Traitor and Concubine Quan

The next day, the emperor issued an imperial edict to marry Lin Pin.

As for the object of the marriage gift, it was Ruan Xixi, the niece of Concubine Liang in the palace and the newly adopted daughter of Xie Feng, the imperial censor.

Jade Palace, study room.

Liang Yuankang looked at Jin Shengxuan with a gloomy expression. This is the most powerful counselor under his command, but this time such a mess happened, which made him feel very disappointed. "Shengxuan, Ruan Xixi, why didn't you have any news beforehand? Who is she, what power is behind her, how long has she stayed with Lin Pin, why did she suddenly become Yu Shi Zhongcheng's adopted daughter and marry Lin Pin? Who doesn't know that Xie Feng is Lin Pin's person, and the adopted daughter he just adopted was given a marriage. This is definitely not a coincidence, nor is it a sudden interest in Lin Pin. This matter is definitely planned for a long time, but it is ridiculous What's more, you didn't notice it at all beforehand!"

Jin Shengxuan lowered his head and cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, it's a dereliction of duty. I will find out the details of Miss Ruan later and report to Your Highness. As for Lin Pin's marriage, it may not be as complicated as we thought. Because the princess of Nanhuo has sent letters several times. Asking Lin Pin to go to Nanhuo to be a county horse, according to the emperor's love for Lin Pin, it is reasonable for them to want to use this marriage to keep Lin Pin."

King Yu frowned and said, "But this king thinks that there is a conspiracy behind this Miss Ruan who suddenly appeared, and she was the woman you followed that day?"

Several thoughts flashed in Jin Shengxuan's mind. Facing Jade King's questioning, he took sides for the first time, shook his head and said, "It's not her. I met that woman face to face. She has excellent martial arts, but Ruan Xixi doesn't know martial arts."

The Jade King pondered carefully, "Is Lin Pin only interested in this woman's beauty? This king still finds it unbelievable." After pondering for a while, he turned to face Jin Shengxuan and said, "From what you have seen, what is Ruan Xixi's beauty like? ?”

Jin Shengxuan said sincerely, "You can't make things happen."

The Jade King smiled with great interest, "Even if you describe her like that, this king is also somewhat interested in her. I must find a chance to meet this woman who has moved Lin Pin's heart."

"Your Highness is going to attend Lin Pin's big wedding?" Jin Shengxuan asked.

King Yu smiled evilly, "No matter what, this king will give Lin Pin a big gift. Moreover, this king thinks that something interesting will happen at his wedding."

The king's brother was too quiet on this matter, maybe he was waiting for the opportunity, the king always felt that he would do something, just when Lin pin got married.

After Jin Shengxuan returned to the mansion, he received the news that Gu Lei had woken up.He hurried to see Gu Lei, and after talking in detail, he sent someone to deliver a letter to Ruan Xixi.Thinking of seeing Ruan Xixi again in private, Jin Shengxuan felt both anticipation and nervousness from the moment he sent the letter.

He stood in front of Gu Lei's door packing his luggage, looking at the only gravel path in front of the court, and began to look forward to the arrival of the beautiful woman.

The leaves rustled in front of the door, and the beauty's face flashed in Jin Shengxuan's mind.The erratic shadow, the perfect face, and the elegant movements are all memorable.

How could such a person marry Lin Pin?

She should belong to oneself, and only oneself can match her.

But looking at her talking about Lin Pin, it doesn't seem like she hates him.She said that she was a spy from Heguang Villa, but when she asked Gu Lei just now, she found that Gu Lei had a vague admiration for her.If it's just a simple beautiful woman, can the majestic Master Gu Shaozhuang and the leader of the martial arts alliance be so favored?

According to Bao Lei's arrogant temperament, this is unlikely.

So who is this mysterious girl, why is her lightness skill so superb, and why is she able to lurk beside Lin Pin?All of this is a mystery, which makes Jin Shengxuan entangled.

He clearly made up his mind to guard against this girl, but when she appeared on the pebble-paved road and came towards him lightly, Jin Shengxuan felt as if a light appeared in front of him, and he couldn't recover.

It wasn't until Ruan Xixi stared at him with her hands behind her back that Jin Shengxuan came back to his senses and greeted, "The girl came so fast."

Ruan Xixi said, "Gu Lei is awake? Is he okay?"

When Jin Shengxuan heard her directly calling Gu Lei's name, he felt a little pimple in his heart, but his face was still gentle, "Mr. Gu is recovering, and there is no serious problem. He just needs to rest for a while to recover."

Ruan Xixi nodded at him and said, "Thank you Mr. Jin for saving me, may I go see him first?"

Jin Shengxuan got out of the way, and said sideways, "Of course you can, please come inside, girl. I have asked everyone to back down, girl can rest assured to discuss important matters with Leader Gu, and I will guard outside. If something happens, girl and leader Gu You can order anytime."

Ruan Xixi thanked, "Young Master Jin is thoughtful, thank you very much."

Hearing her voice, Jin Shengxuan was like honey in his throat, and said happily, "Girl, you're welcome."

