After sending away Jixiang, Xiao Jinxuan let Baizhu hurry up to make tea, and waited for Zhou Xianrui to come after a while, so as to fulfill the friendship of the landlord and invite the other party to drink a cup of hot tea.

When only she and Zhuxin were left in the house, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but say something again.

"Zhuxin, you remember, those complaints today, you must not say it a second time in the future, I can protect you in Yangzhou, but in Jingshi, you Miss and I, I can't do this, Baizhu is stable, I am very relieved, and you are too impatient, it is easy to get into trouble."

Of course, Zhu Xin also knows her shortcomings, seeing that Xiao Jinxuan said solemnly, she was also busy, and she didn't dare to mess around for half a minute.

At this time, a low laugh suddenly came from outside the door, and then Zhou Xianrui's familiar voice came.

"I heard that the fourth lady was injured, and now that I see you admonishing Zhuxin with such spirit, I think this injury will definitely not be serious."

Because of the mold in the house, the doors and windows were wide open, so there was no need for anyone to report it, so Zhou Xianrui came in directly.

And in Yangzhou, Zhu Xin and others often meet with this Rui Wang, and they are also very familiar, and when they saw that the other party was coming, Zhu Xin hurriedly said hello.

Then he said sullenly: "When the prince comes, he will say cool words, my young lady has a big cut on her right wrist, and her palm is also cut, why is it not seriously injured." ”

Seeing that Zhu Xin's expression did not seem to be fake, Zhou Xianrui's smiling face narrowed, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Even if the fourth lady asks this king to come, she doesn't have to hurt her body like this."

These words made Zhu Xin on the side stunned, how could she listen to King Rui's meaning, this injury was caused by her own young lady, which confused her.

But Xiao Jinxuan didn't show any surprise, but the smile in her eyes became thicker and thicker.

"Your Highness, I don't know Jinxuan's difficulties, if it weren't for the fake show, my grandmother's fiery eyes would definitely be aware, and I am now walking on thin ice in the Shuai Mansion, so naturally I don't dare to take risks."

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan actually admitted it, Zhu Xinzai couldn't help it.

"Miss, Lord Wang, you all confused me, I still have it in my heart, and I scolded Miss Jinke hundreds of times, how did I get to the end, it wasn't Miss She who hurt you."

Zhou Xianrui and Xiao Jinxuan, the two of them smiled at the same time with a tacit understanding, and in the end, it was King Rui who opened his mouth first.

"Zhuxin, because you have followed the fourth miss for so long, why can't you see through your master's mind at all, let me ask you, do you really think that your young lady is so stupid that she can't even dodge, and let the candlestick hit her."

Hearing this, Zhu Xin hurriedly shook her head, how calm Xiao Jinxuan was, she had seen it, this kind of thing was indeed not like the mistake that Xiao Jinxuan would make.

With a low smile, Zhou Xianrui continued: "Since you can dodge, but you want to stand and be beaten, it can only mean that your young lady must have a plan, and this time, she will not smash this king." ”

Zhou Xianrui felt that he had said it clearly enough, but Zhu Xin still didn't understand.

Xiao Jinxuan couldn't stand it anymore, and continued helplessly:

"Zhuxin, I've been in Shuaifu for a few days, how big the rules are here, you've seen it, under normal circumstances, King Rui is a man, and he never has the opportunity to see me alone, but if I'm injured, it's different, after all, His Royal Highness just sent me back to Beijing, if I have an accident, he came to visit, it's reasonable, and no one has a reason to stop it, do you understand?"

If you want to clean up Xiao Jinke that day, just by burning the small Buddha hall and locking Xiao Jinyu in the side room, it is enough for the other party to suffer a lot.

And her idea of letting the other party hurt her, from beginning to end, was not to aggravate Xiao Jinke's fault, but to have another plan, and this plan was Zhou Xianrui.

After the two of them took turns to explain, Zhu Xin also figured it out, and while secretly admiring Xiao Jinxuan, she couldn't help but feel distressed.

And Zhou Xianrui also saw that Xiao Jinxuan's right arm and palm were wrapped in gauze, and his eyes couldn't help but flash with pity.

"The wound still hurts, if the fourth lady has something to find me, she can ask Zhuxin to pass on the news, why bother not caring for her body so much."

But who knows, when Xiao Jinxuan heard this, she hooked the corners of her mouth and sighed heavily.

"Hey, Zhu Xin just said a good thing, His Royal Highness really likes to talk cool, this Shuai Mansion now, I don't know how many eyes are staring at me, as long as Zhu Xin moves, I'm afraid that if the Shuai Mansion doesn't go out, the news will be robbed, my maid can't say it well, I have to be removed by the cane, and I will be in an instant, become precarious."

What she said is not nonsense, now the old lady is wary of her, Xiao Jinyu hates her, and the Qian family is even more eyeing her, as for the eldest aunt Zhao, although she is a kind-hearted person, but as a lady of the big house, it is inevitable that she will not plan for herself, who can say it accurately, the other party will not pay attention to her actions.

So Xiao Jinxuan can't move, if she moves, there will be chaos, who is willing to hurt herself, if she really has no choice, she will not choose this method and invite Zhou Xianrui to come.

When Zhou Xianrui heard this, he stopped talking, he only thought that the Qian family in the third room was Xiao Jinxuan's biggest resistance.

But he never thought that this fourth young lady was simply on the bar with the core figures of the Shuai Mansion, which was really surprising to him.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Xianrui said in a low voice: "Then now, the fourth lady is coming to me, presumably not to talk about the past, what do you need me to do, just say it, after all, in Yangzhou, this king owes you a lot of favors." ”

The cunning color flashed in her eyes, but Xiao Jinxuan smiled and said nothing.

