The faint bitter taste of the decoction lingered in the nose for a long time.

There is also a faint sound around, as if there is still the sound of someone talking, and this is the first thing Xiao Jinxuan felt after regaining consciousness.

The last memory I remember is that on the night of that thunderstorm, I fell into a pool of lake.

But Xiao Jinxuan, who felt that she seemed to be lying down, knew very well in her heart that she should not have died, but was rescued.

After relieving for a long time, Xiao Jinxuan opened her eyes slightly, and immediately heard someone around her shouting happily:

"Mother, come quickly, Sister Jinxuan has woken up, she is fine."

This voice sounded quite familiar, and when Xiao Jinxuan turned her head to look, she found that it was Zhou Xianchen standing on the edge of the couch.

And Zhou Xianchen, who was at this meeting, also saw Xiao Jinxuan looking at him, and immediately he cried and said:

"Sister Jinxuan, why are you so stupid, although the seventh brother is gone, you can't stop you from wanting to live because of this. If it weren't for the fact that my eighth sister was sent back from the imperial study, saying that you didn't know where you went alone, and then the mother concubine immediately sent someone to look for you, if you were a little slower, my sister's life would really be gone. ”

I struggled to raise my hand and help Zhou Xianchen wipe away the tears on his face, but Xiao Jinxuan didn't have any strength in her body, and finally had to give up this plan.

However, she still pulled a smile at the corner of her mouth, and then said comfortingly:

"Xianchen, I scared you, now I'm really fine, don't cry, manly man, how can you always cry lightly."

As soon as he heard this, Zhou Xianchen immediately obediently rubbed his sleeve on his face without discipline, and then although he still wanted to cry, he still forcibly endured it.

And at this moment, I saw Concubine Liang, who had always been calm, almost trotting all the way to the front.

Tsai looked at Xiao Jinxuan carefully for a long time, and seeing that the other party was smiling at her, Concubine Liang couldn't help but say with red eyes:

"Why are you still laughing out loud, you stupid boy, it was so suspenseful last night. Do you know that if it weren't for the imperial doctor who kept taking the old ginseng and hanging your breath, maybe Jinxuan would really have to go with Xianyu. You girl is really pitiful, and she is about to come to the end of her suffering, but the royal child who is good for me is gone. ”

In the end, Concubine Liang couldn't hold back her crying, and seeing her crying, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and she actually shed tears.

"Concubine Liang, it's all Jinxuan's bad, I told you to bother. But don't worry, I'm not going to do what happened last night. Xianyu is gone, and even if I die, he won't be able to come back. In that case, I will chant for him, hoping that he will be on the other side and have a better life. ”

In fact, Xiao Jinxuan is not a person who despises life at will, and the reason why she will look for a short sight yesterday is just because her heart hurts too much, and she is a little stunned for a while, so she almost embarked on a road of no return.

And now that she has calmed down, Xiao Jinxuan just wants to use the rest of her life to repay her debt to Zhou Xianyu and that self-blame.

Therefore, she wanted to chant for each other every day, and then take the carefree hairpin that Zhou Xianyu gave her to complete their longing agreement for the future life.

Traveled all over the mountains and rivers, saw the picturesque scenery of the four seasons, wandered away from various countries, and did not care about the rights and wrongs of this Beijing division.

Although Zhou Xianyu is no longer there, Xiao Jinxuan still wants to fulfill this wish for the other party.

And with a carefree hairpin by her side, Xiao Jinxuan felt that Zhou Xianyu had not left her for a moment.

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan could give up the idea of suicide, Concubine Liang was naturally happy to see it.

And Zhou Xianchen, who was half-squatting in front of the ** couch, also tilted his head and looked at Xiao Jinxuan with surprise in his eyes.

Although Zhou Xianchen was not in good health when he was a child, he stayed away from the imperial city and used hot spring water to nourish his body in the palace.

