CHAPTER XXII

Seeing Nangong Nuo's figure disappear into the courtyard, Mei Shuang finally sighed, she really wanted Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and she had just slandered the hateful emperor for a long time, but she didn't expect that it was actually a critical moment for him to save the field.

Who would have expected that such a dangerous situation would be so unexpectedly resolved. For the first time, Meishuang had a crush on the ruthless emperor.

Walking easily to the inner room, several maids had delicate faces, a tray for each person, silk clothes, dirty clothes, combs, and creams.

However, being watched and bathed by so many people, Meishuang was very unaccustomed to it, and waved them to disperse, only saying that she would call them over when needed.

Soaking in a steaming wooden barrel sprinkled with petals and a faint floral scent, Mei Shuang felt that every pore of her body exuded incomparable comfort. In order to prevent the wound from becoming infected, she only dared to soak her waist in it.

Looking at the half-inch-long scabbed wound under her ribs, it was inconvenient for her to be alone after all, so she called a maid to help her scrub it.

Lowering her eyes, the clear water clearly reflects Mei Shuang's beautiful face, and in the water vapor, it becomes more and more that her skin is like congealed fat, smooth and delicate, and even the maid waiting for her can't help but praise Mei Shuang's skin is as delicate as porcelain.

Such admiration made Meishuang a little fluttery. Even in modern times, she may not be able to fix her appearance with money, and she can easily have it here, not to mention others, even if she looks at it herself, it is very pleasing to the eye.

At the moment, Meishuang was in a good mood, and after wandering outside for a long time at night, now she had been soaking in this wooden barrel for half a day, and she was already sleepy, and when Meishuang climbed into bed from the wooden barrel, her head had not yet touched the pillow full of flowers, and she was already asleep

-- In the Diligent Palace.

Xiao Luo, the emperor of the Great Qin State, was staring at a fold in his hand, and his eyebrows were heavy and thoughtful. After a few thoughts, the red pen in his hand did not fall.

When he was thinking about it, he raised his eyes and saw Gonggong Li hurriedly come in and whispered, "Your Majesty, King Zhao is here." ”

As soon as Gonggong Li's words fell, Nangong Nuo had already followed into the door, and when he saw Xiao Luo in front of the dragon case, he didn't do the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, but asked lazily, "Why are you so worried?" ”

Nangong Nuo was so informal, and the idlers were already stunned by his bold and transgressive actions.

Those who know King Zhao know that this prince of the opposite sex has a perverse temperament and has always acted in his own way, except for the current queen mother, no one cares about it. Among the many princes in Gaozong's time, he was the youngest but the most unpopular among the princes. And now among the princes who are the same generation as the emperor, except for the emperor, no one treats him. Although this King Zhao is the emperor's generation and is the emperor's uncle today, the emperor is no longer the former Luo Wangye, this monarch and ministers are different, King Zhao sees the emperor and does not kneel or worship, it is a rebellion!

Although the palace attendants sweated for King Zhao's arrogance, Xiao Luo just raised his eyes and glanced at this imperial uncle with a different surname who was the same age as himself and grew up with a child, and then said lightly, "Give me a seat." ”

Nangong Nuo was not polite, after sitting down by himself, he took the teacup handed by Gonggong Li, and drank it in one go, and then said unhappily, "This midnight three watches, net disturb the king's good deeds." You, the emperor, have every opportunity, isn't this king busy? ”

"Why don't you come to me when you come back?" Xiao Luo threw down the fold in his hand, stared at the imperial uncle in front of him, and frowned slightly, "What?" Can you trust the Queen Mother, but can't you believe me? ”

Nangong Nuo put down the teacup in his hand and said disapprerovingly, "Am I not here?" ”

Xiao Luo snorted and sneered, "If it weren't for this kind of thing happening to the daughter of the Mei Mansion, you wouldn't have shown up, right?" ”

"If you are in love with her, won't I show up to add to the blockage?"

"Of course you know that I can't get married to her, and I must be afraid that I will treat her badly, so I rushed back early, how about it? Is it okay to live in Miaochun Building? ”

Miaochun Building is the first big green building in Zishuo City, the women in it are all upper-class, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are omnipotent, if someone says that the women of Miaochun Lou are ranked second, then no one dares to call the other Qinglou women in the huge Zishuo City. Miaochun Building has strict management, checks on new women at all levels, and has all kinds of etiquette. Therefore, over time, the fame is outside, and it has become the favorite place of the dignitaries and nobles in Zishuo City.

As soon as he remembered that Nangong Nuo had been in this place for a month under the guise of going to inspect, but he had almost delayed some major events, he was angry and didn't fight anywhere, "I don't know if I believe that I can afford to let go of a woman, and I am willing to degenerate like this for a woman?" ”

"Okay," Nangong Nuo dusted off the unwrinkled brocade robe, without revealing his whereabouts and being ridiculed at all, but shrugged his shoulders and said disapprovingly, "I have to say, you know me best when you get along." However, to talk about this taste, I have to ask you first, is this what it feels like to be the emperor? ”

Xiao Luo glanced at him coldly, knowing that he had already admitted defeat, and besides, this guy was extremely thick-skinned, and he would not admit his mistake. So he didn't say anything, walked to the window, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and then said lightly, "It's not as good as fighting at the border."

