Chapter 40 Feeling like you are the same as before
"Wei Chen knows." Deng Xiaowang said neither humble nor overbearing.
"Come here, Deng Xiaowang is familiar with Queen Nanyu, so he can be thrown into the sky prison and wait for punishment." The emperor said angrily.
Deng Xiaoran smiled at Nuan Si and followed the guards out in a swaggering manner.
The matter finally came to an end, but Nuan Si could not be happy at all.
"Queen, as the mother of the country, you must be careful in your words and deeds. Since you did not make a big mistake this time, the Ai family will not pursue it. I hope you will not follow this example. If something similar happens again, the Ai family will investigate strictly."
"My son, I will obey the teachings of my mother." Nuan Si was no longer in the mood to argue with the Queen Mother at this moment, because her heart felt as heavy as a big stone.
It was only after everyone saw it that Deng Xiaowang's rhetoric really opened up things for himself and saved Belle, but it put Deng Xiaowang in a dangerous place.
She was not familiar with him or had any interactions with him. She didn't understand why he wanted to help her. Was it really because he couldn't bear it when she begged him and was moved by it?
He saved one and harmed another. Nuan Si was destined to be the loser in this battle. The loser was unpopular with the emperor, because the emperor watched coldly from the beginning to the end. The winner was Deng Xiao, who felt that you were the same as before and was not related to him.
The king actually made a sacrifice.
Things are so unpredictable. Nuan Si suddenly felt that she should not be like a child and should learn to grow up, because in this harem where walking on thin ice, a careless move could lead to a disaster for herself and harm to the people around her.
.
"How is Belle?" Nuansi asked the doctor tiredly.
"Reply to my wife, Miss Belle's life is no longer in danger, but..." The imperial doctor hesitated to speak.
"But what?" Nuan Si asked weakly, unable to withstand too many blows.
"Please forgive me, I have tried my best, but I still can't save Miss Belle's appearance." The doctor said tremblingly.
With a bang, the tea cup in her hand fell to the ground, and a tear left the corner of Nuan Si's eyes, Belle, I'm sorry for you.
After the imperial doctor left, Nuan Si stayed at Bei'er's window, looking at Bei'er whose face was covered with white cloth. That extremely smart woman was so cute and lovable. She seemed to be spiritual, which made people wonder.
Consciously want to get closer.
I still remember that when she came in and out of the palace, Belle was deployed here, thinking about her, taking good care of her, helping her cover up in Prince Ning's Mansion, and doing everything silently for her.
In front of Yan Yu, she blushed like a young girl in love...
And now she is the one lying on the bed that has changed beyond recognition, this woman who was once like an elf...
Nuan Si vaguely remembers Bei'er's life experience. She was an orphan who was adopted by an old eunuch. She was about to find happiness, but she missed it...
Who said that when God closes a door for you, he will open a window for you. Where is Belle's window?
"Mother..." Belle murmured softly.
"Well, Belle, I'm here." Nuan Si wiped away her tears and forced a smile.
"It's okay, my dear, I know...I know someone is trying to frame you." Belle said slowly.
Nuan Si nodded tearfully.
"They want to give in and ask me to frame the queen, but they don't know... In Belle's heart, the queen is more important than Belle's life." Belle said reluctantly. Although it was vague, Nuan Si could tell that it was roughly the same.
.
Nuan Si burst into tears. She did not think about how loyal the palace maids around her were to her. After all, they were all flesh and blood people. Even if they could not bear the pain of flesh and blood, it was human nature to frame herself. Who said that if a person does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.
But Nuan Xiang wanted to ask, does the genius want to destroy Belle just because she is not for herself? What a ridiculous thing.
"Belle, I will never forget your feelings for me in my life." Nuan Si held Belle's hand tightly.
"When my godfather came back to life, he taught me that I will only recognize one master in my life. Since Belle has followed my mother-in-law, I will protect her with all my heart."
Falling red is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect flowers. Although this poem does not fit this situation, Nuan Si just thought of it. She really has no way to repay Belle's love for her.
"Beier, don't worry, I will find a good home for you." Nuan Si whispered, looking at the sleepy Belle.
Tianlao
Nuan Si came to this place again. Last time, she was framed and imprisoned together with Bai Mei. In the end, she forced Bai Mei to go away. This time, another man was implicated by her.
Nuansi often wonders whether she is a bad actor or not, and why people around her will be implicated by her.
"Good luck to the Queen." The guard guarding the door knelt down.
"Yeah." Nuan Si responded softly.
"Open the cell door." Nuan Si ordered.
"This..." The guard was very embarrassed.
Nuan Si handed over a piece of gold, and the guard's expression changed drastically: "I don't dare."
"Take it, give me some time, I want to see Prince Deng." Nuan Si said calmly.
People die for wealth and birds die for food. As expected, the guard was not as determined as before, so he said: "Then please hurry up."
Nuan Si nodded and walked into the dungeon. The dungeon was still so dark. Nuan Si once complained about how the dungeon could be so unbearable. Not only was it dark and damp, there were snakes, insects, rats, and ants everywhere. There were spider webs everywhere, which made people feel uncomfortable.
It was frightening to see.
Later I thought about how ridiculous I was. The prison cells were all felons and heinous people. How could they provide you with a good environment?
"Prince Deng, I'm here to see you." Nuan Si didn't know what to say. After thinking for a moment, she still felt that it was appropriate to say this.
At this time, Deng Xiaoran had already taken off his python robe and put on a white prison uniform. He was sitting close to the wall and stood up when he heard the sound.
