Reborn as the first poisonous concubine

Chapter 789 Winning Hearts 1
But the doubt in my heart didn't stay buried for long.

Sure enough, Shen Rui listened to Wei Zijin's persuasion, and arrived as promised on this hot summer day.

Ye Zhiqiu, the owner of Huixian Building, had reserved a box for them in the most hidden place of Huixian Building, and prepared food and drinks, waiting for Xiao Jingyao, Wei Zijin and Shen Rui to arrive.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't want to reveal his identity too early, so he just ordered the food and drink to be prepared, and didn't even show up.

And Shen Rui never discovered another identity of Ye Zhiqiu, the boss of Huixianlou.

"You're here..." Xiao Jingyao saw Shen Rui being led to the box by Ye Zhiqiu's confidant, a calm smile slowly floated on his face.

Shen Rui nodded silently, and waited for the buddy to leave before taking his seat. His eyes wandered around the smiling Wei Zijin, and then returned to Luoyang King Xiao Jingyao.

Xiao Jingyao didn't seem to be in a hurry to speak, but picked up the flagon and wanted to pour wine for Shen Rui. Shen Rui quickly stood up to stop Xiao Jingyao, and said respectfully: "Shen is just a commoner now, and I don't dare to bother the prince to pour wine for Shen Rui personally." ..."

Xiao Jingyao shook his head and smiled lightly, and slowly said: "Shen Rui, this king has always regarded you as a close friend, so you deserve this glass of wine!"

Shen Rui's heart was shocked, seeing Xiao Jingyao pouring out the glass of wine for him, he took the initiative to hold up the wine glass: "Then, this glass of wine, Shen, I respect the prince, thank you for saving my life back then!"

After the two of them drank the glass of wine, the original silent atmosphere in the private room was finally broken. Shen Rui thanked Xiao Jingyao again: "Although the prince didn't say anything, Shen knew that if the prince hadn't tried his best to protect Shen in front of the emperor, I'm afraid Shen won't be released so easily this time!"

"It's not your fault that the prince fell into the water, and the emperor was just angry for a while..." Xiao Jingyao said lightly, as if to explain Xiao Heng's move.

However, before he could finish speaking, Shen Rui smiled wryly and said, "I'm afraid the emperor has long distrusted Shen. The fact that Shen can be the crown prince Fu is because His Highness the crown prince insisted on proposing this to the emperor... It's a pity that Shen will not be able to become the crown prince anymore. I am not worthy of His Royal Highness' painstaking efforts!"

Thinking of the death of the crown prince, guilt surged in Shen Rui's heart, and he drank a glass of wine like this. Wei Zijin, who hadn't spoken before, saw Shen Rui's self-blame, and finally couldn't help but persuade him: "Shen Rui, you If you are depressed like this because of the prince's death, you will be sorry for the prince's painstaking efforts!"

Shen Rui's hand holding the wine glass suddenly trembled.

He took a deep look at Wei Zijin, and then sighed a long time: "My concubine's kindness, Shen understands... Shen is now ashamed, the emperor may not tolerate Shen anymore!"

"If you were really ashamed, you wouldn't be here today!" Wei Zijin's calm words made Shen Rui speechless for a moment.

Before Shen Rui could answer, Xiao Jingyao said again: "It doesn't matter whether the emperor can tolerate you or not, it is the idea of ​​this king and Zijin to persuade you to stay. Now that the court is unstable, the emperor has been ill for a long time, and the power in the court is chaotic, Dayin is indispensable." You are such a virtuous talent!"

When he said this, he paused, and then continued: "What's more, brother Shen, you also have ambitions in your heart, are you willing to hide in the rural landscape like this because of Fan Yang Lu's rebellion?"

Xiao Jingyao's words caused ripples in Shen Rui's heart.
