Chapter 40: Willing to be fooled
Su Muyi returned to the mansion and remembered Qiu Luoxue's words about moving her child, and she still felt shocked. Thinking about it carefully, Xia Ziyan was arrested, and Xia Zimo listened to Qiu Luoxue's words very much, if she wanted to do it, then Su Muyi really had no ability to resist.
So she immediately wrote a letter to Su Mufei, who was far away in Nanliang, for help. After writing the letter, she handed the letter to the guards brought from Nanliang and said, "Send this letter to Nanliang to my imperial brother, remember, you must give it to him personally." Don't delay on the road, you won't have to come back when you're done. ”
But the news of this letter was soon known to King Chen, and he arranged a lot of manpower in the capital, so he knew every move of the princes and ministers.
"Whatever you do, intercept that letter right away." King Chen ordered his men to be humane.
"Yes." King Chen's men said in unison, and as they spoke, they wanted to go out to intercept the letter.
Great Qin has two powerful assassin organizations, one is the Shadow Guard, who accepts orders from the emperor to do things for the emperor, and the supreme commander is Nie Yuan. The second is the secret guard, which is also the organization that assassinated Prime Minister Qiu Luoxue at the beginning, they are dedicated to King Chen, and they were founded by King Chen.
It can be seen from this that King Chen's strength is very strong. There are ministers in the court who obey him, and generals in the army who obey him, who hide their own armies and have a killer organization. It can be said that Xia Zimo has it all. It was precisely because of this that Xia Zimo did not dare to move him. It's just that he never wanted to coexist peacefully with Xia Zimo.
The guards were about to set off, but they heard a woman's voice: "Stop."
This voice came from Qiu Luoxue, and she walked in from outside as soon as the words fell. The secret guards also knew that she was King Chen's adopted daughter, and King Chen had been very respectful of her recently, so she said to stop, and those people didn't dare to move.
"Father-in-law shouldn't be the messenger who sent these people to chase Princess Yan, right?" After walking in, Qiu Luoxue asked.
King Chen replied with a look of displeasure on his face, "It's true, but I don't know why you're stopping them."
Seeing that he was angry, Qiu Luoxue was not afraid, smiled and said, "Why does my father-in-law spend all this strength to chase them." The reason why Princess Yan asked Nan Liang for help was because she was afraid that she would be assassinated by me and encounter accidents. Of course, this kind of letter for help should be sent. ”
"Why?" King Chen asked, it seeming that he had not yet understood.
"Just imagine, what was the first thing Nanliang Huang did when he received this letter for help?" Qiu Luoxue asked.
"Naturally, he handed over his credentials to Daqin and sent an envoy to pick up Su Muyi back to China, and maybe even Xia Ziyan took him away." King Chen replied that what he was most afraid of was that Daqin and Nan Liang would join forces, so that his chances of success would be much smaller.
"But he said to pick up, did Daqin have to let her go? Or what if Su Muyi dies in the process? What will Nanliang Huang think when the time comes? Qiu Luoxue continued to ask.
"Naturally, I will blame Da Qin for not taking good care of ......" Speaking of this, King Chen suddenly stopped, because he understood what Qiu Luoxue meant. After tomorrow, he laughed and said, "yes, yes, why didn't I think of it?"
"If Su Muyi died in Daqin and was assassinated, then Emperor Nanliang would definitely not give up, whether it was for family affection or face, he would come to Daqin to settle accounts." Chen Wang said.
"That's right, Nanliang wants to be held accountable, but Daqin can't give an answer, so the relationship between the two countries will naturally deteriorate at that time. The father-in-law didn't have to worry that Nan Liang would help Daqin. Qiu Luoxue said.
Chen Wang looked at Qiu Luoxue with satisfaction, and suddenly felt that he was a good girl, and he said approvingly: "Xue'er, your attention is really useful." Very good, when the news comes from Nanliang, I will solve Su Muyi. ”
"Father-in-law, can Su Muyi hand it over to me to deal with?" Qiu Luoxue asked again, not knowing what she was going to do.
"Oh? Why? Chen Wang asked.
"Because that woman insulted me today, I want to teach her a lesson." Qiu Luoxue said.
"I've heard about the quarrel between you and her in front of the prison." King Chen said, "Okay, if there is revenge, it will be avenged, and if it is a big deal, Su Muyi's matter will be handed over to you to deal with." ”
"Xue'er thanked her father." Qiu Luoxue said happily.
"Does the emperor really believe that Lord Yan is plotting against your future queen and his imperial sister-in-law?" Jiang Guifei broke into Xia Zimo's imperial study and asked.
"I saw this with my own eyes, so you don't have to get involved." Xia Zimo said coldly, he was also very shameless when he said this.
"Some things don't have to be true." Jiang Guifei said.
Xia Zimo raised his eyes to look at her and asked, "What you saw with your own eyes is not true, so who do you want me to believe?"
"Isn't Your Majesty already convinced? That fake Qiu Luoxue's woman. Jiang Guifei said.
