Chapter 57: Don't Like Me
"I regret it, I regret not sending you away that day, I regret sending you so far away."
"And ...... I miss you. ”
This is what Xia Zimo wanted to say to Qiu Luoxue in person, but he was afraid that after saying this, he would keep Qiu Luoxue away from him. Of course, he could use his authority to tie Qiu Luoxue to his side, but he didn't want to do that, at least not yet. So in the end, I only said these words in my heart.
"I want to say that your handwriting is getting worse and worse, and your writing is getting worse and worse." In the end, Xia Zimo said these words in a joking tone.
"......" Qiu Luoxue was waiting for him to say something that moved her, but she didn't expect it to be these, and she was angry and pushed away Xia Zimo, who was leaning on her shoulder.
"Also, belittling others and improving yourself is the real you, I thought you liked me with that affectionate tone just now. Continue to speak in this tone in the future, so that I will not be misunderstood. Qiu Luoxue said angrily.
"What if I like you?" Xia Zimo asked tentatively.
"Don't like me, the two of us won't end well." Qiu Luoxue said angrily.
After listening to this, Xia Zimo asked seriously, "Why?"
Qiu Luoxue didn't hear his seriousness, and replied: "The two of us are both men, of course we can't like each other, even if we like each other, we can't be together." The emperor is a person who wants to spread branches for the royal family, how can he like a man? ”
"What about you? Will you like men? Xia Zimo asked.
"I also want to continue the incense for the Qiu family." Qiu Luoxue replied vaguely.
Qiu Luoxue's words made Xia Zimo silent, and just after coming out of the emotion of missing her, Xia Zimo fell into another tangled situation: As the king of a country, is it really okay to fall in love with a man? As Qiu Luoxue said, he also bears the responsibility of spreading branches for the royal family, and falling in love with someone who is also a man is not tolerated by etiquette.
This kind of tangled emotion will linger in Xia Zimo's heart for a long time, on the one hand, he can't resist the temptation emanating from Qiu Luoxue's body, and on the other hand, he is imprisoned by etiquette and responsibility. However, if one day he knew that Qiu Luoxue was a woman, how would he view this tangled time?
"Lord Yan and Princess Mu should have already arrived in Nanliang." Qiu Luoxue had dinner in the palace, and after the meal, she remembered the situation of Xia Ziyan and the others, so she asked.
"Today is here, and the letter of state for marriage has also arrived in Nanliang." Xia Zimo replied.
But how can you give them two a marriage? The amorous prince and the delicate and willful princess...... I always feel that the days of Yanwangfu will be very lively in the future. Qiu Luoxue tried to imagine the future situation of the Yan Wangfu, and felt that it was not an ordinary headache.
"That's a safe approach for now. The identity of Princess Da Qinyan is a guarantee for Princess Mu, ensuring her safety after returning to Nanliang. It is also helpful to investigate the violent death of the ancestor of Nanliang. Xia Zimo explained.
"Mentioning this, the sixth prince also asked me to convey my gratitude to His Majesty on his behalf." Qiu Luoxue said.
"What I have provided to him is only the simplest guarantee, and it is up to him to regain the throne." Xia Zimo said that his words evoked Qiu Luoxue's memories when she was in Beize.
After the five princes of Nanliang succeeded to the throne, they received two orders from Xia Zimo: first, Qiu Luoxue and Nie Yuan returned to China immediately, and created a momentum, so that Prime Minister Beize and Emperor Nanliang could get the news. Second, for Xia Ziyan and Su Muyi to marry, the two secretly returned to Nanliang, and the marriage letter will be sent with them.
This also shows Xia Zimo's attitude, that is, to continue to support Su Mufei and complete the previous covenant. In addition to this, it also provides a solution to the problem for the public. These two plans are one bright and one dark, and on the bright side, Qiu Luoxue and Nie Yuan's return to China created the false impression that Daqin no longer supports Su Mufei and Mu Qianqian. secretly asked Xia Ziyan and Su Muyi to return to Nanliang, but to catch them off guard, and by the way, investigate the violent death of the ancestor of Nanliang.
With Xia Zimo's clear attitude, Su Mufei and Mu Qianqian were undoubtedly relieved, and they also took action. Since Cai Chikun wanted to capture Su Mufei and give it to the new lord of Nanliang, it was difficult for him to leave the territory of Beize.
"Hongu has thought of an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible or not." Mu Qianqian said.
"Let's talk about it." Su Mufei said, after all, it is a matter related to himself, and he is still very concerned.
"Cai Chikun wants to catch the sixth prince and send him back to Nanliang, we might as well use his thoughts." Mu Qianqian said.
"Use Cai Chikun to Nanliang...... What does the eldest princess mean is that I will pretend to be arrested and follow Cai Chikun's convoy to Nanliang to return to China? Su Mufei asked.
"It's just to use him to leave Beize, if he is escorted to Nanliang, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the six princes to get out." Mu Qianqian explained.
Xia Ziyan still understood what she meant, nodded and said, "That's right, we can only use Cai Chikun to leave Beize and go outside Beize, and then we will try to rescue you."
