Adore Trick of Beauty

The spring of the third year of Wude is destined to leave an uneasy mark in the history books of Yingguo. Xiao Fengming, who has always been diligent in government affairs, stopped attending court and did not see the courtiers. This is a strange thing on weekdays, not to mention that when Qi Ying's battle situation is at a critical stage, it is even more puzzling.

The emperor did not see his courtiers, and the queen Nie Wushuang, who was deep in the palace, also said that she was ill and could not see her concubines, so all the affairs of the harem were left to the concubine Jing. Chenghua Palace has become a place where the upper and lower parts of the palace gradually become confused.

The spring rain was pouring, and Nie Wushuang stood in front of the window, watching the thousands of raindrops. The palace maid quietly stepped forward, put a soft fox fur cloak on her, and whispered: "Queen, please be careful not to catch a cold."

Nie Wushuang didn't look back and folded his fox fur in silence. In this Chenghua Palace, everyone was careful with her, for fear of getting bumped, and took great care of her. But such trepidation was like a thick blanket covering her so tightly that she couldn't break free, and it easily destroyed the few hopes she had in front of her.

The guards outside Chenghua Palace stood around like iron barrels.

This is a place where only birds can enter and exit.

This is not a cold palace, but it is more despairing than a cold palace.

All she did every day was to open her eyes and wait for dark, and then wait from dark to dawn. Play chess with yourself, be alone with your shadow. The face in the bronze mirror is vague, but the heart is old.

She didn't know how long she had to wait, or how long she could wait. I wait day by day, but I don’t know what I am waiting for. Such despair drowned her like stagnant water...

She looked at the cold rain outside the window and fell into a trance of thought.

The spring rain had wiped out all her beliefs. The first man in her life raised a butcher knife in a blink of an eye, and her eyes were so bloody that she was willing to become a demon. The oath has not yet been fulfilled, and five years later, she made the same mistake again, but this time, she no longer had the unyielding pride of the past, and no hope of starting over again...

She looked at the soft white palm and slowly tightened it. She had actually caused the evil in this hand...

She suddenly chuckled, her eyes gleaming with water as she laughed, which made the palace maid on the side look horrified. She was about to step forward to ask, when suddenly, a chamberlain came in hurriedly, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty... The Queen, I would like to respectfully ask for an audience with you."

ask to see? How ridiculous? What qualifications does she have now to allow anyone to come to see him?

Nie Wushuang stopped laughing, looked at him, and asked, "Can she come into Chenghua Palace?"

I have to be surprised that no one has dared to enter Chenghua Palace, and no one can enter. There is only one possibility for Concubine Jing's request for an audience, and that is Xiao Fengming's acquiescence.

The chamberlain was slightly embarrassed: "My dear concubine, I have the emperor's oral instructions. I promise to see you."

Xu Jian... these were his exact words. She could almost imagine the indifference with which he said these words, and the tears suddenly rolled down from his eyes. She had not cried for several days, but she couldn't help but shed tears when she heard his words. It turned out that she was already so humble, and so humble. Dust, I just wish I could hear a word he said with my own ears.

"Xuan——" She turned around suddenly, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said calmly.

…

Concubine Jing walked into the Chenghua Hall with fear. This was not the first time she had entered this place, but it was the first time that she felt chills all over her body. The luxurious furnishings inside were still the same, but all the palace residents were so unfamiliar that they were difficult to recognize. She almost suspected that she had gone to the wrong place.

She was trembling in her heart, but she tried her best to remain calm on her face. It wasn't until she saw Xi Qingcheng's figure standing in front of the window that she breathed a sigh of relief.

The figure became much thinner and lonely, as if she had been standing in front of the window for a long time, just waiting for someone to call her.

Concubine Jing felt depressed, knelt down and said, "Concubine...see the Queen."

Nie Wushuang slowly turned his head and looked at her. Sighing softly: "What are you doing here?"

She stepped forward to help Concubine Jing and said just one sentence, Concubine Jing's face already had a sad look on her face: "I come to see the Queen."

Nie Wushuang watched her cry and smiled faintly: "Why are you crying, Concubine Jing? I am fine..."

Yun Danfengqing's words made people feel sad for no reason. Concubine Jing cried more and more urgently: "What's so good! Why should the queen lie to others! There are so many guards outside Chenghua Palace..."

She wanted to say more, but her lips felt cold. Nie Wushuang covered her lips to prevent her from saying another word.

Concubine Jing looked at her and shook her head slowly, she could only shed tears and changed the subject: "How is your food, my queen? Will it be cold at night?..."

