Chapter 40: The Helplessness of Conspiracy (1)

  "Are you also having an affair with Emperor Gege?" Mu Beichuan asked coldly.

  "What the...?!" Xia Tong's mouth twitched, she was speechless! She reached out and pinched his cheek hard, saying: "You little brat, is that even human language?"

  "Girl, how many men have you gotten yourself entangled with?" Mu Beichuan pulled down her hand and asked seriously, his face stern.

  Still holding another woman in his arms! Xia Tong looked at him and was completely speechless. How old is this kid, anyway?

  "Little brat, what do you know!" Xia Tong's finger poked his forehead, and he couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed.

  "Stop yelling at me like that! I'm not a kid!" He covered his forehead which she had poked, glaring at her angrily.

  "Hey! Hey! You're not a kid, are you?" Looking at his sulky face, Xia Tong said with a smile, pinched his cheek and examined him carefully before standing up, "Not a kid, but still pouting like this?"

  Mu Beichuan's face immediately turned bright red as soon as he heard it, and he stomped his foot in annoyance towards Xiaotong, shouting: "I'm not angry!"

  "Aren't you angry? If you're not angry, then why are you yelling?" Xia Tong looked at him with a mischievous smile and asked.

  For a moment, Mu Beichuan's face turned red again, glanced at the pastry on the coffee table, then stomped her foot in regret, and warned her, "You'd better watch yourself! It's best not to provoke several men at the same time!" He said, chasing after Mu Beifeng without looking back.

  Shut up, you little brat!

  Xia Tong turned around and continued to fiddle with the pastries in the box. She should have put them on a plate instead!

  Xiatong suddenly stood up, and in the corner of her eye, it seemed like someone flashed by the door. When she looked again, there was nothing! She glanced around, but there wasn't a single person!

  Just go get it from the kitchen yourself! Xia Tong thought and then left the hall!

  The road is unfamiliar, and it took half a day to find the kitchen. After explaining the intention, those kitchen girls were not very welcoming and said that nothing was available!

  Lingguo and Qīn Gōngzhǔ, have long been given the title of "Lingguo's Eyeliner" by others! Wanting others to affectionately call out to you with a warm smile is now impossible!

  "Ah, the emperor is still waiting for me by the Heart Lake, but there's no plate, what can I do?" Xia Tong muttered to herself, seemingly unintentionally.

  "Yes, yes, yes!" Instantly, several exquisite plates were presented before his eyes. Upon looking at the person presenting the plates, he also had a flattering expression on his face.

  Hehe! Dogs look at people! Xia Tong smiled and took it over, thanked and left.

  All the way here, there wasn't a single soul in sight. It's almost noon now, and the sun is scorching hot, so everyone must be hiding indoors! Xia Tong stepped into the hall, with her back to herself, where a little maid was fiddling with the pastries in the box!

  "If you want to eat, I can give some to you, no need to secretly take it, if someone sees you, they will scold you!" Xia Tong suddenly spoke up.

  That little girl let out a cry of surprise, turned around with a pale face, took one look at Xia Tong and immediately knelt down with a "thud": "This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die!"

  Xiatong was taken aback, then immediately stepped forward and pulled her up, looking at her tightly clenched fists and cold sweat, she smiled: "Don't worry! I won't tell anyone that you secretly took the point heart!"

  She was taken aback for a moment, then her expression eased slightly and she smiled: "Thank you, Your Highness. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave!"

  "Hmm!" Natsuki nodded, this little girl is cute, just like her timid self!

  That girl listened and nodded her head in approval, as if she had been greatly forgiven, clenched her fist again, and quickly walked past her side!

  "Wait!" Xia Tong suddenly shouted.

  "Guifei?" Ying Nuo's voice was trembling uncontrollably.

  Xia Tong couldn't help but laugh, she had only secretly taken a few pieces of the cake, and she had already promised not to say anything. She was still afraid that it would turn out like this! She pulled out a silk handkerchief from her bosom, wrapped some of the opened pastries in it, and walked over to stuff them into the hands of the little maid who looked at her in a panic: "If you like it, take some to eat!"

  "Imperial Concubine!" The maid looked at her, then glanced at the pastry in her hand, and her eyes sparkled with tears. She was so moved that she choked back a sob, opened her mouth several times, and finally managed to say two words: "Thank you!"
