Chapter 34: Similar Looks
It's summer again, and it's been a year since Qiu Luoxue passed away. At night, when everything should be quiet, the Yanwang Mansion was indeed noisy and brightly lit. The main courtyard is Xia Ziyan's courtyard, which is even more lively at the moment, in the courtyard, the red lanterns illuminate the courtyard, and the white moonlight is sprinkled into the courtyard, shining on the busy people.
"Wow......" The baby girl's cry startled the birds perched in the yard.
"Hey, congratulations to the princess, the princess gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and the mother and son are safe." The midwife came from the room, congratulating Xia Ziyan.
Xia Ziyan looked at the two maids holding two babies respectively, each of them was meaty, white and tender, and looked very attractive.
"Okay, good ......" Xia Ziyan said happily, "Everyone, there is a lot of reward." ”
After Xia Ziyan saw the baby, he asked his subordinates to carry them to the house and put them next to Su Muyi, the two children were beside their mother, one left and one right, with big round eyes, very cute.
Xia Ziyan sat on the edge of the bed, stroked Su Muyi's pale face, and said, "Muyi, I've worked hard for you."
"It's something every woman goes through, and I'm glad to have this pair of children left for you." Although Su Muyi was too tired and looked weak when she smiled, she could feel that she was really happy from her smile.
Time passed, and before the moon left the sky, the sun rose. The sky is not yet fully lit, and the hard-working people are already out and busy. The streets and alleys of the capital are still the same as the scene a year ago, revealing comfort in the bustle.
In an open-air tea shop, several people gathered around the table to drink tea and chat. The people in the capital are well-informed, and they are all news of the princes and nobles. People talk about all the gossip.
"Have you heard? Last night, Princess Yan gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses. A man said.
"Really? Oh, that's nice. ”
"Yes, Lord Yan has worked hard to deal with state affairs this year, this is really God's favor."
Their conversation attracted the attention of other people, and even the shopkeeper couldn't help but say: "I thought that Lord Yan was a romantic and amorous person who didn't do business, but I didn't expect him to be able to handle state affairs in an orderly manner."
"Not really. It's all royal blood, and the ability to govern the world is still there. The emperor has not been out of the gate of the Dragon Palace for a year, nor has he gone to the court, so he doesn't want Prince Yan to take on the heavy responsibility of governing the country. Someone else said.
Everyone couldn't help sighing in advance, and someone said: "Speaking of the emperor, it's also a pity, after the death of Prime Minister Qiu, he never left the Qilong Palace." Man, once the heart is dead, it loses its motivation for everyone. ”
"I think back then, our emperor was also a diligent and good emperor, and he never was absent from the government. Seemingly...... His feelings for Prime Minister Qiu are really not ordinarily deep. Someone answered.
So their topic changed from Xia Ziyan to discussing the issue of Xia Zimo and Qiu Luoxue. It seems that Qiu Luoxue's influence is not small, and she can still be remembered so deeply after death.
In the memories of these ordinary people, Qiu Luoxue has not disappeared. What's more, it's Xia Zimo, he should have a deeper impression of Qiu Luoxue. As the people said, after Qiu Luoxue's death, Xia Zimo's heart also died, so he drew the ground as a prison and did not take half a step out of the Dragon Palace all year round.
Inside the Dragon Palace
Xia Zimo stood with his hands in front of the window, and the bright sunlight shone on the trees in the palace. The sun outside was too bright, and it seemed that the inside of the Qilong Hall was even darker.
"It's been a year, and I still can't forget you." Xia Zimo said, his eyes were not focused, and he didn't know where to stop.
"Your Majesty, it's time for dinner." Jin Fu stood behind Xia Zimo and reminded carefully.
"Put it down." Xia Zimo said simply, and the previous domineering and arrogance in his tone were all gone. Instead, it was very light and faint, like a voice from outside the sky.
The people of the Beijing teahouse are still chatting, and it seems that their days are also very leisurely.
"The emperor's feelings for Prime Minister Qiu can stand the test. The minister of this persuasion went in and out of the palace no less than 100 times, and even the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty knelt in front of the Qilong Palace and asked the emperor to come out to preside over the court situation, but he was stunned and did not come out. It's not that there is no way, so Concubine Jiang Guifei came forward to ask Prince Yan to preside over the government. ”
"Since the emperor has such a deep affection for Prime Minister Qiu, why did he remove Prime Minister Qiu from his official position in the first place. If Prime Minister Qiu had been in the capital, he would not have encountered such an accident. Someone asked, involving Qiu Luoxue's resignation a year ago.
Since someone asked, someone also gave an answer: "A year ago, Prince Chen did not send troops to the capital to coerce the emperor to remove Prime Minister Qiu from his official position. Prime Minister Qiu was kind-hearted, and he couldn't bear the people of the capital to be in the midst of the war, so he forced each other to die, and the emperor dismissed Prime Minister Qiu from his official position. ”
"King Chen is really bad, isn't this a forced breakup of the emperor and Prime Minister Qiu, if it weren't for him, Prime Minister Qiu should have become the queen of Great Qin by now."