"In this way, are you still thinking about Chu Xiruo?" Nangong Nuo simply cocked Erlang's legs and asked.

Gonggong Li next to him looked at the emperor's face carefully, and said with a wry smile that this King Zhao really doesn't open any pot and doesn't mention which pot. This Miss Chu has long been out of nowhere, and the emperor is worried about it. Alas, just wait for the emperor to get angry.

Sure enough, Xiao Luo turned around when he heard this, his eyes were dark, and he sneered slightly, "Don't you also can't let go of the concubine of Meifu?" ”

Nangong Nuo's expression froze, and his eyebrows furrowed, "She just annoys you like this?" Don't even want to mention her name? Don't forget, how much effort she put into marrying you! You don't appreciate it at all? ”

Xiao Luo's thick eyebrows furrowed, and it was difficult to hide the disgust on his face, "What she did is really intolerable-if she asks for it, she has to accept it, so why do you dislike the woman in Miaochun Building?" ”

Nangong Nuo's neck suddenly stiffened, and he argued, "How can a mere Qinglou woman be compared to her?" Besides, she was framed and deserves to be cleared - you indiscriminately sent her to the cold palace, where she almost died! ”

"With you and the Queen Mother watching, how could she die? Weren't you there the night she committed suicide? Xiao Luo said coldly.

Nangong Nuo was a little embarrassed, it seemed that Xiao Luo had a very clear grasp of his whereabouts. However, he was still tough on his lips, "I'm just afraid that you will kill a good person by mistake, so I will watch it for you first, so as not to damage your reputation and regret it in the future."

"Okay, now that the person has returned you, it's time to talk about Xiruo, why did Xiruo provoke her, she had to put her to death?" Thinking of Chu Xiruo's disappearance, Xiao Luo couldn't hide the injustice in his heart.

"This woman's family is jealous, I won't follow the blind mixing and commenting" Seeing Xiao Luo angry, Nangong Nuo hurriedly avoided the important and lightly changed the topic, "Now that your wish has been granted, Meishuang will not appear in front of you again, I will take her away"

"What you think is beautiful, if you lose my pity, do you want to take your sweetheart away and fly away?" Xiao Luo glanced at Nangong Nuo and sneered, "This time I have fulfilled you, and you are so perfunctory?" ”

“”

After a long time, Nangong Nuo sighed, "It's not that I said you, you have only studied and studied since you were a child, and when you grow up, you can only lead soldiers to fight, although you are now the Son of Heaven, three palaces and six courts, there is no shortage of women, but you can't help but admit that you are late in the relationship between men and women." It's good if Chu Xi saved your life, but I wondered, do you really like her? The love of men and women and the reciprocation of kindness are definitely two different things. You haven't married her until now, but you know that it's impossible to marry her, so you wait every day, when will it be the end? If she doesn't come back, you won't be a widow emperor for the rest of your life? ”

"It's not your turn to preach here, if you can't find Chu Xiruo, you just wait to let your sweetheart accompany her" Xiao Luo was full of anger.

These days, for the sake of Chu Xiruo's whereabouts, he has sent many people to search for him secretly.

The Queen Mother said before that Chu Xiruo often accompanies the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, and the people he sent can't dig up the temples and nunnery in the country, but there is no trace of Chu Xiruo at all. This made him often worry about whether Chu Xiruo was no longer alive. Saying that she is a green lantern ancient Buddha is not just an excuse for the queen mother.

Hearing Xiao Luo's words, Nangong Nuo's face also changed, but Xiao Luo's anger was not for no reason, this Meishuang was indeed quite excessive. Let's not talk about this process, at least if Chu Xiruo was defeated in the Zhenguo General's Mansion, it was not without Meishuang's credit that he left the country alone.

He could only smile dryly and agree.

Xiao Luo's face eased at this time, and he said, "This matter is over here, I still have important things to discuss with you." Now that the DPRK and China are uncertain, before I returned from the border pass, the border was stable, and now the east side of the Japanese country faces each other across the sea, intending to open border trade with this DPRK, and there is a great suspicion of peeping into our DPRK. Now that there are suddenly a lot of merchants from the east in Zishuo City, I suspect that they are spying on the information of this dynasty, and the ambition of the wolf son must be guarded against."

When Xiao Luo spoke, Nangong Nuo had already gotten up and walked to the antique shelf, reached out to pick up a piece of porcelain, narrowed his peach blossom eyes, and looked at it carefully.

As if he hadn't heard Emperor Xiao Luo's words, he said to himself, "Huh? This porcelain is so beautiful, why haven't I seen it before? ”

"Don't divert the topic," Xiao Luo suddenly had a black line on his forehead.

This imperial uncle has been cunning by nature since he was a child, and he has a keen sense of smell, as long as he talks about things that are closely related to him and he is unwilling, he will be so virtuous. However, if you want to take your sweetheart away and fly away to enjoy the world of the two of you, I won't let you succeed, "I have decided, you take someone to the east to guard." Leave tomorrow. Chin this! ”

When Nangong Nuo heard this, the porcelain in his hand almost fell to the ground, he shoved the porcelain into the shelf, and said unhappily, "Your Majesty, I found that your temper is getting more and more urgent?" You said that Meishuang has been in such a hurry to be your queen all these years, am I in a hurry to become like this? It's good for you to start your journey, my family-"
