"Your Majesty, news came from Nanliang that the lord of Nanliang died violently in the palace and passed the throne to the five princes." Jin Fu relayed the news from the shadow guard to Xia Zimo.

Hearing this news, Xia Zimo's brows immediately furrowed. The five princes succeeded to the throne, his attitude towards the Seven Kingdoms Treaty is still unclear, and because of the assassination of Su Mufei before, Nan Liang punished the five princes at the request of Daqin, and it is very likely that he will support Cai Chikun because of this matter. This means that the original envisaged voting situation has been uncertain, and the change of the seven-nation treaty is still unknown.

In addition to Daqin, Beize also received the news, and the eldest princess immediately found Su Mufei and the others. After entering the door, she said in a heavy tone: "The lord of Nanliang died violently last night, and the five princes inherited the throne."

"What do you say? Father, he ......" Su Muyi was the first to ask in surprise, and before she finished speaking, tears were accumulating in her eyes. Although her father did not give her too much favor, after all, she was deeply affectionate, and she was still sad.

Hearing the news, Qiu Luoxue's first reaction was to look at Su Mufei on the side. The violent death of the lord of Nanliang is naturally a big deal, but for Su Mufei, what is more important should be the sentence "the five princes inherit the throne". He endured for many years, and finally waited for the opportunity to show his talent and move forward for the supreme position. But God did not fulfill people's wishes, and when he worked hard, the throne finally fell elsewhere. I'm afraid this kind of mood is uncomfortable.

This sudden change was undoubtedly a blockbuster*, and everyone was caught off guard. Su Mufei was in a bad mood, and the eldest princess's situation was not much better. The only thing that has not lost is Daqin, does Xia Zimo choose to stand by or help?

"Hahahaha, it's really better to be a human being than heaven, Mu Qianqian thought that relying on the two big trees of Daqin and Nanliang would be able to defeat me, who knew that Nanliang had such a big variable." Also receiving the news was Cai Chikun, who laughed proudly, not at all like a person who had experienced the pain of losing a child. However, this is really good news for him.

"Yes, there has always been a gap between the new lord of Nanliang and the six princes, and it has been ruled out that the guards will come to Beize to arrest the six princes." Cai Chikun's subordinates said.

"Although he didn't do anything, he did us a great favor, so let's give this sixth prince as a big gift to him as a gift for his enthronement." Cai Chikun said with a smile.

"Although I have lost Nan Liang's help, there is still Daqin after all, I'm afraid it's not very easy." The men asked worriedly.

Cai Chikun sneered and said: "Alliances between countries are all based on interests, and without interests, no matter how strong the alliance is, it will collapse." What's more, neither Su Mufei nor Mu Qianqian can represent their country. ”

On the other side, Xia Zimo was also thinking about this problem, and after being silent for a long time, he finally ordered: "Feige sent a letter to Prime Minister Qiu, so that they can return to China immediately."

…… months later

Qiu Luoxue's carriage drove into the suburbs of the capital, she opened the window of the carriage and poked her head out of it, and now she has returned to the appearance of men's clothing.

Time passed, it was autumn, and on both sides of the long and wide pipe, the golden trees stood tall in the sun like warriors in yellow armor. Fallen leaves are piled up layer after layer, and the carriage passes over it, making the sound of "brushing", which is the sound of autumn and the color of autumn. The sunlight seemed to leak from the sky into the ground, shining on the golden, fiery leaves, lining the heavens and the earth even brighter.

It was the height of summer when I left, and it was early autumn when I returned. The leaves of the trees turn from dark green to golden, because they have experienced the beating of autumn frost, and people have gone from naivety to maturity, and it is also because of the tribulation. The carriage was still babbling along the official road, getting closer and closer to the direction of the capital, and now the majestic and tall city gate could be vaguely seen.

A gust of wind shook off the leaves, the withered yellow leaves fell staggeringly, Qiu Luoxue reached out from the car window, and the leaves landed on her palm. The sun shone obliquely on her fingertips, converging into a bright halo on her slender ring finger, as if the sun had shrunk and placed on her fingertips. Still, the light was dazzling.

"It's harvest time. It's a pity that we went home empty-handed. The melodious sound of the autumn snow and the creaking carriage merge into a heavy symphony.

Inside the palace, it has also become an autumn scene, and the palace is still standing majestically. The palace has a wide area of greenery and abundant vegetation, and in autumn, the golden leaves are connected to the large flaming maple leaves, surrounding the temple that tends to be red, adding to the grandeur. The majesty of the palace was familiar to Qiu Luoxue, but this autumn scene was something she had never seen before. The golden temple, the dead leaves yellowed by the years, the maple leaves red by the frost, and the white marble steps illuminated by the setting sun under the feet are combined into a picture of warm colors. Only the magic of nature can paint such a beautiful picture. Qiu Luoxue wants to walk on this road for a while, maybe she will merge with this beautiful picture scroll and become a landscape in the eyes of others.