But the children in this palace, which one is not used to seeing the trend of inflammation and jealousy among the concubines.

But Zhou Xianchen has never seen such a different woman as Xiao Jinxuan, although he believes that the women in this palace will dress up and try their best to please each other for the sake of his father.

But Zhou Xianchen also knew that if his father was really absent one day, I am afraid that none of his concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards would be willing to die for him.

Therefore, Zhou Xianchen, who is now eleven years old, looked at Xiao Jinxuan's face, and suddenly felt a little envious of Zhou Xianyu in his heart.

And he also silently decided that if he wanted to marry the princess in the future, he would definitely find a woman like Xiao Jinxuan as his wife.

Xiao Jinxuan naturally didn't know about Zhou Xianchen's sudden thoughts, and she saw that there was no Xiangping around.

Remembering that the other party was like her last night, it had been raining for a long time, and Xiao Jinxuan immediately asked worriedly:

"Concubine Liangniang, was Xiangping okay yesterday, I vaguely remember that I seemed to push her, and I don't know if I hurt her."

Because as soon as Xiangping was sent back yesterday, he told Concubine Liang everything about it.

Therefore, knowing that Xiao Jinxuan was an unintentional mistake, Concubine Liang did not feel unhappy because her beloved daughter was pushed.

So after wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, Concubine Liang chuckled and said:

"Jinxuan, you can raise it with peace of mind, Xiangping is just a little cold, and it's not a big problem, so don't blame yourself."

And just when Concubine Liang saw Xiao Jin wake up and wanted to ask the other party if she wanted something to eat.

But before the words were spoken, someone from the palace came to report, saying that Aunt Zuo Wen of Fengxiang Palace came with Empress Xue's Yizhi.

As soon as she heard that it was Zuo Wen, Concubine Liang's brows immediately furrowed, but the other party had the queen's will, although she felt that Zuo Wen was not good, she had to see it.

And it didn't take long for Zuo Wen to hold Xue Houyi's decree in her hand, and then she walked in with pomp and circumstance surrounded by a group of eunuchs from Fengxiang Palace.

Seeing Zuo Wen's posture, Concubine Liang felt even more in her heart, but she didn't leave a trace on her face, and immediately asked with a chuckle:

"Zuo Wen, you are not serving the queen in Fengxiang Palace today, what is the matter, you still need to come to my Yanqing Palace to read the edict. If the queen has any calling, the palace will definitely go forward to listen to the will. ”

As soon as she heard this, Zuo Wen smiled politely. However, when her eyes saw Xiao Jinxuan, who was half-lying on the **, she couldn't help but have a fierce color flashing in her eyes.

"Concubine Liang, Zuo Wen is here to greet you. But it seems that the mother has misunderstood, today's decree has nothing to do with you, but my queen mother, specially issued to the lord of Zhaoyang. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Zuo Wen raised the Yi Zhi in her hand, and then said with a hint of banter:

"Lord Zhaoyang, didn't you understand the words of the slave? This is the queen's decree, why are you still lying on the soft collapse, and don't hurry up to kneel on the ground to receive the decree. ”

Xiao Jinxuan's hair is now scattered, her face is as pale as paper, and her expression is extremely haggard.

Anyone who looks at it can see where she has the physical strength to get up from the ** couch now.

But seeing that Xiao Jinxuan couldn't get up, Zuo Wen didn't read this edict, and immediately Concubine Liang couldn't help but be secretly anxious, knowing that the other party was intent on making things difficult.

After all, Xiao Jinxuan is also the county lord and can be regarded as a royal man. Although it stands to reason that you must kneel to receive the order, if there is a special reason, such as being sick in **, in fact, these rituals can also be omitted.

