Chapter 396: Head-to-Head (1)
Seeing Xiao Jinxuan's calm and gentle face, Zhou Xianrui couldn't help but nod his head with a chuckle.
Therefore, his own plan, the other party did point out the key points in a few words.
Asking Shen Mu and the others to kneel on the ground to admonish them is indeed a trick of Xue Hou.
In order to use everyone's momentum, Empress Xue had to be released, so that Zhou Xianrui could enter the palace to face the saint.
knew that Zhou Xianrui had always been steady and far-sighted, but Xiao Jinxuan immediately frowned, and cautiously raised another question:
"Your Royal Highness, even if we can enter the palace, these two **** have personally gone to the Yongchang Palace. I asked my two brothers-in-law about the situation when they visited the emperor that time. And Gu and he said that they stayed in the palace, and the emperor only woke up for four hours in three days. If we enter the palace today, but the emperor has been unconscious, I am afraid that this trip will be in vain. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Xianrui immediately signaled Xiao Jinxuan not to worry, and then explained:
"Jinxuan, before you boarded this carriage, did you notice that the smaller carriage that followed behind was actually sitting in a doctor with good medical skills. I then went to Gansu for disaster relief, where the people often ate Guanyin soil to satisfy their hunger because of snow and hunger, and refugees who died because of bloating and difficult to excrete. ”
In fact, the Guanyin soil mentioned by Zhou Xianrui is a kind of soil that can be used to satisfy hunger.
During the famine, people often ate this soil because they could not bear the hunger, and used the satiety it produced to survive the famine.
It is true that a small amount of Guanyin soil will not be fatal, but if you eat too much, it will be difficult to excrete it, and finally lead to abdominal distension until you suffocate people to death.
As if thinking of the disaster in Gansu, Zhou Xianrui sighed heavily, and then continued:
"By chance, when the king was in disaster relief, a seventy-year-old man suddenly came to the door and gave the king a prescription, saying that it could cure those victims who had eaten too much Guanyin soil and could only wait for death in the end. And wait until this king has the mentality of giving it a try and asks people to start preparing. Sure enough, as long as you drink a pair of medicines, the situation is cured in serious cases, and it is really miraculous. ”
Hearing Zhou Xianrui's words, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but guess and said:
"Could it be that Your Highness, what you mean is that the one who is sitting behind our carriage now is the doctor who gave you the prescription in Gansu."
As soon as he heard Xiao Jinxuan's words, Zhou Xianrui nodded and immediately said:
"Yes, it is this person, and later I heard in Gansu that this old man provided free medical treatment for the victims, so this king tried to give him as much herbs as possible. Therefore, after the fourth brother Zhou Xianrun sent me a book with a flying pigeon, saying that his father was sick and had been unconscious. I thought of this old doctor and brought him with me. ”
This has always been a talented person, and they all like to live in seclusion among the people, so seeing that Zhou Xianrui has found a doctor with superb medical skills, Xiao Jinxuan can't help but feel a lot more relieved.
After half a pillar of incense, the carriage of King Rui's Mansion stopped at the east gate of the imperial city.
Even if Xiao Jinxuan hadn't gotten out of the car yet, the calls of the ministers who asked to meet the emperor and ask the prince to come forward to supervise the country came to her ears one after another.
And after being helped out of the carriage by Xin, Xiao Jinxuan saw that there were thirty ministers kneeling here.
And sure enough, Empress Xue had already been alarmed and came to the East Dragon Gate, and was sitting on the phoenix, whirling around with the ministers.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but sigh slightly, looking at the Manchu Dynasty, it was also due to Zhou Xianrui's timely return.
Now the respected King Yongchang is trapped, and the crown prince has been secretly poisoned.
Except for Zhou Xianrui, the virtuous king of the Great Zhou, I am afraid that there is no one in the capital who can call on so many princes and ministers to compete with the Xue clan of the Xiangfu.
And it was almost Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianrui who got out of the carriage and were able to deal with Shen Mu and the others, and Xue Hou, who was extremely calm, immediately sat up straight with his body reclining on the pillow.
Looking at Xiao Jinxuan, who had not been killed several times, Empress Xue's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of resentment.
felt that the other party was simply ghostly, and as the grudge between each other became deeper and deeper, Empress Xue had an intuition that Xiao Jinxuan's return this time would inevitably become the biggest variable.
And this will also see Xiao Jinxuan, the queen of Xue, the hands hidden in the cuffs of the splendid lotus, which have long been clenched together.
Thinking of Zhou Xianyu's death and the pursuit of the family temple, all of them were inseparable from Empress Xue.
Xiao Jinxuan couldn't even control the hatred she was feeling, and her body trembled slightly.
Just when Xiao Jinxuan could no longer suppress her hatred, she had already reached out to shake the carefree hairpin between her hair, and was ready to find an opportunity to directly take Empress Xue's life.
Anyway, now that there are all the people she cares about, and she herself is not from the Shuai Mansion, there is nothing in Da Zhou that Xiao Jinxuan is worthy of nostalgia.
If one life for one life can kill Empress Xue, Xiao Jinxuan is in a state of some emotion, and she really feels that this method is very feasible.
