Chapter 53: The Great Ideal of Unifying the Seven Kingdoms

After returning to the palace, the eldest princess thought of Su Mufei again, and his appearance left a mark in her heart, as for whether this brand developed in a good or bad way, it is unknown.

"Send someone to find out the man who saved me today." The eldest princess commanded.

"Yes."

"The eldest princess won't really like Su Mufei." Xia Ziyan entered Qiu Luoxue's room and asked.

"It's very likely to follow this trend." Qiu Luoxue said that she was very confident in the fact that she had planned this matter.

"The eldest princess of Beize must not marry Nanliang." Xia Ziyan suddenly said seriously.

It was rare to see Xia Ziyan with such a serious attitude, which made Qiu Luoxue a little flustered and asked, "Why can't you?"

"If the two great powers of Beize and Nanliang marry, it means that they will form a political alliance, and if they join forces to deal with Great Qin in the future, will we really have the ability to deal with it?" Xia Ziyan said.

"Isn't Da Qin still going to marry Nan Liang?" Qiu Luoxue asked rhetorically.

"Do you think that Princess Nan Liangmu is compared to Princess Beize?" Xia Ziyan asked Qiu Luoxue rhetorically.

Qiu Luoxue thought about it carefully, it was true, Su Muyi was just a not very favored princess in Nanliang, and there was no political power behind her, and the only brother she could rely on was just using her. And the eldest princess of Beize is different, if she successfully gets rid of Cai Shu, she will definitely take power, at least until her younger brother becomes an adult, Beize's political power is under her control.

"But...... Su Mufei just wanted to compete for the reserve. Qiu Luoxue said.

"What about after you succeed in ascending to the throne? Do you think he only has the heart to compete for the crown and has no idea about unifying the Seven Kingdoms? It's just that the time hasn't come yet, and any monarch of the Seven Kingdoms will not be willing to defend only his own territory. Xia Ziyan said, this is the status quo of the Seven Kingdoms.

"Does the emperor have such an idea?" Qiu Luoxue asked, she suddenly remembered the man who was far away in Great Qin, a man with an extraordinary kingly bearing, did he also want to unify the Seven Kingdoms?

It was late at night, Xia Zimo couldn't sleep peacefully, so he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion through the secret passage of the palace, and came to Qiu Luoxue's room with ease. There was no light in the room because there was no one. Xia Zimo lit the candle in the room by himself, and the candle flame was imprinted on his face, and his face was slightly red.

The furnishings in the room are still the same as when Qiu Luoxue was there, but Qiu Luoxue's figure is missing, because the owner is not there, the curtain next to the bed has been put down, and it is fluttering in the wind at the moment, touching Xia Zimo's hand from time to time.

"I regret it now, I shouldn't have let you go that far, I miss you." Xia Zimo said, he gently picked up the curtain with his hand, and the soft touch stopped on the palm of his hand, as if holding Qiu Luoxue's hand. A gust of wind blew, and the curtain slipped away from Xia Zimo's palm.

Qiu Luoxue wandered around in front of Su Mufei's door for a while, but still pushed the door in, and as soon as she pushed the door, she saw Su Mufei naked in the room, so frightened that she quickly turned her back.

Su Mufei was unhurried, and he didn't mean to get dressed, and said, "We are both men, why are you shy?"

Qiu Luoxue thought about it carefully, and it was right, so she simply faced Su Mufei and said: "I've been used to wearing women's clothes recently, and I'm too deep in the play." By the way, this one is for you. She said and handed the small porcelain bottle in her hand to Su Mufei, and continued: "Aren't you beaten today, it will be better to scribble this, Nie Shishi said that this is very effective."

Su Mufei took the porcelain vase, looked at it for a while, and then handed it to Qiu Luoxue again, saying, "You can help me with the medicine."

"Why don't you do it yourself?" Qiu Luoxue said.

"The place where the injury is in the back, which is inconvenient." Su Mufei said.

"Ah, yes." Qiu Luoxue remembered at this time, took the porcelain bottle, and said, "Sit down, I'll help you with the medicine."

After Su Mufei sat down, Qiu Luoxue saw the injury on his back, and the place where he was hit by the stick was a large bruise, especially compared with the other skin on his back.

"Oh my God! It's such a big piece of green. Qiu Luoxue said in surprise, gently touched the place on his hand, and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts." Su Mufei replied very honestly.

"Uh......" Qiu Luoxue was speechless for a moment, in this case, doesn't the general plot say that it doesn't hurt?

"It doesn't hurt when you apply this, and it's said to be a good medicine." Qiu Luoxue barely found a topic, the reason why she came here was to set up information, but she couldn't talk about it.

Qiu Luoxue gently applied ointment to him, for fear that her movements would aggravate his pain. Under the candlelight, Su Mufei turned her back to Qiu Luoxue, but she could still feel the temperature from her palm, and for some reason she felt a little itchy in her heart. Maybe it's because when Qiu Luoxue bows her head, her long hair will touch his skin. For a moment, he also regarded Qiu Luoxue as a woman.

"Are you really, not a woman?" Su Mufei asked suddenly.

Qiu Luoxue didn't seem to expect him to ask, and the hand that applied the ointment to him hesitated, but she quickly returned to normal, and did not answer positively, but said: "You say that the prime minister of Great Qin is not conducive to the friendship between the two countries."

