Concubine's true colors

Chapter 746 Enlightenment and Consolation

A bloody massacre in Bieyuan on the outskirts of Beijing took the lives of countless people, and blood soaked the ground and stained countless people red.

But as night fell, after the bursts of thunder in the sky, the pouring rain finally washed away the storm completely, leaving nothing behind.

And this time in Ya Cui's house, Xiao Jinxuan was sitting by the window, letting the open window let the cold wind, mixed with the occasional rain, drip on her body.

Although Xiao Jinxuan was outside the other garden today, because she left early, she did not witness the scene of Xiangping killing innocent children.

But she was very thoughtful, and even though she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she had already thought that among those innocent women and children, it was bound to be difficult for any of them to survive.

Stretching out her hand out of the window, she saw that the rain had quickly wetted her hand, and drops of rain even slid down her jade wrist to her arm.

But even if the rootless water falling from the sky is pure and flawless.

But Xiao Jinxuan suddenly felt inexplicably that even though the rain was so clear, it couldn't wash away the countless scarlet blood stained on her hands.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help frowning Liu Yejian's eyebrows together, and even stretched out her hands out of the window.

Then she took advantage of the rain to rub her hands together repeatedly.

Even though her wrist was already flushed from rubbing, she still didn't stop moving as if she couldn't feel any pain.

At this moment, Xiao Jinxuan seemed to be dazed. In her eyes, what dripped on her hands was not rainwater, but blood dripping down.

And because her expression was too focused on her two hands, she didn't even hear the knock on the door.

Until Zhou Xianyu, who came to see her, pushed the door open and walked in because of faint worry.

Xiao Jinxuan was still unaware of it, and kept rubbing her hands.

Zhou Xianyu entered the palace today and tried his best to fight against all difficulties, even at the court, he quickly mobilized his hands. After a lot of twists and turns, he brought back the jade seal and dragon seal to Zhou Xianchen safely and without hindrance.

After dealing with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty for several hours, Zhou Xianyu felt a splitting headache.

Although he was very tired, when he learned that Xiao Jinxuan hadn't eaten since she came back from the mansion today, and no one was allowed to enter Yacuiju.

Zhou Xianyu was worried, so he quickly asked the kitchen to make some dishes that the other party liked to eat on weekdays, and then brought them over in person in the rain.

As a result, as soon as he entered the room, Xiao Jinxuan's obviously abnormal expression, as well as his constant rubbing of his hands, made Zhou Xianyu very worried.

Quickly took Xiao Jinxuan's soft cloud shawl from the screen in the room and took it into her hand.

Then Zhou Xianyu helped the other party put on warm clothes, and reproached him softly with distress:
"How old are you, and you're not a child anymore, why don't you know how to cherish your body. It's cold outside when it rains, so how can you catch the wind and cold with the window open. Changde stretches out his hand quickly , What's the matter with you, your hands are already red and swollen, stop rubbing them."

Being hugged lovingly by Zhou Xianyu, listening to the other party's coaxing words.

Because of the incident in Bieyuan during the day, Xiao Jinxuan, who was really emotional, put her hands in front of Zhou Xianyu the moment her tears fell.

"My lord, do you know how many people's blood is stained on my hands? There are my enemies and people who want to harm me, but there are also countless innocent people who have been implicated. Maybe many people are not me. I killed them with my own hands, but they did die because of me. Even though my hands looked white, but just now, I saw countless blood dripping from my hands, and that feeling made me suffocate , even panic."

In front of her beloved, Xiao Jinxuan let go of all her pretense, and showed her most helpless and frail side.

Seeing the helplessness in Xiao Jinxuan's eyes, although Zhou Xianyu did not reveal the identity of the other party, he naturally knew better than anyone else the hardships and hardships that this beloved woman has experienced all the way from Yangzhou.

It has to be said that Zhou Xianyu knew a long time ago that Xiao Jinxuan was ruthless and poisonous.

All the enemies of the other party, his Xuan'er has never been lenient, and all of them will be eradicated without leaving any hidden dangers.

Just like what Xiao Jinxuan said, she personally executed, and there are indeed countless people who died indirectly because of her.

Moreover, Zhou Xianyu never thought that he would fall in love with a woman with such a resolute and ruthless personality, even a bit more tyrannical than a man's murderous spirit.

Thinking about it now, Zhou Xianyu felt that maybe Xiao Jinxuan was so ruthless, but he still didn't disgust him, and even shunned him.

It is because he knows better than others that under Xiao Jinxuan's coldness, there is actually an extremely soft and kind heart.

Often times, the opponent's shot is nothing more than a counterattack under pressure, and a helpless self-protection.

Therefore, the more tenacious and indifferent Xiao Jinxuan showed, Zhou Xianyu couldn't stop wanting to take pity on and protect her.

And this would see Xiao Jinxuan's face full of disgust, and she didn't even want to look at her hands, Zhou Xianyu shook his head with a wry smile, and even grabbed the other's bare hands.

Then Zhou Xianyu lowered his head and kissed Xiao Jinxuan's hands lightly.

