The tense court moment was finally over, and Qiu Luoxue also came out of the Jinluan Hall intact, she neither lost her official position nor her life, all thanks to Xia Zimo's planning and Xia Ziyan's help.

Coming out of the Jinluan Palace, Qiu Luoxue and Xia Ziyan walked side by side towards the outside of the palace. As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, he saw Nie Yuan leading a group of shadow guards waiting outside the palace, the shadow guards were uniformly dressed in black clothes, wearing sharp swords around their waists, and stood near Qiu Luoxue's carriage in two columns, because of the large number of people, the line was lined up until the noon gate.

Nie Yuan stood in the center, he was wearing the black clothes he wore when he first saw the autumn snow, standing in front of the palace gate, his posture was upright, and his body exuded an inviolable atmosphere. Sunlight spilled down from behind Nie Yuan, creating a backlit effect. The golden light fell on the roof of the carriage, making the already luxurious carriage even more brilliant. The appearance of such a procession in front of the palace gate can be described as spectacular.

"Why are you here?" Qiu Luoxue walked to the doorway in front of Nie Yuan, standing face-to-face like this, Nie Yuan's upright posture became more obvious.

Their shadows were cast on the ground, and it could be seen that Nie was far higher than Qiu Luoxue's height of nearly two heads. Everything around became a foil, and Nie Yuan was in front of the glorious palace gate, looking at Qiu Luoxue intently. Qiu Luoxue felt that his gaze was much warmer than when he first saw him, was it because of the sun?

"Come and arrest someone." Nie Yuan replied.

"Arrest?" Qiu Luoxue looked around, and there seemed to be no one to catch, so she jokingly asked, "Are you here to arrest me?" ”

Qiu Luoxue was just joking, but Nie Yuan replied: "Yes, I will arrest you to my territory, so that no one will dare to bully you in the future." ”

Qiu Luoxue really went with Nie Yuan, and the carriage was escorted by the shadow guard to the shadow guard base. The shadow guard is open, this lineup does not have to be much smaller than the emperor's travel, and the ministers are so jealous that they can't see it.

"Let's take a look, look at how big the spectrum of this Qiu Prime Minister is, and she brought so many guards to the palace, for fear that others would not know her identity." When a group of ministers came out of the palace, they happened to see the battle of Qiu Luoxue's travel, and they were indispensable for sour words.

"Yes, when a woman can be in power, it's still on our heads, it's really embarrassing."

"Then what's the way, people's backgrounds are good, I see, don't work hard in the future, it's better to reincarnate as soon as possible and cast into a good family." If I had been born in the Qiu family, I wouldn't be what I am now. ”

"If you want me to say that a woman should have a good husband and children at home, how can you talk about the government?"

"People are favored by the emperor, what can't be discussed. Looking at the emperor's attitude towards Prime Minister Qiu, it is really pampered. Some time ago, didn't the emperor let the prime minister stay in the palace, it is estimated that they would have ...... long ago"

"Ahem......"

When a few people were talking hotly, there was a sudden coughing sound behind him, which startled everyone, and when they turned around, it turned out to be Jiang Shilian, whose status was not as high as his, and after seeing him, he immediately saluted and said, "Lord Jiang." ”

"Why did you gossip at the gate of the palace, and it reached the ears of the emperor, and you are good-looking." Jiang Shilian said, with the posture of an elder, but he was indeed the oldest among these people.

"We are also not used to letting a woman be the prime minister, I really don't know what the emperor thought? Leave that kind of holy decree! A minister said.

A treacherous look flashed in the corner of Jiang Shilian's eyes, and he said without moving: "Do you really think that the holy decree was left by the first emperor?" ”

Jiang Shilian's words aroused everyone's deep thought, and also planted the seeds of doubt in their hearts. In this way, people who were not originally in King Chen's camp could also become his people.

The current prime minister of Daqin, Qiu Luoxue, is a woman's matter, and it has spread all over the capital within an hour after the next dynasty, and everyone is discussing it with great interest, and this matter is undoubtedly the best conversation among the people after tea and dinner in recent times.

Of course, in addition to the people in the capital knowing, Jiang Guifei in the palace also knows. At this point, she fell into deep thought. Jiang Guifei is a woman, she will not think about this issue from the perspective of national politics, but from the perspective of a woman. What she thought was not that Qiu Luoxue would become the first female prime minister of Daqin, but that this woman named Qiu Luoxue was likely to take away her posterior.

Recalling Xia Zimo's attitude towards Qiu Luoxue, Jiang Guifei became more and more determined about this possibility. Therefore, she can't continue to sit still now, but must strike at the right time to keep her position in the palace.

