Empress Xue's deliberate provocation can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

In fact, in the two months since he came back, although Zhou Xianyu has not returned to Beijing once, he has been staying in the barracks.

But about Xiao Jinxuan's marriage to Zhou Xianrui, he is also quite clear, saying that he does not complain about Emperor Ming at all, it is indeed difficult for some strong people.

After all, the news of his death was only transmitted back to Jingshi Yueyu, and Emperor Ming, who was his biological father, immediately gave his fiancée to other siblings.

This is something that Zhou Xianyu really can't understand without knowing the truth.

Because of Xiao Jinxuan's wedding, the blow to him was indeed extremely serious, after the death of Zhou Xianyu's mother, His Royal Highness the Great Zhou Dynasty War King was actually full of loneliness and confusion in his life.

And Xiao Jinxuan's appearance is a beacon that lights up the direction of Zhou Xianyu's life, he has been ready to stay with each other for the rest of his life, and he really never thought that one day he would see Xiao Jinxuan marry someone else.

So while his heart was heartbreaking, the man he wanted to kill quickly and snatched his love was Zhou Xianrui, this brother named Zhou Xianyu really couldn't hurt the killer.

So in the end, Zhou Xianyu chose a way to retreat.

Whether it was Concubine Liang's letters, or Emperor Ming's announcements again and again, or even about the situation in Beijing, he chose to avoid it.

And for this reason, Zhou Xianyu, who returned to Beijing for the first time, although he keenly discovered the abnormality of the forbidden army when he entered the palace this time, he still did not know the wolf ambitions of Empress Xue and the Prime Minister's mansion.

After all, whether it was Concubine Liang's letter or the person sent by Emperor Ming to announce Zhou Xianyu, it was strictly screened and monitored by Empress Xue, who now controls the entire palace.

As for the abnormal actions in the Beijing Division, there is a blockade from the Prime Minister's Mansion that covers the sky, and Zhou Xianyu, who is far away in the Beijing military camp, is indeed difficult to obtain any valuable information without taking the initiative to contact the front and outside.

So I heard that Empress Xue was deliberately provoking the relationship between him and his father, but Zhou Xianyu was only annoyed with him as always, but he didn't think of going to a deeper level.

However, Xiao Jinxuan, who had just learned from Guo Yi that Empress Xue and the Prime Minister's Mansion were ready to gather troops, vaguely understood Empress Xue's true intentions, probably to stimulate Zhou Xianyu and the royal family to turn against each other.

secretly hated Xue Hou and still targeted Zhou Xianyu, and immediately Xiao Jinxuan was naturally worried in her heart.

After all, Emperor Ming's body is now at the end of his strength, but as long as he lasts for a day, what the Xue family wants to do, he has to worry about it for a day.

And Xiao Jinxuan knows better that Emperor Ming's feelings for Zhou Xianyu's son are different from those of the children next to him.

If Zhou Xianyu was because of Empress Xue's words, he really had a dislike with Emperor Ming. And if this majesty is so sad that his body can't hold it up at all, then the situation is extremely unfavorable.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, knowing that Zhou Xianyu had already misunderstood her quite a lot anyway, Xiao Jinxuan felt that there was really no need to involve Emperor Ming.

Therefore, I saw her take a step forward slightly, and then gave Xue Houfu a salute with a light smile, and then said calmly:

"Have you forgotten that King Rui and I entered the palace to ask for marriage because of our love. At that time, His Majesty did not allow it, but then the prince and I knelt on the ground and begged, and the Holy One had no choice but to give the will. Niangniang was not present at the time, so it is no wonder that she did not know about it. ”

protected Emperor Ming from being affected, and then took all the things about the big wedding on himself.

Xiao Jinxuan is actually like a mirror in her heart, and her words will inevitably have a big impact on Zhou Xianyu.

But I don't want to see the other party fall for Xue Hou's discordant scheme, and then turn against his biological father, and even alienate the entire royal family. Xiao Jinxuan was in a hurry, and she really couldn't think of any better plan.

Xiao Jinxuan's move to defend Emperor Ming, Zhou Xianrui, who has always had a very tacit understanding with her, naturally saw the deep meaning, and immediately he also spoke at the same time and took over all the things about the wedding.

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianrui reacted so quickly, Empress Xue couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly, and she wanted to be angry and hindered Emperor Ming to sit aside, but she couldn't attack at all.

And looking at Xiao Jinxuan to hide the truth of the marriage that day, and sat in the first place, because the back of the neck was pricked by Ding Yi's needle, and Emperor Ming, who looked no different from ordinary people, understood the other party's good intentions after thinking about it secretly.

looked at Xiao Jinxuan's gentleness, but showed a resolute tenacity. Emperor Ming couldn't help but secretly feel sorry for her, so he didn't give Empress Xue any chance to pun again.

Emperor Ming immediately waved his hand, and then instructed Deng Chang on the side:

"Since it's a family banquet, after asking Xianrui and Jinxuan to serve tea, let's pass the meal and start the banquet. It's rare for the children to get together, and I may not have eaten with you in a long time. Therefore, I hope that at least one family banquet today will be enjoyable, and any matter of the previous dynasty, the suspicion between each other will be put aside for the time being. ”

Emperor Ming doesn't look good now, but the refreshing needle is extremely draining, and he is already deeply poisoned, and when he deals with this family banquet in the past, he knows in his heart that his time must be running out.

