Chapter 39: The Price of Liking Her

When Nie Yuan returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with Qiu Luoxue on his back, Qiu Luoxue had already fallen asleep on his back. Thanks to Qiu Luoxue's whim, Nie Yuan spent more time with her for a long time. The road from the post house to the Xiangfu was very long, but Nie Yuan felt that it was only a short time, so he tried to walk as slowly as possible, walking very slowly, but he still came to the end.

Xia Zimo sat on the stone bench in Qiu Luoxue's courtyard, but what he was waiting for was the scene where Nie Yuan came back with Qiu Luoxue on his back.

Nie Yuan sent Qiu Luoxue back to the room with Xia Zimo's permission first, and then he came out immediately, after all, Xia Zimo was still waiting outside.

"Are you asleep?" Xia Zimo saw Nie Yuan coming out, so he asked.

"Well, it seems to be because I'm too tired." Nie Yuan replied.

"It's really ...... to fall asleep on someone else's back," Xia Zimo said, he said this I don't know if it was because he was jealous or something else.

Although Nie Yuan didn't know why he said such a thing, he knew that he didn't say it to himself, nor did he take it, so he just kept silent.

"You know the rumors about the prime minister in Beijing." Of course, Xia Zimo was referring to Qiu Luoxue's good male style.

"Yes." Nie Yuan replied.

"Don't touch that feeling, you can't afford to pay the price of that feeling." Xia Zimo said, completely in a commanding tone, without a trace of room for negotiation.

"Keep your distance from him and do your part." This is Xia Zimo's last piece of advice.

Of course, he didn't know that Nie Yuan had a deep affection for Qiu Luoxue, but he felt that the two had been too close recently, so he reminded him like this. The price he said was, on the one hand, that he fell in love with the same person as the monarch he guarded; On the other hand, it is because I like someone who is also a man.

Nie Yuan had never disobeyed Xia Zimo's orders, and this time, as usual, he replied "yes". But that's not how his heart answered. In the past, he had to carry out Xia Zimo's orders both physically and mentally, but this time, his heart disobeyed that order.

"Tomorrow, someone will send a few corpses, they are the killers of this post house assassination, just reply to Nanliang." Xia Zimo said.

"Yes." Nie Yuan replied, but he suddenly had a question, so he asked, "Your Majesty, did you come here in person just for this matter?"

"Well, I wanted to tell him, but I fell asleep." Xia Zimo said and glanced back at Qiu Luoxue's room, the lights inside had been turned off.

"For this kind of trivial matter, Your Majesty doesn't have to come here in person, just send the shadow guard to pass the word." Nie Yuan didn't know Xia Zimo's thoughts, and said very considerately for him.

Xia Zimo sighed silently in his heart: How would you know that even such a trivial matter is an excuse for me to come to see him. If you don't even have such a trivial matter, how can I meet him?

"Tomorrow, after dealing with the affairs of the post house, let him enter the palace to see me." After saying this, Xia Zimo left.

On the second day, the envoys of the Nanliang Mission gathered together about the assassination of the post house and clamored for an explanation.

"Prime Minister Qiu, my prince of Nanliang was assassinated in the post house, you have to give an explanation." One person said.

Qiu Luoxue and Su Mufei sat on the top seat, in the face of their noisy and noisy, Qiu Luoxue only felt a headache and a nest of fire, and Su Mufei watched the lively posture as always.

As he was talking, the sound of a fight suddenly crackled outside, and everyone looked out in unison. It's just that at this time, the fight has ended, and there are several Great Qin's guards outside, and there are several corpses lying on the ground.

"What's going on?" Qiu Luoxue was the first to rush out and asked.

"Just now, someone tried to assassinate him, and he has been corrected by the last general." The escort general replied.

"Letting the assassins in again and again, is it because Daqin's protection ability is too poor or because you are not dedicated." Another messenger came out and accused.

"Since the matter has happened, I, Daqin, will definitely give you an explanation." It was Xia Ziyan who said this, and he walked through the crowd and came from behind.

Qiu Luoxue was naturally happy to see him, after all, with backup, she whispered in his ear: "Why did you come, I was about to be killed by this group of stubborn scholars."

"Deliberately came at this time, so that there is momentum." Xia Ziyan replied in a low voice.

After speaking, he said to the group of Nanliang's envoys: "Since the assassins have been corrected, it is good to follow their investigation." First, let's see what they look like. After speaking, Xia Ziyan squatted next to the corpses and took off the face towels on their faces one by one.

"Ah, this is not ......" There was a person in the Nanliang Mission, who let out an exclamation when he saw the face of the corpse, and there seemed to be someone he knew inside. However, he didn't say the rest of the words, covered his mouth, looked around, and saw that no one noticed his words, so he was relieved.

Xia Ziyan squatted with his back to the man, and he listened to the man's words word for word, and his shrewd eyes looked to the side without making a sound.