"No, Qiu Luoxue must not be allowed to become His Majesty's imperial concubine, otherwise the throne of this palace will not be kept." Concubine Jiang said to herself, she was already scared.

"Someone, this palace is going to see the emperor." Jiang Guifei shouted.

Qiu Luoxue's carriage walked for a long time, and finally arrived at the base of the shadow guard, Nie Yuan led her to the main hall of the base, and after entering, Qiu Luoxue found that Xia Zimo and Xia Ziyan were already waiting inside.

"When did you come here? It's faster than me, is there any secret passage here? Qiu Luoxue asked after seeing the two of them.

"It's not a secret passage, it's just a shortcut from the palace to here." Xia Zimo replied that he was undoubtedly sitting on the top position.

"But why did you bring me here?" Qiu Luoxue asked.

"There are people you need to deal with." Xia Ziyan said, "This time, don't be soft-hearted, she is the one who almost killed you." ”

As soon as Xia Ziyan said this, Qiu Luoxue understood who that person was. It just so happened that she still had some questions for that person.

"Where is she?" Qiu Luoxue asked.

"Bring people in." Nie Yuan shouted outside the hall, and soon two shadow guards walked in with a bloody woman.

Judging from Xiyue's state, she has already been tortured in the Shadow Guard base, and just looking at the injuries on her body, Qiu Luoxue knows how cruel the Shadow Guard's methods are. There was hardly a single intact place on her body, and from the tattered parts of her clothes, you could still see the wounds on her body, some of them from whipping, some of them from knife cuts. The most obvious was the left side of her face, which was marked with a long blood mark.

Xiyue was originally also a beautiful woman, her skin was fair, without a trace of impurities, but now the scratch on the left side of her face had ruined her face.

Seeing her current miserable situation, Qiu Luoxue was a little unbearable, but thinking about the ungrateful things she had done, she hated her very much.

Shizuki was taken to the main hall to kneel, but because she had been tortured too much, she could no longer kneel well, and it looked like she might faint at any time. Qiu Luoxue squatted down in front of Xiyue, met her eyes, and asked, "Why did you do this?" ”

Xiyue heard the sound of Qiu Luoxue, slowly raised her eyes to look at her, and replied, "To live." ”

"For the sake of your own life, it is too unreasonable to want another living person to die." Qiu Luoxue said.

Xiyue smiled contemptuously and said, "Life is inherently unreasonable. Everyone does this, in order to live for themselves, they go to harm other irrelevant people. ”

"That's not what I did." Qiu Luoxue said that she tried not to pity Xiyue.

Once bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope, Qiu Luoxue was in this state, although the Xiyue in front of her was very pitiful, but she would no longer pity her. Because she knew that her impulsiveness would not only harm herself, but also harm all the people present who had helped her, in order not to cause trouble to them, Qiu Luoxue tried not to do anything.

"That's because you are the most honorable person in Great Qin except for the emperor, and everything you have is the best. You were born into a good family, had the strongest guards, and were good friends with the emperor's dearest brother, and even the emperor fell in love with you in the end. Because you have everything, you don't have to struggle, you don't have to hurt people's hearts, because all dangers will be blocked by someone. You can even save anyone you save, kill anyone you want to kill, because you have the ability, and those are just your words. ”

Xiyue paused and continued: "But I, just an ordinary woman, was born in an unhappy family and was sold to a brothel as a prostitute, all I can do every day is force my face to smile and exchange my body for a meager income. I try to live every day, but I still can't escape the beating. I also want to live a simple and uncalculating life like you, but life does not allow me to do so. ”

Xiyue didn't cry or grieve when she talked about this, she just told these things in an almost bland tone, her tone was more like a rebuke, reprimanding the injustice of fate, and reprimanding the misfortune of life.

Qiu Luoxue originally didn't intend to pity her, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but feel pity for Xiyue. Yes, she was just born into a good family, but she was luckier than others. If she has a background like the moon, can she promise not to harm others?

"I know I won't survive, and I don't expect you to spare my life." Xiyue continued, she looked at Qiu Luoxue sincerely, and said, "But I want to say thank you to you, although I sneaked into the Prime Minister's Mansion with a purpose, I know how good you are to me." If I hadn't agreed to Master Jiang's request, I might have lived happily in the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

"It's a pity that creation makes people, and I can't help myself at that time." Xiyue said that she left a tear, regret and regret, but it was too late to say that now.

Qiu Luoxue involuntarily reached out to wipe away the tears on her face for Xiyue, this action moved Xiyue very much, and she smiled gratefully.

"I've worked hard for you in this life, and I hope you can be born in a good family in the next life." Qiu Luoxue said.

After saying that, she stood up, turned her back to Xiyue, and said, "Send her away." ”
