When they arrived in the capital of Beize, Qiu Luoxue and Nie Yuan stayed in an inn, and for safety, the two of them shared a room. After all, I had the experience of living together before, and Qiu Luoxue was nothing. It's just that Nie Yuan is inexplicably a little shy this time, maybe it's because Qiu Luoxue wears women's clothes.

"Here's this." Nie Yuan stretched out his hand and handed Qiu Luoxue something.

Qiu Luoxue looked down and saw that it was a hairpin, which roughly looked like it should be made of jade, and the tail of the hairpin was a white magnolia flower carving, which looked crystal clear and very good-looking.

"Wow, where did you get that, look good." Qiu Luoxue happily took the hairpin and looked at it.

"Just now, when you were bathing, you went out to buy it." Nie Yuan replied.

Qiu Luoxue looked at him with a smile on her face and said, "Oh, that's good, you have this kind of awareness, you can let it out and hook up with the little girl."

"Won't do that." Nie Yuan said.

"Why? It is said that you are not too young, and it is time to get married, Xia Ziyan is the same age as you, look at him, he has already had a group of wives and concubines. Qiu Luoxue said.

Nie Yuan was silent and didn't answer her words, but Qiu Luoxue was also used to it, so she handed the hairpin to Nie Yuan and said, "You help me bring it." As he spoke, he turned his back and handed over his hair to Nie Yuan.

Nie Yuan looked at the hairpin in his hand, and then at Qiu Luoxue's hair, and pinned the hairpin to her hair unfamiliarly. Because he cherishes such an opportunity, he moves slowly and gently. From that focused expression and gentle movements, you can see his intentions, and his eyes reveal wireless feelings. It's just that Qiu Luoxue turned her back to him at this moment, and she didn't see that expression.

The furnishings in the room are all wooden, presenting a classical beauty while inevitably affecting the light of the room. The small flames in the oil lamp emitted a dim yellow light, and the picture of Nie Yuan inserting hairpins for Qiu Luoxue in this room seemed to be frozen into an ancient oil painting. Everything in the picture is yellow, only the hosta is still burning and glowing, which has become an unexpected finishing touch.

Qiu Luoxue reflected her appearance in the bronze mirror, and she could vaguely see the hairpin, she would not have expected that she would keep this hairpin for a long, long time in the future.

"Yikes!" Qiu Luoxue suddenly said, "I suddenly remembered something. She turned her head to look at Nie Yuandao.

"What's wrong?" Nie Yuan asked.

"Imperial Doctor Xu and Concubine Duan, did the two know each other before? Have you heard anything about them? Qiu Luoxue asked, seeing the hosta on her head, she suddenly remembered the matter of the two of them, and remembered the heartache of Xu Zhonghang that day.

"Why did you suddenly ask about this?" Nie Yuan asked.

In order not to arouse Nie Yuan's suspicions, Qiu Luoxue pretended not to care and walked to the table and sat down, while saying, "It's nothing, I just thought of it suddenly, ask."

"They are brother and sister, so they naturally knew each other before." Nie Yuan replied.

"Brother and sister?" This answer was completely beyond Qiu Luoxue's cognition, she said: "Imperial Doctor Xu's surname is Xu, and Concubine Duan's surname is Wu, how can it be a brother and sister?"

"It's not a brother or sister, but it's almost like a brother and sister." Nie Yuan replied.

This time, Qiu Luoxue was even more curious, pointed to the seat in front of her, and said to Nie Yuan, "Sit down and talk." What's going on? What does it mean to be similar to a brother and sister? ”

When Imperial Physician Xu was ten years old, his parents died one after another, and Mrs. Wu was a friend of Imperial Physician Xu's father before his death. Mrs. Wu has no son, and to some extent, Imperial Doctor Xu is his biological son. Nie Yuan said.

After listening to Nie Yuan's words, Qiu Luoxue only felt a thunderbolt flash in her mind. It turned out that even if Xia Zimo did not include Concubine Duan in the harem, it would be impossible for her and Xu Zhonghang to be together. Just ask: How can a son and a daughter get married? It is estimated that Mrs. Wu has never had the idea of letting Xu Zhonghang marry Concubine Duan. So the two of them couldn't be together from the beginning, and their love was a tragedy from the beginning.

"Boom" thunder suddenly sounded, and lightning accompanied by thunder streaked across the dark night sky, bringing a brief burst of light. Almost at the same time, the sky fell drifting heavy rain, and the raindrops the size of beans fell down and fell on the skin, and there was a painful feeling.

A palace maid blocked her head with her hands and ran into Feixia Palace from the outside, not knowing whether she was in a hurry or to avoid the rain, her steps were fast. However, from her later words, we know that she ran so quickly because she was in a hurry.

"Niangniang, Niangniang, Your Majesty suddenly arrived, and he has arrived at the gate of Feixia Palace." The palace maid said anxiously.

The two people who heard her words showed surprised and panicked looks, these two people were Xu Zhonghang and Duanfei.

"The emperor has never been to Feixia Palace, why did he suddenly come today?" Concubine Duan asked puzzled.

"I only know when I see it, you go out and pick up the driver, I'll go out through the window." Xu Zhonghang said, and planned to go over there.

