Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Grand Gift for Xuanyuan Locen

hem, a carriage crafted from agarwood slowly drove back towards them. The fine curtain lifted, revealing a handsome yet unhealthy pale face. 。Su Qingying raised an eyebrow. If her memory served her co...Xi'er ran all the way back to the vicinity of Liu Yun Palace. Her cute face was slightly flushed from the heat, like a red apple that had been dipped in water. 。 “Red sugar water” 。Mo Xuan made a light leap and landed in front of Xi Er. He held out a bowl of red sugar water, his voice flat and emotionless. 。Bo Hyun appeared too suddenly. Xi'er was already running, and for a moment couldn't brake in time, so she could only watch helplessly as she crashed into his chest. 。"Ouch!" It felt like she had bumped her nose against a pillar. Xi'er's nose was almost flattened, tears welling up in her eyes. She clutched her nose and stayed crouched on the ground for a long time before she could get up. 。Mo Xuan remained motionless, once again opening his mouth in a cool, indifferent tone: "Red sugar water" 。"Red sugar water, you sister! How come it's you again, you bastard Don't you know how to walk properly It's great that you have martial arts skills!" At the sight of Mo Xuan, Xi'er immediately flared up, puffing out her cheeks and glaring at him. 。Xi'er had been following Su Qingying for many days and was more or less infected by her fierce personality. 。Mo Xuan lightly glanced at Xi'er. Her red nose made him want to chuckle, and her puffed-up cheeks were undeniably cute. 。He had never interacted with women before. His mission was always assassination. Yesterday, she accidentally knocked over a porcelain bowl, wetting his trousers. The anger that should have risen in his eyes dissipated when he saw her flustered and embarrassed expression. 。When reporting back to his master at Huijin Palace, he, who had never uttered a lie, actually helped her cover up the past by speaking on her behalf. Afterward, even he himself was stunned. 。"Your nose " 。Seeing her swollen nose, Mo Hyun frowned slightly. 。 "It's all your fault!" Xi'er rubbed her nose, glaring at him unhappily. "Who are you anyway Why do you keep coming to Liuyun Palace and bringing me sugar water" 。He spoke plainly: "I followed the master's order to deliver red sugar water to the Eastern Mountain's Fifth Princess." 。"To the princess Who is your master" Upon hearing that it was for Su Qingying, Xi'er instinctively reached out to take the porcelain bowl. 。

"King Regent of Bei Ling" 。Upon hearing this, Xi’er's hand trembled, almost spilling the porcelain bowl again. Suddenly, she felt the red sugar water in her hands was as heavy as a thousand jun. "Was this given to the princess by the Northern Ridge Regent King"Xi’er's heart skipped a beat again. Yesterday's bowl... No need to think about it, it must have also been sent by the Regent King to the princess, but she had just knocked it over. She felt like crying. 。"Well, " 。“Since the brown sugar water has already been delivered, Mo Xuanduan had no reason to stay any longer. Before leaving, he hesitated for a moment and asked, “Your name” 。"Cumin..." Xi'er was already flustered, her mind full of only the cumin and five-spice powder Su Qingying had told her about. By the time she reacted, Mo Xuan had already left 。On the other side, the imperial kitchen was in a frenzy, with chefs running around like headless chickens. Time was running out before Emperor Xuan Yuan Luo Chen's meal time, and the little chefs were overwhelmed. 。Su Qingying effortlessly blended into the imperial kitchen. At a glance, her gaze was immediately drawn to the mountains of delicacies on the table. 。"Whoa! Xuan Yuan Gou Huang eats way too luxuriously, right There's Kung Pao Chicken, Sweet and Sour Carp, Crystal Pig Trotters... It's such a waste!" Su Qingying swallowed her drool, picked up the Kung Pao Chicken in front of her and inhaled deeply, "Mmm~ so fragrant..." 。With so many dishes, Xuan Yuan Gou Huang definitely can't eat so much. It would be a shame to waste it, why not let this old lady help him eliminate some 。