"Where have you been? How did you come back? As soon as Qiu Luoxue and Nie Yuan returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xu Zhonghang came over to ask, and when he saw that Qiu Luoxue's face was a little bad, he asked again: "Are you uncomfortable?" Why is your face so bad? ”

Qiu Luoxue casually made a seat and sat down, as if she hadn't buffered from the fright, shook her hand and said, "I'm fine, just rest for a while."

"How can it be okay? Let me take a look at it for you. Xu Zhonghang said that he planned to diagnose Qiu Luoxue's pulse.

But don't look at Qiu Luoxue who is a little weak now, she reacted quite quickly to this matter, and hid her hand in an instant.

"Why are you doing this?" Xu Zhonghang asked, he was really kind enough to see if Qiu Luoxue was okay.

"This should be what I'm asking, what are you going to do?" Qiu Luoxue said.

"Help you check your pulse and see if it's okay." Xu Zhonghang replied.

"Don't want to move my pulse." Qiu Luoxue said with a righteous and awe-inspiring look.

"He hasn't asked me to check his pulse, do you know why? Could it be that there is really some hidden disease? Xu Zhonghang asked Nie Yuandao.

"If he doesn't want to, he won't be consulted." Nie Yuan said, he is very protective of Qiu Luoxue, it seems that he will protect Qiu Luoxue in whatever she does now.

Xu Zhonghang muttered, "Could it really be that there is some hidden disease?"

In fact, he didn't know that the reason why Qiu Luoxue didn't let him diagnose his pulse was because he was afraid that he would find out his true identity. It's just that how long can her daughter's identity be maintained?

"Your Majesty, do you still want the Prime Minister's Mansion to deliver today's dinner?" During dinner, Xia Zimo was eating alone, and Jin Fu asked.

Xia Zimo stopped his chopsticks, pondered for a while, and said, "You don't have to send it."

After speaking, Xia Zimo picked up the chopsticks again, but suddenly remembered Qiu Luoxue's crying face, and instantly lost his appetite for the dishes on the table. He sighed, put down his chopsticks, and said, "Withdraw."

"Childe, how do you arrange today's dinner?" Allure asked.

"Isn't there a palace that will bring dinner?" Qiu Luoxue asked rhetorically, she has been used to eating imperial meals recently.

"There is no dinner in the palace today." Allure said.

"......" Qiu Luoxue was very surprised when she heard this reply, and felt speechless for a moment, but thinking about Xia Zimo, she would not be so petty, so she asked again: "Didn't you send dinner?"

"Yes, not delivered." Allure replied truthfully.

"Heh......" Qiu Luoxue was angry, ran out and shouted outside the door, as if Xia Zimo could hear it.

"It's really stingy, it's too stingy, it's just a quarrel, and I don't even give food, how can I be so stingy as the emperor, hmph, if I don't send it, I won't send it, it's not that I can't afford to eat."

Then she said to herself angrily: "Come on, use the best ingredients for me, cook the best meal, it must be better than what the imperial chef in the palace makes, hum."

Nie Yuan and Qiu Luoxue lived in the same courtyard, so naturally they heard her angry words and unconsciously smiled.

"Commander, Your Majesty asked you to go to the palace." A shadow guard suddenly appeared and said after saluting Nie Yuan.

…………

"Subordinates see the emperor." Nie Yuan said.

"Get up." Xia Zimo said, and after Nie Yuan got up, he asked again, "How is he?"

"What Your Majesty wants to ask is the Prime Minister?" Nie Yuan asked cautiously.

"Who else can I ask you about besides him?"

"The Prime Minister has returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he is currently in good shape." Nie Yuan replied.

"Tell me what he said." Xia Zimo said, ready to listen carefully.

Nie Yuan thought about what Qiu Luoxue said, it seemed that they were all scolding Xia Zimo, and those words couldn't be said to the emperor, so he said, "I didn't say anything."

"I know that he will definitely scold me, you don't have to worry, he has already said it in front of me, I will not punish him." Xia Zimo dispelled Nie Yuan's worries.

Nie Yuan asked with some curiosity, "Since Your Majesty already knows, why do you want to listen to it again?"

"It's just, I just want to hear it." Xia Zimo said.

Although Nie Yuan didn't understand his feelings, he still said what Qiu Luoxue said, "Say that you are cruel, cold-blooded, ruthless, and mediocre. ”

"Looks like I don't have a good impression of me at all." Xia Zimo said, took a deep breath, and accepted Qiu Luoxue's evaluation of him, and asked, "What else did you say?"

"Because you didn't deliver the imperial meal tonight, you are stingy." Nie Yuan said again.

This sentence amused Xia Zimo, and he said, "Really, I thought he would not eat the imperial meal I sent because he was angry."

"It seems that I am even more angry because I didn't send the imperial meal." Nie Yuan thought of the words that Qiu Luoxue shouted before he came, and said again.

Despite Qiu Luoxue's reluctance, the day of execution came. After that day, Xia Zimo ordered Xia Ziyan and Qiu Luoxue to be imprisoned together. Qiu Luoxue sat on the execution ground, looking at the people kneeling on the ground, men, women and children, these innocent voices were about to be buried in her hands, although she was unwilling, but she couldn't do anything, the coldness and cruelty of the superior could only increase the pain of the lower.

