Adore Trick of Beauty

"Empress Dowager Gao?" Nie Wushuang was surprised. Comparing her with Empress Dowager Gao was an exaggerated compliment.

"Yes, Empress Dowager Gao. She entered the palace at the age of sixteen and became the queen at the age of twenty. In just five years, it took her less than five years from Jieyu who had just entered the palace to sit as the queen." The tone is flat.

"But... I'm not like Empress Dowager Gao." Nie Wushuang felt uneasy, if she didn't know Mammy Wu's ability to know people, she almost thought she was telling a joke or mocking her. But her serious attitude made her deeply confused and disturbed.

What kind of woman is Empress Dowager Gao, even if she is not from Ying country, she knows that she is a woman who is almost as powerful as Empress Dowager Lu in history books. She has dominated the harem and the government for more than ten years, and no one dares to question her majesty.

Nanny Wu smiled: "The current emperor is not the first emperor either."

She looked at the green bamboos outside the window, as if lost in memories: "The late emperor was kind, so the harem was exclusively favored by the Empress Dowager Gao for more than ten years. Although there were a few outstanding concubines in the end, the harem was already high at that time. The queen mother's world alone is hard to shake, so besides the dragon chair, there are many, many headaches that the late emperor left for the emperor."

What she said was already greatly out of line, Nie Wushuang was shocked when she heard it, and couldn't help but look at the unattractive old nanny Feng in front of her again.

Her shock was seen in Wu Mama's eyes, but she smiled: "Miss Nie, has she never heard of someone talking about the emperor like this?"

Nie Wushuang looked at her with a complicated expression, and nodded after a long time: "Yes. Wushuang has never heard someone say these words so bluntly."

The Three Obediences and Four Virtues taught her how to be filial to her parents and serve her husband since she was a child. No one has ever told her about the emperor and the court. However, vaguely, Madam Wu's words touched a delicate string deep in her heart.

If she could pay attention to the trend of the court other than her husband earlier, instead of just being a glorious Mrs. Xiangguo, would she have been able to predict the tragedy of the Nie family earlier?

Concealing the turmoil in his heart, Nie Wushuang sighed after a long time: "The harem is just a small court, and Wushuang has been taught today!"

That's the end of the topic. Nanny Wu didn't mention this anymore. But this rebellious conversation made Nie Wushuang think deeply about all the secrets in the palace that Madam Wu had revealed to her.

One day, Nie Wushuang was talking with Nanny Wu when Xia Lan came in suddenly: "Girl, the prince has invited you, and he said that an old friend is here."

"Old friend?" Nie Wushuang frowned and asked, "Who is it?" She didn't have any relatives or friends in Ying Country, and she didn't know anyone.

"Your servant doesn't know either. Girl, let's go and have a look." Xia Lan persuaded.

Nie Wushuang had doubts in his heart, so he followed Xia Lan after a little freshening up. After a while, they came to the flower hall. In the hall, Xiao Fengqing was talking with a man in a black dress sitting on the seat.

Nie Wushuang suddenly stopped in his tracks. When the two people in the hall heard the voice, they turned their heads, and the man in black clothes suddenly turned his head too.

Everything seemed to have stopped, Nie Wushuang only felt a "buzz" in his mind, something hit his mind, and it suddenly became extremely blank.

"Shuang'er..." The man suddenly choked up his sobs, stretched out his hand to her, but suddenly burst into tears. He cried, and the clanking seven-foot man, Nie Minghu, the ever-victorious general who bleeds but never shed tears on the battlefield, cried!

"Big...Brother!" Nie Wushuang was trembling all over, and walked towards him step by step, with tears in her eyes, she tried her best to recognize the pale and thin face in front of her.

Yes, it's Big Brother! Really big brother! She staggered a step, and couldn't hold back anymore and rushed over: "Big brother! Big brother!...Daddy is dead, second brother, little brother..."

She had never cried so heart-piercingly, as if the blocked embankment finally couldn't bear it, and collapsed thousands of miles away. After an unknown amount of time, Nie Wushuang wiped away his tears and asked in a hoarse voice, "How did Big Brother get here?"

After all, Nie Minghu is a man with a firm heart. After grief, he calmed down: "Prince Rui sent someone to Qin to find me, and I received your blood book jade pendant...Little sister...you..."

He asked with his eyes, and Nie Wushuang turned around, only to find that the hall was already empty. It turned out that Xiao Fengqing and the servants had already retreated completely when their brother and sister were hugging each other and crying.

In the empty hall, only the sobs of the brother and sister were choked up after the catastrophe.

"I, Gu Qinghong imprisoned me in the firewood room one month before the accident in our family, so that I couldn't learn about my father...I..." Nie Wushuang suddenly didn't know how to describe what happened to him, how Gu Qinghong treated himself , and how did he make it all the way to Ying Country, and fell under the protection of Prince Rui Xiao Fengqing.

