Chapter 510: Things are not people
Princess Cheng'an saw that she couldn't save her son Bai Hang, and suddenly felt that she had nothing to love, and she couldn't help but want to die first.
When the province arrived, she witnessed the scene when her son was sent to the guillotine, and when the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, she didn't dare to imagine how she would bear it.
Therefore, Cheng An, who was determined to die, picked up the dagger extremely quickly, and even when Aunt Biyun beside her wanted to stop it, it was too late.
And just when everyone was watching Princess Cheng'an and was about to die on the spot.
But just when the other party cut his neck to reveal a bloody mark, he didn't have time to stab the dagger deeper.
Suddenly, everyone saw a copper coin, penetrating the door of Xiao Jinxuan's carriage, with a sharp whistling sound, rushing towards the dagger held by Princess Cheng'an, and shooting directly like a meteor.
Immediately after that, the onlookers saw that the ordinary copper coins that were in their hands on weekdays were just used to trade and buy goods, but this would be like a hidden weapon.
Not only did it hit Cheng An's dagger tightly, but it also hit it at the same time, as if it had produced a great shock.
actually forced Her Royal Highness, the princess who was bent on death, to hold the dagger no longer, and as the sharp weapon fell to the ground again, Cheng An's life was saved without danger.
Compared to the clouds and fog that everyone watched, they were surprised by the copper coin.
Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but turn her head to look at the carriage, and then laughed silently, because she knew in her heart that it must be Zhou Xianyu who broke the siege, which saved Cheng An's life.
Seeing that Princess Cheng'an would have been caught by Aunt Biyun, Xiao Jinxuan, who was difficult to do anything to hurt herself, and was quite tired of not wanting to continue to entangle with the other party, couldn't help but say calmly:
"Aunt Biyun, send your princess back to rest, although the Huaguo Mansion has been sealed now, His Majesty has already given the princess mansion to your master to live in. You are the other party's aunt, remember to take care of Her Royal Highness the princess on weekdays. If the other party makes any mistakes, you will never be able to escape the involvement, so do it yourself. ”
As soon as Xiao Jinxuan finished speaking this last exhortation, she turned around and got into the carriage with Wen Xin's support.
After the car swayed slightly again and drove forward, Xiao Jinxuan, who was now sitting in the carriage, frowned and closed her eyes, leaning against the window with a tired face.
Seeing her like this, Zhou Xianyu, who was sitting on the other side, immediately couldn't help but tighten his heart, and even leaned forward and hugged Xiao Jinxuan in his arms.
Then Zhou Xianyu leaned Xiao Jinxuan's head on the crook of his arm, and thoughtfully used his entire left arm as a pillow for the other party, and he asked with concern:
"Jinxuan, what's wrong with you, if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me. Just now, my aunt was indeed a little excessive, and she even made trouble to the point of forcing each other to death. It's also a shame that this is me who followed you in the carriage, poured copper coins into the internal force, and bounced the dagger in the opponent's hand to the ground. Otherwise, she really couldn't think of losing her life for Bai Hang, the disobedient and unfilial beast who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. One is not worth it, and the other will inevitably affect you Jinxuan. Auntie, in fact, I used to think that she was a rare person in the royal family who understood things, but now it seems that I was wrong. ”
The daughter of a former emperor committed suicide on her knees in front of the current emperor's concubine.
No matter what the merits are, as long as Cheng An dies today, Xiao Jinxuan will inevitably be subjected to double criticism and pressure from the harem.
And with her eyes closed, she would lie quietly in Zhou Xianyu's arms, and she couldn't remember the last time Xiao Jinxuan was so relaxed.
Her eyes still hadn't opened, and after changing to a more comfortable position, she said with a helpless smile:
"Xianyu, do you know that in the past six months since the rebellion was quelled, I finally deeply understood what it means to be a human being. Obviously, the Jingshi is still this piece of heaven and earth, and the front dynasty of the harem is still those familiar palaces and pavilions. But the people in the midst of it have become very strange to me, even terrifying. ”
Having said this, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but open her eyes and looked up at Zhou Xianyu's evil handsome and extremely familiar face.
Immediately, she raised her hand to hold the other party's arm, and then continued in a bitter voice:
"Actually, Princess Cheng'an didn't mean to embarrass me, if nothing happened to the Bai family, I believe she would still be the princess who eats fasting and worships Buddha and does not eat fireworks in the world. However, with the different environments and the constant changes in the situation, in fact, each of us is subtly changing our own position and mentality in the face of the present. In fact, it is not only Princess Cheng'an, but Empress Xue in the harem, who originally covered the sky with one hand, can only lie dormant now, and she is not as strong as she was in her heyday. Concubine Niangniang, who has always cared about and trusted me, became the Queen Mother of the West, and she began to worry that I had too much power and became the second Empress Xue. As for Xiangping, although he and I are still like sisters on the face, I can feel that behind the other party's smile, there is a cold coldness. Xianyu, what is wrong with everyone, why is the rebellion stable, and each other who were originally like a family, but I feel that I am drifting apart, and I can no longer find the feeling that made me feel warm and reassuring. ”
In fact, in the harem, Xiangping thought that he was hiding it well, but in fact, Xiao Jinxuan had gone through so many ups and downs, and whether the other party's smile was true or false couldn't be hidden from her at all.