"Angry?" Su Mufei asked, he turned his back to Qiu Luoxue and couldn't see her face.

Qiu Luoxue looked indifferent and replied, "Don't be angry."

"Why?" Su Mufei asked.

"It's not my fault that I'm beautiful, because I'm beautiful and you misunderstand me as a woman, and I can't blame you." Qiu Luoxue said narcissistically.

There was no doubt that Su Mufei couldn't help but laugh when he heard her words, he couldn't take it anymore. However, he suddenly felt that this prime minister of Daqin was still very interesting. No wonder Xia Zimo must keep her by his side.

Xia Zimo sat on the edge of Qiu Luoxue's bed, and he couldn't sleep anyway, so he just sat here for a while longer, feeling the breath of Qiu Luoxue. The sharp-eyed man saw something under Qiu Luoxue's pillow, so he took it out and took a look.

It turned out that it was a diagram of the relationship between the four major families of Great Qin drawn by Qiu Luoxue, and the relationship between the characters of the four families was recorded in detail. Seeing this picture, Xia Zimo remembered that he had told Qiu Luoxue about someone plotting to usurp the throne.

"Is it because of my words that you think about these issues?" Xia Zimo unconsciously raised a smile and said, "Seeing that the drawings on the paper are so messy, there should be no less entanglement." He could roughly think of Qiu Luoxue's tangled expression when she thought about these questions, which must be very cute.

"Will you marry the princess of Kitazawa?" Qiu Luoxue asked Su Mufei.

"No, it won't." Su Mufei said that he was getting dressed at this time, and the medicine had already been taken, so it was better to put it on, otherwise he would always feel weird in his heart.

"Why?" Qiu Luoxue asked, "Don't you want to compete for the throne?" Princess Kitazawa's political power can just help you. ”

"I don't like her." Su Mufei said.

Qiu Luoxue had an expression of disbelief on her face, pouted and said, "Hey, do people like you still talk about feelings?"

"People like me...... Who am I? Su Mufei asked.

"The lust for power is overwhelming." Qiu Luoxue commented simply, this is indeed her impression of Su Mufei.

"For the sake of the throne, he framed his royal brother, and even stabbed himself." Qiu Luoxue said.

At this moment, Su Mufei turned around, the button of his shirt had not yet been fastened, and Qiu Luoxue saw the wound on his shoulder, which was injured during the assassination of Daqin, and was later confirmed by Xu Zhonghang that it was his own stabbing.

"Here, you stabbed yourself, in order to frame your royal brother." Qiu Luoxue pointed to the scars on his body and said.

Su Mufei looked down at the scars on his body, and then raised his head to look at Qiu Luoxue, and the process of raising his eyes seemed to have a deep meaning.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Qiu Luoxue was a little frightened by his eyes and asked.

"It's not good to know too much." Su Mufei looked away as he spoke, tidied up his clothes, and covered his scars.

"What, are you going to kill me?" Qiu Luoxue asked.

Su Mufei glanced at her and said, "I won't kill you, but others may not."

The night was deep, the moon was lonely, the people on the ground had fallen asleep, Su Mufei did not sleep, standing in front of the window with his hands in his hands, looking at the lonely earth. He couldn't see anything in the night, maybe he just needed to look at a certain place. Not far behind him, there was a table on which a porcelain vase sent by Qiu Luoxue was placed, and a candle flame was projected on it, illuminating the porcelain vase transparently. The wind blew in from the window, swept through the corners of Su Mufei's clothes, and the candles were swaying.

The candle flame on the table flickered, and the shadow cast on the wall also moved, and Xia Zimo, who was sitting on Qiu Luoxue's bed, also moved, he folded the paper in his hand and put it close to his body.

"Who?" Xia Zimo was just about to get up and leave, when he heard movement outside, and asked in a stern voice.

Xiyue walked in from the outside, saw Xia Zimo in a dragon robe, and quickly knelt down and said, "Slave Xiyue, participate in the emperor."

"Why are you here so late at night?" Xia Zimo asked, not only his voice was cold, but his eyes were also cold.

"The slave couldn't sleep at night, so she wandered around the house, and when she saw the lights on in the courtyard of the son, she was curious, so she came in." Xiyue replied that she didn't dare to look up at Xia Zimo when she spoke.

Xia Zimo looked at her for a while and said, "Go down."

"Yes, the slave and maid are gone." As if she had been released, Shizuki quickly stood up and left.

After Xiyue left, Xia Zimo also came out of Qiu Luoxue's room, and then a black-clothed man fell beside him because of his flying body.

"There was only one candle lit in the room, and the light inside was not visible from outside the courtyard." Xia Zimo said, there is no doubt that he has doubts about Xiyue.

"Send someone to check on the woman." Xia Zimo said again, he was more cautious about the people who often stayed by Qiu Luoxue's side.

Qiu Luoxue treats people kindly, and still retains an innocent attitude, thinking that there are still more good people in the world, and that's because she doesn't know her survival situation. Xia Zimo didn't want to tell Qiu Luoxue about those dangerous things, he wanted to keep her innocence and smile, so he could only silently eliminate dangerous factors for her in the dark.
