Adore Trick of Beauty

The early spring of the third year of Wude seemed to be particularly colder than in previous years. The snow had not yet melted but the spring cold had fallen. However, at this time in previous years, the continuous spring rain had not yet fallen. In the blink of an eye, it turned into hail, which hit the eaves of the palace with a tinkling sound all night long. Continuously. Nie Wushuang opened his eyes and looked at the huge palace, sleepless all night.

Several silver charcoal basins in the hall were sizzling, baking Chenghua Hall, as warm as spring. However, the cold in her body had been cured years ago, and she was no longer afraid of the cold. But why now and then, she still feels A chill came from the bottom of my heart, it was terrifyingly cold. He turned over and leaned over to the right side as usual, but it was already empty and the quilt was as cold as ice. She closed her eyes, but she no longer felt sleepy.

She simply put on her clothes and stood up, groping for her shoes and outerwear in the darkness. The maid on duty outside the palace heard the noise and hurried over, holding the candle. A little light shone on her face, which was so dazzling. The palace maid asked in a low voice: "What are the Queen's orders?"

Nie Wushuang looked at her unfamiliar face and waved lightly: "Nothing, you can go down and rest."

The palace maid looked at her cautiously and hesitated for a long time before retreating. Nie Wushuang looked at the swaying curtains, and there were shadowy figures on the other side. It seemed that if she didn't sleep, everyone in the palace would not feel at ease.

She took a long breath, simply put on her clothes and stood in front of the window, looking out at the dark night. Three days passed, and all the people in the palace disappeared overnight. Yang Zhi, Deshun, Xia Lan, Ming Qiu... disappeared so completely and silently that she felt it was just a dream.

She knew Xiao Fengming's methods, which were usually tepid, but once he started to act, there was no way he could fight back. She should be in pain and anger, and even fight to the death, but now she feels vaguely indescribably relaxed, and she can no longer control whether she loves or hates him.

She understood that she was really under house arrest by him in this luxurious Chenghua Palace.

She understood that from now on, she and he might not smile sincerely at each other anymore...

…

In the distance, in the imperial study room, the lights were brightly lit, and the same light stayed on all night. Xiao Fengming propped up his chin, and the memorial in his hand was about to fall to the ground. Eunuch Lin endured his sleepiness and stepped forward to gently pick up Zhang Feng.

Xiao Fengming was shocked and woke up. When he saw it was Eunuch Lin, he hid the sadness in his eyes, rubbed his swollen forehead, and asked tiredly, "What time has it been?"

"It's already the third watch, Your Majesty... please go to bed early. Don't tire your body." Eunuch Lin advised.

Xiao Fengming shook his head, took the pen, and said calmly: "There are still many political matters that have not been dealt with. I will go to bed later."

Eunuch Lin looked at the red bloodshot eyes and couldn't help but kneel down: "Your Majesty..."

Xiao Fengming stopped the cinnabar pen in his hand, looked at Eunuch Lin's white hair on the brim of his hat, and said in a gentle voice: "Uncle Lin is old, don't stay up late with me. Go down."

Eunuch Lin raised his head, with pain in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the Queen must not be who you think she is. There must be some misunderstanding!..."

The cinnabar pen in Xiao Fengming's hand trembled on the snow-white rice paper, and he made a heavy stroke. The blood-red color stung his eyes and caused pain.

"I will not come to a conclusion easily, and Uncle Lin should not get involved in this matter. I will judge it myself." His voice was flat, and there was no emotion or anger.

Eunuch Lin looked at his calm face, sighed, and slowly bowed and retreated. He knew that Xiao Fengming would not say another word to him on this matter.

"Wait..." Xiao Fengming's hesitant voice suddenly sounded behind him. Eunuch Lin lowered his head and waited quietly for his instructions.

"How is she these days?" Xiao Fengming finally asked softly.

Eunuch Lin quickly replied: "The Queen is fine. She eats and sleeps as usual, but..."

"Just what?" Xiao Fengming asked nonchalantly, but his hand couldn't help but clenched the pen. Is she really nice? That night, she walked past him and her eyes fell behind him, so dazed.

"It's just that the Queen is often lost in thought. She only looks at the garden all day long without saying a word. The servant is worried...worried that the Queen will fall ill..." Eunuch Lin said.

Xiao Fengming was silent for a while, then said lightly: "I understand, please step back."

"Your Majesty!" Seeing his lackluster reaction, Eunuch Lin couldn't help but step forward and said sincerely: "If Your Majesty is worried about Your Majesty, then go visit Your Majesty. Your Majesty, Your Majesty must have something to say to Your Majesty..."

"Back off!" Xiao Fengming's eyes turned cold.

Eunuch Lin was unwilling to give in and boldly said again: "Your Majesty——"

"Get out!" Xiao Fengming raised his voice slightly and said coldly: "Uncle Lin has too much to worry about. Get off!"

All Eunuch Lin's words were suddenly choked in his throat, and he could only sigh and quietly retreat.

There was deathly silence in the imperial study room. Xiao Fengming watched Eunuch Lin's old body gradually disappear. There was a "click" in his hand, and the fine imperial pen had been broken into two parts.

Should he worry about her? That Nie Wushuang who had deceived him for so many years! Nie Wushuang, who gained his pity with weakness, tears, and even his miserable life experience! ‘

That made him wonder at this moment whether he should continue to love or hate Nie Wushuang more.

The long night was silent, and he was not the only one who had no sleep.

…

The war between Ying State and Qi State continued to be stalemate, and the courtiers argued endlessly over whether to reinforce Qixia Pass. The conservative faction was worried that the Qin garrison sent reinforcements would cause the remnants of Qin to take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble again. The faction that advocated the war made impassioned speeches, vowing to destroy Qi in one go and unify the world from then on.

Above the court, behind the jade crown, Xiao Fengming's face is vaguely visible, and no one can guess it.

His true thoughts. He listened to the quarrels of the courtiers, noisy and noisy, like a pot of boiling porridge. His eyes fell on the first vacant position on the left, and the pain in his heart hit him one after another.

Suddenly, he stood up. The quarreling courtiers looked at him.

Xiao Fengming looked at the huge Jinluan Palace and suddenly felt tired.

"Retreat!" He waved his sleeves and left the throne without looking back.