But at this moment, suddenly her hand was grabbed by Zhou Xianrui on the side, and the other party lowered his voice and admonished:
"Jinxuan, it was not only Empress Xue who killed Xianyu, but the entire Xue family. Don't do anything stupid impulsively, if you want to completely avenge the seventh brother, you must live well. ”
was pulled forward by Zhou Xianrui, and Xiao Jinxuan also knew that she was really on the verge of being angry just now.
After taking a few deep breaths, Xiao Jinxuan was already cold, so in an instant, her demeanor returned to normal, making it difficult for people to distinguish what her true thoughts were from her face.
And as soon as they came closer, Empress Xue, who had already stepped down from the phoenix, looked at Xiao Jinxuan and the two of them who greeted her like a great enemy, and then asked dignifiedly:
"King Rui and the county lord of Zhaoyang, please get up, I don't know why the two of you are here today. Especially the county lord of Zhaoyang, didn't the queen order you to guard the royal king's funeral. Therefore, it is not suitable for you to move around at will now, so it is better to hurry back to the Shuai Mansion and go to the Imperial Poetry. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan, who had just finished bowing and getting up, couldn't help but smile gently, and then said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant:
The queen mother laughed, the news of the king's death came, and Jinxuan couldn't bear it for a while, so she was distraught and claimed to be the other party's surviving wife. But now, after my heart has calmed down. Jinxuan clearly realized that although I had a marriage with the king, it was true. But he didn't marry me Xiao Jinxuan as a concubine, so now that he has left, I can naturally marry another one. Therefore, if the queen really feels sorry for the king, she can find a monk to exceed, but Jinxuan will not do it again in the future. ”
Xiao Jinxuan's words can almost be said to be ruthless, and her cold-hearted words were just finished.
In addition to Zhou Xianrui, whether it was Empress Xue who was standing opposite, or the princes and ministers kneeling on the ground, they all looked at Xiao Jinxuan with extremely surprised eyes.
After all, Zhou Xianyu was injured by an assassin in the jade shop for Xiao Jinxuan.
Then, in order to save Xiao Jinxuan's life, Rabbit Ridge did not hesitate to fall off the cliff together, and almost took his life again.
Zhou Xianyu's infatuation, now inside and outside the Beijing Division, is a flat-headed little common man, who can talk about a few things with relish.
But now it's good, the other party has only been dead for less than three months, and Xiao Jinxuan, who originally looked loyal, immediately stopped thinking about the old love and began to plan for her future.
And when everyone thought more and more like this in their hearts, when they looked at Xiao Jinxuan's eyes, they were full of ridicule and contempt.
Feeling the change in everyone's expressions looking at Xiao Jinxuan, a trace of worry flashed in Zhou Xianrui's eyes.
Then he immediately stepped forward and protected Xiao Jinxuan safely behind him.
Because he was relatively close to Xiao Jinxuan, Zhou Xianrui could clearly feel that when the other party said those cold words, his voice was actually trembling slightly.
I didn't want all the pressure to be borne by Xiao Jinxuan alone, so Zhou Xianrui glanced at everyone fearlessly, and finally looked directly at Xue Hou, word by word, and said in a solemn voice:
"What Jinxuan said is right, since there is no big marriage, the identity of the surviving wife cannot be counted. And now the reason why this king and the lord of Zhaoyang appear here is to enter the palace and ask his father for the grace of marriage. And I, Zhou Xianrui, want to marry Xiao Jinxuan as a side concubine, so I also asked the queen mother to get out of the way, and my son will enter the palace immediately. ”
First of all, Xiao Jinxuan didn't miss the old relationship, and directly wanted to clear up the relationship with Zhou Xianyu.
How did everyone hear that King Rui, who has always had a deep brotherhood with the king, actually wanted to marry his younger brother's former princess.
Immediately, everyone couldn't help but think of the four words of red face and disaster in their hearts, but it was just because of Zhou Xianrui, there was really no one who dared to look at Xiao Jinxuan with strange eyes.
And Xue Hou, who also didn't expect that Zhou Xianrui and the two would come together, was caught off guard, and hurriedly said without having time to think about it:
"Xianrui, you are too presumptuous, now your father is seriously ill, but you are still thinking about marrying a side concubine. To such an unfilial son as you, let you enter the palace to meet the saint, will your father be angry with you for a long time. Therefore, this matter can be told to you later, the marriage between the two of you is impossible, so leave quickly. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan, who had nothing to let go, immediately sneered and said without giving in:
"The queen's mother said this is wrong, I and His Royal Highness recently got married, this is a happy thing for the royal family. The Holy One said that he should not be swept away by this happy event, and his illness would be cured. And although Niangniang, as the mother of the princes, does have the right to decide the marriage of the princes. But I, Xiao Jinxuan, am the righteous daughter of King Yongchang after the Shuai Mansion. My marriage with His Royal Highness King Rui, except for the emperor, I am afraid that Niangniang really has no right to raise any objections. ”
Zhou Xianrui is quite prestigious in the court, and Xiao Jinxuan's identity background is extremely special.
Under the joint efforts of these two people, Empress Xue was really suppressed and retreated, and he didn't even know what reason he could stop these two people from the palace walls.