"Gu Qinghong!" Nie Minghu's face was frighteningly livid, and the killing spirit tempered on the battlefield was undoubtedly revealed. Nie Wushuang was taken aback, she had never seen her elder brother so furious.

"Our Nie family was harmed by this despicable and shameless villain!" Nie Minghu slapped the table with his palm, and the fine sour branch pear wood suddenly cracked a crack.

"If it wasn't for him, how could he be the one who supervised the beheading!? He can stand it! There are more than a hundred members of our Nie family..."

Nie Minghu couldn't continue, his eyes were tearing apart. Nie Wushuang's heart skipped a beat. She had thought about this possibility. Only in this way could she explain why Gu Qinghong imprisoned himself beforehand, and why he had a successful official career in the past three years. If it wasn't for the emperor's acquiescence, how could he bring down the Nie family?

The three departments interrogated, ransacked the family and exterminated the family, what role he, Gu Qinghong, played in it, she knew after thinking about it.

But the only thing that puzzled her was, why did he do this? If it is for fame and fortune, with his talent and the support of his father Nie Weicheng, he will have it soon, and there is no need to betray and frame the Nie family?

Why? ... The more Nie Wushuang thought about it, the more pain he felt in his heart, the more pain he felt, the more he hated him, hated Gu Qinghong, and hated himself more.

She knelt down in front of her eldest brother slowly, and said word by word: "Brother, in short, I was the one who harmed the Nie family, my father, you and my second brother, little brother...I..."

She couldn't go on anymore, Nie Minghu sighed: "Things have become like this, it's useless to say more. That's all..."

Just one sentence made Nie Wushuang's heart skip a beat. She had never heard such a decadent and dejected tone from her elder brother. She looked up at her elder brother seriously. In addition to the dusty face, she suddenly saw something wrong.

Suddenly her eyes shrank suddenly, she stood up and tore off Nie Minghu's shirt, and said in a broken voice, "Brother, are you injured!?"

The clothes were torn off, and Nie Minghu had a bandage oozing black blood on his chest, and there was still a bit of stench in the bloody smell.

"This..." She opened her eyes wide, and her eyes were full of panic. If her eyes were not mistaken, she was poisoned!

Nie Minghu smiled wryly: "When something happened to Nie's family, I was patrolling outside the pass. The father-in-law who came to deliver the decree had just arrived, and a group of thieves from outside the pass had also arrived. When I was halfway back from suppressing the bandits, suddenly my deputy came to follow me I said that he overheard Chuanzhi Gonggong's entourage talking about an accident in the Nie family in Jingzhong, and the emperor was about to take me to Jingzhong to be beheaded together."

"I ran away overnight, and was finally caught up again. I was defeated by an arrow in a bloody battle. The despicable king of Qi was afraid that I would escape, and the arrow was poisoned. I thought I was bound to die. In the end, Lieutenant General Li led more than two hundred people. People came to help me break out of the siege... I fled to Qin State with injuries, and was finally captured by Qin State soldiers. Later, as you know, Qin State called for my safety, and Prince Rui sent people to find me and persuade me to go to Yingying. Guo, when I was hesitating, he sent someone to send you your blood book jade pendant, God is so pitiful, I thought our Nie family had already died under the sword of the faint king, but I didn't expect you to be still alive... So I Then he escaped from Qin country following Prince Rui's arrangement."

Nie Minghu said it plainly, but Nie Wushuang knew that the truth must be a thousand times more dangerous than what he said. It can be said that he was able to come here today, which is already close to death.

"Then this poison?" Nie Wushuang hurriedly asked, his palms were already in cold sweat. If the poisoned arrow was poisoned a few months ago, it is still not healed today, which means that his injury has...

"It's useless, this poison...the doctor said that it has penetrated into the internal organs, little sister, maybe I will follow daddy and the others soon..." Nie Minghu looked sad.

Nie Wushuang just felt that a large basin of cold water was suddenly poured on her head. She opened her eyes wide and shook her head in a daze: "No, no...it won't be like this! Brother...no, it won't be like this."

She ran out suddenly: "Brother, I won't let you die!"

"Little sister! Shuang'er..." Nie Minghu's shout came from behind, but Nie Wushuang turned a deaf ear to it, and ran out of the hall like flying, towards Xiao Fengqing's study.

After a while, she came to his study, panting. Xiao Fengqing was lazily resting on the chair, and there was a beautiful maid beside him serving tea and water for him.

Nie Wushuang stared straight at his face: "What should I do about my elder brother's injury?"

Xiao Fengqing opened her long and narrow phoenix eyes, glanced at her, and waved the servant girl back: "Is this your begging attitude?"

