Adore Trick of Beauty

Chapter 110: Assassination in the Palace (2)

Halfway through, Nie Wushuang saw the guards rushing past with nervous expressions on their faces. She quickly grabbed someone and asked anxiously: "How is the Emperor? Is the Emperor okay?'

The guard replied: "Your Majesty is fine. The assassins attacked a pair of imperial guards on night patrol. Several people were injured."

Nie Wushuang felt strange after hearing this. Before he could ask again, the guard had already left in a hurry. Arriving at the Linde Hall, there were several guards in front of the hall, with heavy iron armor and serious faces.

Nie Wushuang wanted to go in, but was stopped.

The night was as cold as water, and she didn't know what was going on inside, so she could only wander outside the temple. After a long time, Eunuch Lin in front of the emperor came over in a hurry: "Meimei Nie is here? Please come with our family."

Nie Wushuang asked: "How is the emperor?"

Eunuch Lin hesitated for a moment: "Your Majesty is fine, but... alas..." He sighed and said to Nie Wushuang, "Let's talk about it after Miss Nie comes in."

Seeing his expression, Nie Wushuang was filled with doubts and could only follow Eunuch Lin in in a hurry. When she arrived at the palace, she saw the palace maid taking a basin of blood and walking out. She was frightened and was about to ask, but Xiao Fengming had already turned out of the screen.

"Your Majesty!" Nie Wushuang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his whole body was intact: "It's just fine that Your Majesty is fine. I thought..."

"Go and see your elder brother." Xiao Fengming sighed slightly: "He was hit by a sword and was seriously injured."

Nie Wushuang was shocked, turned pale, and fell to the ground.

"Nie Meiren!" Eunuch Lin hurriedly stepped forward to help her. Nie Wushuang felt that all the strength in her body had been drained and she could no longer move. A pair of strong arms under her armpits lifted her up, and Xiao Fengming held her in his arms: "It's okay, General Nie will get through it!"

Nie Wushuang trembled all over, pushed him away without saying a word, and stumbled behind the screen. She saw Nie Minghu on the soft couch, his face white as white, his eyes closed, and a bandage stained red with blood was wrapped around his chest.

"Brother..." She wanted to walk over, but she couldn't move. This is the eldest brother, her only eldest brother! My trembling hand reached out, but it seemed out of reach. She gritted her teeth and finally forced herself to move to the couch. She stroked his handsome eyebrows with her trembling hands: "Brother..."

"Meimei Nie, the imperial doctor said that Guard Nie lost too much blood. As long as he doesn't have a fever tonight, he can survive it if he wakes up tomorrow." Eunuch Lin comforted softly from the side: "Guard Nie is brave and will be fine!"

Nie Wushuang just cried silently. No amount of tears could wash away the overwhelming hatred and regret in her heart. She should not have called her brother from the capital. is her! For his own sake, he asked his eldest brother to bring Princess Yunle to Donglin Temple. If he doesn't come...

Nie Wushuang just sobbed, looking so miserable that even Eunuch Lin beside him felt pity for him.

"Nie Meiren?..." Eunuch Lin tried to call her. However, Nie Wushuang did not move at all. Her hand suddenly touched the rosary beads in her sleeve, like a person who had fallen into the water grabbing a straw. She hurriedly pinched it in the palm of her hand.

"Brother, I was wrong. I should not have called you back from Qin, nor should I have let you bring Princess Yunle to Donglin Temple for my own sake. I should not have let you bring Princess Yunle to Donglin Temple for my own sake. I should not have let you bring me to Donglin Temple for my own future in the palace. Go please Yun Le and let you do things you don't like to do..." She murmured into his ear, tears falling on his face, her heart ached so much that even her soul wanted to scream.

She knelt in front of the couch and began to slowly recite scriptures. After staying in Donglin Temple for a few days, she had finished reciting the Diamond Sutra, unfolding it word by word in front of her eyes. She closed her eyes, but her tears couldn't stop flowing. Even if she hated the world and the illusory compassion of gods and Buddhas, she would rather For my brother, I believed there was a miracle in the sky on this night.

Xiao Fengming looked at the woman under the dim lights, crying and reciting scriptures to pray for her brother. Her hair was messy, and some of it was scattered on her weak shoulders. She bent down humbly, and tears fell from her cheeks. He had never noticed that she was as beautiful as a celestial being even when she was sad.

Eunuch Lin wanted to step forward to persuade him, but Xiao Fengming waved to him, signaling to retreat. There was silence in the hall, and Nie Minghu's chest slowly rose and fell, as peacefully as if he was sleeping. Xiao Fengming sighed, turned around and left.

It's even more ticking, boring and hypnotic. The sky was finally getting brighter, and Nie Wushuang didn't know how long she had been kneeling. When a ray of early morning light passed in front of her eyes, she finally raised her head and looked at Nie Minghu on the couch.

"Brother, wake up..." She touched his forehead with her hand, with a smile on her face, but her tears couldn't stop: "Brother, it's time to wake up..."

After a long, long time, Nie Minghu finally opened his eyes and sighed: "How long have I slept?"

