C14 (1/2)
The luxurious carriage drove on the flat road without any obstruction, and in a short while, they arrived at their destination.
”Your Highness, we have arrived at the palace.” The butler's voice came from outside the car.
Nangong Lin was the first to jump down from the horse carriage and then considerately helped Yan Xiaoxi down.
Yan Xiaoxi slowly got up from her seat, dressed in gorgeous palace clothes. She calmly walked out and couldn't help but giggle as she looked at the majestic and imposing palace.
Wakaka, she could imagine that there were many delicacies waiting for her there.
Xiao Cui looked at her young mistress helplessly, tugging at the corner of her clothes to remind her.
Yan Xiaoxi glanced at Xiao Cui, then turned to Nangong Lin, and asked, ”Little Linlin, there must be a lot of delicious food in the palace right?”
She tightly held onto Nangong Lin's arm, and her entire body was almost touching it.
”Don't eat the food in the palace.”
”Why?” Yan Xiaoxi came here for the food in high spirits. If she didn't eat, then wouldn't her visit have been in vain?
In order to come to the palace, she could even dress up. Otherwise, if she wore such complicated clothes, it would be even harder than killing her.
Hmph, he actually didn't want her to eat anything, on what basis?
”Poisonous.” Nangong Lin indifferently spat out two words.
”Oh my god!” Yan Xiaoxi stared at the water spirit in shock. She immediately felt a great sense of loss, and her steps slowed down as well.
There was no longer any motivation for her to move forward. What to do? She wanted to go back.
In that instant, Yan Xiaoxi was like a puppet who had lost her soul, bowing her head as she walked forward numbly.
Suddenly, she raised her head and looked towards Nangong Lin, inquiring, ”No, Little Linlin must be lying to me.”
How could the food in the palace be poisonous? Otherwise, wouldn't the people inside have died long ago?
Little Lin Lin must have wanted to take revenge and mess with her, because the last time she had deliberately made things difficult for her, she had asked for 400 roasted chickens.
”Has This King lied to you before?” Nangong Lin solemnly said.
Yan Xiaoxi shook her head. They had known each other for so long, but Nangong Lin never seemed to have fooled her.
”Little Lin Lin, but I'm hungry now.” Hearing that, Xiao Cui who was behind couldn't help but roll her eyes, before Miss came to the palace, didn't she only eat? Why would she become hungry in less than two hours?
Nangong Lin looked at Yan Xiaoxi, who had a wronged expression on her face, and said, ”I'll have Xiao Cui go to the imperial kitchens and personally make it for you later.”
”Aren't there people who specifically try to eat the food in the palace?” These things were all told to her by her master.
His Master had said that she had to be careful in every corner of the palace. Within the red walls of this palace, she could eat people and lose her head at any time. She had told her countless stories of concubines trying to please her.
Thus, Yan Xiaoxi should have a rough understanding of what Nangong Lin meant by 'poison'. However, in front of delicious food, nothing could make her compromise easily.
”Just listen to This King.” Nangong Lin did not explain too much. There was likely no one who knew his situation better than him.
Nangong Zhen had always been eyeing him covetously. The two of them had been each other's enemy since they were young. After seeing each other for a year, nothing was impossible.
Yan Xiaoxi nodded, thinking to herself, if I don't personally test it, I would have forgotten that I know medicine.
Soon, they arrived at the palace where the birthday banquet was held.
”Prince Lin, Princess Lin is here.” The voice also attracted everyone's attention.
Regardless of male or female, old or young, all of the people present turned their gazes to the door at the same time and cast their gazes onto Nangong Lin.
That tall and mighty figure was the one they were so proud of, Prince Lin. For a long time, they didn't see his handsome face.
