Heartless Phoenix Queen - C214
It was still Murong Xiu’s turn to eat dinner with Zi Yuan that night. The head steward of the imperial kitchens was still very happy. After all, what he feared the most was when Zi Yuan was eating only a little food by himself, he didn’t know what to do. He didn’t know if this empress didn’t like what he made, or if she was sick or something.
The head steward of the imperial kitchens was Helian’s man. Every day, he would write a secret report to the Profound Wings of Helian through the Dark Guard, telling him what his beloved empress had eaten today, and whether she had eaten seriously. The empress had eaten very little in the past, so he had no idea how to write a report.
Fortunately, in the past two days, the empress had suddenly thought it through and decided to have a meal with the only guest in the palace. As the chief steward of the royal kitchen, he did not care whether the regent of Westward was a man to be on his guard against, but he was relieved that his queen could eat and eat and be well every day as his king expected. As such, he was very grateful to the guest called Mu Rong Xiu.
Mu Rong Xiu hadn’t drunk much today. Although he was still recovering from his injuries, he was already feeling much better. He hadn’t eaten his fill last night, so although he managed to fall asleep due to the alcohol, he was very hungry in the morning. Thus, tonight, he also ate his dinner in big mouthfuls.
Zi Yuan suddenly laughed as he carried his bowl. “I just thought, when my son grows up, will he also eat in front of me with his mouth wide open?”
Murong Xiu stopped his chopsticks and looked at the woman in front of him who had started to have a mother’s love for him. He didn’t respond to her words. After all, a woman was still a woman! A woman who had a heart of stone would always be soft in front of her own child!
When they were almost done eating, Murong Xiu suddenly said, “How about you let me raise your child?”
“In your dreams!” Zi Yuan immediately refused.
“Then why did you have to ask me how to raise a child first!” Mu Rong Xiu felt wronged as he called out.
“Consulting is counseling. Consulting doesn’t mean that we should raise the child for you, okay!?” Why should I raise Helian’s child for you? ” Ziyuan was now like a lioness protecting her son.
“It’s not like I can’t explain how I took care of the child. Since I can’t explain it, I decided to take action.” Murong Xiu defended himself.
“You are a great schemer. Don’t you know how to bring up a child? I don’t believe it! ” Zi Yuan turned around and prepared to leave. “Alright, let’s continue fighting tomorrow!” I’m leaving! ”
After a night of silence, Murong Xiu lay on his bed and thought about the person he could have peeped on during the day. After some thought, he concluded that only the young duke of Dongping Kingdom, Feng Lingxue, was the most suspicious. He had mixed some of his original martial arts techniques with the Heaven Arts Grimoire and with Zi Yuan’s aptitude, he should be able to separate and break them apart. As Feng Lingxue did not use the Beginner’s Heaven Arts, she would not be able to memorize these martial arts techniques for a short period of time. After making up his mind, Murong Xiu fell asleep.
On the afternoon of the second day, when Zi Yuan and Murong Xiu fought, they discovered the changes in him and a look of astonishment appeared in their eyes. Murong Xiu winked at her, and Zi Yuan immediately understood what he meant.
When it was almost evening, that familiar gaze could be felt again. After the two of them exchanged blows like before, Murong Xiu suddenly hugged Zi Yuan. The two of them exchanged places. Murong Xiu sent a burst of force forward with his right hand, then he sent a spell of his left hand towards Zi Yuan.
The Violet Garden borrowed Murong Xiu’s strength to quickly arrive at the location where the muffled groan came from. The longsword was placed against the peeping man’s neck as Murong Xiu followed and used his fingers to brush aside the person’s mask — — It really was the Marquis of Dongping Kingdom, Feng Lingxue!
Mu Rong Xiu wasn’t the least bit surprised, but Zi Yuan was completely shocked. “Why is it you!?” Why are you in my palace! ”
With Mu Rong Xiu’s poison dart on her shoulder, Feng Lingxue’s upper body was numb and unable to move. He coughed out a mouthful of blood and said with a faint smile, “I just wanted to look at you from the side.” There was a hint of loneliness in his tone.
Zi Yuan looked at him in disbelief. “What nonsense are you spouting?!” He couldn’t help but feel an unspeakable disgust and confusion towards him.
“How is it? I’m not wrong, right?!” Murong Xiu interrupted, “I said that the peeping star is most likely the queen’s admirer, and you’re still saying that I’m spouting nonsense. Since when have I, Murong Xiu, ever spouted nonsense?” The latter half of the sentence was somewhat complacent.
“You must be here to execute some sort of plan or mission!” The sword in Zi Yuan’s hand did not relax at all. It pierced through Feng Lingxue’s skin, causing a bit of blood to ooze out. “Speak! What on earth did you sneak into my Northern Desert Palace?” Ziyuan could avoid the topic of adoration.
“The empress is truly a happy person!” Feng Lingxue said with a smile, “Xue Xue is indeed here to carry out a mission.” He turned his head to look at Murong Xiu. “We meet again. I didn’t expect that the Northern Yue’s water and soil would raise you better than the Western Region. Those who don’t know you think you’re from the Northern Yue.”
“Humph!” Murong Xiu snorted. “You can’t anger the current me by saying that!” He shook his finger, “Useless, useless!”
“I know it’s futile. I was just thinking, if the water and soil of Dongping Province were to nurture you, would it be better than the Northern Yue or the Northern Yue, would it give you the appearance of a Dongping Country person?” Feng Lingxue smiled faintly. She didn’t seem to want to anger Murong Xiu, but her words made those who heard them feel uncomfortable.
