Su Jin smiled and nodded, a touch of fierceness in his eyes quietly deepened, and he said slowly: "So, you should know that this behavior is only allowed to succeed, not to fail." ”

According to the queen's original idea, if there was any mistake in this operation, she would pretend not to know, put all the blame on Su Jin, and leave it all out herself.

Su Jin had long thought that the queen would fall into the ground, so she had been deliberately concealing the source of the poison, and she chose to say this to the queen at this time, which was an obvious threat, so that the queen had to help her 100% to succeed, otherwise, the three princes would inevitably be implicated, and the queen's last hope would be gone.

The queen was pale, looked at Su Jin with complicated eyes, pursed her lips and suppressed her emotions without having a seizure. This woman is so terrifying, groveling on the surface, showing her eerie minions all the time behind her back, ready to pounce and bite everyone around her.

Such a woman must not be kept after the deed!

Su Jin ignored the hatred and panic in the queen's eyes, took her hand with a smile, and walked towards the door together.

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, the old emperor had just taken a bowl of decoction made into a decoction according to Su Wan's prescription. The Chinese medicine that tonifies the organs is the most bitter, and after drinking it, his face wrinkles in pain, and he waved his hand and ordered: "Go and bring me a sweet heart lotus seed porridge!" ”

"Yes!" The steward's father-in-law put away the medicine bowl, and was about to go out to tell the eunuchs waiting outside the palace, when he suddenly heard a herald's announcement - "The queen has arrived, and the imperial concubine has arrived!" ”

The queen's eyes were not shocked, and she walked in front with a variety of demeanors, and Su Jin followed with a gentle and friendly smile, holding half of her arm.

Behind Su Jin was followed by a servant girl, bowing her head and saying nothing, her face was full of timidity, and she was carrying a delicate sea of food in her hand

"Yo, why did the mother suddenly visit?" After the father-in-law of the steward gave a few words to the eunuch, he greeted him with a smile, blocked the door of the Heart Cultivation Hall without a trace, bent down and said, "Right now, shouldn't Niangniang preside over the fast in Cining Palace?" ”

The father-in-law in charge knew very well in his heart that the old emperor didn't want to see the queen and Su Jin at this moment, so he wanted to do his best to block them and not bother the old emperor.

The queen naturally saw the calculation of her father-in-law, if it was an ordinary eunuch and grandmother, who dared to act like this to her, I am afraid that she would have been given a red by her, dragged down and beaten to death. But the father-in-law in charge grew up with the old emperor, and as the saying goes, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, it is not easy for her to attack him directly.

"Father-in-law, where is this, the queen mother is the mother of the harem, so naturally she has to do everything herself." Su Jin saw that the queen was speechless, so she hurriedly grabbed Bai and said: "Niangniang presided over a day in Cining Palace, and she was worried about Your Majesty's dragon health, so she specially came to visit Your Majesty. ”

The father-in-law of the steward turned his head slightly, made a look of surprise when he saw Su Jin, and bowed again and again: "Clumsy, I didn't have time to say hello to the imperial concubine, it's really a crime that deserves death." ”

Su Jin snorted coldly, and Nunu said: "Okay, don't waste time with us outside the palace, seeing that this sweet porridge is going to be cold, it's better to send it to Your Majesty as soon as possible." ”

"Oh?" A strange look flashed in the eyes of the housekeeper's father-in-law, he looked at the food box in the handmaid's hand, raised an inquiring smile and said: "The imperial concubine has a heart, but I don't know if this food has been tested?" ”

The queen was already a little weak-hearted, and when she heard her father-in-law ask, she turned her head slightly and coughed lightly to hide the dodge in her eyes.

Su Jin still looked like everything was as usual, and smiled: "This sweet porridge was brought out from the queen's kitchen, and it has naturally been tested by tens of millions, so you need to bother?" ”

The queen was stunned for a moment, and glared at Su Jin with some resentment. She didn't expect Su Jin to directly claim that this was a sweet porridge made by her hands, and in this way, she would maintain her honor and disgrace interests in this bowl of sweet porridge.

