Chapter 21 Point of no Return (2)

“If you said you are xiao jia who is in distress from some family, maybe ben gongzi will accept you as a concubine because you are so beautiful. But you said that you are Nie Wushuang makes it difficult for me to help you. With todays happening on Nie’s Clan entire family that  has been confiscated and executed, made you a wanted criminal.” With his hand on his chin, he smile and said, “Hiding a wanted criminal, will be sentenced by beheaded!”

“Gongzi doesn’t believe that I’m Nie Wushuang?” She felt that her plan had been defeated under his eyes.

“If I believe you, what did I get?” His voice was cold, but still pleasant.

“I…” Nie Wushuang felt hopeless, this was a crazy idea that passed through her heart.

She threw herself at his feet and trembled: “If gongzi take me in, Wushuang knows many royal secrets of Qi State, the defense mapping of the  frontier, the relation of officials, and lots of other things. Wushuang know that wang ye make a trip here, will have something important to do, Wushuang will risk her life for wang ye!”

She looked at his handsome and enchanting face. He was the last flame of hope. As long as he was willing to take her in, she will do anything.

Now in her eyes and mind, she wants to settle this bloody debt. For a chance of revenge, she can betray Qi!

She imagined more than a thousand times that one day Gu Qinghong will kneel at her feet and cry bitterly. She wanted him to regret what he had done!

She wants to find out who framed her Nie’s Clan! Then make that person suffer hundred times more pain!

In the rainy night, the sound of wheels spun on the empty road, but inside  the carriage was silence..

The man suddenly laughed and said, “You mean that you’re going to betray Qi state?”

“Yes!” Nie Wushuang looked up at him suddenly. In the darkness, her eyes reflected the light outside the carriage, which was blindingly bright: “Nie’s family was framed, all the properties has been confiscated  and the entire family was exterminated, I have no kith and kin or mournful for Qi!”

He was silent for a long time and suddenly said, “You just called me wang ye. You called me by the wrong name.”

“No, I did not. Two or three days ago, Wushuang have known Wang Ye’s identity since I met you at that abandoned temple” said Nie Wushuang confidently.

“Oh? What do you know ?” Suddenly he laughed, “If I was really wang ye, so who am I exactly? Speak, if what you say is correct, then I will take you in,  but if you can’t say anything, don’t blame me for being ruthless.

Nie Wushuang suddenly think of that night, she guessed his identity by the dragon’s embroidery on the man’s shoes in that abandoned temple, but as for who he was…

She could not help staring at the man’s strange eyes, trying to recall what her father said to her.

“From here, there’s only one ke (27) before we arrive at my friend’s yuan. (28) If you can’t think of it, ben gongzi will call Ah Si…” then he didn’t say more.

Nie Wushuang think for a while, her beautiful eyes showed a self-confidence, “You are the Fifth Prince of Ying state. Surname’s Xiao. Name’s Fengqing. You are Xiao Fengqing!”

“How did you know that?” Xiao Fengqing smiled and did not reprimand her for calling his secret name.

“In the dilapidated temple, although wang ye tried to hide your identity, but the dragon’s embroidery on your shoes shows your prince’s identity. Your ankle boots are higher than the shoes of Qi State showed that you are Ying people. Only the weather of Ying State is colder than Qi State, so shoes are generally made like boots.” Nie Wushuang analyzed, “Your eyes are amber. Among the prince of Ying state, only the fifth prince that…”

Suddenly she shut up and dare not to say anymore.

Chapter 24 Beautiful as Sword (1)

Nie Wushuang was stunned: “What is it?”

“You will know when you get there.” Xiao Fengqing closed his long, narrow eyes like tiredness: “Help me changes the clothes, I am going to sleep.”

Nie Wushuang could only get up, and clumsily untie his robe. A faint male scent came into her nose. Her face turned red, when she looked up, saw his eyes squinted and looking at her embarrassment with interest.

“Haven’t you ever helped changed clothes for another man?” He suddenly asked.

Nie Wushuang’s face changed slightly, tightening her lips but her hands could not help but tremble.

This was the first time that she had served a man who was not ‘Gu Qinghong.’

Her jaw suddenly felt slightly hot, her face had been raised by his fingers, forcing her to look into his eyes directly. The strange deep amber eyes seemed like a whirlpool, after a long time, her heart was almost drawn in.

