Chapter 589 Ling Yun Will Not Become Emperor
Even Bai Tong, who had been keeping his head down, raised his head and looked at Mu Man in astonishment.
When Bai Chen and Ouyang Xing saw the old lady picking up her chopsticks, they immediately started picking up food, fearing that she would miss a bite.
When Su Nuan saw Ling Cang looking at her, she blinked playfully and nodded, indicating her agreement.
Anyway, I can hear what they say. Space spirits can not only eavesdrop but also synchronize the images.
Seeing Su Nuan nod, Ling Cang said, "Why should I talk to you alone? Is there anything I can't say in front of others?"
Mu Mian bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "I know what will happen in the next five years. If you don't listen to me, the North will soon be completely slaughtered."
When these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed in shock.
Ling Cang pondered for a moment and stood up, "Go to the next room."
If Bai Chen and Ouyang Xing were not at the table, Ling Cang would definitely not move.
Regardless of whether what Muqian said is true or false, listen to it first and then consider it.
Su Nuan stared at Mu Mian's back, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the chopsticks.
She remembered what the space spirit said last time, asking her to capture a person from the giant tribe and throw him into the space, and then Hai Lan would be able to extract that person's memory.
If she knocked Mu Man unconscious and threw her into space, Hai Lan would definitely be able to extract her memory, so that she could know her real purpose.
Thinking of this, Su Nuan said in her heart: "Space Spirit, you go and follow me, I also want to see the picture."
The voice of the space spirit entered his mind, "What do you mean by follow? Am I not already on Ling Cang's head?"
"You want me to follow that woman? But don't you think it's easier to observe the woman's expression from Ling Cang's perspective?"
Su Nuan, “…”
Well, there is indeed something to eat. This space spirit always comes first.
She quickly ate two mouthfuls of food to fill herself up, then stood up and said, "You guys take your time eating, I'll make some tea."
She went to the tea room to boil some water, where she wouldn't have to worry about others noticing she was distracted.
Everyone thought Su Nuan was angry because Ling Cang and Mu Mian were talking alone, so no one dared to speak for fear of bringing bad luck.
The old lady fiddled with the rice grains in her bowl, finally sighed and put down her chopsticks.
Seeing this, Xue also put down her chopsticks awkwardly and kept glancing away.
Ling Yun sat there, not eating a single bite of the food in front of him, but just drinking one glass of wine after another.
However, Bai Chen and Ouyang Xing were not affected at all, and they danced with their chopsticks very quickly.
Influenced by her two brothers, Bai Tong buried her head in her food and ate with her cheeks puffed up like a hamster. She felt like she would rather die of fullness than become a ghost.
Soon, Mu Man’s face appeared in front of Su Nuan.
She and Ling Cang sat opposite each other at the eight-immortal table.
The space spirit whispered to Su Nuan, "This guy knows to sit further away, not bad."
Su Nuan was speechless. Was the focus wrong? She hadn't thought about it that much.
Mu Man brushed the table with his hand, and a piece of cream cake appeared on the empty table.
The snow-white cream is decorated with lifelike flowers, which makes people's mouths water at first sight.
Space Inspiration exclaimed, "Wow, she actually has a cream cake. Nuannuan, please make me a bigger one."
Su Nuan was speechless. She knew the recipe for cream cake, but she had never made one this big.
At that moment, she could only agree, "I understand."
Never mind, just agree to it first and do it when you have time later.
The kapok didn't see any surprise in Ling Cang's eyes. She said dissatisfiedly, "Why aren't you surprised? Have you eaten it before?"
Ling Cang was stunned and asked, "Is this food? I've never eaten it before."
Mumian choked. Why was this man's reaction different from what she expected?
She took a deep breath and pushed the cake towards Ling Cang, "Try it, it's definitely the most delicious thing you've never tasted before."
"Aren't you curious about why I can conjure things out of thin air?"
Ling Cang raised his hand and swept the cake on the table away.
Mu Mian was stunned and asked after a long while, "You...how could you?"
Ling Cang calmly replied: "It's just a storage box. My wife gave it to me."
Su Nuan was a little doubtful about her ears. She seemed to hear some pride in Ling Cang's voice just now.
Ling Cang then said, "This smells very sweet. I'll take it back for my wife to eat."
Mu Mian gritted her teeth in hatred and angrily said, "What's so good about that woman?"
"She loves Zhao Jingcheng in her heart. Do you know what Zhao Jingcheng did in the capital?"
Ling Cang narrowed his eyes and asked, "Have you been to the capital recently?"
Mumian shook her head, "No, but I know what Zhao Jingcheng did. To tell you the truth, I was reborn five years later."
"Five years from now, Zhao Jingcheng will be the regent, Su Zhen will be the empress, and you will all be killed before the end of this year."
Su Nuan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she still couldn't escape death?
No, if I am still a short-lived person in this life, then it would be a shame to be reborn.
She collected her thoughts and continued listening.
Ling Cang was silent for a moment and asked, "What reason do the people in the capital have to kill us?"
Mumian sneered, "You've even proclaimed yourself the city lord. Why do you think they want to kill you?"
"To put it bluntly, the people in the capital have no intention of letting you live. They will kill all of you with the surname Ling."
Ling Cang nodded and said slowly, "This is in line with the emperor's character."
Mu Mian shook her head, "It was Su Zhen and Zhao Jingcheng who instigated it, otherwise the emperor wouldn't have thought of you."
"Who told you to be so high-profile? If you have food, why don't you just keep it to yourself and eat it? Why don't you spread the news?"
"I think... the people sent by the capital to ask for food are already on their way."
Ling Cang nodded, "I know."
Mu Mian couldn't understand Ling Cang's calmness. "How can you be so calm? Don't you want to live?"
"You know, Zhao Jingcheng is the official who came this time. Su Nuan will collude with Zhao Jingcheng and take away all the food in the north."
This surprised Ling Cang, but he said firmly: "Impossible."
He only believed that Su Nuan would kill Zhao Jingcheng with a knife if she saw him again. If she couldn't kill him, she would at least cripple him. She would never have anything to do with him.
Mu Mian was so angry that she laughed, "You...you idiot, if I had known this would happen, I would not have looked for you, I should have looked for your brother."
"Your brother is quite capable. After escaping death, he rushed into the capital to seek revenge."
"He later became emperor, but he had no idea how to govern the country, and soon everything fell into chaos again."
Ling Cang nodded in agreement, "Yeah, like him."
Mumian clenched his fists and tried his best to calm himself down.
She continued, "I thought you were different from him, so I came to you. I wanted you to rebel in advance so that you could become emperor."
"You will definitely manage the country and will never let it fall into chaos..."
Mu Mian looked up and found that Ling Cang was daydreaming.
She felt her throat tighten, and a mouthful of blood was stuck there.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Ling Cang, what are you thinking about? I'm talking about something so important, and you're distracted?"
