Adore Trick of Beauty

Chapter 538: Closing the Temple (5)

Finally, the sounds outside gradually disappeared. Qingyuan opened the door of the meditation room but did not see Nie Wushuang. He was startled and quickly opened the door of the secret room, only to see Nie Wushuang with tears on his face.

He opened his mouth and finally said dejectedly: "The Queen...does everything know?"

Nie Wushuang hid in the darkness of the secret room, her tears rolled down again, and she choked: "Yes, I know everything. Everything."

She stood up and walked out: "You can't escape, Qingyuan, don't make unnecessary sacrifices..." There was despair in her eyes, and suddenly, her arm was grabbed by a strong force.

Nie Wushuang turned around and looked at Qingyuan's painful expression: "You can't fight him. If he says to kill, he really dares to kill."

"Empress!" Qingyuan whispered in pain: "You can't go out. What will you do once you go out? What will happen to the child in your belly? You are the queen of Daying Kingdom. If you fall into the hands of a traitor..."

Nie Wushuang was shocked, and all her strength suddenly disappeared. She fell softly on the chair and covered her face: "But... if I don't go out... Donglin Temple will cause disaster because of me..."

Tears fell from his fingers. Qingyuan looked at Nie Wushuang who was crying in front of him. Deep pain flashed across his clear eyes. He knelt down beside her and said word by word: "Let Qingyuan protect the empress." .”

Nie Wushuang raised his head, looked at Qingyuan with a sincere face in front of him, and cried: "Is it really worth it? For me? Such an ominous woman. Feng."

Her tears rolled down on his monk's clothes and she looked at him sadly.

"It's worth it." Qingyuan said slowly. Her tears were so hot that they almost burned his heart.

"Your Majesty is the most cherished woman in the world. Your Majesty, you are worthy of it." His firm voice made Nie Wushuang feel an inexplicable sense of peace in his heart.

Outside, the monk's Sanskrit chants praying for peace came. The two looked at each other with uneasiness and bitterness...

The heavy bells resounded throughout Donglin Temple, and dusk was coming. The red clouds in the sky illuminated this century-old temple. The red light was like blood, which was disturbing. The faithful men and women at the foot of the mountain were unwilling to leave and sat on the spot waiting. There are many iron armors in the mountain temple, and no one can get close.

One day has passed and there are two days left. Two days later, the sword rises and the people are destroyed...

Xiao Fengqing stood on the tall pagoda, looking at the thousands of waves in front of her. Donglin Temple is so big, where is she hiding? Why can't I find a piece of her clothes after searching the entire temple?

It's time to give that stubborn young abbot a wake-up call.

A cold murderous aura flashed across his deep eyes, and he coldly said to the soldiers behind him: "Pass on this king's order. From now on, you are not allowed to give a grain or a drop of water to the people in Donglin Temple! I want to Let’s see how long they can last!?”

"Yes!" The soldier took the order and got off the pagoda.

Xiao Fengqing watched him leave and said coldly in her heart: Run away, can you still escape to the end of the world? Nie Wushuang!

He held his hands, and there was a chilling smile on his thin lips.

Thousands of miles away, the ice and snow in Qin had just melted. In the military tent, there was a golden-roofed tent standing conspicuously. It was already dusk. There was a candle in the tent. Xiao Fengming was facing the candlelight and carefully watching what was coming from the front. Battle report. Yelutu was very cunning, fighting and advancing along the way. If he encountered a large-scale Ying army, he would break it into pieces and blend in with the Qin people. The people of Qin are martial, their folk customs are tough, and everyone wears a machete. Once Yelutu's army sneaks into the Qin people, it will not be easy to detect them. As soon as the Yingguo army passed by, they regrouped and counterattacked, leaving the Yingguo army in chaos.

hateful! Xiao Fengming put down the battle report, with a hint of anger in his deep eyes.

"According to my decree, the entire Qin Dynasty shall implement a ban on swords!" Xiao Fengming said to the accompanying officials: "The three families are not allowed to have more than one sword. Anyone who carries a sword and does not report it to the government will be punished for treason and will be killed without mercy! "

"Yes!" The clerk responded quickly in a low voice, writing in a hurry, and an imperial edict was written out in an instant.

Xiao Fengming glanced at it for a few times and said calmly: "I'll award it."

The civil servant bowed and retreated. The day's political affairs have come to an end at this moment. Xiao Fengming rubbed his swollen forehead. It was still cold in Qin in May, and the cold wind blew hard, making the roof of the tent roar.

He walked out of the tent, looked at the bitter cold land in front of him, and exhaled heavily. Eunuch Lin quickly took the cloak and put it on him: "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body."

Xiao Fengming turned around, looked at Eunuch Lin's old face, and smiled bitterly: "Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Lin." He paused and asked: "Is there any news over there...?"

