Adore Trick of Beauty

The queen was shocked when she heard the news. She always managed the harem with benevolence and often warned the concubines not to scold the palace people easily. This was deeply appreciated by Xiao Fengming. Now that such an incident happened, the queen blamed herself and ordered Gong Zhengsi to investigate closely what happened.

Concubine Yun was so frightened when she saw the corpse of the palace maid that she had been scooped up that she was in low spirits for several days. Concubine Shu was responsible for taking care of her food and daily life. When she saw this, she reported to the queen and requested that Concubine Yun be temporarily moved into her palace to rest and recuperate until the pregnancy was over.

After hearing this, the queen praised her virtuousness and ordered Gong Zhengsi to find out the truth of the matter.

Firstly, Concubine Yun did not expect that one of her palace maids would suddenly commit suicide. Secondly, she did not expect that Concubine Shu would be so enthusiastic about her. Thirdly, she did not expect that the Queen would act resolutely and arrest all the maids in the "Mingfu Palace" at once. got up.

Even though she was dull, she still noticed something unusual. She wanted to ask to see the emperor, but Xiao Fengming was still angry with her, so naturally he would not see her.

Only then did Concubine Yun truly feel that she was in a desperate situation.

Gong Zhengsi has always been strict, and he has his own way of interrogating the palace officials who are very observant. After several interrogations, the "Mingfu Palace" proved that the palace maid was indeed beaten by Concubine Yun for trivial matters. On the other hand, it was also found out that Concubine Yun had many dissatisfaction with the queen and the emperor. There was even a palace sweeper. The person took out the torn pieces of paper that had been hidden for a long time, proving that Concubine Yun was indeed resentful.

Now the concubines in the harem were in an uproar. Everyone looked at Concubine Yun in the "Xinyi Palace" with suspicion. The emperor's favor for three years still couldn't satisfy her, so what could satisfy this talented concubine?

Xiao Fengming was furious and ordered Concubine Yun to be confined for three months. In her free time, she could copy women's precepts and Buddhist scriptures, cultivate herself and cultivate her character, and there was no need to return to the "Mingfu Palace" again!

Concubine Yun immediately fainted after receiving the order. When she woke up, she was stopped by palace officials several times in search of life and death.

After the queen heard about her actions, she issued an oral rebuke: "It is your blessing to have a dragon heir. If you seek death again, it will be the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Concubine Yun was completely confused and could only cry outside the window all day long. Concubine Shu tried to persuade her several times, but she refused to listen. In the end, Concubine Shu got angry and took away her meal, saying in a cold voice: "You don't value your life or the life of your child. It would be bad if I let you eat again."

Taste the grain. "

Concubine Yun was full of grievances at first, but then she finally couldn't hold back her hunger, put away the sad look on her face, and gradually returned to normal.

…

In the "Yonghua Palace", Nie Wushuang was making a post. A pair of clean hands suddenly held her slender hands from behind her and said with a smile: "Shuang'er's handwriting is getting better and better, soft yet strong, ever-changing. It already has everyone’s style.”

Nie Wushuang looked back at Xiao Fengming's handsome face with a smile, and said with a soft smile: "Is the emperor making fun of my concubine?"

Xiao Fengming just smiled and said nothing, holding her slim waist with one hand and holding her hand with the other, and slowly wrote down the copybook.

After finishing writing, Nie Wushuang picked it up and read it, and couldn't help but smile: "Does the Emperor know what these words look like?"

Xiao Fengming sat on the desk chair and asked, "What do you think it looks like?"

"It looks very different!" Nie Wushuang said with a smile: "It doesn't look like the handwriting written by a man, nor does it look like the handwriting written by a woman. It doesn't look like the handwriting written by the emperor, nor does it look like the handwriting written by the concubine."

Xiao Fengming was startled and chuckled. Nie Wushuang leaned beside him and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't you have to be busy with government affairs?" She leaned against his chest, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and her alluring face showed curious inquiry.

Xiao Fengming rubbed the corners of his tense brows and took her hand: "Let's go and take a walk."

Nie Wushuang looked out the window. It was probably when the sun was setting. The weather was still hot at this time, but there were naturally places to cool off in the palace. Nie Wushuang changed her clothes, put on makeup and followed him out of the palace.

From a distance, the overhanging palaces and pavilions seemed to be shrouded in the brilliant afterglow of the sunset. Xiao Fengming and Nie Wushuang slowly walked along a long corridor. The palace people knelt down and worshiped Nie Wushuang along the way. Seeing their eyes quickly passing over her face, she saw fear, flattery, and even reverence in their eyes.

In the harem, there is always only one who worships those who are superior and those who are inferior. It's so cruel that it's obvious. They blindly worship the favorite in the harem, talk about her, sometimes disdain her, sometimes envy her, contradictory and strangely unified.

Nie Wushuang couldn't help but sigh in his heart and looked at Xiao Fengming, who was one step away in front of him. Although Xiao Fengming looked calm these days, Nie Wushuang always felt that he was not really relaxed. Now that the court had been purged of "collaboration with the enemy", many ministers did not dare to talk about it anymore, and they were unwilling to do it under pressure. According to the imperial edict, there should be more voices in the court, and that would at least be a normal court on the surface. And he also gained a step closer to power.

However, he was still not relaxed, and Nie Wushuang even felt that he was careless about everything.

The two of them walked in silence, followed by a group of palace attendants from a distance. Nie Wushuang looked at the palace getting closer and closer, and suddenly reminded: "Your Majesty, just past it is the Mingfu Palace."

Xiao Fengming seemed to have just woken up. He raised his head and looked at the familiar gorgeous palace and sighed: "I actually forgot to take this road."

Nie Wushuang smiled slightly, stepped forward and said considerately: "That's because the Emperor wanted to go here, so the Emperor's feet brought the Emperor here."

Xiao Fengming's eyes were slightly startled, and after a while he looked at her with complex eyes: "Do you really think that's what I think?"

Nie Wushuang sighed quietly and leaned on his chest: "Of course. Your Majesty misses Concubine Yun, and also misses Concubine Yun.

The dragon child in Concubine Nian Yun's belly would naturally come here. "

Xiao Fengming hesitated for a while, then hugged her and said tiredly: "Yes, I actually miss someone like her."

He hugged her for a while, let go of her, and walked towards the "Ming Fu Palace". Nie Wushuang was behind him, looking at the longing and loneliness that appeared on his handsome back, and couldn't help but twitching her red lips with a half-smile.

Naturally, he missed Concubine Yun. Even though Concubine Yun forced the palace maid to death and made disrespectful remarks about the emperor and queen, he still liked this woman.
