Xiao Jinxuan's temperament has never been based on her own preferences, and she is impulsive and reckless.

She can tolerate Xue Yuyan's provocation and ridicule three times and twice, but she is indifferent, that is because Xiao Jinxuan knows in her heart that the other party is still useful and cannot move for the time being.

And today, although she intends to give Xu Tingyin to Shen Qing Liwei, the most she can do is to kill with a cane, and the reason why she made the other party look like life is worse than death.

The most fundamental reason is not that she is venting her personal anger, but to teach Xu Tingyin's father, the commander of the cavalry camp, a lesson, and tell him that Rui Wangfu can't rub sand in his eyes.

After all, there are more than 2,000 soldiers and horses in the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and the other party is not loyal to Zhou Xianrui, but defects to the Xiangfu.

Now that the news of the prince's death, Empress Xue is still secret, although outsiders speculate that the other party is under house arrest in the palace, but they did not guess that the prince has been poisoned to death.

And now that the prince's party can almost be said to be led by Zhou Xianrui alone, Xu Tingyin's matter will inevitably give a warning to those who are ready to take refuge in the prime minister's mansion because they can't see the prince.

As for Zhou Xianrui, who will do this, while draping the begonia pattern velvet cloak for Xiao Jinxuan, the other party in the province woke up by the window and got cold.

He sat down to the side with a slow smile, then nodded and said:

"Jinxuan, you have always been thoughtful in doing things, so why is this king worried. The Xu family does need to be punished for taking refuge in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but with the Xue family protecting them, this king has no chance to treat the Xu family in the previous dynasty. However, Xu Tingyin is a concubine of the back house, and you act as a side concubine, although others can see that this is the king's warning to the Xu family, but no one can say anything. Therefore, your shot this time is indeed just right, and it can be regarded as helping this king solve a thorny problem, so why should I blame you. ”

But as soon as he finished saying this, Zhou Xianrui looked at Xiao Jinxuan's gentle face and slender figure under the candlelight, and he couldn't help but say with pity:

"Although King Jinxuan doesn't blame you, he wants to tell you, don't be too sad in the future. You're still suffering from a headache, so don't get too much blood on your hands. After all, you are a woman after all, and it is not your responsibility and burden to support half of the world. With the help of your identity as a handsome mansion, this king already feels that it is enough. Tell me to do the rest, you can actually be like an ordinary woman, enjoy flowers and embroidery, and live a more relaxed and casual life. ”

But hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan immediately couldn't help but hand her plain white hands to her eyes, and after watching silently for a long time, she suddenly laughed silently.

His Royal Highness said with a smile, on Jinxuan's hands now, I am afraid that ten fingers are no longer enough to kill people indirectly and directly. Sitting quietly in the courtyard, the life among the butterflies and flowers is probably not related to me in this life. What's more, it's just a headache, the Xue clan will not be peaceful except for the previous dynasty, and the Xianyu will eventually be calculated by them again. So this thing that supports the country is the burden of the prince. But for the sake of showing the emperor, for the revenge of Chi Ling and the others, I am stepping on the blood, and I will plan step by step to completely destroy the Xue family, this is my responsibility. ”

Sensing that her emotions were a little out of shape, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but change the topic and suddenly persuaded after taking a deep breath:

"Your Royal Highness King Rui, Sister Shen went to Gansu with you, and now that she has finally returned to the house, you should go to accompany her tonight. In addition, Xue Yuyan was punished today, in case she has a bad heart, the prince must also remember to appease one or two. ”

Hearing the meaning of Xiao Jinxuan's words, he wanted to persuade himself out of the room, Zhou Xianrui, who was slightly clenching his fists and tapping his forehead, did not open his eyes, but just said with a chuckle:

"Xue Yuyan was punished to kneel, Yu An told me, Qing shouldn't have moved the other party at this time. But these things are all said tomorrow, today Xue Xiang personally went to the court, and after this king dealt with him, he now has no energy to estimate the feelings of these women in the back house. Jinxuan asked me to continue to sleep here tonight, because in the huge Ruiwang Mansion, in fact, I can only sleep peacefully with you. ”

In fact, Zhou Xianrui did not deliberately flatter and narrow the relationship with Xiao Jinxuan, he was tired of government affairs all the year round, and he basically **** will not rest until the second half of the night.

Occasionally, I went to the courtyard of the concubine, but my ears were full of jealousy, jealousy and jealousy between women, and it was difficult to take a good rest.

Although Shen Qing is indeed virtuous and virtuous, the more considerate this wife is to him, the more guilty Zhou Xianrui feels in his heart.

After all, when he married Shen Qing, it was just a political marriage, and all he could give the other party was honor and the identity of the concubine, but only the attachment and love in his heart could not be paid.

Blindly bearing the other party's pay, this is actually a kind of pressure for Zhou Xianrui.

Therefore, he did occasionally go to Shen Qing's place to sit for a while and talk to each other, but he rarely stayed overnight.

As for Su Qin, who was the most successful in the past, since Xiao Jinxuan, the main master, entered the Rui Palace, she, the shadow who replaced the other party, naturally found it difficult to keep Zhou Xianrui.

In addition, although this Su Qin is also gentle-looking, Zhou Xianrui has been up and down for so long, and he can't see the restless heart of the other party.

