Chapter 568: Knowing the Truth
The daughter of the princess of Zhenguo mentioned by Xiao Sanjiang, Xiao Jinxuan knew who the other party was referring to.
It is Xiao Mingzhu, who followed Xiao Yunyan and came to Da Zhou to participate in the state banquet to celebrate his birthday, and the lord of Baohua in Beirong.
At that time, the barbarism and willfulness of the county lord left a deep impression on Xiao Jinxuan, so much so that now that she thinks about it, she still hates it deeply.
Although Xiao Jinxuan has always wondered why Xiao Mingzhu took her place, she can't think about these things now.
Therefore, after Xiao Jinxuan grasped the things of the year more clearly from Xiao Sanjiang.
Immediately, Xiao Jinxuan saw that when facing these relatives, she completely let go of the mustard, and frowned and said suspiciously:
"Now that I'm not a matter of Shuaifu's bloodline, I'm afraid it won't be long before someone really targets me, and this matter will inevitably leak out. But fortunately, for some reason, when the Yang family carried me into the mansion, they didn't know my Beirong identity, only that I Xiao Jinxuan was a child that the peasant family didn't want. So if people know that I am not the Xiao family and there is still a glimmer of life, but once it is known that I am a descendant of the Beirong royal family, I am afraid that this Great Zhou will not be able to tolerate me. ”
Xiao Jinxuan's words are not unfounded, after all, Beirong and Da Zhou have been at war all year round, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as the same situation.
Therefore, if Xiao Jinxuan is just an ordinary daughter, she mistakenly entered the Shuai Mansion and was regarded as blood, and in addition to her current identity being deprived, Xiao Jinxuan is confident that her life will definitely be fine.
But if the identity of Xiao Jinxuan's Beirong royal family is revealed, as the lord of the enemy country, even if she has this identity, she only knows it when she sees Xiao Yunyan.
But others will definitely not think so, they will only think that she has been lurking in the Great Zhou for decades, and she must have other plans, and now that she can enter the palace, it will be a big disaster in the future.
As for Xiao Jinxuan's worries, Xiao Sanjiang naturally felt reasonable.
Therefore, when he saw him, the head of the handsome house, his face immediately turned pale, and he said to everyone in the study quite seriously:
"All the things you have heard and heard here today, the old man wants you not to leak out half a word. No matter what the Yang family confesses in the palace, the old man wants you to be consistent, and still declare that Jinxuan is my handsome concubine, and completely veto the other party's confession. The old man wants to see, if what a concubine says is not approved by my handsome mansion, who dares to question Jinxuan's child, and who dares to touch her! ”
Old Marshal Xiao spoke, and naturally none of the Xiao family members in the study dared to disobey.
But just as Xiao Sanjiang continued to give orders to deal with the next possible situation, he saw Li Dao, who had been hiding above the study, and his figure disappeared again in a few vague shakes.
Let's not talk about the Shuai Mansion, because of Xiao Jinxuan's true identity, she is making a series of preparations to protect her.
Speaking only of Li Dao in the study, Shicai can hear the conversation of Xiao Jinxuan and others clearly.
And Xiao Jinxuan's Beirong identity, as well as the fact that the Xiao family secretly still has something to do with Beirong, immediately shocked him.
Li Dao, who knew that this was definitely important information, so he rushed back to the palace with all his might, in order to quickly meet Zhou Xianrui one by one about the secrets he heard, so that His Majesty could make a decision.
As for Zhou Xianrui, who will be missed by Li Daoxin, although he was unwell this morning, he vomited out a mouthful of blood.
But now that noon has passed, Zhou Xianrui still hasn't fallen asleep and recuperate.
This is not Zhou Xianrui's unpredictable prophet, knowing that Li Dao is coming to meet him, mainly because there are too many official documents, so that he can't rest for a while.
Therefore, I saw that in the Heart Nourishing Hall in the Imperial City, although Zhou Xianrui was so weak that he coughed lightly and couldn't sit still, he was lying on the dragon bed, but he was still reviewing a letter of letters, without any slackness.
After Zhou Xianrui read the letter again, he rubbed his temples lightly, and just wanted to close his eyes and rest for a while, but he only heard a report from outside, saying that Li Dao asked to meet the saint.
This Li Dao is good at concealment and tracking, so the most powerful thing is light skill, in the case of him rushing back to the imperial city with all his might, so he has basically come to the outside of the Heart Cultivation Palace.
As soon as he heard that the person turned out to be Li Dao, Zhou Xianrui knew that the other party must have something important, and the tenth ** was related to Xiao Jinxuan, so he immediately asked Yu An to bring people in.
Li Dao is Zhou Xianrui's henchman, and Yu An is also very clear about this.
Therefore, for the sake of his true allegiance to his master, Empress Chen, Yu An really wanted to stay and listen to what important matters the other party wanted to explain to Zhou Xianrui.
Therefore, as soon as Yu An came in, he saw that Zhou Xianrui was still coughing lightly.
Immediately, he poured out a cup of wolfberry lily tea for Zhou Xianrui from the glazed white jade teapot on the side, and after handing it to the other party, he said with a smile:
"Your Majesty drank this tea that has the effect of moistening the lungs, and slowly coughed. Speaking of which, the slave really thinks that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess really takes your royal brother to heart, and not only **** sent medicinal food and pastries to nourish the lungs. Even the tea you drink is boiled by the other party and then sent by someone. The relationship between your brother and sister is really envious of others. ”
Zhou Xianrui, who was drinking tea, also smiled when he heard this. And felt that Xiangping treated his brother with respect.
