Adore Trick of Beauty

Chapter 154: Surprised Question (2)

Nie Wushuang advised from the side: "Concubine De, it's better to go back to the palace. If anything happens, write it down in a written form, and the emperor will definitely read it."

Hearing this, Concubine De suddenly raised her head, glared at Nie Wushuang fiercely like a knife, and cursed: "Nie Wushuang, what qualifications do you, a witch, have to point fingers in front of the emperor? You wish that the Qi Kingdom was destroyed, and my father the emperor You will only be happy if you die! That’s why you and your eldest brother are slandering the emperor!"

The smile on Nie Wushuang's face gradually cooled down, and he looked at her with a half-smile.

Xiao Fengming sat on his seat and shouted angrily: "Shut up! What are you doing here today?"

Concubine De looked desperate and sneered: "I just want to ask, will the emperor send troops to help Qi defeat Qin? Is the alliance at the time of the marriage still valid?"

Her words were sharp. Looking at her angry face, Xiao Fengming couldn't help but look at her deeply and asked in a deep voice: "Where did you get the news?"

Concubine De's face flashed with uneasiness, then she held her head high and sneered: "I only found out this when I heard the palace people's discussion. How long will the emperor keep this secret from me? The Qin State has already breached the 'Yunling Pass' Is this how the emperor kept his promise when he started to invade the thirteen counties of Lingzhou? Then what was the purpose of my concubine’s sacrifice in the first place?”

Nie Wushuang looked at her with pity in his eyes. Military and state affairs were never solved by a simple marriage. If the situation changed, what could she do even if she was the noble princess of Qi? It's not just an insignificant bargaining chip in men's political situation, an excuse for alliance or hostility.

Xiao Fengming allowed her to talk. When she finished speaking, he looked at her deeply and said calmly: "Come here, Concubine De lost her mind and went crazy. She was escorted down and asked the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat her. Nongyun Palace's Each of the palace servants who serve De Concubine will be punished thirty times, and if Concubine De is allowed to escape, she will be charged with deceiving the emperor!"

"Yes!" Seeing the emperor's anger, the chamberlains in the palace quickly knelt down to receive the order. Several strong chamberlains stepped forward, grabbed Concubine De and dragged her away.

Concubine De opened her beautiful eyes wide, looked at Xiao Fengming in disbelief, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! How can you treat my concubine like this..."

Her messy eyes glanced at Nie Wushuang beside her. Seeing the look of pity on her beautiful face, she couldn't help but shout: "Nie Wushuang, you are also from Qi. Even if my father is sorry for you, but Qi's The people have not sorry for you. Nie Wushuang..."

She wanted to make a final struggle, but the waiter beside her was so frightened that she blocked her mouth and quickly dragged her away. The sound faded away.

Nie Wushuang looked at Xiao Fengming who was still frowning and knelt down slowly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Concubine De is young and ignorant, and she cares about her motherland. Your Majesty, please don't take her words to heart."

Xiao Fengming looked at her and helped her stand up: "I don't blame her. If she is convicted, what she said today will be the crime of interfering in politics in the harem."

If you interfere in politics in the harem, you will be thrown into the eternal alley, and you will never be able to stand up again.

"The Emperor is kind. Concubine De will definitely know the Emperor's good intentions in the future." Nie Wushuang said.

Xiao Fengming glanced at her and suddenly held her hand, his eyes calm: "Qi is your homeland, do you still miss it?"

Nie Wushuang's heart was shocked and she couldn't help but look up at him. His expression was as before, as deep and waveless as a deep pool of water. She saw her pale face reflected in his pure black eyes, and the carefully applied rouge seemed to have taken off its traces at this moment, and there was no trace of it anymore. color.

She was still complacent about her brother gaining the emperor's favor just now, but at this time, another voice in her heart reminded her that in Xiao Fengming's heart, she was still a native of Qi. In the eyes of others, she was still an alien who suddenly came to the country of Ying, a criminal who fled to the country of Ying.

The people of Ying country may still have some sympathy for her eldest brother, but for her, a woman who once seduced her husband's family and then entered the harem, I am afraid that when others mention her, their first feeling is contempt.

What should she say to Xiao Fengming now? Do you mean that you have nothing to do with Qi State? But it is clear that there is no way to change his identity. Or will you continue to complain bitterly about the Emperor of Qi’s crimes against the Nie family? But how could she denounce another emperor of her homeland in front of an emperor? Neither choice seems suitable, neither choice seems to be able to impress this profound emperor.

