Rebirth of the ghost concubine of the confused country

Chapter 41
"Um……"

After bowing his head in thought for a moment, Zhu Zixin raised his head and said, "It's all about women's affairs. Why is King Ji interested in these things?"

Seeing that she refused to speak, Nan Gongxun's eyes flashed a cold light, but although he quickly covered it up, Zhu Zixin still caught it.

"Zixin, you must have heard that because my mother and concubine committed some crimes, my father gave me a small warning. You also know that the ministers in the court are all stalking. The queen took this opportunity Fanning the flames and wooing my people everywhere, in just a few days, several ministers have already defected to the crown prince."

Glancing at Zhu Zixin, she found that she was picking off a camellia and sniffing it under her nose, as if she hadn't listened to her words at all. Nan Gongxun's eyes darkened again. He, Nan Gongxun, King Ji, had never been Has a woman ever been so negligent?But at this time, he was in peace, and for the sake of the power of Zhu Zixin's grandfather, General Cai, he could only endure.

Swallowing his saliva, he forced himself to swallow the humiliation, and said again: "Zixin, you are the concubine the emperor pointed out to this king. This king thinks, you must also want me to be the crown prince, right?"

Hearing this question, Zhu Zixin paused, but still did not answer Nan Gongxun's words.

"Zixin!"

Nan Gongxun pulled Zhu Zixin's arm, forced her to look at him, and said, "Zixin, are you listening to me?"

"His Royal Highness, please respect yourself!"

Zhu Zixin said coldly, and after she finished speaking, she turned around slowly and said, "Zixin is only a girl, and she is only 13 years old, so I don't know how to help His Highness Prince Ji."

Seeing that although her attitude was cold, but there seemed to be room for her words, Nan Gongxun's eyes flashed a glimmer of hope, and he said anxiously: "You don't need to do anything, as long as you say a few nice words for me to your grandfather, General Cai, that's fine." It's fine. If I can become the prince in the future, I will definitely not look forward to General Cai's favor today, and you, Zixin, you must be my future queen, Nan Gongxun."

"Queen?" Zhu Zixin read these two words in his mind.

"Hehe, empress! At the beginning, it was because of this promise that Zhu Zixin worked hard to learn martial arts and please Nan Gongxun. Her grandfather, who was originally neutral because of her relationship, finally fell to Nan Gongxun's side. , helped him, step by step towards success, and sat on the position of Ninth Five-Year Supreme, but what happened? He found an unfounded crime just after he came to power, executed his grandfather, and sent his uncle to the frontier. And she... that person 彘, she will never forget!
In fact, Zhu Zixin was very puzzled at the beginning. Today, Nan Gongxun would be so open and honest with her and ask her to help him. It was only then that she realized that he was putting everything in his hands. The more he did this, the more he showed The panic in his heart.He was afraid, afraid that everything he had managed so hard would fall apart because of his mother's fault, and he was afraid that the queen and the prince would beat him back to his original form.Now he only has Zhu Zixin as a life-saving straw, so he can only come to beg her.

This may be the reason why he always wanted to withdraw the engagement at first, but later refused.It's just a pity that Zhu Zixin didn't understand this back then, but now, she is not so stupid.

"His Royal Highness, Zixin understands what you mean! It's getting late, and the poetry meeting must have ended, so Zixin will leave."

Zhu Zixin turned around, her tone was gentle and polite, but she didn't say a word about whether she would help Nan Gongxun, and just left in a hurry.

"Zixin..."

Nan Gongxun wanted to say something more, but after only two words, Zhu Zixin nodded at him, turned around, and left with Xiaocui.

Nan Gongxun stood where he was, watching Zhu Zixin step by step get farther and farther away from him until he was completely invisible. He finally burst out and punched the tea tree beside him. The leaves on the tree were crushed by his The fists fell one after another, like a rain of green leaves.

"Miss, this servant has been sweating for you just now! This servant is afraid that King Ji is angry and will hit you! Or, he will find an opportunity to deal with you!"

After walking a long way, Xiao Cui turned her head and saw Nan Gongxun getting angry, she stroked her chest and said.

"Hehe, he doesn't dare to do that yet!"

Zhu Zixin smiled slightly.

"Why?"

Xiaocui didn't understand and asked.

"Because I'm still useful to him, and he won't hurt me unless it's absolutely necessary."

Zhu Zixin analyzed.

"But, in case, in the future, he learns that you will help the queen and the prince, will he find an opportunity to deal with you?"

Xiao Cui was still worried.

"This one……"

After thinking for a while, Zhu Zixin said: "Now, I can't control so much anymore! Right now, the time limit given to me by the queen is only two days. If I don't answer her after two days, my life will be gone. So , let’s focus on the present first.”

Zhu Zixin said helplessly.

As for Nan Gongxun, one day anyway, she will openly become his opponent. Before, she felt that she was weak and weak, so she did not dare to confront him head-on, but now things have forced her to this point up.She couldn't care less.

