Xue Yuyan was about to be burned in the dormitory, but her last request was to hope that Zhou Xianrui would spare the innocent Brother Qi.

This kind of change from Xue Yuyan's selfish approach in the past made Zhou Xianrui feel surprised, but he still refused the other party's last request.

"Xue Yuyan, don't think I don't know, this baby boy named Brother Qi also has the blood of your Xue family. It won't be long before your Prime Minister's Xue family will be beheaded because of the rebellion of the four kings back then. I will directly destroy your ten clans, so I will not let this kid live, if you want to blame him, I can only blame him for his surname Xue. ”

Burning the dormitory in order to prevent Xue Yuyan from having a chance to escape halfway, Zhou Xianrui, who has always been meticulous and extremely invisible.

Immediately, he held the Golden Dragon Sword in his hand again, preparing to kill Xue Yuyan and the baby boy first, so that the other party's pain could be minimized, and he didn't need to worry about the changes in life.

In the face of Zhou Xianrui's ruthlessness and indifference, Xue Yuyan, who had no power to resist, also knew that he was powerless to return to the sky, so all that was left was to hold the dead baby in his arms and cry bitterly.

Just when Zhou Xianyu raised his sword to stab Xue Yuyan, Xiao Jinxuan, who had not spoken since he came in, not only stopped him, but also blocked the front of the Golden Dragon Sword.

Zhou Xianrui's sword, which had already fallen half, after seeing Xiao Jinxuan standing in front of Xue Yuyan, in order to prevent injury to the other party, he couldn't help but retract it, and asked in surprise:

"Jinxuan, what do you mean by this, you have never been an indecisive person in major matters. Jinxuan, you can't be deceived by Xue Yuyan's words, you must know that the harem scandal must not be spread, otherwise it will only have an extremely serious impact on the royal family. Only by making them completely disappear with this dormitory can today's freaks be completely covered up. ”

Even if Zhou Xianrui doesn't talk about these truths, how can Xiao Jinxuan not be clear, and she also admits that the other party's method is indeed the most effective and useful.

But it was clear and clear, but Shi Cai looked at the damaged baby girl in his arms, and it was Xue Yuyan who was so helpless and crying on the ground.

Xiao Jinxuan didn't know what was wrong with her, her nose was sore, and she almost didn't shed tears.

Even in her mind, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but think of the past when she fled to Rabbit Ridge to worship the first seven in order to worship her child Nan'er, and was caught by Xiao Jinyu's leaders, and finally died tragically in the mountains and forests.

The kind of persistence that a mother is willing to sacrifice for her child is now seen in Xue Yuyan's body, so even if Zhou Xianrui feels that the other party is deliberately trying to win sympathy.

But Xiao Jinxuan, who is also a woman and a mother in her previous life, believes that Xue Yuyan is definitely revealing her true feelings, not acting, and she is confident that she will not be wrong at this point.

Therefore, no matter how disgusted Xue Yuyan was before this, Xiao Jinxuan was hostile to all the Xue family members like Zhou Xianrui.

But the Buddha's words have never had clouds, put down the butcher's knife, and become a Buddha on the ground.

Therefore, when Xue Yuyan was at the last moment of life and death, he was willing to intercede for a child who had little to do with him, without taking care of himself.

Xiao Jinxuan also made up her mind at that moment, let go of the past grievances between each other, she must rescue Xue Yuyan today, and protect the other party and the innocent child named Brother Qi safe and sound.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan did not directly answer Zhou Xianrui's inquiry, but looked back at Xue Yuyan, who was full of astonishment, and then she said with a soft smile:

"It's very surprising Xue Yuyan, in fact, I didn't expect that one day I would stand out for you. It's just that your words touched me, in fact, you are not a chess piece in the hands of Empress Xue. Even if you are the other party's biological niece, you are still deeply persecuted. Although the Xue family is indeed hateful, you have been married into the Rui Wangfu for many years, and now you have been in the harem, so you can be regarded as not participating in the evil. Therefore I think you have been, but you have not sinned unto death. ”

Xiao Jinxuan said this to Xue Yuyan, but she didn't say it to Zhou Xianrui.

And then when Xiao Jinxuan didn't pay attention to Xue Yuyan after listening to her words, she showed a grateful look, which would have raised her head and looked at Zhou Xianrui again, and couldn't help but plead and say:

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xue is a palace concubine after all, and since she married into the royal family, she is not counted among the ten clans of the Xue family. And after all, the other party has served by your side for many years, and now he has been tragically victimized by Empress Xue and suffered the pain of losing his daughter. Now that she has woken up, why don't Your Majesty open the net. After all, she is also your concubine, so why should the emperor really kill them all. ”

Xiao Jinxuan's words have always been extremely important in Zhou Xianrui's heart, so he will be persuaded by the other party.

Thinking of this, although Xue Yuyan has always called him disliked, after all, a husband and wife for a hundred days, killing their own women with their own hands, this kind of thing is definitely not something that Zhou Xianrui likes to do.

But after weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Xianrui, who still felt that executing Xue Yuyan was the safest, couldn't help frowning and said:

"Jinxuan is definitely not sure to kill Concubine Xue, but the secrets in the palace must not be passed on, you should also understand my hardships, and this baby boy is a descendant of the Xue family, why do you bother to intercede for them."

