phoenix returns to the world

Chapter 132 Adversity sees the truth

In the dark woods, a smell of blood spread, making people unable to bear the churn in their stomachs.

Seeing that all the hidden guards disappeared, Mo Sheng asked, "Second Prince, shall we continue hunting?"

Today was originally a hunting meeting where envoys from the four countries gathered together, but every time there was a hunting meeting, the hunting grounds were full of wanton killings.At this time, the corpses of this group of killers are still kept here, presumably the bloody smell will also spread, which will inevitably attract a large number of wild animals, so it is not suitable to stay here for a long time.

Ming Qiushui glanced at Feng Nishang beside her. At this moment, she had lost her sharpness and became calm, "Go back." He didn't want Feng Nishang to stay in this dangerous place.

Feng Nishang's eyes tightened immediately, her brows furrowed unconsciously, as if thinking of something, she said, "Ming Qiushui, Wei Wuji is still in the woods, I can't go back yet."

Ming Qiushui's black eyes darkened, looking at the faint worry in Feng Nishang's eyes, secretly guessing, did something happen when he didn't show up just now?
"I was ordered to enter the hunting ground. General Wei followed me into the hunting ground. After experiencing pythons and snakes, the hunting clothes on my body attracted wolves. Leaving, I don't know where he is at the moment, and Nishang can't leave alone when General Wei is not sure of his safety." Feng Nishang lowered her eyebrows, thinking of the thrilling scenes she experienced just now, and the riding and shooting outfit she was wearing After being tampered with, a deep look appeared in his black eyes.

Ming Qiushui heard Feng Nishang's simple narration, and immediately his heart was suspended high, listening to Feng Nishang's calm words, but the life and death experienced inside was not as simple as the words.

Ming Qiushui thought of Wei Wuji disregarding life and death for Feng Nishang's safety, he was startled, at the same time, he was sweating for Feng Nishang, it was because he came late, presumably the shock just now was extraordinary.

While Ming Qiushui was meditating, he stretched out his arms to hug Feng Nishang tightly, and leaped for life. Feng Nishang could only feel the wind whistling in her ears, and smelled the fragrant grass scent of a man in her nose. At this moment, Feng Nishang's heart It was calm, as if in Ming Qiushui's arms, his heart became more at ease.

The two landed on a steed not far away, Zhui Feng immediately raised the horse's hooves forward, and Ming Qiushui's deep voice sounded in Feng Nishang's ear, "Wei Wuji, you will be fine."

When Ming Qiushui thought of Wei Wuji's actions, besides blaming himself, he was also very grateful. No matter what, he had to find Wei Wuji.

At this time, Wei Wuji was standing among the corpses of the wolves covered in blood, he couldn't tell whether it was his own blood or the blood of the wolves, the ground was covered with corpses of wolves, finally he killed the wolves, and he He was also injured, and there were severe pains all over his body. Wei Wuji thought of the promise the woman had made, his extremely exhausted body, but his black eyes were shining brightly, looking at the rest area, he twitched the corners of his mouth , showing a gentle smile.

Wei Wuji dragged his heavy body slowly out of the woods. From a distance, everyone saw a man covered in blood walking out of the hunting ground. When the long figure slowly walked in, everyone realized that this man It turned out to be General Wei.

"General Wei——" the voice came, and then someone ran to Wei Wuji's side immediately.

"General Wei, what's the matter with you?" Emperor Kang'an also heard the voice, followed the sound, and seeing Wei Wuji's appearance, he couldn't help frowning, "What happened?"

"It must have been hunting, so I've returned with a full load," Concubine Wan Gui immediately followed Emperor Kang'an's words, with a gentle face, and specially added a new cup of tea for Emperor Kang'an.

Seeing Wei Wuji's appearance, the queen panicked and got up immediately, ignoring Emperor Kang'an behind her, and ran towards Wei Wuji in a hurry. When she approached Wei Wuji, she looked at Wei Wuji who was covered in blood Jishi, his footsteps stopped, his body seemed to have no support suddenly, and he almost fell to the ground.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Su Momo immediately stretched out her hand to support the empress, and when the empress came back to her senses, she immediately called out, "Quick, pass on the imperial physician!"

At this time, Wei Wuji was exhausted. Looking at someone, his heavy body finally fell down. His body had reached its limit. He held on to his last breath, just wanting to know if Feng Nishang was okay. Unconscious, but kept shouting "Nishang...Nishang..."

The empress came to Wei Wuji's side in a hurry, and unconsciously stretched out her hand to grab Wei Wuji's hand, "Wuji, what's going on? How did you become like this?"

He was still in good shape just now, but after entering the hunting ground, he came out like this, his clothes were no longer clothes, they were simply rags, his whole body was covered with glaring blood, the empress felt congested in her heart, Wuji to the end What kind of things did he go through, so that he, who had been killed for a long time, suffered such a serious injury?

