Chapter 169: Pain
Gu Qingge really cared too much about Zhou Xianyu, so when she saw that the other party suddenly avoided it, she just thought that she was toasting slowly, and this nervousness, her eyes couldn't help but reddened slightly.
Seeing that Gu Qingge didn't do anything to her, she was about to cry for two rounds, Zhou Xianyu frowned and glanced at her, holding a wine glass, and wanted to leave directly in his heart.
But when he saw it, Xiao Jinxuan, who was sitting on the side, not only didn't look at him now, but also smiled and talked to Xiangping about himself, as if he and Gu Qingge had nothing to do with each other.
The woman's tears Zhou Xianyu was very annoyed, but Xiao Jinxuan's attitude made him even more angry.
He didn't leave immediately, but went directly around the guest table, next to Gu Qingge's side, and sat down directly with a chic sleeve of his robe.
Zhou Xianyu's move was too sudden, the moment Gu Qingge sat down, his whole face turned red like a burning cloud, and she glanced at the other party obsessively, she quickly lowered her head again, holding the hand of the wine glass, and even trembled so much because of nervousness, she didn't even notice that the wine was overflowing.
And Shen Wenqing glared at Zhou Xianyu at this time, secretly annoyed that this seventh brother was really uneasy, this unintentionally made Xiao Jinxuan even more uncomfortable, he lost the other party to do so much for him, but unfortunately this seventh brother didn't know anything.
is talking about Xiao Jinxuan, although her expression has not changed, but a pair of hands hidden in the cuffs, because they are clenched into fists, the nails have pierced the palms, and a little blood is overflowing, but there is still a light smile on her face, and Xiangping has a word, chatting without a word.
As for Zhou Xianyu, although he was drinking wine with Gu Qingge with a gentle face, Yu Guang never left Xiao Jinxuan, but he saw that the other party's mood still hadn't changed at all, and he didn't even look at him.
Zhou Xianyu, who still had doubts in his heart just now, and didn't want to believe that Xiao Jinxuan was deceiving him from beginning to end, would be regarded as a complete death.
felt that the words of the other party under the pavilion may not be sincere, maybe in the other party's heart, he never really cared about him.
Feeling depressed, Zhou Xianyu drank five glasses of liquor in a row, although his chest was hot and stimulated by the wine, but his heart felt more and more cold.
Gu Qingge looked distressed from the side, she has always been delicate, when Zhou Xianyu was laughing with her, her eyes looked at Xiao Jinxuan, in fact, she had already found out.
Therefore, looking at Zhou Xianyu's melancholy expression now, she couldn't help but look resentful in her eyes, and quietly looked at Xiao Jinxuan.
After all, in her opinion, Zhou Xianyu was so sad, it was all caused by this Xiao family's concubine, but she didn't know that the two of them, the person who made such a contradiction now, was actually herself.
If it weren't for Gu Qingge's failure to marry Zhou Xianyu, he would have to cut his hair and become a nun, how could Mrs. Gu ask for Concubine Liang.
And although Concubine Liang knew that Zhou Xianyu had no intention of being with this niece, because it was not good to refuse Mrs. Gu, she brought the matter to Emperor Ming.
Therefore, Gu Qingge now seems to be defending Zhou Xianyu and complaining about Xiao Jinxuan, in fact, if she was not too obsessed with herself, and asked for this marriage that was not a good relationship at all, where would she have caused the current situation.
After a banquet, the singing and dancing are wonderful, and the monarchs and ministers are happy, but the people who have their hearts in their hearts don't care about what songs and dances they enjoy.
Therefore, until the end of the banquet, Xiao Jinxuan actually didn't know what she had done that night.
Because she is now busy acting, draining all the strength of her body to maintain the peace on her face as much as possible, but this drama is really hard, she will even be blackened in front of her eyes, if it weren't for Shen Wenqing supporting her, it is estimated that she would have fallen unsupportively.
And the song and dance that also didn't take a night, I saw half a point in my eyes, and the protagonist of tonight's celebration banquet, the famous war king Zhou Xianyu.
It's just that now this king of war, where is there still the high spirit when he gallops across the field, and even after the banquet, Emperor Ming left the table and returned to the palace, when everyone got up to pay respects, he still looked lonely and held the wine jug, drinking wine by himself.
In fact, his current behavior is a big disrespect, after all, when the emperor leaves the table, he must get up and send him off.
But whoever let tonight's celebration banquet be held for Zhou Xian's court, plus he has always been so deviant, Emperor Ming didn't say anything, who would be full of food and support, to pick this royal highness is not.
But others didn't dare to object, but Zhou Xianrui, who had always been in charge of Zhou Xianyu as his younger brother, walked over with a frown, and immediately admonished dissatisfied:
"Xianyu still hasn't put down the wine glass, full of wine, what kind of body, don't go back to the royal palace tonight, go back with me, there are just some things, I still have to tell you."
But hearing this, Zhou Xianyu, who had always been obedient to this fifth brother, waved away the other party's hand that was holding him, and then looked at Xiao Jinxuan with sad eyes.
But he said to Gu Qingge: "I just met my mother, I heard that Mrs. Gu is going to stay in Yanqing Palace tonight, Miss Gu is now the fiancée of this king, how can I feel at ease if I ask you to go back to the house alone, so I'll send you back." ”
Seeing Zhou Xianyu like this now, Zhou Xianrui has always understood him, and knowing what the other party said, it was clearly deliberately saying it to Xiao Jinxuan, not from the bottom of his heart.
Thinking that Xiao Jinxuan heard this, her heart must be uncomfortable and want to die, Zhou Xianrui's expression was also ugly, and he said in a cold tone:
"Seventh brother hurry up and leave with me, as for Cousin Qingge, I will send someone else to send her back, so you don't have to worry about it."
