Chapter 183 Is this smell poisonous?



"Someone, go and find out who killed Ling Yi?" Emperor Hui said to the secret guard.

He wanted to know who had bad intentions and was deliberately provoking a war at this time.

That person must have planned this.

Queen, I hope it wasn't you who did this, otherwise, don't blame him for not considering the relationship between husband and wife.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The secret guard only answered once and then left quietly.

Early in the morning, the queen was overjoyed when she heard that Ling Yi had been murdered.

This was the best news she had heard recently.

Last night she heard that her father was planning to deal with Ling Yi, and today she heard this news. It seems that her father can't wait any longer.

The queen picked up the bottle of medicine and looked at it carefully. How could she take it quietly?

In the afternoon, she finally came up with a brilliant idea.

"Madame Liu, the emperor must be hungry now. You should quickly prepare some of his favorite food." The queen said indifferently.

When Nanny Liu heard this, she was a little puzzled as to why the Empress suddenly became concerned about the Emperor.

However, no matter how puzzled she was, she prepared everything for the queen without hesitation.

Half an hour later, the queen appeared at the door of the imperial study.

Eunuch Wang stretched out his hand to block the Queen's way, "Queen, the Emperor said that he will not see anyone today."

The queen was stunned. She didn't expect that she would be turned away after coming here with great difficulty.

Just as Nanny Liu was about to ask, the Queen stopped her with a look.

"Eunuch, I came here today because I felt that the emperor has been working hard recently and I wanted to send him some food. Please inform the emperor." As she said this, she took out an ingot of silver and secretly stuffed it into the hand of Eunuch Wang.

Eunuch Wang was startled by her action and waved his hands quickly, "Madam, no need, I will go in and ask right away."

As someone close to the emperor, he often encounters this situation, but he dares not accept it.

The emperor hates it most if someone uses him to bribe people. If the emperor finds out, he will lose his head.

After all, the other party is the queen, no matter what, he cannot offend her.

When Eunuch Wang went in, Emperor Hui was reviewing memorials.

Ling Yi died, and the Cang'ao Kingdom took this opportunity to provoke a war. Some ministers in the court advocated peace, which made Emperor Hui very unhappy.

He will get rid of all these cowards one day.

"What's wrong?" Emperor Hui felt there was someone next to him and looked up and asked.

Eunuch Wang took a step forward and observed Emperor Hui's expression. Seeing that there was nothing unusual on his face, he said, "Your Majesty, the Empress is waiting outside."

Why did the queen come at this time? Emperor Hui couldn't help but wonder.

Forget it, considering that she just lost Yoona, let her in.

“Let her in.”

Eunuch Wang breathed a sigh of relief. If the emperor refused, he would have a hard time explaining to the queen.

After a moment, the queen walked in leisurely and came into Emperor Hui's sight.

Today she was wearing a gorgeous brocade gown with gold thread embellished on the cuffs, and her complexion was much better, a big change compared to the past few days.

It seems that she has gotten over the pain of losing her son, Emperor Hui couldn't help but think to himself.

When she came closer, he smelled a faint fragrance from her. This fragrance was somewhat special and refreshing.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." The Queen bowed to Emperor Hui.

Emperor Hui raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite. What is the matter with the Queen coming here this time?"

As the saying goes, one doesn't visit a temple for no reason.

The Queen motioned to Aunt Liu to bring the food over, "Your Majesty, this is the nourishing soup and snacks that I prepared for you."

"You have been busy with state affairs recently. I can't do anything but prepare some food for you."

Emperor Hui's eyes fell on the table. There was a bowl of soup with wolfberry and ginseng. The soup was still steaming and looked very nutritious.

The dim sum is small and exquisite, looks great, smells tempting, and makes you drool.

Emperor Hui, who was used to all kinds of delicious food, couldn't help but stop for a moment.

He nodded and said, "The Queen is thoughtful."

"I just finished lunch not long ago. I can't eat it right now. Let's put it there for now."

He was so busy today that he forgot about time and didn't start eating until the afternoon.

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, the queen didn't say anything more.

She turned her head slightly to look at the furnishings in the imperial study and walked around the bookshelves.

Emperor Hui was annoyed by her and said impatiently, "What else does the Queen want?"

The queen saw that he looked unhappy and knew that he was annoyed, so she planned to leave. "Your Majesty, the nourishing soup needs to be drunk while it is hot. I have nothing else to do, so I will take my leave first."

Emperor Hui waited until she left before he looked away.

Before the queen had gone far, a familiar voice came from behind her.

"Eunuch Wang, is father in there?" Mu Nanyan looked up and asked him.

Ling Yi's death last night was a bit strange. Thinking about the Queen going to the Shen Mansion to look for Chen Kuo, maybe there is some connection between them.

Mu Nanyan thought about it and decided to tell Emperor Hui about her guess.

Just now, she came to the imperial study after her lunch break.

When Eunuch Wang saw Mu Nanyan, his eyes lit up. Isn't this the little princess?

The little princess was very much favored by the emperor. Unlike others, she could enter and leave the imperial study at will.

In order to please Mu Nanyan, Eunuch Wang smiled and replied, "Little Princess, the Emperor is working inside. I will take you in right away."

Different from his attitude towards the queen just now, Eunuch Wang held Mu Nanyan in high esteem.

The queen turned around and stared at Eunuch Wang and Mu Nanyan, her eyes filled with deep hatred.

This dog slave who looks down on others treats me like that, but he serves the little bitch carefully.

And that little bitch, why can she enter and leave the imperial study as she pleases, while she needs to report.

She had just felt a little soft-hearted towards the emperor, but now she wished he would die immediately.

Humph, let’s wait and see.

As soon as Mu Nanyan entered the imperial study, she saw a desk full of food. She sniffed it gently and felt that something tasted wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

"Dad, you haven't eaten yet?" She pointed to the things on the table.

Emperor Hui rubbed his brows, then looked in the direction of her finger. "What you are talking about is what the Queen sent just now."

Queen, she didn't touch her when she came in just now.

She was being attentive to him for no reason, she was either a traitor or a thief. Mu Nanyan thought of her previous actions and could not help but think the worst of her.

What's that smell in the air? It's unpleasant. No, it's poisonous.

Others may not be able to smell it, but you may think it smells good, and the more you smell it, the more addicted you become.

As an alchemist, she usually deals with various herbs and poisons.

Although this poison is rare, it cannot fool her.

So, Mu Nanyan stood on a chair and opened all the windows for ventilation.

"Yan'er, what are you doing..." Emperor Hui was puzzled.

Everything was fine, why did you suddenly open the window?
