Chapter 695: Jasper Visits
Guo Yi doesn't look at the current official road and is in the sixth Shangshu, but in the final analysis, even though he has the talent to govern the country, more often than not, he often plays the role of a strategist.
Therefore, compared to Zhou Xianyu, for the sake of Xiao Jinxuan, he would rather kill Qingsui, which is not good for himself, and it is difficult to tolerate the other party to stay in his mansion.
But Guo Yi must remain calm, just like a person playing chess, carefully analyzing the pros and cons of the whole chess game, and then choosing the most favorable landing point.
Therefore, Guo Yi is not cold-blooded and ruthless, he can risk his life, and he can't even take care of his wife and children, and rush to the new moon phase with Zhou Xianyu to save Xiao Jinxuan.
In fact, it is not difficult to see that he is a loyal and righteous person.
It's just that a scheming person can't be swayed by his personal emotions, and everything he looks at has to look at the overall situation.
And after listening to Guo Yi's words, there will be other eyeliner infiltrating when he gets rid of Qingsui, Zhou Xianyu couldn't help but be silent, because he knew that what the other party said was indeed not unreasonable.
Immediately, Zhou Xianyu told Guo Yi that he would think carefully and after making a decision, he signaled that the other party could leave. He wanted to be alone.
When Zhou Xianyu was left alone in the study, he couldn't help but hold Xiao Jinxuan's spirit card in his hand again, although his expression was cold, he said very solemnly:
"What Jinxuan promised you, and the promise I made to you, I Zhou Xianyu, have never forgotten. Now that I'm taking the elixir, I don't have to worry about dying violently because of the bloody qi. I will fulfill the entrustment in your letter, get rid of Chen Hou's party, assist Xianchen in his pro-government, and then I will go down to accompany you. It's just that I'm cold now, I don't know if you will dislike it. Even though I still know that I miss you, I can't feel uncomfortable in my heart, and I can't cry if I want to, and I have completely become a monster without seven emotions and six desires. But believe that I haven't forgotten you, and I won't. ”
When Zhou Xianyu said this, he consciously wanted to show a wry smile.
But this thought only flashed through his mind, but his face was still cold, and no expression appeared.
And this strange feeling that I can't express in my heart is actually extremely uncomfortable.
Zhou Xianyu took a deep breath and after reining in all the feelings of depression, he stroked the tablet and said again:
"You also heard what Guo Yi said just now, I really can't touch this Qingsui now. But a fine work, this king had no intention of her, and now after taking the Iron and Stone Heart Pill, he will not break the connection with her. Therefore, Jinxuan hopes that you don't care, it's just a show, for the sake of the current situation. The one who knows me best in this world is you, I hope you can understand that I can't help myself, and give me some time. When the dust settles, I'll be able to go to you. ”
Although the expression on Zhou Xianyu's face was cold, he gently touched the tablet engraved with Xiao Jinxuan's name with his eyes slightly closed and his cheek.
A sense of loneliness suddenly arose from all around him, and in an instant it seemed that the entire bright study had become dim.
And Zhou Xianyu, who didn't know that Xiao Jinxuan was still alive and was still as Princess Changde, left from under his nose.
How did he know that Xiao Jinxuan, who was being missed by him, was in the Beirong Guanju Courtyard, and he was worried about him with extremely melancholy thoughts.
Although they are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, both of them take out the tokens they sent each other in the past when they have free time, and they see things and think about people.
Sometimes one is just a few hours, and you don't even know that it's getting late.
If it weren't for Ziying coming in to hold the lamp and telling Xiao Jinxuan that it was time to eat, she might still be sitting in the darkened room, holding a carefree hairpin in a silent daze.
And Xiao Jinxuan was only halfway through the dinner here, and suddenly stayed outside the Guan Ju Courtyard, and Tang Qi, who is now in charge of her safety, came to tell her, saying that Yao Biyu was visiting with her two daughters.
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan naturally hurriedly asked Ziying to greet her in person, and waited until she saw that Yao Biyu really led two little girls who were five or six years old and carved in pink.
Xiao Jinxuan, who also likes children very much, couldn't help but stand up, and immediately said with a gentle smile:
"It's hard to walk on the snowy road at night, why did Concubine Yao come over with the two little county lords, sit down and keep warm. Brother Wang didn't say that he was going to rest at the side concubine Niangniang tonight, Niangniang should be by his brother's side. ”
Putting the food box in her hand on the table, Yao Biyu first carefully picked up her two daughters and put them on a soft chair next to the charcoal basin and sat down.
Then he looked at Xiao Jinxuan gratefully and bowed.
"The third prince originally went to my place, but later the palace made an urgent announcement, and His Royal Highness left first. Jasper, I thank you for your kindness in relieving the siege during the day today. So I specially prepared some snacks and tea, and came to share it with Her Royal Highness the Princess. And how old is my eldest princess, we live under the same roof with each other, and it is really troublesome to always use honorifics. If the princess doesn't give up, she will call this concubine a sister, and I will only call you Sister Changde. After all, my sister is close to His Royal Highness, and I am the side concubine of the third prince, so I should also get closer to the princess and have more contact with each other. ”
Hearing Yao Biyu's words, Xiao Jinxuan looked at the plate of exquisite dim sum that the other party took out of the food box, and immediately couldn't help but smile.
