Chapter 203: Jinxuan's gentleness
It has been more than two days since Xiao Jinxuan led people to surround Xiao Shuai's mansion that day.
And as soon as he returned to the Imperial Palace, after meeting with Zhou Xianrui after that day, not only all the suspicious people were examined, but the remnants of the Yuanjiang Dart Bureau, as well as those who were in the rivers and lakes in the city, were all strangled and killed.
Because Zhou Xianyu was injured, Emperor Ming learned that he was in the court at the time, and he almost fainted, and immediately instructed Zhou Xianrui to deal with it strictly, so in the past two days, inside and outside Changping City, there was a bloody storm, and everyone was in danger.
As the two people who were most seriously injured in this assassination incident, Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu were warmly alone in the Imperial Palace, and they didn't care about the outside things at all.
After two more days, under the treatment of the imperial medicine in the palace, Xiao Jinxuan's left arm was deeply visible bone scar, although it did not heal, but it had already scabbed, and the slight movement of the fingers was still done.
Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan, who saw this, was struggling to hold an apple with her left hand, and was holding a knife in her right hand to peel the peel, while Zhou Xianyu was lying nervously on the **, looking at her affectionately and contentedly.
Seeing that the knife in Xiao Jinxuan's right hand was oblique again, and he almost didn't cut it on his hand, Zhou Xianyu really couldn't stand it, and he was already worried for a while, so he immediately hurriedly said:
"Xuan'er, I have a back injury, it's okay to move my hands, or I'll peel apples for you to eat, hurry up and give me the knife, save yourself a while."
In the past two days, Zhou Xianyu really felt that it was in this life, when he was the happiest, Xiao Jinxuan's cold as ice in the past not only melted away, but also accompanied him considerately, helped him change his dressing, fed him, and took care of him meticulously.
In fact, until now, Zhou Xianyu felt like he was dreaming, after all, Xiao Jinxuan's heart knot was too deep, he didn't expect to be injured this time, but he was a blessing in disguise, so that the other party opened his heart and accepted him.
Even Zhou Xianyu sometimes thought with annoyance, if he knew that this method was so effective, then it would be good if he was assassinated earlier, and he would have survived for so long and suffered from lovesickness.
And this kind of thought, fortunately, Zhou Xianyu just thought about it and didn't say it, otherwise if Xiao Jinxuan knew, he would definitely be angry, and he would have to turn his face with him.
Besides, Xiao Jinxuan, who was struggling to peel apples, heard that Zhou Xianyu was going to do it herself, so she immediately looked away from the knife and glanced at the other party with a slight reproach.
"If you know you're injured, don't move around, it's just an apple, I can get it myself, not to mention I want to peel it for you myself, so I'll do it myself."
Xiao Jinxuan's temperament is used to being cold, so even if she cares about Zhou Xianyu a lot in her heart, it was a caring and considerate word, but when she said it, she was still cold, if she didn't understand her temper, it was estimated that she would be angry with her.
However, Zhou Xianyu, who has been estranged by Xiao Jinxuan for so long and has not been frozen, has long been immune to the other party's cold and lonely nature.
Therefore, with a grin that didn't care, Zhou Xianyu patted the ** couch beside him, and then motioned for Xiao Jinxuan to come and sit beside him.
Xiao Jinxuan, who didn't want to pay attention to it, was about to open her mouth to refuse, but then, she saw Zhou Xianyu, who was still smiling a moment ago, and suddenly her head drooped, and her eyes looked at him pitifully, looking wronged, but she couldn't bear to say it.
The refusal that was about to be said was swallowed back, and although Xiao Jinxuan Xiumei wrinkled, she still stood up from the chair and silently walked to the edge of the couch and sat down.
got his wish and called Xiao Jinxuan over, Zhou Xianyu couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, he got along for two days, and he mastered the other party's temperament.
If he forcibly asked Xiao Jinxuan to come over, or even begged, the other party would definitely refuse directly, but as long as he put on a sad and pitiful appearance, basically Xiao Jinxuan would respond to him, he had tried this trick many times, it was a hundred tried.
And this will, Xiao Jinxuan spent half a day, but she also peeled the apple for nearly half, carefully cut a small piece, she stabbed it with the tip of the knife, and handed it to Zhou Xianyu.
"Be careful not to get scratched by a knife, I'll feed you piece by piece, so don't move, save the wound."
Seeing that although Xiao Jinxuan's expression was not as tender as water, and her voice was clear and cold, Zhou Xianyu could still sense that the other party really cared about him.
Zhou Xianyu, who was immediately happy and wanted to look up to the sky and laugh three times, immediately obediently and obediently, did all the same, eating the apples that Xiao Jinxuan peeled for him with his own hands, and for the first time he found that this fruit, which he didn't like very much in the past, would be so delicious and delicious.
was eating fruit happily, and suddenly Zhou Xianyu's eyes caught a glimpse of Xiao Jinxuan's left arm, looking at the gauze wrapped tightly on it, and immediately his expression darkened, and his eyes flashed with pity and self-reproach and said:
"Xuan'er, it's all my fault, I didn't protect you safely, and you have to use your wrist to block the knife for me, such a deep wound, I'm afraid that after healing, I will also have a scar."
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan's expression froze, and then she was a little nervous, and asked tentatively:
"It is true that there will be scars, in fact, it is already a great luck, the imperial doctor said that it is fortunate that the tendons and bones were not injured, otherwise even if this arm is saved, it will be affected in the future. But if it really leaves a scar, will Zhou Xianyu suggest it? ”
In his previous life, Ji Lingfeng once said to Xiao Jinxuan in person that her appearance was not as good as Xiao Jinyu's one even if she was ten, and this husband was finally fascinated by the other party, abandoned her like duckweed, and even took her life for Xiao Jinyu in the end.
