Concubine's true colors

Chapter 38: Prince Rui's Rescue
Xiao Jinxuan lost her mind, not because she was greedy to look at the other person's handsomeness, after all, after seeing Zhou Xianyu's face that turned all sentient beings upside down, those who looked at other people would be slightly inferior.

And she lost her mind because of her previous life, she almost died in the hands of this, His Highness Prince Rui many times.

Ji Lingfeng is indeed a rare talent if he doesn't talk about his character. He was the person His Highness relied on the most during the battle between His Highness the Second Highness and the crown prince.

And Prince Rui, who supported the prince, naturally regarded him as a thorn in his side, poisoned, assassinated, and assassinated many times, wanting to get rid of him quickly.

At that time, Xiao Jinxuan ate poisonous snacks for Ji Lingfeng, and was hunted down as a double, all of these were written by Prince Rui.

There was even one time, His Highness Prince Rui kidnapped her directly, originally to force Ji Lingfeng to submit, but her good husband in her previous life didn't care about her life at all, and in the end it was Prince Rui who said she was useless She was let go, and that was her escape.

If we talk about the previous life, during the years when she and Ji Lingfeng shared hardships, who was she hated and feared the most, apart from this Prince Rui, there was no other person.

Now that they are human beings in two lifetimes, she would ask for help from this former enemy and talk to each other calmly. This feeling is really strange.

Zhou Xianrui saw this little girl ten years younger than him looking straight at him, and couldn't help but smile again.

He jokingly asked: "Why, I was so scared, then the king will take back what he just said, you are still a little girl."

Xiao Jinxuan blinked her eyes, came back to her senses, said with a slight smile: "His Royal Highness Prince Rui was joking, Jinxuan is just a girl, so she doesn't deserve your previous praise."

Zhou Xianrui took a deep look at Xiao Jinxuan, smiled, but didn't say anything.

Turning around to look at the sixth prince, taking a panoramic view of the other party's panic, Zhou Xianrui said calmly: "Sixth brother, why don't you talk anymore? If you can't give me a suitable reason, you people, I can only make troubles by gathering crowds. All arrested."

The sixth prince's body trembled, the calmer the fifth brother's voice, the more panicked he would be.

He glanced distressedly at the guards who were kneeling on the ground lined up. He didn't bring many people with him this time. Without them, he would be tied up when he was thinking about what to do.

Enduring the fear in his heart, the sixth prince smiled uglier than crying and said: "Fifth brother, it's that Xiao Jinxuan who is bewitching people here, and even forcing Mr. Song to open a warehouse to release food, making people panic. My brother, I am afraid that it will cause trouble." Worse influence, this is what will take her down."

But Zhou Xianrui smiled, then looked at the sixth prince with cold eyes, and said slowly: "People are in panic, that's because the people can't eat and they can't see hope. Now the fourth lady is just expressing the wishes of the people, what's wrong. Song Peng, you are guilty."

Song Peng, who was listening to the two princes' theory at the side, did not expect that Zhou Xianrui would suddenly point the finger at him, Dang even knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Your Highness Prince Rui has learned from you, I don't know what happened to the criminal."

Zhou Xianrui stared at Song Peng's figure with deep eyes, and said in a low voice: "As a parent and official, in the face of natural disasters, I don't know how to adapt. I would rather watch the people starve to death and freeze to death than provide food for disaster relief. In peacetime, you are called mediocre and useless." , You deserve to be damned in such an emergency, yet you dare to ask this king, what is your crime?"

Seeing sweat on Song Peng's head, he didn't dare to distinguish a word, just knelt there and kowtowed again and again, sincerely and fearfully.

Prince Rui wore a golden dragon sword, and his words and deeds were as if His Majesty was there in person. Song Peng dared to argue with Xiao Jinxuan, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Prince Rui.

After taking care of Song Peng, Zhou Xianrui looked at the sixth prince again, and said solemnly: "I know that the sixth brother and Master Song have always been close, but you shouldn't be indiscriminate. You should defend such a muddled official, but as a prince, you don't care. Going to listen to the voices of the people, as a brother of the emperor, I really feel very sad."

The Sixth Prince was already afraid of Prince Rui, so he quickly lowered his head when he heard the words, not to mention refuting, even daring to defend himself.

Seeing Zhou Xianrui thought for a while, he said again: "Sixth brother, you are so foolish today, as a brother, I will punish you and go to the Song House to reflect. When did you become loyal and adulterous, and when did you come out?"

The Sixth Prince closed his eyes when he heard the words, knowing that it was over, he was no different from being under house arrest, but Prince Rui made sense in every sentence, and it was his elder brother again.He couldn't help but refute, so he could only agree.

In the end, Zhou Xianrui looked at Ji Lingfeng, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.

I saw him say in a low voice: "Ji Lingfeng, as a guest beside my sixth brother, he did something wrong that he didn't know right from wrong. If you don't dissuade him, you can't escape the responsibility. Today I will give you a staff of thirty, just to make a warning to everyone else." .”

Ji Lingfeng did not refute, but knelt down gracefully, and said in a loud voice: "Prince Rui is wise, Ling Feng is sincerely convinced." After speaking, he bowed.

It's just that when his head hit the cold ground, the corner of his mouth sneered.

In this round, I never expected that Prince Rui would team up with that Xiao Jinxuan, he lost today, even though you have done the disaster relief, I will let you know that good things are not so easy to do!
Xiao Jinxuan who was standing by the side smiled, sure enough, this Prince Rui is Ji Lingfeng's nemesis, he was in the past life, and he still is now, it's really interesting.

And Zhou Xianrui, who was beside her, had a panoramic view of Xiao Jinxuan's smile when he turned his head.

This little girl didn't have a cold face, but she was so sweet when she smiled.

