Chapter 432: Two by two

Xiao Jinxuan felt that this Jingshi was about to change the sky, and this was not her unfounded worry.

After all, the city defense battalion and the cavalry battalion are the core elite divisions in the Beijing Division.

Although each battalion only has 5,000 soldiers and horses, when put together in one place, it can form an army of 10,000 people.

And if Empress Xue and Xiangfu didn't have different intentions, how could they bring these two battalions of soldiers and horses together.

Xiao Jinxuan immediately knew that the situation was serious, and she couldn't help but worry faintly that today's family banquet would not evolve into a Hongmen banquet.

If Empress Xue takes the opportunity to remove all the children of the royal family, it will be more than enough with the current military power in the hands of the other party.

But even if this is a killing game, Xiao Jinxuan knows very well that she and Zhou Xianrui have no choice.

After all, if you enter the palace to serve tea in February of the wedding, if you don't worry about the ancestral system to do this, you will leave your mouth to Queen Xue.

At that time, the other party will be bullied as the queen mother, as long as Zhou Xianrui is announced into Fengxiang Palace alone, then Empress Xue may not dare to do anything to him, after all, the prince is the best column.

Now Xiao Jinxuan, who can't help but have a headache as long as she thinks about things for too long, frowned and thought for a while, and then said to Guo Yi:

"I will discuss this matter with the prince, Guo Yi, even if you have the ability to govern the country, don't forget that you are also a powerless minister. So no matter how chaotic this situation is, you have to protect yourself. Only by living can you continue to serve this court, so don't come to me for a while now, do you understand. ”

Guo Yi's current identity, which is typical of being in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and leaking the secrets of the Prime Minister's Mansion is indeed an extremely dangerous thing in itself.

Xiao Jinxuan knew that Guo Yi had the ability, so she cherished her talents, but she didn't want to look at each other and lose her life because of this upcoming political turmoil. Otherwise, it has to be said that it is a loss for the Great Zhou Dynasty.

And Guo Yi saw that the situation was critical today, Xiao Jinxuan did not ask him to pass on more information, but asked him to protect himself.

Immediately, Guo Yi couldn't help but be moved, but also felt that following Xiao Jinxuan was the wisest choice he had made in his life.

After Guo Yi told Xiao Jinxuan some more important information, the carriage also stopped at the foot of the imperial city.

In order to make Guo Yi's bitter meat drama look more realistic, in the end, Xin stretched out a foot and deliberately kicked the other party directly out of the carriage.

And at Guo Yi's own request, Xin's kick was ruthless.

Therefore, looking at Guo Yi, not only did he roll to the ground, but he was covered in dust, and even his palms were scratched.

knew that the more miserable Guo Yi looked, the more beneficial it would be to him, so Xiao Jinxuan ignored the other party's deliberate painful groans and endless accusations, and directly ordered Xin to drive into the palace.

Because today's family banquet was held by Empress Xue, the banquet will also be held in Fengxiang Palace.

Because carriages are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard of the harem, Xiao Jinxuan, who will walk to Fengxiang Palace with Zhou Xianrui, saw the continuous flow of eunuchs in the palace, she couldn't help but lower her voice slightly and said:

"Wang Ye Shicai Guo Yi told me that Empress Xue and the Prime Minister's Mansion have begun to gather troops. If the other party decides to do it, it will definitely not be afraid of our Shuai Mansion. Therefore, we can't leave anything wrong with going to the banquet today, otherwise we will be caught by Empress Xue, and it will be troublesome to make a big deal out of it. ”

Guo Yi is talented, and Zhou Xianrui is actually very clear about this.

But he himself is rigorous and upright, so Guo Yi's slightly deviant and unprincipled methods and strategies make Zhou Xianrui instinctively feel very resistant and disliked.

But he knew in his heart that since Guo Yi said that the Xue family was about to rebel. Zhou Xianrui knew this, and it was estimated that there would be no mistake, and immediately his heart was blocked, and his hands were clenched together because of anger.

After all, the Xue family of the Prime Minister's Mansion can have today's glory and status, which is all given by their Zhou family's royal family.

But as a subordinate, now he has to control the imperial power, if Zhou Xianrui didn't have no soldiers in his hands, otherwise he would have endured it for so long.

However, knowing that this would be upset, it would only make it more difficult to control the situation, so Zhou Xianrui also said in a low voice after taking a deep breath:

"Jinxuan, you don't have to worry, because the ghost doctor Ding has a needle, although my father's Gu poison is incurable, but the few times I found the opportunity to enter the palace, he was awake, and he was not as unconscious as before. And this family banquet, my father was afraid that Empress Xue would do something, so the last time I went to see him, my father said that he would come to Fengxiang Palace in person. He expected that Empress Xue was acting recklessly, and he didn't dare to poison this king in her palace like the crown prince and royal brother. ”

Hearing that Emperor Ming would also go to the banquet, Xiao Jinxuan's heart was a little more stable.

But seeing that Fengxiang Palace was getting closer and closer, Xiao Jinxuan grabbed Zhou Xianrui's sleeve, and then took the silver hollow bead that the ghost doctor Ding gave to her from his waist.

