Adore Trick of Beauty

Chapter 454 One day

After Nie Wushuang finished speaking, Xia Lan led him into the side hall. Sure enough, he saw Concubine Shu, dressed in a plain palace maid's uniform, waiting in the hall with a calm expression. It turned out that she deliberately avoided the eyes and ears of the palace and came quietly.

Nie Wushuang stepped forward and sat down, then looked back at Concubine Shu and asked, "Isn't Concubine Jingui sick? Why are you here again?"

Concubine Shu laughed at herself, glanced around, and saw the maids outside the palace, then she stepped forward and bowed down: "I am suffering from heart disease. The Queen naturally knows what the cause of my heart disease is."

Nie Wushuang saw her calm expression and secretly admired her calmness. Her father and brother were both reprimanded and demoted by the emperor. Her status in the palace had plummeted today, but she could still remain calm like this. To be able to compete with Empress Xu back then and remain standing in the palace for several years was indeed an extraordinary ability.

"I don't know. Concubine Jingui, please tell me for yourself, why did you meet me today?" Nie Wushuang said calmly.

Concubine Shu raised her head, with a hint of suppressed anger in her eyes, but she quickly lowered her head: "I came here today to ask the queen to intercede in front of the emperor and stop criticizing my father. He is already old. Big, this is not what he wants..."

Before Concubine Shu finished speaking, Nie Wushuang waved his hand: "Forget it, stop talking. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and you know that I am powerless."

Concubine Shu suddenly raised her head when she heard the words, with sarcasm in her almond-shaped eyes: "Why do you need to belittle yourself, the Queen? The Queen is already unique in the Emperor's heart today. Even if she gives a little kindness because of the past friendship between the two sisters, it can still be done." How about it? It’s just a piece of cake. Isn’t the Queen willing to do this?”

She said it boldly, but to Nie Wushuang, it sounded like she was hurting herself. She was not angry, but listened quietly to Concubine Shu's words, and then asked: "Do you think I am a cold and unfeeling person?"

Concubine Shu held back her anger in her heart, but she said softly: "I don't dare!"

Nie Wushuang looked at her face that she had endured very hard, and said with a half-smile: "You are really right, I am a cold and unfeeling woman. Don't say that you and I don't have much friendship on weekdays, even if you and I are sisters in life and death. , I will not offend the emperor for you at this time. What’s more, you are unwilling and have other plans, how can I ask for this favor on your behalf?"

After she said that, her smile turned cold: "Jingui concubine, your trip today is in vain."

Concubine Shu smiled coldly when she heard this: "I know that I came here today for nothing, but I didn't expect that the Queen wouldn't even give me any words of comfort. It's really good. No wonder you still have to take the position of Queen in the end!" Therefore, Queen Xu and my concubines are not as cold-hearted as you!"

Nie Wushuang listened carefully and smiled coldly: "That's right, I hope you understand. I am not only cold and unfeeling, but also very vindictive. You must be careful with your words in the future, and you will say something that is not right for me." If you listen, I won’t let you off easily again!”

Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu stood up suddenly, with resentment flashing in her eyes: "In this case, I will leave!"

After saying that, she turned and left.

"Wait!" Nie Wushuang's cold voice sounded behind her.

"What other instructions does the Queen have?" Concubine Shu asked stiffly.

The expression in Nie Wushuang's beautiful eyes changed. After a long time, she suddenly asked: "How much do you know about yesterday? Are those people assigned to you?"

Concubine Shu was startled, and sneered and asked: "Who is it? What is it? The queen must ask questions clearly. If you want to incriminate me, I will not accept it!"

Nie Wushuang stared at her face carefully, as if to make sure whether what she said was true, Concubine Shu looked at her coldly. Nie Wushuang looked at it for a while, then waved: "That's all, since it's not you, forget it."

Concubine Shu secretly glared at her, then turned around and left angrily.

Nie Wushuang frowned slightly when he saw her leaving. Yang Zhi came over and saw her thoughtful look on her face, and asked: "The Queen, but that noble concubine has offended the Queen?"

Nie Wushuang shook his head: "No."

After she finished speaking, she left directly, leaving Yang Zhi alone with his thoughts.

In the harem, the status of a concubine often depends on the emperor's favor or the power of her natal family. Without the emperor's favor, it would not be looked down upon if the father and elder brother from his natal family served in the court. And if there is neither, that means real loss of favor.

Concubine Shu was now demoted to the rank of noble concubine, and something happened to her father and brother at this time. Suddenly, the direction of the palace changed. The palace people who used to flatter her suddenly changed their faces. Even the palace people who were frightened by her past power and did not dare to betray easily also quietly made their own plans. They were no longer as dedicated as before. Try your best.

