Now Xiao Jinxuan, who has been accompanied by Jin Chuan, hurried back to Forsythia Courtyard, but she didn't know that the old lady had malicious intentions, and she actually wanted to kill her before marriage and forced her to marry Qian Yunhong.

In fact, even if Xiao Jinxuan knew, she wouldn't be able to think of a way to deal with it, because she was now wearing a black cloak on her body, and when her face was covered, she followed behind Jin Chuan and Wen Xin, and walked out of the Forsythia Courtyard quickly.

And she was dressed in this dress, naturally in order to quietly go out of the mansion and go to find King Rui about the injury of Zhou Xianyu, and ask her face to face.

After a long delay in Taining Courtyard, now that it was all dark, Jin Chuan walked in the front, and after a short time led them to the back door of the Shuai Mansion, took out a large set of keys with him, and then opened the back door that had been locked.

"Miss Jinxuan, just go, I will help you in the Shuai Mansion and make sure that no one notices any abnormalities."

How long has the old lady been in charge of the Shuai Mansion, how long has Jin Chuan taken care of the Shuai Mansion, so if she wants to cover for Xiao Jinxuan, it is really difficult for others to find out about the abnormality.

After Xiao Jinxuan thanked her, she lowered her head with a hat and followed Wen Xin out of the Shuai Mansion.

At this back door, Wen Xin arranged the carriage early in the morning, so as soon as the two came out, they got into the carriage directly without a moment's delay, and rushed to Xiangning Xiangrui Wangfu.

Knowing that Xiao Jinxuan was anxious, Wen Xin's car was very fast, so before half a pillar of incense work, they had already arrived at the door of King Rui's mansion.

Xiao Jinxuan didn't even wait for Wen Xin to help, she jumped out of the carriage directly, and then walked towards the vermilion gate of Rui Wangfu.

Wen Xin walked a few steps forward and knocked on the door, because it was just night, so the doorman did not rest, and quickly opened the door of the house.

The doorman glanced at the two of them a few times, and then asked suspiciously: "Who are you, but there is a worship post, my prince has already stipulated that those who do not worship after night are not allowed to trespass." ”

The prince cannot avoid party strife in the court, and the last thing the emperor wants is for these sons to make friends with important ministers in private, which is a threat to the throne itself.

Therefore, not only Zhou Xianrui, but even Prince Tai did not visit at night, for fear of leaving a bad impression in Emperor Ming's heart and attracting the questioning of his father.

Xiao Jinxuan naturally didn't say anything, but she took out a hairpin from her sleeve and handed it to the doorman.

"You give this thing to His Highness, and he will naturally understand it after reading it."

As soon as Xiao Jinxuan finished speaking, Wen Xin beside him handed a piece of ten taels of silver to the doorman with a smile.

"There are many disturbances in late-night visits, please laugh at this little meaning, and I will bother you to run errands."

Isn't there such an old saying, called the prime minister's door in front of the seven-grade official, this knock on the door to hand over the reward money is the rule, otherwise why should people run errands for you.

Sure enough, I saw the doorman who was still reluctant, and as soon as the money arrived, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Wait a minute, I'll send the things over, but whether you see it or not is not a small thing to decide, it depends on the meaning of our prince."

As soon as he finished saying this, the doorman closed the door again, and although Xiao Jinxuan was anxious, she could only continue to stand in front of the door and wait.

After about two quarters of an hour, I saw that the vermilion gate had been reopened, and it was still the doorman just now, but the other party's lukewarm attitude was gone, but nodded at Xiao Jinxuan and said:

"The two of you are invited to come in, it's the little ones who don't know your lord, don't blame the two of you, don't be with the small ones."

As he spoke, the doorman took out the money he had just received again, and was about to return it to Wen Xin with a smiling face.

It's no wonder that this doorman was so polite, because he handed the things into King Rui's study, and the prince ordered the chief butler Yu An to greet him in person, and instructed him to prepare the best tea and snacks and send them to the study immediately.

Seeing that King Rui attaches so much importance to the visitors outside the mansion, the doorman is still unclear in his heart, I am afraid that the identity of the person who comes is not simple.

Therefore, although he liked the silver, he did not dare to ask for it again.

Looking at the silver that was handed back again, Wen Xin smiled, stretched out his hand and pushed it back.

"You're welcome, little brother, I'm afraid there will be more places to trouble you in the future, if you are shirking, you will be outside."

When the doorman heard this, he twisted for a while, and finally accepted it with a smile, and patted his chest and promised Wen Xin that he would be polite if he was useful in the future.

As they spoke, they also crossed the front yard of the palace and walked to the entrance of the back yard, where there was a man in his forties, respectfully marquis.

This man is very tall, his face is ruddy and beardless, his expression is deferential but majestic, he is dressed in a royal blue robe, and he looks very capable of the old city.

As soon as the doorman saw this man, he trotted a few steps forward to greet him, and said cautiously:

"Steward Yu, these two are the distinguished guests of Dengfu, now that you are here, if there is nothing else, the little one will retire first."

Yu An didn't look at the doorman, but just waved his hand, signaling that the other party could go.

Then he looked at Xiao Jinxuan, who was wrapped in a cloak all over his body, and his expression did not show surprise, but bowed down very calmly and said:

"This must be Miss Jinxuan, the prince is waiting for you in the study, please come with me."

After saying this, Yu An didn't say anything more, and turned around directly to lead the way, and they didn't go far before they stopped in front of a candlelit study.

Yu An turned around at this time, bowed again, and said softly: "The prince's study has arrived, Miss Jinxuan, please come in." ”

Xiao Jinxuan thanked her, and then walked towards the study, Wen Xin on the side also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Yu An reaching out.