“You are angry.” Xiao Fengqing looked into her eyes and said, “Your abhorrence is so obvious that anyone who looks at it knows that you still hate Gu Qinghong. This abhorrence is not only useless but also endangered you.”

Nie Wushuang hardened her voice: “What kind of hatred will be useful.”

“You have to smile. The more you hate, the more you have to have smile on your face, the more you smile will make people don’t know what you are thinking, and then slowly give him a death blow.” Xiao Fengqing slowly bowed his head, he was so close that almost sniffed at each other.

She smelled the faint scent of wine from his mouth along with a manly smell of his body, A handsome and charming like the devil face was close at hand, she looked at him without blinking.

“Smile?” She seemed to  understand, and looked at him sweetly. Suddenly, she smiled: “Wushuang’s understand.”

Her smile was like a poisonous flower, hidden with nobility and arrogance in her beauty, like a night of spring weathering thousands of frosts.

“That’s right.” Xiao Fengqing nodded satisfactorily, dropped a light kiss on her face and whispered something to her: “You have to know that your appearance is a weapon. Killing people without using a sword.”

The next day.

Chun Zhi was in the room. She was envious, stared at the things on the lacquer plate, various hairpins, and a set of a very light, thin and beautiful clothes.

The wet nurse stared at Nie Wushuang with her muddy old eyes then passing on a message, “Lord ordered you to pick up some jewelry and set off at night.”

“Yes.” Nie Wushuang bows her head with saying.

A wet nurse turned away when she finished her words. Chun Zhi waited until her figure disappeared, which made her humph sourly. Naturally Nie Wushuang knew that she was jealous, smiled and took a golden hairpin from the lacquer plate and stuffed it in her hand.

“Sister Chun Zhi, I think this one is suitable for you, so I’ll give it to you.”

“This… How did I do that?” Chun Zhi was shocked and hesitate to take it. “Lord has given you this.”

Nie Wushuang does not care about it, she smiled: “Giving a gift to me, then it is mine. You and I are  both sisters that will serve the Lord in the future. From now on, I will have to pay more attention to my sister.”

When Chun Zhi listened, she laughed cheerfully and took it.

Nie Wushuang saw her rejoicing and grinned, carelessly mention: “I don’t know where Our Lord would go tonight.”

“You don’t know? Tonight, the Lord will go to General Zhou Ning’s banquet.” Chun Zhi was eager to wear a hairpin and said it without hesitation.

Nie Wushuang’s heart jumped fiercely: “General Zhou Ning?!”

Chapter 20 Point of No Return (1)

Rain kept falling, Nie Wushuang stared at the door of the inn, her body had a fever, but her mind was very clear.

Heaven had mercy, let her met that man in this situation, it seems that her life shouldn’t end here!

Nie Wushuang rubbed her face timidly in the rain, which washed away the soil on her face and exposed her white and greasy skin. The appearance that beautiful overthrew the city ruined the state gradually appeared.

You are reading at teatimetranslate. If you read this novel on the other web. It was theft. Do not support them.

She’s waiting for a chance.

Half of Shi Chen later, the door of the inn suddenly opened, and a group of people came out. An oil-paper umbrella covered the man tightly, not a single drop of rain could slip in.

The man got into the carriage, several pure black horses snorted, raising their hoofs, ran forward under the driver’s whip.

This was the chance!

Nie Wushuang rushed to the carriage and shouted, “Xiao Nv has important thing, begging Wang Ye for an audience!”

A Large horse carriage that height as a human with strong active fine horses. Seeing someone rush in, its whine, hoofs raised, split second, it heavily trampled on her body.

The coachman suddenly whistled, and the horse suddenly stood up, moving its legs away from a few steps, dropped itself down.

“Don’t you want to live?” When the coachman saw that she almost trampled to death, he rushed angrily to her and twisted her collar. Cold murderous aura came out of his eyes.

“Wang Ye! Wang Ye! ” Nie Wushuang gritted her teeth, closed her eyes and shouted, “Xiao Nv asked an audience to see Wang Ye!”

The coachman’s face changed: “Where’s the wang ye? You are talking nonsense!”

“Ah Si, let her in.” The sweet and lazy voice sounded came from the carriage, “I am not a wang ye, this guniang must be sick so she talked a nonsense.”

