In front of the palace gate, Zhou Xianyu and Zhou Xianyu were extremely reluctant to ask each other for a while, and Xiao Jinxuan entered the palace under the gaze of the other party, full of nostalgia and reluctance.

When she returned to Zhaoyang Palace, when Shicai and Zhou Xianyu were rarely together, although she was tossed by the other party for a morning, she cherished this time together.

So although she also felt extremely tired, she was still able to fight strongly.

But this will be separated from Zhou Xianyu, and after the tender and warm feelings in his heart fade away, the pain of soreness and tiredness will come up.

Therefore, almost as soon as she entered the dormitory, Xiao Jinxuan took a bath and cleaned herself, and the afterglow of dusk had not yet fallen, but she had already collapsed and quickly fell asleep.

Although at the beginning of this sleep, Xiao Jinxuan slept very sweetly and comfortably because of sleepiness.

But later, Xiao Jinyu, who had always appeared in her dreams recently, was stabbed to death by Ji Lingfeng himself.

and the princess and Ji Lingfeng, who were dressed in a bright yellow phoenix robe and palace skirt, but could never see their faces, and heard each other's voices, and the scene of being together appeared again.

And because of this dream, she began to gradually frown, and Xiao Jinxuan, who couldn't sleep peacefully, couldn't help but be awakened by Xiao Jinyu's miserable screams before she died.

Although Xiao Jinxuan has experienced this dream more than a dozen times in her sleep for more than half a year.

But Xiao Jinyu's unwilling scream of fear at the end still made her wake up in a cold sweat every time.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan, who gradually woke up from her sleep, saw that it was dark in the dormitory.

Immediately, she was not in a hurry to call someone in to hold the lamp, but sat quietly on the bed, and her mind fell into contemplation again because of the bizarre dream.

After all, if this bizarre dream of Xiao Jinyu's death only appeared once, Xiao Jinxuan might still comfort herself in her heart, believing that this was just a strange dream.

But when the same dream appeared more than a dozen times, and even Xiao Jinyu and Ji Lingfeng were exactly the same in the dream, Xiao Jinxuan had to believe that this must be an omen.

And what puzzled her the most was the princess in a bright yellow phoenix patterned suit, so according to what she saw in her dream.

Xiao Jinxuan knew that the person who really killed her or even Xiao Jinyu in her previous life was the one who started it.

But Xiao Jinxuan investigated for half a year, but no princess in the entire Great Zhou was qualified to wear a bright yellow palace dress, and the difference between this and the dream was the most incomprehensible to her.

Just when Xiao Jinxuan was once again in distress and thinking because of this dream, suddenly Wen Xin's knock came from outside the door, and the other party raised his voice across the palace door:

"Jinxuan, are you awake, I just heard some slight noises coming from the dormitory, and I guess it's time for you to get up after resting for an hour. If you wake up, I will go in and hold the lamp, after all, the decoction that Your Majesty is going to take tonight will be gone, but you will come to dispense the medicine yourself. ”

was reminded by Wen Xin, and remembered that from today on, Xiao Jinxuan, who was responsible for Zhou Xianrui's decoction, immediately couldn't help but immediately turn over and collapse.

And Xiao Jinxuan, who had been forgetting about this matter since she came back from outside the palace, immediately asked Wen Xin to hurry into the palace and light the candlestick.

And she even moved out the herbal box left by Old Man Ding, and immediately took the ingredients according to the prescription that she skillfully memorized in her heart, and then went down to boil the decoction herself.

In this way, more than an hour passed, and the bright moon was seen hanging high, and the night was already dark.

But Xiao Jinxuan, who had just boiled the decoction according to the heat hour, still braved the cold of the September night and walked in a sedan chair in the dark palace road corridor, in order to send the medicine to the imperial study in person.

It didn't take long this time, and Xiao Jinxuan went to the front of the imperial study accompanied by Wen Xin.

Yu An, who was waiting outside for the night, saw that the person who came turned out to be Xiao Jinxuan, who had never been to the palace for more than a month.

Immediately, his eyes couldn't help flashing with surprise and thought, but he hurriedly greeted him respectfully.

"The slave Yu An asked Concubine Xiao to say goodbye, and the mother was auspicious. I don't know what is the important matter for you to come to the imperial study so late, now Your Majesty is still busy with political affairs, and Concubine Su has also come, but Your Majesty did not agree to see you. According to the minion, if Concubine Xiao has nothing important, she should come over during the day tomorrow. ”

When he was still in the Rui Wang's Mansion before, because of Empress Chen and Zhou Xianrui, the mother and son were extremely close to Xiao Jinxuan, so Yu An's attitude was also extremely flattering and polite.

But as the relationship between Xiao Jinxuan and Empress Dowager Chen deteriorated, even Yu An, a slave who served Empress Chen loyally, began to stumble openly and secretly.

Just like now, Yu An didn't even go in to talk to Zhou Xianrui, and wanted to persuade Xiao Jinxuan to leave directly on the grounds that Su Qin was rejected, which was something that had never happened before.

As soon as he heard Yu An's words, Wen Xin, who was physically damaged in Rui Wangfu, and decided to continue to follow Xiao Jinxuan as an internal servant from that time.

He once worshipped Yu An as a teacher, and he specially learned palace rules and etiquette with the other party.

Therefore, hearing the perfunctory meaning of Yu An's words, Wen Xin couldn't help but walk in front of the other party, and after bowing and asking for peace, he said with a smile:

"I'm afraid the master doesn't know, the apprentice came with Jinxuan today to bring a decoction to His Majesty. The news of Ding Lao's departure from the palace must be clear to the master, and now the emperor must take the lung-nourishing decoction every day is in charge of Jinxuan. So the tired master went in and said goodbye, after all, if the decoction is cold, the effect of the medicine is not good. ”

Although Yu An was dedicated to Empress Chen, he didn't want to give Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianrui the opportunity to meet alone.