Knowing that Xiao Jinxuan's current calm must be forced, although Zhou Xianrui's face was as usual, he was actually secretly distressed, so what he could do for the other party was to quickly pull Zhou Xianyu away, don't let this seventh brother hurt Xiao Jinxuan's heart.
But tonight, Zhou Xianyu was already in a depressed mood, and he didn't drink less wine, so he didn't listen to Zhou Xianrui's words, but directly took Gu Qingge's hand and walked out.
Seeing this, Zhou Xianrui was angry, and was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Xiao Jinxuan's words.
"Your Highness, let him go, I think you must have guessed Jinxuan's intentions, then you should know that this result is the best for everyone now, so don't worry about me anymore."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Jinxuan smiled sadly, and then sighed, walking outside the Jinhua Palace.
Xiangping, who stayed on the side from beginning to end, was stunned when he saw it, and couldn't understand why Zhou Xianyu was angry, and Xiao Jinxuan, who looked like usual just now, why even the back made people feel lonely and distressed.
And just when she was stunned, Zhou Xianrui pulled the sleeve of this sister-in-law, and commanded with concern:
"Xiangping, don't be stunned here, it's good that you personally accompany the fourth lady back to the Shuai Mansion tonight, she is in a bad mood now, and you can rest assured that you are with you as a brother."
Hearing this, Xiangping naturally wouldn't shirk, she and Xiao Jinxuan were already extremely good, and she could see the abnormality of the other party, not to mention that Zhou Xianrui was not at ease, as far as Xiao Jinxuan looked like now, if she really let her go back alone, Xiangping would also be worried in her heart.
If it weren't for the fear of causing trouble, Zhou Xianrui would have wanted to send it off himself, but now that Xiangping has arrived, he is a lot more stable.
Obviously, Zhou Xianrui's arrangement was too prescient, because when Xiangping rushed to Xiao Jinxuan's side, the other party was being pulled by Gu Qingge and couldn't get out.
In fact, just now, Zhou Xianyu pulled Gu Qingge, and as soon as he left Jinhua Palace, he was going to send her home directly.
Although Zhou Xianyu has no feelings for Gu Qingge, he has always been true to his word, even if it was just to fight with Xiao Jinxuan just now, he was still ready to keep his promise and send her home in person.
But when the two of them came to the palace courtyard where the carriages of various prefectures were stored, Gu Qingge suddenly said that he was too strong to drink, and he had to take a rest, otherwise he would have to vomit when he got into the carriage.
Zhou Xianyu is a man, in this case, he naturally wants to accommodate Gu Qingge.
But no one knew that Gu Qingge's drinking power was not so bad, and she was just delaying time now, in order to be alone with Zhou Xianyu for a while, and at the same time, to wait for someone to come.
And the person she was waiting for was naturally Xiao Jinxuan, who was a little unsteady in her footsteps and walked with spirit.
Because Zhao is the eldest lady of the Shuai Mansion, Emperor Ming saw that the old lady did not attend today, and after inquiring and learning that the other party was sick, he immediately called Zhao, and after the banquet, he went to the Tai Hospital to receive some precious tonics, so Zhao still stayed in the palace and did not come out with Xiao Jinxuan.
And now that her consciousness is scattered and her heart is in pain, Xiao Jinxuan naturally can't wait for Zhao, and just wants to hurry back to Forsythia Courtyard.
Because she felt that if she was delayed, she might not be able to hold back to the Shuai Mansion, and she would have to lose her spirit and pass out.
Seeing that the carriage of Shuaifu was in front, Xiao Jinxuan cheered up and was about to go up, but was stopped by Gu Qingge, who had been waiting for a long time.
"Why did Sister Jinxuan come out alone, if the night is cold today, you are not like me and His Royal Highness to send it off, watching my sister leave by herself like this, I really don't feel at ease."
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan looked over to Gu Qingge, looking at Zhou Xianyu who was standing beside the other party, and now he was looking up at the moon, without saying a word or looking at her.
Xiao Jinxuan knew that the other party's heart was really broken by her tonight.
Taking a deep breath, a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, isn't this result what she wants, from now on, she doesn't have to worry, Zhou Xianyu will change his life because of her, and encounter a disaster that should not have happened in his previous life.
But it was obvious that she got her wish, but Xiao Jinxuan only felt that her heart was dripping with blood, and her whole body was cold and trembling.
As for Gu Qingge's question, she no longer has the strength to answer, except for gritting her teeth and insisting, telling herself that she must not fall down now, in her mind, she can no longer think about anything.
And Xiao Jinxuan's abnormal state now, Gu Qingge, who was holding her wrist, naturally felt it clearly.
Looking at the other party's miserable white face oozing cold sweat, Gu Qingge's kindness and softness in the past disappeared, in her heart, instead of a little pity, there was a sense of revenge, which could not be suppressed.
Even when Xiao Jinxuan turned around and pulled her hand to leave, she grabbed the other party to death, in order to take a second look, the other party's pitiful appearance that was in pain now.
And just when Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help it, her head sank and almost fell, but she was helped by Xiangping, who came quickly from behind.
Then as soon as Xiangping looked up, she saw Gu Qingge's sneering expression, she was startled, she didn't know how her cousin, who had always been docile, could show such a terrifying expression.
Out of instinct, Xiangping didn't think about it, and directly grabbed Gu Qingge tightly, Xiao Jinxuan's hand that didn't let go, and then she looked at this cousin again with a vigilant face, helped Xiao Jinxuan, who was already half-conscious, and hurriedly got into the carriage.
