Chapter 41: The Helplessness of Conspiracy (2)

  "Where is the Emperor?"

  A gentle voice came from behind, Xia Tong smiled and immediately turned around, but the smile froze at the corner of her mouth.

  At the entrance of the backlight, Mu Beichen stood there with Ruo Feng's Flowing Swallow, looking at her with a gentle face.

  She suppressed the sourness in her heart, telling herself that it was just a minor illness and she shouldn't be so petty. Taking a deep breath, she quickly put on a well-adjusted smile: "The Emperor and Cheng have gone to Heart Lake, I'm going to send them some pastries!" Xia Tong said, pointing to the pastry box on the table.

  "Imperial Concubine, let me help you with that!" Liú Yīng smiled and gently supported Mù Běi Chén for a moment before walking over with light steps.

  Xia Wugui was surprised and couldn't help but think of Cheng's words. He couldn't help but ask: "Has the princess's illness been cured?"

  Her slender figure stopped, her misty eyes lifted, and she looked at Xiaotong with a glance, then turned to look at Muruocheng with a smile: "Since the king's rise, this illness has been following me for many years. It can't be cured, nor can it kill me. Once the pain is gone, everything will be fine!"

  "Oh!"

  Xia Tong couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy, but it disappeared when she looked at Mu Bei Chen. His eyes were filled with deep regret, and he knew that in this lifetime, he owed her!

  In a daze, Liuying had already walked over with the tray of pastries, "Imperial Concubine, let's go to Heart Lake together!" She said softly, her careful steps suddenly slipping.

  "Be careful!" Mu Beichen took a step forward and immediately hugged her, anxiously asking: "Are you okay?"

  "Hmm!" Liu Ying responded, looking at Xia Tong: "Let's go!"

  In an instant, her heart was filled with all sorts of emotions, and the two figures stuck together in front of her pierced her eyes like a sharp pain. At this moment, she didn't want to see this scene at all! She bit her lip and forced out a smile that looked very natural: "You guys go first! I'll come later!"

  "Wait!" Mu Beichen shouted, his footsteps slowing with a hint of hesitation.

  "Let's go!" Xia Tong smiled at him and said, "I'll pack this up and come over!" As she spoke, she pointed to the open snack box on the table!

  She's making excuses for herself, she's afraid that if things continue like this, will she still be able to remain calm and face it with a smile? She's afraid that in the end, she won't be able to hold back and will burst out.

  Mù Běi Chén and Liú Yīng have left! The restless heart has finally calmed down slowly in the quiet environment!

  It's time to go! Xia Tong stood up and closed the box. On the small red wood table, next to the cookie box, there was a bit of white powder!

  Is it almond cream? Xia Tong pinched a bit between her fingers, but it didn't seem like it! She brought her hand to her nose and sniffed, there was no smell at all!

  Forget it! What's the point anyway? Can't just drag on like this!

  She had just closed the box when she heard a distant murmur of voices!

  What's going on? Why such a big commotion? Xia Tong took her things and walked out, with faint whispers of " dim sum, guifei" coming from within!

  She glanced over from the side window and saw that group of people coming with a menacing attitude, among them was the little girl she had met when she first arrived!

  Suddenly, a pause in his heart!

  Sneak a bite? Is it necessary? In the grand hall of Beiwang Fu. What is that white, unidentifiable powder again? The growing noise of people approaching from over there?

  Xiatong was anxious, what should she do? What to do?

  In her panic, she caught sight of the pastry box in her hand, and with a surge of joy, quickly opened it, picked up a piece, and took a big bite! A wave of bitterness welled up in her heart: knowing full well that this thing was poisonous, yet unable to not swallow it down! Knowing clearly that someone was harming her, knowing clearly that he was right there, yet she still had to protect herself in this way!

  With a sudden burst of footsteps, the slightly ajar door was pushed open with great force, almost knocking into Xiaotong who was eating snacks and about to go out.

  "How did you all come back? I was still preparing to go over there?" With a look of incomprehension and a face full of bewilderment.

  Everyone's face was frozen in an instant, as if they were all suddenly fixed in place. All sorts of expressions appeared on different faces, it was incredibly vivid!

  "Throw it away, the pastry is poisonous!" Mu Beichuan stepped forward and knocked the pastry out of Xiaotong's hand, grabbing her and scolding "You dead woman, how much did you eat? Hurry up and spit it out!"

  How can what's eaten be spat out?! Xia Tong was just about to argue. A figure flashed before her eyes, and her body was immediately swept up in a horizontal hug.

  "Quickly go and invite Dr. Chen!"

  Hehe, can this sentence of anxious angry shout also be used on her?