"Greetings to the Queen."
Nuan Si stepped forward to help Deng Xiaoran up: "My benefactor, no courtesy."
"I dare not." Deng Xiaoran hurriedly avoided the queen's hand, feeling flattered.
"Deng Xiaoran, why did you put yourself in this situation by speaking like that?" Nuansi said straight to the point.
"That's the truth. I just told the truth." Deng Xiaoran pursed his lips and said.
"There are no outsiders here. I want to listen to the truth. You can use this to deal with me." Nuan Si said angrily.
Deng Xiaoran was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the Queen to be angry, so his heart tightened and he said, "Just share the worries for the Queen."
Nuan Si was startled, and sure enough, it was because he was forced to beg for help everywhere, and when he begged him, he couldn't bear it, so he made this move.
"But you hurt yourself, is it worth it?" Nuansi asked.
Deng Xiaoran smiled: "I, Mr. Deng, never regret anything I do. People don't look back until they hit the south wall. I don't look back even if I hit the south wall, and I stubbornly broke the south wall..."
Nuan Si couldn't laugh at all, she sighed and said, "I feel guilty for putting you in this situation."
Deng Xiaoran waved his hands hurriedly: "My queen, there is no need for this. I just helped a little bit within my ability, so there is no need to take it to heart."
"Deng Xiaoran, will the emperor kill you?" Nuan Si asked worriedly.
Deng Xiaoran was stunned. He didn't expect Nuan Si to care about this. Does this mean that she cares about him? So he felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "Probably not. After all, the emperor still needs to take care of my family."
"Is it King Yi'an?" Nuan Si asked next.
Deng Xiaoran laughed out loud: "Your Majesty, you are really good at telling jokes. I am not King Yi'an. Is there someone else?"
Nuan Si knew that she had made a mistake, so she blushed slightly, and then said, "Don't always look so smiling. A disaster is imminent, why don't you worry."
"Whether you live or die, you have your own destiny. There is no use worrying about it."
"You're really thinking about it." Nuan Si felt ashamed.
"The prison is dark and damp, please come back," Deng Xiaoran advised.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Nuan Si was no longer lingering, so he said solemnly: "Everyone knows that Deng Xiaowang is a playboy, who plays with women, is sanctimonious, and is unreliable. Only I know that you are a guy who values love and justice.
There is no way I can repay you for my kindness today. I am grateful to you for your kindness. If the young prince needs me in the future, I will be ready to do anything for you."
Deng Xiaoran was deeply moved by Nuan Si's words. Everyone said that the Queen was just a fake, a dull vase, and an immature child. Only he, Deng Xiaoran, knew the world-famous appearance of the little Queen.
Next, he still has a kind heart and a kind heart. The righteous look just now deeply shocked him. He has never seen such a look on any woman's face...
Many years later, someone once asked Deng Xiaoran, is Lady Ling your poison? Why can't you stop even though you know it's poisonous? Deng Xiaoran shook his head and said with a smile: "She is not poison, she is my air. Without her, I would be as useless as a walking zombie."
Lifeless.
"My Majesty's words moved Wei Chen very much, and I will remember them."
"Yes." Nuan Si nodded and stood up to leave.
"Your Majesty, Marquis Yan Zhong has been begging for an audience for a long time," Bao'er reported.
Nuan Si knew in her heart that Yan Yu must be talking about Beier, so she sighed and walked towards the inner hall.
"I send my regards to the Queen." Yan Yu looked haggard.
"Plain body."
"Thank you, empress."
"Yan Yu, are you here to see Bei'er? Just go directly and there is no need to report to me." Nuan Si said.
"No, I asked the queen to marry me." Yan Yu said word by word.
"Marriage?" Nuan Si was puzzled.
"Wei Chen plans to marry Miss Bei'er. The Emperor has already agreed. He is just waiting for the Empress' nod."
At this time, Bao'er stumbled and almost fell. Did she hear it correctly? Yan Yu was going to marry Bei'er, who was now unrecognizable.
Nuan Si was overjoyed. She didn't expect that Yan Yu would be so devoted to Bei'er now. She was deeply pleased, so she said, "I'm sure."
"But Beier didn't agree." Yan Yu looked sad.
"Belle won't agree?" Nuan Si was confused. She didn't understand how Belle could refuse such a good opportunity.
"Why don't you agree?" Nuansi asked.
"She said that not only was she a slave, but now she is even more ugly and not worthy of being a minister." Yan Yu said truthfully.
"Ah? She actually said that." Nuan Si's heart felt cold. It seemed that Belle really had low self-esteem.
"That's why I came to ask the Queen to give advice to Bei'er."
"Well, you should go back first. I will give Belle some advice."
"Thank you, empress." Yan Yu's tone was calm and there was nothing obvious about it, but Nuan Si could tell that Yan Yu was much colder to her.
So he called Yan Yu: "Yan Yu, do you blame me for not taking good care of her?"
Yan Yu paused: "I don't hate anyone. This is the fate between me and Bei'er."
Nuan Si felt very sad after hearing this, so she got up and walked to the side room. Ever since Bei'er recovered, she had been surprisingly calm. She didn't smash the mirror or cry loudly. She just sat quietly.
"Belle." He called softly and Nuansi walked over.
Belle turned around and wore a white veil, but it was still difficult to hide the long scar on her cheek.
"Empress, are you here? If you are lobbying for Yan Yu, then there is no need to speak." Beier said calmly.
"Isn't it your long-cherished wish to be Mrs. Yan Yu?" Nuan Si asked distressedly.