After all, the two continue to stalemate now, and for his master Chen Hou, he is the happiest to see it.

But Zhou Xianrui is the king of a country, if the other party's dragon body really has a mistake, Yu An will definitely not be able to bear this responsibility, so he can only go in unwillingly to report it.

And didn't let Xiao Jinxuan wait long, and Yu An, who could see the general attendance, not only came out, but even Zhou Xianrui, who was supposed to be dealing with government affairs inside, also stepped out of the imperial study.

When Zhou Xianrui came to Xiao Jinxuan in a few steps, Zhou Xianrui, who had not seen the other party for almost two months, immediately flashed with joy in his eyes, and said with great concern:

"It's autumn now, and it's very cold in the morning and evening, it's just one day less to take the decoction, Jinxuan, why don't you send it in person at night. Quickly put my cloak on to keep out the cold, and when I wait for me, I will ask Yu An to make a cup of ginger tea to drive away the cool air for you. ”

Seeing that as soon as Zhou Xianrui finished speaking, he wanted to take off the cloak on his body.

But Xiao Jinxuan took a few steps back with a cold expression at this moment, and then asked Zhou Xianrui for peace according to the palace rules, and then said politely and distantly:

"Your Majesty, your body is fine, so you don't have to worry about me. Therefore, you should wear the cloak yourself, otherwise you will be infected with the wind and cold when you turn around, and then Jinxuan's sin will be great. Therefore, Your Majesty should go back to the imperial study immediately, drink the medicine I brought, and Jinxuan should go back to the palace immediately, so as not to disturb you here. ”

Looking at Xiao Jinxuan, she was still half-bent over, and spoke in a posture of blessing and greeting, although everyone in the palace spoke so respectfully when they saw Zhou Xianrui, the emperor, now.

But somehow, Zhou Xianrui suddenly felt that the relationship with Xiao Jinxuan seemed to be a lot more distant during the other party's time.

After all, before Xue Yuyan's incident happened, Xiao Jinxuan had always had grace in front of Zhou Xianrui to dispense with all palace rules and etiquette.

But in just two months, Zhou Xianrui found that he and Xiao Jinxuan were not only estranged, but also seemed to be separated by too many things.

There is no longer the feeling of respecting each other, but pushing each other's hearts and minds.

Zhou Xianrui, who had no reason, panicked because of this change, but he, who had always been calm, still maintained his usual expression, and seemed to calmly introduce Xiao Jinxuan into the imperial study.

After Zhou Xianrui instructed Yu An to go down to prepare tea, when he saw that Xiao Jinxuan would enter the imperial study, he was still standing in the hall in a regular manner.

For a while, the uncomfortable feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger, and Zhou Xianrui, who didn't like the other party to be so cautious in front of him, couldn't help frowning lightly and said:

"When did Jinxuan become so detained in front of me, you have been standing outside for so long, and now you still insist on standing when you come in, sit down and rest. In fact, whenever you are by my side, you can do whatever you want, I don't need you to follow the rules to face me. ”

Hearing Zhou Xianrui's words, Xiao Jinxuan's face became more respectful, and she bent her knees and immediately replied:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking a seat, but with all due respect, Jinxuan really can't do what you said just now. In fact, I was confused and forgot to measure myself before, you are already the king of a country, but in my eyes, I still regard you as His Royal Highness King Rui. So many things not only transgress their identity, but also commit the great crime of disrespect in front of the emperor. The reflection in the past two months has made Jinxuan realize her mistakes. Jun is Jun, and the prestige of the Ninety-Five Emperor is not allowed to be despised by others, so it is better for Jinxuan to abide by the rules, so as to save the day when she makes a mistake and provokes your anger. ”

Xiao Jinxuan's words were actually not angry with Zhou Xianrui, because after a long talk with Zhou Xianyu today, she figured out many things.

Just as Zhou Xianyu said, his imperial brother is no longer the former Rui Wangye, and the other party has ascended the throne as the emperor, and it is not what it used to be.

So now Xiao Jinxuan, who has gradually accepted this change in her heart, in her opinion, from now on, when facing Zhou Xianrui, it is not wrong to give the other party the same respect as Emperor Ming.

And between her and the other party, there is no cooperation and alliance, at least Xiao Jinxuan feels that she has to gradually pick up the rules that should be there.

But Xiao Jinxuan is indeed not wrong to think so, but she is neither humble nor arrogant when she speaks, and her expression is calm from beginning to end, which makes Zhou Xianrui feel very uncomfortable.

After all, Xiao Jinxuan in the past not only talked freely in front of him, but also could give him advice.

The smart and cunning Xiao Jinxuan is what Zhou Xianrui remembers, but now the other party's well-behaved appearance is simply like two people.

With a long sigh, he saw Zhou Xianrui staring at Xiao Jinxuan for a long time, and finally said again:

"Jinxuan actually knows in my heart that Xue Yuyan and the child named Brother Qi were executed, and you still have a grudge against it. But for this, I admit that I really shouldn't have done it to a young baby, but I also don't feel like I've done anything wrong. In the past two months, you have been living in Zhaoyang Palace and refused to come out all day long, and I have visited you several times, but you have also stopped you outside the palace for various reasons. In fact, Jinxuan I don't know why you and I have come to this point, is it because of that child, you really have to drift away from me for the rest of your life. Xiao Jinxuan, are you really so cold that you turn a blind eye to my feelings for you, and you must become a loner. ”
