Chapter 23 The general heroine who has been in the cold palace (11)
Mu Xing felt anxious all the way to Fenghui Palace.
As soon as he stepped into the palace, Lin Zhen rarely looked coldly at him. He smiled at him and said, "Your Majesty is here, please take a seat."
She actually said please!
Mu Xing felt a little touched in his heart: The queen didn't scold me, she was so kind to me...
But he was still a little restless while sitting in the chair. He hesitated for a while and asked in a low voice: "Queen, why did you call me here today?"
The queen seemed surprised by the question he asked. She pursed her lips and smiled and said, "What? If there is nothing, can't I see your majesty?"
Mu Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
He said gently: "Yes, of course you can. The queen can see me whenever she wants."
The queen was indeed very satisfied with this answer. She nodded gently, and then said to the palace attendant standing beside her: "Pass the meal around."
"yes."
Pass the meal?
Mu Xing was suddenly shocked: Xiao Zhen's dinner was poisoned by himself!
He quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Queen, I have agreed to have dinner in Concubine Shu's palace today, so I won't stay any longer."
"Oh?" Lin Zhen frowned, "Your Majesty has just been here for a while, why are you leaving in such a hurry? The same goes for going to Concubine Shu's palace after dinner."
After saying that, she turned and nodded to a palace maid, "Bai Lu, go and tell Concubine Shu that Your Majesty will not be dining in her palace today."
After doing this, she turned sideways and looked at Mu Xing, "Your Majesty, please stay and have dinner before leaving."
Mu Xing felt as if his throat was being strangled and he couldn't make any sound. He sadly thought to himself: Do you have the right to say no to me?
Lin Zhen was also a little tired from acting. She suppressed the smile on her face, so there was a faint murderous look in her eyebrows. Mu Xing was frightened when she saw it: What should I do? Does she know something?
He could only give in and say: "Okay, I'll leave after dinner."
Dishes were placed one after another like a stream of water. Every time the waiter placed one, Mu Xing's heart jumped twice: Which dish was poisoned?
Lin Zhen now seemed like a gentle and virtuous queen. She took a chopstick of duck stuffed with glutinous rice and put it into Mu Xing's bowl: "Your Majesty, please use it."
Mu Xing's scalp was numb, and he stiffly handed a piece of duck stuffed with glutinous rice to Lin Zhen: "The queen will eat it too."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Zhen put the piece of duck meat aside and said, "I don't like duck, please eat it, Your Majesty."
When Mu Xing saw this move, this atmosphere, and this glutinous rice stuffed duck, there was something wrong!
He pushed the duck meat away guiltily and said with an embarrassed smile: "Haha, what a coincidence. I don't like duck either, so why not remove this dish?"
"Yeah." Lin Zhen waved his hand and said, "Get rid of this duck stuffed with glutinous rice."
The palace attendant carefully took away the plate of duck meat.
Lin Zhen looked at Mu Xing again, "What would your Majesty want to eat? I'll pick up some food for you."
"No, no, no!" Mu Xing waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't worry about me, the queen can eat by herself."
"How can that be done?" Lin Zhen put another meatball into his bowl, "Your Majesty, try this meatball. It's smooth, tender and fragrant, and it melts in your mouth -"
"No, I, I don't like eating this thick oily red sauce..."
"How about some wild rice noodles?"
"No, no, no, this... this is too bland..."
Lin Zhen put down his chopsticks and looked at him coldly: "Your Majesty, why don't you eat this or that? You don't look down on the food in Fenghui Palace?"
"No, it's not." Mu Xing's hands shook, and he looked around and picked out a fish fillet cooked in vinegar, "I can just eat this. Queen, you can eat too."
"Your Majesty, eat first."
Mu Xing gritted his teeth: Anyway, it's not a poison that can seal the throat when blood is seen. After eating, find a place to spit it out and take some antidote!
He closed his eyes and swallowed the fish fillet heartily, and smiled reluctantly: "Yes, it's delicious. Queen, you can try it too."
Lin Zhen glanced at him lightly and said to the waiter behind him: "What are you doing here? Go and serve His Majesty."
Mu Xing's smile froze.
But while Lin Zhen was picking and choosing the dishes, he looked at him with such terrifying eyes. Mu Xing felt that his legs were shaking a little, and he could only tearfully eat the dishes that the eunuch put into his bowl.
It has to be clean.
After eating for a while, Mu Xing put down the bowl and chopsticks tremblingly and said, "I'm full."
Lin Zhen also put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth slowly with a silk handkerchief, and said, "Your Majesty's appetite is really small."
"Yes, yes," Mu Xing nodded quickly, "I have never paid much attention to food and drink..."
Lin Zhen put the silk pa on the table and continued: "I heard that His Majesty is very concerned about my diet. He also sent people to the imperial kitchen to watch the imperial chefs cooking, and added a lot of good things to it..."
Mu Xing slumped on the chair, his hands and feet weak: It's over, she knows!
"For example, the dragon tendons in that bowl of soup are crisp, tough and smooth. I like it very much. It is rare to find such a big sturgeon in this season. Your Majesty, after receiving such a tribute, actually thought of giving it to me to try first.
Taste it, I’m really happy.”
"I can't swallow such a good thing to myself, so I wanted to invite your majesty to come and have a taste." Lin Zhen sighed regretfully, "Who would have thought that your majesty has a poor appetite..."
Mu Xing was a little unable to react, but he understood very well, so he got off the donkey and said with a stern look on his face: "I don't have such a good taste, as long as the queen eats it and feels good about it. This is what I should do."
"However, your majesty should not interfere with my meals in the future." Lin Zhen smiled slightly and said: "I am a more cautious person, and my meals are prepared by trusted confidants. What did your majesty suddenly put in my meals?
If it were something, I would have thought——"
She whispered in Mu Xing's ear: "Your Majesty wants to murder me."
Mu Xing suddenly broke out in cold sweat!
He stood up and defended: "I never meant that!"
Lin Zhen said slowly: "Of course I know what your majesty means," her eyes circled the dishes on the table, and her tone could not tell whether she was happy or angry, "otherwise, how could I invite your majesty to come and have dinner with me?"
Woolen cloth?"
She must have known! Mu Xing screamed crazily in his heart, Xiao Zhen asked me to come over just to retaliate in kind!
Lin Zhen was very satisfied with the way he was trembling with fear.
She stared into Mu Xing's eyes and said, "Your Majesty, my temper is not very good, so I don't want anyone in the palace to cause trouble for me anymore, do you understand?"
This sentence is almost explicit.
Mu Xing also understood, and immediately nodded his head like pecking rice, and responded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand!"
"Your Majesty still has to go to Concubine Shu's Palace, so I won't stay with you any longer." Lin Zhen sat on the chair without moving, and dismissed Mu Xing perfunctorily, "Send you off to your Majesty."
As if he had finally escaped from the devil's cave, Mu Xing jumped up from his seat and said, "Stop and go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation!"