The steward's father-in-law nodded again and again, although the smile on his face was respectful, but there was still some uncompromising firmness between the words, and said: "Please forgive your sins, your wealth and life are all maintained in Your Majesty's daily life, and you will definitely want the hearts of all families." ”

Then, the father-in-law in charge turned his head slightly, glanced at the drug test officer waiting on the side, and said, "Why don't you come and test the poison?" ”

As soon as she heard that she was going to test the poison, the queen's face suddenly changed, and her face was full of anger: "Okay, you eunuch, you actually bullied the head of the palace?" The sweet porridge sent by this palace personally for His Majesty, you dare to test the poison? ”

The father-in-law in charge bowed again and again, nodded and said: "Niangniang is angry, and she is only doing things according to the rules, and it is not the first time that you have sent food to Your Majesty, so you should naturally understand that poison testing is a link in the palace that cannot be omitted, and you dare not slack off." ”

Between the words, a bad blessing also rose in the heart of the housekeeper's father-in-law, I don't know why, he instantly remembered the words that Su Wan asked him about the drug test in the morning, and after remembering her advice, he didn't dare to take it lightly.

Although he is the number one celebrity next to the old emperor, since he dares to confront the queen like a building, he is mentally prepared to be punished by her. If he can get peace of mind by suffering a little flesh and skin, he is willing.

"You!" The queen mother was annoyed and angry, pointing at the housekeeper's father-in-law who was about to have a seizure, but was pressed down by Su Jin.

Su Jin suppressed the queen's raised hand, glanced at her, signaled her to stop talking for the time being, and said with a smile: "This is about to start summer, it is inevitable to be impetuous, it is normal for everyone to occasionally collide between words, sister, don't embarrass your father-in-law, he also acts according to the rules." ”

"Thank you for your kindness." The father-in-law in charge didn't understand why Su Jin suddenly spoke for him, but he still respectfully thanked him.

The queen looked shocked and glared at Su Jin. Is this woman crazy? Didn't she know what serious the consequences would be if this sweet porridge was tested for poison?

The crime of killing the monarch is a great crime, even if she is the mother of a country, I am afraid that she will be executed by Ling Chi immediately, and the nine clans will be exterminated, and there is no room for ambiguity.

"It's just that we are sympathetic to my father-in-law, and I ask my father-in-law to understand us." Su Jin beckoned, motioned to the maid behind him to come forward, opened the food box, and said: "You see, this sweet porridge is made of exquisite ingredients, and it does not exceed a total of one Rao. ”

In the delicate food box, there is a jade jade bowl with a flowing body, which is filled with soft and fragrant sweet porridge, and some precious medicinal materials are sprinkled on it, which is fragrant and refreshing.

Rao is the father-in-law who is accustomed to seeing jade plate delicacies in the palace, and after seeing this bowl of sweet porridge, his face is not stunned. In addition to its good appearance, the amount of this sweet porridge is indeed a little too small, and it is not much in the bowl, and it is probably only a matter of four or five mouthfuls in the mouth.

"Father-in-law, please hold the other rules of the drug test as usual, but the drug test officer personally tastes this, so let's skip it." Su Jin smiled softly, took a step forward, and looked at the steward with a touch of majesty in his eyes: "You are the person next to Your Majesty, and I and the Queen Mother are Your Majesty's pillow people, and the food sent will naturally not go any way." ”

The queen didn't expect that Su Jin was still hiding this hand, and she was immediately a little impressed by her, so she stopped her voice, threatened the father-in-law in charge with her eyes, and stared at his next move.

"Since this is the case, the slave can only obey the advice of the imperial concubine." The father-in-law in charge hesitated, but nodded in agreement, then moved around and let the drug test officer next to him test the poison with a tool.

After all, these two in front of him are the most powerful and favored women in the harem, and the housekeeper's father-in-law can't afford to block his friendship with them for a bowl of sweet porridge, as an old man in the palace, he can still figure this out quickly.

Moreover, the drug testing methods in the palace are already very sophisticated, and most of the poisons can be detected with instruments alone. Originally, testing for poison was a redundant thing, and the father-in-law in charge also felt that he was a little nervous, and there was no need to do more entanglement.

After a while, the drug test officer put down the instrument, walked aside, bowed his head respectfully, and said, "After the drug test, there is no problem with the sweet porridge." ”

The queen breathed a sigh of relief and regained her elegance and dignity. Su Jin also raised a lukewarm smile, tilted his head and said, "My good father-in-law, you can let us go now, right?" ”

"Yes, of course you can, two mothers, please." The father-in-law of the steward hurriedly nodded and took the queen and Su Jin to the order.

