Chapter 23

Mu Xing walked all the way to Fenghui Palace with anxiety.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, it was rare for Lin Zhen to show him a cold face. He smiled at him and said, "Your Majesty is coming, please sit down."

She even said please!
Mu Xing felt a little moved in his heart: The queen didn't scold me, she was so kind to me...

But he was still a little restless sitting on the chair, hesitated for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Queen, what's the matter for calling me here today?"

The queen seemed surprised by the question he asked, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Why? There's nothing wrong, so I can't see Your Majesty?"

Mu Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

He said softly, "Yes, of course. The Queen can see me whenever she wants."

The queen was really satisfied with this answer, she nodded lightly, and then said to the palace servants standing beside her, "Let's pass on the meal."

"Yes."

Chuan meal?

Mu Xing was shocked immediately: Xiao Zhen's dinner was poisoned by himself!
He quickly stood up and said with a sneer: "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 just came here for a while, what are you doing in such a hurry? It's the same when you go to Concubine Shu's Palace after dinner."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head and nodded to a court lady, "Bai Lu, go and tell Concubine Shu that His Majesty will not be eating in her palace today."

After doing this, she turned to look at Mu Xing, "Your Majesty, please stay and have dinner before leaving."

Mu Xing felt as if his throat was being choked, unable to make any sound, and thought sadly: Do you have the right to refuse me?

Lin Zhen was also a little tired from acting. She restrained the smile on her face, so there was a faint murderous look between her brows and eyes, which made Mu Xing tremble with fear: What should I do? Does she know something?
He could only succumb and said: "Okay, I will leave after dinner."

One after another dishes were placed on the table like flowing water.Every time the waiter served a dish, Mu Xing's heart beat twice: Which dish was poisoned!
Lin Zhen looked like a gentle and virtuous queen at the moment, she picked up a chopstick of rice stuffed with duck and put it in Mu Xing's bowl: "Your Majesty, please use it."

Mu Xing's scalp was numb, and he also stiffly picked up a piece of glutinous rice stuffed duck for Lin Zhen: "The queen eats it too."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Zhen pushed the piece of duck meat aside, and said, "I don't like ducks, so please eat it, Your Majesty."

Mu Xing saw this move, this atmosphere, there is something wrong with this duck stuffed with glutinous rice!
He pushed the duck meat away with a guilty conscience, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Haha, what a coincidence, I don't like duck either, why don't I remove this dish."

"Yes." Lin Zhen waved his hand and said, "Take this duck stuffed with glutinous rice away."

The palace man carefully took the plate of duck away.

Lin Zhen looked at Mu Xing again, "What do you want to eat, Your Majesty? I'll bring you food."

"No, no, no!" Mu Xing waved his hands again and again, "Don't worry about me, the queen can eat by herself."

"Then how can I do it?" Lin Zhen put another ball into his bowl, "Your Majesty, try this ball, it's smooth, tender and fragrant, it melts in your mouth—"

"No, I, I don't like to eat this thick red sauce..."

"How about some soy rice?"

"No, no, this... this is too bland..."

Lin Zhen put down his chopsticks, his eyes were cold: "Your Majesty, why don't you eat this or that? You don't like the food of my Fenghui Palace?"

"No, no," Mu Xing shook his hands, looked left and right to pick out a piece of vinegared fish fillet, "I'll just eat this. Empress, you can eat it too."

"Your Majesty eat first."

Mu Xing gritted his teeth: Anyway, it's not a poison that seals the throat with blood. After eating it later, find a place to spit it out, and then take some antidote and forget it!

He closed his eyes and swallowed the fish fillet cruelly, and smiled reluctantly: "Not bad, it's delicious. Queen, you should try it too."

Lin Zhen glanced at him lightly, and said to the waiter behind him: "What are you doing in a daze, go and serve His Majesty for dinner."

Mu Xing's smile froze.

But while Lin Zhen was choosing and ordering people to serve vegetables, while looking at him with that terrifying look, Mu Xing felt his legs trembling a little, so he could only eat the vegetables that the eunuch put into his bowl with tears in his eyes. 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 hastily, "I have never paid attention to my appetite..."

Lin Zhen put Sipa on the table, and continued: "I heard that His Majesty is very concerned about my diet, and even sent people to the imperial dining room to watch the imperial chefs cook, and added a lot of good things to it..."

Mu Xing slumped on the chair, his hands and feet were weak: It's over, she knows!

"For example, the dragon tendon in that bowl of soup is crispy, tough and smooth. I like it very much. It is rare to find such a big sturgeon in this season. After getting such a tribute, His Majesty actually thought of giving it to me to taste first. Taste, I'm really glad."

"I can't swallow such a good thing by myself, so I want to invite Your Majesty to come and taste it together." Lin Zhen sighed regretfully, "Who knows that Your Majesty has a poor appetite..."

Mu Xing was a bit overwhelmed, but he understood very well that he got off the donkey and said with a straight face, "It's because I don't have this kind of food, as long as the queen feels good after eating. This is what I should do."

"However, Your Majesty should not interfere with my meal in the future." Lin Zhen smiled slightly: "As for me, I am more cautious, and the food is prepared by a trustworthy confidant. What did Your Majesty put in my meal suddenly? If anything, I'd think—"

She whispered in Mu Xing's ear, "Your Majesty wants to murder me."

Mu Xing broke out in a cold sweat!
He stood up abruptly, and argued: "I have absolutely no intention of that!"

Lin Zhen said slowly: "Of course I know what Your Majesty means." Her eyes circled the dishes on the table, and her tone made people unable to hear the joy or anger, "Otherwise, why would I invite Your Majesty to come and have dinner together? Woolen cloth?"

She must know!Mu Xing yelled crazily in his heart, Xiao Zhen asked me to come here, just wanting to retaliate!

Lin Zhen was very satisfied with the way he was trembling with fright.

She stared into Mu Xing's eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I have a bad temper, so I don't want anyone in the palace to trouble me again, understand?"

This sentence is almost explicit.

Mu Xing also understood, and immediately nodded his head like pecking rice, and said repeatedly: "I understand, I understand!"

"Isn't Your Majesty still going to Concubine Shu's Palace? I won't keep Your Majesty any longer." Lin Zhen sat on the chair without moving, and dismissed Mu Xing perfunctorily, "Send off Your Majesty."

Mu Xing bounced up from the seat as if he was finally able to escape from the devil's lair, "Show the car, go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation!"