Nie Wushuang burst into tears. She could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart. She hugged him and cried loudly: "Brother, you scared me to death! Brother, you are so evil!"

Nie Minghu was assassinated and seriously injured. The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. There were fifteen assassins last night, five of whom had been killed on the spot. The remaining ten were either wounded and fled, or they were outnumbered and committed suicide when being hunted. After investigation, it was found that these assassins were the same ones who assassinated Nie Wushuang a few days ago. It is conceivable that these two assassinations were targeted at the Nie brothers and sisters.

Nie Minghu was seriously injured and should not move. Xiao Fengming ordered Nie Wushuang to accompany him, and the Holy Driver set off immediately.

"Sister, I'll do it myself!" In "Yuanqing Pavilion", Nie Minghu looked at Nie Wushuang coming over with a bowl of chicken soup, and couldn't help but want to get up.

"Brother, drink it while it's hot. I cooked this for you. I've been cooking it for two hours!" Nie Wushuang smiled, looking at the fire for a long time made sweat form on her forehead.

"Just leave these to the servants." Nie Minghu said distressedly. In this palace courtyard, Nie Wu

In order to take care of him, Shuang had been doing it personally for several days in a row, reminding him of the time when he was in King Rui's Villa.

"Because of me, you missed the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet in the palace." Nie Minghu said regretfully.

Nie Wushuang smiled indifferently. There is a Chinese Valentine's Day banquet every year, but there is only one older brother.

"It goes without saying that everyone knows who wants to harm us, brother and sister." After Nie Minghu finished drinking the chicken soup, his face turned pale when he thought of his injuries.

Nie Wushuang looked at the blue and clear sky outside the window and said calmly: "Brother, don't worry, he will pay the price he deserves!"

She turned around and smiled gently: "Brother, it is proper to heal your injuries."

Ten days later, Nie Wushuang returned to the palace. Under the imperial edict, Wen Yan comforted the Nie brothers and sisters, and appointed Nie Minghu as a first-grade sword-bearing guard and deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army.

It was almost a month since Nie Wushuang returned to "Yuanxiu Palace", but it felt like a lifetime ago. The queen sent people to express her condolences, and the concubines of each palace also sent palace servants to bring various gifts. Suddenly, the originally crowded "Yuanxiu Palace" became even more crowded.

Yang Zhi brought the emperor's reward. Seeing how crowded Nie Wushuang's palace was, he tried to ask: "How about Nie Mei asked the emperor to move to the 'Hanyi Palace' where the palace is gorgeous and more spacious."

Nie Wushuang smiled and said: "I have just entered the palace and it is not a humble woman's virtue to work hard."

Somehow this word reached the ears of the emperor. The emperor appreciated it and issued an order to commend him. He ordered Nie Wushuang to move to the "Yonghua Palace", a palace closer to the "Ganlu Palace". Nie Wushuang repeatedly refused, and the emperor was determined. Finally, Nie Wushuang could only obey the imperial edict and moved into the "Yonghua Hall".

"A beauty can actually move into the 'Yonghua Palace', this is really... hum!"

The queen looked at the person who made the sound, it was Bao Jieyu. She had an indignant look on her face, with a look that she dared not speak out.

"Is Bao Jieyu dissatisfied with the emperor's arrangements?" The queen took a sip of tea and looked at the sky. It was still early and only half of the concubines who came to pay their respects had arrived.

"I don't dare, it's just that the emperor's arrangement really doesn't comply with the rules." Bao Jieyu said angrily, unwilling to do so.

The queen just sipped her tea. After a while, the concubines came one after another to greet her. She smiled gracefully and accepted the greetings of the concubines. When Bao Jieyu saw that there were so many people, she stopped talking angrily. After a while, a chamberlain sang in harmony: "Meet Nie Mei! -" As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw a purple cloud floating in front of the door, and their eyes seemed to be pierced by light.

Nie Wushuang was walking over with a smile on her face. Today she was wearing a long purple gauze dress, covered with gauze of the same color, with a long flowing cloud-like shawl draped over her shoulders, swaying as she walked. Her hair is combed into a flowing bun, simply decorated with a few white jade hairpins. The hairpins are inserted upwards from the temples one after another to form a fan shape, making her look indescribably graceful and handsome.

"My concubine Nie Wushuang pays homage to the Queen. The Queen is a thousand years old!" A gentle and clear voice sounded like a mountain spring.

The queen helped her stand up with a smile: "We haven't seen her for a few days, and Beauty Nie seems to have been reborn, which is impressive."

Nie Wushuang's beautiful eyes were full of smiles: "The Queen is ridiculous. Wushuang survived the catastrophe, and it was God's blessing. Everything is still God's will."

The queen ordered the palace attendants to bring a chair and place it on her head: "Sit down." Being able to sit on the queen's head was a great honor for Nie Wushuang's current position.

Nie Wushuang refused, and while she was talking, Bao Jieyu snorted: "Just sit down when I tell you to. Maybe not long after, Beauty Nie will also be in that position."
