake of the dead may be as fun as a joke in the eyes of others.

But Zhou Xianyu was so obsessed with thinking that although Xiao Jinxuan was dead, she must be watching him from the bottom of the world, so he didn't want to cause the other party a little sadness.

Besides, Lin Qingsui, who was on the bed at this moment, looked at the package handed to her, but she didn't reach out to pick it up.

Instead, he raised his head and looked at Zhou Xianyu, and then two lines of tears fell silently.