"Lord Wang, this is something that Ding Lao gave me, and there is a black beetle in this bead. Ding Lao later told me that this was a Gu devouring worm, specializing in all kinds of poisonous techniques that used insects as Gu. Zuo Wen beside Empress Xue is a Gu master, if she gives you a Gu quietly, it will be troublesome at that time. ”

Regarding Zuo Wen's ability to poison, Zhou Xianrui had heard of it from Xiao Jinxuan as early as possible.

But he didn't expect that Xiao Jinxuan would not consider his own safety, but handed over the things to him to restrain Gu poison, and immediately Zhou Xianrui's heart tightened, and he couldn't help asking:

"Jinxuan, what do you mean, this king is a dignified seven-foot man, how could he put you in danger for the sake of his own safety. You gave me this Gu devouring worm, then wouldn't you yourself be in danger of being hit by the Gu. What's more, why did you decide to hand it over to this king, after all, the emperor also came to the banquet with him, don't you worry about his safety? ”

Zhou Xianrui is good at suppressing his inner emotions, but in his feelings, people who are restrained and calm cannot be absolutely sober.

Just like Zhou Xianrui here, even if he knows that Xiao Jinxuan only has Zhou Xianyu in his heart.

But when the other party decided to hand over the life-saving Gu Devouring Worm to him, Zhou Xianrui couldn't help but have some expectations in his heart, feeling that Xiao Jinxuan might always have a trace of affection for him.

But Xiao Jinxuan, who was cautiously guessing Empress Xue's intentions, didn't hear the glimmer of expectation in Zhou Xianrui's words.

Therefore, seeing Xiao Jinxuan, after shaking her head, she was extremely serious and said with caution:

"Your Royal Highness, what are you talking about? I, Xiao Jinxuan, am worried about Xianyu, and I am also very sorry for my life. But I know better that you are the heir to the throne chosen by His Majesty. If you have an accident, then wouldn't this Great Zhou Dynasty have to be handed over to the Xue family for control. If that's the case, then I really won't be willing to die. ”

The glimmer of expectation in his heart was extinguished because of Xiao Jinxuan's words, and he smiled silently, Zhou Xianrui knew that he was looking forward to too much.

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan insisted on handing him the Gu Devouring Worm, Zhou Xianrui couldn't resist it in the end, so he reached out and took it.

But at this moment, suddenly from behind the two of them, there was an extremely evil laughter.

"Two months after the wedding, the two are really husband and wife, and their love is inexplicable. This silver bell bead is so exquisite, I don't know that Concubine Xiao is still such a person who sends some small things from time to time. It seems that it is my Zhou Xianyu who is difficult to enter your eyes, so I can't change your tenderness before. ”

Countless nights of tossing and turning, all that Xiao Jinxuan missed was Zhou Xianyu's voice and appearance.

Therefore, almost the familiar voice of the other party behind him came. Xiao Jinxuan couldn't hide the pain of lovesickness, and couldn't wait to turn around and look at the other party.

Even if Zhou Xianyu's words were full of cynicism, seeing the other party standing in front of him unhindered, Xiao Jinxuan felt satisfied at this moment.

And when talking about Zhou Xianyu, don't look at the words in his mouth that are ruthless and even full of mockery.

In fact, he was injured by love, and he was in the Beijing military camp before he came back to Beijing. The reason why I decided to come to the banquet was to see Xiao Jinxuan with my own eyes and see if the other party was okay.

The two people who love each other but are difficult to keep together, in fact, deep down, they are worried about each other.

But because of bitterness and misunderstanding, they love and hurt each other, which really makes people sigh that creation makes people unpredictable.

And looking at each other in pairs, although they didn't say anything, they seemed to have Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu, who were not fully sad and infatuated, and Zhou Xianrui, who was somehow standing on the side, felt a burst of sourness in his heart.

Even though he knew that Xiao Jinxuan was eager to look at Zhou Xianyu a few times, Zhou Xianrui went to the ghost and grabbed the other party's wrist, and then said in a deep voice:

"Xuan'er, it's time for us to go in. After all, the father, the queen and the queen are all here, and if they are delayed, they will eventually fall behind. Don't forget that the current situation is very precarious, and since you are now nominally the king's side concubine. If this is to make Xianyu emotional, he will only carry the infamy and make the turbulent situation more confusing. So how to do it, I believe that with your calm and calm temperament, you will definitely be able to make the most correct choice. ”

Zhou Xianrui's voice was extremely low, so even Zhou Xianyu, who had excellent ear power, did not hear it clearly because he was still standing at a distance.

But the other party's "Xuan'er", because it was called out in a normal voice, so Zhou Xianyu could hear it clearly, and he couldn't help but feel his blood surging again.

After all, the only person who has always called Xiao Jinxuan like this is Zhou Xianyu.

When he first heard that Zhou Xianrui was calling Xiao Jinxuan like this, Zhou Xianyu had a kind of thing that he felt belonged to him, and he was ruthlessly taken away, which made it difficult for him to accept.

Feeling angry and depressed, he saw that Zhou Xianyu couldn't help but glance at Xiao Jinxuan deeply, and between Shi Cai and the other party, the slight softness was revealed, and it was also taken away again.

Then I saw him sneer evilly, and then he passed by Xiao Jinxuan's side directly. Without glancing at the other party, he walked indifferently into the gate of Fengxiang Palace first.