Concubine Duan grabbed his arm and said, "No, there is a Yulin Army outside, and there may be hidden guards, and it is likely to be discovered." Those who act suspiciously in the palace at night will be killed on the spot. It's too dangerous for you to go out like this. ”

"That can't leave you behind." Xu Zhonghang said.

"You are the imperial doctor, you can tell the emperor that you are here to see a doctor for me." Concubine Duan said.

"I'm no longer on duty at the Tai Hospital, and I can't deceive Your Majesty with such an excuse." Xu Zhonghang said.

"Your Majesty has arrived." The voice of the eunuch came from outside the door, and at this time, Concubine Duan felt that this voice was a life talisman.

It's too late, Concubine Duan said: "Your Majesty won't stay here for too long, you go inside and hide first." With that, she walked outside.

As soon as she walked out of the inner room, she met Xia Zimo, and she hurriedly saluted: "The concubine is unwell and has not been able to meet her from afar, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

"Let's be flat." Xia Zimo said, passing by Concubine Duan and walking into the inner room, he did it on the main seat, and the others naturally followed. However, Xia Zimo still ordered Ping to go left and right, leaving only him, Duanfei and Jin Fu.

"Lord Taifu has been away from Beijing for many days, worried about your situation in the palace, and mentioned your current situation in the letter, I came to see you for him today." Xia Zimo said, his attitude was tepid, and it didn't look like he wanted to come.

"The concubines are all right, thank you for your concern." Concubine Duan said that she was full of awe of Xia Zimo, and her sudden arrival this time really surprised her.

Xia Zimo nodded slightly, and said, "Taifu is also going well in Ying'an, you don't have to worry."

Concubine Duan didn't understand why Xia Zimo suddenly came to send a message to herself, from his words, it seemed that he still maintained close contact with his father, but at the beginning, it was obviously he who demoted his father out of the capital. The behavior before and after is unpredictable. However, Concubine Duan is not stupid, although she has doubts in her heart, she doesn't dare to ask directly.

"What I said to you today should not be mentioned to outsiders, and this is also for the sake of Lord Taifu's safety." Xia Zimo said again.

"Father, are you doing something dangerous?" Concubine Duan looked up at Xia Zimo and asked, hoping to find something from his expression.

However, Xia Zimo's expression did not change, and he did not answer her words, but asked, "I see that your face is not good, is you seriously ill?"

"Your Majesty Xie cares, the concubine is just weak, and it is fine." Concubine Duan replied.

"Take care of yourself in the palace, don't let Master Taifu worry." Xia Zimo said, and said to Jin Fu: "Let Chang Xi come to Feixia Palace tomorrow."

"Yes." Kim Bok replied.

"It's late at night, you go to bed." After speaking, Xia Zimo actually left.

"Your Majesty is on board." Kim Bok's shrill voice sounded.

"Since Imperial Doctor Xu is the righteous son of Taifu Wu, it is logical for him to enter the court as an official, how did he become an imperial doctor?" Qiu Luoxue asked Nie Yuandao.

"He was indeed an official in the court before, and the official was the commander of Lang." Nie Yuan replied.

"Then why did he become a royal doctor?" Qiu Luoxue asked, in ancient times, entering the court and becoming an official was the right way, wouldn't he be doing his job like this?

"The specific reason is not very clear, but he suddenly resigned three years ago, and then followed Chang Taiyi, who is now the head of Tai Hospital, to study medicine." Nie Yuan said.

"It's only been three years?" Qiu Luoxue was surprised, "Can that work?" The emperor also sent him to help me recuperate, what if I make a mistake? ”

"Although he has only studied for three years, his talent in studying medicine is extremely high, and he is the most favored disciple of Chang Taiyi, and his medical skills are also outstanding among all Tai Doctors." Nie Yuan's words dispelled Qiu Luoxue's concerns.

Regarding Xu Zhonghang's sudden abandonment of official medicine and medical practice, Qiu Luoxue had a rough guess, but she didn't confirm it, so she asked: "Duanfei Niangniang, when did you enter the palace?"

Nie Yuan thought about it carefully and said, "The large-scale selection of concubines after His Majesty's accession to the throne was three years ago, and Concubine Duanniang should have entered the palace at that time."

In this way, the timeline is aligned. Xu Zhonghang and Concubine Duan grew up together since childhood, childhood sweethearts, and it is natural that they are in love. Although the two are destined not to be together, there is no pain of parting when they see each other every day. Three years ago, Concubine Duan entered the palace, which was the beginning of the bitter love between the two. In order to see Concubine Duan often, Xu Zhonghang gave up his official career as a doctor, which is also a kind of courage to pursue love. Until not long ago, Xu Zhonghang was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion to treat Qiu Luoxue's illness, so that they had fewer opportunities to see each other. No wonder when Xu Zhonghang first came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he always wanted to go back to the hospital.

However, Qiu Luoxue is still very sympathetic to the relationship between the two of them, and she admires Xu Zhonghang very much, it is not easy for a man who dares to rob a woman with the emperor. It's a pity that the two of them have been going farther and farther away, and I'm afraid they won't be able to stay together. Is there any way to keep the two of them together? Qiu Luoxue thinks about this question from time to time, if only the emperor could take the initiative to let Concubine Duan out of the palace. He has so many concubines anyway.

So many concubines! Hum! Thinking of this question, Qiu Luoxue suddenly felt a little dissatisfied. However, it is said that Xia Zimo's number of concubines does not affect her, why is she unhappy?