Waving to the people kneeling all around, Zhou Xianrui raised his voice and said: "Everyone, get up quickly, I am in Yangzhou now, and I will never ignore the snow disaster. Everyone is safe and sound, this year is over."

Xiao Jinxuan also said at this time: "Today's five carts of food, I will arrange for people to distribute them on a head-by-head basis. You can come and collect them now. I believe that all of us in Yangzhou will be able to survive this natural disaster with one heart."

Prince Rui represented the imperial family of the Son of Heaven, and Xiao Jinxuan represented Xiao Heng. The two of them repeatedly assured that the common people were so relieved and grateful that they all knelt on the ground again, calling out to Wang Rui for being wise, and Xiao Jinxuan for being a bodhisattva.

Seeing that everything was in order, Xiao Jinxuan was naturally not suitable, so she stayed here all the time, leaving Baishu and Zhuxin to help distribute rice, and she was ready to go back home.

Before getting on the carriage, she found that Wenxin was already sitting in the driver's seat, Xiao Jinxuan said with a smile: "This time, you have invited Prince Rui, you have to do your best, let's go back home, we still have work to do."

In the past few days, she has collected a lot of cotton clothes and herbs. After the disaster relief site is built, these things will be of great use after sorting out.

Although she really wanted to use this snowstorm to make a name for herself, she also really wanted to help these victims.

After all, she has personally experienced this snowstorm, and lost her loved ones because of it. Only those who have experienced this kind of suffering will understand it deeply. Now that she has the ability, she is naturally willing to lend a helping hand to help others.

Wen Xin smiled and said excitedly: "Originally you said that there was a noble person in the inn asking me to invite me, but I never thought that it would be a prince, but your token is still useful, so Prince Rui came with me after seeing it. gone."

As he spoke, he took out the Black Tiger Token from his arms and handed it to Xiao Jinxuan.

Just when Xiao Jinxuan put away the token again, Zhou Xianrui rode over on a big bay red horse, and said with a chuckle, "The black tiger token, the symbol of the Xiao family's lineage, is used to invite people. Break the date."

Xiao Jinxuan saluted, and said with a smile: "Today, I thank His Highness Prince Rui for coming to rescue the siege, but Jinxuan has something else to do, so I have to say goodbye first, and I will definitely come to thank you with a gift in the future."

Today she attracted the other party, but it's not that she can't get out of the body, she just wants to wait for the other party to come to rescue.

It's just that Prince Rui is Ji Lingfeng's nemesis, she has long wanted to make friends with him, and today's matter is the last entry point, not to be abrupt and not to be presumptuous.

Zhou Xianrui nodded, but said: "Seeing that most of the people left behind by the fourth lady are here to help with food distribution, the king is not worried about you going back to the house by yourself. Anyway, you are on the way, so let's go together."

Xiao Jinxuan was taken aback, this Prince Rui was notoriously indifferent and serious, why did he suddenly become enthusiastic today.

But in the end it was someone's kindness, so Xiao Jinxuan couldn't refuse, thanked her again, and then she got into the carriage, and Zhou Xianrui really rode a horse, followed her on the right side of the carriage, and escorted her back home.

Xiao Jinxuan came out today to do business, so she didn't bring anything to pass the time in the car. It was really boring, so she opened the curtain and looked out.

Who would have thought that Zhou Xianrui was covering his mouth with his fist, coughing in a low voice, and snuffing his nose occasionally, obviously suffering from a cold.

Xiao Jinxuan frowned, thought for a while, and said softly: "Your Highness, are you okay, it seems that you are not feeling well."

Zhou Xianrui looked at her, shook his head, and said calmly: "It's just a small typhoid fever, it's not a problem, let Fourth Miss worry about it."

Unexpectedly, following Zhou Xianrui at this moment, a woman in a fine attire rode forward and said dissatisfiedly: "My lord, you still have a high fever, so why are you fine? It’s such a hassle to bother you with a broken sign.”

After the woman finished speaking, she turned her head and gave Xiao Jinxuan a fierce look, her displeasure was not concealed at all.

This woman is tall, slender, heroic, dressed in black and red patterned clothes, with a two-finger-thick long soft whip tied around her waist, her whole body is menacing, she is not an ordinary woman at first glance.

Zhou Xianrui frowned, and said displeasedly: "Chi Ling, when did you talk so much and still not back down?"

The woman named Chi Ling looked anxious, but she didn't say anything after all, but when she rode her horse and turned around, she gave Xiao Jinxuan a sharp look again.

Xiao Jinxuan naturally felt Chi Ling's hostility, but she ignored it, and just said softly: "Prince Rui, it's cold and the road is cold, you really shouldn't be riding a horse now that you're sick, if you don't dislike it, come in the carriage .”

After all, Zhou Xianrui came here this time to relieve her siege, and now that the other party is ill, she can't pretend she didn't see it, so she doesn't say anything with peace of mind.

Zhou Xianrui took a deep look at Xiao Jinxuan, and after a while, he nodded and smiled, as if he agreed to the proposal.

When the carriage moved forward again, the two people sitting opposite each other in the carriage, because they were relatively quiet, no one spoke, and the atmosphere around them was inevitably a little awkward.

Xiao Jinxuan also realized this, coughed lightly, and felt that she should say something.

"Prince Rui, I..."

"Miss Fourth, you..."

As if they had discussed it, the two of them either didn't speak, but now when they spoke, they opened their mouths at the same time.

Looking at each other, both of them smiled, Xiao Jinxuan said softly: "What Prince Rui wants to say, you can say it first."

Zhou Xianrui nodded, and then asked: "I'm just curious. If I hadn't arrived in time today, I'm afraid that the fourth lady would become the soul of my sixth brother's sword. I don't know how the fourth lady will repay me for this favor." .”
