invincible ugly queen

Chapter 64: Encountering Bei Gongxie (2)
"I like it—" Seeing her preparing delicious and delicate food for herself, and waiting for her to come, she couldn't help but feel sweet. She picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and fed it into her mouth, chewing and saying: " Well, delicious, delicious."

"Brother Beiyan, eat more if you like—"

"Don't worry, I won't be polite to you—" He cleared most of the osmanthus cakes on the plate, reached for the jujube cake, and asked with blinking eyes while waving his hands: " You are so kind to me today, is there anything you can ask me for help?"

Being told about the central matter, Nangong Wanqing thought of her father who was suffering in the Punishment Department, and lightly parted her cherry lips and asked, "My father was imprisoned by the emperor, do you know?"

"This.... I've heard a little about it...." Bei Yanming's eyes shook slightly. If she knew that the person sitting in front of her, the person she was trying to please now, was involved in the plan to frame him and her father, wouldn't she? He will be so kind to himself, and try his best to stabilize the panic in his heart.

"I think you can walk freely in the palace, there is... Is it possible to help me rescue my father?"

"Uh——" the pastry was instantly stuck in the throat, coughing several times in a row and unable to speak: "You mean, you mean..."

"Yes, that's right, prison robbery—" Nangong Wanqing told him firmly what was in her heart, and looked at him quietly with a pair of big black and white eyes.

What?He heard it right, the queen in front of him actually said to rob the prison and asked him to go to the prison, not to mention that he is the emperor's man, even ordinary people can't intercept the Department of Punishment, this really stumped him, Looking at her hopeful eyes, Bei Yanming didn't know how to answer, but could only ask: "Why did you rob the prison? Hasn't the emperor not convicted you yet? What if it turns out that the regent is innocent."

"I don't know, even if I feel that I have a very ominous premonition, this premonition is very strong, as if something will really happen to the father. Moreover, there are turmoil in the court. I will fall into a situation that will never be restored. It is not a day's cold to freeze three feet. My father's position in the court has always been stable. If such an accident happens suddenly, and my brother is not around, I am afraid it will be difficult to withdraw. It's hard to get a foothold on the court. My only thought now is to hope that my father will stay away from the court, be isolated from the world, and enjoy his old age peacefully..."

"I know that my idea may be immature, a little lacking in consideration, and even...even you can't do it. After all, it is a prison in the palace with strict guards. I rashly ask you to take risks for me. It really shouldn't be..."

When it came to the end, Nangong Wanqing's voice became smaller and smaller, almost to a whisper, but it still fell into the ears of Bei Yanming who was listening carefully.Indeed, her premonition was right, since the emperor has captured the regent Nan Gonglie, he has no intention of letting him go easily...Suddenly, a bright light flashed in her mind, what she said was right, as long as the regent is allowed to live in seclusion?If the regent really escaped, the matter of corruption and bribery would be tantamount to acquiescing, and there is no way to gain a foothold in the court. It can not only solve the emperor's doubts, but also save her life, without hurting her so deeply...

"Okay, let's do it like this—" Bei Yanming suddenly slapped the table and stood up, firmly holding Nangong Wanqing's shoulders with both hands, and said excitedly: "I promise you, as long as it is your request, I will agree you."

Nangong Wanqing was shocked suddenly, and was deeply impressed by his friendship with her. In the end, all the excitement and gratitude turned into a clear smile and three words: "Thank you——"

After the two discussed how to rob the prison and save the regent, Bei Yanming reluctantly left Fengyi Palace.

After Bei Yanming left, Nangong Wanqing stared blankly at the empty window and the still bright moonlight for a while, then slowly went to bed and fell asleep.
