"The emperor drove to ......"

As soon as Qiu Luoxue got dressed and was about to go to find Xia Zimo, she wore such a voice outside the hall, and soon, Xia Zimo appeared in front of her.

"Weichen see the emperor." After Qiu Luoxue saw Xia Zimo coming, she knelt down and said.

Xia Zimo looked at Qiu Luoxue who was kneeling in front of him, and said coldly to the others: "Everyone, go out."

"Yes."

With Xia Zimo's order, the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace quickly left. Only Qiu Luoxue and Xia Zimo were left in the hall.

"Look up." Xia Zimo looked at Qiu Luoxue who was kneeling on the ground and said.

Qiu Luoxue slowly raised her head and looked at Xia Zimo.

"Tell me your answer." Xia Zimo said.

Qiu Luoxue said slowly: "I don't want to become Your Majesty's woman." Her expression was firm, without a trace of room for negotiation, and it was this firm look that stabbed Xia Zimo fiercely.

At the beginning, Xia Zimo was full of expectations when she came in, and when she saw Qiu Luoxue's miserable white face, she felt very sorry for her. When Qiu Luoxue said "unwillingly", a look of hurt flashed in his eyes, but it quickly turned cold.

He said in a cold tone, "Someone."

Jin Fu heard Xia Zimo's voice outside and immediately entered the hall, only to hear Xia Zimo say: "Prime Minister Qiu Cheng committed the crime of defrauding the king, and he will be put in prison immediately."

The news of Qiu Luoxue's imprisonment soon spread. Everyone thought that she would give up her life to save the emperor, and she should get some reward or something, but she was suddenly thrown into the prison, and the government and the opposition did not understand. Everyone is watching and asking each other for information, but they have not been able to get useful information.

Qiu Luoxue was taken into the prison, and she was already injured, so she was even more uncomfortable. Fortunately, Jin Fu has a little bit of a jailer, and they are very polite to Qiu Luoxue.

Dragging heavy footsteps through the corridor outside the prison, Qiu Luoxue suddenly saw the assassin Cai Ying. That day, because of the panic of assassinating Qiu Luoxue, he was beaten to the ground by Xia Zimo, and later the Royal Forest Army arrived and captured him alive. For the past few days, he has been locked up in a prison cell.

Cai Ying was shocked to see Qiu Luoxue wearing a prison uniform to come to the prison, and he was even more remorseful when he saw her pale face. But he still didn't give up:

"It's ironic that the person who desperately saved the emperor was thrown into the prison."

Qiu Luoxue stopped, glanced at Cai Ying and said, "It's really unprofessional for someone who is determined to be an assassin to deflect the edge of the knife at a critical moment."

After saying that, Qiu Luoxue continued to walk to her cell. Life is really up and down. Not long ago, she was lying on the emperor's dragon bed, but now she has to be accompanied by straw mat cockroaches.

When Qiu Luoxue was worried about how to live in the cell, Xia Ziyan came to the cell with a group of subordinates.

"Get out of the cell as quickly as possible." Xia Ziyan ordered, and soon those subordinates entered Qiu Luoxue's cell and began to pack their things.

"What are you doing?" Qiu Luoxue asked.

Xia Ziyan pondered for a moment and said, "Show your strength." This king is in Daqin, so at any time, if you encounter difficulties, you can ask this king for help. What do you think? If you don't ask for this king, this king can let you out. ”

Xia Ziyan wore his signature smile when he spoke, and his joking tone gave Qiu Luoxue a lot of comfort.

"Don't." Qiu Luoxue said.

"Don't you want to go out?" Xia Ziyan asked deliberately.

"I don't ask for you." Qiu Luoxue said seriously, because the wound hurt, she had to find a corner to sit down.

"Prime Minister, sit here, be clean." When a subordinate saw Qiu Luoxue sitting in the place, he immediately found a clean cloth and spread it on the ground and asked Qiu Luoxue to sit over.

"Is it because of the injury? His face is getting stinky and stinky. Xia Ziyan squatted down beside Qiu Luoxue and said.

Qiu Luoxue glanced at him and said, "Is it because the Yan prince has nothing to do?" It's getting more and more idle. I even ran to the cell to clean up. ”

"This king is here to protect some wounded fool." Xia Ziyan said.

"Why are you guarding me, do you really like me as rumored?" Qiu Luoxue asked weakly.

"Because that fool was injured to protect my royal brother." Xia Ziyan said, "Don't worry, he won't let you stay in the prison for too long." ”

Qiu Luoxue smiled and said, "I know this better than you."

"How is she?" Xia Zimo asked Jin Fudao, the reason why he asked Jin Fu to personally bring Qiu Luoxue into the prison was because he knew that he would handle everything well.

"Since Your Majesty is worried, why bother to put Prime Minister Qiu in prison?" Jin Fu said earnestly.

Xia Zimo stood by the window with his hands in his hands, looked at the snow scene in the palace, sighed and said, "You don't understand, this is a war between me and her." It's just that I seem to have lost this war, and I lost it from the beginning. ”

"Lost because of love." Jin Fu said faintly, looking out the window through Xia Zimo.