Eunuch Lin shook his head: "It's too far to go to Yingjing. Even if there is news, it was five days ago."

Xiao Fengming couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes when he heard this. Eunuch Lin saw that he was dejected and quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, there should be news today."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was suddenly the sound of rapid horse hooves in front of the camp, and someone shouted loudly. The soldiers in front of the camp gathered around and exclaimed as if they heard something.

Xiao Fengming's eyes tightened and he couldn't help but take a few steps forward. After a while, the noise over there got closer, and a messenger soldier stumbled forward, knelt down on the ground, and said intermittently: "Your Majesty... it's not good... Five days ago, King Rui's 30,000 elite troops returned to rebel and attack... …capture the imperial palace in the capital…”

Everyone in front of the imperial tent exclaimed. Xiao Fengming did not move. As expected, Xiao Fengqing rebelled. He knew that he would not take those tens of thousands of troops to confront the Qi army in the Congjiang area, let alone watch Yingjing empty and inactive.

He really dares to rebel, he really knows how to rebel...

He is handsome and elegant

There is no emotion on the face, but I don’t know what it feels like in my heart, pain? anger? Still disappointed? Still sad? …

This expected rebellion was given him the opportunity, wasn't it?

Amid the noise and panic of the crowd, he looked at the messenger who was about to faint, and asked: "What about the situation in the palace..." At the last sentence, his voice couldn't help but tremble.

The messenger swallowed his saliva and continued: "After Prince Rui captured the palace, he heard that the queen was missing, the eldest prince, the eldest princess, and the third prince were all missing..."

Xiao Fengming staggered and took a step back. Eunuch Lin quickly stepped forward to support him and said happily: "Your Majesty, this is a good thing... This is a good thing. The Queen must have brought the eldest prince and eldest princess to the north to find the emperor!"

Hearing this, Xiao Fengming felt a surge of bitterness in his heart, so bitter that he couldn't even pretend that nothing happened.

He waved his hand and walked into the tent alone.

Heading north? How could she, a weak woman, travel thousands of miles to Qin with three young children? What's more, she's pregnant? ! Some hot liquid rolled down from his eyes. The bright yellow dragon robe on his body and the dragon eyes decorated with black pearls looked at him silently. It was as if he didn't understand what the emperor was feeling sad about at this moment.

In the imperial tent, the candle burned alone, illuminating the increasingly sad look on his face.

Wushuang, he hurt her so much that night, could she still bring his child here regardless of the past grudges?

Imperial plans, hegemony, power schemes, the world... he planned everything without leaving any omissions. Xiao Fengqing's rebellion and Ying Jing's occupation were all expected by him. But why is my heart so empty, so empty that I can't feel any joy or relaxation?

Something is sinking and falling in my heart, sinking...

It turned out that he had figured out everything except his own heart...

The curtain was lifted, Eunuch Lin looked at Xiao Fengming who was sitting there, sighed softly, and quietly left.

Another day passed, and Nie Wushuang was sitting in the secret room. For the sake of safety, Qingyuan no longer allowed her to come out easily. From time to time, soldiers passed by outside the Zen room, and the shadowy shadows of swords made people even more uneasy and nervous. The entire Donglin Temple was shrouded in a lifeless atmosphere.

No one knows what kind of result will greet them three days later. Nie Wushuang stared at the only small hole that could breathe, and asked Qingyuan in a low voice through the wall, "Is he refusing to leave?"

Qingyuan was silent for a while: "I don't know. Your Majesty, please rest well." He paused and changed the topic: "Is your Majesty hungry?"

Nie Wushuang shook his head, knowing that he could not see him outside the secret room, and said with concern: "Qingyuan, you haven't eaten all day, go and eat some, otherwise how can you survive?"

Qingyuan trembled slightly, and after a long time, he said calmly: "The poor monk is not hungry."

Nie Wushuang thought he was worried about the temple, so he stopped mentioning it. At this moment, the door of the meditation room opened with a "clatter". Nie Wushuang was startled. Only a few monks came in silently and began to search the Zen room.

"What are you doing?!" Qingyuan was shocked and angry.

The leader sneered: "Abbot, if you don't want to live anymore, don't drag us down! Where did you hide the queen? Hand it over quickly! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"

Qingyuan looked at the familiar face in front of him and said angrily: "Senior brother Qingsi, are you going to help the emperor do evil? Our Donglin Temple is deeply favored by the emperor. Even if we die, we must protect the safety of the queen!"

Qingsi sneered, stepped forward and grabbed Qingyuan's collar, with a ferocious twist on his face: "It's you who are deeply favored by the emperor! Not me! It was wrong for the master to pass this abbot to you in the first place. Not only did you collude with the palace concubine to become the You have become the abbot, and now you are still hiding a woman in the temple for lewdness, you are no longer worthy of being the abbot!"
