Chapter 508: Murderous Reputation
Zhou Xianyu, who was holding Xiao Jinxuan for fear that the other party would bump into someone because of the bump in the carriage.
As soon as he heard the voice of the woman outside complaining, a trace of helplessness flashed on his face, and he immediately got up and said:
"Xuan'er, today I was discussing with the imperial brother in the imperial study, and the Shuai Mansion came to report that the old lady died of illness and was afraid that the early dynasty would be absent for a few days, and you also went out of the palace to rush back to the funeral to worship. I was afraid that you would be troubled in the Xiao family, and I really thought about you in my heart, so I hurriedly chased after you. I thought I would send you back to the palace in person, but now it seems that there is no such opportunity. The voice of the person talking outside, if I heard it correctly, I'm afraid it was Aunt Cheng'an. She is the sister of her father, and the royal family married her to the current Duke of Huaguo Bai Dongyang in order to make friends with the Bai family for generations. Now the Bai family is involved in the rebellion case, and his son Bai Hang has not been spared from prison. In the past few days, the imperial aunt has made trouble in front of the imperial brother several times because of Bai Hang, and I don't know how she knew that you left the palace today, and you were still stopped in front of the carriage. Jinxuan, I'll go and help you pull it away, you go back to the palace first, and I'll take care of the rest. ”
Zhou Xianyu had Xiao Jinxuan in his eyes, so he couldn't tolerate the other party being hurt a little, so he heard that Princess Cheng'an's tone was not good.
Therefore, Zhou Xianyu was naturally reluctant to ask Xiao Jinxuan to stay, and was ready to clean up the mess after sending the other party away.
But Zhou Xianyu got up and wanted to push open the door of the carriage, but was stopped by Xiao Jinxuan.
"Xianyu, you better stay in the carriage, the carriage is now in the middle of the city. Princess Cheng'an's remarks, passers-by know that it was me Xiao Jinxuan sitting in the car. So you're going to get out of my carriage, and you're bound to have to make a lot of noise afterwards. So I'll take care of it myself, and you can just wait for me here. ”
is the so-called concern is chaos, Zhou Xianyu only thought about trying to get Xiao Jinxuan to avoid the trouble of Princess Cheng'an, but ignored their relationship with each other, and now they can't see the light in public.
So even in the end, Zhou Xianyu was worried, but he still had to watch Xiao Jinxuan get out of the carriage.
And he stayed in the carriage according to what the other party said, so that no one could find out about his existence.
After Xiao Jinxuan was helped off the horse by Wen Xin, she immediately signaled Zhuxin to close the carriage door immediately.
Seeing that Zhou Xianyu's figure was not seen, after her heart was slightly stable, she looked at Princess Cheng'an.
I think that the last time I met Princess Cheng'an, it was when Emperor Ming held a birthday banquet when he was alive.
And although Princess Cheng'an of that meeting did not smile because of the Buddha fasting, her expression was extremely peaceful and quiet.
But now half a year later, today's Princess Cheng'an, her eyes are bloodshot, her expression is extremely fierce and hideous, and the feeling of piety and calm has disappeared.
As soon as she saw Xiao Jinxuan looking at her, Princess Cheng'an, who had never stopped screaming since she was just a little older, stepped forward and came to Xiao Jinxuan's side, and immediately raised her hand to hit the other party's face.
It was also thanks to Wen Xin that he noticed that the other party's expression was wrong, and he was wary early in the morning.
Therefore, Cheng An's hand was raised, and he grabbed it to death, not allowing the other party to hurt Xiao Jinxuan in the slightest.
As Princess Cheng'an's personal maid for marriage, Aunt Biyun saw Wen Xin's cold face and mercilessly detain her master's actions, and immediately she couldn't help but reprimand anxiously:
"Bold slave, my master is the sister of the first emperor, the imperial aunt of His Majesty today. If you don't hurry up and let go of your claws, if you hurt Her Royal Highness the princess of my family, you can't afford to cut off ten heads. Offending the royal family is a big crime of the Nine Clans, I think you have eaten the guts of an ambitious leopard. ”
Regarding Aunt Biyun's accusations and reprimands, Wen Xin is now in charge of the palace attendants in Zhaoyang Palace.
Xiao Jinxuan, who delegated power to all the affairs of the Six Palaces, was also transferred by him, and he also had the dual identity of the head of the Forbidden Palace.
Aunt Biyun's threatening words were really hard to scare Wen Xin.
Therefore, seeing that he still grabbed Princess Cheng'an's wrist and did not let go, he snorted and said with great sneer:
"I, Xiao Wenxin, was an orphan before I followed my master, and I am not afraid of the Nine Clans. And this aunt, I bother you to see clearly, if it weren't for my timely action, a slap from your princess would have hit Concubine Xiao's face today. It is true that Princess Cheng'an is a member of the royal family, but the master of my family is in charge of the six palaces, and he can't let others take it lightly. said that I ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, aunt, you had better figure it out, if my master is injured today, including Princess Cheng'an, I'm afraid none of you can afford this responsibility. ”
As soon as Wen Xin finished saying this, Princess Cheng'an, who was controlled by him, couldn't help but push Aunt Biyun's side.
Seeing that Cheng An stumbled and almost didn't fall to the ground, Wen Xin's expression didn't make any waves, but calmly retreated behind Xiao Jinxuan.
As for Princess Cheng'an, as soon as she stood firm, she immediately wanted to rush towards Xiao Jinxuan again with red eyes, but this time she was stopped by Aunt Biyun.