A woman's appearance is the most important, Xiao Jinxuan has the experience of her previous life, and she has a deep understanding of this sentence, so she sees that Zhou Xianyu is a dragon and phoenix among people, and his appearance is also handsome and evil in the world.
And she herself, but her appearance is ordinary, she can only be called gentle, and now that there is a scar on her arm, Xiao Jinxuan will inevitably worry about whether she will be rejected by Zhou Xianyu, because she really doesn't have the courage to take the old path abandoned by her beloved in her previous life, and her heart can't stand being hurt again.
As for Zhou Xianyu, who was originally relaxed, when he heard Xiao Jinxuan's question, he immediately took the other party's hand and asked nervously:
"Xuan'er, how can you have this kind of thought, what I like is you as a person, not to mention that it's just a scar on your arm, that is, you are disfigured beyond recognition, when all the people in this world abandon you, I will still be by your side, holding your hand and going on for the rest of my life, because no matter how your appearance changes, you are my Xuan'er, and this will never change."
The uneasiness in her heart, because of Zhou Xianyu's firm promise, was slowly calmed down, and then Xiao Jinxuan chuckled self-deprecatingly.
"What I said just now, only when I didn't say it, the road ahead is too long, all we can have is the present, I used to always worry that because of myself, it will bring you misfortune, but just like the **** who pulled out the knife said, instead of thinking about what didn't happen, we are at least alive now, this is the most important thing."
Feeling that the topic was a bit heavy, Zhou Xianyu didn't like it, Xiao Jinxuan's eyebrows showed a little worry, and he immediately changed the topic and said:
"Xuan'er, you don't know yet, yesterday when you went out to cook porridge, Niu Jing sneaked in, but he told the master all your cold methods in the past few days, it seems that I am going to marry a tigress into the house in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xianyu also deliberately made a look of regret and regret, and Xiao Jinxuan just covered her mouth and smiled.
"I am murderous, even if you go to marry Xiaoniao, you can't get it, anyway, Gu Qingge and you haven't dissolved their marriage yet, it's too late for you to regret it now."
knew that Xiao Jinxuan was not the kind of character who was thin-skinned and couldn't joke, so Zhou Xianyu was not afraid of the other party's annoyance, but continued to laugh and said:
"Gu Qingge is good, but who makes the master like the tigress, but Xuan'er, you are really ruthless, you actually caught the villain, first to be acupuncture, then to the court staff, and finally let the family step on the coals barefoot, you don't know, this matter is now spread in the Beijing military camp, my brothers are sweating for this king, I am afraid that I will not be able to subdue you."
The relationship between Zhou Xianyu and Xiao Jinxuan, when they took the knife that day, as long as they were not blind, they could see that the two of them were deeply entangled and were the real couple.
Therefore, such a major discovery was immediately unconcealable, and the big-mouthed Niu Jing told it.
So now, there is no one in the Beijing military camp who doesn't know that although Zhou Xianyu is married, he loves the daughter of the Shuai Mansion, and for Xiao Jinxuan, they are now more interested than Gu Qingge, the quasi-princess.
Especially after passing through Niu Jing, he exaggerated how Xiao Jinxuan was assassinated, he sacrificed himself to block the knife, regardless of his serious injuries, and also accompanied Zhou Xianyu.
Immediately, the generals in the Beijing military camp and the ordinary soldiers all admired Xiao Jinxuan very much, and the other party was still the granddaughter of Marshal Xiao, although it was difficult for everyone to say anything on the surface, after all, Emperor Ming's marriage was still there.
But in private, this group of upright men in the military camp are faintly looking forward to Xiao Jinxuan becoming their prince's princess.
Seeing that Zhou Xianyu mentioned that day, she severely treated the young man surnamed Chen, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but squint her eyes, and said with a laugh:
"Secretly plotting to assassinate me, he is innocent of death, and in order to survive, he does not hesitate to give up his master, this kind of person is really annoying. And I will kill him so cruelly, one is to make Zhao Yong's inner defense line collapse, so as to get the information I want from him, and the other reason is also to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, and all the eyeliner hidden in the Shuai Mansion and not cleaned up will be intimidated, after all, the young man surnamed Chen was still killed by me after confessing, and those eyeliners who were not caught will inevitably be extremely frightened, and it will be difficult to show their feet at that time. ”
Seeing Xiao Jinxuan, when it comes to business, the words will become more, Zhou Xianyu couldn't help but smile indulgently, and then said with approval:
"Yes, although this trick seems ruthless, but with the life of one person, you can dig out all the enemies in the shadows, Xuan'er wheel of resourcefulness, you are really amazing, every time you think you are good enough, but then you will do things, even more impressive things for me, do you know that every time I see you strategizing, I really think that you at that time, simply beautiful."
Speaking of which, it may be really a marriage, as a woman, if she is too ruthless and decisive, it is estimated that in the eyes of others, she will be feared and disliked.
But it happened that Xiao Jinxuan's heart was ruthless, and Zhou Xianyu was a stranger who admired it, and even fell under the pomegranate skirt, I have to say that the two of them are really a perfect match.
Hearing Zhou Xianyu's explicit approval, Xiao Jinxuan's face couldn't help but blush slightly, and she just wanted to tell the other party not to talk nonsense, but she didn't want Wen Xin's hurried knock on the door, but it sounded outside.
"His Royal Highness, and Jinxuan, the two of you hurry up and prepare, the emperor has entered the Imperial Palace, and now he is coming here accompanied by King Rui."
