The first snow of the first year of Emperor Qi was after all in November, when the weather was completely cold, and it swirled down from the sky. 13579246810

Originally, Xiao Jinxuan, who was physically stable, usually nested in the dormitory to avoid the cold, but now her palace door is not only open.

And she was also standing in front of the door of the dormitory, wrapped in the white coat that Zhou Xianchen left behind when he came last time.

With a smile on his lips, he looked at Zhou Xue and Zhou Yi, the two children who were playing in the snow outside the dormitory.

Since this Zhaoyang Palace was imprisoned, all the people in the palace have been dismissed, and only Xin and the others she brought from outside the palace have been stayed.

Because Zhou Yi's child is not of royal blood, Zhou Xue was picked up by Empress Chen.

This child was left alone by Xiao Jinxuan's side, and he has suffered a lot for several months.

And Zhou Xue, who was forcibly taken away, missed Jinxuan too much these days, and Zhou Yi, the little brother, so she stubbornly went on a hunger strike for two days in a row.

Empress Chen, who felt sorry for her granddaughter, had no choice but to allow the other party to come to Zhaoyang Palace, so the sisters and brothers who got together again had fun in the snow, and they were very happy to play.

And in Xiao Jinxuan's heart, although these two children are not half related to her, they have been by her side for so long.

Coupled with the tragic death of her young son in her previous life, she really regarded these two children as her own.

Therefore, it is rare to get together, Xiao Jinxuan is even willing to endure the cold, and she has to stand outside and watch them play with a smile.

Maybe it's because Xiao Jinxuan gave these two children the care of a biological mother.

So even if her concubine position was withdrawn, Zhou Yi and Zhou Xue were still respectful and filial to her, and did not dislike and despise her for half a point.

Just when he was enjoying himself in Zhaoyang Palace, he suddenly saw a team of forbidden troops rushing in without warning.

Although Zhou Yi grew up faster and stronger than children of the same age, he was only one and a half years old, and he was immediately scared to cry.

Seeing this, Zhou Xue on the side immediately showed a distressed expression, although she was only eight years old.

But she still looked like a sister, and directly protected Xiao Zhou Yi behind her, and then deliberately pretended to be very fierce, but her voice couldn't help but tremble slightly and asked:

"You are presumptuous, my mother is also here for you to trespass. If you disturb your mother or your younger brother, this princess will definitely tell her father and let him punish you heavily. ”

The words of an eight-year-old child, even if Zhou Xue was indeed a royal princess, those forbidden soldiers did not move at all, and obviously did not take her words to heart.

And just when Zhou Xue wanted to drive away these people as much as possible and protect Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Yi.

Suddenly, I could hear Xiangping's coquettish smile and charming voice, which came from far and near.

And before Xiangping came to the main hall, he couldn't help but order the palace maid next to him to forcibly pull Zhou Xue in front of her.

Zhou Xue is Xiangping's niece, but the children were scared to cry, but Xiangping pinched the other party's little face, and said with a cruel smile without family affection:

"You kid really don't recognize your six relatives, then Xiao Jinxuan wants to kill your father, but you still recognize the other party as your mother's concubine, I am really disappointed in you. The queen mother is used to you, in exchange for this princess, you will starve to death on a hunger strike, and I will never let you step into Zhaoyang Palace for half a step. Now hurry up and leave me, or don't say that the imperial aunt will punish you. ”

Xiangping hated Zhou Xianrui in his heart, so the other party's child, even if she was Zhou Xue's aunt, she still didn't like it.

And Zhou Xue was still young, although she tried her best to resist, she was still forcibly pulled out of the palace by two palace maids.

Seeing that he couldn't resist, he was frightened a lot, and at the same time he was extremely angry.

