Only then is the tenderest part of the durian picked out and wrapped in puff pastry.
Knowing you were going to the palace today, I ordered the Imperial Kitchen to prepare it early this morning. However, after waiting for quite a while, you still didn't show up at Fengyi Palace, so I had no choice but to go there myself."
Murong Xiao pretended not to know, and after a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Mother, how did you know that I like durian pastries?"
After hearing Murong Xiao's words, the queen smiled slightly but did not answer.
"Xiao'er, was everything okay when you married Ming'er yesterday?"
"Replying to Mother, everything is fine."
"Xiao'er, there's no need to hide anything from your mother, nor to tell lies. Your mother will always stand behind you, support you, and help you. Do you understand?"
"I……"
"During the wedding night ceremony last night, you encountered an assassin, right?"
Murong Xiao looked at the Queen in feigned surprise, then casually lowered his head as if he understood.
"Yes, but the bride who assassinated His Highness later committed suicide out of fear of punishment, so there is no way to catch the murderer behind the scenes."
The Queen sighed, her eyes gleaming with a murderous gleam as she nodded, "Yes. There are simply too many people who want Ming'er dead. Over the years, there have been more than twenty assassination attempts in the Eastern Palace. If I hadn't treated him well and allowed him to bribe many highly skilled guards, he would have been killed long ago."
Xiao'er, I know you're quite good at martial arts, so you should be more careful around Ming'er in the future. You must not let those people kill the prince!"
"Don't worry, mother. My father had already told me before Xiao'er got married. I will definitely protect His Highness."
Murong Xiao deliberately dragged Murong Qingyu into this. I really don't know how much the queen loves Murong Qingyu. Every time she mentions Murong Qingyu and Murong Qingyun, her emotions will be seriously overflowing.
She also didn't understand why she married the emperor if she loved him so much. Murong Qingyu had such a good relationship with the emperor, so how could he steal his friend's wife?
And it is obvious that the emperor only discovered the affairs between the queen and Murong Qingyu when Qianye Mingdu was ten years old. This further proves that the queen entered the palace absolutely voluntarily.
But looking at the Queen now, her eyes have turned into heart shapes, and her emotions are so strong that Murong Xiao's hairs stand on end. It is estimated that Murong Qingyu must have brought the Queen into the palace in the first place. Rare goods are worth having!
"Good! Mother knew Xiao'er would never let her down."
Murong Xiao smiled slightly, looked straight ahead, and said no more.
She had never had much to say to this woman, and now was not the time to turn against her, so since she was the one who asked her to come, she should be the first to speak. If the other party didn't say anything, she would just sit there.
"Xiao'er, how was Ming'er last night?"
"?" Murong Xiao looked as if he didn't understand.
"Mother is asking how Ming'er was last night?"
"His Highness was unwell last night. Xiao'er went to see him several times, but he was always in the bathroom."
"So...did he come to your bedroom later?"
Murong Xiao didn't show any shyness or embarrassment at the Queen's sudden and private question, and replied gently, "I went."
Murong Xiao's answer made the Queen suddenly nervous, and she asked, "Did you consummate your marriage?"
Murong Xiao sneered in his heart, thinking that if he didn't tell you what he was thinking, he would make you anxious to death, but a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.