"Young man, the prince only ordered Miss Jinxuan to go in, so you can stay outside with me and wait."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan turned around and looked at Wen Xin's uneasy gaze, she said with a smile:

"You just wait for me here, this is King Rui's Mansion, I will be fine with His Royal Highness King Rui, don't worry."

After appeasing Wen Xin, Xiao Jinxuan pushed open the door of the study and walked in directly.

As soon as she entered the study, she smelled a smell of Long Yanxiang, but this fragrance was also mixed with a strong mint smell, and then she saw Zhou Xianrui, who was writing in front of the desk.

"The incense used by His Royal Highness is too strong, although the refreshing effect is good, but I am afraid that it is not good for the body to use it for a long time."

Hearing this, Zhou Xianrui didn't look up, and continued to write, but said with a chuckle:

"There are too many things to deal with every day, if this incense is not heavy, it will always be in good spirits when it is busy until late at night, and the fourth lady is naturally not used to it when she first smells it, but this king has been used for many years, and now it is inseparable from this incense."

Xiao Jinxuan had already walked to the bookcase, and then she saw that Zhou Xianrui was writing a letter.

"Your Highness is worried about the country and the people, so you should take care of your health, otherwise if you fall ill, then there will be one less virtuous king in Da Zhou."

After writing the last stroke, Zhou Xianrui picked up the fold, gently dried the handwriting on it, and when everything was done, he looked at Xiao Jinxuan.

"It's because this king is a prince, so he can't just cherish himself, and waste his political achievements and don't want to make progress, to the fourth lady, you don't know what to do when you visit late at night, if you don't see this plum hairpin, this king really can't believe that you are here."

As he spoke, Zhou Xianrui picked up the hairpin next to the table, and he may not be able to distinguish anything else, but Xiao Jinxuan's personal token, but this Chinese New Year's Eve gift he gave to the other party when he was in Yangzhou, Zhou Xianrui still won't forget.

I think that in order to rush before Chinese New Year's Eve, he gave this hairpin to Xiao Jinxuan, but it really took a lot of effort, but what made him feel pity was that he thought that the other party liked plum blossoms, but did not want him to send this hairpin, Xiao Jinxuan never wore it once, and now it has become a souvenir and has returned to his hand again.

Seeing that Zhou Xianrui's business in his hands had been completed, Xiao Jinxuan's patience was not much left, so he immediately frowned, and reached out and handed the secret letter with the king's serious injury to the table.

"Your Highness, Jinxuan is here for it today, what is Zhou Xianyu's injury, but his life is in danger. In June, I entrusted His Highness to help me deliver a letter to him, but now that two months have passed, there has been no reply, and I have long felt a little strange, but I did not expect that something happened to him. ”

Looking at the panic in Xiao Jinxuan's eyes, Zhou Xianrui lowered his head and smiled lightly.

"It seems that the fourth lady is really confused, you actually call my seventh brother's name, and sure enough, you also have him in your heart."

As he spoke, Zhou Xianrui opened the drawer under the desk, then took out a letter stained with a few drops of blood from it and handed it to Xiao Jinxuan silently.

"Actually, this letter was delivered half a month ago, but the person who delivered the letter said that the seventh brother's serious injury on the battlefield came suddenly, and these letters to be sent back were found in his arms when he was later treated and helped him take off his armor, so it was stained with blood."

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan couldn't wait to open the letter, Zhou Xianrui looked at her face, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes, but he still continued calmly:

"When I see that this letter is stained with blood, I am afraid that you will be cranky when you see it, but if I suppress this letter from thousands of miles and do not give it to you, I will feel that it is really inappropriate. Therefore, I first wrote a secret letter to inform you of the serious injury of the seventh brother, and when you were prepared and knew that he was not worried about his life, I was ready to transfer the letter to you through the partridge, but I didn't want you to come to my house too long. ”

Xiao Jinxuan didn't hear what Zhou Xianrui was saying at all, all her thoughts had been deeply pulled by the thick dozen pages of letterhead in her hand.

On the letter is Zhou Xianyu's familiar pen style, like flowing clouds, indescribably free and easy.

And between the lines of the letter, Xiao Jinxuan can understand that the other party must have been very happy when she wrote this letter.

In the letter, Zhou Xianyu told her a lot of interesting things, but the most said sentence was to thank Xiao Jinxuan for being willing to ignore him and write to him.

As if he was afraid that this kind of treatment would disappear suddenly, Zhou Xianyu's tone in the letter was very pitiful, and he begged Xiao Jinxuan to reply to him after receiving his letter, even if only a few words were written in the letter, he would be satisfied.

At the end of the letter, Zhou Xianyu asked her about her current situation, and asked Xiao Jinxuan to protect herself, if the Qian family dared to embarrass her, she could endure it first, and when his class returned to Beijing, he would directly lead the army to destroy Na Huai'anhou, and then give her anger.

Zhou Xianyu, as always, spoke in a frivolous and unobtrusive manner, but Xiao Jinxuan's heart warmed when she saw it, and tears flowed down instantly.

Stroking the little blood stains on the letter with her hand, Xiao Jinxuan knew that it was all Zhou Xianyu's blood, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her heart hurt to death and it was difficult to breathe.

Zhou Xianrui, who was originally calm, didn't expect Xiao Jinxuan to cry, after all, in his impression, he had never seen a woman stronger than the other party.

Some hurriedly took out their own towels, and Zhou Xianrui handed it to Xiao Jinxuan with a distressed face.

But looking at the handkerchief handed to her, Xiao Jinxuan sobbed a few times, then frowned, and cried bitterly in an irrepressible voice.