On that emperor's dragon chair, one is decades, Emperor Ming has worked hard all his life for the Great Zhou, but in fact, life and death are not so serious.

To be able to get together with his children and relatives before the deadline, no matter how undercurrents of this banquet may be, it is also a gratifying thing for him, and it can be a party for him to leave without regrets.

Especially before he died, he could see Zhou Xianyu, his favorite son, once, even if he saw Concubine Rou in the underworld later, Emperor Ming felt that he could explain something.

And when the tea was served, Xiao Jinxuan walked to the seat with Zhou Xianrui, and the exquisite dishes were also put on the table.

Because this family banquet is nominally prepared for Zhou Xianrui's wedding, in fact, her fundamental purpose is to provoke Zhou Xianyu.

Therefore, I can see that the name of the dish reported by the waiter at the same time as the dish is served, which is called a deep affection and auspicious love.

A plate of candied nuts, named Tender Honey, and ants on the tree, but called a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren.

The stewed eight treasures are named rich and rich, especially the lily lotus leaf sweet soup, which has also been renamed a hundred years of good harmony.

Looking at these familiar dishes, they were given new names.

Not to mention that Zhou Xianyu's expression became more and more gloomy when he looked at the dishes brought to the front, even Xiao Jinxuan was a little difficult to hold back her smile, and she couldn't eat these dishes calmly.

But at this moment, after Xue Hou clapped her hands, four attendants immediately walked in with a huge soup pot.

And when the pot was placed securely and the lid was lifted, everyone saw that there was a delicious soup boiling hot.

Then I saw Empress Xue motioning to the palace maid to add soup to everyone, and after she smiled slightly, she deliberately looked at Zhou Xianyu, and then said with a smile word by word:

"This soup is made of countless delicious ingredients, the essence of which is added to the laurel soup, and the palace himself named it Hua Hao Yue Yuan. It can be regarded as a heart sent by me, as a mother, to Xianrui and Jinxuan. Since the two of you are in love, you must always be in love with each other. ”

Obviously, Zhou Xianyu's face was already ugly, but Empress Xue ordered Zuo Wen to add fuel to the fire and put a bowl of soup on the table.

And look at Xiao Jinxuan's side, if she hadn't kept telling herself, she would have to stabilize and not mess up, otherwise she would have been unable to stay for a long time, and she would have left the table uncomfortably.

But at this moment, the flower and the full moon soup were also placed in front of her, but when Xiao Jinxuan wanted to endure the discomfort and barely took a sip, she found that there were several balls the size of a dragon's eye floating inside.

Xiao Jinxuan accidentally ate the flesh and blood of her parents and children who were made into balls in her previous life, so after she was reborn, not only did she not eat all kinds of balls, but it was unbearable to see it.

She was already haggard in her heart by the names of Xue Hou's dishes, and the soup bowl in her hand was even more difficult to hold, so she directly buckled upside down.

Almost as soon as the abnormal situation happened on her side, Zhou Xianyu, who was sitting on the throne of the prince opposite, was the first to stand up.

His eyes were full of anxiety, and he didn't even care about what he was complaining about, Zhou Xianyu was about to hurry to Xiao Jinxuan's side to check whether the other party could be burned.

But almost after he took three or four steps, Zhou Xianrui was extremely distressed, and immediately couldn't care about the hot soup with his bare hands, so he helped Xiao Jinxuan bounce off the residual soup spilled on his body, which instantly made Zhou Xianyu stop his steps.

Listening to Zhou Xianrui's anxious words, as well as the other party's thoughtful move, he wanted to take Xiao Jinxuan to change his clothes immediately.

Only then did Zhou Xianyu realize that the other party was the one who got married and married, and he no longer had any position and reason to care about Xiao Jinxuan.

Looking at the dish in front of him and listening to the harsh name of the dish, looking at Zhou Xianrui's caring behavior, Zhou Xianyu suddenly felt that he was so redundant at this moment.

His heart gradually became completely cold, and as soon as the direction of Xiao Jinxuan changed, Zhou Xianyu immediately walked outside the hall.

And he had already decided that no matter how much he missed Xiao Jinxuan from now on, he didn't want to return to Jingshi.

After all, for Xiao Jinxuan, Zhou Xianyu felt that it was the best choice, and he didn't want to disturb the other party's life because of himself.

And looking at Zhou Xianyu's silent departure from the table, a smile flashed in Empress Xue's eyes, after all, her repeated actions today, although they did not achieve the results she was satisfied with.

But as long as Zhou Xianyu's heart can be disturbed, so that the other party is negligent and has no time to take care of the changes in the capital division, then she can be regarded as a successful plan.

Looking at Zhou Xianyu, who was sad and left gloomily, Emperor Ming not only felt sorry for this son, but also didn't want to see the two children he valued the most turn against him.

Therefore, after seeing him stand up immediately, and asked Deng Chang to stop Zhou Xianyu on the way, he immediately raised his voice and said:

"I've been in poor health lately, and now I'm feeling a little tired. And Rui'er and Jinxuan's tea have also been drunk, and now Jinxuan is burned by the soup, so she hurried to find the imperial doctor to treat the burns, and then go back to the house. As for you and wait for you, my father has something to say to you alone, so you can go with me to the Imperial Garden. ”
