Chapter 20: The Emperor's Assassination Plan (3)

Mu Jingzhao looked at the table full of dishes, looking very interested.

She sat down beside Mu Jingzhao, but she didn't know where to start.

At this time, it was getting late, the candles were flickering, and the aroma of food filled the room.

The doors and windows in the hall were closed, and Jiang Ning didn't dare to look at Mu Jingzhao's smiling face, but he straightened his body and looked helpless.

A thin layer of oil floated on the chicken soup on the table, and the temperature of the food dissipated in the stagnant air.

Mu Jingzhao was not in a hurry, just sat quietly beside her and did not move his chopsticks.

Jiang Ning felt as if her thoughts were entangled in the air along with the aroma of food scattered in the room, making her inexplicably a little dizzy.

Her whole body tensed, her hands trembling slightly, and her cheeks burning slightly from the suffocating air.

She even felt her mind start to get confused, and she couldn't remember where she was, how much rat poison she had added to the chicken soup, whether it was lethal or not, and what the old lady had told her.

The parrot in the cage in the house also seemed to realize the impending disaster, and kept flying in the cage with a wail, causing the cage to sway from side to side, making one stabbing sound after another.

It disturbs people's hearts.

She was dizzy, her mouth was dry, and after struggling for a long time, she finally got up resolutely and pushed the window open.

The cold wind instantly poured into the cold palace, blowing away all the dullness and depression in the house.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but shudder.

Vaguely, she felt that outside the window of the black hole, a pair of eyes were staring intently at what was happening in the room.

However, Jiang Ning had no time to take care of these at this time, she turned around and sat back beside Mu Jingzhao.

She swallowed hard and got up to fill herself with a bowl of chicken soup.

Her mind was in shambles, and her hands trembled several times before she almost spilled the chicken soup.

She had no idea that the bowl of chicken soup had been filled with rat poison by her.

At this moment, now, she only felt that she needed to drink something, and the uneasiness in her heart was suppressed, and the mouth in her mouth was dry.

But out of politeness, she still sent the soup in her hand to Mu Jingzhao.

"Let's take a sip of soup to moisten your throat first, Your Majesty." She struggled to squeeze a few words out between her teeth.

Mu Jingzhao also seemed to sense her uneasiness and crampedness, didn't say anything, only nodded slightly, then lowered his head, picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of chicken soup, and sent it to his mouth.

At this moment, an invisible stone, clothed in the moonlight, came out of the window, breaking the wind, and hit the parrot cage directly.

The parrot cage shook violently in the air and landed with a muffled "thump".

The caged parrot seemed to have no idea of this, and let out a shrill howl, struggling to break free from its cage.

Parrot feathers fluttered to the ground.

Jiang Ning and Mu Jingzhao held the spoon in their hands, and they trembled almost at the same time, the spoon came off, and the chicken soup spilled out and spilled on the table, leaving a mottled stain.

Jiang Ning didn't have time to care about so much, he just trembled his hands again, took out two new spoons from the cutlery plate on the side, handed one to Mu Jingzhao, and put the other into his own bowl.

Her smile was far-fetched, and the whole person was unrelenting, "It should be that the quality of this cage is not very good, and it will be good to change to a new cage later." ”

She was absent-minded, and she didn't have time to look at Mu Jingzhao's face, nor did she have time to care about whether this bowl of chicken soup was already cold.

She shuddered and scooped a spoonful of chicken broth and brought it to her mouth, blowing nonchalantly.

Xu was blowing too hard, and the soup in the spoon that had completely solidified was spilled in the direction of her blowing, and all of it fell into the bowl in front of her.

In the blink of an eye, there was only a piece of yellow grease the size of a fingernail left in the spoon.

But she didn't hear it, and sent the spoon to her mouth.

Another stone, with a sharp sound, passed through the window and hit the porcelain spoon in Jiang Ning's hand.

The porcelain spoon made a crisp sound and shattered in an instant.

"Ahh

Jiang Ning let out a scream and instantly bounced away from his position.

At this time, there were already fragments of broken porcelain spoons scattered on the table.

And that small stone was falling at Jiang Ning's feet.

Mu Jingzhao seemed to have realized something, and looked up at the window.

At this time, it was the fifteenth day, and on the night of the full moon, the bright moonlight was sprinkled unscrupulously in every corner of the cold palace, making the cold palace like day.

But he still didn't notice anything unusual.

But he found the small stone at Jiang Ning's feet, which could be seen everywhere in the palace.

Jiang Ning was still in shock, she looked at the mess on the table, as if she didn't know what was going on.

Mu Jingzhao was a little unbearable, he slowly got up, walked to Jiang Ning's side, put his palm on her shoulder, and shook it hard.

"Concubine Ning." His lips squirmed, as if he was considering his words, "Otherwise, let's not eat today." ”

He gently patted Jiang Ning on the shoulder, trying to suppress the trembling intent on her body.

"The ancestor said that when you do everything that God is constantly obstructing, it means that God is warning you to stop in time and not to continue."

It was incredibly difficult for him to pour out every word.

Mu Jingzhao was in a trance, he always talked endlessly every day when he went to the court to face the overwhelming problems of the ministers in the court.

But why did he suddenly become clumsy when he came to Jiang Ning.

But what Mu Jingzhao didn't expect was that instead of appeasing Jiang Ning, this sentence aroused a certain unyielding tenacity in Jiang Ning's heart.

She was pale, biting her lower lip with difficulty, and shaking her head desperately.

"No, I don't believe it." She exhaled with all her might, trying to calm the tremors in her heart.

"I never believed in God's will." She slowly brushed off Mu Jingzhao's hand and walked back to the table step by step.

She looked at the delicacies that had been cooled down, and a hint of almost ruthless determination flashed in her eyes, "I only believe that man will conquer the sky." ”

Jiang Ning sat down at the table again, Mu Jingzhao looked at everything she had done in a daze, and the piercing coldness coming from Jiang Ning's palm made him a little frightened.

By the time he looked up again, Jiang Ning had already cleaned up the mess on the table and re-arranged the brand-new tableware in her and Mu Jingzhao's place.

So he could only walk to his position and sit down.

Jiang Ning refilled a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Mu Jingzhao, this time, her hands were no longer trembling.

"Your Majesty, let's eat."

She looked at Mu Jingzhao, her eyes were resolute like never before.

Mu Jingzhao quietly looked at Jiang Ning's firm side face, hesitated for a moment, picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of chicken soup that was already cold, and sent it to his mouth.
