"Niangniang, the slave maid just heard that Concubine Xian Niangniang was beaten into the cold palace."

In the Feixia Palace, Concubine Wu Xianchu was lying on the chaise longue chair, and the palace maid Xing'er came over to pray.

"Why?" Concubine Duan asked with her lips open.

"It was said that he provoked the Prime Minister in the Imperial Garden, and when His Majesty went, he directly sent her into the cold palace." Apricot replied.

"It seems that Your Majesty values this Prime Minister very much." Concubine Duan said, her expression did not change, but looking at her face, it was very pale, as if she was sick.

"Yes, if it weren't for this prime minister, Master Taifu would not have been demoted out of Beijing, and Imperial Doctor Xu would not have come back as soon as he left the palace, Niangniang, you ...... You don't have to worry about it anymore. Xing'er said with dissatisfaction with Qiu Luoxue.

"Xing'er, don't talk nonsense, if you are heard, you will suffer." Concubine Duan said.

"Niangniang, Xing'er is also upset for you. You don't want to eat these days, your face is so pale and scary, Xing'er is really worried that you will fall ill, it is better to find a doctor to take a look. ”

"No need, I have a heart disease, and I can't be cured."

"Then find Imperial Doctor Xu, he will definitely be able to cure Niangniang's heart disease." Apricot said.

Concubine Duanxiu frowned slightly, and said in a melancholy tone: "That's it, when he returns to this palace, it will only be more dangerous, I have no other wishes, I just hope that he and his father can live safely." As for me, I will wither silently in this deep palace. ”

"Niangniang......" Xing'er looked at her mother distressedly, and the latter closed her eyes and rested after speaking. Xing'er couldn't bear to see her continue like this, and immediately made a decision in her heart.

After Qiu Luoxue came out of the imperial garden, she walked outside the palace with Nie Yuan, and at this time they were about to walk to the palace gate.

From a distance, the two saw a woman dressed as a palace maid stuffing a letter to the guards in front of the palace gate.

"Be sure to send this letter to Imperial Doctor Xu, remember, you must give it to him personally." Xing'er secretly stuffed a letter to the guard and said that she was sure that Xu Zhonghang would come when she saw this letter, and her mother's illness would be cured.

"It's so bold to have an affair in the palace." Nie Yuan completely saw their movements and said.

"What kind of fornication, you have a problem with your eyes. That palace maid is so beautiful, and that guard is ......," Qiu Luoxue said, trying to find an adjective, "looks so unsatisfactory, how can the two of them have an affair." ”

"But I just saw that the maid sent a letter to the guard." Nie Yuan said.

"At most, I asked the guard to help deliver the letter, it couldn't be a love letter." Qiu Luoxue said, and then she touched her chin with her hand, looked at Nie Yuan with an inquiring expression and asked: "Anyway, Nie Shishi, what are you thinking about every day, when you see a man and a woman together, you think that people are fornicating."

Nie Yuan glanced at her and didn't answer this, but said, "It's even more unforgivable to pass letters outside the palace without permission." Saying that, the others had already left for the palace gate, and it seemed that they were going to catch it.

"Huh...... Why are you going? Qiu Luoxue hurriedly grabbed Nie Yuan.

"Stop them." Nie Yuan said, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.

"Alas...... You are a person, people just pass on a letter, and it won't happen, you have arrested them now, have you ever thought about the consequences of them? Qiu Luoxue said.

"It is a great crime to send letters outside the palace, and you will be killed with a cane." Nie Yuan replied.

"That's it, because of a small letter, two people died, how cruel. Just pretend you didn't see it and let them go. Qiu Luoxue persuaded, "Moreover, you look cold, you shouldn't be the kind of nosy person, why bother with them." ”

"It is the duty of the shadow guards to protect the palace and protect the emperor's safety." Nie Yuan replied.

"People may be people who are worried outside the palace, don't be all soldiers. As soon as they entered the palace gate, they were as deep as the sea, and these palace maids came in when they were young, and they spent almost their lives in the palace, and some people could only be accompanied by dry wells after death. Such a poor person, if there is a person who cares about her or someone who cares about her, it is also a mercy from God, so you don't want to interfere. ”

Qiu Luoxue's sudden deep words made Nie Yuan look sideways, her words were very reasonable, and even contained the sadness of the world and the warmth of human feelings. In short, I don't know if it was her words that persuaded Nie Yuan, or because the kindness in Nie Yuan's heart automatically accepted her words, Nie Yuan gave up his previous plan and let the letter flow outside the palace.

It's just that this letter, which was finally set aside outside the palace, really won't cause the slightest ripple? I don't know if one day, Qiu Luoxue will regret today's decision when she knows the usefulness of this letter and the consequences it will cause.

At night, the moonlight peeked in through the window, sprinkling frost on the ground. Two black shadows jumped into the courtyard from the outside, and walked quickly into Qiu Luoxue's room. After entering, the person walking in front stopped, and the person behind did not pay attention, and bumped into the former's body, almost making a painful sound, but fortunately the former quickly covered his mouth and made a silent gesture.

