Adore Trick of Beauty

Wu Yuan was going down to write a prescription and gave her the best scar-removing elixir. After being busy for a while, Wu Yuanzheng finally retired. Seeing that nothing happened, Nie Wushuang wanted to be supported by Xia Lan to say goodbye to Empress Dowager Gao and leave. But the serving maid smiled and said: "The Queen Mother has rested. She has asked her to leave first. There is no need to resign."

After hearing this, Nie Wushuang was walking out of the inner hall. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Wu Yuan, who had just left, heading towards the announcement room led by the chamberlain. Doubts arose in her heart, did Wu Yuanzheng still want to consult the Queen Mother?

She thought secretly and walked slowly towards the "Yongxi Palace". Halfway there, she turned back and smiled apologetically: "Sister, I forgot a necklace in the palace. Can I let you look for it?"

The palace maid did not doubt that he was there and said with a smile: "How about I find him some other time and send him to the palace?"

Nie Wushuang smiled and said: "It's just a small gadget, but I made it myself. It would be a pity to lose it. I'd better look for it myself."

She said and walked inside. The palace maid did not dare to refute anymore and quickly followed her in. Nie Wushuang entered the inner hall and ordered Xia Lan to stay outside. After waiting for the palace maid to leave, he quietly climbed out from the window sill of the inner hall, bypassed the Queen Mother's announcement room and squatted down. Through the gap in the window lattice, she vaguely saw that only the Queen Mother and Wu Yuan were talking in the announcement room.

"Is it really a sword wound?" Queen Mother Gao asked, "Isn't it a fake?"

"When I return to the Queen Mother, it's really a sword wound, and the sword wielder stabbed Bi Bi from a high place." Doctor Wu said.

Nie Wushuang was frightened when he heard this. Could it be that... Empress Dowager Gao suspected that there was something fishy about Bao Jieyu's death?

"Bang!" With a sound, Empress Dowager Gao slapped her hand heavily on the case and said angrily: "Who is it? Want to go against the Ai family? Finally found Bao Jieyu who is willing to help the Ai family, but now she is dead! The queen is dead! She is also a submissive person. She hopes that the emperor will give the crown prince position to her son. She will definitely not share the same heart with the Ai family! Concubine Shu is also a sonless. The harem looks lively, but no one succeeds! Feng Feng! "

Wu Yuan was trembling and did not dare to speak.

Empress Dowager Gao had a fit and felt that she had spoken too much. She waved her hand and ordered him to leave: "Go down and shut your mouth tightly. That medicine..." Empress Dowager Gao said the last sentence extremely vaguely, and Wu Yuanzheng nodded repeatedly. . They spoke softly again, their voices becoming more indistinct as they deliberately lowered their voices.

Nie Wushuang listened for a while and saw Wu Yuan leaving, then quietly turned back to the inner hall and walked out.

The palace maid stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you have found your lost Yingluo."

Nie Wushuang took out a delicate bracelet from her sleeve: "It turns out it's not Yingluo, it's me who lost the bracelet." After saying this, she was supported by Xia Lan and slowly left the "Yongxi Palace"

Returning to the "Yonghua Palace", Nie Wushuang thought of what Empress Dowager Gao said, and the more she thought about it, the more wrong she became. Thinking that she would summon Yang Zhi, he retreated from the palace and asked, "Does His Highness Prince Rui know that Bao Jieyu is close to the Queen Mother?"

Yang Zhi nodded: "His Royal Highness Prince Rui knows this, but isn't it right for a concubine to please the Queen Mother? Is there anything wrong with this?"

Nie Wushuang's heart thumped. Yang Zhi had always been Xiao Fengqing's confidant. What he knew was similar to what Xiao Fengqing knew. Now even he didn't know that Bao Jieyu was willing to be Empress Dowager Gao's minion. Could it be that Bao Jieyu Are there any secrets left during your lifetime?

One mystery remains unsolved, and a new one emerges. Nie Wushuang rubbed his smooth forehead and felt a headache: "Go and go there in person when you are free, and tell me that today..."

The more she spoke, the more solemn the expression on Yang Zhi's face became. When Nie Wushuang finished telling what he had seen and heard today, Yang Zhi's expression was already condensed: "It seems that Bao Jieyu must have done something without telling His Highness Prince Rui. The Queen Mother With clever methods, I somehow coaxed Bao Jieyu to be submissive, and even Prince Rui didn't know about it."

Nie Wushuang thought about it more and more, and felt more and more that Empress Dowager Gao was not simple. She looked like an old woman in a deep palace. She lived in seclusion and believed in Buddhism, but she did not dare to be looked down upon by her every move. She recalled what Nanny Wu, who once taught her, had said about Empress Dowager Gao, and she suddenly felt deeply worried in her heart: How could she have the strength to fight against such a calm old woman who had experienced the ups and downs of the court? Even thinking about it makes me feel that the power of Empress Dowager Gao is intricate and unfathomable.