But here is different, the other party is not only Zhou Xianrui's favorite woman, but also the government officer, the two of them have actually dealt with it together for the past month.

With Xiao Jinxuan by his side to assist and help, Zhou Xianrui not only does not need to stay up late at night, but he is also much more comfortable in handling official business, and the cooperation between the two can be described as extremely tacit.

And seeing that Zhou Xianrui really looked tired, Xiao Jinxuan's words to dissuade the other party from visiting Shen Qing were really difficult to say.

Finally, with a faint smile, Xiao Jinxuan stood up and walked to the desk dedicated to Zhou Xianrui in the room, and said softly:

"The prince is sleepy, and he must want to deal with the prince. Today, you rested earlier, I took a nap for a while, and now I happen to be in good spirits, and I will approve these cases on your behalf. If you are not in good spirits, how will you deal with the situation in the court tomorrow? ”

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan finished speaking, the person had already sat down at the table, and held the pen in one hand and the case in the other, and quietly reviewed it.

Although Zhou Xianrui is upright and rigorous, he is not pedantic.

In his opinion, although Xiao Jinxuan is a woman, she is full of strategies for governing the country, and her courage is not inferior to that of a man.

In addition, in the past month, Xiao Jinxuan has already gained experience in helping him take care of official affairs, so Zhou Xianrui is not worried that the other party will make any mistakes.

Therefore, he was really tired today, and even when he walked to the Luohan chair, he didn't even eat dinner, and he fell asleep after a lot of effort.

When the candle next to the table was almost half burned out, Xiao Jinxuan, who had finally completed the approval of the last week, looked at the annotations written by Zhou Xianrui on it, and immediately couldn't help but smile.

In fact, Xiao Jinxuan originally knew that Zhou Xianrui was conscientious and conscientious for the government, and the title of the virtuous king was well deserved.

But after entering the Rui Wang's Mansion, Xiao Jinxuan saw with her own eyes the hardships and difficulties of the other party, and she was far more diligent than she imagined.

After all, anyone can do it if they occasionally stay up until the middle of the night before resting.

But for more than ten years, he has worked for the court like this, without taking care of his own body at all, I am afraid that even the prince who has been poisoned may not be able to do Zhou Xianrui's point.

Moving her somewhat stiff waist slightly, Xiao Jinxuan stood up gently.

Because she knew that Zhou Xianrui was in her room, she always fell asleep without taking off her coat.

So she didn't shy away from suspicion, and walked a few steps to the Luohan chair without making too much noise.

And when she saw that the other party's resolute face had softened a lot after falling asleep, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but suddenly think of Emperor Ming's going to pass on the throne to Zhou Xianrui that day.

Lightly extinguished all the candles one by one, and with the only remaining candlestick, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but look at Zhou Xianrui and muttered:

"Your Highness, as you yourself said, it is true that matters of affection are not under our own control. How can I not feel your silent help, meticulous trust and care. But I can't pretend to be anyone in my heart except for the emperor, so what I can do for your Royal Highness is to assist you to ascend the throne and become the emperor, and completely eradicate the curse of the Xue family, which is the bane of the Great Zhou, so that it can be regarded as repaying your affection. ”

As soon as she finished saying this, Xiao Jinxuan immediately turned around and walked towards her ** couch. And almost as soon as she left, Zhou Xianrui, who was still asleep, opened his eyes slowly.

How to say that Zhou Xianrui also has martial arts, Xiao Jinxuan, a person with no kung fu background, was actually awakened when he walked within ten steps of him.

After silently listening to Xiao Jinxuan's words, Zhou Xianrui, who was at this meeting, couldn't help but open his eyes and laughed silently.

Although the other party confided his heart when he thought he was asleep.

Seeing her own efforts, Xiao Jinxuan is actually clear, which is enough for Zhou Xianrui.

Even if Xiao Jinxuan's heart can't tolerate him in this life, but he can have this time with the other party's ****, Zhou Xianrui feels that God can be regarded as favoring him.

With a hint of relief and relief, Zhou Xianrui saw the last candle in the house, and after Xiao Jinxuan went to the ** couch to extinguish the candlestick, it also disappeared completely.

After silently hoping that Xiao Jinxuan could have a good dream, Zhou Xianrui immediately closed his eyes again, and soon after, he was extremely tired recently, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep again.

The calm ** passed like this, but on the morning of the second day, the sky was not yet bright, and neither of them woke up in the house.

Suddenly, there were bursts of women's cries in the courtyard, as well as movements to discourage the alarm, which woke up Xiao Jinxuan, who had always been quite sleepy in the house.

When her mind cleared up, Xiao Jinxuan immediately got up and went to the ground, but as soon as the embroidered shoes were put on, Zhou Xianrui, who was also awakened, still walked out from behind the screen.

The crying outside seems to be Xue Yuyan, it seems that the king's recent intentional accommodation to her has caused this Xue family girl to be even more unscrupulous. Knowing that this king is sleeping here, she dares to disturb it. Jinxuan, you continue to sleep, and this king will go and deal with her alone. ”

Shaking her head slightly, Xiao Jinxuan refused Zhou Xianrui's kindness, and got up and walked to the door.

"I've already woken up, I can't sleep anyway, I just heard Sister Shen's voice. I still went to see it with the prince, and I was also very curious, what tricks did Xue Yuyan want to make. ”