Back at Hou Mansion, it was already completely dark.

As soon as Zhu Zixin got off the carriage, he saw a black figure approaching the door in a hurry, and asked, "Zixin, why did you come back so late? You don't know how anxious I am, and I sent people to cover the entire princess mansion." I didn't see you anymore, so I had to come back first, what happened?"

It turned out to be Zhu Ziyi.Seeing that he cared about her so much, Zhu Zixin couldn't help but her heart warmed up. She smiled slightly and said, "Brother, it's nothing. I just saw a piece of camellia blooming in the princess mansion, so I admired it for a while. I'm so glad that I made my brother worry." Er'er's mistake! Xiner apologized to elder brother!"

"Hmph, you're the only one with a sweet mouth! As long as you're fine, come into the house!"

Everyone loves to listen to good words, and Zhu Ziyi is the same. Seeing his sister talking like this, his face suddenly showed a doting expression, and then he said: "You! You are so playful!"

"Hehe, brother, Xin'er wasn't in the mood originally, it's because the elder brother brought Zixin out for a visit and felt better, that's why he's in such a good mood!"

Zhu Zixin said as he walked.

In fact, she was just provoking this topic, and she still wanted to ask something about the prince's dark room.

"Remember, don't tell what happened today. Do you remember?"

After hearing her words, Zhu Ziyi really reminded her.

"Brother, since it's so important, why did you take Xiner there?"

Zhu Zixin asked.

"Xin'er, I just want you to know who is the one who is worthy of the heavy responsibility. The crown prince is the right one. Only he can carry forward our Yue Kingdom! As early as five years ago, the eldest brother traveled to several countries with the crown prince. , I saw a lot of things, and at the same time, I also learned about the prince's personality during those days! In the future, you will naturally know his personality gradually."

While walking, Zhu Ziyi made a long phone call to Zhu Zixin.

"But why isn't daddy a member of the princeling party?"

Zhu Zixin asked again.

"Hmph, daddy is a man who sees the wind and sticks to the wind. In order to preserve his position, he has always remained neutral. I guess, if the crown prince and the king of Ji hadn't decided the outcome, he would not have easily taken refuge in that side. "

Zhu Ziyi said.

"In that case, father doesn't even know about elder brother taking refuge in the crown prince?"

Zhu Zixin guessed.

"Well, Xin'er, I only told you about this matter, you must never tell others, let alone let father know, understand?"

Zhu Ziyi exhorted again and again.

"I know. Brother, you also know that King Ji has a marriage contract with me. If you tell me this, you are not afraid that I will tell him?"

Zhu Zixin stopped, stood in front of Zhu Ziyi, and looked at him in the dark.asked.

Just now, a picture flashed through her mind, causing endless regret in her heart. This may be the emotion of Zhu Zixin before, but at this moment, she should be fortunate that she is a person who can predict the future !Otherwise, the person in front of her who really cared about her would also be killed by her!

At that time, because Zhu Ziyi belonged to the prince, and because of her betrayal, after the prince was killed, Zhu Ziyi was not spared from death.That Zhu Zixin back then begged that person to spare her brother, but that person didn't think of her at all, and killed her elder brother mercilessly!
"Brother, I'm sorry! This time, I will never let such a thing happen again!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Zixin secretly said to Zhu Ziyi in her heart, although Zhu Zixin was not her at that time, but at this time, she had already regarded herself as her, and she felt that she had an obligation to say sorry to Zhu Ziyi.

"Silly sister! That person is unreliable! Big brother will make plans for you! You are still young, and big brother will arrange things for you in the future, so don't worry!"

When Zhu Ziyi saw his sister asking this question suddenly, he reached out to stroke her head dotingly and said.

After finishing speaking, he paused, and said again: "In the future, stay away from that person! Remember! Mother entrusted you to me when she was dying, and I will make you happy! Good sister, you are still young If you don’t understand the dangers of the human heart, then let Big Brother protect you from the wind and rain, and plan your future for you!”

Plan a future for her!
It turned out that the elder brother had been planning for her all along!How can such a big brother not move Zhu Zixin?
"Brother, don't worry! I won't disappoint you!"

Zhu Zixin shook Zhu Ziyi's hand, and said as if to promise.

She thought that in the future, she would definitely help her eldest brother and the crown prince to sit on the throne of the emperor. The eldest brother is the crown prince's man, so he will definitely do something in the future, and she is the one who contributes to the flames.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Zixin looked around, and said again: "It's getting late, brother, let's go back and rest. Xin'er is tired too!"

"Okay, Xin Er is good to rest, and the elder brother will go."

Seeing that Zhu Zixin had already been sent to the gate of Dongli Courtyard without knowing it, Zhu Ziyi said in relief.

"Well, brother, go slowly!"

Zhu Zixin leaned slightly.

Zhu Ziyi turned around and strode away.