Walking to the outside of Xia Zimo's palace, he happened to meet Jin Fu who came out of it, Qiu Luoxue greeted politely: "Father-in-law Jin......"

Jin Fu also smiled when he saw Qiu Luoxue, and said, "Your Majesty is waiting for your lord inside."

For some reason, Qiu Luoxue saw the smile on Jin Fu's face, and actually thought of the word "ambiguous". Why did Jin Bok smile like this? Qiu Luoxue had a moment of doubt, but the question passed after that, because she was too lazy to use her brain to think. Directly entered the palace to find Xia Zimo.

The furnishings in the palace are still as neat, complete and atmospheric as ever, maybe this is the place where the king lives.

"I wrote so many letters to the emperor, how can you not reply to any of them, to be honest, did you throw away the letter without reading it?"

Because she was sure that Xia Zimo was inside, she complained as soon as she entered the door. It's just that she didn't expect that as soon as she entered the door, the first thing that caught her eye was Xia Zimo's naked upper body. Now she should understand a little bit of what the ambiguous smile on Kim Bok's face is about.

"How can you be so casual, knowing that I'm coming without clothes." Qiu Luoxue complained, and immediately turned around, she is not the kind of person who takes advantage of others.

Seeing that Qiu Luoxue was still so shy, Xia Zimo hooked her lips and smiled: "I'm changing clothes, you broke in by yourself, and said that I was casual, no matter how I counted, I suffered." As he spoke, he picked up his robe and put it on his body.

The robe was just casually put on his body, without buttons, and the muscles on his body could still be faintly seen, and such a vague beauty could attract people's eyes even more. When Qiu Luoxue turned around and saw him like this, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"Didn't you read the letter I wrote to you?" In order not to be confused by beauty, Qiu Luoxue changed the topic and asked.

"The first day I left the capital, I thought about it."

"I sat on the verandah with Nie Shi and watched the rain, and somehow I remembered that rainy day, and the emperor made a special trip to send the night pearl to me. The rain scene that day was also beautiful, and there were crystal raindrops hanging on the magnolia in the courtyard, but I didn't have time to appreciate it, because the emperor attracted my attention. ”

Xia Zimo didn't directly answer whether he saw it or not, but memorized what Qiu Luoxue wrote in the letter. It's an indirect answer, and it's a powerful one.

"He, I'm scared to death, why do you say it so abruptly, how many times have you watched it, and you can actually recite it." Qiu Luoxue said, everyone has already expressed this, and she instantly lost the momentum of complaining.

"I have a good memory." Xia Zimo said confidently.

Qiu Luoxue pursed her lips and said, "You can't help but be narcissistic once." Later, she asked, "Since you have read my letter, why don't you reply to it, is it difficult to write a letter?"

Xia Zimo didn't answer, looking at Qiu Luoxue's familiar face, this was the face he had missed for two months. Now she was able to laugh merrily in front of her, and it was noisy in his ear. That's nice.

Qiu Luoxue looked at Xia Zimo, who was looking at herself intently, which made her very puzzled, and she just wanted to ask him what was wrong. Xia Zimo suddenly leaned forward and fell on her shoulder.

This frightened Qiu Luoxue, and subconsciously reached out to hug Xia Zimo so that he would not continue to fall, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" Where is it uncomfortable? Do you want to call the Imperial Doctor? ”

"Just don't move, just for a while." Xia Zimo said in a very soft voice, for fear of disturbing the atmosphere at the moment.

It's not that he's unwell, he just wants to have a little intimacy with his sweetheart he hasn't seen for a long time. Because both of them are men, and they are not sure if Qiu Luoxue will be disgusted with his intimate behavior, they can only use this method. However, rounding it off is also a hug.

Xia Zimo said not to move, Qiu Luoxue really didn't move, her hand held Xia Zimo's back, and asked softly, "Is it hard?" She also thought that Xia Zimo was like this because she was too tired to deal with government affairs, after all, there have been many unexpected things recently.

"Because I want to tell you in person." Xia Zimo said a word that didn't look for the margins.

"What?" Qiu Luoxue asked suspiciously.

"I didn't write a reply because I wanted to say something to you personally." Xia Zimo repeated.

Qiu Luoxue couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth after hearing this, and what Xia Zimo said today sounded extremely comfortable.

"What do you want to say to me personally?" Qiu Luoxue asked.

The afterglow of the sunset has not yet dissipated, shining into the palace through the wooden pavilion window, sprinkled on Xia Zimo and Qiu Luoxue who are hugging each other, shrouded in a layer of redness. Who's shy? Or is it a halo of happiness?

There are only two people in the hall, Xia Zimo and Qiu Luoxue, so there is nothing wrong with holding them like this. Just quietly, feel the warmth of each other, let the two hearts get close, and "bang" a strong beating heart, who is it?