Ruan Xixi entered this hidden room, and saw Gu Lei lying on a bamboo bed inside, covered with a thick blanket.Hearing someone move, Gu Lei opened his eyes.His face was a little thinner, and his complexion was quite pale. All of this was a manifestation of excessive blood loss and internal injuries. He did suffer a lot.

Ruan Xixi sat on a small stool at the head of the bed, twisted the towel sideways, and gently wiped Gu Lei's cheeks. Seeing Gu Lei's eyes staring at her for a moment, Ruan Xixi thought of Gu Jin, and couldn't help rolling A few drops of hot tears came out, and he covered his face and sobbed, "Gu Lei, your eyes are very similar to Uncle Gu..."

When Gu Lei spoke, his voice was hoarse and deep, with a feeling of powerlessness, "I watched my father die in front of me, but I couldn't do anything... I can only run away, use all my strength to run away After leaving that hell on earth, we were all poisoned, and the people of the Son of Heaven started killing us, no matter who it was, the ground was covered in red blood..."

After he talked about it, the originally firm eyes became soft and helpless at this moment.Even though he became famous at a young age and practiced superb martial arts, he thought he was invincible in the world and could be superior, but he didn't want to be slaughtered overnight. Seeing his father, friends, and relatives die in front of him one by one, he couldn't help it. Moving, unable to save, this is undoubtedly the greatest devastation for a man with strong self-esteem.

Hearing him sobbing softly, Ruan Xixi's heart also softened. She sat on the edge of the bed and gently hugged Gu Lei's head, letting him cry on her body.Although her eyes were also red, she was much calmer than Gu Lei, and asked while patting his back, "So, Uncle Gu is really dead?"

"Yeah." Gu Lei leaned against Ruan Xixi's arms, feeling much more at ease.

"Is it someone sent by the emperor to do it?"

Gu Lei said, "Yes, they are the Forbidden Army trained by the emperor. They even came in wearing the Forbidden Army's clothing. The weapons and accessories they used are undoubtedly used by the Forbidden Army. All of this is true."

"What the emperor wants is the daughter of the Yuan family. Since he has already got it, why does he want to slaughter Heguang Villa?"

Gu Lei straightened up, faced Ruan Xixi, and said through gritted teeth, "The Son of Heaven is a lunatic! Does he need a reason to kill someone?!" Seeing the expression on Ruan Xixi's face, he knew that she would not accept this reason, So he said again, "All this may be because of Lin Pin."

"Lin Pin?" Ruan Xixi looked at Gu Lei.Gu Lei seemed to want to push everything on Lin Pin. He had done such a thing before, and now he is going to do it again?

Gu Lei said, "The emperor has a strange feeling for Lin Pin. Lin Pin is the emperor's slave. He was wronged in Anyang Mansion, and the emperor took my Heguang Villa to vent his anger..."

"Gu Lei," Ruan Xixi didn't want to hear any more, stood up and looked down at Gu Lei and said, "Uncle Gu, what did he tell you before he died?" She wanted to know how much Gu Lei knew about the letter asking for help.

Gu Lei looked up at her and felt that her attitude had changed a lot compared to before.He replied, "Father didn't have time to explain anything to me in the future. He was stabbed to death with a sword, and I don't know what happened after that."

But Ruan Xixi found it strange that Lin Pin said that Gu Jin had swallowed the distress letter before he died, but now according to what Gu Lei saw, Gu Jin didn't have time to swallow the letter.

"Gu Lei, tell me everything about that day in detail." Ruan Xixi said seriously.

Gu Lei saw that her expression was different, so he asked, "Is there anything I missed?"

Ruan Xixi shook her head, "There is one thing I must confirm."

Confirm whether you lied or Lin Pin lied.

So Gu Lei told Ruan Xixi what happened that day in detail.

Jin Shengxuan was waiting for Ruan Xixi to make tea in a thatched pavilion outside. He didn't have no arrangements at all. There was actually a big chamber under the bed where Gu Lei was resting, where a child could hide.He trained such a child just to be able to eavesdrop on the people inside this room at some point in the future.

When Ruan Xixi came out, he could see it from one side.The fragrance of tea wafted, and the man came out of the house in a short while and stood at the door.The expression on her face was pale, as if she had heard some unsatisfactory news.

Gu Lei has always refused to reveal her identity, but it doesn't matter, the child hidden underneath will tell Jin Shengxuan all the truth.

"Miss, can I have a sip of tea with Jin here?" Jin Shengxuan's brocade clothes, jade crown, sword-edged eyebrows, in terms of appearance, are also very handsome.

Ruan Xixi remembered that when he first met him, he was in a panic and chased a carriage to death.In fact, at that time, she already knew who was in the carriage, and who was the young man she saw.

The fish entered the net, Ruan Xixi originally thought that Jin Shengxuan owed her a favor in order to repay her in the future.But what she didn't want to let him fall into was a love net.

"Since Mr. Jin has kindly invited you, I will be disrespectful." Ruan Xixi sat down calmly, smiling at Yanyan Jin Shengxuan.
