”Your Majesty?” E Xiaoyao's side
Ning Xiaoyao couldn't raise her hand against a pregnant woman As she saw it, the empress was a victim of this conspiracy as well She didn't knohat her fate was in her original life, but the empress definitely wouldn't survive if she tried to threaten the Xie father and daughter with knowledge of Ning Yu's true gender
E subservient as she spoke, ”The sweet soup isn't good if it gets cold Your consort heard that Your Majesty liked sweet soups like this”
Ning Xiaoyao looked at Eht, What to do now? Chase her away directly, or trick her aords? When Erew nervous Ruotten into a clash over the ht this was a chance Once the angry eer disliked, would he try to talk with her to provoke the e as she could speak with His Majesty and coax him to drink a few mouthfuls of soup, then she and her child would have a hope for survival But right now, Ning Xiaoyao's silence was sapping away at Ee
Ning Xiaoyao observed Empress Zhou as she stood before her with head bowed, shoulders contracting slightly, and gave a sigh Then she raised a hand to touch her obviously nervous, fair face Ee to avoid Ning Xiaoyao's hand since she had someone she loyally loved already, but in the end she stood un The person before her could ensure that she and her child lived on
”Go back,” Ning Xiaoyao said against her will ”I don't like sweet soup”
E Xiaoyao feel like she was a bad guy who'd bullied others She didn't have the heart to keep looking and averted her gaze to the”Right now, I have to take care of Supreme Commander's matters I'll find you to talk in the future”
Elanced at the food tray on the tea table She was froeneral's family and knew martial arts She could force His Majesty to drink the soup, but how could she bear his anger afterwards? Drugging hi herself was co him with martial arts
”I like to eatXiaoyao said seriously ”When you send over food in the future,That'll stave off hunger” Could she get full off sweet soup? Show sy full is the trueof happiness!
E around He ht have been confined within the Grand Preceptor's estate before and spent his days in loneliness, but they always had enough food Had His Majesty starved before?
”Go on,” Ning Xiaoyao waved a hand at Elance at the items on the tea table before she left If His Majesty didn't use them, the boould probably be poured out
When Ning Xiaoyao saw that the empress had left, she turned to lift the cover off the food tray The sweet soup bowls inside rapped in padded cotton holders and still ely resembled dense syrup, and inside there was lily, red dates, andXiaoyao sed her saliva She'd only seen these things in photos before As for real lilies, red dates, or ginger, the apocalypse was a place where rice and flour were in short supply How could those things exist?
”That ninny wants to eat that?” a chubby yellow cat asked from outside
The long-haired white cat replied, ”I knohich bowl is drugged The two of them are different colors”
Ning Xiaoyao didn't say anything else, but took the tls of sweet soup out of their holders and placed them onto the tea table
”Which bowl has the drug?” Husband Magpie asked
”The left one, -haired white cat
The left one Ning Xiaoyao glanced at the tls One was red, and one was indigo-blue Then she looked at the soup inside the bowls Geez, she was hungry Hu ability were i a bit of aphrodisiac was nothing to theo-blue bowl back in its holder, picked that up, and started walking out of the roo from the red bowl in her other hand
The cats and pies outside theall fell silent This ninny had drank the drugged sweet soup despite being treated as a chess piece by her own farandfather and the eer were the best people in the world Who was supposed to treat her poison now? It looked like things were going to get serious…