Affection debt is easy to use, but it can be repeated and repeated, but it cannot be repeated and repeated, and when the wise king does not owe her, he is looking for help from the other party, and the price she has to pay is estimated to be not small.

Therefore, she tried so hard to hurt herself, not only to let the other party help her once, but she wanted long-term cooperation.

And with a meaningful smile on her face, Zhou Xianrui was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled.

I have to say that the two of them, to a certain extent, do have a tacit understanding, and they have the same mind with each other, as long as they look at each other, or a subtle movement, they can immediately understand what the other party means.

I saw Zhou Xianrui raise his eyebrows and said bluntly: "Fourth Miss is planning to join forces with this king?" But I don't know what you can give me. ”

In fact, even if the other party doesn't open his mouth today, Zhou Xianrui also plans to help each other secretly, but he has always been calm, and his feelings and business have always been very clear, so this help is also very limited, and the most that can be guaranteed is only Xiao Jinxuan, and his life will not be harmed.

But now if it is a relationship with an alliance, it is another matter, if the other party can give him enough benefits, Zhou Xianrui will definitely try his best to help, because this has nothing to do with personal feelings, and it is the overall situation.

At this time, Baizhu came back from making tea, and Xiao Jinxuan personally poured a cup of tea for Zhou Xianrui before she spoke again:

"The situation in Beijing, before I came, my father also said a few words to me, as far as I know, the second prince, because of the help of Empress Xue, plus the support of his grandfather and Prime Minister Xue, has been pressing the crown prince, doesn't His Royal Highness want to change this situation?"

Zhou Xianrui raised his head in surprise when he heard this, he thought that the chips proposed by Xiao Jinxuan would be very tempting, but he didn't expect the other party to plot so big.

A boudoir woman talked about the political situation in front of him like this, and even used this as a condition to talk to him with a light smile, and suddenly his appreciation of Xiao Jinxuan rose to a new height.

What the other party said is very important, and even if it is not good, it will really change the situation between the DPRK and China, Zhou Xianrui's expression became serious, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

"What the fourth lady said is right, but Xue Xiang is the only one in the court, and no one can compete with him, if you want to change the situation, it is not easy to talk about it."

Xiao Jinxuan took a sip of the high-quality plum blossom tea brought from Yangzhou, and then smiled slightly.

"Your Highness's words are good, but you seem to have forgotten that being dominant in the court does not mean that you can also dominate in the Great Zhou, is it possible that my Xiao family has 600,000 troops in hand, and it can't be equal to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Slightly stunned, Zhou Xianrui said when he heard this: "Marshal Xiao is naturally more powerful than Xue Xiang, but your grandfather has never participated in party struggles, can the fourth lady still be around, far away in the will of Marshal Xiao, let him support His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

It's not that Zhou Xianrui doesn't believe it, but no one can do this at all, even if Xiao Jinxuan brings him surprises again and again, he doesn't think that the other party has this ability.

And Xiao Jinxuan shook her head very simply, admitting that she didn't have the ability

But then, she immediately said: "I can't influence my grandfather's thoughts, but His Royal Highness seems to have forgotten that the men of the Xiao family are all guarding the frontier, and the head of the Jing family has always been the women and children of the back house, to a large extent, the attitude of the Xiao family is not decided by my grandfather, but by the family members of this Shuai Mansion, I say this, His Royal Highness thinks it is right." ”

Zhou Xianrui couldn't understand what the other party meant, he had always been steady, and his eyes even flashed with ecstasy.

That's right, as long as the Shuai Mansion is in charge of the family and makes a stand in support of the prince, then whether this is or not, what Marshal Xiao means, it is also his decision to open it to outsiders.

At that time, with the relationship between the Xiao family, the prince's faction will be on par with the second prince.

Moreover, the Xiao family has military power in their hands, and even Emperor Ming has to be afraid of three points, and when the time comes, he can completely fake the power of the tiger, collect a group of ministers in the court, and use them for the prince, just thinking about the benefits he can get, Zhou Xianrui can't calm down.

But after the excitement, he also knew that if there was a gain, there must be a pay, so he squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Jinxuan.

"Then I don't know what Miss Fourth, I want this king to do something for you."

The topic finally returned, Xiao Jinxuan's most important part, what she wanted to get, she had already calculated it in her heart.

So I saw that she said without hesitation: "Actually, what Jinxuan needs His Highness to do is very simple, that is, to help me control the power of the Shuai Mansion, so that not only to help me, but also to help Your Highness yourself." ”

When Zhou Xianrui heard this, he immediately nodded and agreed, after all, if Xiao Jinxuan was not in power, and wanted the Shuai Mansion to express his support for the prince, everything would be empty talk, so he would definitely do his best to help.

Seeing the other party's promise, Xiao Jinxuan smiled, and suddenly said faintly:

"Now that you and I are joining forces again, should the eyeliner arranged by His Highness in the Shuai Mansion also take over for me, you have also seen my current situation, Wen Xin is not by my side, and the two maids are both women, Your Highness should always show some sincerity and send me a competent person."

Accustomed to Wen Xin, the other party's departure, she is really uncomfortable, but just when she arrived at the Shuai Mansion, it is normal to bring two personal rings, if Wen Xin is also brought in, the trouble is absolutely indispensable, and it is too ostentatious, it is better to call the other party, first buy an industry outside the house, there are many places to use money in the future, and it is also very necessary to take precautions.
