Chapter 22 Visitors from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty

The night was still so dark, it was still the same prison, but it was no longer the same person. Snow Concubine was dressed in white, leaning against the corner lonely.

"The Queen is here," the eunuch shouted.

Hearing the sound, Xue Bin raised her head and saw Nuan Si in a pink cloak standing in front of the prison door.

"Open the cell door." Nuan Si said quietly.

"This..." The cell leader seemed to hesitate, because the prisoners in the sky prison are usually repeat offenders, so there is no precedent for opening the cell door. If nothing else, he would just say that in case Xue Concubine does something to harm the Queen in a hurry.

thing, then who can bear this crime?

"Why are you still standing there? Haven't you opened it yet? Could it be that my words don't work on you?" Nuan Si said displeasedly.

"No, no, your Majesty has misunderstood. Even if I have ten courages, I would not dare to disobey your Majesty's words." The prison leader replied hurriedly.

"Well, stop talking nonsense and open it."

"Yes, please be careful, Madam." The cell leader kindly reminded me.

Walking in, Xuebing was still leaning against the corner and did not get up. When Nuansi came in, she sneered and said, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Why should I be afraid of you?" Nuansi asked in response.

Xuebing smiled and did not answer, but continued: "Are you here to make me laugh?"

"Do you think you are ridiculous?" Nuansi asked again.

Xue Bin was stunned for a moment and then laughed at herself: "I underestimated you before. You are much smarter than I thought."

Nuan Si also chuckled: "I have always been smart, but I don't bother to go so far. If it doesn't push me to a dead end, I won't make such a move."

"A dead end?" Snow Concubine smiled, and then said: "Really? I must push you to a dead end. This is how it is in this palace. You must fight to the death, the weak and the strong."

"Just because I am a queen? Just for the title of queen?" Nuan Si asked incomprehensively.

Xue Bin shook her head: "Others may be, but I am not. The reason why I want to get rid of you is because of my selfish love."

"Selfish love?" Nuan Si became more and more confused the more she listened.

"Haha, I love Wu Huan, I have loved him for many years." Xue Bin said lightly.

This is also the first time Nuan Si heard Xue Concubine call the emperor by his first name...

"That year, I was only ten years old. The Emperor and my brother had a good relationship. They often visited our house. When he first walked into my house, I found that I was hopelessly in love with him." Xue.

The concubine's eyes were full of longing, recalling every bit of the past.

"So that's it." Nuan Si sighed. She finally understood what Xue Concubine did. It turned out that she was a more pathetic woman than competing for favor, but she fell in love with the emperor stupidly.

Who said that any woman who loves the King of God is destined to have a bad end? Just look at the miserable situation of Snow Concubine.

"You are stupid." Nuan Si sighed.

"It's fate." Xuebing smiled.

"But he never loved you, right?" Although the emperor was good to Xuefeng in the past, Nuan Si could still tell that the emperor had no love for Yu Manxue.

"Yes, he doesn't love me, so I have nothing to do. I have to fight hard to be the only woman around him. Then maybe one day, he will fall in love with me." Xue Bin thought.

Nuan Si smiled sarcastically: "This seems to be a very distant dream."

"Ling Nuansi, do you know why I was favored in the first place?" Xuebing suddenly asked.

Nuan Si nodded: "I know a little bit, because you imitated my frown and smile, and in you, the emperor saw the old me."

Snow Concubine nodded: "Yes, it is said that the emperor loved Princess Ning very much before he ascended the throne, so I tried my best to find out your preferences and tried my best to imitate your every move, every frown and every smile."

"Then do you know why I was dubbed a beauty overnight before even going to bed? Snow Concubine's eyes flashed.

"Maybe it's because of your brother." Nuan Si recalled the night before Xue Concubine was conferred, General Yu and the Emperor had a secret talk all night.

Xuebing was obviously surprised and said with admiration: "Ling Nuansi, you are really smart. You have always pretended to be very good in front of others. Everyone thinks you are very innocent."

"It's not disguise, it's disdain. There's no way you can compare with me. I have information that you will never understand. Even if I tell you, you won't understand. However, I'm not stupid. I just don't bother to use all kinds of despicable means to compete for favor."

." Nuan Si twitched the corners of her lips and said.

"Then when did you start getting interested?" Xue Bin was very curious.

"From the moment you used a trick to get Qing'er to instigate Bao'er to marry Yan Yu, and the day Bei'er committed suicide by hanging from a beam and was rescued in time, I knew that I couldn't continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, otherwise the people around me would

You will suffer great harm."

Snow Concubine smiled disdainfully: "If only you had thought this way earlier, you wouldn't have suffered the pain of your skin?"

"Oh? Could it be that you tampered with Mrs. Cuiwei's child?" Nuansi asked.

Snow Concubine shook her head: "There are too many smart people in this harem. If I don't need to take action, someone will naturally do it."

"Then Qing'er went to get the musk, was it your instigation, right?" Nuansi asked calmly.

