Adore Trick of Beauty

Xiao Fengming's expression turned from angry to helpless after hearing this, and he sat down on the chair after a while. Nie Wushuang was also speechless. How did she know that Qi Yan was determined to die during the day? If she had known, she would never have said such despairing words.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, Concubine De has been rescued." The chamberlain hurriedly came to report, breaking the silence in the room.

Nie Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Fengming put on his clothes and said nothing. After a long time, he said calmly: "Go to the 'Nongyun Palace' to deliver the decree. The virtuous concubine has no virtue. From now on, she will be deposed as a noble concubine and demoted to the 'Yongxiang' to think about her faults. Do not come out without permission."

The chamberlain was surprised, Xiao Fengming glanced at it lightly, shuddered, and quickly retreated. Nie Wushuang looked at his calm face, stepped forward and asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty, must this be the case?"

Xiao Fengming said calmly: "The marriage between the two countries is not a child's play. The national affairs negotiations between the two countries are about to begin. She committed suicide easily. This is already a serious crime. I did not give death to her and she was punished lightly."

Nie Wushuang felt pity in his heart, it turned out that Qi Yan couldn't even die.

"Can't the emperor let her go?" Nie Wushuang asked.

"No." Xiao Fengming answered Feng flatly.

Nie Wushuang could only say the right thing, and the candlelight danced, making the two people's faces look uncertain...

…

The news that the concubine Qi Yan was demoted to Yongxiang for committing suicide shocked the Qi envoys. Now that the two countries were negotiating to divide Qin, Xiao Fengming was furious and the negotiations between the two countries were completely shelved. Doesn't that mean that the vast Qin land will completely belong to Yingguo? !

The envoys of the State of Qi were all shocked and confused. The State of Qi originally did not have much advantage in this negotiation, but now that the incident involving the concubine Qi Yan has caused trouble, the State of Qi has lost even more confidence. They all begged to see Xiao Fengming, but they were all blocked back by the chamberlains in front of the imperial study.

In the palace, Nie Wushuang listened to various speculations about the reasons for Qi Yan's suicide, and there were many different opinions. She looked at the bright spring scenery outside the window and felt regretful in her heart. She was originally a proud girl with a bright road ahead of her, but she stubbornly chose the most difficult and tragic ending. When she finally woke up, it was already too late. Too late, one can only seek relief through death.

"Idiot..." She sighed lightly, and her gentle sigh went away with the spring breeze without a trace.

…

In "Yongxiang", Gu Qinghong looked at the young woman who was still asleep on the shabby bed, slowly stepped forward and brushed away a strand of hair from her temples. The woman on the bed seemed to feel someone coming and tried her best to open her eyes.

She took a long breath and said in a hoarse voice: "Am I in the underworld?"

"No. Your Highness the Princess is still in this world." A clear and calm voice sounded in the dark corner of the room.

Qi Yan turned her head with difficulty, and in the dim light, she finally recognized his face.

"It turns out...you are here too." She smiled bitterly: "Death is not done yet."

"Where is this?" she asked again.

"Yongxiang!" Gu Qinghong hesitated for a long time and finally said.

Yongxiang? ! After Qi Yan was stunned, she suddenly laughed: "It turns out that you can't even die."

Gu Qinghong stood beside her, looking at Qi Yan, whom he had not seen for more than a year, with complicated expressions in his eyes: "Your Highness, do you feel better?"

Qi Yan closed her eyes, tears rolled down from her dry eyes: "You go. I'm already like this. But it's okay, I'm no longer the princess of Qi, and I'm an abandoned concubine. There is nothing to give up anymore. You are worried."

Gu Qinghong took a step forward, and his voice was as cold as ice spring: "Do you think you can get away with it if you are like this? Now that Qi Ying and the two countries are about to discuss it, if you make a fuss like this, you know that the envoys of Qi State have been The Emperor of Ying State refused to enter the country. You are now a sinner of Ying State!"

Qi Yan couldn't help but burst into tears on the bed. She shouted to him uncontrollably: "It's all because of you! It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up like this!"

"Qinghong has never promised anything to Her Highness the Princess! I have also advised Her Highness the Princess that marriage is not a piece of cake!" Gu Qinghong pursed his thin lips tightly and drew a sharp arc.

"You..." Qi Yan was suddenly speechless. Yes, he had never promised her anything, and the marriage was just an act of anger on her part. She always thought that if she contributed to the national affairs that he cared about, he would look at her differently. Unexpectedly, this was just an extremely naive idea on her part.

Now that the bitter fruit has been sown, she can never look back.

"Qinghong..." She struggled to get up from the bed and threw herself on the ground with tears in her eyes: "Qinghong, please save me. I don't want to be here. I don't want to be here... Qinghong, why are you treating me so much? Don’t you have a trace of pity?”

She tugged at the hem of his gown and cried like a mess.

Gu Qinghong let her pull him. After a long time, he sighed and said, "It's too late."

"No!" Qi Yan cried: "Qinghong, I love you, Qinghong..."

"But I don't love you. Your Highness, Princess. You are wrong. This is Qinghong's true words." Gu Qinghong slowly pulled the hem of clothes out of her hands and said calmly.

"No..." Qi Yan fell to the ground crying. Watching him walk away without looking back.

"Gu Qinghong! I know why you don't want me, because you only have that witch Nie Wushuang in your heart, and you can't forget her at all! Gu Qinghong, I curse you..." Her hysterical voice came from behind, one after another, with final thoughts. Hearing this madness makes people feel chilly in their hearts.

Without looking back, Gu Qinghong slowly walked out of "Yongxiang". Behind him, the dilapidated courtyard formed a dazzling contrast with the majestic and gorgeous palace not far away. Is it possible to take a wrong step and not be able to recover?

He sighed,

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, a cold voice suddenly came from behind: "Isn't it you who caused her bad consequences today?"

Gu Qinghong turned around and suddenly choked up his voice. I saw Nie Wushuang holding a little boy in brocade clothes in his arms. With piercing disgust in her eyes, she looked at him coldly.