Xiao Fengming had just dismissed Concubine Shu's father and brother two days ago, and Nie Wushuang heard many palace officials intentionally or unintentionally slandering Concubine Jingui in front of her. Even the governor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to report that the expenses in the "Xinyi Palace" were too high and did not comply with the palace regulations, and wanted to ask the queen to cut them at her discretion, and so on.

Nie Wushuang just looked on coldly and said nothing. There was no one to offer help in times of trouble, and there were so many people who added insult to injury. She was just waiting for this wave of limelight to pass, and the palace might be able to return to its original state. However, she did not expect that her silence became the tacit understanding of the palace people, and she became more and more unscrupulous.

One day when the weather was fine, Nie Wushuang went to the imperial garden to relax. Suddenly he heard a sound of scolding coming from a distance. There were shadowy figures among the flowers and trees, and they didn't know what they were doing around them.

Nie Wushuang went up to take a look, and just after turning around a flower stone, he saw Concubine Shu holding the third prince in the crowd, standing with a dull expression, and a concubine on the side was yelling at a palace maid.

She yelled and cursed for a while. The palace maid felt wronged and Shen

I argued a few words. One of the chamberlains came forward and slapped her one after another.

Nie Wushuang's expression darkened slightly and he coughed lightly. Only then did everyone suddenly realize that the queen was behind them. He quickly came forward to pay his respects.

Concubine Shu hugged the third prince and bowed in a neither humble nor overbearing manner. Nie Wushuang looked at the little palace maid who was being beaten and frowned: "What's going on?"

The imperial concubine who just scolded me quickly stepped forward with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that this slave didn't understand the rules and bumped into me. I just want to teach her a lesson."

Nie Wushuang gave her a cold look. This palace concubine was only Jieyu of the fourth rank, but she could actually scold the palace maid in front of the noble concubine!

"Retreat, it's not a big deal. You can't cause trouble in the imperial garden in the future!" Nie Wushuang said displeased.

Seeing the unhappy look on the queen's face, the palace people immediately saluted and hurriedly left. Concubine Shu stared blankly at Nie Wushuang in front of her. After everyone in the palace retreated, she said calmly: "Thank you, Queen, for rescuing the siege."

Nie Wushuang looked at the sobbing palace maid beside her. The palace maid had a familiar face. She should be the personal palace maid who often followed Concubine Shu. She looked at Concubine Ding Shu and said, "My dear concubine, why are you doing this? You should have been able to rebuke that concubine Jie Yu for being careless."

Concubine Shu smiled, and laughed sarcastically: "So what? It's just a moment of excitement. When I was still Concubine Shu, she didn't even dare to sit on a chair in front of me. Now that I'm in despair, she Naturally, I want to get back all the grievances I had from the past from my concubine."

Nie Wushuang saw that she was indifferent, and had complicated thoughts in her heart. She knew that what she was talking about was the repeated human relationships in the palace, but what she saw today made her sigh in her heart.

Concubine Shu looked at the palace maid who was being helped away, and a sneer appeared on her lips: "The master has no power, and the slaves below cannot be saved. I am afraid that after this time, more palace people will find excuses to leave Xinyi Palace. "

Nie Wushuang raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Concubine Shu in front of her.

"If they really understood Jingui Concubine, they would not leave Xinyi Palace so easily. No matter what happens, Jingui Concubine will still have the second prince, and no one can be sure about it in the future." Nie Wushuang said. She still doesn't believe that Concubine Shu can recover from such a fall. How could Empress Shu, who even Queen Xu looked up to so highly at that time, fall into decline because of this?

Concubine Shu turned around, her almond-shaped eyes were sharp, she looked at Nie Wushuang's whole body, and suddenly giggled: "Is the Queen still worried about my concubine? Or the longer she sits in this position, the more she looks like the Empress Xu back then? Don't you look at me? I won’t feel at ease if I die.”

Nie Wushuang knew that she had resentment in her heart and did not want to argue with her. He turned around and said coldly: "Whatever you think, anyway, as long as there is peace in the palace, you will be safe."

Concubine Shu looked at the luxurious phoenix clothes on her body, and she could no longer suppress the resentment in her heart. She sneered: "This queen is so comfortable to sit on. Don't forget how you sat on it in the first place! After all, you are not a minister. I gave it to you!"

Nie Wushuang paused and turned around slowly, with a look as cold as a sword in his beautiful eyes: "What are you talking about?"

Concubine Shu was not afraid, she straightened her chest and said proudly: "The Queen understands what I said! One day, everything that should belong to me, Wang Qingning, will come back!"

After she said that, she hugged the second prince and left decisively.

Nie Wushuang stared at her leaving figure for a long time before coming back to her senses.

She said, after all, the position of queen was given to you by my concubine!

She said that one day, everything that belongs to me, Wang Qingning, will come back!

Nie Wushuang took a deep breath, looked up at the clear blue sky, and squeezed her long sleeves tightly with her slender palms. A cold look flashed across her eyes, one day...

On that day, she wants to see who has the last laugh!
