Adore Trick of Beauty

The long street was silent. Only the horses snorted uneasily.

Xiao Fengqing looked at Nie Wushuang, who had a murderous look on his face. She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only cast her scolding gaze on Yang Zhi behind her: "I didn't know that you actually wanted to kill Gu Qinghong."

Yang Zhi lowered his head in shame.

Nie Wushuang said coldly: "You don't have to blame him! It was my own idea to kill Gu Qinghong, and he only found out tonight. But Your Highness, you came so strangely, I would like to ask Your Highness, why do you protect him?!"

Xiao Fengqing just pursed her thin lips, with an uncertain expression in her long, narrow and deep eyes.

Nie Wushuang waited for a long time but still couldn't wait for his answer. She sneered coldly: "Since Your Highness has nothing to say, I am going back to the temple!"

As she said this, she got into the carriage and shouted coldly: "Let's go!"

But as soon as her voice fell, the coachman remained motionless. She wanted to say more, but a shadow passed before her eyes, and there was a person in the carriage that she least wanted to see right now.

Yang Zhi quickly got out of the car and whispered a few instructions to the driver. The carriage staggered forward.

Nie Wushuang put on his hood with a cold face and stopped looking at him.

There was no light in the carriage, and his aura became more and more distinct in the small carriage. Nie Wushuang simply closed his eyes and said nothing.

"You have made a lot of determination to kill him, right?" Xiao Fengqing's voice was right next to her ears, less lazy and careless than usual, and softer.

Nie Wushuang was startled and still didn't speak.

His palms turned cold, and he held her hand: "Gu Qinghong must die, but not now."

His hands were so cold that they seemed to penetrate into her heart. Nie Wushuang shook off his hand: "Whatever His Highness says is whatever it is, and Wushuang just obeys!"

"You!—" He couldn't help but feel angry, but he held it back. His abnormality tonight made Nie Wushuang full of doubts.

Thinking about it, Nie Wushuang sneered coldly: "Isn't it true? What does Gu Qinghong have to do with His Highness? What does it have to do with His Highness whether I kill him or not?"

She was finally willing to talk to him. Xiao Fengqing took a long breath and stretched her limbs: "He is the only suspect in the assassination of Shanglinyuan. The emperor did not investigate this matter thoroughly because of Gu Qinghong's special status. Convicting him may cause diplomatic relations between the two countries. Now if you really kill him Without him, wouldn't the Emperor suspect that there is someone behind all this?"

"And if you think about it again, if Gu Qinghong dies without any evidence, and the assassination has not yet been found out who is the mastermind, the emperor of Qi will probably make a big fuss about this matter to force him to make concessions on the division of Qin. . Qi State was originally dissatisfied with this agreement, and they only reluctantly agreed to it after signing it. How could they let go of such a good excuse?"

"It's just a trivial matter of assassination. If the investigation continues, it turns out that Gu Qinghong is the mastermind, and Qi Guo is at fault first. If you get involved, things will become more complicated."

His unhurried words made Nie Wushuang suddenly quiet down. She frowned and thought hard. My heart seems to have sunk into a confused place, and I can't tell the difference between east, west, north and south, but it is clear that the light from before is right in front of me, and I only need to think again to figure it all out...

"So, His Royal Highness Prince Rui is thinking about the Emperor?" Nie Wushuang turned his head and asked with a half-smile.

Her eyes were so sharp, as if she wanted to penetrate all his thoughts.

Xiao Fengqing lowered her eyes, yawned suddenly, put her arms around her waist, and whispered in her ear: "Then what other thoughts do you think this king has?"

He was so close, with a hint of temptation and coaxing. Nie Wushuang pushed him away coldly: "No matter who says this, I will believe it. Even His Highness, I will not believe a word of it."

Her words were so frank that Xiao Fengqing's face froze slightly, and then he smiled casually: "Believe it or not, it's just that Gu Qinghong can't die now."

Nie Wushuang looked at his unclearly handsome face and turned back coldly.

In the distance, Huguang Temple was approaching. Nie Wushuang stopped his horse, got off the carriage, and was led by Yang Zhi towards the side door of the temple in a hurry. She walked a few steps and suddenly turned back, looked at Xiao Fengqing in the carriage, and said coldly: "What happened tonight is just a grudge between me and Gu Qinghong. Your Highness should not interfere in the future. If you interfere again, don't blame Wu Shuang for being ruthless!"

After she said that, she was led by Yang Zhi into the darkness.

Xiao Fengqing watched her butterfly-like figure disappear, her eyes narrowed slightly, but the smile on her lips became deeper and deeper...

She was really willing to kill Gu Qinghong ruthlessly! This realization hit his mind, making his worries all night disappear.

