Chapter 243 Late Night Battle Report

Princess Yunle finally chose Xue Bi, the prince of Prince Pingnan, as her consort. King Pingnan has 30,000 state soldiers in his hands and guards the southwest all year round. Among the princes with different surnames, he is the prince whose family background is closest to the royal family. Empress Dowager Gao's choice of his son was not surprising.

Nie Wushuang listened to Yang Zhi's report and smiled lightly: "Empress Dowager Gao finally got what she wanted."

Yang Zhi shook his head: "In my humble opinion, I am afraid that Empress Dowager Gao's move is not beautiful. Putting a beautiful rein on a wild horse cannot change his nature. King Pingnan is unruly by nature. Although he is young, He is old, but he has always been loyal to the royal family through three dynasties. Even if he is married to the Queen Mother now, I am afraid it will not be of any help to Queen Mother Gao. It will only deepen the discord between the Emperor and the Queen Mother."

Nie Wushuang said: "Let her go. No one can stop what Empress Dowager Gao wants to do."

At the end of March, spring gradually warmed up in the country of Ying, and good news came from the reinforcements rushing to the aid of Qi. The Qin army was short of food, and the continuous spring rain caused malaria among the Qin troops who came from afar. The Qin army's combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. Yelutu had to tighten the battle line. Xiao Fengqing rushed to support all the way and had already reached Gunzhou City. If he went to "Qixia Pass", he would reach Youzhou and join forces with Gu Qinghong. The news of success in the past few days made Xiao Fengming's face full of spring breeze.

One day he came to the "Yonghua Palace", where he rarely had time to relax and let Nie Wushuang play the piano. Nie Wushuang agreed with a smile, and the sound of the piano was leisurely, like the gurgling of clear spring water, which melted away the fatigue all over his body.

Nie Wushuang gently twisted the strings and inadvertently raised his head, only to find that Xiao Fengming had fallen asleep on the soft couch without knowing it. She slowly walked to him and saw that his handsome and handsome face had a slight frown on his brows and two faint shadows under his eyelids. She knew that he had many things to do these days and was worried about 30,000 reinforcements, so naturally he couldn't sleep well.

Nie Wushuang looked at it for a while, then gently touched his eyebrows with her hand, smoothing his frown, and then covered him with a thin quilt. She was about to turn around and leave when a strong hand grabbed her arm.

Nie Wushuang turned around and smiled slightly: "It turns out that the emperor is not asleep."

Without opening his eyes, Xiao Fengming held her in his arms and slowly said, "I really fell asleep just now."

Nie Wushuang lay on his chest and smiled: "The emperor must have been awakened by his concubine."

Xiao Fengming found a comfortable position and held her in his arms. Then he opened his eyes, with a smile in his eyes: "I felt like there were feathers brushing against my face just now. Are you peeking at me sleeping?"

His eyes were fixed on her, and Nie Wushuang was frightened in her heart, and she lowered her eyes: "I just feel that the emperor frowns when he sleeps, so I want to smooth it out for the emperor..."

Before she could finish speaking, he had kissed her red lips gently. The tangy ambergris was light and long-lasting. Nie Wushuang was imprisoned on the small soft couch by him, and he felt that the whole world suddenly became small. Xiao Fengming kissed her for a while and then let her go.

He held her in his arms, his eyes leisurely: "I frown because there are many things that are difficult to decide. I often think about when I can be free and worry-free, and I will be happy even for a moment. But after thinking about it, it seems that there is no such thing. Live a moment like this.”

Nie Wushuang felt strange pity in his heart: It turned out that as the Ninth Five Supreme Being, he had never been happy.

She suddenly smiled: "It turns out that being an emperor also has its troubles."

Xiao Fengming gently stroked her black hair and smiled: "If I were no longer worried, wouldn't those court officials start to feel panic? They thought they were following a foolish king."

Nie Wushuang looked at the willow branch that had just sprouted outside the hall and sighed: "I don't know when I will be able to live happily, or go boating on the lake, wander in the mountains and rivers. Or go to the desert grassland to see the wind-swept grassland. The scenery is full of cattle and sheep. Does the emperor think my concubine’s idea is strange?”

Xiao Fengming looked at the vague longing on her face and said with a smile: "Although I can't promise you to go immediately, I will definitely take you to see it in my lifetime."

Nie Wushuang raised his head suddenly: "Really?!"

