Adore Trick of Beauty

His eyes reflected the dancing candlelight of the palace lantern, which was so dark that it was difficult to distinguish. He was wearing a raincoat, and the rainwater fell from the raincoat, and it dripped quickly. He held her hand, took off his raincoat and put it on her. He did all this naturally, as if he had done it thousands of times.

Nie Wushuang looked at his face blankly, but couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry. The coir raincoat was stained with ambergris, and it drifted faintly into her nose.

Gu Qinghong had already picked up the umbrella he had dropped on the ground. In the heavy rain, his graceful figure showed no trace of embarrassment, even if someone caught a glimpse of his lapse.

"If your Majesty the Emperor is not in a hurry, please take shelter from the rain in my bamboo house." He invited.

Xiao Fengming smiled, took Nie Wushuang's cold hand and gently rubbed it to keep her away from the cold, and said lightly: "That's very good. Let me use your precious land to change my beloved concubine into wet clothes. She has always been very weak, and she is so wet. I’m afraid I’ll catch a cold and get sick again when I go back.”

When Gu Qinghong heard this, the hand holding the umbrella trembled slightly, but soon he regained his composure, bowed slightly, and silently led the way.

Xiao Fengming held Nie Wushuang's hand and walked forward, only to find that she was frozen in the moment, motionless.

"Let's go and change clothes." He looked into her beautiful eyes, but saw the stubbornness and hurt in her eyes.

"Is the emperor stalking my concubines?" she suddenly said, and the tears that had stopped suddenly rolled down again. It was obvious that she was wrong, but she still asked him so unreasonably. What's wrong with her?

Xiao Fengming was slightly surprised, but then he understood. He squeezed her hand that was trying to break away in an angry and funny way: "Who said I was following you? Tonight, Gong Zhengsi happened to ask that Qiu Meng was injured by Gu Qinghong, so I I just came over to ask on the spur of the moment, but I didn’t expect..."

She suddenly threw herself into his arms, choking and crying, not caring that the wet clothes on her body had soaked his clothes.

"Okay, I didn't blame you, why did you blame me first?" His gentle voice sounded in her ears, but it made her cry more and more.

"Stop crying, be careful of catching a cold." Xiao Fengming comforted her and ordered the palace attendants to quickly go back to the palace to get her clothes. She was held in his arms. By the bamboo door, Gu Qinghong stared blankly at the unbridled and sweet scene in front of him, which hit his heart and caught him off guard.

It turns out that this is Sheng Chong. It is full love held in the palm of your hand. Should he be happy for her, or sad for himself?

…

In the bamboo house, the palace people lit a few more palace lanterns for them. In the room next door, there was the sound of water dripping. It was the palace people who were waiting for Nie Wushuang to change his clothes. The small red clay stove has been replaced with charcoal fire, and the tea is new and steaming.

Gu Qinghong looked at Xiao Fengming, who was sitting calmly in front of him, and had to admit that he did have the aura of a king who looked down on the world. Even this small bamboo house could not reduce his noble aura.

Xiao Fengming looked around casually, then smiled and said: "I'm so sorry, Prime Minister. I live in such a place."

Gu Qinghong smiled bitterly: "The common people are no longer the Prime Minister. If His Majesty the Emperor said this, wouldn't he be killing Gu?"

Xiao Fengming smiled and said in a sincere and frank tone: "In my heart, the number one prime minister in the world, and no one can live up to that name except Prime Minister Gu."

Gu Qinghong looked at Xiao Fengming under the bright candlelight. His temples were as sharp as a knife, his eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes were like stars. His gentle eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts. Such a gentle but wise man was born to be an emperor.

He sighed sadly in his heart, the rise of Yingguo was inevitable.

"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor, for the compliment. I am ashamed of myself. Now that the Qin State has been destroyed, His Majesty the Emperor will surely be able to achieve great things," he said.

Xiao Fengming was noncommittal, looking at Gu Qinghong calmly, and asked slowly: "Now that Prime Minister Gu has resigned, I want to know what Prime Minister Gu thinks? Qi is no longer a place where you can continue to stay. Is Prime Minister Gu okay? Have you ever thought about coming to Yingguo?"

With a "snap" sound, the tea lid in Gu Qinghong's hand suddenly fell onto the tea cup. He laughed at himself: "Isn't His Majesty the Emperor afraid that this move will be criticized?"

Xiao Fengming laughed: "There is no one in this world whose back is told, and who is not told behind others' backs. I have become accustomed to it. Comments through the ages are just a few useless words in history books. Nowadays, most of Qin's land belongs to Yingguo. I I deeply feel that there is no one around me who can help me. If I can get the help of Prime Minister Gu, the governance of Qin will be smoother."