The coachman was astonished and seems uncertain, only dragged Nie Wushuang to the front of a carriage. “Zhu Shang, it was she, who frightened our horse. And yet still speak nonsense.”

“Xiao Nv doesn’t talk nonsense!” the rain still fell, Nie Wushuang couldn’t help blinking her eyes several times and staring at the curtain. She lowered her voice: “Xiao Nv asks an audience to see wang ye of Ying state!”

“Oh?” The curtain of the carriage remained motionless, and the languid and enchanting voice was still careless: “Who are you?”

Nie Wushuang’s heart jumped up, “I am Nie Wushuang. My father is Nie Weicheng, Big Brother is Nie Minghu, Second Brother named Nie Mingzheng…” Her voice was sobbing but the carriage was still silent.

“Come in.” A sighing voice crossed her ear.

Nie Wushuang felt relax, struggled to climb into the carriage.

“Ah Si, let’s go. This place could not stay long.” The curtain opened a crack and a pair of white palms stretched out to Nie Wushuang. His hand was white like feminine but still strong, masculine and noble, made people could not belittle him.

Nie Wushuang stunned. He grasped her cold hand. With a little effort, the warmth of the carriage rushed towards her, and with a glimmer of light, she finally saw the handsome but strange face.

He reclined on the cushion in the carriage, his hair like ink, his amber eyes like a glaze, looking at her then smiled: “Guniang is the prime minister’s furen of Qi state – Nie Wushuang?”

He gently stroked the white fox fur on his shoulder, his expression was undisciplined, “How do you make me believe you?”

Nie Wushuang was so cold that she could not speak. Suddenly he bent down and lifted her jaw up. His eyes squinted. “Your face is not bad, either.”

Translator’s talks corner:

This is the last chapter for this week. I have a seminar tomorrow and Sunday.

I’m so tired. This week in my real life is worse. But on the internet is the worst. My novel ranks lower than copycats on search engine if they are the translator themselves (you replace me by translated it.) Thx to google.

My site now is free with no ads because I do not know if I like to translate or not. I have two personality that if I like I can do it till end. If not I will abandon it without looking back.

Paying a price for this is not my first option. Because in my real life I used to trash out a large sum of my money for nothing. With no gain. What a waste. If I do not pay this site or no one help me to pay for it, will be long gone. Like the others translator sites. Copycats win.

I would like to thanks everyone that add this novel to your reading list, rate this novel and someone for searching LCD this novel. But I do not post a thread on NU. Also no spoilers from me.

Have a good weekend.

Chapter 19 Beheaded (2)

The people who came from nowhere gathered around watched a play, pointed and cursed to the people in the prison car. She felt as if her limbs were irrigated by sand, could not move a step.

The prisoner car rumbled, Nie Wushuang was agape and tongue-tied, her mind was blank, her tears fell as if there was no end, she was pushed by the crowd, fell and climbed again, caught up, fell again, and then climbed…

Repeatedly, the prison car finally stopped.

She looked at the execution ground and finally collapsed to the ground.

“By the mandate of heaven (22), His Majesty ordered: Nie Weicheng…” The eunuch’s shrill voice travelled far, what words he was speaking, she could not hear anything. She only looked at her father’s old face with tears, her second brother, her third brother… They looked as if they had accepted their fate.

No, it shouldn’t be like this, no!

Nie Wushuang wanted to shout, even she shouted, no word came out from her throat.

The midday sun on spring was warm, but she did not feel the warmth.

Many years later, every spring, she refused to go out, she was afraid that this March’s will reveal her deadly repression in the heart of the bloodiest scene.

“Behead!” The long, white hand was raised and again. Gu Qinghong also stood on the execution ground. His face still no expression.

She opened her eyes wide and there was blood spatter in front of her…

Rain in the spring season was the most lingering, the patter was non-stop, the rain washes the stone ground, the red blood flooded, penetrated into the ground, there was no trace left.

She sat under the rain curtain as if she was foolish and dumb. The sky was dark, all the lives and deaths were hidden in the dark sky.

For a long time, she struggled to stand up, her body was soaked, only her eyes were bright and scary. She walked step by step to the stone still had a scent of blood, stared carefully for a long time.