And just when Concubine Liang was about to speak up, Xiao Jinxuan, who was half-leaning on the soft pillow, had already sat up and said first:

"Since it was the queen's decree to me, then Jinxuan should really get up. However, Aunt Lao Zuowen still has to wait, and I am a little unwell now, so I really can't go over immediately. ”

This harem is controlled by Empress Xue, and now that Zhou Xianyu is gone, Concubine Liang has lost this adopted son, and the capital that invisibly competes with the other party has also weakened a lot.

Therefore, although Xiao Jinxuan is unwell, her brain is not confused. Before King Rui did not return, Concubine Liang's current situation was extremely dangerous.

Mingzhe protects himself and tries to avoid the edge of Empress Xue, which is the best choice for Concubine Liang now.

So how could Xiao Jinxuan ask the other party to forcibly come out for her because of herself, such a good concubine would be in danger.

And Zhou Xianchen, who was staying aside, was also annoyed. But he was too young and had not been crowned king, so the only thing he could do was to hurry up and support Xiao Jinxuan.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, Xiao Jinxuan felt like she was stepping on cotton, and she couldn't stand at all.

So she stumbled, and she fell diagonally forward, and finally fell to her knees, which barely stabilized her figure.

Zhou Xianchen, who was originally supporting Xiao Jinxuan, had never studied martial arts, and his strength was small.

Immediately seeing that he didn't hold the other party, he hurriedly ran over with self-blame, and wanted to help Xiao Jinxuan up.

And Zuo Wen on the side, seeing this scene, came to Xiao Jinxuan with a smile, and then said condescendingly:

"The county lord of Zhaoyang really has great respect for the queen's mother, but it is to receive the decree of Daoyi, and the county lord's bow is too grand. When the slave maid returns these things truthfully to the queen mother after she goes back, it is estimated that the mother will be moved by the county lord after hearing it. ”

Zuo Wen's sneering words, even Zhou Xianchen, who was holding Xiao Jinxuan's wrist on the side, such a half-grown child, could understand the ill-will in the other party's words.

Immediately, he was too young to be able to calm down. Therefore, Zhou Xianchen's little face tensed, and then he kicked Zuo Wen's leg, and wrinkled his nose at the other party when he was finished, making a grimace.

As the queen's confidant, Zuo Wen, even the concubines in the palace saw her, and they had to give three points of courtesy.

Therefore, Zhou Xianchen's behavior of kicking her immediately made Zuo Wen cold eyes and glared at her fiercely.

Xiao Jinxuan, who knelt on the ground because of the fall and severe pain in her knees, still gritted her teeth and protected Zhou Xianchen behind her.

Then she looked up, and though she was weak, she was still on her knees and could not get up. But she was neither humble nor arrogant, her eyes looked at Zuo Wen like ice and said:

"Since my aunt is going to be called, don't delay your business, and don't forget your duty. And Xianchen is the prince, and the round eyes of his aunt are really inappropriate. If you scare the prince, I'm afraid my aunt can't afford to pay for her nine lives. ”

Hearing Xiao Jinxuan's words, Zuo Wen retracted her gaze unwillingly, and then looked at Xiao Jinxuan kneeling in front of her, she snorted and opened the Yi Zhi, and then read out the content word for word with a loud and arrogant voice.

And Empress Xue's edict is actually very simple. is grateful for Zhou Xianyu's untimely death, in order to remember his heroic soul, so Xiao Jinxuan was specially ordered to pray for the other party for three years as the surviving wife, and leave the palace without delay.

After closing the Yi will, Zuo Wen made a color to the palace people behind her, and even if there was a palace maid, holding a plain white filial piety suit, she handed it to Xiao Jinxuan.

Reaching out to take the filial piety clothes, the corners of Xiao Jinxuan's mouth couldn't help but show a miserable smile.

While slowly putting on the filial piety clothes, she couldn't help but say silently in her heart:

"You can see it, although we have not been able to marry as we wish in this life, but now I am here to mourn for you as your wife. There is no chance in this life, and I only hope to stay together in the next life. Always accompanied by a green lamp, only pray that you will rest in peace. ”