The old emperor was sitting at the table, closed his eyes and pinched his eyebrows a little irritably, and said, "I asked you to serve a sweet heart lotus seed porridge, why is it so long?" Did you go to Jiangnan to pick lotus seeds temporarily? ”

"Your Majesty is really good at laughing, it seems that you are in good spirits today." Su Jinwan smiled, stepped forward gracefully, personally put the food box in front of the old emperor, and said, "It seems that Jin'er really came by chance, just brought you sweet porridge." ”

The old emperor was stunned for a moment, opened his eyes, and saw that Su Jin was still followed by the queen, and immediately frowned slightly.

As a married couple for many years, the old emperor is still very familiar with the queen's character, this woman is the most jealous and vicious, why did she change her personality for a while and be so friendly to this newly appointed imperial concubine?

"Your Majesty, is your dragon body better?" Seeing that the old emperor's puzzled gaze fell on her, the queen felt a pang in her heart, and hurriedly put on a concerned smile and walked up to ask for warmth.

Although the queen now has a ghost in her heart, such warm words are very touching in the ears of the old emperor. Because the deadline is approaching, the old emperor has changed his original view of many things around him, and has become more tolerant and relaxed.

This woman has been with her for decades, but she hasn't given her a smile for a long time. The old emperor sighed, and his heart couldn't help but be a little desolate.

"The queen has been a lot haggard recently, and I think it was because of my poor health that the queen mother's funeral planning fell on you alone." The old emperor stretched out his hand and slowly shook the queen's hand.

Because the queen was weak-hearted, she broke out in a cold sweat on her back, and her hands and feet were very cold. She was coldly held by the old emperor, and she trembled with surprise.

"Why is it so cold?" The old emperor frowned and sighed, and instructed the housekeeper next to him, "Go and get a hand warmer for the queen." ”

"Yes." The steward's father-in-law answered, bowed his head and walked out.

The queen can't remember how many years the old emperor hasn't taken the initiative to shake her hand, but now that he is holding it like this, the dusty warmth and touching come to her heart again, and her eyes suddenly oozed zero tears, and she said slowly: "Your Majesty......"

"If you talk well, why are your eyes moist?" The old emperor smiled faintly, wiped the corners of the queen's eyes with his hand, and said gently: "This summer, I will take you to Xiangyang City, where your mother's house is located, how are you?" ”

The old emperor knew that his life would not exceed three months at most, and in the few time he had, he wanted to make up for some of the people around him as much as possible. He was ready to officially abdicate after half a month, eliminating the link of canonizing the crown prince, passing the throne directly to Xiao Mochen, and then he returned to the countryside, traveled around, and talked about the rest of his life.

These words are like a bladed warm knife, which accurately falls on the weakness of the queen's heart. Her steps were chaotic, and she was about to be attacked by the old emperor.

"Ah, Your Majesty, if you patronize this, the sweet porridge will be cold." Su Jin raised his voice, broke the warm picture in time, and took out the jade bowl in the food box and put it in front of the old emperor.

The sweet porridge has a bright color and a long-lasting aroma, and the old emperor's eyes lit up, and he said casually: "This is the porridge made in the kitchen?" ”

"What's the matter, this is the sweet medicinal porridge that the queen mother personally washed her hands and soup, and was slowly simmered for Your Majesty." Su Jin smiled and stretched out his hand around the old emperor, bent down and handed over the white jade spoon, and said, "Your Majesty, eat it while it's hot, it's the most sweet and delicious." ”

"Hmm." The old emperor didn't think much about it, so he took the spoon and lowered his head to scoop it.

"Your Majesty!" The queen's eyes widened violently, and she took a step, trying to reach out to stop the old emperor's movements. But Su Jin firmly restrained her arm at the first time and threw a threatening look at her.

"What's wrong?" The old emperor glanced back at the empress a little strangely, he didn't notice Su Jin's movements.

"The queen is afraid that the sweet porridge is cold, and I want to ask you if you want to heat it up." Su Jin smiled sweetly, while increasing the strength of the clamping queen in his hand.

"No need, the sweet porridge is still warm, just in the mouth." The old emperor turned his head and began to eat.

The queen stared at the old emperor's back, endless sorrow flashed in her eyes, and she didn't know how to choose, but since she had already boarded Su Jin's thief ship, she had no chance to come down halfway.

If the old emperor knew that she and Su Jin had poisoned the sweet porridge, I am afraid that he would directly order her to be beheaded, and there would be no room for maneuver. The pain in her wrist gradually spread to her heart, and tears flashed in the queen's eyes, and a wipe of tears slid down her face.