Then he even put the opponent's fingers between his teeth and gently pecked and nibbled, and said tenderly and tolerantly:
"Concubine Ai is used to you being swift and resolute, but now you suddenly become soft and helpless, it really makes me feel uncomfortable. But Changde, listen carefully, no matter if you are a vicious woman, or cold-hearted. Now that you have become Zhou Xianyu's concubine and my woman, no matter what you look like, you are the best in my eyes. What happened to make you feel so uncomfortable? It just so happened that I didn't even have a meal when I got back home, so let's chat while eating. When you tell all the things that are suppressed in your heart, you won't be so depressed when you think about it."

When people are alone sometimes, it is inevitable that they will think wildly.

But now that Zhou Xianyu is by her side, Xiao Jinxuan's uneasy mood has gradually eased a lot. She has been busy since leaving the house early in the morning, and she has nothing but a cup of hot tea in Huai'an Hou's mansion. eaten.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan, who also felt a little hungry, couldn't help having dinner with Zhou Xianyu.

After drinking two sips of hot soup and feeling warm all over, Xiao Jinxuan talked about the day's events.

"Actually, the prince doesn't have to worry. Maybe it's rainy night that makes people sad. Now I'm fine. After all, it was still during the day, and the innocent women and children in Ji Lingfeng's other garden all died of accidents. I feel that I am also indirect." It’s just the person who killed them. And there is also Princess Xiangping. Just now our people came to report that the other party was furious in the other garden, and then fell to the ground, resulting in premature delivery. Although a boy was born, but because of the trauma to the mother’s body Seriously, the baby boy was delivered as a stillbirth. As for Xiangping, although he saved his life, the imperial doctor said that it might be difficult to conceive in this life."

Xiangping was born prematurely suddenly, the entire commander's mansion was in chaos, Su Qi went out in person, naturally any information could be obtained in detail.

After all, Su Qi was someone who had even broken into the Forbidden Palace alone, and was able to escape unscathed. Naturally, a mere commander-in-chief's mansion would not trouble him.

As for Zhou Xianyu, after hearing these words, he knew why Xiao Jinxuan was so depressed.

"Changde, do you think that those women and children in Bieyuan and the stillborn babies born by the eighth sister are all caused by you, right? But why don't you change your mind? Maybe some people's deaths are indeed innocent. But the sacrifice A small group of people can make the court stable as soon as possible, completely eradicate the Queen Mother's party, and support Xianchen's pro-government. Only then can the people who are in dire straits in the Great Zhou recuperate and not be disturbed by the court. Compared with the entire Great Zhou, Jiangshan , A few innocent lives are nothing at all."

It wasn't that Zhou Xianyu was cold-blooded and ruthless, maybe he was really not good at ruling the country in court debates.

However, Zhou Xianyu is a general who leads troops in battle, and often goes deep alone knowing that he is dead, but for the overall victory, he has to make this kind of sacrifice.

Therefore, the way to choose and choose is to start with the overall situation. Zhou Xianyu has a thorough understanding of these, so he can talk freely and comfort Xiao Jinxuan.

After listening to what he said, although Xiao Jinxuan still felt a lot of pressure from self-blame, at least her emotions eased a little.

Just looking at Xiao Jinxuan's forced smile, Zhou Xianyu still felt sorry for him, so after thinking about it, he couldn't help but suggest:

"Xiangping's premature birth hurt her body, and Ji Lingfeng was also hurt this time. Now they are probably going to fight each other. I will do my best to suppress Queen Chen from the imperial court and political parties, so don't think about anything in Changde these two days. Take a good rest. After you come to Dazhou, you don’t have time to walk around. Why don’t I suggest a good place for you. There is a Town God’s Temple on Tuerling in the outskirts of Beijing. Exuberant. Why don't you go to offer incense tomorrow to relax your mind, maybe you will feel much better."

Because Xiao Jinxuan never revealed her identity, Zhou Xianyu didn't dare to take the initiative to break it, because she was afraid that the other party's knot would be difficult to untie, and she would quietly leave him again.

But Zhou Xianyu knew that Meng Liangjun in the Town God's Temple was Xiao Jinxuan's best friend and old friend.

So he deliberately asked the other party to relax, in order to create an opportunity for their sisters to meet, and this time's intentions are indeed rare and considerate.

As for Zhou Xianyu's suggestion, she also felt that her heart was too depressed. Xiao Jinxuan, who was bound by hatred for a long time and was a little hard to support, felt that she really should ease her mood.

"Too many people died innocently because of the separation between Ji Lingfeng and Xiangping today. Tomorrow I will go to the Temple of the City God to offer incense for them in front of the Emperor City God. Stay in the courtyard for two days, and the prince will have to deal with it alone in the capital, but if there is an emergency, you must remember to send someone to find me."

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was just going to live in Tuerling for a few days, she worriedly asked a lot of words.

Not only did Zhou Xianyu not feel that the other party was nagging, but he was warmed by this kind of concern repeatedly, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously twitched.