Nie Wushuang stared at Xiao Fengming blankly for a long time, lowered his eyes, and a tear rolled down: "Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me."

Xiao Fengming seemed a little surprised, sighed, and held her in his arms: "Okay, I won't mention this again."

After Xiao Fengming stayed for dinner, he returned to the imperial study room to continue handling political affairs. Nie Wushuang personally saw him off, then leaned on the soft couch languidly. Xia Lan came in and reported: "The Yamei people have brought several squares of embroidered shawls. Would you like to take a look at it?"

Nie Wushuang had no intention of seeing Yamei's kindness and waved his hand: "Reward the palace servants who bring things. Put away the silk and see again tomorrow. I want to rest for a while."

Xia Lan retreated, and Nie Wushuang stopped her again: "Go and call Eunuch Yang. I have something to discuss with him."

After a while Yang Zhi came in. Nie Wushuang said to him: "How long does it take to walk from Nongyun Palace to here? How can Concubine De come to Yonghua Palace so easily?"

Yang Zhi thought for a while: "It will take about half an hour. Besides, Concubine De is also a sinful concubine. It is impossible to get out of Nongyun Palace without the help of others. The emperor punished the palace servants of Nongyun Palace just to give them a Warning."

Nie Wushuang thought of Xiao Fengming's question and sighed like a fish bone in his throat: "In the heart of the Emperor, I am afraid that I will be ranked among the top concubines."

Yang Zhi saw that her mood was waning

, couldn’t help but ask why. Nie Wushuang told him the emperor's question, and sighed at the end: "No matter how hard I try, I am afraid that in the emperor's heart, he is still just a Qi man. What does Eunuch Yang think of me?"

Yang Zhi smiled: "In my heart, there are only masters who are worthy of allegiance and people who are not worthy of allegiance. Does it matter whether the empress is a native of Ying country? I have seen many surrendered ministers from the four countries come to Ying country, and they also You have made great achievements, why should I belittle you?"

The heavy weight in Nie Wushuang's heart was relieved slightly, but after a while, she felt vaguely that something was wrong: "Then why did Concubine De say those words? She is not a person who values ​​her family and country more important than her life. If she really If she is married to Qi State, then she will not escape from the palace privately."

Yang Zhi also agreed: "In this case, someone must have instigated Concubine De to say these words in front of the emperor. Regardless of success or failure, she will not receive any substantial punishment as a married princess, but it will cause a stir in the emperor's heart. Suspicion of the empress.”

The more Nie Wushuang thought about it, the more she felt that there was something in it. The conspiracies that followed seemed casual, but in fact they contained murderous intentions that were difficult to guard against. She frowned, and a cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes: "No matter who it is, this time I will I won’t let it go so easily again.”

The next day, Nie Wushuang went to pay his respects to the Queen. The Queen looked displeased and asked, "Why did Concubine De run out yesterday, talk nonsense in front of the Emperor, and disturb the Holy Emperor?"

Nie Wushuang knelt down quickly: "I am frightened, and I don't know. The emperor also decided to go to my palace to sit there, but I didn't expect that the Concubine De found me, so he broke in."

Concubine Shu on the side sighed: "What a pity for a princess who is as beautiful as a flower and jade, and now she has become mad. Forget it if she is crazy, she still accuses the emperor. It is simply audacious."

All the concubines below were talking a lot, and the words Qi Guo and Ying Guo were heard from time to time. Nie Wushuang sat among them, listening to them discuss matters between the two countries, and felt restless.

The queen interrupted the discussion of the concubines and said calmly: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Everyone should remember the lesson of Concubine De."

"Yes, Queen!" Everyone knelt down to listen to the instruction.

After greeting her, Nie Wushuang held Concubine Shu's hand and walked towards the "Xinyi" Palace. Concubine Shu looked at the vague sadness on her face, smiled and pressed her hand: "Concubine De is Concubine De, and you are you. Don't care too much about other people's opinions."

Nie Wushuang raised his head and said with a smile: "Concubine Xie Shu is relieved. I am fine. I just wonder how Concubine De knew the whereabouts of the emperor? If there was no help, how could she come to Yonghua Palace unimpeded?"

Concubine Shu glanced at her and said with a smile: "Maybe. Who knows."

Nie Wushuang arrived at Xinyi Palace and sat for a while before saying goodbye. Yang Zhi followed behind him leisurely, and Nie Wushuang said calmly as he walked: "It seems that Concubine Shu will not help to investigate. Eunuch Yang is familiar with me in the palace, who else can help to investigate the mystery? ?”