Yang Zhi stepped back, and she was the only one left in the palace. Nie Wushuang looked at the light smoke rising from the bronze cauldron and let out a long breath.

…

Concubine Yu's illness went up and down. One moment she was cured, the next moment she became serious again. Coming and going, Nie Wushuang didn't know what she was like. When Qiu Shou returned to the palace, Nie Wushuang finally found time to visit her with some good supplements.

The "Ziwei Palace" is as quiet as ever, with an air of dusk. Yajieyu held out her four-month-old belly and stepped forward to greet her with a smile: "I, my concubine, meet the Empress Bibi."

Nie Wushuang stared at her slightly bulging belly for a long time, then turned to Yajieyu's slightly fatter face. It seems that Yajieyu has been living well in the palace these past few months, so there is no need to worry.

"Excuse me, how are you doing with Sister Ya recently?" Nie Wushuang smiled and took her hand and walked slowly towards the side hall where she lived alone.

"It's not bad. I'm not happy anymore. I'm just greedy for sour plums. The female officials said I can't eat too much. So I have to eat in secret." Yajieyu stuck out her pink tongue and said with a smile.

Seeing that she was in a happy mood, Nie Wushuang couldn't help but smile as well: "Is the Jade Concubine feeling better today?"

"The weather has been cold these days, and the Jade Concubine is in better spirits." Ya Jieyu said, "The doctors all said that it was the cold weather that suppressed the Jade Concubine's illness."

Nie Wushuang nodded and was about to visit Concubine Jade, but Yajieyu held her hand.

She held her hand and said with a little anxiety on her face: "Your Majesty..."

"What's the matter?" Nie Wushuang asked. One look at her face and he knew she had something difficult to say.

Yajieyu stepped back and held her hand, with embarrassment flashing across her face: "I have been thinking these past few days that I cannot educate my own children personally, but who is the most suitable person to educate my children?" , I have been feeling uneasy."

So this is the topic! She waited for a long time and finally waited until Yajieyu spoke in person. Nie Wushuang couldn't help but tighten her hand, and slowly sat down, with a meaningful smile on Qingcheng's face: "This is of course true. A good concubine determines the fate of the child, and the emperor's willingness to Refuse to take care of and love you.”

Ya Jieyu smiled bitterly: "The emperor doesn't care about this child at all. I have already figured this out." After Nie Wushuang heard this, Xiao Fengming's calm and calm face appeared in front of his eyes, and he sighed softly in his heart; I am afraid that in Xiao Fengming's heart , children are just children to him. If Xiao Fengming has any shortcomings, it is that he is lukewarm towards his children, as if there is some invisible barrier separating him from his children, and he cannot easily touch his heart.

"Sister Ya thinks too much." Nie Wushuang comforted him perfunctorily.

Ya Jieyu shook her head: "I have long thought about this, not to mention that I am very satisfied with having my own child now. I sometimes think that maybe the emperor is indifferent to my pregnancy, but it is because of the emperor. I don’t really like my concubine.”

She looked up at Nie Wushuang with a complicated look in her eyes: "Maybe it would be different if it were Sister Nie..."

Nie Wushuang was horrified when he heard this. He subconsciously shook off her hand and said with a forced smile, "Sister Ya, stop talking nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense. I think Sister Nie is my sister, so I say these truthful words." Ya Jieyu looked at Nie Wushuang sincerely: "I can see clearly that the Emperor really likes Sister Nie... …”

"That's enough!" Nie Wushuang was upset and stood up suddenly: "What are you doing with these useless words, Sister Ya?"

"That's because I want to teach my child to my mother-in-law!" Yajieyu's eyes were red, and she pulled Nie Wushuang, her eyes full of sincerity: "My mother-in-law will definitely educate my child well, won't she?"

Nie Wushuang looked at her speechlessly for a while, then sighed: "Silly sister, you don't even know whether the child in your belly is a boy or a girl, why are you so anxious? Besides... I am not the only one qualified to educate you. The child, and a concubine."

Yajie's face was filled with sadness: "But Concubine Shu looks kind, and I'm always worried that she won't let me get close to my children in the future. There are countless concubines in history who took away their children and killed their mothers, and I'm not the only one who I’m worried about my children, and even more so, I’m worried about my own life.”

What Yajieyu said was not alarmist. In a harem full of murderous intentions, concubines who wanted to have children would often try their best to kill the biological mother of the emperor's heir. The same is true for Xiao Fengqing's biological mother, and the same is true for Xiao Fengming's biological mother. This is already a secret known to everyone in the palace.

Yajieyu's worries were not groundless. Concubine Shu most likely took away her child. As for Ya Jieyu's fate, without Xiao Fengming's love, her end would have been miserable.

Nie Wushuang exhaled a long breath and said in a cold tone: "How do you know that I will not take the child and kill the mother in the future? Sister Ya, you trust people too much, especially me!"

She thought of Bao Jieyu's disbelieving and ferocious face before she died, and tiredly held her forehead: "I am not a good person."
