"Your Majesty, can Weichen go back to his house?" After lunch, Qiu Luoxue asked.

"What are you going back for?" Xia Zimo asked.

"It's not a good thing, it's just ...... You can't stay in the palace all the time. Qiu Luoxue said that although the palace is very good, it is not her own home after all, and it is awkward to stay.

Who knew that Xia Zimo said: "You can stay in the palace all the time, I don't mind."

You don't mind, I don't mind! Qiu Luoxue really wanted to say what she really thought, but unfortunately she didn't dare.

"Your Majesty, maybe I'm under house arrest?" Qiu Luoxue asked again.

Amused by Qiu Luoxue's whimsical question, Xia Zimo said: "I don't mean to put you under house arrest, you can go wherever you want."

"Can I go out for a walk, then? I always stay here and watch the concerto, and I have a headache when I watch it. Qiu Luoxue asked Xia Zimo's opinion.

Looking at Qiu Luoxue with an expectant face, Xia Zimo said, "Go ahead, let Xiao Dezi accompany you."

"Your Majesty." Qiu Luoxue, who got permission, smiled brightly, and went out with Xiao Dezi, looking like a bird that had regained her freedom, and was happily plunging into the outside world.

When Qiu Luoxue went out, he saw Jin Fu, he smiled politely and saluted Qiu Luoxue, and said, "Prime Minister."

"Father-in-law Jin is hard." Qiu Luoxue also said with a smile.

However, she always felt that Jin Fu's smile had a deep meaning, it was an ambiguous laugh. Yes, it's ambiguous. Qiu Luoxue didn't know why she thought of this word, but when she saw Jin Fu recently, he showed this smile.

Soon Qiu Luoxue found that not only Jin Fu had an ambiguous smile on his face when he looked at her, but also the other eunuchs and palace maids he met in the palace seemed to have that kind of smile. This puzzled her until she heard the following conversation, from two idle palace maids.

"Have you heard? Yesterday, the prime minister went to bed with His Majesty. ”

"Why haven't you heard of it, it's spread all over the palace."

"Everyone said that the emperor favored Prime Minister Qiu last night, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"Not really."

"Why not, Prime Minister Qiu is already a good man, and he doesn't suffer if he is favored by the emperor. It's a pity that those of us who want to see the emperor every day, maybe they can turn a sparrow into a phoenix in the eyes of the emperor, but in the end, a man climbed onto the emperor's dragon bed. ”

"It's really shameless, it's not even a good man, but he seduced the emperor, and having such a prime minister is really the misfortune of our Daqin."

“……”

Hearing this, Qiu Luoxue couldn't listen to it anymore, and if she listened to them continue, she didn't know how many ugly words would be waiting for her.

Xiao Dezi, who came with Qiu Luoxue, knew that she was angry when she saw Qiu Luoxue's face, after all, people like them, who are often by the emperor's side, are the best at observing words and feelings.

So he said to the two palace maids, "Presumptuous, are you all right?" I chewed the root of my tongue here, and I didn't want to ask the prime minister for my guilt. ”

The two palace maids were chatting lively, and suddenly heard a voice behind them, and when they turned their heads, they saw Qiu Luoxue and Xiao Dezi, and they were so frightened that they quickly knelt down and said: "The slave and maid should die, please spare your life."

Qiu Luoxue looked at the palace maid kneeling on the ground without any expression on her face, and said, "Just kneel like this, kneel until you die." After saying that, he left without looking back.

She Qiu Luoxue has never been a kind person, but she will not take the initiative to attack others when others do not infringe on her interests, once someone infringes on her interests, then she will not hesitate to bite back.

I originally wanted to go out for a walk and breathe, but I didn't expect to get angry, so I could only go back angrily. But as she walked, thinking of what those people said, and then thinking about the gossip she faced when she came to this world, she was really full of grievances.

She Qiu Luoxue obviously didn't do anything, but she became the target of rumors spread by everyone, first saying that there were countless beautiful men hidden in her house, and then she evolved into having a leg with King Yan, and now she has become the emperor's male favorite. Could it be that she is so casual in Qiu Luoxue, seeing one love and one and sowing seeds widely?

She came to a strange world for no reason, there were many things that did not go well, and there were many things that she didn't want to do but had to do. She is a woman in the whirlpool of power, in this male-dominated world, in order not to be discovered, in order to survive, it is not easy. Those who don't know anything, why are they chewing the root of their tongue behind their backs? Even if she was really protected by the emperor, King Yan and others, it was also her sincerity. Why should those people question it!

She was alone in this strange world, she thought she was used to it, and she thought she was prepared enough to deal with all kinds of changes. But in the end, she is still not strong enough, and she will feel uncomfortable and cry when others speak ill of her.

Even she didn't notice it, the tears fell down drop by drop, and she wanted to reach out to wipe it, but she found that the more she wiped it, the more she wiped it, and finally she simply gave up and cried like this.

Looking at Qiu Luoxue, who went out with a smile but came back crying, Xia Zimo was full of questions, quickly put down the affairs in his hand, walked to Qiu Luoxue's side and asked, "Why are you crying?" Whoever provoked you, tell me, and I'll help you get angry. ”

Because of Xia Zimo, she was talked about, and Qiu Luoxue, who was not in a very stable mood, was angry with him and said loudly: "The emperor is who I am, why should I be angry."

