Prince Qinglin's palace is now neatly tidied up, and the furniture and furnishings have been arranged.
Xuanchen Mandrill sat on the mahogany lion-carved Arhat couch in the main bedroom, carefully looking at the layout of the room, thinking about what needed to be changed.
Feng Shui Qing means lying on the bed and feeling the fragrant smell of new quilts.
I just walked around in this big house for a long time, and my legs were indeed a little sore and tired.
Yuan Chen was still worried, so he opened the lid of the tea and kept sipping the foam.
"Xiao Qing, do you have a poison that delays the onset of the disease?"
"ah?!"
Feng Shui Qingshu sat upright and stared at the Demon King blankly, "What do you mean by this? I...I am not a medicine seller."
Xiao Tiantian also trembled in her consciousness and said: "Host, he asked this, did he discover my existence..."
"I don't know either. Let's wait and see what else he has to say."
Hyun Chen put down his tea cup, leaned his elbow on the desk, and put his slender fingers on his temple.
"Since the queen was imprisoned, the Mingyou Kingdom has repeatedly appealed to the father for mercy, or asked him to allow the queen to return to the Mingyou Kingdom. Seeing that the father had a tough attitude, they handed over the paper to intimidate and threaten. Therefore, the father handed over the matter.
Let me handle it."
"oh……"
Feng Shuiqing crossed his arms across his chest and tapped his chin with his thumb, "The queen's mother's family belongs to the royal family of the Mingyou Kingdom, and her father is the uncle of the current monarch. Now Dayao's troops are empty. If we go head-to-head with them, I'm afraid the mantis' arm will be used as a chariot."
"That's right."
There was a soft smile on the side of Hyunchen Mandrill's mouth.
My little girl.
Very clever at critical moments.
Feng Shui Qing: "Then what are your plans?"
"I just want to kill her."
He suppressed the ripples at the corners of his lips, and his eyes became cold, "The overall situation is the most important. We can't take action now, nor can we have a falling out with Mingyou Kingdom."
"So, do you have a delayed-onset poison?"
The sharp eyes cast by the devil seem to be able to see through everything.
Feng Shuiqing was stunned by his stare, but still said harshly: "Of course I didn't..."
"Um."
Hyunchen Mandrill stood up, squatted in front of her, and held her chin.
"The Dawn Palace suddenly appeared in my hot spring pool. The faded fabrics made by Fang were rushed to the northwest from the imperial city in two days, and there were also elixirs that saved me from dying."
"These things..." Hyunchen Mandrill gradually became more forceful in his hands, "I think it's time to explain it to me."
Damn!
Feng Shui makes all the hair stand on end!
These things...what about the Demon King?
All! All! Know! Got!
It's over, I really can't escape this time...
Look at the little girl's eyes almost popping out of their sockets with nervousness.
Yuan Chen couldn't help but laugh, and the intensity of his hands changed from pinching to gentle caressing, "Since I don't know how to explain it, let me ask you again. Do you have a delay..."
"Yes, yes! I have it!!!"
Feng Shui Qing nods like pounding garlic and blurts it out!
After getting a satisfactory answer, Hyunchen Mandrill sat next to her and held her little hand covered in cold sweat, "No matter it's weird or miraculous, as long as it won't hurt you, I won't ask too much. I believe in my little girl.
"
After saying that, he turned to look at her who was still nervous.
"Um……"
Feng Shui Qing smiled.
Yuan Chen pinched her cheek and continued to state the plan: "Since Mingyou Kingdom wants the queen, give it back to them. When she dies in Mingyou Kingdom, she will have nothing to do with Dayao anymore."
"Hmm...so when the poison took effect, she had already returned to Mingyou Country, so it's not the fault of Dayao."
Feng Shui Qing also felt that this method was feasible, nodded and muttered softly.
Let's get down to business.
Hyunchen Mandrill stroked the quilt gently and said: "This bed will be our marriage bed in the future."
"ah……?"
Her mind could not escape from what she had just done, so she uttered a confused syllable.
"I said
.”
The man's warm breath came closer and closer until it lingered in my ears, "This room is the wedding room, and this bed is the wedding bed. When making the bed, I specifically asked the craftsmen to increase the size. This way we can use it during the wedding...
…”
"Ah, shut up!"
Feng Shuiqing hurriedly covered the devil's mouth, his face turned red and turned purple, "I'm going back home! Don't leave now!"
Seeing that the tips of the little girl's ears were a rich crimson color, Hyun Chen couldn't help but smile, his eyes silently staring at her panicked fleeing back.
My heart is filled with turmoil...
All plans are proceeding in an orderly manner.