The execution was scheduled for noon, the time of the day when the sun was at its strongest, and the sun shone on the earth, which was a symbol of life, but today it represents death. Outside the execution ground, there was also a group of people around, and they couldn't hear what they were talking about.

Qiu Luoxue looked at these scenes and still felt very unfamiliar. Yes, everything in antiquity was strange to her. For a while, she thought she was used to it, but now, she felt so far away from this world, and she was always so out of place.

"It's past noon, it's time to execute." The bell had already sounded at noon, but Qiu Luoxue was still indifferent, and Xia Ziyan, who was sitting next to her, reminded.

Qiu Luoxue looked at the order cylinder placed on the table, under the urging of Xia Ziyan, she reached out to get the order sign inside, but found that her hand was constantly trembling, maybe the power of life was too heavy, and she had to tremble.

How tormented her heart must be, her choice determines the lives of more than a hundred people. No, she wanted to choose, but she couldn't choose, and she couldn't choose. I used to think that when there were two answers, it was difficult to choose which one. Now I find that it turns out that it is just as difficult to have no choice.

Xia Ziyan noticed Qiu Luoxue's abnormality, and also knew that she couldn't accept such a thing for a while, if she was asked to personally give the order to be beheaded, it might have a great impact on her in the future.

He saw Qiu Luoxue's hand trembling and approaching the order tube a little bit, and a trace of distress suddenly flashed in his heart, and he picked up the order sign before Qiu Luoxue, threw it on the ground, and said "Chop".

When Qiu Luoxue was most helpless and in need of help, Xia Ziyan's actions really moved her. She looked at Xia Ziyan gratefully, but before she could say "thank you", an extremely bloody glance filled her eyeballs.

At the order of the executioner, the executioner took a large sip of wine and sprayed it on the knife in his hand, and the blade was very dazzling in the sun, and when the wine was sprayed, a small mist was formed in the air, and the knife lined with it became brighter. When it was all over, the execution began, with five men at once, each under the responsibility of five different executioners, who were to die without the sword of a man. Maybe it was agreed, and at the same time, he raised his knife, without a trace of hesitation, and slashed down the back of those people's necks.

The moment the knife swung down, the head and body were instantly separated, and blood gushed out, staining the knife, splashing on the ground, and also melting into Qiu Luoxue's heart.

"Ah~" Qiu Luoxue, who had never seen this kind of scene, screamed and stumbled up from her seat, this scene had too much impact on her.

Seeing this, Nie Yuan quickly moved in front of her, using his generous body to block the bloody moment for her.

Qiu Luoxue felt that her whole body was trembling, and she buried her head in front of Nie Yuan's chest regardless of everyone's eyes, she needed a support, no matter who it was, as long as she could rely on it for a while, it was always good to avoid those bloody pictures.

Nie Yuan stood straight and motionless, he could feel Qiu Luoxue's trembling, but he couldn't do anything other than block her in front of her. Feeling Qiu Luoxue's trembling, his heart trembled, it was distress for her, it was fear, she was afraid, she was afraid.

The execution continued, although she couldn't see it, but she could hear it, I don't know if it was because she was too sensitive, her hearing was exceptionally good today, she could hear the sound of the knife raised, and she could hear the sound of the head falling to the ground......

In the attic not far away, Xia Zimo stood in front of the window and stared at everything in the execution ground, and naturally saw Qiu Luoxue's panicked expression because of fear.

"Am I being too him?" Xia Zimo said, as if he was asking himself, and he also seemed to be asking Jin Fu beside him.

"Your Majesty is not unreasonable to do this." Kim Bok's words are very neutral.

"Spread my holy decree, stop the execution, and the Lu and Wei clansmen will be demoted to official slaves." After all, Xia Zimo still couldn't bear to let Qiu Luoxue continue to bear this matter, and gave such an order, but he himself was not sure whether this decision would have an impact on the overall situation in the future.

Qiu Luoxue's heart finally couldn't bear this torment, and she gradually felt that her body couldn't support it, even if she leaned on Nie Yuan's arms, she couldn't resist the feeling of dizziness. Finally, she felt the darkness in front of her, and then she fainted.

Nie Yuan caught the fallen Qiu Luoxue in time, and regardless of whether the execution continued, he picked up Qiu Luoxue and left.

"What's wrong with him?" Xu Zhonghang saw Qiu Luoxue being hugged back by Nie Yuan, and asked with concern.

"It should be overly frightened." Nie Yuan put Qiu Luoxue on the bed and covered her with a quilt intimately.

"I'll take a look." Xu Zhonghang volunteered.

Without Qiu Luoxue's stopping, he smoothly touched Qiu Luoxue's vein, but the moment he touched Qiu Luoxue's vein, he frowned unconsciously, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Nie Yuan saw Xu Zhonghang's expression change, and asked with some concern.

"It's okay, it's really too frightened, it's not in the way, just drink some calming medicine." Xu Zhonghang said.