Looking up, thousands of rains fell, she suddenly laughed “Heaven, today, I, Nie Wushuang swears to you, if I don’t die, I will come back again, Blood must pay by blood!”

“Gu Qinghong, if I don’t die, when I come back, I will make you pay for this bloody debt!”

“If I don’t die…”

“Blood filled the door. Haha…”

Her voice echoed on the empty streets, and she laughed wildly and went away into the night.

“Granma, open the door.” She knocked on the old lady’s door. When the old woman opened the door and saw that it was her, she could not help exclaiming, “Guniang, what are you doing…”

Nie Wushuang’s face was pale, but her eyes were red as ghosts.

“Granny” Nie Wushuang was already cold and shivering, the rain fell down her hair, and her bloated clothes clung to her exquisite body, which was even thinner.

“Guniang, I’ve heard about it, you need to find someone…” The old woman said quickly.

Nie Wushuang listened carefully, suddenly knelt and knocked her head heavily many times: “Granma, you save my life, In the future, I would repay your great grace.”

When she finished, she took out a few golds and put them in the old woman’s hand, and turned and left.

“Guniang. Where are you going?” The old woman asked in a hurry.

“I want to revenge!” She smiled back and said: “For all my life, I will make them pay for what they did!”

Chapter 18 Beheaded (1)

“Shen Rumei is your excuse to cast me out, isn’t it?”

“The abortion medicine is what you’ve done in the first place, right?”

“My father is framed by you, isn’t it?”

She sneered and approached step by step. Gu Qinghong’s face is gradually changing. He knew that she was intelligent, no one could compare to her, but the human heart is so strange that she always knew it but still disgraceful state.

Nie Wushuang’s face was discomposure, but a pair of beautiful eyes like sharp poisonous arrows, one by one shot through his heart.

“I won’t ask you why you do all this, Gu Qinghong. I have never begged you. But for my father, I come here today to ask you please consider our good relationship in the past, let me see my father!”

Tears fell on her face, but her figure was still straight, as if there was an unyielding pride in her weak body: “I’m not here to ask for silver. You can divorce me, you can force me to kill our child… But you can’t insult me like that. You can’t!”

The atmosphere suddenly freezing, Gu Qinghong was shocked, a trace of fatigue flew through his eyes: “Take it, once we are husband and wife…”

Nie Wushuang reached out and knocked off the silver bag in his hand, and all silver fell to the ground.

You are reading at teatimetranslate. If you read this novel on the other web. It was theft. Do not support them.

She suddenly giggled: “The past poverty-stricken Gu Qinghong, now know to used money to send people away. A couple, you have remembered that we are husband and wife. But you remember that when I married you on that day, what did you say? You said that your husband and wife will grow old until our hair turns white, you will never betray me… Of course, this is just a joke for you… Funny, I have a little forlorn hope for you that you can help me.”

She looked at his eyes and her sneered like a knife: “Gu Qinghong, you are heartless. Kill your child, couldn’t you still eat or sleep?”

She looked up at the teahouse and smiled coldly: “It seems that you will not, you have a leisure time to come here for tea. That means you don’t care at all. Gu Qinghong, I wish you a long life. If the Nie family is executed by the emperor, their soul will come to you at night asking for your life! Haha…”

When she finished, she turned and walked away. Walking and laughing all the way, seemed like a madman.

“Lord, this…” The servant hesitated to come forward and said, “His Excellency, do you want me to catch her and send her to the prison?”

Gu Qinghong closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “No need!” When he opened his eyes, Nie Wushuang’s figure had long gone, what she had just said, her criticised words still tore his heart.

Child…his child… Under his long sleeves, he clenched his hand into a fist, and there was a place in his heart that was falling apart.

His wife, his children… were all ruined by him.

---

On the third day, Nie Wushuang stared at the mighty stone lion of the ministry of punishment, endured a slight of fever and coldness in her body, hiding into the corner.

Suddenly, a large group of royal guards poured out of the prison. The prison car came out and roared. She suddenly stood up and saw several people covered with blood.

At one glance, she was about to faint and staggered, almost falling to the ground if she did not lean against the wall. Her father’s face was covered with blood, her second brother, her third brother’s iron shackles were added to their body, their faces were dull and aimless, their feet were heavy.

Her tears fell, leaning against the wall, and her fingers almost dug into the cracks of the wall.