"What should I do about my elder brother's injury?" Nie Wushuang trembling all over, stepped forward and grabbed the hem of his clothes, his lips trembling: "Is it because his injury is incurable, so Qin Guo is willing to let him escape to Ying country? "

She found it strange that Qin State and Ying State had always been feuds. If it wasn't for her elder brother's serious injuries and no use value at all, how could Qin Guo allow him to escape to Ying country?

Xiao Fengqing glanced at her, with a half-smile: "So what if you are, so what if you are not?"

This heartless man is still talking jokes at this time!

Nie Wushuang could only feel an uncontrollable anger welling up in his heart, and with a wave of his plain hand, he was about to slap him hard on his handsome face. Xiao Fengqing raised her hand and grabbed her hand easily, with a cold smile in her phoenix eyes: "Nie Wushuang, you have to understand that today you are here to beg my king!"

Nie Wushuang laughed back angrily: "Yes, I'm here to beg the prince, but don't forget the prince, my eldest brother is a talent, a rare talent that the emperor wants, if he dies, how can you carry out your plan! "

Xiao Fengqing's eyes narrowed suddenly: "Are you threatening me?"

He stood up slowly, his eyes were cold and murderous. Nie Wushuang stared into his eyes without flinching: "I'm negotiating terms with the prince! If you cure my elder brother, we will both benefit!"

"So I finally asked the prince, what should I do about my elder brother's injury?"

After a long silence, Xiao Fengqing let go of her hand coldly: "Your elder brother's 'Celler Demon' is a chronic poison. At the beginning, the whole body is weak, and in the end it will slowly fester all over the body, first from the internal organs, and finally to the skin. You Brother has hurt his spleen and stomach now."

Nie Wushuang just felt that his heart was pinched by cold hands and he couldn't breathe.

"What about the antidote?" she asked tremblingly.

"The antidote is still being formulated. I have been preparing the antidote since I first contacted your elder brother, and the last medicine is still missing." Xiao Fengqing rubbed her forehead, frowned, and said, "In the palace."

"What do you mean?" Nie Wushuang's eyes flashed with hope.

"The 'Yu Chan' that cures all poisons." Xiao Fengqing said slowly. \u003c

/p\u003e

"Go to the emperor, or...or..." Nie Wushuang was in a state of confusion, and all the calmness she was proud of was gone. Big Brother later gave her such a heavy blow.

Her panic and helplessness fell into his eyes, Xiao Fengqing's eyes softened slightly, and he stepped forward to hug her: "Don't be afraid, your elder brother will be saved."

Nie Wushuang grabbed his hand suddenly: "When can I see the emperor?"

She looked into his eyes: "Aren't you going to give me to the emperor? I will ask him then, no matter what, I will definitely get that 'Jade Chan'!"

"Pa!" With a loud sound, Nie Wushuang only felt hot on his face, and was immediately slapped and fell to the ground.

She covered her hot face and looked at Xiao Fengqing who was standing under the sky, but covered with frost all over her body. He looked at her grimly: "What's the difference between you and the girls in the brothel! Go back to 'Diancuiju' and reflect on it!"

Nie Wushuang struggled to stand up, turned his head and left.

Arriving at "Diancuiju", Madam Wu came forward to meet her, and when she saw the slap marks on her pale face, she frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

Nie Wushuang calmed down, squeezed the cold handkerchief Xia Lan handed over and applied it to the red and swollen area of ​​his face, and told the story: "I don't blame the prince, if I care about it, it will cause chaos."

Nanny Wu nodded: "The current emperor is thirsty for talent, and your elder brother will be fine."

"I hope so." Nie Wushuang closed his eyes and said dumbly, "Heaven can't be so unfair!"

...

Nie Minghu was arranged to live in the east courtyard of the other courtyard, and there were special staff to take care of food and daily life. Even so, Nie Wushuang cooks by herself every day, and poisoning taboos cold and meaty food. She tried her best not to add anything he couldn't eat. The three meals were like this, and Nie Minghu saw her working hard, and persuaded: "Little sister, you don't have to do this, I know my body myself."

"Brother!" Nie Wushuang interrupted him, looking at him firmly: "As long as you live, you have the hope of revenge! Even if it's not for revenge, I don't want brother to die like this!"

Her eyes were piercing, and Nie Minghu, who had been on the battlefield for many years, couldn't help being shocked by the dazzling look inside.

After a while, he said silently: "Brother promises you, try to live as long as possible."

Nie Wushuang's eyes welled up, and he could finally hear him give her a decent promise in the past few days. She knew how difficult it was for him, fleeing from Qi State to Qin State, and then traveling thousands of miles from Qin State to Ying State, traveling thousands of miles back and forth with injuries, if he hadn't held on to it in his heart, how could he have survived to this day?

