The palace maid appeared in front of everyone with an old woman in her fifties, judging from her dress, she should be a descendant of a certain family. Intuition told Qiu Luoxue that this person was likely to be a servant in the Taifu Mansion, but she was not sure how much she knew about Xu Zhonghang and Duanfei Niangniang.

"Do you know this person?" Qiu Luoxue asked Nie Yuandao in a low voice.

"It's Concubine Duan's nurse." Nie Yuan replied.

"Ahh Qiu Luoxue first let out a surprised sound, and then said with a sad face: "It's over."

During the conversation between the two, the wet nurse had already asked the emperor for peace, and was now kneeling to answer Concubine Liang's question.

"Miss and the young master are childhood sweethearts, they like each other, they have a very close relationship, before the young lady entered the palace, the two eloped together, and were later arrested by the master's people." The nurse said.

"There is no evidence, you have evidence." Qiu Luoxue asked.

"Most of the people in the house know about this, as long as they are called to confront the slaves and maids, they can know the truth or falsehood." The nurse replied without any panic.

"Your Majesty, since the Prime Minister doesn't believe it, you might as well ......," Concubine Liang proposed.

Before he could finish speaking, Xia Zimo interrupted: "No need, I have already understood the truth about this matter." After that, he glanced at Xu Zhonghang and Duanfei who were hugging each other and said, "Come on, bring the poison."

After Xia Zimo's order, the eunuch quickly presented two cups of poison, which was a poison often used in the court to give death.

"Concubine Duan had an affair with the imperial doctor in the palace, flouted the throne, and the death penalty was unforgivable, so the two of you drank poisoned wine to apologize for the crime." Xia Zimo's majestic voice sounded, and the life and death of the two were decided in an instant, this is the imperial power, which no one can despise.

After Xia Zimo's words were finished, the eunuch walked up to Concubine Duan and Xu Zhonghang with the poison.

Qiu Luoxue couldn't watch them die in front of her, so she ran to Concubine Duan first, lifted her sleeves, and raised her arm, and the palace sand on Concubine Duan's arm showed up.

"Concubine Duan's palace sand is still there, which means that the two of them did not do anything out of the ordinary, but they were given death if they liked each other, this punishment is too severe, please think twice." Qiu Luoxue knelt down after speaking.

"Your Majesty, please think twice." Nie Yuan knelt down as he spoke.

"Although I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but in the end I insulted the dignity of the royal family, and the death penalty is inevitable, so let's do it." Xia Zimo did not change his mind because of Qiu Luoxue's plea.

In the end, the eunuch still rewarded the poisoned wine and handed it to Xu Zhonghang and Concubine Duan respectively.

"I'm sorry, but I bothered you." Concubine Duan looked at Xu Zhonghang and said, tears blurred her vision, and she fell with a click.

Xu Zhonghang stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears for Concubine Duan and said, "It's me who is sorry for you." Xian Chu, you and I can't be husband and wife in the world, so let's go to the underworld to be husband and wife. Let's drink this cup of poisonous wine as if it were a cup of wine. ”

A sad smile appeared on Concubine Duan's pale face, she held Xu Zhonghang's hand and said, "Okay, let's go to the underworld to be husband and wife, no matter where it is, I will accompany you."

"Okay, I'll go ahead of you and keep out the thorns for you." Xu Zhonghang said that at this scene, he couldn't help crying, took out the jade hairpin that he had always treasured from his body, and gently inserted it into her hair.

Qiu Luoxue, who watched the scene of the two saying goodbye, couldn't help but cry.

Childhood sweethearts, who have gone through the best time together, but they are separated at the age of knowing how to love.

See you again, you are the imperial concubine, I am the imperial doctor, but even so, I have to be by your side.

See you in the summer, you and I are speechless when we meet, your face is as delicate as a hibiscus after the rain.

The flush on your face and the strands of hair that slip out of your face are so beautiful that they dazzle me.

I want to call your name, but I'm afraid that my feelings will be known.

If I want to talk to you about the recent lovesickness, I can only ring this jade hairpin at the back place.

Concubine Duan and Xu Zhonghang each picked up a glass of poisoned wine and prepared to drink this glass of wine in the posture of drinking a glass of wine.

Seeing that the wine glass was already on her lips, Qiu Luoxue shouted, "Wait a minute."

After speaking, she knelt in front of the saint and said: "Your Majesty, from the time of the ancestors to the present, the Qiu clan has been awarded two gold medals for avoiding death thanks to the emperor's grace, and Weichen is willing to use these two gold medals to save his lives."

Xia Zimo was not surprised by Qiu Luoxue's proposal, or he had already expected Qiu Luoxue to be like this, and said: "Since the Prime Minister is willing to use the gold medal to save their lives, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped." Concubine Duan led her family to serve the ancestor Taimiao to atone for her sins. Xu Zhonghang cut off his position in the Tai Hospital and was assigned to Changzhou, and without my forgiveness, he would never be allowed to enter Beijing. ”

After Xia Zimo finished speaking, he didn't care about the objections of others, he flicked his sleeves and left, and everyone could only say in unison, "Congratulations to Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, news has come from Bei Ze and Nan Liang respectively."

After Xia Zimo returned to the palace, Jin Fu reported.

"How's it going?" Xia Zimo asked.