This was the first time she had spoken so loudly in front of Xia Zimo, which made Xia Zimo a little unable to react for a while, and looked at her in a daze.

The atmosphere in the main hall instantly cooled down, and the palace maids and eunuchs next to them were even more frightened and didn't dare to speak, and it was the first time in their lives that they saw someone dare to yell at the emperor.

Xia Zimo was silent for a while, looked at the tears that were still hanging on Qiu Luoxue's face, reached out to wipe away her tears, and said softly, "Didn't you say that you wanted to be friends with me?"

Qiu Luoxue thought that Xia Zimo would be furious, at least very angry. But he behaved so gently, Qiu Luoxue's heart softened suddenly. But thinking about the gossip she will face in the future, she still feels that she should sort out the relationship now. When the judgment is constantly suffering, it is chaotic.

"Your Majesty's status is noble, this friend, the minister can't afford it." After speaking, she took away Xia Zimo's hand that was on her face.

"In the future, between His Majesty and the ministers, there will only be the righteousness of the monarch and the minister. Your Majesty should not be so good to the minister, do not do things that cause misunderstanding between the minister and the world, and the minister does not want to become His Majesty's male favorite. ”

After Qiu Luoxue finished speaking, she turned around and left, looking at her back slowly leaving, Xia Zimo's heart was empty, and there was a faint pain. Is this her farewell to herself?

"Your Majesty, the prince of the Shangyi Bureau came and said that he came to measure the size of Qiu Chengxiang according to His Majesty's orders."

As soon as Qiu Luoxue left, a little eunuch came to report that if he knew what was happening here, he probably wouldn't have come in to report it.

Jin Fu knew that Xia Zimo didn't know anything about this now, so he said to the little eunuch, "Let the prince go back first."

Xia Zimo originally planned to ask the people from the Shangyi Bureau to measure Qiu Luoxue's size and make some clothes to put in the palace. The style and fabric of the clothes should be the same as those he used, because he felt that Qiu Luoxue would often stay in the palace in the future, or often go in and out of the palace. But who would have thought that this sudden change would happen. Qiu Luoxue's words, as well as her crying and leaving, pierced his heart deeply.

"What the hell is going on? Why did Prime Minister Qiu come back crying? Xia Zimo asked Xiao Dezidao, his face was expressionless, his tone was cold, and the air in the hall suddenly dropped a few points because of his cold tone.

Xiao Dezi immediately knelt down and replied: "The slave and Prime Minister Qiu walked near the Imperial Garden, and heard two palace maids talking about His Majesty and Prime Minister Qiu, they said that His Majesty favored Prime Minister Qiu last night, and Prime Minister Qiu is your male favorite, and said something unpleasant, and Prime Minister Qiu became angry."

Xiao Dezi observed Xia Zimo's face as he spoke, and saw that anger gradually appeared on his face, and finally simply said angrily: "Presumptuous."

"Your Majesty is angry, these are all those subordinates who are chewing on the root of their tongues, don't care." Jin Fu saw that the situation was not right, and also knelt down and said.

Xia Zimo's face was full of anger and asked, "What about the two palace maids?"

"Prime Minister Qiu punished them for kneeling in the Imperial Garden." Xiao Dezi replied.

"Cane to death."

Xia Zimo said two short words in his mouth, and he decided the life and death of the two palace maids, it seems that he is very angry now. However, he didn't get up because he listened to those words, but because those words hurt Qiu Luoxue and hurt his way of getting along with Qiu Luoxue.

After that, Xia Zimo drove out all the people around him, leaving only Jin Fu by his side, at this time he had no intention of dealing with government affairs, sitting in a daze, and his thoughts ran to Qiu Luoxue's body.

"I just thought I was happy to be with her, but I didn't expect my liking to cause her so much harm, was I wrong?" Xia Zimo asked, his face full of sadness.

"People always love to talk a lot, and they will forget it in a few days, Your Majesty doesn't have to care too much." Kim Bok reassured.

"I don't care, but he does." Xia Zimo's tone revealed a hint of sadness.

"In the end, I still hurt him." Xia Zimo added, and sighed deeply after speaking, he had just made up his mind to put aside his prejudices and try to be with Qiu Luoxue, because the matter had returned to the situation of being entangled back and forth.

He suddenly remembered what Qiu Luoxue said to him: "Don't like me, we won't have good results."

Thinking of this, Xia Zimo smiled bitterly and said, "There really won't be a good result."

"In the future, Your Majesty and I will only have the righteousness of a monarch and a minister...... This sentence is the most hurtful thing Xia Zimo has ever heard, and it is Qiu Luoxue's farewell to him, which draws an insurmountable gap between them.

There were many times when he wanted to cross the gap between the two, and because of this sentence, he never crossed it after all.

After the wrong beginning, they fell deeper and deeper, and when they wanted to come out, they found that they were already unable to extricate themselves, this is the love between them, how should they deal with themselves in the future? Hopefully we can usher in a happy ending.