Having made up her mind, Su Qingying picked up the palace-style diced chicken and crystal pig trotters and crawled under the table. She ate with gusto, the sound of crunching bones constantly coming from the imperial kitchen. 。"Strange, did you hear any strange noises" A little eunuch stood before Su Qingying and looked around. 。"What sound are you talking about You must have misheard. Hurry up and get ready for the Emperor's lunch. If the Emperor blames us, can you take responsibility" A eunuch a few years older than the other spoke in a low, sly voice. The young eunuch was frightened and quickly started to clean up. 。Su Qingying finished a plate of Gongbao Chicken and Crystal Tendons in three or two bites. Looking at the empty plates, she thought for a moment, feeling that it was somehow disrespectful to Xuan Yuan Locen this way. 。From the corner of her eye, she glimpsed a plump hen in the corner, destined for slaughter. Her dark eyes darted back and forth, and a calculating expression flashed across her pretty face. 。"Hee hee, reciprocity is important. After eating your little chicken, I'll return you a big rooster." 。Su Qingying picked up a small stone and, with a slight squeeze between her two fingers, the poor hen fainted before it could even utter a cry. 。Su Qingying tiptoed and picked up the chicken, her malicious thoughts were raging in her heart. With a wicked grin, she plucked all its feathers and shoved the whole bird into the vegetable dish, posing it seductively. She then took a few leaves to cover the shy three points. 。"Very good, very good. The posture is quite captivating. I hope Xuan Yuan Gu Mao will like it." 。"He chuckled mischievously, Su Qingying covered the dish with a sly smile and took some pepper powder and scallions before quietly leaving. On her way back, she couldn't help but grin obscenely." 。Just as Su Qingying had just left, the eunuch in charge of Xuan Yuan Luochen's meals followed right behind her, shouting in a shrill voice, "Are you all ready The Emperor is eager to eat, hurry up and serve the food!" "Yes, Eunuch..." 。Several eunuchs and palace maids each carrying a platter of dishes lined up to go to the Qianyining Palace. After placing the dishes in order on the table, they bowed their heads and left. 。"Your Majesty, dinner is ready." 。 。"Mmm 。He gave a faint reply and sat down at the table. For some reason, his brow twitched violently, and he had a bad premonition. 。 Xuanyuan Luocheng picked up his chopsticks and ate a few bites. At this time, Xiaofuzi, very obsequiously, stepped forward and pointed at the宮保雞丁 (Gongbao chicken) that Su Qingying had switched, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is your favorite Gongbao chicken. Would you like to try it" "Bring it over, open the lid" 。Xuan Yuan Luo Chen frowned, his gaze fell on that plate of Gong Bao chicken, his brow furrowed even tighter, the uneasy feeling in his heart grew stronger. 。"Yes, 。Xiaofuzi eagerly snatched the lid of the dish, but her expression instantly turned to terror upon seeing what was inside. A plucked black chicken lay in the white porcelain dish with a mesmerizing pose. Its expression was haughty, its wings resting on the edge of the dish, and its legs were long and dark, overlapping each other. Slightly covered by vegetable leaves, it was truly a bewitchingly beautiful chicken! "Dare you mock me!" Xuan Yuan Locen's temples bulged with anger, his whole body trembling, his eyes blazing with fury. 。With a palm strike against the table, the emperor's fury erupted. Everyone was petrified, collapsing to the ground and prostrating themselves, unable to raise their heads. They couldn't fathom how this chicken had miraculously survived. 。 And when Xuanyuan Locen slapped forcefully, the dazed crane chicken that Su Qingying had knocked unconscious instantly woke up. Seeing its feathers plucked clean, it leaped in rage and pecked fiercely at Xuanyuan Locen's exquisite dragon face!eped from the corner of Su Qingying's already pale lips."Lightly, how are you hurt" Zhao Tianyu carried her on his back, his speed undiminished, his wild and unrestrained voice betraying concern."I'm...
