Chapter 9: Because I miss you
"I still let me call you by your name, but you have always called yourself me in front of me, how dare I call you by your name?" Qiu Luoxue looked at Xia Zimo and said.
"That's ...... Then I won't call myself me before you anymore, just call me by my name, and be so kind. Xia Zimo said.
"Sub...... Mo "Qiu Luoxue originally watched Xia Zimo call out his name affectionately, and suddenly felt funny, laughed, and said while laughing: "It feels so strange to suddenly call your name like this."
"Then I'll call you Luo Xue too, I heard Ziyan call you that last time." Xia Zimo said.
In this way, Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo agreed that they would no longer call each other honorific titles when there was no one in the future, and began to call each other by their names. Xia Zimo has really changed a lot for Qiu Luoxue, and has done a lot for her. It's just that Qiu Luoxue is still struggling with the concubines in his palace, which is indeed a problem that is not easy to solve.
However, now that the two of them are getting along very well, Qiu Luoxue no longer deliberately avoids Xia Zimo, just let it be, it is the most beautiful appearance of love.
Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo looked at each other and smiled, the sunset was going down little by little, and before they knew it, they ushered in the night.
After a peaceful night, Xia Zimo received news from the capital the next day, and Xia Ziyan told him in the letter that Jiang Guifei came to test yesterday. Xia Zimo also knew that he had to return to Beijing. But fortunately, Annan City is not too far from the capital, and you can come here in the future.
"Return to Beijing immediately." After reading the letter, Xia Zimo said to Hanshan.
"Now? Don't you see Prime Minister Qiu? Hanshan asked.
"She went to investigate the counterfeit money, it is estimated that it will be a long time, let's go, we must rush back before tomorrow morning." Xia Zimo said.
Subsequently, Xia Zimo and Hanshan did not delay, and simply packed up and set off. Soon after they left, Qiu Luoxue and the others returned.
Although Qiu Luoxue kept saying that she wanted to stay away from Xia Zimo and not be tempted by him, she still couldn't deceive her heart. Just like now, as soon as she came back from outside, she looked for Xia Zimo everywhere, but she couldn't find it after looking around.
"What about the two of them? Why is it gone? Qiu Luoxue said after looking around.
Sanqian came over with tea and said, "The emperor and Brother Hanshan have returned to Beijing, and they just left."
"Back to Beijing? Why did you go back all of a sudden? Qiu Luoxue asked in surprise.
"How can the emperor stay here all the time, he has to deal with government affairs." Zhang Yunwen said.
"But why don't you take me away?" Qiu Luoxue pouted and said, looking very unhappy.
"Because you've been demoted here." Nie Yuan told the truth, and said, "Wait, if the matter of counterfeit money is dealt with, you can return to Beijing."
"But there is no news of the counterfeit money, and no one has received the counterfeit money in the past few days, will it not be necessary because we know that we will check it again?" Qiu Luoxue asked.
"Probably not, they certainly won't just produce a few counterfeit coins, and since they do, they will definitely find a way to get it into the market. We don't have to rush and wait for them to show their feet. Zhang Yunwen analyzed it comprehensively.
"By the way, Nie Shishi, did the shadow guard send you a message? Have you found counterfeit money anywhere else? Qiu Luoxue asked again, looking at Nie Yuan with her head in her hand.
"No counterfeit money has been found in other areas." Nie Yuan replied.
"It's strange, is the place where the counterfeit money was made in Annan City?" Qiu Luoxue muttered, this is also a possible thing.
After a few more days, there was still no news about the counterfeit money, and Qiu Luoxue was much more relaxed. This afternoon, when she had nothing to do, she took a bath in her room.
A charcoal fire burns in the stove to add warmth to the room, and she bathes in a wooden barrel with the heat rising, and it is also a comfortable experience to bathe in a warm place in winter.
In this comfortable environment, Qiu Luoxue was sleepy unconsciously, accompanied by a warm breath, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she finally fell asleep.
When Qiu Luoxue woke up again, when she opened her eyes, she saw Xia Zimo sitting not far away, and there was another layer of gauze between them, but the gauze was very thin, and they could vaguely see each other.
"What's the matter, am I dreaming?" Qiu Luoxue saw Xia Zimo through the curtain and muttered to herself.
"It's not a dream, I'm back." Xia Zimo said that in order to see Qiu Luoxue, he came after the morning court, and he hurried to come, it was already in the afternoon.
After coming, he went directly to Qiu Luoxue's room, but he didn't expect her to be taking a bath and still asleep.
"Isn't it a dream?" Qiu Luoxue muttered, if it's not a dream...... Is that the reality? Damn! I took a bath...... What to do, it's embarrassing.
"Ah, people are taking a bath? Why did you come in and ...... Wow, are you a pervert, Your Majesty? Don't get out yet. Qiu Luoxue said in a panic, she was already at a loss, so she could only drill into the barrel as much as possible to avoid running out.
Xia Zimo saw Qiu Luoxue's reaction, with a smile on his face and in the corners of his eyes, it seemed that he had worked tirelessly to come from the capital, which was a correct choice.