It's just that she misses each other's former sisterhood, so Xiao Jinxuan doesn't want to, let alone expose Xiangping.
can maintain the relaxation on her face, until the moment she leaves the palace, Xiao Jinxuan is also satisfied, and she doesn't want to ask for anything else.
And in the face of Chen's back, he deliberately gave inferior jewelry to Zhaoyang Palace.
Even if Xiao Jinxuan always laughed at it, she even warned Wen Xin and others not to hold grudges, let alone any retaliatory retaliation.
But Xiao Jinxuan is also an ordinary person, she will feel uncomfortable if she is targeted, and she will feel tired if she is not understood.
But all these hardships have always been so hard that she can only smash her teeth and swallow them in her stomach, and there is no one in the harem who can ask her to talk about her bitterness.
After all, I told Wen Xin and others, according to Xiao Jinxuan's understanding of her, with the other party's current character.
Wen Xin had to target Empress Chen behind her back, but this was not what she wanted to see.
Tell Shen Wenqing, the other party is quite upright, and when he is looking for Chen Hou's theory in order to give her a grievance, everyone will be even more unhappy, and Xiao Jinxuan will also feel very troublesome.
So sometimes, at midnight in the palace, when Xiao Jinxuan tosses and turns, she will also look at the moon outside the window and think about these things quietly.
And in that kind of dead of night, she even felt that she had become a loner, and as her power increased, there were fewer and fewer people around her who could really trust her.
Xiao Jinxuan, who had been excluded and ignored in her previous life, didn't like this feeling very much.
Therefore, there were countless times when she couldn't even bear it, and she wanted to ignore it and leave the palace directly, which seemed to her to be like a cage.
But Xiao Jinxuan has always been calm after all, and this impulsive thought is only a matter of a moment.
Often in the end, she will comfort her tired heart, and then continue to grit her teeth and stay in the palace to complete what she needs to do.
As for Xiao Jinxuan's feelings, when Emperor Ming was alive, he was always an idle prince, but now Zhou Xianyu, who holds the power of the Military Aircraft Department, also has a deep understanding.
With the military power in hand, there are more and more government affairs to be handled.
Zhou Xianyu obviously felt that between him and Zhou Xianrui, the imperial brother, although the brotherhood has not decreased in the slightest.
But the feeling of getting along with the government and the opposition when they get together like in the past to drink and talk about the political situation has not been passed for a long time.
After all, Zhou Xianrui's identity in the past was Zhou Xianyu's fifth brother, so he could talk loudly in front of the other party without any scruples.
But with Zhou Xianrui's ascension to the throne and the emperor, even if Zhou Xianyu knew that the other party still treated him as always.
But in front of the emperor, pointing out the country and wantonly talking about the government, just thinking about this feeling makes people feel quite awkward, and it is impossible to speak.
In fact, in Zhou Xianyu's heart, he felt that what he missed the most between him and Zhou Xianrui was the fifth brother when he was the prince, but whenever he left Beijing on official business, he followed the other party as a bodyguard and traveled around.
Then the two brothers, riding horses and whips, crossed the plateau and crossed the river.
But with the fifth brother ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, Zhou Xianyu knew that that time would become eternal, and it would be difficult to have a chance to try it in the future.
Removing the loneliness and loneliness in his eyes, Zhou Xianyu has always wanted to bring joy to the other party in front of Xiao Jinxuan, and did not want to leave his melancholy to the other party.
Therefore, after looking at this and sighing, he relied on Xiao Jinxuan who was leaning on his arms, and the other party's face after removing all his tenacity was so pitiful, and Zhou Xianyu felt distressed when he saw it.
Lowering his head and gently kissing Xiao Jinxuan's forehead, Zhou Xianyu couldn't help but say with pity:
"Xuan'er, you are in the harem, but if there is anything, I can't take care of you at all. In fact, I can guess a little bit of the queen mother's attitude towards you. After all, I had a separate meeting with the imperial brother today, and the elder brother also said that the queen mother went to find him this morning, in order to take back all the power in your hands in the palace. Jinxuan, I am the prince of the royal family, and assisting the royal brother to stabilize the country is my unshirkable responsibility of Zhou Xianyu. But you are not from the royal family of my Zhou family, if you are really too hard, you can leave the harem and stay away from Jingshi temporarily. When I can leave completely, I will naturally look for you, Xuan'er, you said that this is good. ”
Regarding Zhou Xianyu's proposal, Xiao Jinxuan did have a momentary heartbeat, but the next moment she looked at the other party's concerned gaze, she shook her head with a gentle smile and refused.
"Xianyu, I know that you are concerned about my discomfort in the palace, so you said those words. But compared to the step-by-step camp in the harem, tired of coping, what I am more afraid of is that I can't be by your side when you need help the most. Instead of staying away from Jingshi first, and then worrying about you all day long. I'd rather stay in the harem to contain Empress Xue, and do everything possible to join forces with you to stabilize the situation as soon as possible. No matter when, I will always advance and retreat with you, never give up, and never leave first. ”
