Adore Trick of Beauty

Chapter 197

She looked at Ya Jieyu with her beautiful eyes: "How do you know that I am friends with you because my purpose is pure? How do you know that I am not using you to gain the emperor's favor? Sister Ya, don't worry about your child with me. Education, do you think I won’t think too much about it?”

She stood up coldly: "How do I know that you haven't said the same thing to Concubine Shu?" After saying that, she turned around and walked out. Yajieyu's face turned pale, and she hurriedly stepped forward to pull her away. He held Nie Wushuang's hand, but only held half of her sleeve.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, don't you believe me?" Yajieyu said eagerly: "I will never do this. You have to believe me..."

"Let's wait until you give birth to the child safely." Nie Wu's eyes flashed with an unbearable feeling that even she didn't understand. She knew clearly that maybe Yajieyu pulled her to say what she said today, but she didn't want to Discover her true final intentions.

People in the harem are too complicated. She was spying on Ya Jieyu's child, but if she had just told her she was pregnant, she would still have believed her. But now, at the moment when she changed her mind, she didn't even dare to believe it. Believe it no more. And she didn't want to bother thinking about these unimportant things.

"Your Majesty!" Yajieyu's eyes showed disappointment: "Is your Majesty going to give up on my concubine?"

Nie Wushuang paused slightly, turned his head and said calmly: "No! You will always be my sister, but sometimes you don't force me to do things where my future is unclear. To oppose Concubine Shu, I don't have the strength yet. Please take care of yourself."

After she finished speaking, she left the side hall and walked towards Concubine Jade's hall. Arriving at Concubine Jade's palace, there was only one palace maid who was taking a nap and sitting on the floor in front of Concubine Yu's bed. Nie Wushuang walked in quietly and patted her gently.

The palace maid woke up in shock. When she saw it was Nie Wushuang, she quickly knelt down and said, "This slave deserves to die! This slave deserves to die!"

"Step back." Nie Wushuang stopped her from continuing, looked at the faint profile in the tent, and waved his hand: "Don't let anyone come in. I have a few words with Concubine Jade."

The palace maid quickly retreated and raised the curtain before leaving. Nie Wushuang sat in front of Concubine Yu's bed, silently looking at Concubine Yu who was sleeping soundly. She is thinner now. Except for the slight rise and fall of her chest, there was almost no sign that she was alive.

Concubine Jade has run out of oil and lamps.

Such emotion passed through Nie Wushuang's heart, thinking about holding her thin and cold hand: "Sister Yu? Sister Yu..."

Concubine Yu woke up for a long time, opened her eyes and recognized her for a while, then smiled weakly: "So it's you." She tried to struggle to sit up, but she collapsed weakly on the bed. Nie Wushuang wanted to help her, but she pushed her hand away and coughed a few times: "Don't touch me. If you do, you will have nightmares at night."

Only then did Nie Wushuang realize that her bones were horribly thin. Each section was jagged and extremely abrupt, and she felt a little sour in her heart: "Sister Yu..."

Concubine Yu coughed a few times and forced a smile: "I heard that you were promoted to concubine. Congratulations."

Nie Wushuang knew that she wanted to change the topic, wiped the water stains from the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "Yes, the emperor is very good to me." After saying that, he felt that something was wrong. As expected, the look in Yufei's eyes darkened.

She sighed: "That's good, that's good..."

Nie Wushuang suddenly didn't know how to continue. Concubine Yu glanced at her and coughed: "Okay, let's not talk about this. You won't come here for no reason. What is it... difficult to explain?"

When Nie Wushuang saw that her sick body was in pieces, he suddenly felt that he couldn't bear it. Just when he was about to deal with it, Concubine Yu gasped and chuckled: "Say it quickly, otherwise, I don't know when I will close my eyes... cough cough……"

Nie Wushuang's heart trembled, and he couldn't think about it anymore and told her what he had overheard. Concubine Yu listened silently, and finally sighed: "The Queen Mother can't help but take action."

"Why?" Nie Wushuang only felt that there was a profound mystery in this sentence.

Concubine Yu struggled to sit up, leaned on the bedside, gasped and smiled: "You are far behind the situation than I, a sick person, can see clearly. The Queen Mother... what kind of person is the Queen Mother. In the past few years, I have been in the palace, although I haven’t seen her much, but from the little things, it can be seen that the Queen Mother is not willing to retreat to the palace to live in peace for the rest of her life.”

She started coughing again as she spoke, and Nie Wushuang hurriedly helped her. After a long time, she stopped and continued: "You should know the emperor's background. Back then, the queen mother only chose the emperor because his biological mother was a humble palace maid. Cowardly temperament is easy to control. After the emperor ascended the throne, the Queen Mother did not know what method was used to make the emperor's biological mother die of depression. This matter was not a secret, but the emperor was still young at the time and did not have any power in his hands. When the emperor later had the ability to verify , no evidence can be found.”