Feeling someone pulling his hand, Wei Wuji opened his eyes with the last bit of strength, saw the shadow of his aunt, and asked directly, "Did Nishang... come back...?"

The Empress was startled when she heard Wei Wuji's words, then shook her head.

Wei Wuji's heart felt as if it had been stabbed by something sharp, and there was a burst of pain. Realizing that Feng Nishang was still in the hunting ground, he immediately struggled with his exhausted body, wanting to return to the hunting ground again.

"Wuji, lie down quickly, you need treatment!" The Empress stretched out her hand to stop Wei Wuji's desperate move.

Wei Wuji's body had indeed reached its limit, the empress's strength had pressed him to the ground, and he couldn't get up anyway, when the last bit of strength was withdrawn, Wei Wuji immediately passed out and fainted He who was in the middle of it was still in his mouth, constantly muttering, "Neon clothes...Neon clothes..."

"Be careful, don't hurt the general," the empress ordered her servants to carry Wei Wuji back to the camp. Seeing Wei Wuji's injuries, the empress held her heart tightly and kept praying in her heart. , Wuji, you must be fine!
On the stage, Emperor Kang'an saw Wei Wuji being carried into a tent not far away, his thick black brows furrowed tightly, he grabbed a guard and asked, "What happened? How could General Wei be carried away?" return?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the slave doesn't know what happened, but... the general was covered in blood, and passed out as soon as he walked out of the hunting ground," the guard replied in fear.

After the emperor heard the guard's words, his heart tightened even more, as if he was thinking about something.

On the other hand, Concubine Wan Gui lowered her eyebrows, and under her long eyelashes, a ray of light flashed for an instant, and when she saw her the next second, she immediately raised her worried face, "Why is there only the general alone? The two who followed the general into the hunting ground Where is the princess?"

The guard shook his head, and replied truthfully, "Only the general came back, General Wei after fainting, still talking about neon clothes, neon clothes..."

Concubine Wan Gui was overjoyed, her plan succeeded, Feng Nishang did not come back, so she must have been buried in the belly of those ferocious beasts, even Wei Wuji, a veteran general, came back with such a serious injury, Presumably that girl Feng Nishang must be dead.

Feng Nishang, Feng Nishang, don't blame me for being cruel, it is you who have a good mistress, it is she who told me to take your life.

Concubine Wan Gui looked at the dense forest that could not be seen at a glance, and sneered in her heart. Feng Nishang was probably dead and she didn't know who took her life!
The empress was very worried about Wei Wuji's injury, so she followed the imperial physician and sent Wei Wuji back to the palace. The empress immediately summoned all the imperial doctors to stay in the empress's bedroom together. The imperial doctors looked at Wei Wuji. The scratch marks on Ji's body, those imperial doctors who have experienced countless illnesses, did not feel pity, this injury is really too serious.

After all the imperial doctors had retreated, the empress still stood by Wei Wuji's side, looking at him who closed his eyes tightly, his bronze-colored skin now had a tinge of blue, and there were still a few scars on his face. Scars, a pain in her heart, if she knew that Wuji would suffer such serious injuries when entering the hunting ground, she would not let him in no matter what.

"Empress Empress, it's late at night, you should go to rest! This place will be taken care of by servants," Su Momo saw the worried expression of Empress Empress, and her heart was filled with anxiety. After being sent by General Wei to Empress Empress' bedroom, The empress has been taking care of her all the time, without taking a break for a while. Now two hours have passed, and the empress is still sitting motionless beside General Wei, serving the empress for so many years. Madam Su knows that the empress is right General Wei's feelings are as if General Wei is his own child, and he loves him so much.This time, General Wei suffered such a serious injury, the empress must be very sad and distressed.

"No, I want to take care of Wuji myself," the empress took out the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, carefully, fearing that someone might hurt Wuji who was in a coma with force, and the embroidered handkerchief kept wiping Wei Wuji's forehead Looking at Wei Wuji who was frowning tightly even in a coma, he secretly thought, Wuji, it really hurts, even if he is unconscious, he still frowns so tightly.

Su Momo sighed in her heart, turned her eyes, and saw that on the blood-stained clothes under the bed, "Empress, what should I do with these things?"

The empress looked at the things on the ground, and immediately frowned, "This... isn't this Feng Nishang's clothes?"

When Madam Su heard this, she immediately picked up the tattered clothes on the ground, and handed them to the empress. The empress took a closer look, and she would not be mistaken. This dress was indeed the riding and archery outfit Nishang wore when she walked into the hunting ground just now. , The fabric of this dress is very rare, there is only one piece in the whole palace, I remember it was taken by Concubine Wan Gui, at this time, looking at this fabric, the empress's heart tightened, and some things seemed to be gradually frowning.

