Chapter 459: Farewell to the Expedition

Xiao Jinxuan was personally given by Emperor Ming and married her to Zhou Xianrui, so she is the concubine of the Rui Palace, which cannot be changed.

Therefore, as soon as she saw that everyone's eyes were focused, Xiao Jinxuan instinctively wanted to let go of Zhou Xianyu's hand, but the other party grabbed her to death, and she couldn't break free.

In desperation, seeing that Concubine Deliang and the others also looked at them with complicated expressions, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but lower her voice and said:

"Xianyu, let go of me quickly, don't forget that our identities are not suitable for standing together like this now, and you shouldn't force me to appear in front of everyone together. After all, I am the side concubine of the Rui Wangfu, and you will damage your reputation by doing this. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Xianyu grabbed Xiao Jinxuan and didn't give her any chance to escape.

On the other hand, he walked forward with the other party, and said very seriously:

"Jinxuan, you and the fifth brother are just a drama, and your next marriage to him is just to help the brother stabilize the situation. Now I, Zhou Xianyu, can also help the fifth brother do all this, so when he ascends the throne, he will naturally give you a correct name and return your freedom. Anyway, I don't care much about those false names, and as soon as the matter of Jingshi is over, you and I will travel around the world. You are my woman, from this moment on, I want you to be with me openly, no need to hide and avoid anything, who has any dissatisfaction, come to me. ”

And as if to verify Zhou Xianyu's words, it was almost him and Xiao Jinxuan who walked in front of King Yongchang and others.

Concubine Liang immediately glanced at them with a bad look, and then stepped forward to separate the hands held by the two of them.

Seeing that he had tried a few times, Zhou Xianyu either took Xiao Jinxuan's hand to avoid it, or was not moved at all.

Immediately, Concubine Liang's face couldn't help but sink, and her voice was even more dissatisfied, and she reprimanded in a low voice:

"Xianyu is about to lead the army to the battle, how can you be so indiscriminate. Jinxuan, that's your fifth brother's side concubine, what kind of system is this kind of pulling and pulling between your brothers and sisters-in-law, do you ignore the royal face in front of these 20,000 soldiers? ”

It can be seen that Concubine Liang is annoyed, but Zhou Xianyu has indeed always been filial to this adoptive mother, but he has always had his own opinions, and it is easy for anyone to say anything to sway him.

Therefore, after seeing Zhou Xianyu showing a comforting smile to Xiao Jinxuan, who was a little uneasy, he then said to Concubine Liang:

"Mother, please don't say this, it will scare Xuan'er. The reason why she and the fifth brother got married was because she wanted to use the deterrent power of the Xiao family to stabilize her brother's position, so that the fifth brother would have the capital to compete with the Xue family. But this big wedding is an expedient measure, everything is just acting. Jinxuan has sacrificed so much for the Great Zhou, for the imperial court, and even for our royal family. Could it be that now that I, Zhou Xianyu, have returned, I still have to watch my woman suffer this grievance. I will clear the rebellion, and I will also assist him in ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, what Jinxuan has been doing before is now carried by me for her. And the only hope for the child is that the mother will not interfere in the affairs between us. Xianyu can do anything according to you, but Jinxuan and I will not let her suffer any grievances. ”

After hearing these words, Concubine Liang, who was really annoyed and unacceptable, couldn't help but show a trace of pity and guilt in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Jinxuan, who was silently on the side.

After all, Concubine Liang also knew in her heart that if it weren't for Xiao Jinxuan's consideration of the overall situation, she pretended to marry Zhou Xianrui and become a side concubine, and used the prestige of the Xiao family in the Shuai Mansion to deter the Xue family for a long time.

Whether her eldest son can survive until now is an unknown number of words.

So Concubine Liang actually thanked Xiao Jinxuan in her heart and remembered her good.

is just a woman, but at the same time, her two sons may have their reputation damaged and be scolded by the world, which is the most unacceptable thing about Concubine Liang.

And the king of Yongchang on the side was also a witness who knew the truth at the beginning.

And because Xiao Jinxuan is his righteous daughter, he knows everything very well how the other party went through hardships before to become the quasi-princess of Zhou Xian.

This old prince himself is also an idiot, and his wife has been dead for many years. But he is a concubine, and his two sons who raised each other grow up, which is among the royal princes, King Yongchang is indeed worthy of the word dedication.

Therefore, it can be seen that Zhou Xianyu and Xiao Jinxuan are now behaving intimately, and they came out of the tent at the same time, so he expected that these two must be husband and wife.

But instead of being annoyed, the old prince smiled and whispered to persuade Concubine Liang and said:

"I said, Niangniang, the children and grandchildren here have their own children and grandchildren, and the situation of my goddaughter is indeed quite special. And even if she and Xianrui have the name of husband and wife, can you bear to let Jinxuan be trapped in the palace for the rest of her life, but she can't stay with Xianyu? This child's life is hard enough, and he has paid a lot for our royal family. These matters between the juniors are to be handled by themselves, and now that the expedition is imminent, if you, the mother concubine, quarrel with your son, it will really disturb the morale of the 20,000 soldiers. ”

And almost as soon as King Yongchang's words were finished, Xiangping, who had a true and pure personality, was very happy to see that Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu were willing to come to the bitterness.

