Adore Trick of Beauty

She leaned against Xiao Fengming's chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, and suddenly felt that the deep uneasiness in her heart gradually subsided. She could not lose the emperor's love, but she could not lose his favor. Without the emperor's favor, she had no capital to stand in the harem. This is what all the concubines in the harem are thinking about and trying their best to get.

Nie Wushuang sighed. Xiao Fengming seemed to feel her loneliness. He gently held her hand and sat by the window and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? I'm here, are you still unhappy?"

Nie Wushuang shook his head, but his expression remained lonely. At this time, the palace servants served the royal meal, and Xiao Fengming stopped asking questions. Nie Wushuang had already eaten half of it, and Xiao Fengming ordered her to accompany him to eat together.

When Xiao Fengming came to Donglin Temple, meat and fish dishes were not allowed in the temple. The royal meal, which usually had more than a hundred dishes, was now reduced to thirty or forty dishes of vegetarian dishes. Xiao Fengming picked up a few chopsticks each and asked casually: "I heard that in the temple you practice meditation with the monks every day and worship the Buddha. You are very pious."

Nie Wushuang smiled and said: "This is natural, sincerity leads to wisdom. The Buddha must have heard my concubine's wish, so he sent the emperor to me."

Xiao Fengming couldn't help but look at her with a smile, with a hint of warmth in his handsome eyebrows: "Don't hurt yourself, you've lost a lot of weight. I'm afraid you won't be able to wear the summer clothes I gave you last time. When you get back to the palace I will ask the Shangyi Bureau to sew ten more sets."

Nie Wushuang glanced at him, lowered his head and smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

"Didn't the Queen Mother reward you with many things? If you can wear them, wear them. I see you are so elegant." Xiao Fengming said.

Nie Wushuang felt a slight suddenness in his heart and said quickly: "This is because I have taken advantage of my brother. Besides, I have donated all the rewards given by the Queen Mother to the temple as sesame oil money. I don't dare to be good at it."

The ivory chopsticks in Xiao Fengming's hand paused for a moment, then he picked up a crystal dumpling and put it on her plate, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes: "You are really pious, Feng."

Nie Wushuang smiled faintly: "I am devoted to the Buddha. Does your Majesty still have any doubts?"

…

After the meal, Xiao Fengming held Nie Wushuang's hand and walked away in the temple. Due to the arrival of the emperor, Donglin Temple specially avoided the crowds. Wherever the two of them passed, they could only hear the faint sound of Sanskrit sounds and the sound of wooden fish in the large and small Buddhist halls, which had a vague sense of being out of the world. Nie Wushuang suddenly remembered something and smiled at Xiao Fengming: "I personally copied a Buddhist scripture and gave it to the Queen Mother to wish her health every year. I also copied a Buddhist scripture and gave it to the Emperor. Does the Emperor want to read it?"

Xiao Fengming turned around and raised his eyebrows: "In just a few days, you were able to copy as many as two copies?"

Nie Wushuang smiled: "The other book is a book that the emperor will definitely want to read. Although it cannot save all sentient beings, it can make the emperor's ambitions flourish."

Xiao Fengming was intrigued by the profound meaning of her words: "What kind of book is it?"

Nie Wushuang ordered Mingqiu to go back and get it. After a while, Mingqiu took it over. Nie Wushuang placed the thin book in his plain palm and said to Xiao Fengming: "The emperor has read it and is not allowed to punish me. Otherwise, I would rather burn this book."

She held the booklet in her hands, and although she was smiling, her palms were already covered in cold sweat. Her actions today were undoubtedly to test his bottom line. You must know that those who interfere with politics in the harem will be punished! She was gambling with her own life, but she was unwilling to let such a talent that the emperor wanted slip away.

Xiao Fengming stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Please show it to me. It's not a treasonous book, right?"

Nie Wushuang suddenly knelt down: "I know that my crime deserves death, but I can't bear to see a talented person disappear among everyone, and not be reused by the emperor for the rest of his life, so I made the decision without permission and asked him to write an article Let the emperor review the policy."

The smile on Xiao Fengming's face gradually faded. He took the book in Nie Wu's hands and said calmly: "The person who can make you commit the crime of interfering in the harem's political affairs must be outstanding. I can take a look first. "

Nie Wushuang knelt on the ground, half relieved. Xiao Fengming didn't ask her to get up, so she had to continue kneeling. The bluestone ground was very hot with the heat of the day. After kneeling for a while, she felt her knees were burning. Xiao Fengming read ten lines at a glance for a while, then closed the book suddenly and looked at her with a heavy gaze: "Do you think what he said is right?"

Nie Wushuang was suffocated by his majestic gaze and kowtowed quickly: "I only think what he said is somewhat reasonable... I think..."

"No need to say any more. Just get on with yourself. Don't talk about what happened today to outsiders, otherwise I won't be able to protect you!" A warning flashed through Xiao Fengming's eyes. Nie Wushuang took a breath of air, but felt truly relieved. She knew that crazy student Liu Yucheng could really see Xiao Fengming!

