The first princess of the world

Chapter 399 Dark Night Asura (VIII)

Looking at the familiar handwriting, Beiming Aotian almost shed tears.He knew that Nangong Fengxue was not dead, and she was still caring about him.

Although this is a small box of ointment, it contains Nangong Fengxue's deep concern.At this moment, Beiming Aotian felt that everything he had done for Nangong Fengxue was worth it.

Carefully covering the ointment on his chest, Beiming Aotian was reluctant to apply it.This was the first time Nangong Fengxue gave him something, and the first time she cared about him, so he had to keep it well.

Putting the ointment away carefully in his bosom, Beiming Aotian began to critique the memorial again.It's just that the mood now is very different from that just now.

After that day, Beiming Aotian's mood improved.While he was busy with government affairs, he sent people everywhere to inquire about Nangong Fengxue's whereabouts.

He knew that Nangong Fengxue must still be in Los Angeles, and that she might be secretly engaged in something if she didn't see him now.

Recently, his people monitored Queen Mother Chen and found nothing.It just confirmed that on the day of the fire in the other courtyard of the palace, her secret guard Ye was actually sent out by the queen mother to handle errands and was not in the palace.

This made Beiming Aotian very sure that the assassination of Nangong Fengxue that night was done by Empress Dowager Chen.So he slowly began to alienate the Empress Dowager Chen, and seldom went to pay her respects because of his busy government affairs.

Seeing that Beiming Aotian hadn't gone to pay his respects for many days, Empress Dowager Chen was worried that Beiming Aotian was unwell, so she boiled some chicken soup herself and came to the imperial study.

Seeing the Queen Mother Chen who came uninvited, Beiming Aotian stood up to greet her, looked at her indifferently and asked, "Why is the Queen Mother here?"

"The empress mother is worried about your health, so she specially boiled soup and brought it to you. You can drink it while it's hot." Empress Dowager Chen said with a smile, bringing out the soup with her own hands.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Beiming Aotian took it, tasted it lightly, and said, "The soup made by Queen Mother is still delicious."

"As long as the emperor likes it." The Empress Dowager Chen listened to Beiming Aotian's words with a smile on her face.Seeing that Beiming Aotian had almost finished the soup, he asked seemingly casually: "My lord, is there any clue about the sudden fire in the other courtyard of the palace?"

Hearing Queen Mother Chen's question, Beiming Aotian froze when he drank the soup, and finally his fox's tail showed in his heart.He said how the Empress Dowager Chen made soup for herself for no reason and brought it to her. It turned out that she wanted to find out about Nangong Fengxue.

Beiming Aotian knew that Empress Dowager Chen must not be able to find out where Nangong Fengxue was, so she came to ask herself.But how could he do what she wished?Don't say that he didn't know where Nangong Fengxue was, even if he knew, he wouldn't tell her.

"The preliminary conclusion is that the little eunuch didn't hang up the lantern properly." Beiming Aotian perfunctorily dealt with Queen Mother Chen, but secretly observed the expression on her face with his eyes.

Sure enough, Empress Dowager Chen frowned slightly when she heard Beiming Aotian's answer, as if she didn't believe it.

"Why did the queen mother suddenly ask about this?" Beiming Aotian spoke in a timely manner, bringing the queen mother back to her senses.She smiled unnaturally, and then said: "The queen mother is only concerned about it. After all, the other courtyards of the palace are no better than other places. It would be bad if someone did it deliberately."

"Mother, don't worry, I have checked it, it was an accident." Beiming Aotian said lightly, and then put the soup bowl aside.