"Of course it is true. Have you forgotten the bamboo house I took you to see during the autumn hunting? I often think that if I were not born in an emperor's family and became an emperor, I must be a hermit who likes landscapes. . When you are free, you can drink wine against the moon, and when you are busy, you can hunt and fish. Such a life is a fairy-like life." Xiao Fengming said with a smile, tenderness overflowing from his deep eyes like obsidian: "And would you like such a life? "

Nie Wushuang's heart felt hot, and she couldn't help but cling tightly to his arms, but sadness gradually appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Even though they knew it was not true, the two of them talked about the promises they could not fulfill and confessed the dreams they could never realize. He has his imperial hegemony, and she has her own blood feud. The moment the picture appears, the lingering love in the past can be wiped out in an instant. But all this is so beautiful that perhaps it will be unforgettable even after many years.

It's not that she doesn't believe him. She couldn't trust herself.

Nie Wushuang closed her eyes, searched for his thin lips, and kissed her gently. The hole in my heart is getting bigger and bigger, and it can't be filled. Xiao Fengming's whole body tensed up and he couldn't help but hug her tightly and walked into the central hall with heavy curtains. The golden curtain was warm, the jade body was fragrant, and the two of them were so entangled in each other that they completely forgot about the cold spring...

The copper leak was ticking, and Nie Wushuang sank into a nightmare. The fog in the dream was so thick that she couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south. She walked step by step, but she didn't know where she was going. In the thick fog, someone was shouting something sadly, and the ghost-like scream made her hair stand on end.

She tried her best to open her eyes and groped forward. Finally, the thick fog cleared and Xiao Fengming stood with his back to her. She stroked her heart and asked, "Why are you here, Your Majesty?"\u003c/p

Xiao Fengming slowly turned around, expressionless. She was frightened by his expression and stepped forward with a forced smile: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Her eyes moved to his chest, where a dagger was suddenly inserted. Blood gurgled out, and she couldn't help but scream. Xiao Fengming slowly approached, as if he didn't notice his own pain: "Wushuang, you hurt me..."

"No! I didn't!..." Nie Wushuang woke up suddenly, with cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Fengming was woken up by her and quickly stood up. Nie Wushuang looked at him blankly, wondering how he could have such a nightmare.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Xiao Fengming held her trembling hand and held her in his arms: "Why did you have such a nightmare?"

Nie Wushuang leaned on his chest, feeling the strong heartbeat in his heart. People said that they thought about things day by day and dreamed about things at night. Could it be that her own worries caused her to have such a nightmare?

"Come here, bring water." Xiao Fengming called the palace servant to bring water, fed her to drink with his own hands, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Nie Wushuang clenched the cup in his hand and looked at him with complicated eyes. At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the palace door. Nie Wushuang was startled and almost dropped the cup in his hand.

Before Xiao Fengming could speak, Eunuch Lin walked in quickly and handed over a letter sealed with vermilion lacquer: "Your Majesty, urgent telegram report!"

Nie Wushuang was shocked and couldn't help but look at the secret letter in Xiao Fengming's hand. Xiao Fengming didn't have time to put on his coat, so he hurriedly opened the envelope. After reading a few lines, he frowned deeply and his face became gloomy. Nie Wushuang had a bad premonition in his heart, and just as he was about to ask, Xiao Fengming put the secret letter in his arms, put on his coat and said, "I'm going back to Ganlu Palace, you have a good rest."

Nie Wushuang couldn't help but stretched out her hand and pulled his sleeve tightly: "Your Majesty, what is going on?"

It was out of bounds for her to ask such a hasty question, but Xiao Fengming did not blame her, he just looked at her with a steady gaze:

"It's nothing serious. I'm leaving." He said no more explanations, and the palace servants put on his coat and left in a hurry.

Nie Wushuang looked at his figure, and the ominous feeling in her heart grew bigger and bigger. She knew him too well, and the hurried battle report and his expression were clearly bad news. But how can we find out?

Nie Wushuang stayed up all night. On the morning of the next day, she called Yang Zhi and asked directly: "Eunuch Yang, is there any way to contact His Highness Prince Rui?"

Yang Zhi looked at her expression carefully: "Is there something urgent, Madam?"

Nie Wushuang frowned: "The emperor received the battle report last night, and I looked bad."

Seeing that this was the case, Yang Zhi advised in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although Your Highness has not fought, this battle is of great importance. Your Highness has many generals, and they are all experienced generals. They will be safe and sound."

Nie Wushuang let out a long breath: "I think so too, but I still can't help but worry. After all... After all, I only have one eldest brother."

Yang Zhi added: "Even if the empress knows the news in the battle report, she can't do anything. Why add to the worries? The emperor will make the decision on major military matters."

When Nie Wushuang heard this, she suddenly became discouraged: "Is it because I worry too much?" She naturally understood what Yang Zhi said, but she really couldn't stop worrying, but she couldn't. She was strongly opposed to Nie Minghu's aid to Qi State. How could she help her enemies when she hadn't even avenged them personally? What's more, he fell into a dangerous situation because of this ridiculous rush for help.