"Why didn't you lock the door when you were taking a shower, besides, I didn't know you were taking a shower when I came in." Xia Zimo said.
"I let the weak water watch from the outside." Qiu Luoxue said anxiously and angrily, and criticized Xia Zimo again: "I didn't know just now, don't you know now?" Don't get out yet. ”
Xia Zimo deliberately teased Qiu Luoxue and said, "But I don't want to go out."
"Hey, you're the king of a country, how can you do this?" Qiu Luo Xue shouted angrily.
"It's really not good, should I go in?" Xia Zimo said deliberately, and after speaking, he got up and prepared to go in.
"Xia Zimo, you bastard, you dare to come in and try it......" Qiu Luoxue was angry and scolded directly, in fact, she was more shy.
Xia Zimo didn't really go in, and said, "Anyway, you will be my woman sooner or later, and it will be the same when you look at it."
"Oh, no, I've already seen it." Xia Zimo said again, "When you were injured, in order to prevent your identity as a woman from being discovered, I personally helped you with medicine every day." ...... with my noble hands"
Xia Zimo raised his left hand to take a look, and said, "It doesn't seem to be this, it's this." As he spoke, he raised his right hand to look again.
"What do you have to do to get out?" Qiu Luoxue saw that the hard one couldn't work, so she could only come to the soft one, and asked in a pleading tone.
"Come marry me and be my queen." Xia Zimo blurted out.
"Don't." Qiu Luoxue's refusal was not thought out at all.
"Then I'm in." Xia Zimo said and planned to open the curtain.
"Don't come in." Qiu Luoxue warned.
Xia Zimo didn't really want to go in, he just sat down, he was very satisfied with Qiu Luoxue's reaction, and said: "I'll let you go today, I'll ask you again after a while, you should think about whether you want to be my queen."
Xia Zimo left after speaking, so vaguely seeing Qiu Luoxue's figure, he was afraid that if he continued to stay, he would do something to hurt Qiu Luoxue.
The weak water was originally guarding the door of Qiu Luoxue's room, but after a long time, she was afraid that the water would be cold, so she went to get hot water for Qiu Luoxue, but she didn't expect this vacancy, Xia Zimo went in.
"How could the emperor be ......" Weak Shui asked in surprise when he saw Xia Zimo coming out of it.
"I have something to do with the prime minister, you can go in." Xia Zimo immediately took out the emperor's shelf, and left without saying anything.
"Ahh The weak water was immersed in surprise, and said in a flurry manner, forgetting to even say the words of sending the emperor.
When the weak water entered Qiu Luoxue's room, Qiu Luoxue had already dressed and came out.
"Why are you here now, what did you just do? Somebody came in. Qiu Luoxue complained when she saw the weak water.
"I'm going to get hot water." Weak Water said aggrievedly.
Qiu Luoxue saw her aggrieved appearance, and originally planned to teach her a good lesson, but she couldn't bear it, so she could only say: "There will be a next time, see if this son doesn't clean you up."
Qiu Luoxue looked angry when she saw Xia Zimo again, especially when she thought of what Xia Zimo said, "I've seen it all, when you were injured." As soon as she thought that her body had been seen by Xia Zimo, she felt very awkward.
"Hey...... Really, why did I have to save him in the first place? Qiu Luoxue said regretfully.
"That's right, if you don't save me, I won't know your woman's identity, and if I don't know, I won't be so attached to you, and then I won't have to come here from the capital to see you." Xia Zimo didn't know when he appeared behind Qiu Luoxue and said.
The two stood in the courtyard as the moon cast a cold light on the snow on the ground.
"That's right, why did you come all the way here?" Qiu Luoxue said.
"Because I miss you." Xia Zimo did not hide his inner thoughts at all.
Qiu Luoxue didn't expect him to say this, and she didn't know how to answer for a while. At this time, a gust of wind blew, blowing the snow on the branches of the trees and falling, which happened to fall on Xia Zimo.
After Qiu Luoxue saw it, he wanted to step forward to help him pat off the snow on his body, but he didn't expect his feet to slip, and the whole person fell towards Xia Zimo.
Xia Zimo quickly held Qiu Luoxue's arm, and with a little force, the two of them fell to the ground at the same time. Qiu Luoxue lay on Xia Zimo's body, and Xia Zimo was lying on the snow.
Nie Yuan suddenly came to look for Qiu Luoxue at this time, and when he happened to see this scene, a sad look appeared on his face. Although he had decided to only protect her by Qiu Luoxue's side, it would be a little uncomfortable to see his sweetheart with other men.
The atmosphere between Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo over there was just right, and Nie Yuan was sad alone. Because he didn't want to let such a scene hurt his heart again, Nie Yuan turned around and left lonely. His steady, powerful footprints landed on the snow, leaving a trail of marks. But the fate of this line of footprints, either covered by snow or replaced by other footprints, will not wait to be discovered by Qiu Luoxue after all, just like Nie Yuan's feelings, Qiu Luoxue will never find out.