"It's all good news." Jin Fu replied with a smile, "Bei Ze is the eldest princess's side that wins, and the rebel Cai Chikun will be executed soon." Nanliang was won by the side of the six princes, and the five princes were given poisoned wine for the crime of poisoning the first emperor. Also, His Royal Highness King Yan replied that he would return to China after participating in the enthronement hall of the six princes. ”

Xia Zimo nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and said, "In this way, he can become the prime minister of the Seven Kingdoms with confidence."

"I think Prime Minister Qiu will be happy to hear this news, does Your Majesty want to summon Prime Minister Qiu?" Kim Bok asked.

Xia Zimo waved his hand and said, "No, he shouldn't want to see me at this time."

"Aixi, how can the emperor be so excessive! Actually beating people like this, what else do you say about royal dignity, can royal dignity matter with human life? Qiu Luoxue returned to the house and scolded angrily.

Looking back at Xu Zhonghang, who was covered in bruises because he blocked the board for Concubine Duan, he could only sleep on his stomach at the moment. Although the injuries have been treated, they are still serious.

"You should be quiet, how can you talk nonsense like this." Xu Zhonghang, who was lying on the bed, did not forget to warn Qiu Luoxue.

"What is nonsense, what I said is the truth, it has been true recently, the more I look at him, the more dissatisfied I become." Qiu Luoxue still said angrily.

A month later, Xu Zhonghang and Duanfei's injuries were almost healed, and they were about to carry out the punishment they had to endure. The royal ancestor Taimiao is on the outskirts of the capital, and Concubine Duan went to live there, because she was guilty of sin, and she could only bring a maid. Naturally, it is not as good as before, but fortunately, it saved his life, which is also a matter of good fortune.

Xu Zhonghang's departure for Changzhou was a few days late, and he was guarded by the officials and sent to Changzhou, and the road ahead was vast, and his injuries had not fully recovered, which was also a toss-up. But fortunately, Mrs. Wu, that is, Xu Zhonghang's adoptive father, and Concubine Duan's biological father is also in Changzhou. It is also a comforting thing for the two of them to take care of each other after they are in place.

"Imperial Doctor Xu is going to leave tomorrow, and I want him to see Concubine Duan for the last time." Qiu Luoxue said to Nie Yuan.

"If someone finds out about this, I am afraid that there will be a lot of right and wrong." Nie Yuan said.

"It should be fine. The emperor ordered that it was strictly forbidden to tell the matter of Concubine Duan and Imperial Doctor Xu, so outsiders did not know the relationship between the two of them. My brother looked at my sister before leaving, no one should suspect this kind of thing, and tomorrow I just need to take care of the servants and the nuns in the temple. Qiu Luoxue said.

"Thank you two for your accommodation, these are a little bit of heart from the original appearance, Changzhou is a long way away, and the two of you take this money to buy some wine to drink." Qiu Luoxue handed the money bag in her hand to the two officials.

As Qiu Luoxue, how could they dare to collect money from two officials? The two hurriedly said: "No, no, the prime minister is polite, this is what a villain should do."

"You're welcome, please take care of Imperial Doctor Xu on the way." Qiu Luoxue stuffed the money bag into their hands.

Seeing this, the two of them accepted it, after all, the money should be indispensable in terms of weight, and after accepting the money, they said, "Thank you, Prime Minister."

"In the meantime, you two should just wander around." Qiu Luoxue said with a smile.

"The villain quits." The two of them finished speaking and left.

"Not far ahead is the Ancestor Taimiao, let's go." After the official left, Qiu Luoxue said.

"As the prime minister of Great Qin, it is not good to take money to bribe the officials." A voice popped up.

Everyone turned their heads to see that it was Xia Ziyan, who was still holding a folding fan as always, with an amorous smile on his face and a pair of amorous eyes, as if everyone was his destined lover.

"What kind of fan do you take in the big autumn, it's not cold, you, in addition to eating, drinking, and having fun, you are a handsome and cool person, and you are embarrassed to talk about me." Qiu Luoxue said mercilessly.

Being ridiculed by Qiu Luoxue with such a sharp point, Xia Ziyan felt a little unbearable on his face, and said unconvinced: "I am the one who has just returned from Nanliang and made great contributions, Su Mufei was able to successfully regain the throne thanks to my help."

"Yes, yes, yes." Qiu Luoxue said perfunctorily, "Your biggest help is that you didn't help him, Su Mufei really wants to thank you very much." ”

"Hey~ You are really ......" Xia Ziyan couldn't say anything about her, she raised her fan and was about to hit her, but Qiu Luoxue, who was quick-eyed, had already hid behind Nie Yuan.

"Time is running out, let's go to Taimiao first." Nie Yuan reminded.

Under Nie Yuan's reminder, everyone went to Taimiao with Xu Zhonghang to see Concubine Duanniang for the last time. It's autumn, and the leaves are all over the ground, and stepping on it makes a "squeak" sound. Autumn is just the right time to leave. The sun shone behind them, casting a warm glow on the fallen leaves all over the ground.

A few people walked to the Taimiao, and under the guidance of a little nun, they went to Duanfei Niangniang, no, it should be said that it was the courtyard where Wu Xianchu lived, and she was no longer the imperial concubine.

When they entered the courtyard, they saw a man they thought they would never see here. The one sitting at the stone table in front of the courtyard happened to meet the eyes of the people who came in.

"Your Majesty? Why are you here? Qiu Luoxue asked in surprise when she saw Xia Zimo, and a vague premonition rose in her heart.