Xiao Jinxuan has always liked to deal with smart people, because they know each other tacitly, and it saves a lot of time and effort to do things.
This morning, she pleaded for goodwill and handed it over, and now Yao Biyu came to understand it, and obviously wanted to join forces.
Immediately, Xiao Jinxuan glanced at the other party with satisfaction, and even picked up a piece of hibiscus cake casually, tasted it and said:
"The side concubine is willing to be commensurate with my sister, this is Changde's honor, how could I sweep away Sister Biyu's kindness. As for today's intercession, it is just a gesture of effort. In fact, if it weren't for the concubine Niangniang, all the fault would be put on you, with Sister Biyu's mental means, why do you need your sister to help. ”
Hearing this, Yao Biyu chuckled silently, and after a while, she looked at the dazzling snacks in front of her and said:
Sister Changde laughed, where does my sister have any means, but as a concubine, if she wants to survive in the deep mansion of the Hou Mansion, sometimes she does have to use some scheming. On the contrary, it is the younger sister who is admirable, a few days ago, Zheng Fandai brought poisoned snacks, and Changde not only saw through it at a glance. Now it is not affected in the slightest, and I can enjoy the pastries I brought with confidence. Isn't my sister afraid that I will put unclean things in it, after all, my sister-in-law wants to get rid of Changde's thoughts, and my sister should feel it herself. ”
Xiao Jinxuan, who had eaten a whole piece of hibiscus cake, had already walked up to the two female dolls, teased the children, and replied with a chuckle:
"If Sister Biyu wants to harm me, she must not want this ugly side to be seen by her own daughter. This is the pure side of motherhood, so there will be no problem with dim sum. And I don't believe in the stupid method that Zheng Fandai has used, you will still use it again, concubine. Let's not talk darkly, Yao Nianwan wants to get rid of my heart, and this princess has indeed noticed it. Therefore, Sister Biyu came, whether you are willing to join forces with me, I hope you still give a happy word. Let's not be wary of each other, and it will save time by getting straight to the point. ”
looked at Xiao Jinxuan laughing and playing with the two children, but she said such decisive and powerful words in her mouth.
The contrast between this expression and words was so great that Yao Biyu, who had always been complacent with her strategy, suddenly felt a little incomprehensible to the other party, and there was no reason for her heart to be afraid.
Yao Biyu did want to join forces with Xiao Jinxuan this time, but before she came, she felt that the other party was sixteen or seventeen years old, and she must be in the leading position in everything.
And Yao Biyu thought very well, when she got rid of her sister Yao Nianwan, and finally didn't have to help this useless fool, after carrying the black pot for the other party, she would free up her hands to get rid of Xiao Jinxuan.
But in private, after really contacting Xiao Jinxuan alone, Yao Biyu had a feeling that she was dealing with a cunning fox.
Xiao Jinxuan's strength and judgment to perceive everything made her frightened at the same time, and she also put away her contempt and use.
After being silent for a while, Yao Biyu finally put Xiao Jinxuan in a position that could not be taken lightly, and said with a serious expression:
"Sister Changde is quick to talk, and the concubine won't beat around the bush. You're right, I really don't want to be pressed on my head by Yao Nianwan. Over the years since I married into the Three Princes' Mansion, I have conscientiously planned for the other party's position as the concubine and helped this sister eliminate all potential threats. But when there was a slight danger, she pushed me to the front like this to block the crime, and I was really chilled. And my sister may not know that my good sister also said that if I give birth to a son, I will pass to her knees. Even if I was bullied, she actually hit my idea on Lin'er, who may be born in the future, it's really damned! ”
Xiao Jinxuan was also a mother in her previous life, so as a mother, she can understand the feeling that she can do anything for her children.
Obviously, Yao Nianwan's aggressiveness, and even hitting the idea on the child, completely angered Yao Biyu.
After confiding all the resentment buried deep in her heart, Yao Biyu's hideous expression eased a lot, and said with an apologetic wry smile:
"Call Sister Changde, you see the joke, my sister is really bitter in her heart, and I feel more comfortable when I say it today. In fact, I have long known that the third prince is afraid of me to stabilize the Hou Mansion. I, Yao Biyu, can join forces with you, but my sister must give me a guarantee that no matter what happens to the Yao family in the Hou Mansion afterwards, my children will not be affected. I am here today with my two young daughters, and I also want to tell my sister that my children are still young and they are innocent, and I am willing to fight for their future. As long as the child can be well, it doesn't matter how big my sacrifice is. ”
Yao Biyu may not be a good person, she is scheming to help Yao Nianwan, and she has not taken the lives of others.
But Xiao Jinxuan herself is not a good man and a woman, and she knows very well that if the woman in this back house does not fight or fight, she is likely to die next.
Especially Yao Biyu's words about being desperate for the sake of her children, and would rather sacrifice than do so, still moved her very much.
So I saw Xiao Jinxuan patting the back of the other party's hand comfortingly, and then said very solemnly:
"Sister Biyu, please rest assured, I Changde can promise you on behalf of Brother Wang, no matter what happens to the Yao family of the Hou Mansion in the future, as long as you are willing to stand on our side sincerely, the **** of my brother's enthronement will allow you to be a concubine. And your two daughters are even cute, my sister doesn't abandon me and I am willing to accept them as righteous daughters, so you and I can be considered kissed, now my sister should rest assured. ”
