A bloody slaughter in the Beijing suburb garden took the lives of countless people, and the blood also soaked the ground and stained countless red.

But as the night fell, after the thunder in the sky, and the rain that poured down, after all, this turmoil was completely washed away, and nothing was left.

And this will be Yacui inside, Xiao Jinxuan sat by the window, letting the open window drip on her body with gusts of cold wind, mixed with the occasional rain that rolled in.

Although she was outside the garden today, Xiao Jinxuan did not witness the scene of Xiangping's killing and the tragic death of innocent children because she left early.

But she was clear-minded, even if she didn't see it with her own eyes, she had already thought that it would be difficult for those innocent women and children to survive.

Stretching out her hand to lean out of the window, she saw that the rain quickly wet her hands, and the drips of rain even slipped down the jade wrist and onto her arm.

But even the rootless water that falls from the sky is pure and immaculate.

But Xiao Jinxuan suddenly felt inexplicably that the rain was clear, and it couldn't wash away the countless scarlet blood stained on her hands.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jinxuan's willow leaf sword eyebrows couldn't help frowning together, and she even poked her hands out of the window.

Then she took advantage of the rain and rubbed her hands together repeatedly.

Even though her wrists were flushed from rubbing, she didn't stop as if she didn't feel the pain.

Xiao Jinxuan at this time was like a demon, in her eyes, her hands were not dripping with rain, but dripping with blood.

And her expression was so focused on her hands that she didn't even hear a knock on the door.

It wasn't until Zhou Xianyu, who came to see her, that he pushed the door open and walked in because he was faintly worried.

Xiao Jinxuan was still unconscious, still rubbing her hands.

Zhou Xianyu entered the palace today, and he was able to overcome the difficulties of the crowd, and even when the court started quickly, after a lot of twists and turns, he brought the jade seal dragon seal back to Zhou Xianchen unhindered.

After stalking with the Manchu Dynasty for several hours, Zhou Xianyu felt a headache.

Although he was very tired, when he learned that Xiao Jinxuan had not eaten since she came back from outside the mansion today, and no one was allowed to enter Yacuiju.

Zhou Xianyu was worried, so he hurriedly asked the kitchen to make some dishes that the other party liked to eat on weekdays, and then brought them over in person in the rain.

As a result, as soon as he entered the door, Xiao Jinxuan's obviously abnormal expression, as well as the constant rubbing of his hands, made Zhou Xianyu worried.

Hurriedly took Xiao Jinxuan's shawl from the screen in the room and took it into his hand.

Then Zhou Xianyu helped the other party put on the cold, and said softly reproached with distress:

"How old a person is, and he's not a child anymore, why don't you know how to take care of your body like this. It's cold when it's raining outside, and you can get the wind chill with a window open. Changde quickly stretched out his hand back, what's wrong with you, your hands are already red and swollen, don't rub it anymore. ”

was held in Zhou Xianyu's arms lovingly, listening to what the other party coaxed to say.

Because of the things in the other garden during the day, Xiao Jinxuan, who really felt a lot of emotion, also handed her hands in front of Zhou Xianyu at the moment when her tears fell.

"Lord Wang, do you know how many people's blood has been stained on my hands? There are my enemies, there are people who are bent on harming me, but there are also countless innocent people who have been implicated. Maybe I didn't kill a lot of people, but I did kill them. Even though my hands looked white, just now, I saw countless blood dripping from my hands, and the feeling made me suffocate and even panic. ”

In front of her beloved, Xiao Jinxuan put down all her pretenses, and showed her most helpless and hesitant side, which was fragile.

Seeing the helplessness in Xiao Jinxuan's eyes, although Zhou Xianyu did not break the identity of the other party, his beloved woman, what hardships and difficulties he has experienced all the way from Yangzhou, he naturally knows better than others.

I have to say that Zhou Xianyu has long known that Xiao Jinxuan is ruthless and poisonous enough.

All those who are enemies of the other party, his Xuan'er has never had a time when his subordinates show mercy, and they are all eradicated by law, leaving no hidden danger.

Just like Xiao Jinxuan herself said, she executed with her own hands, and there are indeed countless people who died indirectly because of her.

And Zhou Xianyu never thought that he would like a woman with such a decisive and ruthless personality, even a little stronger than a man's killing spirit.

Now that he thinks about it, Zhou Xianyu feels that maybe Xiao Jinxuan is so ruthless, but it still doesn't disgust him, and even retreats from the root cause.

is because he knows better than others that under Xiao Jinxuan's coldness, he actually has an extremely soft heart.

Often many times, the opponent's shot is just a counterattack under pressure and self-preservation in helplessness.

Therefore, the more tenacious and cold Xiao Jinxuan showed, Zhou Xianyu couldn't stop wanting to pity and protect the other party.

And this will look at Xiao Jinxuan's face full of disgust, and he didn't even want to look at his hands, Zhou Xianyu shook his head with a wry smile, and at the same time, he grasped the other party's plain hand.

Then he saw Zhou Xianyu bow his head and kiss Xiao Jinxuan's hands lightly.

