The magnificent imperial palace came back to life because Murong Yue woke up.
As dawn broke, in accordance with the rules personally set by the Empress, one should rise at 3:00 AM and attend court at 5:00 AM.
His Majesty has now woken up and has not mentioned canceling the morning court session, so it will proceed as normal.
Palace servants moved about, preparing.
Li Xuanji was watching Murong Yue's food in the imperial kitchen.
"His Majesty has just recovered, so his diet should be light. Rice porridge, asparagus, and jade-like cake..."
He specified seven or eight light dishes, all of which were Murong Yue's usual favorites. After thinking for a moment, he added half a braised chicken and a fish.
The Empress, a dignified woman, is a pure vegetarian; if word got out, people would think the Qing Kingdom was desperately poor.
Thinking of this, Li Xuanji silently recited a few more words in his heart: May Heaven bless Daqing.
Fortunately, His Majesty has woken up.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Ten days ago, the Yue Kingdom in the west sent an envoy to visit. Counting the days, the Yue envoy will arrive in a few more days.
The Yue Kingdom has long coveted Daqing, and this visit is a test.
His Majesty had made thorough arrangements to demonstrate the power of the Qing Kingdom and deter the Yue Kingdom.
But at this critical moment, His Majesty suddenly fell into a coma.
Li Xuanji froze, his brow furrowed, as if his hands were tucked into his sleeves. Could it be... that His Majesty's coma was related to the Yue Kingdom?
The more I think about it, the more I realize that this is indeed the truth.
snort!
He suggested to His Majesty that the palace be thoroughly investigated using only these low-level methods.
As for the Yue delegation, when they witness the splendor of the Qing Empress, they'll have plenty of opportunities to deal with them...
Li Xuanji pushed open the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and palace maids carrying food boxes filed in behind him.
Murong Yue was getting sleepy and planned to rest for a bit before going outside to find something to eat, as the zombies couldn't go hungry.
But suddenly, a strong human scent wafted into my nose.
She quickly sat up, closed her eyes, and took a deep sniff.
Many people are good at eating.
My stomach rumbled again.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that the old man who smelled so delicious was back again.
No zombie could resist such a temptation.
It's been delivered right to her door; it would be impolite for her not to eat it.
She got up from the bed and walked awkwardly to Li Xuanji.
This body is still too new, and the coordination with the brain is a bit unfamiliar, but it doesn't matter. Once I eat this old man's brain and my energy is restored, everything will be fine.
Moreover, the other party showed no intention of dodging at all.
That's so cooperative!
Murong Yue suspected that she had stumbled into a zombie paradise.
She raised her hand and tried to strangle Li Xuanji's neck.
She's definitely a zombie who knows how to manage a household.
If the prey resists, she will pounce and bite its scalp; if the prey cooperates, she will break its neck before eating it.
This way you can avoid getting yourself dirty and wasting clothes.
She didn't like the feeling of being covered in blood.
Unexpectedly, when Li Xuanji saw her coming, he quickly bowed and greeted her, "Your Majesty."
What's wrong with the Imperial Advisor? Even the Imperial Advisor has to bow to His Majesty.
Huh?
Murong Yue's claws swept across the food's scalp, but she didn't even manage to grab a single strand of hair.
She tilted her head and looked at Li Xuanji.
The opponent seems to know how to fight.
She had encountered people like this before—evasive, difficult to deal with, and a waste of time.
Murong Yue simply turned to someone else.
A palace maid was fiddling with something on the table nearby.
Upon seeing her approach, the palace maid immediately knelt on the ground, lowered her head, and respectfully greeted, "Your Majesty."
That's more like it!
They offered their heads up there, waiting to be eaten.
Murong Yue was very satisfied with this, so let's start with this person.
Just as she was about to reach for the maid's neck, the maid stood up and, along with the others, bowed and retreated.
The speed was so smooth that she didn't even have time to react.
Wait, wait!
My food!
Fortunately, there was still one here, and she turned to Li Xuanji again.
Li Xuanji smiled, his voice was incredibly gentle, and his eyes were completely non-aggressive. "Your Majesty, the meal is ready. These are all your favorite dishes."
Something still doesn't feel right.
Murong Yue, unusually and appropriately, used her brain a little.
This person seems genuinely unafraid of me. Why?
She and Li Xuanji stared at each other for a full ten minutes.
Li Xuanji sighed.
His Majesty's reaction seemed a little slower than usual.
It seems this illness has caused some aftereffects; we'll have to give His Majesty a proper makeover later.
"Your Majesty, I know you have no appetite after recovering from a serious illness, but food is essential for health. You need to eat something to recover faster."
people?
Murong Yue slowly raised her hand, scratched her head, and said that something was wrong.
No wonder the other party wasn't afraid of her; they must have thought of her as a human being.
That's right.
It seems I've stumbled upon a human base by mistake.
She had some limited experience surviving in human bases.
The most important thing is not to expose yourself, which is something she excels at.
Zombies cannot digest human food, so as long as she doesn't eat people or human food, she won't expose herself.
I'll leave when I find an opportunity.
We went out and ate whatever we wanted.
Mimicking a human, Murong Yue coughed forcefully. Zombies don't cough, and that one cough almost choked her throat.
But this makes us look more like humans.
At the same time, adjust the curve of your mouth and make a smiling gesture, "Hello, please take me out to have a look around."
This sentence was spoken slowly, but it flowed very smoothly.
Yes, that's what we'll do!
I'm so smart!