Some people guessed this, but this was just speculation, and it was in vain after all, because Qiu Luoxue had passed away, and that day would not come.
"Well, when you say that, I think of something. On the day that the news of Prime Minister Qiu's death reached the capital, it was raining heavily, and I happened to go out and saw the emperor wearing a dragon robe and going out of the city in heavy rain. The man's tone was a little mysterious, and what he said was unknown to everyone.
"Then I must have gone to find Prime Minister Qiu, what happened later?" Someone asked curiously.
"Some people say that he went to take revenge on the person who killed Prime Minister Qiu." The person who spoke before said again, his voice was so low that the people around him had to lean over if they wanted to hear clearly.
"The person who killed Prime Minister Qiu...... Who is it? Did you find it? The people continued to ask.
The person who spoke before said regretfully: "If I find it, I will definitely report it to the whole country, and if I take revenge on the emperor, I won't be able to get out of the shadows until now."
"Then you say, who killed Prime Minister Qiu?" Someone asked again.
Who killed Qiu Luoxue is another question that has been discussed for a long time by the people of the capital.
The person who spoke first suddenly sat up straight and looked around vigilantly. When everyone saw his mysterious appearance, they guessed that he must know, so they leaned over and listened to the answer with their ears open.
"I heard...... It was Chen Wangye who killed Prime Minister Qiu. ”
"What?"
"Really?"
"Why did Prince Chen kill Prime Minister Qiu?"
"......" everyone began to discuss.
"You still don't understand this, isn't Prince Chen the one who forced Prime Minister Qiu Cheng to resign. The two of them had a feud, and King Chen was afraid that Prime Minister Qiu would come back and threaten him, so he naturally struck first. ”
The people of the capital were talking about King Chen, and King Chen, who was far away from the capital, naturally couldn't hear it, he was indulging in his rebellious plan at the moment, and he was delusional about one day ascending to the throne.
King Chen is Xia Zimo's imperial uncle, and he will be sixty years old in a few years. In addition, his health has not been good, and he is always worried that he will die early. In terms of time, he definitely couldn't survive Xia Zimo, so he decided to completely defeat Xia Zimo this year.
Qiu Luoxue's death was the most successful thing he did, and Xia Zimo couldn't afford it because of it. And he also has another killer weapon in his hands, once this trick comes out, Xia Zimo has no room to return.
"Cher, see her father-in-law." A woman knelt under a magnolia tree and saluted King Chen in front of her.
This woman is King Chen's killer weapon, King Chen was very happy to see the woman, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, get up quickly."
"Thank you, Father." The woman stood up as she spoke.
Her voice was a little familiar, and she couldn't see her face clearly when she lowered her head just now. Now that she stood up, the Alluring face was revealed. What is surprising is that the woman in front of her looks like Qiu Luoxue.
"How's your father doing with your homework?" King Chen asked with a look of kindness.
The woman, who looked like Qiu Luoxue, smiled playfully and said, "Well, it's almost there." Her playful posture is also the same as Qiu Luoxue, if she is not Qiu Luoxue, she is trying to imitate Qiu Luoxue's demeanor.
"Haha, okay." King Chen walked as he spoke, and the woman walked with him.
"You are the best weapon to deal with Xia Zimo, and the great cause of being a father depends on you." Chen Wang said again.
"Why am I the best weapon against the Holy One today?" The woman asked, puzzled.
King Chen looked at the woman with a smile, a treacherous look flashed in his eyes, and said, "Because you look exactly the same as Emperor Qin's sweetheart." After the woman's death, he was almost a wreck. If you come to him at this time, he will definitely be obedient to you. At that time, you will assist in carrying out the plan for your father, and the world of Great Qin will be ours. ”
At the mention of this, Chen Wang couldn't help but get excited, and he felt more and more that his plan was seamless. I also feel that the emperor's throne is close at hand.
"Xue'er will definitely help her father-in-law get the throne." The woman said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, it's my good daughter." Chen Wang said.
"By the way, my daughter heard that the woman she likes in the saint is called Qiu Luoxue, and my father-in-law named me Xia Yixue, is it related to her?" Xia Yixue asked.
King Chen nodded and said, "That's right, it's really related to her." But there's another layer. Before, when the emperor made a private visit to Weifu, he used the pseudonym Nian Luo, which was actually the meaning of thinking about Qiu Luoxue. The name Yixue was given to you by your father, which is to recall the meaning of Qiu Luoxue. First, he was in harmony with the emperor's pseudonym, and secondly, he remembered Qiu Luoxue when he was reminded of this name. He will be better for you that way. ”
Xia Yixue quietly listened to King Chen's explanation and said, "My father-in-law is wise. Your plan is so good, you can definitely hide from the throne. ”
"Well, you can practice Qiu Luoxue's demeanor and tone again in the past few days, and if you don't know, ask AVIC. A month later, my father will bring you to Beijing. Chen Wang said.
Since he chose to enter Beijing, it means that his plan is about to begin.
