After the second watch, every family closed their doors. Except for the occasional patrol of soldiers and watchmen, the streets were deserted and silent. Patrolling soldiers walked neatly down the main street, their armor rubbing against each other, making a heavy sound of metal clashing.

The post house where Daqin received VIPs was located on Dongcheng Street, and it was also quiet at this time, and the cicada chirping became the only sound here.

"Catch the assassins."

The voice sounded out of nowhere, and the originally dark post house seemed to have made an appointment, and at the same time, the lights were lit up, and the originally quiet environment became noisy. I don't know if the influence of the post house is too great, the street outside the post house is also lit up, this brightly lit road extends to the palace, the majestic palace, in the night, is also set off by the lights more brilliant.

The candle flame of the Prime Minister's Mansion was also lit, and Nie Yuan stood outside Qiu Luoxue's door and knocked on the door, but no one answered in the middle of the ring, so he simply broke in by himself.

"Something's wrong, get up." Nie Yuan walked to Qiu Luoxue's bed and shook her.

Qiu Luoxue snorted, turned over and continued to sleep, not looking like she was going to wake up at all.

"There's an accident at the inn." Nie Yuan said again, hoping to attract her enough attention, but Qiu Luoxue still didn't react at all.

Nie Yuan's face was helpless, although he didn't want to disturb Qiu Luoxue sleeping, but there was no way, suddenly he had an idea, and said, "There are assassins."

"Huh? Assassins? Where is it? How can there be assassins again? "This trick is still useful for people like Qiu Luoxue, who are very life-sparing. She immediately sat up from the bed.

"The assassin is at the inn, get dressed and follow me." Nie Yuan said.

"How can there be assassins? Has anyone been hurt? Qiu Luoxue said as she followed Nie Yuan out.

When the two went out, they saw Xu Zhonghang waiting outside the hospital with a medicine box, Qiu Luoxue "chuckled" in her heart, and said with some worry in her tone: "It seems that someone is injured." Who is it? ”

"At present, it is only known that the sixth prince is injured, and the rest is not very clear." Xu Zhonghang replied. Because of the urgency of the situation, the three of them did not delay their walking.

In the post house, the room of the sixth prince Su Mufei was very messy because of the fight, there was a bloodstain on the ground, and he himself was lying on the bed, his face was pale, he was hit by an arrow in his shoulder, and the wound was still bleeding out. A medical officer was pulling arrows for him, and both the six princes and the medical officer had beads of sweat on their foreheads.

Su Mufei frowned, and the pain from drawing his sword pierced his whole body, so that he could only grab the sheet to break up the pain, and it could be seen from the blue tendons on his face that he was enduring great pain.

"Why don't you pull it out?" Su Muyi watched anxiously from the sidelines, and asked in a tone that was not very friendly.

The medical officer wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and said, "The arrow is too deep for the subordinate to pull it out alone."

"Waste." Su Muyi said angrily, then turned her head and asked the maid, "Didn't the medical officer from Daqin come?"

"Back to the princess, I have already sent someone to invite you." The maid replied.

"It's too slow......" Su Muyi complained, but before she could finish complaining, someone reported: "The emperor has arrived."

As soon as Su Mufei's assassination happened, Xia Zimo received the news, this matter is not trivial, and the slightest carelessness may worsen the relationship between the two countries. If the prince of Nanliang was assassinated in Daqin, the emperor of Nanliang would definitely not give up. Not because of how much he dotes on this prince, but for the sake of the dignity of a great country, he will definitely take the opportunity to make some excessive demands.

It was precisely because he knew the seriousness of this matter that Xia Zimo dared to come over from the palace for the first time, first of all, to show that Daqin attached great importance to this matter, not to Su Mufei, but to Nanliang. The next thing is to ensure that Su Mufei does not die, at least he cannot die in the Great Qin country. Only then is everything else possible.

When Qiu Luoxue and the others rushed over, they met Xia Zimo outside the post house and came in together.

"Your Majesty, forgive Muyi for being unreasonable, my imperial brother was assassinated in Daqin, if he has any accidents, my Nanliang will definitely not give up." Su Muyi is a straightforward person, and she doesn't know any political and diplomatic means, so she has an attitude of asking for guilt as soon as she comes up.

Xia Zimo was very dissatisfied with her attitude, and frowned slightly, but what she said was right, so she said: "I will give Nan Liang an explanation for this matter."

After that, he said to Xu Zhonghang very seriously: "Cure the six princes, this is the imperial order."

"Yes." After Xu Zhonghang finished speaking, he took the medicine box to Su Mufei's bedside, since Xia Zimo came down with such an imperial order, it meant that he would cure Su Mufei no matter what.

Qiu Luoxue watched Xia Zimo's affectionate seriousness on the side, and also knew the seriousness of this matter, and silently prayed in her heart that Su Mufei would never have an accident. Because she didn't want Da Qin to be embarrassed, and she didn't want Xia Zimo to worry.

Gradually, she has slowly accepted everything she has experienced from resisting, and then she likes Daqin, she really wants to be friends with Xia Zimo, and she really wants to contribute to Xia Zimo and his country.

The atmosphere in the room was a little dignified, and the people were a little messy, such an environment should disturb Xu Zhonghang's rescue, so Qiu Luoxue said: "Your Majesty, let's go out first, it will only interfere with Imperial Doctor Xu here."