After all, Biyun's reprimand did not scare Wen Xin, but Wen Xin's warning, but it made Aunt Biyun tremble when she heard it.
Now inside and outside the government and the opposition, everyone knows that after Zhou Xianrui ascended the throne, he gave up the power of the harem and the concubine, but handed it all over to Xiao Jinxuan.
In the eyes of everyone who doesn't know the truth, it is inevitable that Xiao Jinxuan will feel that Xiao Jinxuan is because she favors the Sixth Palace, so she crossed Shen Wenqing's power and got this honor.
Compared with Xiao Jinxuan, Cheng An is just the aunt of the current emperor, and the royal family has always been a place where respect and humility are only talked about, and family affection is extremely indifferent.
A princess of the first emperor, although her seniority is quite high, compared with Xiao Jinxuan, who can now be described as the middle of the day, the difference between them is still very large.
Especially since Xiao Jinxuan took over the harem in the past, she suppressed and killed the remnants of Empress Xue with the power of thunder.
The concubines in the harem, because they live in the forbidden palace all the year round, know to each other that she is deliberately suppressing the power of the Xue family.
But there has never been an impermeable wall in everything, and Xiao Jinxuan's bloody wind in the harem has actually heard some rumors outside the palace, especially among the nobles of the family.
But after all, after word of mouth, most of the things in the palace will be a little out of the way.
Therefore, everyone outside the palace knew that Xiao Jinxuan had punished no less than 500 palace people in the past few months, of which more than 300 were executed by palace rules, and the rest were all exiled from the palace.
And Emperor Ming's concubines, more than 20 people were executed, and more than 10 people were beaten into the cold palace.
Just listening to these figures, the nobles of the family outside the palace would not think of Empress Xue's power in the palace, how extensive it was involved, and how terrifying it was.
And everyone's first thought was to kill and punish Xiao Jinxuan, who punished so many people, how cruel and cold-blooded the means were, and how murderous.
Therefore, the rumors can indeed demonize an ugly person, at least Xiao Jinxuan's current image outside the palace is almost to the point of making people talk about her perversion.
Thinking of Xiao Jinxuan's murderous reputation, as well as the iron-blooded methods done by the other party in the palace, Aunt Biyun will not live everything in her mind.
Looking at Xiao Jinxuan, who was standing there quietly and looking at them, even if the other party's expression could even be described as gentle, Biyun still felt a chill in her back.
Therefore, Aunt Biyun even grabbed Princess Cheng'an to death, for fear that her master would offend Xiao Jinxuan because of her words.
At that time, I am afraid that the lives of their master and servant will be taken by this murderous and unblinking Concubine Xiao.
In fact, this is Bi Yun scaring herself, Xiao Jinxuan's character has always been revenge, and kindness will definitely be remembered.
At the beginning, she had no choice but to go to the Huaguo Mansion with Mrs. Xiao as a guest, Bai Liu and her biological mother Wu tried to assassinate her several times, and finally poisoned the soup bowl she used.
At that time, it was Princess Cheng'an who helped her and arranged her to live in her own courtyard, and Xiao Jinxuan has always remembered this kindness, and she has never forgotten it.
Therefore, even if she was a princess of Cheng'an, she couldn't help but say that she was going to step forward when she saw her, but Xiao Jinxuan not only didn't care at all, but smiled gently and greeted the other party.
"I haven't seen you for a few months, Jinxuan is here to greet Her Royal Highness the Princess. Looking at your complexion, your complexion is not too good, although the New Year has passed, there will still be snow occasionally. It's freezing and the road is difficult, so the princess should go home early. No matter what, you can go to the palace to find me, as long as you come, Jinxuan will be waiting for you. ”
Xiao Jinxuan now has a noble status, and no one can match her power in the harem, so she can put her status so low, which is already enough to give Princess Cheng'an face.
But these words fell in Cheng An's ears, but they only got a sneer from her, and then she saw Her Royal Highness the princess pointing at Xiao Jinxuan, and said with annoyance in her eyes:
"Xiao Jinxuan, you demon concubine who confuses the monarch, if it weren't for you to provoke demagogy. Although Bai Liu helped to abuse him, what was wrong with the Huaguo Mansion, and how could my Hang'er be imprisoned and put on trial. Now that my son's death sentence has been set for the autumn queen, you have told me to go back to my house to rest. Now that the nine clans of the Bai family are in trouble, although I am a princess, I am already homeless. If Xiao Jinxuan knew that saving you would have been the result today, then Princess Ben would rather watch you die in the hands of Bailiu's mother and daughter, and she would definitely not save you, an ungrateful person. ”
Facing Cheng An's accusation that he would be in tears and looked extremely regretful, Xiao Jinxuan listened to the people of Beijing gathered around, and pointed at her and discussed her actions.
Originally, Xiao Jinxuan, who wanted to save face for Cheng An, didn't want to talk about anything with the other party.
Seeing that the people are gathering more and more, if she does not speak clearly, it is likely that her reputation will be damaged.
At that time, once she is really detained as the Gu Emperor and oppresses the reputation of the royal princess, she will be attacked by Empress Xue and the remaining ministers who support the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is also quite dangerous for Xiao Jinxuan.
So after weighing the pros and cons, Xiao Jinxuan, who was silent for a while, sighed helplessly after all.
Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan knows that even if she is thinking about Cheng'an's kindness in the past, she now has to explain the merits of the other party to the other party in public, and she can't back down.
