Adore Trick of Beauty

In the early morning, the mist is hazy, and the palaces and pavilions seem to be misty in the clouds, becoming more and more mysterious. Several carriages with ordinary decorations slowly drove out from the red gate. Nie Wushuang lifted the curtains and watched the majestic palace behind him gradually shrinking and finally disappearing from sight. Then let go of the curtain.

"Mother, please be at ease. This time I will be blessed by the Lord Buddha and turn every bad thing into good luck!" Xia Lan couldn't help but persuade her when she saw that she was depressed.

Nie Wushuang sighed. At this moment, he felt that his whole body was sore and he had done everything he had to do. Everything from now on can only be left to fate.

"How long does it take to get to Donglin Temple?" Nie Wushuang asked.

"Two days, you can go to the post house at sunset today. You can go to Donglin Temple tomorrow evening." Mingqiu replied.

Nie Wushuang's heart was still heavy. Although she was in the deep palace, the rumors had never stopped since the day she entered the palace. There were all kinds of rumors, and there were more talks about her and her brother's life experience, so that she lost her mind in front of this new rumor. Be alert. But this rumor did not spread from the palace, but from outside the palace. They distorted the rumor by using natural disasters and tied her to the stone pillar of the witch. It left her completely defenseless.

Who is so cruel that he wants to put her to death? ! Nie Wushuang frowned, thinking hard.

The wheels were rolling, and we finally arrived at the post house ten miles north of Beijing at sunset. The post house was built very spacious and grand because it was close to the imperial capital. It can almost be regarded as a small palace. Every autumn when the emperor leaves the palace, it is already evening and he can just rest for a night.

Nie Wushuang got off the carriage, feeling dizzy from the fatigue of the day. The director of the post came to greet them personally and quickly led the group of them into the prepared courtyard. The courtyard was quiet and quiet, without the invisible dullness and depression in the palace. Nie Wushuang felt that his depressed mind was lifted.

While having dinner, there was a sudden noise in the front yard. Nie Wushuang thought it was officials who were leaving the capital. Unexpectedly, after a while, the postmaster came to report: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao Zhen, the commander of the Xiaoqi Camp, is here. Come and ask for an audience. Feng"

Nie Wushuang was confused. After much thought, he didn't know who Zhao Zhen was. She thought for a while: "Then please invite Mr. Zhao."

The imperial concubine was not allowed to see foreign ministers easily, so Xia Lan and Ming Qiu lowered the thin bamboo curtain in front of her before letting Zhao Zhen in.

Zhao Zhen came in and knelt down on one knee: "Wei minister pays homage to the empress."

Nie Wushuang looked him up and down. Zhao Zhen had the appearance of a majestic military general with a strong back and a broad mouth. She praised secretly in her heart and asked softly: "Master Zhao, please get up. Do you have anything to see me about?"

Zhao Zhen stood up and said, "When I go back to your Majesty, I will go to change the defense and see your Majesty's car driving here. I heard that there are bandits making trouble thirty miles away, so I am bold and want to ask you to escort your Majesty all the way to Donglin Temple."

Nie Wushuang was slightly startled when she heard the words: "Bandits? Have you never heard that bandits are causing trouble in this area?" She wanted to say more, but suddenly saw the tiger head embroidered on Zhao Zhen's belt, and couldn't help but ask: "I heard that Lord Zhao is Who does the commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion belong to?"

Zhao Zhen replied respectfully: "The last general is under the command of General Sun Miao."

Nie Wushuang didn't know who General Sun Miao was, and naturally he didn't know who sent Zhao Zhen here. Just want to refuse. Zhao Zhen suddenly took a few steps forward and said softly: "His Royal Highness Prince Rui asked General Mo to tell you something. Prince Rui said, with the blessing of the Buddha, the rumors will naturally be self-defeating. Please take care, my empress!"

Nie Wushuang was shocked and couldn't help but stare at him across the curtain. The thoughts in my heart were turning over and over again, feeling frightened and warm at the same time. After a long while, she sighed: "I understand. Thank you, Commander Zhao."

Zhao Zhen retreated, while Nie Wushuang was still in a trance. It was Xiao Fengqing who wanted to remind her to leave the palace to avoid trouble that day, and now he is trying every possible means to send someone to escort her to Donglin Temple. Could it be that someone really wants to harm her along the way?

It's useless to think about something you can't figure out. Nie Wushuang put aside his worries and simply had a good sleep.

Early the next morning, Nie Wushuang got up. Zhao Zhen had already arranged everything and was waiting outside the post house with strong troops. Nie Wushuang had breakfast and followed Zhao Zhen on the road.

There are about thirty people in the Xiaoqi camp. All of them have strong horses, clear armor, and move quickly. With them opening the way in front, the road seems to be much faster. Nie Wushuang sighed slightly when he saw the dozen or so imperial guards brought out from the palace behind him. If he really wanted to attack her outside the palace, these dozen or so imperial guards would be really vulnerable.

The group of people walked to Luomapo. The terrain of Luomapo is difficult. Although the road has been repaired several times, it is still densely forested and the road is rugged and difficult to navigate.

"My Lady, the mountain road is difficult to travel. There was a heavy rain a few days ago and the rocks rolled down. I'm afraid my Lady will have to abandon the car and walk to the front section." Zhao Zhen rode over to report.

Nie Wushuang got out of the car, with Xia Lan and Ming Qiu protecting her. Zhao Zhen suddenly saw Nie Wushuang and was slightly startled. Today, Nie Wushuang wore a silver-edged, wide-sleeved, ruffled palace dress. Her slender waist was not too tight to hold, and her stunning face was like a flower that suddenly bloomed in the mountains, which was surprising.

She was a palace concubine. Zhao Zhen did not dare to look any further. He quickly turned away and dismounted and said, "If you don't mind, you can ride on the general's horse."

Nie Wushuang looked at Zhao Zhen's tall horse and felt his scalp numb. Zhao Zhen thought she didn't know how to ride, so he quickly said: "Empress, Weichen's horse is very obedient!"

Nie Wushuang couldn't bear to brush off his kindness and smiled slightly: "Then I'm welcome." She took a deep breath and got on her horse. The posture was so smooth that Zhao Zhen couldn't help but cheer: "Your Majesty, your riding skills are so good!"

Nie Wushuang couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. Her riding skills probably only amounted to this fancy trick of getting on top of a horse. Asking her to gallop with a whip is simply a joke. Although I had ridden a horse when I was a girl, I had never ridden something like this.

The fierce-tempered war horses are low-pitched young mares.

She was on a horse, and Zhao Zhen was afraid of an accident, so he quickly led the horse to lead the way for her. The group of people walked slowly towards the narrow valley. Nie Wushuang looked at the majestic mountain walls on both sides. The valley was quiet, and from time to time he heard some birds fluttering past, then flapping their wings and chirping.

"Commander Zhao, this section of the road is the most remote, right?" Nie Wushuang suddenly asked.