"Presumptuous." Xia Zimo glared at Concubine Jiang and said, "That woman is Qiu Luoxue, not a fake, don't say these things in front of me in the future." ”
"Does the emperor want to continue to deceive himself like this? That person is obviously not Qiu Luoxue. You also know that Qiu Luoxue in the past would never do anything to assassinate others. Jiang Guifei and Xia Zimo were on the same page, and their tone was even a little bad.
And Xia Zimo was anxious to show his authority, and his tone was also very impulsive, and he said: "She won't be like this now." It's because you ill-intentioned people can't get used to me pampering her, and find all kinds of reasons to provoke me and her. Do you think I'm going to fall for you? ”
"Then is the emperor willing to fall for King Chen?" Jiang Guifei asked rhetorically, "Isn't King Chen a scheming person?" In order to make His Majesty lose control of the court, he tried to force you to remove Prime Minister Qiu, and then harmed Prime Minister Qiu after she lost her official position. Have you forgotten all this? Now he doesn't know where to find a woman who is similar to Qiu Cheng, have you forgotten all about the previous ones? ”
"Of course I won't forget, it's just that King Chen's matter has nothing to do with Luo Xue. Don't use King Chen to sarcastically mock her. Whoever she is now, I have to keep her by my side. Xia Zimo said firmly.
I'm afraid this is the type of person who knows he'll be fooled, but still jumps in without hesitation. It's just that this dang, it's better not to be on it.
Qiu Luoxue walked in the back garden of King Chen's mansion, and the scenery here is also very good. As far as the eye can see, there is a lake, and the surrounding green trees are projected on the surface of the lake, lining the lake with green, like a huge emerald. In the center of the lake there is a small sandbar jutting out of the water, and a pavilion is built on the sandbar. Qiu Luoxue saw Xu Zhonghang in the pavilion from a distance.
So she said to the maid beside her, "You wait for me here."
Then she walked towards the pavilion in the lake, and on the surface of the lake, a wooden path was paved for people to walk, and Qiu Luoxue stepped on these planks and walked towards the pavilion step by step.
The wooden path is very close to the water, and occasionally fish jump up and splash a puddle of water on the board. On the water, there are occasionally a few small sandbars, but because they are small, only a few ornamental trees are planted on them.
"Imperial Doctor Xu is so interested, he actually looks at the scenery here." Qiu Luoxue said after walking into the pavilion.
"It's just sitting idle, and the Snow Maiden also comes to see the scenery, so she must be in a good mood." Xu Zhonghang got up and said that he still had to pay more attention to the woman in front of him.
Qiu Luoxue smiled and said, "I'm here to find someone."
"You must have come to me, did you?" Xu Zhonghang asked.
"You're the only one in this pavilion, who do you think I'm looking for?" Qiu Luoxue looked at Xu Zhonghang and asked.
"I wonder what the Snow Maiden is looking for me?" Xu Zhonghang asked.
"Make a deal." Qiu Luoxue said, "I asked Your Majesty to pardon Wu Xianchu, and you can help me dispose of that person." As she spoke, Qiu Luoxue's gaze turned to the maid on the other side of the lake.
Xu Zhonghang followed Qiu Luoxue's gaze and asked in surprise, "Smoke willow?" Why deal with her? ”
"I had something to do, and she was an eyesore around her." Qiu Luoxue said, it was casual to dispose of someone from her mouth.
"Deal, but maybe you'll have to make some effort too." Xu Zhonghang said that it is still very easy to deal with a maid.
"No problem, as long as you can get rid of her." Qiu Luoxue said, stood up as she spoke, and added, "Find me again after you think of a way." With that, she left.
The long dress dragged on the wooden pavement and was stained with the lake water, but her posture of moving Qinglian like this was still beautiful in the light of the setting sun.
The news of the emperor's marriage has been spread for several days, and Nie Yuan, who is at the border, has also received the news, and he can't help muttering when he hears the news.
"Exactly the same person? How is that possible? Nie Yuan muttered to himself.
"How could it not be? The world is so big that there are no surprises. Cai Ying walked in at this time and said.
A year ago, Cai won the news of Qiu Luoxue's death, which was both shocked and sad, the woman who saved him twice passed away before he could make a return.
However, he did not forget the agreement with Qiu Luoxue, and seriously thought about whether to take revenge for a year, and if he wanted revenge, he would go to Qiu Luoxue. Qiu Luoxue was dead, so he went to find Nie Yuan, who let him go. So he came to the border, but he couldn't beat Nie Yuan as good as others, so he could only put aside the matter of revenge. And he himself and Nie Yuan became friends after fighting, so he simply stayed at the border to accompany Nie Yuan.
With wine, swords, and friends, this comfortable feeling will make him forget many things in the past, and his heart will be purified a lot.
"Even if the face is the same, the personality cannot be exactly the same. It's just that why did the emperor treat that woman as Luo Xue? Nie Yuan said puzzled.
"You, say such cool words, even if you don't see her in person, if you do, you will be fascinated and confused." Cai Ying told the truth.
Nie Yuan didn't know if he would be fascinated by that woman, if that person appeared in front of him, he might not be able to restrain his feelings, so he could still understand Xia Zimo's actions.
