Concubine's true colors

Chapter 764 The Bad News Comes

Zhou Xianchen wanted to go to the execution ground wholeheartedly, but he was really afraid that the Empress Dowager Chen would make an order to save people without authorization, so that he could stop it in time, so that the law of the country would not be a joke.

And after listening to his words, I feel more and more that Zhou Xianchen's thin body is even more majestic and majestic Ning Xiaodie, while admiration flashed in his eyes, he tilted his head and said mysteriously:

"Your Majesty, that dog official Chen is heinous, and Xiaodie doesn't want to see him have a chance to be rescued. Anyway, we go out in plain clothes, and others will not recognize you. Even if the princess refuses to agree, if you really want to go out, Xiaodie knows that there is someone The method works, but you have a noble status, so I don't know if His Majesty will agree to it."

At the age of 17, Zhou Xianchen is not afraid of anything, and dares to do whatever he says.

Therefore, when he heard that Ning Xiaodie had a plan, and tried hard to be a wise king and lord, Zhou Xianchen, who would not let any corrupt officials go, immediately asked urgently:
"What's the best way, Xiaodie, don't be a fool. In fact, I also think that Seventh Sister-in-law is too cautious. I will not be recognized by ordinary people's clothes. What's more, at the feet of the dignified emperor, there are still people on the execution ground. There are countless government officials and soldiers, no one dares to make trouble there. If it is really possible to sneak out of the palace, I am willing to try any method."

Hearing Zhou Xianchen's words, thinking of Ning Xiaodie, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, that the execution ground was heavily guarded, the last worry in her heart was gone, and she immediately said with a smile:
"Your Majesty has been a prince since he was a child. He must always go through the right door wherever he goes. But Xiaodie is different. I am very playful on weekdays. If my brother disagrees, I will quietly go out over the wall. In fact, this Regent Palace, don't Look at the high walls in the front yard and the back house. But the back door where the servants usually walk around, although there are guards, but the walls are much lower. In the past half a month, I have come out of the palace to play many times, you Go back and change into plain clothes, let's go to the execution ground now."

When Ning Xiaodie said these words, her tone was quite self-satisfied. After all, she was able to climb over the wall to come and go freely in the Prince Regent's Mansion, which is indeed a remarkable thing.

But in fact, if Ruoning Xiaodie knew that she had secretly reported these small actions to Xiao Jinxuan to the guards in various places in the palace, she would probably not be complacent.

The reason why Ning Xiaodie was able to come and go freely was also because Xiao Jinxuan knew that this girl was from the common people, and she was really not used to living in the mansion for a long time.

So since she wanted to go out to play, Xiao Jinxuan simply let the other party toss and turn, secretly told the guards to ignore her, and acquiesced in accommodating the other party's behavior.

Otherwise, in the huge Prince Regent's Mansion, Zhou Xianyu was originally a general, and he had always been cautious and strict in running the army. How could he allow others to come in and out over the wall without anyone noticing.

If the guards were really so lax, Ji Lingfeng's killer would have sneaked in countless waves and assassinated Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu.

It's just a coincidence that because of Zhou Yi's disappearance, Xiao Jinxuan's mind was disturbed, and she knew that her feelings for this child were unusual.

So Zhou Xianyu dispatched most of the guards from the palace last night, went to Shisong Town in person, and searched for Zhou Yi's whereabouts, as well as clues.

So now in the palace, the hidden guards are indeed gone, and only the bright guards are left.

Therefore, by mistake, Zhou Xianchen, who was traveling in plain clothes, managed to climb out of the wall door, and quickly rushed towards the execution ground with Ning Xiaodie.

But what he didn't know was that the secret guards of the Prince Regent's Mansion were transferred away, but they had been lingering outside the mansion, and Ji Lingfeng's eyesight continued unabated.

Therefore, Zhou Xianchen's so-called micro-service private visit was completely exposed in front of those eyeliners almost the moment he turned over the wall, and there was nothing to hide.

As for Zhou Xianchen's state of being in a dangerous situation without knowing it, he also did not receive any notice, and thought that the other party was safe and sound in Xiao Jinxuan who was staying in the mansion.

Now that she was exhausted, no matter how hard she was to support herself, she bent down on the desk and fell into a deep sleep.

After about half a stick of incense passed, Xiao Jinxuan suddenly felt a heavy weight on her shoulders, and her subconscious reaction, which was extremely alert, was to open her eyes suddenly.

When she noticed that the person standing beside her was Zhou Xianyu, who was covering her body with a soft blanket.

Xiao Jinxuan didn't feel sleepy at all, instead she immediately stood up and asked eagerly:

"How about Xianyu, you went there in person this time, but you found Yi'er in Shisong Town. Even if the child really suffered a misfortune, some bones should be left behind so that I can bury him. After all, it was me Not good, you failed to take good care of this child under Chi Ling's entrustment."

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan's face full of self-blame, and tears in his eyes, Zhou Xianyu was so distressed that he immediately hugged her into his arms, and said comfortingly:
"Okay, Xuan'er, that child Zhou Yi, when you were hunted down and escaped from the palace, you didn't abandon him even in such a dangerous situation. You have already done your best to protect this child, so don't blame yourself so much. You left him in Shisong It is also for the sake of Zhou Yi. And it is a good thing that there is no news of this child, let alone his bones. At least this can also show that Zhou Yi is more likely to be alive. Don't worry, Jinxuan, although I'm back now, but this king also ordered Niu Jing to bring the soldiers of the Beijing military camp to continue the search. If you want to see people, you need to see dead bodies, no matter what, I will help you find a result."