The master and servant stood in front of the window one after the other to look at the scenery outside, because Xia Zimo was in a bad mood, and the atmosphere was a little depressed. After standing like this for a while, there was a sudden commotion outside. Xia Ziyan broke in.

"Brother Huang, you know, that's why you put Luo Xue in the prison." Xia Ziyan asked angrily as soon as he came in.

"Go down, all of you." Xia Zimo said to the rest of the subordinates.

After everyone else went out, Xia Zimo glanced at Xia Ziyan and said, "Luo Xue, heh, when did you become so kind?"

"We have a good relationship." Xia Ziyan replied.

"So you know that too? Her identity. Xia Zimo asked.

"yes, got it." Xia Ziyan said.

"When did you find out?" Xia Zimo asked again, his tone was very calm, so calm that he didn't know whether to be angry or happy.

Xia Ziyan's tone was a little heavy, and he said: "When I was eight years old, I heard the conversation between my father and the first prime minister, and I knew that Luo Xue was a girl."

"When Luo Xue was born, Uncle Chen Wang was stepping up to devour his father's power in the court. His subordinates are eyeing the position of prime minister, in a vain attempt to ascend to the throne, and then control the entire court situation. In order to prevent their plan from succeeding, they had to describe the newborn baby girl as a boy and make her the heir to the phase. ”

Xia Ziyan continued: "In the final analysis, we owe her more, how can you put her in prison? Just because she didn't tell you who she was? ”

Xia Zimo glared at him and said, "Is I that kind of person?" It's because of something else. ”

"Whatever the reason, you can't put her in prison. She was injured to save you, and it was too much to throw someone into the prison before the injury was healed. Xia Ziyan complained.

Xia Zimo retorted wordlessly, walked to the table and sat down, and asked while pouring tea with a kung fu tea set: "I remember that you didn't make trouble and asked your father to give you a marriage, and it was also when you were eight years old." Why don't you make a fuss, until she is a daughter, shouldn't she be more firm in the idea of letting her father give her marriage? ”

Xia Ziyan sat down opposite Xia Zimo and replied, "Because my father said that she can only be the emperor's woman." And I don't want to compete with the royal brother for that position. ”

Xia Zimo smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Look, everyone thinks that she should be my woman, only she doesn't think so."

"But she can't be your woman now, she can only be the prime minister of Great Qin. This point, presumably the royal brother is also very clear. Xia Ziyan persuaded.

"I know." Xia Zimo said, and drank all the tea in the cup after speaking, his mood was still heavy.

Qiu Luoxue sat on the bed in her cell. It can only be said that this is not like a prison cell, the cell has been cleaned and renewed, everything in it is new, and there are snacks and other food on the table. In a trance, Qiu Luoxue felt that it was a good thing to go to prison, she didn't have to deal with political affairs, and she could still eat and drink.

Just when Qiu Luoxue felt very comfortable, several jailers suddenly came over and put a person in the cell next to Qiu Luoxue. Qiu Luoxue took a closer look, and it turned out to be the royal doctor who treated her.

Qiu Luoxue, who was surprised, hurriedly got off the bed, walked to the closest place to the cell of the imperial physician, and asked, "Imperial physician Wang, why did you come in too?"

"I shut up the patient and the doctor, of course, because I don't worry about the patient's injuries." Imperial Doctor Wang said.

"I'm sorry to tire you up." Qiu Luoxue said apologetically.

"Don't talk nonsense, bring your hands." Imperial Doctor Wang said.

Qiu Luoxue looked at her hand and asked vigilantly, "What are you doing?"

"What else can I do, of course it's to diagnose the pulse." Imperial Doctor Wang muttered angrily, "Really, such a big person has no sense of proportion, when did it make the emperor angry, but when he was injured, the old man would have to accompany you to prison." ”

In the face of the anger and nagging of the imperial doctor, Qiu Luoxue could only listen obediently, who made her angry with the emperor?

At night, the palace returns to a quiet atmosphere, and the palace lamps emit a lazy glow in the moonlight. In the dungeon, only a few dim lights lit up in the corridors. Taking advantage of this light, Qiu Luoxue was already asleep.

Xia Zimo looked at her quiet sleeping face, and her heart was mixed.

"Does it have to be like this? Can't you give in? Xia Zimo said softly, "Obviously, you came to shake my heart first, but now you want to leave irresponsibly." This makes me very embarrassed. ”

When Xia Zimo came, he brought a small palace lamp for lighting, which was placed on the table next to the bed at the moment. The palace lantern emitted a soft light, sprinkled on him and Qiu Luoxue's bodies.

During the day, in order to maintain his dignity and let Qiu Luoxue know that he was angry, he always had a cold face and tone, and even was so ruthless that he threw her into prison regardless of Qiu Luoxue's injuries.

Those were just his means to make Qiu Luoxue submit, and he couldn't give up his feelings for Qiu Luoxue no matter what. Before, when he didn't know the identity of Qiu Luoxue's daughter, he felt that there was a deadlock between them. Now that he knows the identity of Qiu Luoxue's daughter, there is still a deadlock between them, and it has even developed in a worse direction.

To resolve this impasse, someone must concede, but who will?