The tears fell aggrievedly, and he shouted loudly to refute:

"Aunt Xiangping, you are a bad person, Xue'er doesn't allow you to slander your mother like this. The mother concubine is the best person in this world, she will not harm her father, you let me go, I don't want to be separated from the mother concubine, this princess orders you to let go. ”

Zhou Xue's biological mother Wu died as early as the rebellion, and Xiao Jinxuan, who had been sheltering her, is now losing power and unable to protect herself.

Therefore, although Zhou Xue is a princess, she is just a concubine.

Therefore, her words couldn't deter others at all, and Xiangping's current status was in full swing, so who would care about the protests of her eight-year-old child.

Just when Xiangping watched Zhou Xue's pitiful appearance with tears streaming down her eyes and being forcibly dragged out.

didn't notice that Xiao Zhouyi quietly ran to her side, and when the child opened his mouth and bit her wrist, Xiangping screamed in pain and turned his face around.

"You little wild seed still don't let go, this princess doesn't want to live anymore. Come on, drag this child away for me, you forbidden troops are all dead, it's really useless. ”

Zhou Yi and Zhou Xue had a deep relationship, and they saw this young lady who had not been seen for a long time, and they were dragged away crying and screaming.

The fear in Xiao Zhouyi's heart disappeared, and the ruthlessness that came from his parents' blood couldn't help but be revealed.

Therefore, even if Xiangping slapped and hit him, Xiao Zhou Yi used that pair of small front teeth to bite the other party's wrist, and his eyes were fierce and refused to let go.

And when the guards on the side reacted and rushed forward to push Zhou Yi down in the snow, Xiangping's wrists had been bitten out of two extremely deep tooth marks, and blood flowed out.

has been pampered since she was a child, and recently because of her rising status, she is even more arrogant Xiangping, where has she been angry.

Therefore, in a fit of rage, her crazy temperament was uncontrollable again, and she snatched the saber from the chamberlain next to her and was about to cut it at the young Zhou Yi on the ground.

If Xiangping's knife is allowed to fall, Zhou Yi's child's life will be explained here, and it will be difficult to have a chance to live.

But at this moment, he was about to kill someone.

Seeing that the situation was not right in the morning, Xiao Jinxuan, who rushed over here, held Xiangping's wrist with the knife in advance.

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan dared to stop herself, the sarcasm flashed in Xiangping's eyes.

There was no need to pretend to be a sisterly with the other party, so she immediately revealed her true form, and said with an extremely arrogant smile:

"Xiao Jinxuan, do you think you are worthy of stopping this princess now, you are already a waste concubine who has lost her power. The power-leaning harem, and even the concubine Xiao who shook the government and the opposition, no longer exists. And I might as well be kind enough to tell you one thing, your grandfather Xiao Sanjiang, uncle Xiao Ting, and father Xiao Heng. Yesterday it was reported that the eight hundred miles ahead of the urgent public, they died of dysentery because of the water and soil on the march, and now the coffin has been sent back to Beijing. ”

Xiangping's words were not to anger Xiao Jinxuan, so he made it up randomly.

But it is true, the Shuai Mansion is now hanging in the white silk, and there is a sound of mourning.

This will Xiangping tell this matter, naturally he wants to see Xiao Jinxuan's desperate expression, after all, she feels happy when the other party is in pain, and she is even more relieved.

On the other hand, Xiao Jinxuan now, because she is claustrophobic in Zhaoyang Palace, almost all the news is blocked.

So shocked to hear the great changes in the Xiao family, she went to see Xiangping's expression repeatedly, after making sure that the other party was not lying.

Her face couldn't help but turn pale, and she couldn't stand the blow and staggered back a few steps before she could stand up again.

This will be Xiangping's playful laughter, and the indifferent eyes of the guards around him, Xiao Jinxuan can't care about it at all.

She was only in a state of shock and grief, and she could not recover for a long time.

Thinking that when her life experience was exposed, the people in the Shuai Mansion gave her shelter and support.

And Xiao Jinxuan didn't expect that the meeting that day would become a farewell to each other.

