Chapter 24

As soon as Mu Xing returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he threw up in a daze.

He pressed his stomach, trying to spit out all the dinner he ate today, but to no avail; he had to pour out the antidote he had prepared from a small porcelain bottle, and swallowed it in one gulp.

When swallowing the medicine, Mu Xing's hands trembled a little: Xiao Zhen is a lunatic, she really wants me to die!

Seeing this, the court lady who was arranged to administer the medicine knowingly asked, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Mu Xing only felt that there was still some turbulence in his stomach, and he endured the nausea and said, "I went to the Queen's Palace for dinner—"

The court lady pretended to exclaim: "Ah! What did the empress say?"

"She should have found out about the poisoning, but she didn't say anything." Mu Xing said with a gloomy face, "I guess she doesn't dare to turn against me. I have plenty of ways to cure her."

"What's your majesty's plan?"

Mu Xing snorted coldly: "Poisoning is definitely not going to work, wait for me to think of a more comprehensive solution..."

Before Mu Xing came up with a perfect plan, he still had to live in Lin Zhen's shadow with his tail between his legs.

In order not to expose the lie he told the queen just now, Mu Xing rested for a while after taking the antidote, and then there was another call from Yu Chuan: "Go to Concubine Shu's Palace."

Concubine Shu was very unhappy about this.

She originally made an appointment with Concubine Xian and the two nobles, and agreed to play cards together tonight, but Mu Xing ran over out of nowhere, not to mention that she couldn't play cards, and had to serve him carefully.Who can stand this?
But she was only depressed for a while, and still put on a professional smile, and welcomed Mu Xing into the hall: "The concubine sees your majesty. Why is your majesty so free to come to my concubine today?"

Wouldn't it be nice to have this time to fight your crickets?

Mu Xing didn't hear Concubine Shu's faint impatience, but felt that Concubine Shu's submissive attitude made him very uncomfortable.

He held Concubine Shu's slender and soft hand, and said: "When I am free occasionally, I want to come and see you. In this palace, you are the only one who wins my heart the most!"

While making tea for Mu Xing, Concubine Shu said softly, "How can this concubine dare to be praised by His Majesty?"

Mu Xing took the tea made for him by Concubine Shu, shook his head and sighed: "If the Empress is half as virtuous as you, I wouldn't be like this—"

Concubine Shu couldn't help frowning: Don't, don't drag me into your quarrel with the queen!I still want to live a few more years!

She quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of this, when the empress sent someone to the concubine's palace today, she said that your majesty was left behind by the empress today and would not come to my palace for dinner—"

Speaking of this, she tugged at the handkerchief with a puzzled expression: "But, Your Majesty didn't agree to come to the concubine's palace to have dinner before?"

Mu Xing suddenly became nervous and asked, "How did you answer?"

Concubine Shu knew something was going on here when she saw his expression, she secretly kept an eye out, and replied: "The concubine said that the concubine knew about it, so the queen doesn't have to care about the concubine."

"That's all you said?"

"Well, the maid left after delivering the message, and didn't ask any more questions."

Mu Xing was relieved, he nodded, and changed the topic: "What kind of person do you think the queen is?"

The direction of this topic is getting more and more dangerous.

Concubine Shu rolled her eyes and said: "I think the Queen is very good, she is kind, virtuous and generous. Your Majesty is really blessed to have a wife like the Queen!"

Mu Xing let out a cold snort through his nose: "You said Xiao Zhen is kind, virtuous, and magnanimous? I think she is arrogant and domineering. She can't recognize her identity. She doesn't take my emperor seriously at all!"

This is also very normal.If I had the skills of a queen, I wouldn't pay attention to such an idiot as you.

Concubine Shu thought so, and comforted Mu Xing, saying: "The empress was born in the general family, and she also made great achievements in the army. She may have a bad temper, but she must respect her majesty in her heart. Why are you so angry? .”

But Mu Xing could no longer listen to such words.

Looking at the gentle and gentle Concubine Shu in front of him, he couldn't help but have a thought that he thought was extremely wonderful——

He held Concubine Shu's hand and asked, "Concubine Ai, do you want to be a queen?"

Concubine Shu was so startled that she almost slapped his hand off: Oh my god, don't hurt me!
She forced a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the Empress has worked so hard, how could Your Majesty have such an idea?"

"I can't stand Xiao Zhen anymore," Mu Xing gritted his teeth and said, "She doesn't see me as an emperor at all. In her heart, I'm just a puppet for her to control the court!"

"Then... what is His Majesty's plan?"

Mu Xing revealed his plan: "In a few days, you will call your mother to the palace, and I will draw up an imperial decree, and you will ask your mother to take the imperial decree out of the palace and give it to your father."

Dude, such a plan!If the queen finds out, let alone Mu Xing's fate, his whole family will also be dragged into trouble by him!
Concubine Shu seemed to see the execution ground where the family was confiscated and the family was wiped out waving to her, so she couldn't help but shuddered.

To confirm, she asked: "Your Majesty, what will be written in the edict?"

Mu Xing looked very proud of his plan, and said, "Naturally, it is the way to order the courtiers to enter the palace to get rid of Xiao Zhen!" For the Queen!"

Concubine Shu didn't like this, she kowtowed on the ground: "I have no talent or virtue, I never dare to have such unreasonable thoughts."

I don't want to be a queen!If this doesn't happen, I'm going to lose my head!Concubine Shu roared inwardly.

Mu Xing only thought that Concubine Shu was playing hard to get, stretched out his hand to pull her up, and continued to describe his plan to her.

Concubine Shu watched him talk about his plan in confusion, and secretly made up her mind.

The night of this day was extraordinarily long.

Concubine Shu was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.Thinking about what Mu Xing said, she felt as if a needle was pricking her back, so she kept her eyes open until dawn.

The queen should have gone to court by now, right?She silently counted the time in her heart: I heard that the Empress would go to the imperial study room to approve the memorials after she went to court at noon every day, so she could go to the imperial study room to find her at that time.

But she didn't expect that Mu Xing could sleep until noon.

Concubine Shu looked at Mu Xing who was lying on the bed in a drowsy sleep, she couldn't help but gritted her teeth, reluctantly stepped forward to push him, and said softly, "Your Majesty, it's time to get up."

Mu Xing was suddenly awakened, his mind was still a little confused, and he yelled angrily: "Presumptuous! Who dares to disturb my clear dream, pull it down and behead it!"

Concubine Shu knelt down with a "plop".

"Your Majesty forgive me."

Mu Xing sat up, rubbed his temples, and finally remembered: he is now in Concubine Shu's Palace, and he still has something to ask Concubine Shu to do!
He hurriedly got up and helped Concubine Shu up, "Aifei, get up quickly. Oh, I fell asleep in a daze, I forgot that Aifei is here, don't take it to heart."

Concubine Shu gave him a considerate smile.

She dressed Mu Xing meekly, and then helped him to wash up. By the way, she accidentally mentioned that someone in the palace got a big new cricket.

As soon as Mu Xing heard the news, he obviously couldn't sit still. He only took a few bites of food in Concubine Shu's Palace, and hurried to the Imperial Garden.

After finally sending Mu Xing away, Concubine Shu hurriedly sent the sedan chair, "Quick, I'm going to the imperial study!"