"I dare not reveal even a single word." Nie Wushuang said.

Xiao Fengming put the booklet in his sleeves and helped her up. He looked at her with a complicated expression, and finally sighed: "You always make me so happy and hateful! Could it be that the glory and wealth I gave you Doesn’t that make you feel at ease?”

He revealed her thoughts. Nie Wushuang was shocked and suddenly didn't know how to respond. After a long time, she said quietly: "I said that I only care about the emperor. What the emperor wants is what I care about."

Xiao Fengming returned to the other courtyard, and soon sent a servant to call Liu Yucheng. Nie Wushuang felt mixed feelings when he saw Liu Sheng entering Xiao Fengming's imperial study and chatting for a long time before leaving. She had no idea what they talked about or what the outcome was. The only thing she knew was that when Yagyu left, his eyes were shining, as if they were lit up.

The next day, after Xiao Fengming visited Buddhism early in the morning, he took Nie Wushuang back to his palace in Jingzhou. In Longhu, Xiao Fengming looked at the thin book in his hand, his eyebrows furrowed, as if he was puzzled. Nie

Wu Shuang didn't know what their conversation was like yesterday, and she didn't dare to ask.

Xiao Fengming looked at it for a while and handed it to Eunuch Lin: "Put it away for me. Don't let anyone see it." Eunuch Lin knew that this thing was of great importance and did not dare to neglect it. He carefully put it in the secret pocket on his chest. Then he retreated.

Nie Wushuang sat on his knees on a soft cushion beside him, looking at his nose and heart. Sit upright.

Xiao Fengming looked out the window in trance, and there was silence in Longxu for a while. At this moment, a fast horse suddenly came galloping ahead. Xiao Fengming came to his senses and was about to ask, but Eunuch Lin had already asked: "Who is coming?"

The visitor did not say anything, as if he had taken out some token. Eunuch Lin looked calm and quickly took the square tube from his hand and handed it to Xiao Fengming himself. Nie Wushuang saw the man in black attire through the gap in the bright yellow car curtain, with a dull expression on his face, standing like a javelin on a horse. He did not stop after delivering the things, and immediately disappeared on horseback like the wind. Nie Wushuang suddenly had a sudden thought in her heart. Although she didn't know the identity of the man in black, but since he could walk straight in front of the imperial commander without any obstruction, he must be a spy under Xiao Fengming or something like that. Could it be that something big happened?

Her heart was beating like a drum, and she turned to look at Xiao Fengming, only to see that he only glanced at him a few times, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Go quickly, change the route, and return to the capital!" He ordered coldly. When Eunuch Lin heard this from outside the carriage, he couldn't help but be startled and quickly ordered to get off. For a moment, he could only hear the guards shouting orders to the horses, and the chants of orders were coming and going. Nie Wushuang felt the dragon under him suddenly move, and the six sacred horses rushed forward like the wind.

Nie Wushuang was caught off guard and fell backwards. A steady hand held her waist. Nie Wushuang looked up and saw Xiao Fengming's handsome face as sinking as a pool of water, with no expression in his pure black eyes. She didn't know what exactly happened, but judging from the look on his face, something extremely bad must have happened.

Xiao Fengming only brought 500 cavalry guards to Donglin Temple this time. Now he is galloping all the way back to Beijing. It is easier to travel with a light car. Nie Wushuang was sitting in the dragon carriage, like a small boat heaving in the sea. She could only hold on to the handrails on the side to prevent herself from rolling out of the carriage. Xiao Fengming sat upright, his face still gloomy, but looking at it for no reason made people feel that even if the sky fell, he would be able to withstand it.

Ying Guo's cavalry was brave and good at fighting, and even better at running. The cavalry who escorted Xiao Fengming out of the palace in Beijing were all first-class and excellent cavalry. The bumpy ride for half a day was nothing at all. But Nie Wushuang was so miserable that his chest felt so tight that he felt like vomiting. In the end, I could only hold Xiao Fengming's hand sadly so as not to faint.

Nie Wushuang felt drowsy along the way as Long Chao jolted violently. The road seemed to be endless. Nie Wushuang wanted to open his eyes to see if he had arrived in the capital, but he felt so uncomfortable that even opening his eyes was a burden.

In her daze, a pair of hands picked her up and placed her on his knees, and his faint voice came to her ears: "Just bear with it and it will be fine."

Nie Wushuang wanted to ask him what was going on, but he stopped saying anything.

After galloping all the way, Xiao Fengming finally arrived in the capital just before it got dark and the palace gate was locked. When the guards who were about to close the city gate saw the bright yellow canopy in front of them, they couldn't help but hurriedly open it. Just as they opened the palace gate, the sound of thundering horse hooves was almost deafening, and the dragons galloped past, raising dust all over the sky.

Xiao Fengming shook his head, handed the already drowsy Nie Wushuang to the waiter beside him, turned and strode away.

"The Emperor returns to the palace——"

"The Emperor returns to the palace——"

…

The distant chorus seemed to be more tense and inexplicably nervous than usual, and it was even more heart-wrenching in this dark night...
