Chapter 389: The Only Candidate

Although Guo Yi's words were only a few words, the study instantly became silent.

Whether it is Zhou Xianrui or Xiao Jinxuan, who has been standing by the side and listening quietly.

None of them thought that Guo Yi had said a good way for a long time, but he actually asked him to get married.

Although Zhou Xianrui did have a trace of unforgettable feelings for Xiao Jinxuan since he hit Yangzhou.

But from the beginning to the end, he never thought of taking the relationship between them to the next level.

What's more, now his seventh brother has died tragically, and his body has not even been recovered.

asked him to marry the other party's beloved woman at this time, which was simply a humiliation for Zhou Xianrui, who has always had a deep brotherly relationship.

And Zhou Xianrui is still so resistant, so Xiao Jinxuan, who has never had any love for him at all, naturally doesn't understand why Guo Yi wants to mess around with mandarin ducks here.

And after Guo Yi saw that the two of them were speechless in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh and said:

"I know that my idea, whether it is for the county lord or the prince, it must be difficult to accept for a while. But the prince, you should know that as long as you are the prince and concubine, according to the ancestral system, you do have to enter the palace to meet the emperor, so only in this way can you enter the palace logically. ”

But as soon as he heard this, Zhou Xianrui couldn't help but immediately say:

"Guo Yi, maybe your proposal is indeed a good idea. That king is in the family, looking for a suitable person to be accepted as a side concubine. As for Jinxuan, I won't choose her, otherwise how can I be worthy of the dead Xianyu, and this king will not let the county lord of Zhaoyang sacrifice his marriage because of this. ”

Waving his hand vigorously, Guo Yi couldn't help but glance at Xiao Jinxuan, who was speechless, and then continued with a hint of helplessness:

"My Royal Highness King Rui, if you find a random woman to take a concubine, do you think Empress Xue will easily let you enter the palace at this critical juncture? Only the county lord is a person who has the dual identity of being a marshal mansion and the righteous daughter of the king of Yongchang. In order to call Empress Xue, even if he didn't want to, he had to let him go. In addition to the county lord, if Guo Yi could still think of a person who was valuable enough to suppress Empress Xue, I would never say this. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Xianrui couldn't help but fall silent, because he couldn't find any reason to refute Guo Yi's words.

As a member of the royal family, all the princesses with noble status are his half-sisters, and the county lords of the royal palaces are all cousins with him.

And in addition to the palaces of the various royal families, there is indeed only one thing left that can compete with the Xue family, Xiao Shuai's Mansion, which controls nearly half of the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou.

Therefore, in addition to Xiao Jinxuan's Yongchang Wang's righteous daughter, she is ranked as a royal clansman.

Zhou Xianrui also had to admit that if he accepted the other party as a concubine, Empress Xue would be afraid of the status of the Xiao family, and would never dare to stop him.

But Xiao Jinxuan, as another party, understood these truths even in her heart, but after she glanced at Guo Yi indifferently, she walked out of the study.

That's right, Xiao Jinxuan really hated Empress Xue's mother and son, and even more because she remembered Emperor Hui of the Ming Emperor in the palace, as well as Xiangping Xianchen and others, and was willing to do her best to stop the wolf ambitions of the Xue family.

But in Xiao Jinxuan's heart, even if she helps, there is definitely a bottom line.

Let her sacrifice her marriage for a lifetime to help Zhou Xianrui, but Xiao Jinxuan doesn't care. But she would never allow herself to be disappointed by Zhou Xianyu.

So now she doesn't want to stay here at all, and she won't use the trick that Guo Yi came up with to break the game.

But at the moment when Xiao Jinxuan's hand was already on the door, and was about to open the door.

Guo Yi's next words made her movements completely freeze in place.

"Miss Jinxuan, Guo Yi remembers that when I first saw you, you were not the county lord at that time, and that's what I called you. Knowing my method is really difficult. But even if you don't think about the imperial court, don't you want to avenge His Royal Highness himself? Then do you know that the prince's dead night is just an accomplice, and the real mastermind behind the scenes is the Xue family. ”

Guo Yi is a good person, so after deciding to make friends with officials in the prime minister's lineage.

He quickly resolved all the previous unhappiness between them, and they became one.

Even Empress Xue's own brother, Xue Yuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, now calls Guo Yi a brother and a brother.

And between Yeyingguo and Xiangfu, the city was used as a bargaining chip in exchange for the other party sending troops to deal with Zhou Xianyu, after a drunkenness, Xue Yuan said everything complacently.

Therefore, seeing that Xiao Jinxuan was unwilling to cooperate with this strategy at all, Guo Yi had no choice but to tell this matter.

After all, Guo Yi just looked frivolous, but in fact, he also attached great importance to the foundation of Jiangshan Sheji and the Da Zhou Dynasty for more than 100 years.

And Guo Yi believes that knowing that the matter involves Zhou Xianyu, then even if Xiao Jinxuan can not care about anyone's life or death, she will definitely not stand idly by.