Every time she asked, Nie Wushuang patiently said: "Okay. Everything is okay."

At the end of her speech, she was at a loss for words and could only wipe her tears secretly.

Nie Wushuang looked at Concubine Jing and sighed softly: "Today I, Nie Wushuang, my sister, Concubine Jing, came to visit. I have no regrets in my heart. Sister, please go back."

After she said that, she pushed away Concubine Jing's hand, with a complicated expression in her beautiful eyes: "I can't protect myself, and I can't drag you down any more."

Concubine Jing looked at her speechlessly. She had thousands of words in her mind, but she didn't know how to say them. For a long time, her lips trembled: "Whether you believe it or not, I'm just here today to visit my close friends. Don't mention any further complications!"

Nie Wushuang was startled. She had never known that Concubine Jing, who had always protected herself, would come forward at this moment, willing to risk being implicated, just to see if she was okay.

Her cold heart gradually warmed up, and a little bit of warm blood gradually flowed. Finally there is someone who is willing to treat her sincerely.

Seeing her eyes turn warm, Concubine Jing held her hand and comforted her with tears: "I don't know what you have committed, but I know it will be difficult to be kind this time, otherwise the emperor would not be like this... If you really You treat me as your sister. Today you must listen to my advice. There is nothing in this world that is too difficult to pass.

Once you get over the hurdle, it's a different world. "

Her words were broken. Nie Wu's eyes gradually became watery, and his vision gradually became misty. On that rainy night five years ago, there was also a pair of warm hands holding her cold hands, nagging her.

"Girl, in this life, it is better to die than to live..."

Things in the world are so repetitive and coincidental that I don’t know how to express them.

Her tears finally rolled down, drop by drop, on Concubine Jing's hands. She looked at Concubine Jing with tears streaming down her face: "Sister, you don't understand, this time, there is really nothing we can do."

"This is the sin I have committed, and this is the retribution I deserve..."

"You don't understand, this time, there really won't be another world..."

Concubine Jing was deeply shocked by her despair.

Nie Wushuang half-hidden her face and pushed her away: "Sister, please go. Take good care of the eldest prince. If you don't care about yourself, you should also care about your child's future. For an ominous person like me, you'd better not see him again."

After saying that, she turned around and walked into the inner hall, and said calmly to the palace attendants: "Send you to your concubine!"

Concubine Jing looked at her disappearing figure and finally left sadly.

…

Days passed, and finally a good news came from Qixia Pass. Nie Minghu launched a surprise attack on the Qi army at night and retreated a hundred miles in one fell swoop!

Qixia Pass was temporarily saved. All the courtiers in the Yingguo court finally breathed a sigh of relief. But Xiao Fengming still did not resume the early court. It seemed like overnight, everything was no longer something he wanted to care about.

Nie Minghu repulsed the Qi army, and the war in the Congjiang area changed a little more. The armies of the two countries are attacking and defending each other. The outcome is unclear and the way forward is uncertain. No one knows where this battle will go.

In this strange atmosphere, the courtiers of Ying State began to hear vague rumors. Finally, they seemed to wake up and gradually turned their attention to Xiao Fengqing, the general who claimed to be ill in the palace. It was like a noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and all the dull eyes suddenly turned to the center of the noisy silence.

The war between Yingguo and Qiguo was so tense, why did he claim to be ill and could not come out? And why didn’t the emperor say anything? Shouldn't Xiao Fengqing, who had conquered Qin, be sent?

Obscure and indistinguishable rumors are generally transmitted instantly in a strange way, and everyone tacitly speculates on the inner story. Until, news came from the palace that had been delayed for a long time: Queen Nie was imprisoned in Chenghua Palace!

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and all the key points that could not be understood were solved one after another by this news. Various speculations began to grow like weeds in every corner of Yingjing.

Rumors, rumors... No one in Yingjing was secretly talking about it. The invisible rumors are like the tide, one wave higher than the other, and after a day, there are several more versions. The courtiers were at home with nothing to do, smelling something different and ominous in this delicate situation.

Just when they were panicking, one morning in early spring, a thousand-mile urgent battle report was speeding down Zhuque Street in the starry night. The horse was running so fast that it was foaming at the mouth and almost losing its strength. The soldier who delivered the message almost fainted on his horse.

The horse stopped in front of the palace gate, and the soldier who delivered the message rolled off his horse. He gasped and said one sentence to the guards who came over: "Qin, Yelu Tu, lead the remnants of Qin to counterattack...!"
