Adore Trick of Beauty

Chapter 124 The missing concubine (2)

That night, Xiao Fengming suddenly arrived at the "Yonghua Palace". He came very suddenly, without an imperial edict or any message. As soon as he entered the inner hall, before Nie Wushuang knelt down to greet him, he frowned and looked at her.

"Did you manage to let Qi Yan go?" There was a sudden majesty in his indifferent eyebrows, which made Nie Wushuang startled.

"Your Majesty, I'm not a concubine. How could I have the courage?" Nie Wushuang slowly knelt down.

"It's not you? Then why did she come to you crying that day?" Xiao Fengming said with anger in his eyebrows: "Aren't you still willing to tell me the truth?" He had always been gentle, and such words were already a severe reprimand. The palace people on the side did not dare to breathe, for fear of being harmed.

Nie Wushuang sighed lightly: "Your Majesty, even if I let you go, what good will I do? I have such a huge relationship to bear, not to mention that I am not familiar with Empress Dowager De."

The palace fell silent for a while, and Xiao Fengming's eyes changed. After a while, he sat on a chair and said displeasedly: "Then how did she get out of the palace?"

"I really don't know. Concubine De didn't talk to me that day. After talking for a while, she left in tears." Nie Wushuang lowered his head and said.

Xiao Fengming looked at her for a long time and then said slowly: "Get up. She shouldn't be able to walk far."

Nie Wushuang did not get up, with tears in her beautiful eyes: "How could the emperor doubt me? I have no one to rely on except the emperor and eldest brother in the palace. In the palace, no other concubine can say a word Even if I have to spend a long time to get something done, I might not be able to do it. This is not what I did at all. Your Majesty, please investigate clearly!"

Two lines of miserable tears were meandering down her face. The pear blossoms were covered with rain under the lamp, which was really heart-tugging. Xiao Fengming looked at her calmly for a long time, then helped her stand up: "I said that marrying her is a state matter. So her disappearance is also a state matter. Do you understand?"

Nie Wushuang took advantage of the situation and leaned in his arms. The familiar scent of ambergris seemed to be particularly comforting at this moment. She said quietly: "I also said that I only care about the emperor. The rest of the people, I I don’t care, and I don’t care what happens to them. Your Majesty, you have to believe me..."

Xiao Fengming raised her alluring face and smiled slightly: "I believe in people who are worthy of trust. Feng"

Under the soft candlelight, the two looked at each other and smiled, but they had their own thoughts.

That night Xiao Fengming stayed in the "Yonghua Hall". The moonlight faintly penetrated the huge windows and hit the curtains in the inner hall. Strangely, the moonlight was so bright. Disturbingly bright. Nie Wushuang couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned, but he saw the peaceful sleeping face of Xiao Fengming next to him.

He didn't believe her. Nie Wushuang stared at him blankly. After sleeping together for so long, his heart still would not sink for her. Maybe the men around her are like this, Gu Qinghong is like this, Xiao Fengqing is even more like this, and the emperor in front of her, her third man, is also like this...

She sighed and was about to turn over and fall asleep when he suddenly turned over and held her in his arms. His manly breath rushed towards her, and her world seemed to be trapped in his strong arms. Nie Wushuang couldn't move for a while, and she didn't dare to move. His sleeping breath was light and slow, tickling her cheek, like the fresh breath exuded by pines and cypresses in summer.

Nie Wushuang wanted to wait for him to turn over and leave, but she couldn't wait. This position was uncomfortable, but it made people feel safe for no reason. Tiredness slowly came over her, and she finally fell asleep in his arms.

Maybe it doesn't matter if he doesn't believe her, but he can give her a sense of stability, and that's enough... Nie Wushuang thought vaguely.

Late at night, the palace door was suddenly hurriedly swung open: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Nie Wushuang woke up, and the chamberlain who was keeping watch went to open the door. The person who came said something hastily, and then the chamberlain hurried over.

"What on earth is going on?" Nie Wushuang put on his clothes and stood up, asking in a low voice.

"Back to Miss Nie, Concubine De has been captured and is now waiting for the emperor's instructions outside the palace gate." The chamberlain said hurriedly. Nie Wushuang saw Xiao Fengming still sleeping on the bed and frowned: "Did he really get captured?"

"I don't know the specific slave. Do you want to inform the emperor?" the chamberlain asked hesitantly.

Nie Wushuang knew that the matter was serious, so he gently woke up Xiao Fengming and called the chamberlain who came to report. Xiao Fengming put on her clothes and stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Just outside the palace gate? Who else was arrested with her?"

"Your Majesty, there is no more, and Concubine De is the only one." The chamberlain reported.

"Xuan!" Xiao Fengming's face turned ugly, he gathered his clothes slightly and strode out. Nie Wushuang was worried, and then followed suit.

At the palace gate, a pale-faced woman was kneeling on the ground. The bluestone at the door was carved with auspicious bats and was leaning on her knees. However, she seemed to be a wooden figure, unable to speak or think. The guards on the side had already lit up bright torches, and the bright firelight illuminated the surroundings as if it were daytime.

Xiao Fengming looked at Qi Yan and asked coldly: "You are back? How did you come back?"

After a long time, Qi Yan slowly raised her head. Her hair was disheveled and her face was haggard. She had been having a very bad life these past two days. She looked at Xiao Fengming blankly, then moved her eyes to Nie Wushuang, who was wrapped in clothes, and suddenly smiled softly to herself: "I'm back. I have nowhere to go, so I'm back."

Xiao Fengming's face darkened, and he wanted to ask again, but Nie Wushuang quickly pulled his sleeve: "Your Majesty, please come to the palace to talk. This is not the place to talk."

Xiao Fengming frowned, knowing that Nie Wushuang was right. It was really difficult to ask such a question in public, which would bring shame to the royal family. He turned his back coldly: "Someone, bring her in."

He paused: "Also, everyone who saw this today should keep their mouths shut. Otherwise, you should know what I will do!"

The guards below quickly knelt down and responded. Nie Wushuang looked at his angry but silent back, and then at the dull Qi Yan, and the uneasiness in his heart deepened layer by layer.