Xia Zimo and the others came out of Su Mufei's room and sat in the courtyard, the lanterns in the courtyard were lit, and a lantern was hung on almost every tree, lighting up the night sky, so that people could also see the chic environment of the post house at night.

Xia Zimo's expression was a little solemn, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Qiu Luoxue wanted to find a topic to break the dull atmosphere, and there was no suitable topic for talking about now, so she had to give up. She sat bored on the stool and dangled her feet, watching the moonlight fade little by little, and the day seemed to be coming.

Xia Zimo didn't know when he noticed Qiu Luoxue's feet dangling back and forth, and those little feet were dangling like that, attracting his attention. How can a man's feet be so small? Xia Zimo thought so in his heart.

Qiu Luoxue, who was bored, dragged her cheek with one hand on the table, and sometimes pouted; pouting from time to time; sometimes blowing a breath to make his cheeks bulge; From time to time, she blew her own flowing hair, and her big eyes rolled back and forth.

Seeing her ever-changing expression, Xia Zimo, who was originally in a heavy mood, laughed silently, and his mood was not so bad.

"Is it boring?" Xia Zimo asked.

"Hmm." Qiu Luoxue was stunned at this time, staring at one place and answering her heart. But then she reacted, looked at Xia Zimo and smiled awkwardly and said, "Shouldn't I answer at this time?"

Xia Zimo hooked his lips and smiled, and said, "You should answer like that, but it won't be you who answer like that."

The first rays of the morning sun radiated from the horizon, the golden light drove away the darkness with warmth, and the moonlight and candlelight dimmed in front of it, becoming a foil. And that golden light, when Xia Zimo hooked his lips and smiled, seemed to dim. So, in Qiu Luoxue's eyes, everything around her seemed to have become a foil, a foil for Xia Zimo's smile. If this is a painting, then these things, all these landscapes, are the background that sets off her and Xia Zimo.

"Squeak." The door opened from the inside, Xu Zhonghang walked out, and Su Muyi, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, immediately rushed up and asked, "How is it?"

"There's no danger anymore." Xu Zhonghang replied.

Su Muyi immediately rushed in after hearing this, which was enough to see her concern for the sixth prince. Su Mufei was still in a coma because of excessive blood loss, and his face looked as pale as last night, but his breathing was much more even.

"It seems that Princess Mu really cares about the six princes." Qiu Luoxue looked at Su Muyi who rushed into the door and said.

"The biological mothers of the two of them are the same, although they were raised by different people later, but the blood relationship is not so easy to be alienated." Xia Zimo said, "However, it seems that the Sixth Prince has begun to use this sister. ”

"Utilization? Why? Qiu Luoxue asked puzzled.

"Let me ask you, what is the purpose of Nan Liang's envoy to Great Qin this time?" Xia Zimo asked Qiu Luo Snow Road.

"Isn't it a matter of discussing the prime ministers of the Seven Kingdoms?" Qiu Luoxue replied that she still remembered this.

Xia Zimo nodded and continued to ask: "But this purpose can only be carried out in secret, and a more suitable and unsuspecting excuse is needed, what is this excuse?"

"Kiss." Qiu Luoxue said.

"There are dozens of unmarried princesses of Nanliang age, why did you choose this princess Mu?" Xia Zimo asked again.

This question stumped Qiu Luoxue, frowning and pondering. In order to further stimulate her thoughts, Xia Zimo asked again: "There are five adult princes in Nanliang who can represent the emperor in other countries, only this sixth prince has no power in the court, but he finally became the envoy?" Why? ”

"Why?" Qiu Luoxue asked curiously.

"Why do you have to think for yourself?" Xia Zimo said helplessly, it seems that this prime minister of his is really a person who does not want to use his brains.

After Xia Zimo left the question to Qiu Luoxue, he left, Qiu Luoxue couldn't think of it herself, looked up at Nie Yuan who was standing beside her, and asked, "Nie Shishi, do you know why?"

"Because Princess Mu is the sister of the Six Princes, she married away from another country, and the Six Princes want to give her one last ride." Nie Yuan replied.

"Oh, that's right." Qiu Luoxue said.

"That's what he told the emperor of Nanliang, and the emperor of Nanliang was very moved after hearing it, so he sent him." Nie Yuan said.

Qiu Luoxue looked suddenly enlightened, and asked again, "How do you know this?"

"Shadow Guard." Nie Yuan replied with two words simply.

Qiu Luoxue stood up in surprise after hearing this, and whispered, "You also installed shadow guards in the palace of Nanliang."

"It's just that I bought off the people around Emperor Nanliang." Nie Yuan explained.

"Ah, that's right." Qiu Luoxue calmed down at this time, if she could really install a shadow guard in Nanliang, it would be really an exciting thing.

"However, as the emperor just said, there are so many princesses in Nanliang, why did you let Princess Mu come and kiss?" Qiu Luoxue asked again.

"It's the Sixth Prince." Nie Yuan replied.

Qiu Luoxue showed a shocked expression, and then she understood what Xia Zimo said about Su Mufei using Su Muyi. That's how it was used.

But why did he do it? Sacrifice the happiness of your own sister. Qiu Luoxue asked puzzled.

"The royal family, there is only profit, no happiness." Nie Yuan said, his voice a little deep, "This visit, under the banner of Nanliang, can ask for help from the outside world and lay the foundation for the struggle for the reserve." ”

"So the six princes actually want to compete for the position of prince?" Qiu Luoxue was very surprised, he didn't look like a person who had a persistent pursuit of power.