Wait until everything is arranged properly.
Only then can I give you a bright future.
…
Huide Palace.
"See His Highness King Qing Rin."
When the guard at the gate saw the visitor, he immediately knelt down and saluted.
Xuancheng took out the dinner plate in Pei Guo's hand.
"Wait here while I, the king, go in by myself."
"Yes! Your Highness, I have taken care of everything!"
Today's Huide Palace is no longer as glorious as it used to be.
It was early spring, and the snow in the courtyard was still there, with a thick layer of dust falling on the surface, making it look black and gray.
The melted snow water pooled on the ground to form a river of mud, making it look dirty and desolate.
The red pillars of the palace gate have also lost their bright color now, and the paint is mottled and full of cracks.
Huan Chenzhao glanced at the bluestone bricks not far away. It was covered with pit marks left by swords, which were slightly exposed through the dirty snow.
Darkness and lightness overlap, and everything you see is dry and still.
The queen was still wearing gorgeous clothes at this time, a lotus-colored gold thread brocade silk blouse with peony patterns, and an amber gold satin face-front cloak.
Her hair was tied up casually and her face was made up delicately.
Where is the down-and-out queen who has been imprisoned for a long time?
Rather, she looks like the mistress of a wealthy family.
Yuan Chen placed the dinner plate on the spotless table and said in a cold voice: "I will take you back to Mingyou Country. The carriage is ready. You eat this snack first. The bento is the last thing I can do to you."
"Son" love."
"hehe……"
The queen looked at the nails that were newly dyed with impatiens juice, and said in the same tone as before: "Hibiscus and water chestnut cake? Why did you choose this food to bring?"
"I remember you praised the taste."
"Well... Mandrill is quite thoughtful."
The queen sat on the stool, took the cake and smelled it, slightly hesitant.
But then I think about it...
Now that the army of Dayao Dynasty is in decline, our country of Mingyou has strong soldiers and horses.
Otherwise, they would not agree to send me back home.
If you blatantly poison me to death.
They dare not.
Moreover, in this world, apart from the deadly poisons that can be swallowed and killed, there are also the chronic poisons that are taken every day.
The cakes and delicacies on this plate should be the same.
But with a snap of her fingers, the Queen's thoughts were clear.
Then he put the pastry into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Since being imprisoned.
In Huide Palace, three meals a day are served according to the time. Except that there is no one to serve, the treatment is no different from before.
It's just that the food is not to the right taste, and it's just what the imperial kitchen makes.
It's nothing like the taste of a small kitchen.
Therefore, without taking any time to burn incense, she used up all seven or eight pieces of water chestnut cakes.
The queen put on the veil and stood up, her posture still dignified and elegant.
Looking at the handsome and upright "son" across from her, she actually had tears in her eyes. She put her hand on Yuan Chen's expressionless face and said, "Mother, I can see you before my mother leaves."
"You are not my queen mother."
He whispered coldly and took a big step back in disgust.
The queen's fingertips trembled, she took back her hand with a wry smile, and sat on the stool with her eyes straightened.
"Over the years, my mother has really been cruel to you. If I didn't force you to do anything about the country's foundation, how could you have achieved both civil and military status?! In the end, my mother abused you. It really makes my mother sad."
Heart."
"You're obsessed with it."
Hyun Chen looked at her sideways and uttered four words.
He turned around and sat face to face with her, his eyes bright.
"Third brother's mother-in-law treated him extremely harshly since he was a child. She practiced martial arts and endorsed all the books, forcing him to do his best. But when he was sick, she kept her clothes on and kept watch. Every year on his birthday, she would also give him a gift.
A carefully prepared gift."
"And you."
Yuan Chen's tone was even colder, but his eyes were slightly misty.
"When I was a child, I lived in the darkest side hall of Huide Palace. It was cold in winter and hot in summer, and I was alone. When I was sick, you sent the imperial doctor to treat me, and you went to listen to plays and enjoy flowers by yourself. On the day of my birthday
, you have never remembered, let alone carefully prepared a gift."
"You only showed up once when I was about to die from illness when I was twenty years old. It was just because you were afraid of losing me as a tool to seize power for you."
The queen looked away guiltily, but continued to show off her strength: "It's not that you look too much like your mother... I just..."
"so……"
Yuan Chen stood up, his eyes regained their sternness, "So don't pretend to be doing good for me anymore. It's just that you are selfish and will reap the consequences."
After saying that, he walked quickly outside the palace with his hands behind his back, and only turned his head and murmured coldly when he reached the threshold:
"The time has come, go back to your Mingyou Kingdom."