Especially for Xiao Heng's father, she has a lot of respect and wants to be filial to the other party in the future, but now everything no longer exists.

As for the statement that she was not accustomed to water and soil, contracted dysentery and died violently, Xiao Jinxuan did not believe it at all.

After all, Xiao Sanjiang's father and son have been fighting horses all their lives, and they have never been embarrassed in a harsh environment, but now they are in the territory of the Great Zhou, and there is an accident on the way back to the border with the troops, and the strangeness in this cannot withstand scrutiny at all.

And Xiao Jinxuan knew in her heart that since her Beirong royal family's life experience could be passed on, the fact that the Shuai Mansion originally came from Beirong may not be an impermeable secret.

In addition, the Xiao family and the Beirong royal family still have private correspondence, Xiao Jinxuan feels that these points alone.

If she was the monarch of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it would definitely be difficult to tolerate such a courtier with hidden dangers.

The thoughts in her mind were gradually sorted out clearly, even if Xiao Jinxuan was not completely sure, she still felt that behind this matter, the real culprit who killed the Xiao family was probably inseparable from Zhou Xianrui.

Although Xiao Jinxuan lamented the ruthlessness and indifference of the emperor's family, she didn't dare to show her devastated emotions too much.

Because Zhou Yi's child is still waiting for her to maintain and save her, if there is a mess, Xiangping has no scruples.

Xiao Jinxuan knew that this child's life, and today I am afraid that he will really die under the other party's knife.

So after Xiao Jinxuan took a deep breath, she was as calm as ice after a long period of practice, and quickly calmed down her emotions.

Then the corners of her mouth even hooked up a chuckle, and then she said in a brisk tone so that no one could hear a trace of sadness:

"There are so many people in the Shuai Mansion in a row, but why did Her Royal Highness tell me about it. Xiangping, you don't know, I have a long-standing grudge with the Xiao family, and it has nothing to do with me whether they are dead or alive. It's that you can't get along with a child, and the eldest princess who spread the word that she went out to be a dignified Zhou is such a person, I'm afraid you won't have a good face. What's more, no matter how bad Yi'er is, he is also a child recognized by your imperial brother, no matter how much you know about his origin, but in the eyes of everyone, you are his imperial aunt. If you even kill your own nephew, then I'm afraid the Manchu Dynasty will not sit idly by. ”

obviously wanted to see Xiao Jinxuan without a backer, panicked and helpless.

But where did Xiangping think about it, she waited expectantly for a long time, and even waited for the other party to learn a lesson, and immediately her heart was about to be angry.

But it happened that the other party's words were reasonable, and Xiao Jinxuan's calm appearance also made Xiangping a little unable to find out the other party's reality.

Therefore, the knife he was holding fell in a different place.

Seeing this, Xiao Jinxuan hurriedly took the opportunity to ask Xin to hug Zhou Yi down, and when a big stone finally fell to the ground in her heart, she couldn't help but immediately say:

"Xiangping, you and I are sisters in the past after all, don't stand in this ice and snow, if you have anything to talk about, enter the hall to talk."

As soon as Xiao Jinxuan's voice fell, she walked towards the dormitory first, and Xiangping also followed closely behind.

Because after Shen Qing came last time, she saw that the situation in Zhaoyang Palace was worrying, so she used her right to be in charge of the harem to send Xiao Jinxuan a lot of silver charcoal for warmth.

So after entering the warm inner hall, Xiao Jinxuan took off the big hat she was wearing under the service of Zhuxin.

And when Xiao Jinxuan finished busy with her side, and then looked at Xiangping again, she saw that the other party was also taking off the cloak.

It's just that when Xiangping's cloak was gone, the bright yellow phoenix robe fell into Xiao Jinxuan's eyes.

Immediately, her pupils shrank suddenly, and the dream that was difficult for her to explain suddenly seemed to make everything clear at this moment.
