"Niangniang, Your Majesty decreed that the matter of Concubine Duanniang be handed over to the Prime Minister to deal with." The palace maid reported to the concubine.

When Concubine Jiang heard this, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was talking to herself, and said: "There has never been a precedent for foreign ministers to interfere in the affairs of the harem, what does Your Majesty mean by this will?" ”

"I heard that Prime Minister Qiu has gone to Feixia Palace, is Niangniang just letting him take over the affairs of Concubine Duanniang?" The palace maid asked again.

"What if you don't let it go? That person is the most noble person in Daqin except for the emperor, so don't provoke it. This palace doesn't want to end up as a virtuous concubine. Jiang Guifei said, it seems that she is still a smart person.

The first thing Qiu Luoxue did after getting Xia Zimo's authorization was to go to Feixia Palace to see Concubine Duan, and as soon as she entered Feixia Palace, she felt a bleak feeling. According to the rank of Concubine Duan, there should be many people in the palace who are dressed in clothes, but now there is no one else except for an apricot. Duanfei herself is even more, her already pale face has become fairer, she doesn't look like she has put on makeup, her hair is naturally vertical, although it is not unkempt, but it has also lost its former brilliance, but it is still beautiful, and it adds a haggard beauty, which makes people pity when they look at it.

"This prime minister is here on the orders of His Majesty, Niangniang ......," Qiu Luoxue said.

"For that incident, this palace has no way to justify, and it is up to His Majesty to do so. Your Excellency, please tell Your Majesty what Hongu has said. cough, cough, cough, cough ......" After Concubine Duan finished speaking, there was a strong coughing sound, and her pathology was undoubted.

Qiu Luoxue knew that she was weak and always needed to take medicine for maintenance. It's just that after being confined in captivity, there will probably be no imperial doctor to treat her, and there will be no expensive medicine for her to maintain her body.

"Concubine Duanniang is unwell, go and ask a royal doctor to come over." Qiu Luoxue said to the eunuch who came with her.

"Yes." After the eunuch finished answering, he went out to ask for the imperial doctor.

"No matter what the final result is, Niangniang should take care of her body, so that people who care about you can rest assured." Qiu Luoxue's words implied something, but I don't know if Concubine Duan can guess the deep meaning of her words.

"This is the list of eunuchs, palace maids and imperial doctors who were present on the day of the emperor's violent death. It's just that after the fifth prince ascended the throne, the palace personnel were cleaned up, and most of them were no longer in the palace. Lan Yan handed Su Mufei a piece of paper full of names and told him the basic situation.

"Where is Zhongman, the chief eunuch beside my father, now?" Su Mufei asked.

"With the permission of the new emperor, he has left the palace and returned to his hometown." Blue Smoke replied methodically.

The most famous Qinglou Drunken Flower Building in Nanliang Capital, the nominal boss is Lan Yan, but the force behind it is Su Mufei. Qinglou has always been the fastest and most convenient place to collect intelligence, and establishing an intelligence network here is also a wise move by Su Mufei.

"Bring him to me, and he will live." Su Mufei said, compared to the light cloud in the past, he now has a more cold atmosphere, maybe he was originally such a character.

"Yes." Blue Smoke said, her voice still soft, sounding like an auditory feast.

"In addition, check the guards who parked the Ancestral Emperor Dragon Temple." Su Mufei said again.

"Is Your Highness going to Taimiao?" Blue Smoke asked.

Su Mufei's tone was a little unpredictable, and he said, "Always take a look before you are buried."

"Blue Smoke understood." Blue Smoke said.

"Let's go down." Su Mufei said.

Lan Yan curtsied and turned to leave, and just a few steps away, Su Mufei suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

"What else does Your Highness command?" Blue Smoke asked.

"Go and check the prime minister of Daqin, all the information about him is required." Su Mufei said.

"Why is His Highness suddenly interested in him, is there something wrong?" Blue Smoke asked.

"It's not a problem. It's just that I always have a delusion. Su Mufei said, it was elusive between the words.

"What delusion?" Blue Smoke asked.

An illusion that she was a woman. Su Mufei said silently in her heart, and in a trance she returned to the day when Qiu Luoxue drugged him, and the porcelain bottle she left on the inn table that day was probably gone.

"How is she?" Xu Zhonghang waited anxiously in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and as soon as Qiu Luoxue returned, he asked about Concubine Duan's situation.

"The emperor has handed over this matter to me for investigation, and she can only be confined to Feixia Palace for the time being, although she is not free, but she is not in danger." Qiu Luoxue replied that she had concealed Concubine Duan's illness, so as not to worry Xu Zhonghang.

"Although there is no danger now, this matter cannot be delayed forever, you must always give Your Majesty the truth, how do you plan to solve the follow-up matter?" Nie Yuan asked.

Obtaining investigation and persuasion is only the first step, and how to operate after that is the most critical. Qiu Luoxue thought for a while and said: "This is not the first time that the palace concubines have competed for favor and assassination, and the possibility of being framed is not small."

"That waist pendant is indeed mine." Xu Zhonghang suddenly interjected.

"......" Qiu Luoxue was speechless for a while, and then raised her fist to make a move to hit Xu Zhonghang, and said, "You, it's really ...... Before I left, I specifically reminded you not to have illusions about Concubine Duan, you just don't listen. Not only did he run to the palace in three days, but he also gave his waist to others, now it's okay, see how you end. ”

"If Your Majesty treats her well, I can naturally let her go in the palace with peace of mind, but ......" Xu Zhonghang's voice was a little low, "but she is not happy in the palace." ”

"Unhappiness is because there are worries in my heart, and if I am worried, I can't let go of my feelings, and I can't live a stable life in the palace like ordinary people." Qiu Luoxue said.

