Chapter 16: Canary Captured by the Enemy Emperor 3

"Go to sleep, I'll come back tomorrow."

Jun Yuanming pulled her hand away, planted her legs on the ground, and stood up. The tall shadow enveloped her, and that moment seemed very gentle.

Lin Muqing could only fake smile along.

Only after the people left did she dare to breathe.

"He knew it was poisonous, but he still made me drink it. He suspected me."

Lin Muqing realized the difficulty of this mission.

The system agrees [Because I am in your mind, I can only know that it is poisonous when you drink it, otherwise I would have gotten it long ago! Didn’t I just tell you to lie on the bed! ]

"The emperor is very suspicious. I don't think this matter is that simple."

There may be an ulterior motive for keeping her in bed.

"Don't rush me. This is only my second time doing a mission, and I did that right at the start." She covered her face.

The system laughed, "Okay, okay, I just feel that this palace is oppressive. If you get pregnant, we can leave at any time."

"I know you're thinking about me, let's just get along for now." The main reason was that the transition was huge and she was not mentally prepared.

[It's okay. After completing a few more missions, I believe the host will be able to control the person at any time.]

"Thank you for your good words. I will try my best." Lin Muqing slept uneasily at night.

…

The next morning, she woke up.

Eunuch Qin brought a bunch of rewards, many of which were royal treasures looted by Jun Yuanming when he led his troops in battle.

Deep-sea night-shining pearls, a copper-gilt enamel and gemstone jewelry box, a cloud-patterned gold hairpin inlaid with pearls, as well as tribute fruits such as purple grapes and a box of gold, silver and jewelry.

Lin Muqing accepted it gratefully while pondering it in his mind.

As Xiao Liu was dressing her, she said, "My lady, this morning I went to the wardrobe room and the maid said that you were favored by His Majesty last night and Liu, the noble who poisoned you, was severely punished."

"When the emperor came to court, Mr. Liu's father, the Minister of Personnel, was dismissed from his post by the emperor. He also said that the emperor was so angry for his beloved, and the young lady should be promoted soon."

"Hmm? So that's how it is."

If you want to take advantage of her, she will hold a grudge.

Now that she is "favored" now, we should at least show some appreciation.

"There's a kitchenette here, right?"

Xiao Liu pointed outside the hall and said, "It's in the woodshed."

"I'll make something to eat."

Xiaoyu said quickly: "How can you let me do it? I'll do it myself!"

"No, no." She refused and went to the kitchen alone.

To be on the safe side, Lin Muqing bought everything from pots to ingredients with the help of the group.

The repair medicine I used last night accidentally repaired some of the wounds on my hands. They look ugly, but they have actually healed a lot. I put on gloves before starting.

Saw mushrooms and corn in the kitchen.

She bought water, butter, mushrooms, corn, and sugar, spending a few ounces of silver.

He cooked a bowl of mushroom soup, added some repair potion, served it, and walked towards Yu's study.

It’s her business whether she eats him or not. She has already completed her mission.

…

Yu study.

Qin Dong came back to report: "Your Majesty, Lin Shuyi was not very happy. She just glanced at me and sent me away."

Jun Yuanming sat on the dragon chair, reviewing memorials with his pen.

"Let her be."

Qin Dong couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts, so he could only lower his head and grind ink.

The only sound in the study was someone writing quietly.

"Your Majesty, Lin Shuyi requests an audience."

Yu Linjun at the door stepped in, saluted and reported.

The emperor, who was just sealing a memorial, stopped writing.

"Xuan."

"Your Majesty." Lin Muqing walked in gracefully, holding a pear wood tray.

The solemn and quiet study seemed to come alive with her arrival.

She wore a gold hairpin with a cloud pattern and inlaid pearls on her head. The pearls made her forehead look full and white. The tassels fell behind her shoulders. She had a smile on her face and looked at him with love.

"Stand up." Jun Yuanming walked down, his tall figure approached, and casually lifted the lid. The rich and sweet smell penetrated into the heart and lungs along with the steam.

"My dear, what is this?"

"I made the mushroom soup myself to thank Your Majesty. Would you like to drink it?" Lin Muqing looked at him expectantly with moist eyes.

Jun Yuanming hasn't spoken yet.

Eunuch Qin had already stepped forward with the silver needle in his hand, skilled in doing so.

Lin Muqing was not afraid of anything happening this time.

After a while, the silver needle showed no reaction, but Eunuch Qin wanted to test the poison himself.

"If Your Majesty doesn't like it, Eunuch Qin can just drink it. I'll make some soup that Your Majesty likes next time." Lin Muqing said softly and tenderly.

Jun Yuanming interrupted Eunuch Qin's actions for some selfish reason, or perhaps it was the tempting sweet fragrance in the soup.

"No need to try, I'll just try it."

The two of them sat at a round table in the side hall.

Jun Yuanming elegantly took a sip from the spoon. The milky white soup was fresh and smooth, with the sweetness of corn and a unique milky aroma. He had never tasted such soup before.

He couldn't help but drink a few more sips.

"My beloved concubine is a great cook."

"If your majesty likes it, I can do it for you often in the future." Lin Muqing supported her chin, pretending to like his character, and openly admired this man's looks.

Jun Yuanming remained calm.

The soup soon ran out, and he started to feel a little dizzy, but not seriously.

"What did you put in the soup?"

His voice was sharp and his dark eyes were fixed on Lin Muqing, with a hint of anger in them.

"No, really not. Your Majesty didn't sleep well last night, right?" Lin Muching remembered that after drinking the recovery potion, he would feel dizzy for a short time. If his body was not very weak, he would not lose consciousness.

The next moment, her hand was grabbed and squeezed hard in the palm, and she was forced to stand up under the force.

"Hiss, it hurts." She twisted her wrist.