He had confessed to him his thirst for talents, and it turned out that this was the real purpose of his coming tonight. Gu Qinghong raised his head, looked at Xiao Fengming with complicated eyes, and said slowly: "If His Majesty the Emperor really recruits Gu into the official career of the country, what should she do?"

The smile on Xiao Fengming's face froze slightly, and the room fell into dead silence. There was no sound even in the room next door.

"I don't know. But I know that there are still many doubts about the massacre of your Xie family. If Nie Weicheng is the mastermind behind the scenes, do you think he is willing to let you marry Wushuang? Even if he can't find out your real name, this It's unreasonable. No one can commit such a heinous crime and remain calm for so many years." Xiao Fengming said slowly.

Gu Qinghong opened his eyes suddenly and looked at Xiao Fengming in front of him. His hands hidden in his long sleeves could not help but tremble slightly.

Was he wrong? Is it wrong to have been obsessed with revenge for more than twenty years? !

A solid place in my heart is collapsing, and all the firmly held beliefs are starting to fall apart somewhere...

What if he's wrong? ... This crazy thought was tightly entangled in his heart. Gu Qinghong stood up suddenly, took a few steps back, staggered and leaned against the wall, his face as white as paper.

Yes, hatred blinded his eyes, preventing him from deeply investigating the tragedy of the Xie family in Huainan.

With just a few pieces of yellowed paper and a few ambiguous words, he identified it as Nie Weicheng...

Can't think about it anymore, can't think about it anymore...

A breath of turbid air rose from his chest again. He couldn't help it and spit out a mouthful of blood with a "vomit" sound. Dots of blood spurted onto the ground, like plum blossoms in full bloom, which was shocking.

Xiao Fengming was slightly startled, and immediately stepped forward and touched several acupuncture points on his chest, stopping his blood that continued to surge. He pinched his veins and suddenly frowned: "You still have residual poison in your body. Who poisoned you?"

Gu Qinghong held his chest and remained silent.

Xiao Fengming suddenly remembered the previous rumors about him and fell silent.

After a long while, Xiao Fengming said slowly: "A good bird has died after breaking a tree. Qi has been defeated and there is no way to recover. Prime Minister Gu should think carefully about the future."

"Future?" Gu Qinghong wiped the blood stains from the corners of his lips and laughed at himself: "Originally, Gu didn't put the future in his eyes. He was just trying to take revenge. He saved Qi from destruction just because he thought the emperor was kind to Gu. But...haha..."

He suddenly laughed: "But if I am wrong, if I am wrong..."

He laughed until tears rolled down his eyes. Xiao Fengming looked at his crazy look and sighed with regret in his heart: "I will help you get to the bottom of the matter about the Xie family in Huainan. That's all I have to say tonight. Prime Minister Gu will think about it carefully. A man who can bend and stretch will do a lot more in the future."

After he said that, he quietly left the house and went to the next room. Nie Wushuang was sitting on the futon on the ground, her hair disheveled, and someone from the palace was gently wiping it for her.

She raised her head, looked at Xiao Fengming approaching, and asked lightly: "What is he laughing at?"

Xiao Fengming looked at the cold look in her dark eyes, and suddenly a question that Gu Qinghong asked him just now flashed through his mind: "If His Majesty the Emperor really recruits Gu to join the official career of the country, what should she do?"

What should she do?

What should she do...

Thinking about it, his head ached. Xiao Fengming sat next to her and listened to the sound of rain outside. It was much quieter. He whispered: "The rain has stopped. Come back to the palace with me."

Nie Wushuang seemed not to have heard what he said and asked again: "What is he laughing at?"

Xiao Fengming looked at her cold beautiful eyes and the slight confusion in her eyes, and suddenly felt a slight discomfort in his heart: "It's nothing. I told him that there were many doubts about the Xie family in Huainan back then. Let him find out if the person behind it is you. 's father Nie Weicheng."

Nie Wushuang was startled for a moment, then suddenly giggled. She half-covered her face with her long sleeves, smiling enchantingly and sadly...

"I see, that's it..." She smiled so hard that it chilled his heart. He had never seen anyone smile like that. There was clearly a smile in her eyes, but it was so desolate that it was unbearable to see.

"Wushuang, don't laugh!" He opened her long sleeves covering half of her face, only to find that her palms were curled into fists, so tightly.

Nie Wushuang pushed him away and ran out of the house. The white clothes on her body were like lightning in the night. She looked at the thousands of raindrops in the sky and laughed wildly: "Oh my God! Look at me, Nie Wushuang! Look at me. Look at him Gu Qinghong, he and I turned out to be just a joke on your part! Haha..."

Amidst the long laughter, there was a faint thunder rumble in the sky, as if God was responding with shame and anger. She smiled and laughed, but darkness came over her eyes, and she suddenly fainted.

Xiao Fengming retracted his hand and held her in his arms with a livid face. He picked her up and ordered her with both regret and anxiety: "Quickly, return to the palace!"
