Chapter 356 The Soup is Poisonous

After the Queen's mother left the palace, the uncle dressed up and sneaked into the military camp to meet the prince.

The Queen dressed up and personally made soup to apologize to the Emperor.

"The Emperor is still discussing things with the Prime Minister, the Grand Marshal, and the ministers. I don't know when the discussion will end. It's freezing cold, the Queen should go back first!"

The eunuch said everything without a single mistake.

"It doesn't matter, I will wait outside the palace for the Emperor to finish his work!" The Queen also made a gesture. The

winter weather was already cold and windy, and it started snowing soon.

The eunuch came to persuade her again: "Empress, please go to the side hall to rest. When the emperor is done with his work, I will come to invite you!"

"I am here to pay the emperor a gift and apologize. I should be sincere. Just go and do your work. I have my own opinion!" The queen explained with rare patience.

The eunuch's eyebrows jumped. The queen suddenly spoke the truth. She must have been patient and kept silent. When the time came, he would be the one to suffer.

It was really a case of gods fighting and the devils suffering.

The eunuch quickly said with tact: "How about I go and inform you?"

The empress had lost her patience and her face was filled with anger: "State affairs are the most important. You should leave immediately. If you keep on dawdling, I will lose my temper!"

The eunuch was eager to speak and hurriedly retreated: "I'll take my leave. If there is anything the empress needs, please let me know!"

The eunuch bowed and retreated. As soon as he returned to the room, a young eunuch put a fox fur cloak on him, handed him a hand warmer, and said flatteringly:

"Grandpa, it's so cold outside. You have to go out again and again. It's really a pain. Drink some ginseng soup and warm yourself up!"

The eunuch took a sip of the ginseng soup and said calmly, "The empress is standing outside with all her wealth. How can we, the servants, hide in the house all the time!" "

Grandpa is right. I have learned my lesson!" The little eunuch was bent and almost fell to the ground.

The eunuch sat leisurely on the armchair, and the little eunuch came up to massage his shoulders and legs.

The snow outside the window had turned into heavy snow. The little eunuch glanced outside the door and saw that the empress and her nanny were covered with a layer of white snow.

The young eunuch asked, "Master, the snow is getting heavier. Should we go and persuade the queen again, or send her a soup cooker?"

"Didn't you hear what the queen said? Don't disturb her!" The eunuch took another sip of the ginseng soup. The queen was arrogant and never treated them as servants. She asked everything she should do and ask. Since she likes to show off, let her do it.

Anyway, I have already urged her many times.

After about an hour, the snow gradually stopped, but the biting north wind blew and the temperature dropped sharply. Although the queen came prepared and wore very thick clothes, she was still frozen and painful. Her two feet were numb and she had no feeling.

The steamed bun beside her was not much better, but after all, he had taken care of her since she was a child. He said distressedly: "My queen, why don't we go back? It's not worth it to ruin your body!"

The queen suppressed her anger and said tremblingly: "The emperor is deliberately embarrassing me. If you want to achieve great things, you must be able to bend and stretch. Wait a little longer, he will really let me freeze to death here.

This dog eunuch , he came here repeatedly just now, but now he is nowhere to be seen when he is needed.

He is indeed a bully relying on the power of his master!" The eunuch saw that the time was almost up, so he came out and said with a look of distress in his eyes: "Oh, Empress, why are you doing this? The Emperor really has important military affairs to discuss. Never mind, I will go and report to you!"

After that, he entered the Longhua Palace with an air of being ready to die.

Soon, the emperor came out trotting. He ran quickly towards the empress, took her cold hand and said, "Empress, what are you doing? If you want to see me, just come in. Why are you standing outside in the wind and snow?"

After that, he kicked the eunuch in the heart: "You blind dog slave, you are so old, but you can't even go down to receive punishment for your duty!"

The empress smiled weakly, her teeth chattering: "It's not the eunuch's fault for this. I know the emperor has important things to do and can't bear to disturb you. Besides, I'm here to make amends, and I must make amends with an attitude!"

If the couple didn't know each other well, the empress would really think that the emperor cared about her when she saw the emperor running towards her.

The queen secretly pinched herself and drove these unrealistic thoughts out of her mind. Today, she came to do something big.

"Your Majesty, I hit Xiao Heng in private, and I have been feeling uneasy. Xiao Heng has been away from home for two years, and Your Majesty has missed him for two years. I shouldn't be willful and vent my anger on him. I am ashamed to be a mother. Please abolish my position as queen!"

Although the queen is over 40 years old, she has taken good care of herself and still has some charm. Today, she deliberately drew her eyebrows lower, without the fierce aura of the past, and some of the gentleness of a woman.

The emperor sneered in his heart. If she was really so gentle and considerate, Xiao Heng's mother would not have suffered so much.

But his face was still full of tenderness. He personally brushed the snowflakes off her hair and said distressedly: "You are still the same as when you were young, doing things based on your mood without considering the consequences. How come you have frozen yourself like this?"

The queen tried hard to force a smile. She was really cold, and so was the dog emperor. If he wanted to pretend, he should go to the palace first. She was almost frozen to death.

Under the emperor's tenderness, there was suppressed anger. He deliberately greeted the queen here just to see her miserable appearance a few more times.

In the end, the queen was invited to the Hualong Palace. The ground dragon in the palace was burning very brightly. The emperor personally changed a cloak for the queen and sat down holding her hand.

"Empress, you must not be so willful in the future. Xiao Heng is my child, and naturally your child as well. There is no reason why you cannot beat him."

"Xiao Heng lost his mother when he was young. I should have been more tolerant of him. Your Majesty is magnanimous and does not blame me. I am the one who feels bad.

By the way, I personally made ginseng soup for you and have been keeping it warm with a soup pot. Now the temperature is just right. I will serve you a bowl!"

The palace was warm, and the queen finally recovered some strength. She stood up and opened the food box.

The emperor smiled at the queen, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

With the queen's methods, she would not do it so obviously. Is she going to poison herself?

The empress naturally knew what the emperor was thinking, so she asked the eunuch to bring two bowls, filled them with soup, and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have been standing outside for a while and I have caught a cold. Could you please give me a bowl of this ginseng soup?"

The emperor said with a fake smile, "I am very happy to drink with you, Your Majesty!"

The queen did not even look at the emperor, she took up a bowl and drank it all.

Then, she handed the other bowl to the emperor.

The emperor saw that the queen drank it, so he stopped suspecting anything and took up the bowl to take a sip. Suddenly, someone shouted in horror: "Don't drink it, the soup is poisonous!"