Through the faint light of the moonlight, it can be seen that they are the assassins who wanted to assassinate Qiu Luoxue some time ago, the pair of brothers. After they entered Qiu Luoxue's room, they were extra careful because they were afraid of causing a disturbance.

Qiu Luoxue had fallen asleep at this time, it was very quiet, the whole room was only the sound of her steady breathing, and there was a lamp on the table, which was flickering candles.

The two assassins slowly approached Qiu Luoxue's bedside, and the older assassin took a knife from his bosom and cautiously approached it. But as he was leaving, he suddenly stepped on something under his feet, and there was a crisp sound, followed by a piercing pain, and he almost cried out in pain.

He looked down and saw that it was a trap, realized that they had taken precautions tonight, and said, "It's not good, Jiang'er run." As soon as he finished speaking, a huge net fell from the sky, trapping them in it, and no one could escape.

Qiu Luoxue got up from the bed yawning at this time, looked at the two of them and said, "Why did you come, I'm about to fall asleep when I wait."

Nie Yuan walked out from behind the screen and said, "It's really not easy for you to not fall asleep."

The moment he walked out of the darkness, he couldn't help but look handsome at Qiu Luoxue again, if it weren't for the serious business, Qiu Luoxue would probably fall into his prosperous beauty again.

"Cough" Qiu Luoxue reminded herself that she was not addicted with a coughing sound, and then said: "Although I like to sleep, I don't care about the occasion."

"You already have a plan? Didn't that guy go out today? The older Assassin said, sweating from the pain of the trap, but he was strong enough not to say a word.

"He, of course, is a plan to catch you, you dare to come if he doesn't go out." Qiu Luoxue replied, walking in front of the assassin, Nie Yuan followed her vigilantly at all times.

"How can you be sure I'm going to kill you today? This bureau was also set up. The Assassin asked.

"You've been walking around the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many days, it's hard not to find you." Qiu Luoxue said, picking up the knife that the assassin had dropped on the ground just now.

"Huh? Kitchen knife! Qiu Luoxue looked at the kitchen knife in surprise and said, "No, big brother, can you be professional?" You're an assassin and not a butcher, how can you come here with a kitchen knife? ”

"Enough to kill you." The assassin said in a daze.

"Cut~" Qiu Luoxue said disdainfully, "Speaking big, didn't you kill me now?" ”

"That's because you're playing tricks." The Assassin said.

"Then I can't sit here and wait for you to kill me." Qiu Luoxue retorted.

While Qiu Luoxue was chatting with the assassin, Nie Yuan frowned slightly, he had just heard the sound of footsteps skimming over the roof tiles, although it was subtle, but he caught it.

"You stay here, don't go out." After Nie Yuan finished speaking, he picked up his sword and went out, his movements were extremely fast, and before Qiu Luoxue could react, the others were already gone.

"Hey, Nie Shishi, why are you going?"

Qiu Luoxue chased her out as she spoke, and as soon as she ran to the door, a bunch of family members came, and they only came over when they heard the movement in the courtyard.

"Childe, there are assassins outside, Nie Gongzi is chasing, you better not go out." A family member said.

"Assassins? Wasn't the assassin there? Qiu Luoxue pointed to the two assassins in the room and said.

"There's another one outside, and the martial arts are very high." Jia Ding replied.

Qiu Luoxue wanted to go out to have a look, but when she heard that the assassin had high martial arts skills and she was powerless, she thought about it and didn't want to go out to make trouble. But she couldn't resist her curiosity, so she looked out of the window.

Outside, Nie Yuan was fighting with a black-clothed assassin. Qiu Luoxue felt that this assassin was more professional at first glance, dressed in black and wearing a mask, unlike the two in the house. Thinking of this, she looked back at the assassin in the room, and found that the injured man assassin was in pain, and she couldn't help but feel sympathy for him.

"A few of you, help him get the trap off his feet. Also, go and ask Imperial Doctor Xu to come and help him take a look. Qiu Luoxue ordered Jia Ding Dao, and after speaking, she continued to watch Nie Yuan fight.

Nie Yuan used a sword when he fought, and every move and style was very handsome and powerful. At this time, the assassin had been suppressed by him, so Nie Yuan's martial arts should be much higher than that assassin.

The assassin also uses a sword, and his moves are very sharp. When he stabbed Nie Yuan with his sword, Nie Yuan dodged and blocked with his own sword, and he kept moving forward, forcing the assassin to retreat.

The scene of their fight made Qiu Luoxue very nervous, as if she was in a battle. When Nie Yuan had the advantage, she was so happy that she almost shouted "good fight", whenever Nie Yuan was a little in danger, she was nervous and couldn't breathe.

The assassin had a posture of wanting to escape, but he was restrained by Nie Yuan and could not escape. Fighting and stabbing at Nie Yuan with his sword, Nie Yuan flew up, his toes lightly stepped on his sword, and the assassin turned his palm and hit Nie Yuan, and Nie Yuan flew away when he saw this. But the moment he flew away, the Assassin threw a dart at the same time.

Almost at the same time as he threw out the dart, Qiu Luoxue exclaimed, "Nie Shi, be careful."