As expected, almost as soon as Guo Yi's words were finished, I saw Xiao Jinxuan by the door, who had already walked back with a bad face, and said in a cold voice:

"Guo Yi, you won't say this to persuade me. If Xianyu's death was not the result of the struggle between countries, but the Xue family's encouragement. Then I won't just forget it, I must avenge Xianyu and kill all the people of the Xue clan. ”

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan's eyes, her eyes flushed and her face full of murderous intent, Guo Yi snorted and said:

"I understand the county lord's mood very well, but do you think that on your own, you are now the opponent of the Xue family. After all, your father-in-law, King Yongchang, had already been forcibly detained in the palace by Empress Xue on the grounds of illness. Therefore, your identity as the county lord has no effect at all in the current situation where the dispute will arise. Only by joining forces with King Rui to rescue His Majesty first, so that he is not trapped under the control of Empress Xue, so that we can not be so passive. ”

Looking at Xiao Jinxuan this time, without turning around and leaving directly, Guo Yi hurriedly continued while the iron was hot:

"Say something offensive to you, the county lord, this royal highness has now died in battle, and since the county lord has claimed to be the other party's surviving wife, he must have no intention of marrying someone else in this life. In that case, why don't you become the side concubine of Lord Rui, anyway, as long as you know that all this is fake, then why not. It's just a side concubine's title, and there is no husband and wife, wait until things settle down. The prince can take a letter of resignation and return the county lord to a free body. Now that everything is expedient, I hope you two will not hesitate any longer. ”

But this time, before Xiao Jinxuan could speak, Zhou Xianrui had already frowned and refused:

"You don't have to say anything about Guo Yi, this king will never agree. Now everyone knows that Jinxuan and Xianyu were married by their father and the emperor himself, but now the news of Xianyu's death in battle has only arrived. If Jinxuan marries me, wouldn't outsiders who don't know the truth want to criticize her, and I must not let Jinxuan suffer such wrongs in vain. ”

The news of her fiancΓ©'s death came, and Xiao Jinxuan, who was the princess-to-be, immediately remarried someone else before she arrived in March, and the object was Zhou Xianyu's half-brother.

If this is spread, Xiao Jinxuan will inevitably have a rich and noble climbing, and she will have a shameless reputation.

But this time, before Guo Yi waited, Xiao Jinxuan, who had been silent for a long time, said coldly first:

"Don't say it again, I agree to Guo Yi's method. Your Highness, you have to use the prestige of the Shuai Mansion behind me to compete with the Prime Minister's Mansion and Empress Xue's mother and son. And I, Xiao Jinxuan, am alone, and I have no chance to trip over the Xue clan and avenge Xianyu. So the two of us joining forces is really the best way right now. Anyway, Xianyu has already gone, so I wouldn't have been planning to get married. Now that a marriage contract can contain the Xue family and change the current situation, I am willing to bet on this bargaining chip. ”

Since Yangzhou, he has known that he is by no means the most suitable person for Xiao Jinxuan.

Zhou Xianrui has been silently guarding each other in the dark, and it can be said that he single-handedly contributed to the relationship between Zhou Xianyu and Xiao Jinxuan.

But the world is impermanent, Zhou Xianrui really didn't expect that under the accident, he would one day marry Xiao Jinxuan as his side concubine.

Therefore, Zhou Xianrui, who has never lost his temper at any time, will not be able to tell what kind of feeling he feels in his heart.

There is discomfort, guilt, and even a little joy.

Anyway, he was completely stunned at this time, just looking at Xiao Jinxuan's gentle face, he didn't know what he was saying in this situation.

Zhou Xianrui would lose his temper like this, it was because he had affection for Xiao Jinxuan in his heart.

But Xiao Jinxuan, who completely regarded this marriage as a weapon against the Xue family, was unusually calm, and did not even set off a ripple in her heart.

And this will already know who killed Zhou Xianyu, Xiao Jinxuan is left with hatred, and she has no regrets about what price she pays.

Therefore, not to mention that it is just a nominal side concubine, it is Guo Yi who said that with one of her heads, she can completely destroy the Xue family.

Then Xiao Jinxuan would not hesitate for half a minute, and then he could swing a knife and cut off his head.

And Xiao Jinxuan, who knew that it was not so simple to marry Zhou Xianrui, couldn't help but think about it carefully, and then said decisively:

"At a critical moment, I want to call the Shuai Mansion to become your reliance on His Royal Highness King Rui. Then I must get rid of all the people in the palace who are always out of the way before I become a side concubine. And if it weren't for Old Madam Xiao and the others joining forces to drive me out of the mansion, then there would never be such things as Chi Ling and others who lost their lives in order to protect me. Therefore, although Ji Lingfeng is the culprit, those people in the Shuai Mansion are all accomplices, so I will not let any of them go. ”

As soon as these words were finished, a strong murderous intent burst out from the depths of Xiao Jinxuan's eyes.

Originally, she had actually agreed with Zhou Xianyu that when the other party came back, she would stay away from the rights and wrongs of the Beijing master, stay with each other, wander away from the countries, and be a couple who only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals.

But now her dream has been shattered, since these people are so unwilling to fulfill her.

That Xiao Jinxuan has already made up her mind, this time she will definitely turn the Beijing division upside down and kill the Quartet.