Regarding the matter of Concubine Duan, I haven't found a particularly good way to deal with it, so I can only drag it out, and Qiu Luoxue still has this ability. This matter was put on hold for the time being, and Qiu Luoxue returned to her normal track and began her career of getting up early to go to the court.

"Your Majesty, after Wei Qing was shelved for investigation, the Inner History Mansion has been vacant, the Inner History Mansion has no main master, and the government affairs have fallen into chaos. Jiang Shilian proposed above the court.

What Jiang Qing said was very true. What do you think about the candidates for the history of the country? Xia Zimo asked Qiu Luo Snow Road.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all set their eyes on Qiu Luoxue, waiting for her to answer, but before she could speak, some people among the ministers had already begun to whisper, after all, His Majesty asked questions, and there was a reason not to answer.

Xia Zimo also felt strange and turned his gaze to Qiu Luoxue, only to find that she was standing and asleep! This really made Xia Zimo cry and laugh. But this can't be blamed on Qiu Luoxue, she hasn't been to the court for a long time, how can she adapt to this early life?

Qiu Luoxue was confused, and she also felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so she barely opened her eyes, and saw Xia Zimo sitting on the top seat looking at her, she didn't know what was going on, so she looked at Xia Zimo with a questioning gaze.

"Did the prime minister fall asleep when he went to court?" After all, there are many people in the court, so it is inconvenient to ask this question, and after the next court, Xia Zimo left Qiu Luoxue alone and asked.

When she fell asleep in the court, she was discovered by the emperor, Qiu Luoxue quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty, saying, "Weichen knows his mistake."

Xia Zimo smiled helplessly and said, "I just asked, I didn't mean to blame you, get up."

"Thank you, Emperor Longen." Qiu Luoxue got up after bowing.

"You can fall asleep standing in the court, I'm afraid you are the first." Xia Zimo said in a joking tone.

Qiu Luoxue hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, you can't blame Weichen for this, it's really because the time of the last dynasty is too early. When the court is early, the ministers wait outside the noon gate when they are waiting, which means that they have to get up at midnight, and they have too little sleep, so they will be sleepy. ”

"This Manchu Dynasty can adapt to civil and military affairs, why can't you be the only one?" Xia Zimo said.

As soon as he said this, Qiu Luoxue really couldn't refute, so she could only mumble in a low voice: "You can't blame me for this, I haven't gotten up early for two months, how can I not be sleepy."

Although Qiu Luoxue was muttering in a low voice, she was still heard by Xia Zimo, hooked her lips and said with a smile: "The Prime Minister's Mansion is indeed far away from the palace, and the early dynasty can't be missed, why don't you stay in the palace from today, you can get up a little later." Next time, I can't fall asleep in the morning. ”

Xia Zimo's proposal can be said to be very bold, letting the courtiers stay in the palace, this is absolutely unprecedented, if it is known by outsiders, there will not necessarily be any gossip.

Qiu Luoxue hurriedly refused politely: "Your Majesty is very loving, and Weichen understands it." It's just that staying in the palace has a lot to do with it, and there are many inconveniences. Isn't there a secret passage between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial Palace? It's better to come from the dark channel tomorrow, and it can also save a lot of time. ”

"How can there be a reason to go to court from the secret road, and if the soldiers of the noon gate did not see you enter the palace, but saw you coming out of the palace, wouldn't it be even more speculative." Xia Zimo said.

"yes." Qiu Luoxue suddenly realized.

"So Aiqing can live in the palace with peace of mind." Xia Zimo said, "The office is also in the palace, so you don't have to go back." ”

After speaking, he ordered again: "Someone, on the right side of me, set up a case for the Prime Minister."

The emperor personally ordered to do things, and the efficiency was fast, and it didn't take long for the bookcase to be placed. Qiu Luoxue had no choice but to stay in the palace as Xia Zimo said.

Working with Xia Zimo, the pressure is very high. Is it because he often reads the cantata? The speed exercise is extremely fast, Qiu Luoxue hasn't finished reading one yet, he has already finished reading several books. Moreover, Xia Zimo doesn't speak when he deals with government affairs, Qiu Luoxue is the kind of person who talks a lot, and she can't stand this quiet atmosphere. But every time she wanted to speak, when she looked up, she saw Xia Zimo looking at the figure seriously, how could she be embarrassed to disturb others.

In the quiet imperial study, Qiu Luoxue could only shift her attention to government affairs, but look at the recitals written by those ministers, they are all in classical Chinese, crepe and crepe, and the words are thief ink, which makes people unbearable.

So she muttered in a low voice: "It's really annoying to write a piece of music like this, knowing that you are all talents, what are you showing off."

Xia Zimo heard Qiu Luoxue's muttering, and moved his gaze to her with a concerto, and saw that she was dragging her chin with her hand, looking at the concert in her hand sadly, her eyebrows were about to be twisted together. Seeing Qiu Luoxue's expression, Xia Zimo once again revealed a doting gaze.

is full of classical Chinese music, coupled with an unusually quiet and comfortable environment, so that Qiu Luoxue looked at it and felt a wave of sleepiness, and unconsciously fell asleep on the bookcase.
