Chapter 572: Last Chance

Xiao Jinxuan's unique calmness was indeed what Zhou Xianrui admired the other party the most in the past.

After all, this kind of temperament that never panicked before the collapse of Mount Tai was something that Zhou Xianrui had never seen in other women.

But now Xiao Jinxuan, the most attractive place for Zhou Xianrui, now makes the other party feel extremely eyesore.

In fact, what Zhou Xianrui wants to see now is Xiao Jinxuan's explanation and attitude of praying for understanding.

But Xiao Jinxuan didn't explain, and she didn't beg for mercy, so she admitted it calmly.

For a while, Zhou Xianrui couldn't help but feel like he didn't know where to start, and he stood up with an unbearable slap on the royal case.

"Jinxuan, since you have already guessed the reason why I am looking for you, then you should also know that the Yang family has recruited everything. Now that the Queen Mother has been persuaded by me, you are not the Xiao family's blood and blood, and no one will know about it for the time being. But I just want to know, you and I are married, why you didn't want to tell me about these things in the first place. Otherwise, why bother with Yang's confession today, have you never believed in me in your heart? ”

Originally, Xiao Jinxuan expected that the people who could bring the Yang family into the palace and detain them for another three days were only Empress Dowager Chen who had the ability to do so.

And now that I heard that Yang's confession was indeed done by Empress Chen, and afterwards I made trouble in front of the emperor and asked Zhou Xianrui to know.

For a while, Xiao Jinxuan's mind couldn't help but recall that before Emperor Ming died, when Empress Chen was still a good concubine, it was like a scene of love for her younger generations.

Immediately, Xiao Jinxuan's heart couldn't help but feel a sourness, and somehow at this moment, the emotion of the abolished Empress Dowager Xue Yi before her death popped up in her mind.

And she will have to admit that what the other party said is indeed reasonable, and this change of status and identity can indeed make a person unrecognizable and completely lose his heart.

In the past, no matter how excessive Chen Hou did, Xiao Jinxuan was too angry, but because the other party was an adoptive mother who was very kind to Zhou Xianyu, she thought of the other party's goodness, and she really didn't hate it.

But now that the love between each other in the past, when Empress Chen secretly interrogated the Yang family and wanted to kill her, Xiao Jinxuan's heart would have a strong hatred for the first time.

even smiled bitterly in her heart, if she could be ruthless and get rid of Empress Chen as soon as possible, then there would be no such life turmoil today.

Because of Empress Dowager Chen's hard work, Xiao Jinxuan's heart finally became cold again, and she would not treat the other party as an elder as respectful.

As for facing Zhou Xianrui's questioning, Xiao Jinxuan, who now feels more and more detached from the other party, and has little in common, couldn't help but say with a cold expression:

"In fact, what is Jinxuan's identity, is it really so important to Your Majesty? If I am not a marshal housemate, but just a lowly country woman, then in the eyes of Your Majesty, I am not worthy of assisting you to ascend the throne and become emperor. Or maybe you shouldn't stay in this harem and continue to decoct medicine for your master to regulate your body. I didn't tell Your Majesty at the beginning, because I didn't want to cause too much turmoil and misunderstanding. After all, with all due respect, emperors have been suspicious since ancient times, and I have already seen this when you were still King Rui. ”

Xiao Jinxuan said this, ignoring the complicated expression on Zhou Xianrui's face, but after a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, she continued:

"So Your Majesty, you blame me, you should have told the truth earlier, so that you can better help me hide my secrets and help me. But with all due respect, that's just your assumption right now. I'm afraid that when I really explained my life experience, I could only get His Majesty's suspicion and untrustworthiness. At that time, the Xue family intended to rebel, the life and death of the first emperor were unknown, if we were separated from each other, I am afraid that the person sitting on the dragon chair today would not be you Zhou Xianrui. And this is the reason why I, Xiao Jinxuan, can't tell each other frankly in order to stabilize the overall situation, I don't know if Your Majesty will feel satisfied after hearing it. ”

Xiao Jinxuan defeated the Xue family, a fierce rival, no matter how she was targeted in the harem, and even when she was relieved of power, she never showed her strong and domineering side.

It's just because Xiao Jinxuan has always felt that whether it is the inner courtyard of the palace or even the entire Great Zhou, she will eventually leave one day.

Before this, since her grudges were all over, Xiao Jinxuan really didn't want to get involved in new disputes with Empress Chen, Xiangping, and even Zhou Xianrui and others.

Because she did feel tired, and she didn't want to fight against these old things.

But she was first targeted by Chen Hou, and now facing Zhou Xianrui's questioning, Xiao Jinxuan really felt extremely disappointed in her heart.

I feel that the dedication and assistance in the past are simply meaningless, these people's hearts can't be warmed at all, and she is the one who is wary of outsiders after all.

And Zhou Xianrui, who was stunned by Xiao Jinxuan's attitude of questioning, waited until he reacted.

He has been on the throne for more than half a year, and he has long forgotten when he was so rudely contradicted.

Therefore, although Zhou Xianrui was not angry with Xiao Jinxuan, he was also extremely melancholy, and said with an extremely tired expression:

"So Jinxuan, you have nothing to explain, but you are alluding to my revenge on you. But what you said is very right, without your support and help, it may be difficult for me to ascend the throne and become emperor. So your kindness, Zhou Xianrui, has not forgotten, and I can't bear to hurt you in the slightest, so as long as Jinxuan is willing to tell me everything calmly, then I am willing to believe you. ”

When Zhou Xianrui first ascended the throne, he would call himself "I" in front of Xiao Jinxuan.