“So, your mission, is actually to kidnap me?” Murong Xiu stepped on Feng Lingxue’s chest. “Yo, you’re quite strong. But, do you feel numb here now?” In another twelve hours, you will die with a mouthful of blood. ”
Feng Lingxue coughed out another mouthful of blood, “That won’t happen, Your Highness, how could you kill this marquis? Hm? Right? ”
The two men’s gazes met and Zi Yuan released the sword in her hand that was pressing against Feng Lingxue’s neck. “I don’t know why you want to kidnap Mu Rong Xiu, but I’ll tell you this. One day when I’m in this palace, you won’t have the chance to take him away!”
Hearing this, Murong Xiu was overjoyed. He immediately pretended to be afraid and hid behind Violet Garden. “Did you hear that? You won’t have a chance!” This childish action made Zi Yuan feel both angry and amused. Even Feng Lingxue, who was on the ground, couldn’t help but cough.
“Should we send this Feng Lingxue into the prison or something?” Mu Rong Xiu asked.
“…” Zi Yuan hesitated a little. She knew that if she killed Feng Lingxue or put her in prison, it would be a reasonable excuse for Dong Ping to ambush the North Vietnamese. However, if she did not give Feng Lingxue some pain, she would not be able to swallow this anger. After thinking about it, she felt that it would be better to just hand over Feng Lingxue, who had always been pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, to Murong Xiu, a cunning old fox.
In these three days of fighting with Murong, she had become somewhat clear on the rules of the manual. She was prepared to write down her own experience as a way to defeat the enemy and send it to Helian Lie. Actually, she wanted to go to the battlefield with Helian more to kill the enemy. However, the rear guard was always needed, so she had no choice but to restrain her temper and take care of the imperial government in Helian Lie’s place, arranging all the support from the back.
“Bring Feng Lingxue back to your palace, I’ll leave it to you.” After thinking it through, Zi Yuan said to Murong Xiu, “Don’t let this person bring you to East Peak.” She didn’t forget to tease him.
“Don’t worry,” Mu Rong Xiu said with a meaningful look. Those eyes caused the Violet Garden to feel a bit of fear in her heart.
“In short, I’ll leave it to you.” She almost ran away.
However, during dinner time, she still went to Murong Xiu’s palace. The steward of the imperial kitchens had prepared a sufficient amount of dinner for three people.
However, Murong Xiu hadn’t given Feng Lingxue the antidote, so his shoulders and arms were still numb and couldn’t be used. Fortunately, his head wasn’t affected by the poison. Murong Xiu wanted Feng Lingxue to open her mouth and throw food into it. When Feng Lingxue was at the Violet Garden, she naturally wouldn’t do so no matter what. He sat silently at the side, watching the Violet Garden and Murong Xiu eat.
After Zi Yuan had eaten his fill and left the palace, Feng Lingxue then told Murong Xiu, “Hey, give me something to eat.”
Murong Xiu raised an eyebrow. “Can’t you see that we’ve already collected all of the food?”
“I saw that you had hidden a bowl of Red Braised Meat, and a few milk cakes, as well as a bowl of chicken.” Feng Lingxue said confidently, “Don’t lie to me, I saw it all, give it to me to eat!”
“You can’t have both hands? Cut the crap, hurry up, I’m going to starve to death! ” At this time, Feng Lingxue had completely lost all sense of grace.
Murong Xiu took out the hidden dishes and threw them in the direction of Feng Lingxue. However, he didn’t throw them in the right direction, so Feng Lingxue had to take a few steps back to open her mouth to eat the piece of meat. He wolfed it down and muttered, “Can’t you throw it on time?”
Thus, Mu Rong Xiu threw all the food on the table towards Feng Lingxue as if he was practicing his darts. The two of them were quite well-coordinated and didn’t waste any food at all.
Feng Lingxue burped and said to Murong Xiu, “Wait until the medicinal properties of the pill pass. Murong Xiu, you’re finished.”
Murong Xiu wasn’t afraid of him at all. “You’re here to hit me, hahaha!” Right, Zi Yuan has handed you over to me, and now that you’ve been infected by my medicine, I see that you’re so tender and tender. Tsk tsk, shouldn’t I play with you a little? ”
“Mu Rong Xiu!” For a man to do something and not to do it, how can he do such a dirty thing?! ” Feng Lingxue panicked.
“Hahaha!” This is really interesting. I really don’t understand. Why did you think of abducting me? Even if you successfully kidnapped me and brought me to Dongping, what would you get out of it? Do you want to use me as a threat to agree to send troops to save Xi Li, and then beat back the North Vietnamese and get a bit of the territory from Xi Li? ” Murong Xiu laid on the bed and crossed his legs as he analyzed the situation.
“Oh, that’s a good idea. Why didn’t I think of it?” Feng Lingxue replied. In fact, he was thinking about how to remove the poison’s medicinal properties as soon as possible to regain his freedom.
“Heh heh, you never would have thought that your Brother Wang would come up with such a plan.” Murong Xiu continued analyzing as he shook his legs.
“It’s just that this plan is too terrible. I came here to recuperate. I came here to recuperate. [You people have to spend your manpower and resources to guard me. Do any of you in Dongping will be able to keep an eye on me?] Could it be that he wanted to lock my shoulder blade? In addition, I don’t have anything to do with the king of Western Li Country anymore. It’s impossible for him to use me to threaten Western Li! ”
“That’s not necessarily true. We just refused to sign a Life and Death Alliance with you, Xi Li.” Feng Lingxue said with a smile.
“Oh? “Hur Hur Hur.” Murong Xiu stopped swinging his feet, and after a while, he started swinging again. “It seems that the North Yue is still pushing the west away quite a bit.”
“You, the regent from the west, are actually living a leisurely life in the North Vietnamese palace!” Feng Lingxue said sarcastically, “Aren’t you going to dominate the entire world? Now that you guys are in the west, your country is about to fall! “