"But there is still no way to enter Nanliang, Beize is arresting the six princes here, and Nanliang must be also arresting the six princes." Qiu Luoxue said puzzled.
"The palace can send another mission, and after rescuing the six princes, replace Cai Chikun's mission and help the six princes return to Nanliang smoothly." Mu Qianqian added.
After this series of explanations, Qiu Luoxue suddenly realized that this was a technique of transferring flowers and trees. In this way, Su Mufei would be able to mix in the mission sent by the eldest princess and reach Nanliang smoothly.
When Qiu Luoxue returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion from the palace, it was already dark. The first thing she did after she came back was not to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion first, but to enter the palace to find Xia Zimo. Now that she was finally back in her familiar room, the tiredness of months of running around swept over her, and the sleepiness came so naturally that she soon fell asleep.
In her sleep, she was dazed and fell into the memories of her time in Kitazawa.
"The convoy escorting the Six Princes is about to arrive."
Qiu Luoxue and the others were on the road outside Beize, which was the only way to go to other countries, and they were waiting here for the convoy sent by Cai Chikun to Nanliang to celebrate the new emperor's accession to the throne. Su Mufei was escorted to Nanliang with this convoy. The above words are the report of the shadow guard.
"Got it, tell the others to prepare." Nie Yuan commanded, and then said to Qiu Luoxue: "Wait a while, you will hide here, don't go out." His words were nodded in approval by Qiu Luoxue.
"Please save my imperial brother, please." Su Muyi solemnly asked, although all this was arranged in advance, she was still a little worried.
Nie Yuan didn't answer, but Qiu Luoxue assured her: "Don't worry, with my Nie Shishi here, make sure your imperial brother is okay."
Although the convoy sent by Cai Chikun was also equipped with guards, it was a little worse than the shadow guards under Nie Yuan. In addition, the other party was in the dark, and they were caught off guard by the sudden attack. It will soon be clear who will win and who will win.
Qiu Luoxue watched the scene of the fight from a safe place in the distance, Nie Yuan and Xia Ziyan were the main force, who was higher in the martial arts of the two Qiu Luoxue couldn't see it, but she felt that their moves were very beautiful, obviously they were fighting, but they gave people a kind of graceful and gorgeous dancing. Nie Yuan held a sword, Xia Ziyan used a fan as a weapon, and the two were invincible in the convoy and marched all the way.
Su Mufei, who was escorted in the carriage, heard the movement outside and knew that it was Xia Ziyan and others who came to save him according to the plan. Outsiders have worked so hard, and he can't wait. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the guards in the car, he kicked them down. Although his hands were tied, he got out of the carriage and joined the people who met him outside.
In the evening, Xia Zimo walked to the secret passage in the inner room again, touched the mechanism, and there was a heavy sound inside, and then opened a secret door in front of him. Enter this gate, pass through the long corridor, and you can see Qiu Luoxue.
"Don't like me, the two of us won't end well."
"The emperor is a person who wants to spread branches for the royal family, how can he like a man?"
Xia Zimo was just about to enter the dark passage, Qiu Luoxue's words sounded in his ears again, and the steps he was originally going to take were not taken after all.
If it really can, it won't end well? Xia Zimo asked silently in his heart. Because of such thoughts, because there were too many concerns, on the question of whether to stay close to Qiu Luoxue or away from Qiu Luoxue, he chose the latter again.
"Your Majesty, aren't you going to the Prime Minister's Mansion today?" Jin Fu looked at Xia Zimo, who was standing still in front of the secret passage, and asked.
Xia Zimo sighed deeply and said, "I'm not going." With that, he left the inner room.
Jin Fu muttered puzzledly: "When the Prime Minister was away, he had to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion every day to sit down, and now that he is back, why don't you go?"
"We are the people sent by the eldest princess to take over the gift convoy of Prime Minister Cai Cheng."
Outside Beize, after rescuing Su Mufei, another Beize mission came, but they were the people arranged by the eldest princess.
"I'll go to Nanliang with you, and I'll trouble you on the way." Su Mufei said politely.
"The sixth prince is polite, you are the guest of the eldest princess, and we will do our best to help." The leader of the mission said.
"With the Beize Mission, you should be able to return to Nanliang safely, so let's separate." Xia Ziyan said to Su Mufei.
"Please take care of Muyi." Su Mufei admonished.
Xia Ziyan nodded, no matter what Su Muyi said, he was already his nominal princess, so he naturally had to take more care of it.
"Brother Huang, you also have to take care of yourself." Su Muyi said.
"Okay, don't be sensational, you'll see each other in Nanliang anyway." Qiu Luoxue saw them grinding and chirping, and interrupted impatiently.
"Yes." Su Mufei smiled lightly and said, "It's a pity that I can't see Prime Minister Qiu in Nanliang." ”
"When the situation in Nanliang stabilizes, I will go to play." Qiu Luoxue said with a smile.
"When we meet again, is it Prime Minister Qiu in men's clothes or Prime Minister Qiu in women's clothes?" Su Mufei looked at Qiu Luoxue, who was still wearing women's clothes, and asked meaningfully.
Qiu Luoxue hooked her lips and smiled: "Whether it is men's or women's clothing, I am me."