"I don't know if there are any clues on my body, this king is here to look for it." Xia Ziyan said again, and had already started rummaging when he spoke.

"Bang", when Xia Ziyan was rummaging through the corpse, a token fell out of the corpse, Xia Ziyan picked up the token, showed it to the people behind, and said, "This is a useful thing."

It's just that when the people of the Nanliang Mission saw this token, they began to talk about it, and their voices became noisy.

Qiu Luoxue looked at Xia Ziyan's series of actions, coupled with the words that Xia Zimo wanted to convey to her from Nie Yuan's mouth this morning, she had already decided that this matter was actually a bureau. It's just that she doesn't know the people who set up the bureau yet, and she doesn't know the purpose of the bureau.

However, she is a wise person, and when she doesn't understand, she stands on the sidelines and watches coldly. Just like now, Xia Ziyan's every move is leading the development of the incident, so even if he is not the person who set up the situation, he is also the leader of the incident.

The minister of the Nanliang Mission was obviously led away by someone and was the one who was set up. And Nanliang's two brothers and sisters, Su Muyi has been following Xia Ziyan's every move, looking surprised and unbelievable expressions, and they are also scheming people. As for Su Mufei, he still has a cold-eyed attitude, which makes people unsure of his position.

Su Mufei seemed to notice Qiu Luoxue's gaze at him, and nodded and smiled at Qiu Luoxue, which made Qiu Luoxue even more confused.

"If this king is not mistaken, this token should be worn by the guards of the Nanliang royal family, judging by your reactions, it seems that you also recognize it." Xia Ziyan said, his eyes scanning everyone.

"You, don't talk nonsense, this token can be forged." One argued.

Xia Ziyan's eyes looked at the person who spoke, showed a meaningful smile, and said: "Tokens can be forged, but people can't forge them, whether these assassins are Nanliang's guards or not, it shouldn't take long to find out."

"No need to look it up." Su Mufei said that because his injuries had not healed, he was sitting in a chair. I don't know if it was because of the excessive blood loss or something else, but his face was not very good.

Xia Ziyan shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's okay if you don't check." After speaking, he suddenly changed his face to a serious face, and said with a straight face: "The assassin who assassinated the prince of Nanliang in Daqin's post house turned out to be a native of Nanliang, does the sixth prince want to give us an explanation for Daqin!"

"Yes." Su Mufei said.

"That's good, since it's Nanliang's family matter, we won't bother." After speaking, Xia Ziyan brushed his sleeves and left.

Qiu Luoxue, who watched this good show, also went out, she wanted to learn from Xia Ziyan, flicked her sleeves and left angrily, but unfortunately she didn't make that feeling, like a child who looks like an adult.

"Sixth Prince, how can you admit it so easily, this ......," said an envoy with a puzzled face.

"This person has Nan Liang's token on his body, and he was still punished by the soldiers of Daqin during the assassination, what room do we have for defense." Su Mufei said.

"Even so, we can say that the token is forged, which is always an excuse." And the man said.

"Tokens can be forged, what to do with this person's face? You should also know that he is a guard under the fifth brother. Su Mufei glanced at the assassin on the ground and said.

"Can they really find out?" Someone asked hesitantly.

Su Mufei said coldly: "Do you think that Daqin's shadow guard is in vain? It can be ranked with the secret gate as the most powerful organization in the Seven Kingdoms, and this little thing can't find out why we Nanliang are still afraid of them. ”

Su Mufei's words silenced everyone, and everyone knew that this matter was Nan Liang's fault first, but he was also caught by others. They couldn't help but resent the reckless five princes in their hearts, even if the battle for the succession was urgent, they couldn't do such things when they were on the mission, and it would cause war. What's more, the person he is targeting is still a prince who has no intention of seizing the heir.

"Brother Huang, the emperor of Great Qin will know about this soon, what should I do?" Su Muyi asked.

"Be prepared to bear the wrath of Emperor Great Qin, I hope it will not affect the major events of this trip." Su Mufei said.

"You planned today's event." Out of the range of the post house, Qiu Luoxue finally couldn't help asking.

Xia Ziyan glanced at her lightly and said, "I know and ask."

"Who is the person who set up the bureau? I don't know about this. Qiu Luoxue asked.

Xia Ziyan stopped, looked at Qiu Luoxue and replied, "A certain emperor, a certain prince, a certain ...... Prince. ”

"The emperor thought of it, you and I know, the prince ......" Qiu Luoxue analyzed, suddenly felt wrong, and said in surprise: "The prince? Is the prince you are talking about Su Mufei? Why is he? ”

"You can ask my imperial brother about the specific matter, he may be waiting for you to come over now. I didn't see you much yesterday, so he must be very uneasy. Xia Ziyan said meaningfully.

"I saw it last night, supposedly while I was asleep." Qiu Luoxue said.

"It's because I saw it last night that I'm even more uneasy." Xia Ziyan said.