Then he put the other party's finger between his teeth and pecked it lightly, and said with a tender and tolerant face:

"Concubine Ai is used to seeing you vigorously and resolutely, but now you are suddenly delicate and helpless, which really makes this king feel uncomfortable. But Changde, listen well, whether you are a vicious woman, or cold-hearted and cold-hearted. Since you have become my princess of Zhou Xianyu and have also become my woman, then no matter what you look like, you are the best in the eyes of this king. What the hell happened to make you so uncomfortable, it just so happened that I didn't have a meal when I went home, so how about we talk while eating. When you say all the things that are pressed in your heart, you won't be so depressed. ”

Sometimes when people are alone, they will inevitably have cranky thoughts.

But now that Zhou Xianyu is by her side, Xiao Jinxuan's uneasy mood has gradually eased a lot, and she has been busy out of the house early in the morning until now, except for a cup of hot tea in Huai'an Hou's Mansion, she has indeed not eaten anything.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan, who also felt a little hungry, couldn't help but have dinner with Zhou Xianyu.

After drinking two sips of hot soup and feeling warm all over her body, Xiao Jinxuan talked about the things during the day.

"Actually, the prince doesn't have to worry, maybe it's a rainy night that is already sad, but now I'm fine. After all, it was still daytime, and the innocent women and children in Ji Lingfeng's villa all died, and I felt that I was also the one who indirectly killed them. And there is also Princess Xiangping, who came to report to us, because the other party was angry in the other garden, and then fell to the ground and caused premature birth. Although a boy was born, the baby boy was born stillborn because of the severe trauma to the mother. As for Xiangping, although he saved his life, the imperial doctor said that it would be difficult to get pregnant in this life. ”

Xiangping was born prematurely, and the entire Shuai Mansion was in a mess, and Su Qi personally went out, so naturally any information could be obtained in detail.

After all, Su Qi is a person who has even broken through the Great Inner Forbidden Palace alone and can escape with his whole body, so it is naturally difficult for him to be able to defeat a mere handsome mansion.

As for Zhou Xianyu, after hearing these words, he knew why Xiao Jinxuan was so depressed.

"Changde, do you think that the women and children in the other garden, as well as the stillbirth of the baby boy born to the eighth sister, are all caused by you. But why don't you think differently, maybe some people's deaths are indeed innocent. But sacrificing a small number of people can stabilize the situation as soon as possible, completely eradicate the Queen Mother's party, and support Xianchen's pro-government. Then the people in the Great Zhou Dynasty can recuperate and not be disturbed by the turmoil of the court. Compared with the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, a few innocent lives are nothing at all. ”

It's not that Zhou Xianyu is cold-blooded and ruthless, maybe the way to govern the country, the court debates that he is indeed not good.

But Zhou Xianyu is a general who leads the army to fight, and he often goes deep alone, knowing that he is dying, but for the sake of the overall victory, he has to make this sacrifice.

Therefore, the way to choose and start with the overall situation, Zhou Xianyu sees these very thoroughly, so this will be able to comfort Xiao Jinxuan freely.

And after listening to his words, although the pressure of self-blame in Xiao Jinxuan's heart is still not small, at least it has eased some emotions.

Just looking at Xiao Jinxuan, with that forced smile, Zhou Xianyu still felt sorry in his heart, so after thinking about it, he couldn't help but suggest:

"Xiangping's premature birth injured his body, and Ji Lingfeng was also hurt this time, and now they are afraid that they will fight in the nest. I will do my best to suppress Empress Chen in the court party, so don't think about anything in Changde for the past two days, just take a good rest. After you come to Da Zhou, you don't have time to walk around, so it's better for this king to suggest a good place for you. On the rabbit ridge on the outskirts of Beijing, there is a city god temple, where the scenery is good, and the incense is very strong all year round. You might as well go tomorrow to offer incense and relax, maybe your mood will be much better. ”

Because Xiao Jinxuan has never revealed her identity, Zhou Xianyu did not dare to take the initiative to break it, for fear that the other party's knot would be difficult to untie, and he would quietly leave him again.

But Zhou Xianyu knew that Meng Liangjun in the City God Temple was Xiao Jinxuan's best friend.

So he deliberately asked the other party to relax, in order to create an opportunity for their sisters to meet, and this intention is indeed rare and considerate.

As for Zhou Xianyu's suggestion, she also felt that she was too depressed, and she felt that Xiao Jinxuan, who had been bound by hatred for a long time, was a little difficult to support, and she felt that she should really soothe her mood.

"Today, because of the separation between Ji Lingfeng and Xiangping, too many innocent people have died. Tomorrow I will go to the City God Temple, and I will do my best to make incense for them in front of the Emperor of the City God. At that time, I may stay in the courtyard for two days, and the prince will have to deal with it alone, but if something unexpected happens, you must remember to send someone to find me. ”

Looking at Xiao Jinxuan, she was just going to go to Rabbit Ridge to live for a few days, but she didn't feel at ease and told a lot of words.

Zhou Xianyu not only didn't feel that the other party was nagging, but his heart was warmed by this kind of concern repeatedly, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.