Seeing that there was no one around, Yang Zhi thought for a while: "Except for the queen, Concubine Shu is the most powerful. Since Concubine Shu wants to stay out of the matter, it's probably because she doesn't want to cause more trouble. As for the queen..."

Nie Wushuang thought of the queen's always dignified face and frowned: "The queen has no reason to help me. Who would care about such a trivial matter."

Yang Zhi frowned and thought carefully, and after a long time he said, "Why don't you ask the prince to take action?"

Nie Wushuang thought of Xiao Fengqing's cynical handsome face and suddenly said: "There is no need to invite the prince. If I can't gain a foothold in the palace and I need the prince's help for such a small matter, then what's the use of me."

"No, wait..." Nie Wushuang thought of the scene in the bamboo forest and frowned deeply: "Eunuch Yang went to ask the prince, who was the person who had a heart-to-heart talk with the prince in the bamboo forest that day."

She stretched out her hand and wrote three words on Yang Zhi's palm, with a cold look in her eyes: "Ask the prince if he is this person."

Yang Zhi glanced at her: "Does the empress suspect it is her?"

Nie Wushuang shook his head: "Even if it's not her, there is still suspicion. The concubine who dares to be intimate with the prince in broad daylight is not an insignificant person."

Yang Zhi took the order and left, and Nie Wushuang returned to the palace. Xiao Fengming seemed to want to make up for her and sent someone to bring him a generous reward. Seeing that Nie Wushuang was not only not implicated by Concubine De, but also had the emperor's pity, the palace officials in Yonghua Palace were all beaming with joy.

Nie Wushuang looked at the silks and satins, gold, silver, and jade, but she was not happy at all. Fortunately, she handled it well yesterday, otherwise her situation would be even worse today.

Qi State, Qi State... She recalled what Concubine De said yesterday. She suddenly straightened up and called Yang Zhi: "In the palace, which concubine is in charge of things related to military aircraft?" Concubine De said yesterday. She must be so clear about "Yunling Pass" and the thirteen counties in Lingzhou. How could she, a princess in a deep palace, know so much? From this it can be seen that some palace concubine must have informed her of the news.

Yang Zhi mentioned a few words, and Nie Wushuang suddenly thought of Jade Concubine, clapped her hands and said, "Yu Concubine's father was once the minister of the Ministry of War, you can ask her."

Yang Zhi stopped her: "What if it's a concubine?"

Nie Wushuang was slightly startled: "You mean maybe she is a concubine?"

Yang Zhi sighed: "You must be on guard against others. Your Majesty, please don't trust people too much."

Nie Wushuang felt mixed feelings in her heart. After a long time, she said calmly: "Then let's just wait and see what happens." It was difficult in the palace, and after reaching this point, no one seemed to dare to believe it anymore.

Nie Wushuang hid the gloom in his eyes and ordered the palace servants to put away the emperor's reward. He took out a few pieces of precious brocade and asked the Shangyi Bureau to cut them and give them to him.

The jade concubines and elegant beauties in the "Purple Myrtle Palace".

Yang Zhi got the news quickly. Two days later, he walked up to Nie Wushuang, looked around and saw that there was no one around, and said, "I have seen His Highness. He said that the person was indeed as the empress had guessed, and he also said, 'Shuiyun Temple' Princess Rui seems to have regrets recently and wants to ask the Queen Mother to intercede and release her to the Gao family."

Hearing this, Nie Wushuang thought of Princess Rui and suddenly asked with a half-smile, "Does His Highness want her to go back or continue her practice?"

Yang Zhi knew that she was just mocking Xiao Fengqing's ruthlessness, lowered his head and said with a smile: "Your Highness still hopes that Princess Rui can cultivate her moral character, so that she can have deeper blessings."

Nie Wushuang sneered: "She is just a woman. Your Highness still doesn't want to let her go?"

Yang Zhi wanted to say more, but Nie Wushuang waved his hand: "That's it, I'll go and find a solution."

In addition, I have seen your comments, I am very touched and thank you! Because there are too many comments, I can’t reply to them all, sorry!

In addition, when the emperor's feelings will turn around, this will not happen until a big turning point written later. Bing didn't want to write him too superficially...but it was so difficult to write. It was my first time writing such a character. In addition, emotional drama is not Bing's strong suit. Like Chu Gong, I felt that there were too few emotional scenes.