The poison had hurt his spleen and stomach, and every time she served food, he would always eat it with a smile, but when she turned around, she saw him vomit it all in a place where no one was around several times, with black blood in the food.

Big Brother couldn't hold on any longer.

She understands this fact better than he does.

In the scorching summer, there was an inexplicable uneasiness surging in the other courtyard. Xiao Fengqing lived for a few days, and then returned to the capital to find a way out of the antidote. All of Nie Wushuang's attention was on Nie Minghu.

On this day, she was brewing medicine when suddenly someone was making noise in the backyard garden. She didn't want to pay attention at first, but suddenly heard a high-pitched voice: "Who are you! Get the hell out of here!"

The delicate voice was very familiar. After Nie Wushuang carefully identified it, he called Xia Lan to watch the fire, and hurried to the backyard to have a look.

In the backyard garden, she saw her eldest brother Nie Minghu sitting on a recliner under the shade of a tree, and beside her was Princess Yunle in purple.

She kicked the deck chair under him angrily: "Get up, princess, my paper kite fell on the tree again!"

On a day in June, Nie Minghu was wearing thick clothes because of his weak body, and his handsome face was pale. He looked at Princess Yunle in front of him coldly and said lightly: "Didn't the princess see that Cao Min is weak and can't leave?"

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes again, but he ignored it. Nie Wushuang knew that her elder brother was arrogant and arrogant, and when provoked by such a savage and willful little princess, he lost his temper.

Just as she was about to step forward, Princess Yun Le kicked his reclining chair again in anger: "Since you know that I am a princess, why don't you hurry up and get out! Otherwise, this princess will have your head chopped off!"

"What else can the princess be upset about other than chopping off other people's heads?" Nie Minghu snorted coldly: "Unruly and self-willed! It's clearly a little girl's film!"

"You, you!..." Princess Yunle has been pampered like a peerless treasure since she was a child, and even the emperor's mischief towards her is also kind and pleasant. She has never been wronged. Today, seeing Nie Minghu actually calling her a little girl, she shouted angrily: "You sick bastard, you have to move if you don't move today! Someone! Someone!"

Seeing that Nie Wushuang was about to fall into a stalemate, and was about to step forward, Nie Minghu suddenly opened his eyes, his dark eyes were as cold as ice: "Who are you talking about as a sick child?!"

"It's you! Sick man! Sick man!" Princess Yun Le yelled at him with a cannon, and then stuck out her pink tongue at him childishly and made a grimace.

Nie Minghu was originally angry, but when he saw her so childish, he couldn't help laughing "puchi". The Nie family was born very well, especially Nie Minghu. Apart from Nie Wushuang, his appearance is the most similar to Mrs. Nie among the three brothers. His appearance is feminine and handsome, and he is known as the "Jade Face Shura" on the battlefield.

When he smiled, the dark clouds on his originally ashen face seemed to have cleared away, and the sky shone brightly, making him very handsome. Princess Yun Le wanted to scold him again, but when she suddenly saw him laughing, she was stunned.

"Okay, don't you just want to pick up the paper kite? I'll pick it up for you." Nie Minghu bent down and picked up a stone from the ground.

Son, clasp your fingers lightly.

With a "click", the branch was broken, and the paper kite flew down leisurely.

"Here, here is your paper kite." Nie Minghu picked up the paper kite beside him and handed it to her, with a slight smile in his eyes: "The princess doesn't blame the grass people for being unable to salute, the grass people will be grateful."

Princess Yunle came back to her senses, took the paper kite in a hurry, looked into his smiling eyes, stomped her feet, and ran away shyly.

Nie Wushuang was hiding around the corner, and just as this scene fell into her eyes, she suddenly felt concerned. She waited for Princess Yunle to run away before walking to Nie Minghu's side.

"Who was that person just now?" She asked with a deliberate smile.

"It's a picture of a little girl, and it's said to be a princess." Nie Minghu smiled palely: "Is the medicine ready?"

Nie Wushuang felt a pain in his heart, forced a smile and said: "It's not over yet, my little sister came over to take a look when she heard the voice, you know she is a princess and you are still deliberately angry with her?"

Nie Minghu smiled and was about to say something when he suddenly coughed heavily. Nie Wushuang hurriedly brushed his back, Nie Minghu coughed for a long time, Nie Wushuang hurriedly gave him the handkerchief, when suddenly his hand got wet, and it turned out to be blood from the handkerchief.

"Brother..." She looked at the bloody handkerchief in her hand, and her hand gradually trembled.

"Yes, it's fine. It will be fine. I... I'll go get the medicine." Nie Wushuang wanted to comfort him with a smile, but tears rolled down his face. The poison had spread to his lungs.

Cicada on the tree screamed desperately, "Zhiga-zhizhi-", Nie Wushuang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and he couldn't drag it any longer...