"Well, yes, that's an unexpected gain for me." Xue Bin raised her lips slightly.

"I once really thought Qing'er was Bai Ruolan's man." Nuan Si sighed.

"Then how did you find out it wasn't true?" Xuebin was curious.

"When Qing'er identified Bai Ruolan, I knew she was not the one, because Qing'er would not easily reveal the person behind the scenes." Nuan Si analyzed calmly.

"Well, that makes sense, Ling Nuansi. It turns out that we are the same kind of people. It's a pity that we are natural enemies. Otherwise, we must be very good friends." Xue Bin sighed.

Nuan Si nodded: "Yes, it's a pity, but you probably won't die."

Snow Concubine smiled coldly: "I really hope the emperor kills me, otherwise life would be worse than death."

Nuan Si looked at Xue Bin in confusion, wondering how she could say such a thing.

Snow concubine continued: "The reason why the emperor doesn't kill me is because of my brother. When I became a beauty, I begged my brother hard and threatened him that if I was not allowed to enter the palace, I would never marry. Now the emperor still keeps me because of my brother's face.

One life, do you think it is my sorrow?"

Nuan Si sighed, it turns out that a woman as fancy as Xuebing is also such a pitiful person, she even begged for love.

The most important thing is that she didn't get a trace of love from the emperor. The emperor could send her to the eighteenth level of hell with just one word...

"I'm leaving, so you can take care of yourself." Nuan Si said goodbye.

"Ling Nuansi, he - he loves you, right?" Xue Bin expressed the question she had always had in her heart.

"Do you love me? Maybe." Nuan Si said and turned to leave.

To say that the emperor loves her, Nuan Si is also very conflicted. Sometimes he is really indifferent to her, but sometimes he is really unmatched. Just like this time, she found the emperor and discussed this plan with him. The emperor

Without saying a word, he cooperated with her and lured the snow concubine out. And I heard that for his own finger, he issued an imperial notice and issued an edict to the world. This is an unprecedented precedent in ancient times.

The next day, news came that Snow Concubine was reduced to a commoner and sent to the border to reunite with General Yu. She was not allowed to set foot in the imperial capital for the rest of her life.

This punishment was undoubtedly more painful for Snow Concubine than killing her. When Snow Concubine left, there was light rain in the sky. She had an old carriage, a coachman, a maid, and not even a guard. She left quietly like this.

.

Nuan Si stood on the high platform, watching Yu Manxue's leaving figure, and suddenly felt a little sad. She remembered that when she first entered the palace, she was the most favored harem, the envy of others, and she suddenly became a popular figure in the palace.

Now, alone, with no one to see her off, she left so sadly...

The late concubine fell out of favor, just like a beautiful woman is banned. Now the snow concubine has been kicked out of the palace, but the fight will never end...

Since you have to face it sooner or later, let's do it. Because of her love for Mo Yu Wuhuan, Nuan Si once lost herself. Who said that love can reduce a person's IQ to zero? This is absolutely true.

, Now Nuansi has looked away and let it go, so she has returned to the person she was before, the person she was without others, the person who was extremely arrogant, the person who used soldiers to cover up the water and the earth...

That night, the palace did not become dull because of Snow Concubine's departure, but became busy with lights and colorful decorations.

"What are you preparing for?" Nuansi asked a palace lady who was hanging a lantern.

"Reporting to the Empress, in three days, Princess Yicheng is going to visit the bride. I heard that her husband, the King of Eastern Zhou Dynasty, will also come?" Xiao Gong'e said unabashedly.

"Oh, it turns out it was Princess Yicheng who came to visit her relatives." I remembered that it had been three years since Princess Yicheng got married. When she first came to the imperial capital, I had met her once. That little girl seemed quite cute. Moreover,

Because of that incident, I also got to know Duan Jinghan, a noble son who was generous with his righteousness and wealth, and was loyal and courageous.

Thinking of this, Nuan Si also remembered that when she had time, she wanted to ask Duan Jinghan how the matter went? If she found clues, could she go back? I miss my daddy and mommy so much.

Did Gong'e just say that the King of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is also coming? That man who is brave and good at fighting? The legendary man who inherited the throne at the age of fifteen?

Nuan Si looked up at the sky and thought to herself: "Tomorrow will be a nice day. It seems like there will be excitement again."

Returning to the dormitory, I took off my clothes and lay directly on the bed. Suddenly I was hugged hard...

"Ah, help, ghost." Nuan Si screamed in fright.

"You dare to say that I am a ghost, and I won't take care of you." The emperor said while tickling her armpits.

"Haha... Hahaha, how could you do this? You are so bad." Nuan Si smiled and rolled left and right. She was most ticklish.

"Who told you to call me a ghost?" the emperor said pretending to be angry.

I don't know when, Nuan Si felt that Mo Yu Wuhuan had changed, became cheerful, and seemed to be afraid of losing her, but she had already thought about it, she wanted to go home, and wanted to leave this world.

Already...

Is it too late for them to fall in love? Nuansi's tears of laughter are filled with sadness...