Now that her identities were confessed, Xiao Jinxuan, who didn't need to fight everything alone, heard Zhou Xianyu's words, and she couldn't help nodding with a smile.

This feeling of snuggling in each other's arms, with this man holding up half the sky for her in everything, really made Xiao Jinxuan feel at ease and at ease.

Thinking of looking for Zhou Yi, it is not something to be anxious and useful, seeing Zhou Xianyu also stayed up all night.

Xiao Jinxuan was just about to help the other party take off her coat, so that Zhou Xianyu could also take a good rest, but she didn't want to hear a sudden loud knock on the door from outside the room.

After Xiao Jinxuan allowed people from outside to come in, Bai Chu led an eunuch from the palace in.

And the servant eunuch, the moment he saw Zhou Xianyu, immediately cried aloud, even knelt down and said:
"My lord, something happened in the palace, you should go and preside over the overall situation. The Yanqing palace was flooded, and the empress dowager was trapped inside. Princess Xiangping rushed in to save people, but the fire was too strong and she was forced out again. Slave When I left the palace to report to you, the fire over there hadn't been extinguished yet, and I don't know what the situation is now, so follow me into the palace."

Don't look at Zhou Xianyu's dissatisfaction with Queen Mother Chen, who listened to the government behind the curtain and controlled the imperial power.

It was also because of the despicable actions of the Empress Dowager Chen who deliberately targeted Xiao Jinxuan back then, which led to an incompatible relationship between the two of them.

But Zhou Xianyu has a character of emphasizing love and righteousness, and he has not forgotten the kindness that the other party has given him to nurture him for more than ten years.

Therefore, when he heard that Yanqing Palace was in trouble, Zhou Xianyu's first reaction was to enter the palace and save the Empress Dowager Chen, regardless of the antagonism.

However, his move to move forward was grabbed by Xiao Jinxuan, and then the other party immediately ordered to Baichu:
"This father-in-law, please wait outside the attic first. The prince has just returned from the Beijing military camp. Since there is Princess Xiangping in the palace, she must be able to stabilize the overall situation. The prince occasionally feels cold and has to take medicine to go to the palace. Otherwise, there will be a mistake on the road, and no one can afford this responsibility."

After randomly pulling out a reason, Bai Chu immediately pulled the astonished eunuch out forcibly under the signal of Xiao Jinxuan's frowning.

When there was no one else in the room, Zhou Xianyu didn't stop him just now, but said with a troubled expression:
"Jinxuan, the conflict and enmity between you and Empress Chen is clearer than others for her husband. But after all, she is my mother who has been called my mother for more than 20 years. Thinking of the kindness of her upbringing in the past, I don't care about Yanqing Palace. I have to take a look at it. So you don't want to stop this matter, and listen to what the eunuch said, I'm afraid the queen mother is in danger this time."

Hearing Zhou Xianyu's embarrassing words, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help laughing bitterly, knowing that the other party might have misunderstood her.

"Xianyu, I, Xiao Jinxuan, am I not that kind of person who has no guts. The flooding of Yanqing Palace is an emergency, so there is nothing wrong with you visiting and helping each other. Even though the grievances between me and Queen Mother Chen are indeed not shallow, I will not make trouble unreasonably. You and the other party cut off the relationship between mother and child, and let you be an unfilial and unrighteous person."

Having said that, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes flashed with confusion, then she held Zhou Xianyu's hand, frowned very cautiously and said:
"I stopped you just now, it's not that I don't want to ask you to go, but after careful consideration, you must not go this time to the imperial palace. After all, you and I can hear that the fire in Yanqing Palace is very serious, and Empress Dowager Chen is in the bedroom If you can't be rescued, it will be hard to say whether you will be alive or dead. And the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, no one knows that the person who is fighting with the other political party is you, Zhou Xianyu. Yanqing Palace is inexplicably on fire, Xiangping It happened to be there. I always feel that this matter is not that simple. And I am even more afraid that once you go, the matter of the empress dowager Chen's distress this time will be related to you. Therefore, I will do the matter of entering the palace. And you just stay in the palace and don’t move around on the grounds that you are sick and it is difficult to stay.”

To be able to think through the pros and cons of this in such a short period of time, Xiao Jinxuan's thoughtfulness is indeed quite rare.

And the eunuch who came to report the letter was indeed sent by Xiangping to report Zhou Xianyu's entry into the palace at a good time according to Ji Lingfeng's teaching.

Ji Lingfeng's plan was to blame Zhou Xianyu for the flood in Yanqing Palace today, and if the other party came to the scene in person, it would be easier to frame him.

But now Xiao Jinxuan's cautiousness made it difficult for Ji Lingfeng's tricks to be used.

As for Zhou Xianyu, although he was very anxious, he also always trusted Xiao Jinxuan.

Zhou Xianyu had nothing to worry about when the other party entered the palace for him, and he also felt that what Xiao Jinxuan thought was indeed reasonable, so he had to guard against it.

So when the door finally opened, the person who walked out became Xiao Jinxuan. Although the eunuch was stunned, she didn't dare to show it.

So soon, Xiao Jinxuan called Ziying who had returned, and led her out of the palace to the palace.
