Adore Trick of Beauty

"You!" Consort Qi Yan's pretty face turned pale with anger: "How dare you speak to me like this?"

Nie Wushuang sat on the chair with a half-smile: "Did the princess forget that we are both the emperor's concubines? We are serving the same man. The only difference is that you have a higher status than me and I have a lower status than you. She's just a concubine. What's the difference besides that?"

Concubine Qi Yan's face turned red with embarrassment. After all, she was a bride.

"You..." She was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Nie Wushuang smiled and said leisurely: "Isn't Concubine De coming here to listen to Wushuang's ridicule? If you have anything to say, please just tell me. Maybe Wushuang can help because we are both from Qi. Feng."

Concubine Qi Yan's face turned white and red, and finally sighed: "He is seriously injured."

Nie Wushuang was slightly startled, and it took him a while to realize that the "him" she was referring to was Gu Qinghong. She took a sip of tea and said dullly: "The imperial doctor is here, don't worry, Concubine De."

"But, but I want to see him one last time!" Tears rolled down De Fei's beautiful eyes: "This may be the last chance I have to see him."

She cried until she was crying, while Nie Wushuang just drank tea silently. Concubine Qi Yan cried for a long time, but found that she was completely indifferent. She stamped her feet and said angrily: "I knew it was useless to look for you! You wish he was dead."

Nie Wushuang raised his head, with a smile on his beautiful face that Qi Yan couldn't see through: "No, Concubine De is wrong. I don't want him to die."

Death is too easy, it's all over. If he died, how could she let him see her revenge with his own eyes?

Concubine De was lost and couldn't understand the meaning of her words, so she murmured: "Tomorrow, tomorrow he will leave, and he will never be seen again in this life."

She staggered and turned around and walked out of the palace: "I know you won't help me, and I don't know why I came to you. Maybe... there is no one in the palace to tell..."

Only at this moment did she realize that she had embarked on a path that she could never regret. She had no future and could not let go of her feelings for Gu Qinghong. Her honorable status could not buy her the happiness of looking at him. She was really wrong.

"Wait." Nie Wushuang's calm voice sounded from behind: "I can help you."

"Are you really willing? You can?!" Concubine De turned her head and looked at Nie Wushuang with wide eyes, doubts in her eyes: "Are you really willing? Don't you hate me and him very much?..."

"If you don't believe me, Concubine De, forget it. Please come back." Nie Wushuang smiled coldly: "I don't want to get into trouble, so let's just pretend that you haven't heard what I said today. Concubine De just came to have a chat with me. .”

"No, no... no..." Concubine De quickly wiped away her tears, with hope in her eyes: "Tell me, how can you help me?"

Nie Wushuang smiled sweetly, with an imperceptible sneer overflowing from her red lips, and waved to her: "As long as Madam De Fei does what I say, you can see Gu Qinghong. Maybe..."

…

In front of the "Yonghua Hall", the hot wind blew by, not only did the heat on the body not dissipate, but it only increased the heat. Xia Lan saw Nie Wushuang standing at the entrance of the palace, seemingly fascinated by something. The evening sun shines on the smooth bluestone floor in front of the palace, as smooth as water, shining out with a colorful halo.

She stood alone in this halo of light, motionless. The wind blew by and fluttered her sleeves. Her figure was thin and graceful, as if she was about to ride the wind at any time in this light and shadow.

"What is Meiren Nie looking at?" Xia Lan couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "It's hot here, so Meiren Nie should come in and rest. The emperor might come over in the evening."

Nie Wushuang took a long breath, but did not look away: "I was looking at the palace buildings in the distance. Every evening, I always feel that this scenery is particularly beautiful."

Xia Lan curiously leaned over to take a look. As far as her eyes could see, she could only see the sunset glowing like red brocade, covering the majestic palace with a blood color that was too thick to be removed. What's so good about this bloody sunset?

She wanted to ask again, but Nie Wushuang had already turned back to the palace and ordered: "Give this food to my brother. He has just become the commander of the Imperial Guard these days and it is really hard. Let him eat more when he has time." "

Xia Lan smiled and said: "Meimei Nie is really very kind to Commander Nie." After she finished speaking, she asked the little chamberlain to send it off. Nie Wushuang said calmly: "Go and deliver it in person. Just say that I stewed this soup with all my heart. You must finish it."

Xia Lan didn't know why, so she could only deliver it in person.

Nie Wushuang watched Xia Lan pick up the food box and leave, then lay down on the imperial concubine's couch in the palace, closing her eyes and falling asleep. Tomorrow...tomorrow...

Gu Qinghong will leave tomorrow... She thought vaguely, and suddenly a pair of warm hands touched her cheek. Nie Wushuang woke up suddenly, and met Xiao Fengming's smiling handsome eyes.

"Your Majesty..." Nie Wushuang was startled and wanted to stay, but he had already held her hand: "Are you tired?"

"How can I be tired, my concubine? The emperor has been having a banquet with all the ministers these days, so he must be exhausted, right?" Nie Wushuang knew that he did not stick to trivial matters and did not insist on kneeling and saluting, so she leaned on his chest softly and said leisurely: "When will the Emperor go to his summer palace?"

Xiao Fengming looked at Nie Wushuang, who was talking softly in his arms, and smiled slightly: "Come on, the envoy from Qi will leave tomorrow." He paused and suddenly asked: "Qi Yan came to see you today? Listen to the palace lord She said there were tears on her face when she left."

Nie Wushuang knew that although Xiao Fengming did not interfere in the affairs of the harem, few things could be hidden from his eyes. She casually said, "Yes, she is homesick and came to talk to my concubine."

"Oh?" Xiao Feng

Ming looked at her clear beautiful eyes, his eyebrows raised slightly, as if he didn't believe it.

"Your Majesty doesn't believe it either?" Nie Wushuang smiled lazily: "I don't believe it either. What's the point of concubine and her talking about? She came and saw that I was indifferent, which made her even more sad. Your Majesty needs to comfort her. Give her a try."

The half-truths and half-falsehoods in her words make people love and hate them at the same time. Xiao Fengming couldn't help but reached out and pinched her cheek: "Just tease me."

Nie Wushuang chuckled, leaned against his ear, and breathed out like a blue: "Your Majesty, I miss you..."

The warm fragrant wind blew past his ears, and Xiao Fengming's pure black eyes dimmed slightly. He couldn't help but hug her tightly. His hands found the belt she had tied with the knot, and he pulled it gently. The belt felt tight, and she Her face is shy, like the most beautiful peony, as beautiful as the country.