"Empress, this is the clothes that the princess put on today, why... why is it on General Wei's body..." Su Momo said, her brows furrowed, the more she thought about it, the more weird she felt.

The same is true for the empress at the moment. Thinking of Feng Nishang riding a horse into the hunting ground, she suddenly felt a little unusual in her flashy riding and archery outfit.

"Put this shirt away," the empress seemed to have thought of something, and immediately ordered Su Momo to put away this shirt.

At this moment, a court lady respectfully walked up to the empress, "I would like to inform the empress that the second prince of the Beimo Kingdom brought the concubine to see him outside."

When the empress heard the maid's report, she immediately said anxiously, "Quick, let them in."

When Wei Wuji was in a coma, he kept calling Feng Nishang's name. Feng Nishang must have known about this, and everything would be clear after seeing her.

Soon, the second prince Ming Qiushui took Feng Nishang into the empress's bedroom. When Feng Nishang's figure stood in front of the empress, the empress unconsciously looked her up and down to make sure that Feng Nishang was not injured. Only then did she feel relieved, at this moment, nothing happened to Feng Nishang, Feng Nishang was the second prince and concubine of Beimo Kingdom, if something happened to her, then the second prince beside her would definitely not let it go.

The empress's eyes unconsciously glanced at the second prince Ming Qiushui. Feng Nishang bowed to the empress, and the empress responded indifferently. There was no trace of clues on her calm face, but when Feng Nishang's eyes fell on the empress, When Wei Wuji was on the bed, he immediately stopped worrying about other things. He just stood in front of the bed and looked at Wei Wuji who was wrapped in white cloth. With such a serious injury, I really don't know what kind of danger he was facing at that time.

"General Wei, how is he...?" Feng Nishang frowned tightly, her eyes fell on Wei Wuji's tough and handsome face, looking at the scars on his face, she subconsciously reached out to caress him. Ping Wei Wuji frowned tightly, and Feng Nishang's fingertips trembled a little, with a coolness, maybe it was the gentleness of a woman, which finally smoothed Wei Wuji's frowned brows, and the thick brows gradually faded away. Stretch out.

"The imperial doctor has already seen it. The injury is serious, but it is not life-threatening," the empress said in a deep voice, and she glanced at Feng Nishang as if there was nothing in her eyes. "What happened in the hunting ground? Why is there no harm?" When Ji came back, he was covered in blood."

Feng Nishang thought of the series of things that happened in the hunting ground just now in her mind, and she frowned tightly, "The general put himself in danger to save me, and led the wolves away by himself."

"Sure enough it's because of you!" The voice of the Empress's status suddenly rose, his nephew actually died because of this Feng Nishang, and the other party was married a long time ago, what a crime he has done!

"The empress blames Nishang, and Nishang is willing to be punished, but empress, do you know who set this trap?" Feng Nishang raised her eyes and looked at the empress calmly, without missing a single bit of the expression on the empress's face.

The empress didn't expect Feng Nishang to stare at her so fearlessly, and she felt a sense of displeasure in her heart. Originally, Wuji was injured because of this woman. At this time, she didn't know how to be superior or inferior, and stared at her without knowing what was wrong. She, the Empress Empress immediately changed her face, "Bold Feng Nishang, who gave you the courage to allow you to talk to Ben Gong like this!"

Feng Nishang knelt down in front of the Empress Empress without humility, her eyes still indifferent, "Empress Empress, please be careful, there are some things that Nishang still wants to say. After Empress Empress knows about this, if she feels that Nishang has wronged her, As soon as Nishang was given to die, Nishang never complained. In fact, all of this was because of Concubine Wan Gui, a trap set by Concubine Wan Gui. First there were pythons, snakes, wolves, and finally killers. The empress's friendship, but this is an absolutely true thing, if Nishang speaks half a lie, he will surely die without a place to bury him!"

After Feng Nishang finished speaking, the empress's heart tightened, but then her face was filled with anger, "Bold Feng Nishang, you provoke the friendship between me and Concubine Wan Gui, what is your intention!"

"Empress, what Nishang said is true, if you don't believe me, you can wait for General Wei to wake up and ask," Feng Nishang was still calm as usual, at this time Feng Nishang just wanted the empress to see the true face of Concubine Wan Gui, she thought Brother Wuji took care of her, and he wanted to save her regardless of his life. For this friendship, Feng Nishang could not repay her. I just hope that the relatives around Brother Wuji are well, and that Brother Wuji is well.

The empress looked at Feng Nishang in front of her, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was sizing up Feng Nishang, observing Feng Nishang, she remembered Wuji's blood-stained cavalry suit, her eyes became darker, "Madam Su, go and take out that bloody gown."

Immediately, Madam Su took the order, and quickly presented the blood-stained riding and shooting outfit in front of the empress.

