CHAPTER XIV

While speaking, Nangong Nuo's favorite concubine Zhu Bi twisted the waist of the water snake and greeted him with a smile.

The charcoal fire was blazing in the palace, and a crimson tulle robe was on Zhu Bi's fragrant shoulders, barely covering the snow-white of his chest. On the fair-skinned melon seed face, the facial features are soft, especially the eyes under the willow leaf bent eyebrows are like a pool of spring water, full of charm.

Nangong Nuo didn't step forward with a smile and pinch her delicate face as usual, and then talk to her again, and walked to the table alone at the moment and sat down. The eyebrows frowned slightly, his expression was solemn, and he seemed to be still contemplating.

When Zhu Bi saw Nangong Nuo's demeanor like this, she was puzzled, but she didn't dare to disturb rashly.

Thinking about it, there is only one person who can make Nangong Nuo so attentive, and coupled with the recent rumors in the palace, it is understandable.

This king of Zhao, who has always seen the beginning and the end and acted unreasonably, has disappeared for nearly two months in the name of inspecting the states, needless to say, it is also to avoid the woman's wedding.

And according to the itinerary, he should have come back at least in February. It's only been half of the month, and he can't wait to return. is so fast, it is indispensable to travel day and night on the road, hmph, this is not for that woman!

Seeing Nangong Nuo, who had always been smiling and not half serious, was thoughtful at the moment, Zhu Bi's heart was full of loss and indescribable feelings.

Suppressing the jealousy in her heart, she asked the maid to bring the teacup, took it and gently placed it in front of Nangong Nuo, while gently pinching Nangong Nuo's shoulder, while blowing in his ear like Lan Jiao dripping, "The prince is not here these days, so I want to call the concubine." Look, this is the snow cui tea prepared by the concubine as the prince, the prince should try it."

Nangong Nuo was stunned, and it took a while for him to come back to his senses from his contemplation.

Holding the teacup in one hand and slowly plucking the emerald green tea leaves that were floating on the surface, he glanced at Zhu Bi beside him, and said lazily, "In these days when this king is away, is there anything going on in this palace?" ”

Zhu Bixin said that this was not a knowingly question, but her mouth was soft and coquettish, "It's not that the prince doesn't know, the concubine has always lived in a simple place, and I haven't heard of this big thing." However, a few days ago, the concubine heard that the queen mother sent someone to the house, and asked when the prince would return, if the prince returned, she must go to the palace to see the queen mother immediately. ”

Nangong Nuo nodded, his eyes swept over Zhu Bi, and after taking a sip of tea, he said casually, "Really?" When he came back, the king went to visit the cold palace."

"Cold Palace?" Zhu Bi was surprised and covered her mouth and shouted, and said hurriedly, "Lord Wang, when is this, you still don't know how to avoid suspicion!" Now that Sensei said that the emperor is the emperor, everyone who knows about this thinks that between you and Miss Frost - well, you go to see her again at this time, if you are seen, how can this be explained?"

Nangong Nuo stared at Zhu Bi, his eyes turned cold, "Don't you know nothing?" ”

Zhu Bi suddenly felt that he was speechless, and hurriedly stopped, lowered his head and wrung the handkerchief with both hands while looking at Nangong Nuo's face, and explained in a low voice, "The concubine is also, and it is also for the sake of the prince-"

"Bastard!" Nangong Nuo's face was as pale as frost, and he threw the tea cup in his hand on the table, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, shooting out a sharp edge like a sword, "Zhu Bi, don't rely on the favor of this king to be delusional and try to be clever in front of this king!" ”

Zhu Bi was frightened, and hurriedly went around to Nangong Nuo and knelt down, "Lord Wang, you areβ€”"

"This king asks you, what happened to those letters in Weiyang Palace on the day of Meishuang's wedding! If there is half a nonsense today, this king will directly throw you into the Mile Palace, hum, those dragon pythons haven't been fed enough for some days."

Zhu Bi's face was suddenly shocked, and she hurriedly kowtowed like pounding garlic, but her mouth was trying her best to shout injustice, "Ah, wronged, prince, the concubine really doesn't know what the letter of Weiyang Palace is."

"Okay," Nangong Nuo stared at Zhu Bi, whose eyes were flickering and her face was forced to be calm, instead of being angry, she leaned forward slightly, stretched out her index finger and gently rubbed it on her snow-white chest, "This king remembers that when I met you in the Qinglou, you said that you once had a cousin who waited in front of Mei Ru, the second lady of the Mei Mansion. Is there such a thing? ”

Zhu Bi's heart was beating like a drum and nodded.

"Well, this king asks you, where did that cousin of yours end up? Well? ”

Zhu Bi's face was pale, and in Nangong Nuorudao's eyes, she only felt that the original tickling friction on her chest was now like countless ants crawling, which provoked her to stand on end, she gritted her teeth and said, "The concubine and her cousin have little contact, but I heard that the cousin was driven out of the Mei Mansion by the second lady because of a mistake, and the concubine didn't know where she went-but I don't know why the prince asked?" ”

"Really?" Nangong Nuo's fingers paused, and his nose snorted slightly, "You are outside the king, so you are deaf?" The privacy of this king exposed by those letters in Weiyang Palace, if it weren't for the people around Miss Shuang, how could they know so clearly? That's all, what this king wants to know is that this kind of framing has anything to do with the second lady of Meifu, the current queen? ”

Zhu Bi's eyes were dark, and she almost fainted, her eyes straightened and then she shook her head in a panic, and said incoherently, "No! The concubine body definitely doesn't mean to harm Miss Frost! The concubine body just admires the prince and is willing to be the prince's concubine, and the concubine has never had any thoughts! ”

"Hehe," Nangong Nuo raised the corners of his lips slightly, moved his index finger to Zhu Bi's sharp chin, aimed at her face, and his voice was as cold as iron, "It's up to you?" Say what willingly? You deserve it too! This king favors you, you should be self-aware, and you still want to be the king's concubine? Bite off more than one can chew!! You have a nest of snakes and rats, but it's a good idea to fight. After killing Meishuang, Meifu will no longer have a concubine, and Meiru can become a country in a down-to-earth manner, what about you? Don't mention that little bit of dirty thoughts; It's really a lot of killings, killing three birds with one stone! ”

Staring at Zhu Bi's pale face as white as snow, Nangong Nuo suddenly chuckled, "How is it?" This king is right, right? It's really embarrassing for you, you started planning this matter so early, and you played with this king in the palm of your hand, aren't you very proud? ”

Zhu Bi stared at Nangong Nuo, her breathing gradually became short, her nose fluttered, her big eyes were full of tears, and she choked up, "Lord Wang, even if the concubine is at fault, it is for the sake of the prince." The prince is noble, and the concubine has always admired the prince, but the concubine knows her identity and does not dare to climb the prince, and it is a blessing for the concubine to be able to wait by the prince's side. But the prince dotes on the concubine, but only because the concubine's face is like Miss Frost. Although the concubine was born in a green building, she also has self-esteem, and the concubine doesn't want to be a stand-in for her."

In the end, Zhu Bi burst into tears and couldn't cry.

"Hehe, okay, the rhetoric is so beautiful that it makes this king's heart soften" Nangong Nuo stroked his palms and smiled, "Zhu Bi, this king is too lazy to talk nonsense with you." You're right. Looks like Miss Frost, that's your blessing. It's just that you may have forgotten that this king has said a long time ago that whoever dares to move Miss Shuang's mind will want her life! ”