She paused: "You think these methods of the Queen Mother are just those used by ordinary palace concubines, right? But, no..." Her thin and pale cheeks gradually turned red, and her voice became deeper and deeper: "The determination she wants is not what you can imagine. of."

"What she wants is to completely control the entire country. As she gets older year by year, and the emperor personally governs and controls the court day by day, she begins to lose her patience. So although I don't know what she wants What to do, but you said she colluded with Bao Jieyu... This is colluding with the palace concubine as her minion, she has already taken the first step..."

"So, the Queen Mother can no longer hold back." Concubine Yu's eyes looked very big due to her thinness, and there was a strange look in her eyes: "You have to be careful."

"Be careful?" Nie Wushuang suddenly remembered Bao Jieyu's sword, but after thinking about it, he felt confused. Empress Dowager Gao could not have murderous intentions towards her. The only explanation could only be that Bao Jieyu wanted to kill her because of her. Mad with jealousy. \u003c

/p\u003e

"Be careful..." Concubine Yu slowly closed her eyes: "The person you are following is the Emperor, and one day you will be hostile to the Queen Mother..."

She said and finally fell asleep from exhaustion.

Nie Wushuang sat for a while and then left in silence. Hostile to Empress Dowager Gao? She suddenly felt a headache. She had never thought about this idea. She let Yun Le have a secret relationship with her eldest brother just so that she could gain a foothold in the harem. Now with Empress Dowager Gao making every move, her wishful thinking could still be Did it play well?

…

In the Manna Hall, the copper leak was ticking. Nie Wu was holding a volume in both hands, wearing a plain dress and leaning on the beauty's couch. Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the hall. A smile overflowed from her red lips, but she did not move. Sure enough, the footsteps stopped behind her, and a pair of clean and gentle hands caressed her shoulders.

Nie Wushuang turned around and saw Xiao Fengming walking in the frosty moonlight outside the palace. He was wearing a black cloak embroidered with auspicious clouds. There was still a hint of tiredness on his face, and his features became clearer because of the cold outside the palace.

"Your Majesty." Nie Wushuang smiled and was about to bow down, but his hand was held by him.

Xiao Fengming looked at the book she placed on the couch and smiled slightly: "Are you waiting for me?"

Nie Wushuang untied his cloak, nodded meekly, untied his cloak, and took off his coat. Palace attendants had already filed in, offering clean face towels and hot water.

Nie Wushuang waited on them one by one. Xiao Fengming put on his long gown and breathed a sigh of relief: "I just left the palace. I met several battalions of generals, so I came back late."

Nie Wushuang knew that he didn't actually need to report his whereabouts to him, but these words made her feel inexplicably warm. She responded softly and looked at Xiao Fengming who had taken off the heavy dragon hairpin and jade crown, and was beautiful for a moment. The expression in his eyes was changing.

Xiao Fengming seemed to sense that there was something on her mind, so he couldn't help but retreat from the palace and held her hand: "Is there anything you want to say to me?"

Nie Wushuang opened his mouth, but what he wanted to say came to his lips: "I went to visit the Jade Concubine today."

The smile on Xiao Fengming's face gradually faded away. He was silent for a while before asking, "How is she?"

Nie Wushuang shook his head and sighed: "Not good."

Xiao Fengming glanced at her: "When you have time, take good care of her for me and make her... as comfortable as possible."

When Nie Wushuang heard his words, she felt sad for no reason: "Yes." He said this clearly because he didn't want to see Yu Fei anymore. Is it because the poor Jade Concubine knew that she could no longer create ripples in his heart, so she so decisively extinguished her own vitality?

Xiao Fengming held her in his arms, both of them were speechless.

At this time, the thin voice of the chamberlain sounded outside the tent: "Your Majesty, the medicine is ready."

Xiao Fengming let go of Nie Wushuang and said, "Bring it in." Nie Wushuang was confused: "Why does the emperor want to drink medicine?"

Xiao Fengming said nonchalantly: "I have been suffering from gastrointestinal discomfort recently, and the hospital was very cautious, so they got some medicine for me to take."

The waiter brought the medicine, which was steaming hot. Nie Wushuang suddenly thought of Wu Yuanzheng's old face, and suddenly lost his voice: "Your Majesty, no!"

"Why not?" Xiao Fengming picked up the medicine cup, doubts in his eyes.

Nie Wushuang knew she had made a mistake, but looking at the steaming silver bowl, thousands of thoughts flew through her mind. She swallowed and suddenly smiled and said, "I suddenly remembered that this medicine is still very hot." Come on, let me test the medicine for the emperor."