"What's the matter with this dress?" The empress suppressed all her anger, and sat on the imperial concubine chair beside her, her voice was very calm, without the slightest warmth, and her eyes looking at Feng Nishang were also quiet as usual.

Feng Nishang glanced at the blood-stained clothes, felt a pain in her heart, but her eyes were sharp, "It's this clothes, which was tampered with by Concubine Wan Gui. There is a dark fragrance on this clothes. When worn on As the temperature of the human body rises, it emits bursts of dark fragrance, which attracts the beasts in the hunting grounds. General Wei put this shirt in his arms to lure the wolves away."

"Oh, is that so?" The empress stared at Feng Nishang suspiciously.

At this time, Feng Nishang directly picked up the shirt and stuck the soft cloth on her body without saying a word. Soon, the atmosphere in the closed room became a little weird, and Ming Qiushui also stood on the side, Looking at Feng Nishang's movements, he also wanted to know what kind of dark fragrance it was, so ferocious.

And the empress is also very patient, she knows Feng Nishang's character, since she opened her mouth, she must produce evidence, even if she is the princess of Beimo Kingdom, even if Ming Qiushui wants to protect her, even if she is helpless. Ji also wanted to protect her, but he couldn't produce any evidence. The accusation of slandering the imperial concubine was not a small one. After being a country, one must be fair and reasonable in dealing with people and things.

"Nurse Su, please bring a cat out," Feng Nishang asked gently.

Su Momo glanced at the empress, and when she saw the empress nodded, she immediately retreated. Soon, he was standing in the bedroom with a cat in his arms.

A faint fragrance gradually wafted from Feng Nishang's body. When the cat approached Feng Nishang's side, its originally docile personality suddenly became manic. Freed from Madam Su's bondage, she rushed towards Feng Nishang, her four claws opened wide, revealing those extremely sharp claws, with a fierce look on her face.

The Empress and Madam Su were startled when they saw this scene. Seeing that the cat's sharp claws were about to scratch Feng Nishang, the cat's cry was even more shrill, as if it was hissing to a halt. At this moment, Ming Qiushui knocked the cat aside with a wave of his hand.

The cat whimpered and lay motionless on the ground.

"Empress, this should prove something!" Ming Qiushui held Feng Nishang's hand, a pair of black eyes shot a cold light, and he hated the queen a little in his heart. Qiu Shui couldn't see that Feng Nishang was injured in the slightest.

However, Feng Nishang, that idiot, really let her body take risks!
The Empress and Madam Su came back to their senses, only to remember that this cat has always been docile and would never show its teeth and claws like this, but just now it was really so vicious, so manic, and it was unusual.

"What's going on?" The empress said in a deep voice.

Feng Nishang lowered her eyebrows and took out the clothes from her arms, "Empress Empress, do you smell a dark fragrance?"

The empress frowned slightly, "I did smell a dark fragrance, I didn't realize it just now, but it's so strong now.

Thinking of Cai Feng Nishang's actions just now, the Empress Empress seemed to understand immediately, her body was startled suddenly, and she suddenly realized.

"It is this unusual dark fragrance that attracts a large number of beasts," Feng Nishang looked at the empress's reaction.

The Empress's heart tightened, she never thought that Concubine Wan Gui would be so scheming, for a moment, she thought of how much she trusted her, believed that she was kind and had no scheming.Today, after what Feng Nishang said, and the evidence in front of my eyes, I didn't expect to be blindfolded by Concubine Wan Gui, and I have believed her for more than ten years.

Concubine Wan Gui's scheming was so deep, the empress suddenly felt that she had been deceived by her, and annoyance arose in her heart.

"Empress, don't scare the snake with grass." After finishing speaking, a smile bloomed on Feng Nishang's mouth, and she said softly. Today, the empress finally has a gap with Concubine Wan Gui, then the empress empress will not trust Concubine Wan Gui so much, then Brother Wuji may have an easier road to walk.

"This palace understands," the empress had been in charge of the harem for so many years after all, the empress raised her eyebrows and signaled to Feng Nishang that they could leave.

Knowing that her goal had been achieved, Feng Nishang once again cast a glance at Wei Wuji who was on the bed not far away, blessed the empress, and left Qiankun Palace with Ming Qiushui.

Feng Nishang was walking in the palace in the middle of the night, when gusts of cold wind came on her face, which lifted the woman's clothes, and the winter chill penetrated through the clothes, chilling Feng Nishang's body, she felt a shiver all over her body, and couldn't help shivering.

At this time, another gentle hand grasped Feng Nishang's hand, and then felt warmth from her shoulders, a wide cloak fell on Feng Nishang's body, and a man's deep voice sounded beside her ear, "The dew is heavy late at night, be careful of catching a cold."