Therefore, I saw that she immediately grabbed Concubine Liang's wrist, and then shook the other party coquettishly, and said in a protective voice:

"Mother, what the imperial uncle said is right, isn't it too ungrateful for Jinxuan to trap others for the rest of our lives after Jinxuan helped the fifth brother a lot. And Jinxuan and Seventh Brother are a pair of beautiful people, if you are beating mandarin ducks with a stick, don't say that your daughter will not be used to it, I'm afraid you will also hurt Seventh Brother's heart. ”

The good concubine, who was a little shaken by the words of King Yongchang, will disappear after hearing Xiangping's words.

Especially Xiangping's words that may have hurt Zhou Xianyu's heart, it made Concubine Liang wake up suddenly, the situation is not stable, and the only thing she can rely on is this son's military power.

If this will break up with Zhou Xianyu, Concubine Liang knows that it is not a wise move.

If they are not harmonious on their side, won't they give those rebellious people in Jingshi a chance to take advantage of?

Therefore, in the end, Concubine Liang could be regarded as smiling, and encouraged Zhou Xianyu a few words, and the embarrassing and tense atmosphere of Shicai finally disappeared.

After saying goodbye to King Yongchang and others, Zhou Xianyu, as the main general, ascended to the general platform for the final morale boost.

As for Xiao Jinxuan on the side, she naturally couldn't follow the other party's side, and just when she looked at the heroic figure of Zhou Xianyu on the stage with a light smile.

Suddenly, Xiangping beside her pushed her vaguely, and when Xiao Jinxuan turned her head to look over, the other party whispered in her ear:

"Jinxuan, is it okay for you to accompany me on a trip, Brother Mo's injuries have not healed, but he also has to follow Brother Qi to suppress the rebellion. The concubine didn't even allow me to see the other party off, so you helped me under the guise of giving me a chance to get out. ”

In fact, Xiao Jinxuan also does not advocate Xiangping and Mo Linzhi, the two of them, who have no chance at all, continue to break the thread.

However, this time, the Xue clan has about twice as many troops as Zhou Xianyu, and whether Mo Linzhi can live safely is unknown.

Xiao Jinxuan, who was also worried about Zhou Xianyu's safety, empathized, and she also understood Xiangping's anxiety.

Therefore, after refusing to say it, Xiao Jinxuan nodded and agreed.

And when the two of them found an excuse, it could be regarded as bypassing Concubine Liang.

Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but leave Bai Chu, who was in charge of her safety and would not go out with the army. and instructed the other party to take advantage of the fact that the army did not move, and quickly called Mo Linzhi over.

Mo Linzhi himself had no official position in the Beijing military camp, and he also invited him to accompany him on this expedition, so he had no important position, and he was quickly led over by Bai Chu.

And I saw that the armor and helmet were all fully armed and wore Mo Linzhi.

After Cai and Bai Chu entered the tent, as soon as he saw that Xiangping was also inside, his first reaction was to immediately turn around and leave.

But Xiangping, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, would ask Mo Linzhi to leave like this, so when he saw her immediately step forward, he grabbed the other party's wrist.

"Brother Mo, this counterinsurgency is extremely dangerous, can you promise Xiang'er not to go. Why do you have to avoid me when you see me, can't we be together now, even if we talk face-to-face? Xiang'er can't remember the way you laughed, Brother Mo, don't be like this anymore, I said a long time ago, I won't care no matter what you become. ”

His wrist was tightly grasped by Xiangping, and Mo Linzhi really wanted to leave immediately.

But he was afraid that he would forcibly break free and hurt the other party, so he could only stand in place for a while and respond to Xiangping's deep love with silence.

Seeing this scene, as well as Xiangping's appearance of crying into tears, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but stand up and came to the front in a few steps.

She first wiped her tears with a brocade for Xiangping, and then walked in front of Mo Linzhi and stared at the other party for a long time.

Although Xiao Jinxuan and Mo Linzhi had a few words of conversation in the carriage last time in the carriage, this was the first time she had seen each other with her own eyes.

It's just that because Mo Linzhi is wearing a helmet this time, Xiao Jinxuan still didn't see her appearance except for seeing a pair of eyes from the other party.

But somehow, the other party's eyes made Xiao Jinxuan feel extremely familiar, and a feeling of annoyance popped up uncontrollably in her heart.

So Xiao Jinxuan, who originally wanted to persuade Mo Linzhi and Xiangping to have a few words, couldn't help frowning slightly, and then said in a cold voice:

"Mo Linzhi, I think Xiangping's heart for you must be clear to you. You're about to go to counter-insurgency, and life and death are unpredictable, so now you have to talk about it. Although I know that your deliberate estrangement is for the sake of peace, don't leave any regrets for each other. I'll go out first, and you'd better be quicker if you want to say anything, and when the army starts, there's really no chance. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Jinxuan smiled comfortingly at Xiangping.

Then she couldn't help but look at Mo Linzhi's eyes again, and forcibly suppressed the dislike in her heart that she couldn't say.

Xiao Jinxuan didn't say anything after all, but walked out of the tent, leaving Xiangping and the two of them the last chance to be alone.