Because he doesn't like the woman he loves the most, because the identity of the emperor is gradually alienated.

But I don't know when Zhou Xianrui began to call himself "I" when he faced Xiao Jinxuan

This kind of thorough integration with the identity of the emperor is a natural change for Zhou Xianrui.

But at this moment, he once again referred to himself as "I". Obviously, his heart was also so excited that he lost his temper.

In fact, Zhou Xianrui didn't want to argue with Xiao Jinxuan about whether to trust or not, he just wanted to hear the other party's words about acknowledging the Beirong royal family.

In this way, he can give himself a reason to accept, an excuse to let Xiao Jinxuan live unhindered and continue to live.

At least according to Zhou Xianrui's character of caring for the society, if anyone who has the identity of the county lord of this enemy country is replaced by any other person, he will not leave this hidden danger and be executed directly.

But in the face of Xiao Jinxuan, it was difficult for him to make this dead hand, so he was willing to give the other party this last chance to tell the truth, so that he could at least convince himself to continue to trust the other party.

But Xiao Jinxuan's personality is too similar to Zhou Xianrui, they are the kind of characters who are not only calm, but will never show all their hole cards.

Therefore, it will be difficult for Xiao Jinxuan to trust Zhou Xianrui, and she is even more anxious to suppress Yang's affairs.

Therefore, in this case, with her cautious character, she will never mess up and tell the story of the descendants of the Beirong royal family.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan, who was completely unaware that Zhou Xianrui had completely grasped her true identity, just shook her head calmly at the question, and then knelt on the ground and said with an unchanged expression:

"Your Highness hasn't already asked out everything that should be known and what should not be known from the mouth of the Yang family. Then why are you bothering to ask me now, it's just that Jinxuan has a request, whether you expel me from the palace or disrupt the harem with unknown identity. But I, Xiao Jinxuan, is still in infancy, and was led into the Shuai Mansion, all of which was done by the Yang family, and I hope that Your Majesty will not anger the Xiao family. After all, if you really talk about it, they have been deceived for the past fifteen years, and they are also victims, and if they want to kill me, Xiao Jinxuan can suffer alone. ”

Seeing that she had got this last moment, Xiao Jinxuan still didn't tell the truth.

Especially the other party's calm and calm look, Zhou Xianrui suddenly felt that Xiao Jinxuan had said many deceitful words with this completely trustworthy face in the past, but he never discovered the truth.

At this moment, trust completely collapsed between Zhou Xianrui and Xiao Jinxuan.

Two people who once joined forces and formed an alliance, and even like confidants, are now left with only suspicion and difficulty in taking over each other.

In the face of Xiao Jinxuan's outspoken words and willingness to accept the punishment, Zhou Xianrui's injured eyes narrowed, but he returned to a calm appearance and smiled:

"Jinxuan, get up, just like you just said, the person who caused the twists and turns in your life is the Yang family, and she is the culprit in the whole thing. Therefore, whether it is you or Shuai Fu, I will naturally not punish more, especially since you have promised to show that the emperor will definitely take more care of the palace. So you just need to recuperate with peace of mind and wait for Ding Lao to take back the medicine, and I will naturally deal with your life experience properly. ”

Zhou Xianrui will suddenly be pleasant, not because he intends to let Xiao Jinxuan go, on the contrary, this practice of stabilizing the other party just proves that he is ready to make a move on him.

Xiao Jinxuan, who could finally get up from the ground with grace, stood up a little staggered, surprised that Zhou Xianrui's mood had changed so much before and after, and she couldn't help but look at the other party.

Looking at Zhou Xianrui now, he really looked calm, still so calm and calm, and he was even more smiling when he looked at her.

But somehow, Xiao Jinxuan, who has always had a very tacit understanding with the other party, couldn't see through Zhou Xianrui's heart for the first time.

I feel that the other party's smile is like a mask, completely covering up the real thoughts.

Suppressing the extreme discomfort in her heart, Xiao Jinxuan didn't even want to look at Zhou Xianrui's face again, but she still frowned and said forbearingly:

"Your Majesty is willing to help me in this matter, and Jinxuan is grateful. And I also know that I'm afraid that the Yang family will definitely not be able to live. But after all, the other party is Wen Yao's biological mother, so Jinxuan still wants to ask His Majesty for mercy. At the right time, ask me to lead Brother Yao to see Yang for the last time. ”

No matter what Xiao Jinxuan will do, the Yang family, who confesses this kind of secret and has no status and influence in itself, will definitely be alive.

In the face of Xiao Jinxuan's request, Zhou Xianrui immediately agreed with a chuckle without any hesitation.

Seeing that the words came here, the dormitory fell silent again, and Zhou Xianrui, who had changed his words as long as he saw Xiao Jinxuan, suddenly found that he had nothing to say.

Then Zhou Xianrui, who only felt tired in his heart, but the smile on his face was thick, and he immediately signaled that Xiao Jinxuan could go back to rest.

And when he saw Xiao Jinxuan's back bowing and withdrawing and completely disappeared from sight, the smile on the corner of Zhou Xianrui's mouth not only completely stiffened, but even his whole person shook twice, and then the black in front of him fell directly to the ground, completely fainting.