"Haha, go back home!" He ordered the coachman with a smile, lifted the corner of his robe, and got into the carriage.

…

The next day, Nie Wushuang returned to the palace. It had only been a day since he had not dealt with matters in the palace, and there were a lot of trivial matters. Seeing that winter was coming, more winter clothes were made and more heating appliances were added in each palace. When the queen returned to the palace, the concubines came to pay their respects one after another. They talked about whether this year's autumn hunting was going to be held or not, and talked about various festivals after autumn. They were very annoying.

Nie Wushuang had a heavy expression on her face when she returned to the palace from Huguang Temple. When these trivial matters were presented to her, she felt even more depressed. She simply summoned the concubine Jing and gave her full authority to make arrangements. She reluctantly exchanged a few words with the concubines and sent them off.

Concubine Jing came according to her wishes, and soon the affairs of each palace were arranged in order in her hands. Seeing that Nie Wushuang was upset, she asked softly: "Did the Queen suffer from anger at Huguang Temple?"

"No." Nie Wushuang forced a smile and said, "It's just that I can't get used to sleeping in the Zen room of Huguang Temple."

After hearing this, Concubine Jing immediately smiled with peace of mind and said: "It is always better to be in the palace than to be away from home. Since the Queen is tired, she should rest for a while. Concubine, please retire..."

She said and quietly retreated with the palace maid.

Quietness returned to "Chenghua Hall". Nie Wushuang looked at the pots of blooming autumn chrysanthemums placed in front of the palace, and thought of the chrysanthemum courtyard in Huguang Temple. He turned around and told the palace servants: "Move them all! I'm tired of seeing them!"

Seeing her unhappy tone, the palace maid quickly ordered people to move it away and replace it with other flowers. With just one word from her, the scenery in Chenghua Hall was completely transformed. But this still made her brows not relax even a little bit.

Nie Wushuang was walking on the covered bridge. Maple trees were planted all around the Chenghua Palace. In autumn, the palace was filled with fiery red maple leaves, which were more beautiful than the flowers. The red leaves set off the exquisite palace, making you feel like you are walking in a painting. Nie Wushuang looked at it for a long time, and then felt that the depression in his heart was relieved.

Yang Zhi came forward hesitantly, bowed his head and knelt down and said: "Queen!"

Nie Wushuang looked at him coldly and did not order him to get up. He said coldly: "Eunuch Yang's master is not me. You will become your real master when you go and kneel down. Why do you need to come to see me again?"

With just one word, cold sweat broke out on Yang Zhi's forehead, and he leaned even lower: "I don't dare! I don't dare!"

"You still say you don't dare? If you hadn't secretly communicated the news to him, how would he have known what I was going to do?!" Nie Wushuang's heart was filled with anger.

"Queen, Your Highness has already made it clear to your Majesty that this servant is for your Majesty's own good!" Yang Zhi defended in a low voice.

"Okay?!" Nie Wushuang laughed angrily: "You treat me like this despite the fact that I regard you as my confidant? I will give you two choices today. First, tell me why His Highness Prince Rui wants to protect Gu Qinghong. Second, , get out of Chenghua Palace from now on, I don’t need disloyal people!”

"Empress!" Yang Zhi was shocked, his whole body was shaken, and he could hardly believe his ears.

"It's your choice whether to say it or not. If you say it, you are still the chief steward of Chenghua Palace! If you don't say it, I won't be able to keep you!" Nie Wushuang's face was condensed.

"Queen, Your Highness has made it clear, what do you want me to say?" Yang Zhi's face turned pale.

Nie Wushuang sneered twice: "Do you think I will believe what he said?" The cold look in her beautiful eyes did not change: "He kept everything he wanted to do from me. Is this what he meant by sincerity?! You let me How can I trust that he will fulfill my covenant with him?"

"My Majesty, please calm down!" Yang Zhi could only lower his head: "Nothing your Highness does will ever hurt your Majesty! Your Majesty, you must trust Your Highness!"

believe? She sneered in her heart, how could she believe it? Where do you believe it? She hated being kept in the dark the most. He kept saying that he wanted to avenge her, but even Gu Qinghong wouldn't let her do it. What else can we talk about about the faint king of Qi State and the vast territory of Qi State? ?

I'm afraid he is just using her hatred as an excuse to satisfy his ulterior ambitions!

Nie Wushuang looked at the thick autumn scenery in front of him and felt the cold autumn wind chilling his whole body. When will winter come again? It was so fast, and it caught her off guard.

"That's all, go down." Nie Wushuang waved his hand: "You will not betray him. I don't want to know any more about what he is going to do."

"The Queen..." Yang Zhi's eyes were filled with water. After three years of loyal assistance, she was suddenly driven away from him. Such a result was unexpected for him.