However, although Yu An said a few flattering words, he did please Zhou Xianrui's heart, but because what Li Dao reported must involve Xiao Jinxuan.
Therefore, Zhou Xianrui protected Xiao Jinxuan without a hint of accident, so even if Yu An was a trustworthy person in his heart, in the end, he still withdrew the other party from the dormitory.
When the door of the hall was closed and no one else was present in the hall, Zhou Xianrui immediately asked in surprise:
"Li Dao didn't ask you to hide in Zhaoyang Palace, why did you come to meet Yu Zhen after only one morning had passed, could it be that you have already gained something."
Li Dao, who was kneeling on one knee, was actually on top of the Shuaifu's study, and he was quite sympathetic when he heard about Xiao Jinxuan's experience and current situation.
And Li Dao knows better that once he tells Zhou Xianrui all the secrets he secretly eavesdropped, it can be said that there is no difference from cutting off Xiao Jinxuan's way of life.
But even though Li Dao's eyes flashed with hesitation and struggle, his loyalty to Zhou Xianrui finally prevailed.
So I saw Li Dao hugging his hands in front of his chest, and then reported with a serious expression:
"Back to Your Majesty, Li Dao does have extremely important news, and he must report it to you immediately."
Speaking of this, seeing Zhou Xianrui looking at him with a serious expression, Li Dao, who was also struggling in his heart, immediately took a deep breath and made up his mind, and then immediately said without hesitation:
"Your Majesty, because the Yang family has not left the palace for a long time, and his son Xiao Wenyao went to Zhaoyang Palace this morning to ask for someone, so Concubine Xiao Niangniang knew that the Yang family was secretly brought into the palace. Then she left the palace with the Xiao family, went straight to the Shuai Mansion, and explained to Marshal Xiao and others in public that she was not the blood of the Shuai Mansion. ”
As soon as he heard this, a trace of such a look flashed in Zhou Xianrui's eyes, and then he smiled bitterly, and then said rather melancholy:
"I know that with Jinxuan's strategy, I am afraid that she would have investigated the baby swap that happened to her back then, otherwise she would not be as merciless to the Yang family as she was in the later stage. It's just that she can't trust me after all, otherwise she should have explained this matter to me a long time ago when she married into the Rui Palace, so that I could better protect her. ”
Xiao Jinxuan found out her life experience early in the morning, but did not tell it, what Zhou Xianrui cared about most about this was not that the other party hid it from him, but that it was uncomfortable that the other party couldn't believe him.
I am afraid that only people who are in love will have Zhou Xianrui's feelings, and his silent protection and deep affection make people feel even more desolate at this moment.
And Li Dao saw that Zhou Xianrui was not angry when he heard this, but when he thought of what he was going to talk about next, he couldn't help but feel a little trembling in his heart.
I'm afraid that the other party is not feeling well now, and if he is angry, I am afraid that he will be even more sad.
But under Zhou Xianrui's repeated questioning, Li Dao was not a person who could lie, so in the end he had to continue to tell the truth:
"Back to Your Majesty's words, except for the fact that Concubine Xiao knew early on that she was not of Shuaifu's bloodline. The real identity of the other party is actually the county lord of Beirong who was left behind, and the ancestors of the Shuai Mansion are descendants of the Beirong royal family. And for so many years, the Xiao family has been in contact with the Beirong royal family. And they are now preparing that no matter what the Yang family says, the Shuai Mansion will never admit it, so as to protect Concubine Xiao from any harm. ”
If it is said that Zhou Xianrui is a suitable talent, because Xiao Jinxuan did not tell him frankly, he has some bad feelings in his heart.
But now after listening to Li Dao's shocking secrets one after another, Zhou Xianrui not only stood up from the dragon couch where he was sitting, but also had a look of disbelief on his face.
"Li Dao, where did you hear this, how can Jinxuan be a native of Beirong, and she is also a descendant of the royal family. You also said that she is the daughter of the princess of Beirong Town, and I know better than you who that princess is. The status of this princess of Zhenguo in Beirong is on par with their current Holy Emperor, and she is even the first group of Beirong in her hands. Such a woman who can be described as a powerful and oppositional woman, how could she leave her own daughter behind, you are simply nonsense, it is really presumptuous. ”
Seeing that Zhou Xianrui was angry, in fact, Li Dao also understood this.
After all, when he was hiding in the study and heard Xiao Jinxuan say those words with his own ears, he couldn't believe it, so Zhou Xianrui's reaction was already expected by him.
Therefore, I immediately saw that Li Dao immediately started talking about the ancestors of the Xiao family, and talked about the national change in Beirong, how the young children of the royal family were sent away, and the matter of changing babies in the Yang family.
After listening to Li Dao's explanation of the causes and consequences, Zhou Xianrui, who will slowly recover from the shock.
He sat on the dragon chair and was silent for half a cup of tea, and finally let out a long sigh weakly.
And I have to admit that if Li Dao's words are true, then Xiao Jinxuan is indeed the county lord of the enemy country Beirong.
Immediately, Zhou Xianrui even felt that his brain was hurting, and even his eyes instantly darkened.
And Zhou Xianyu's heart, which has always cherished Xiao Jinxuan, will also seem to sink into a cold pool, not only getting colder and colder, but also deeply silent.