Xiao Jinxuan's temperament is to recognize one thing, and she has never changed her mind at will.

Therefore, even if Zhou Xianrui is still unwilling to compromise and be gracious, she still does not give up and continues to intercede:

"What His Royal Highness said is not wrong, but as long as you are willing to open a grace, then about the matter of Concubine Xue giving birth to a freak in the palace, Jinxuan is willing to guarantee that this matter will be handled properly. After all, we can still burn down the dormitory, and when the time comes, a golden cicada will come out of its shell, only to make everyone think that Concubine Xue and the baby will die in it immediately. In private, Jinxuan would arrange for Xue Yuyan to leave the palace immediately with the baby boy, send them to a place far away from the capital teacher, and live incognito. In this way, the scandal in the palace will not be publicized, and your kindness can leave a way for the pillow person for many years, and let Brother Qi, an innocent child who doesn't know anything, live. Your Majesty, since you can rule the world with benevolence, why do you suffer for a woman and a child, according to Jinxuan, let them live. ”

Zhou Xianrui has been upright all his life, although he is more serious on weekdays, and he has never been merciful to his political enemies.

However, it can be seen from his concern for the people in the disaster area and his concern for the country and the people that in fact, Zhou Xianrui is pretending to be benevolent and loving in his heart, and he is by no means a person who is thirsty for killing.

Therefore, thinking of the relationship with Xue Yuyan for several years, and Xiao Jinxuan's words are also very reasonable.

Immediately, Zhou Xianrui's heart was also shaken, and then after thinking silently for a long time, he made a final decision:

"Since Jinxuan has interceded and promised me that I will clean up everything afterwards, then I have nothing to worry about. Empress Xue was deposed, the Prime Minister was about to raid the house to ask for the guilt, and I still had a lot of things to do in the previous dynasty, so I left first. As for Xue Yuyan's side, I will leave the other party to you to deal with. After all, what you said is not unreasonable, and I am willing to respect your suggestion in this matter. ”

As soon as she heard Zhou Xianrui's words, Xiao Jinxuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and immediately thanked her with gratitude.

After Zhou Xianrui was sent away by Xiao Jinxuan, he saw Xue Yuyan sitting on the ground and couldn't help but smile sadly, and then murmured with emotion:

"After marrying into the palace for so many years, I only think that the prince doesn't like women, except for being able to respect Shen Wenqing a little, I haven't seen him being considerate to that woman. But now I know that His Majesty is not only concentrating on political affairs, but it is just that we women are difficult to get into his eyes. Xiao Jinxuan used to be really jealous of you, thinking that your appearance was not comparable to me, and the identity of the concubine could not be compared with me. But I didn't expect that the last person to intercede for me would be you, and your mind and bearing are incomparable to me, maybe this is why Your Majesty values you. ”

Regarding Xue Yuyan's words, Xiao Jinxuan could hear that the other party's words were without the previous arrogance and hostility.

But saving the other party does not mean that she is willing to befriend Xue Yuyan, so I saw Xiao Jinxuan say with a hint of coldness in her voice:

"If you can stand up, put on a cloak and carry your dead child and leave with me, after all, I will order Su Qi to set your dormitory on fire and turn it to ashes. And Xue Yuyan, you heard clearly, I, Xiao Jinxuan, saved you just because I was quite touched for a while, but this does not mean that the grievances between us are clear, and until now I still don't want to have too much friendship with you. Therefore, I will prepare a coffin for your tragic child, and ask someone to bury her secretly. And you and Brother Qi, this child, when I finish dealing with Empress Xue's affairs, I will send you out of the palace immediately. During this time, I will leave you in the Zhaoyang Palace, and it is best for you not to cause me any trouble, and it is best not to have thoughts that should not arise. Otherwise, once you behave differently, I, Xiao Jinxuan, can also kill you if I can save you, I hope you can keep my words in mind, and don't commit my taboos. ”

Now Xue Yuyan, her mother's family has collapsed, and she has no one to rely on.

In addition, Shicai almost died under Zhou Xianrui's sword, which also made her clearly realize that even if Xiao Jinxuan had an indifferent attitude, the other party was someone who was really willing to help her.

Therefore, Xue Yuyan, who just wants to survive well and take Brother Qi, the child out of the palace safely, couldn't help but nodded, without saying a word, and immediately said that she had written down Xiao Jinxuan's words.

After Xiao Jinxuan helped the weak Xue Yuyan out of the dormitory, she hugged Brother Qi in Su Qi's hand into her arms, and then said:

"Su Qi, after you stay in charge, not only will the dormitory be burned down, but you must also remember to find the corpse of a palace maid who was killed when Fengxiang Palace resisted our invasion just now, and throw it in and burn it to disguise it as Xue Yuyan's body. As for me, I'll lead them back to Zhaoyang Palace first, after all, I don't know how the matter of Baizhu is going there. And can the other party cherish the opportunity I gave her and repent at the last moment. I really hope that when I go back, I won't be able to see Baizhu's figure, after all, this proves that the other party has been sent out of the palace safely. And if not, then I am afraid that I will have to make a decision tonight with her master-servant relationship. ”
