Lu Qi and Lu Qi, who was combing her hair, jumped in fright. "Empress, what's wrong?"

Ji Xue-er saw that there was nothing on the bed. Where did the little white snake go? She had obviously stuffed it into the blanket just now? Could it be that its intelligence allowed it to hide somewhere else because it was afraid of being discovered? It should be like this. Otherwise, how could it suddenly disappear?

She was relieved. "Oh, it's fine. I'm just very hungry. I want to eat more later."

If that was the case, was there a need to shout so loudly? Looking at their astonished expressions, Ji Xi`er smiled embarrassedly and did not say much. She herself found the reason hard to accept, so she quickly changed the topic.

"By the way, where is Su Li Mei after dinner yesterday?" She had only asked a casual question, but the answer had surprised her.

"The Empress must be joking with us again. The Monarch was with you last night."

"What did you say?" Ji Shi'er widened her eyes. How was this possible?

"Empress, you've forgotten. Yesterday, when you were bathing, the Monarch entered. He told us not to disturb him, and then we went out."

"…" It can't be? Why she had no impression of it.

She only remembered that she met Little White last night, and what happened after that? What happened next, she couldn't remember at all. Did Su Li Mei really come in?

"Didn't you put me to bed after I fell asleep last night?"

"Empress, what are you talking about?" How could we just walk in when the Monarch was inside? He must have seen you asleep in the bathtub and carried you to the bed himself. "

Wh... What! At that time, she was completely naked while taking a bath. He … He actually …

When she thought about the clothes she had worn when she woke up in the morning, she felt extremely ashamed and angry. Could he have helped her put them on as well? Heavens... What had happened when she didn't know?

Suddenly, he thought of the vague image he had in his mind when he first woke up. The warmth that made his heart pound... But her body still felt normal. It didn't look like it was being violated.

Right, now that he was bearing the identity of the Lunar Silk Smoke, he didn't even have enough time to hate her, so how could he really touch her? Somehow, she felt a sense of loss.

"Empress, it's done!"

At the same time, Lu Qi had finished cleaning the room.

Next, it was time to have breakfast. Ji Xiu-Er initially wanted to bring the little white snake with her, but after getting up, she looked around and did not see it. Forget it, it was better to bring some food back to feed it.

"..."

The breakfast was also very sumptuous, light and nutritious. There were a lot of dishes and the taste was very good. It was very appetizing.

Ji Xi'er was already hungry, but Su Li Mei was not here yet. According to the rules, she could only sit there and wait.

The hand in her sleeve was holding the small porcelain bottle tightly, and her eyes began to dart around the room. She was alone in the room, with several maids waiting outside.

Then she … Do we have to do it now?

If he made a move, then Su Li would die. He thought that since he was the same as Yue Xiuyan, Yue Wuxiu would not harm his own daughter. He believed that he could save his own life.

If he didn't make a move, not to mention whether Yue Wuxiu would let him off, Su Li Mei wouldn't let her off. Instead of living a life full of worries, he might as well take a gamble. Furthermore, Yue Wuxiu had said that this poison would only cause Su Li Mei to lose her ability; it wouldn't take his life.

When no one was around, she quickly unscrewed the bottle and dripped a drop of venom into the broth in front of her. Soon, the tasteless, colorless liquid melted into the broth without leaving a trace.

Just as she finished doing all of this, she heard footsteps outside the door. She was immediately scared and quickly put away the small bottle. Then, she saw an exceptional genius walk in.

When Su Li saw the trace of panic on her face, he smiled seductively and teased, "What? Is my beloved concubine really starving when she sees Ben Wang so excited?"

If it was before, Ji Xueyan would definitely talk back to him and complain about how slow he was. However, today, she only nodded her head and did not say anything.

Su Li Mei's good-looking brows furrowed slightly. "What happened? Who made this duke's beloved concubine angry?"

Please, she wasn't angry. She was clearly feeling guilty!

"No …." "No!"

"Then it seems like it's still This King's fault. If I'm late and my beloved concubine gets hungry, just eat. There's no need to wait for This King."

This could be considered Su Li Mei's special treatment. Lu Qi and Lu Li both said that other than her, the Emperor had never treated anyone so well before. However … But she had to be wary of him.

"That... Let's hurry up and eat! " It was easier for her to get down to business as soon as possible.

When she raised her head and met his unimaginably beautiful eyes, she immediately felt a wave of guilt. She didn't dare to look into his eyes and always felt that the things she wanted to do could be seen through by him …

She quickly lowered her head to eat. Previously, she had never been as quiet as she was now when she was chattering.

Su Li Mei ate gracefully without taking her eyes off her. He knew what this girl was thinking. She was facing an enemy that was going to kill him, yet he was so calm.

After a few mouthfuls of food, Ji Xi`er felt that she needed to do something about it.

She looked up, scooped a bowl of soup with her spoon, and placed it in front of him.

"Monarch, today's soup is pretty good. It tastes pretty good. Try it."

Su Li's charming gaze drifted across the small bowl that she handed over without leaving a trace, then he looked at her somewhat evasive eyes. "Why does my beloved concubine call me so unfamiliar today?"

"Ah, what's wrong?"

"Before, you either addressed This King directly by his name or with a casual tone. Why have you suddenly become so respectful today? This King is truly not used to it."

"Yes …" Is that so? That is because of how much of an offense Smoke Powder had previously committed. I hope that Monarch does not get angry. "

"No, you and I are husband and wife, so we don't need to be so formal. We can do whatever we want in the future, whatever we want. This King still likes to look like before we loved our wives."

"..."

Could she give him three words — cheap bones?

However, for some reason, there was a surge of warmth in his heart. What could women do the most to resist? It was a man's favor, especially to be able to hold her in his hands and protect her like this. He knew it was very likely to be fake, but she … But he still couldn't control himself.

Ji Xi`er could not laugh at all. Her lips moved but she said, "It's going to get cold if I don't drink it now."

"Since the beloved concubine is the one to make the soup for this king, This King will just drink it." Her slender hands gently held up the bowl. Her movements were extremely slow. Ji Xi'er's eyes were also staring at the bowl. Her heart started to beat faster.

Was he going to drink it? You really want to drink it?

Her beautiful eyes met his, "Why does my beloved concubine keep looking at This King?"

Ji Xi'er was startled as she averted her eyes. "Because …" Because you're good-looking. " Although she was speaking from the bottom of her heart and was speaking the truth, this wasn't the time to talk about it right?

Su Li Mei smiled seductively. "This king is very pleased to receive such an evaluation from my beloved concubine."

He did not procrastinate, and did not hesitate any longer. This time, he lifted the bowl and was finally ready to drink.

The jade bowl was already close to her lips. At this moment, the images of those scenes suddenly appeared before her eyes. He took her on a tour around the imperial city, looking at the beautiful scenery and doting on her as much as he could. She was skipping and skipping as she walked in front while he followed behind her every step of the way.

Thinking about the past few days, although he didn't know if there was really a conspiracy or not, he had never treated her harshly. Instead, he doted on her with all his heart, and now she was helping others frame him. This … Was he repaying kindness with enmity?

"Wait …" Just as he was about to finish the bowl of soup, Ji Xi'er suddenly shouted.

Su Li Mei's hand stopped. She looked at Ye Xiao with a questioning look.

"My beloved concubine, what's wrong?"

Ji Xiu-Er pursed her lips and rushed over without saying a word. She took the bowl from his hand and threw it on the ground. She then called for someone to come and take away the whole bowl of soup.

At the last moment, she discovered that she couldn't do anything. She couldn't stand by and watch him drink the soup mixed with venom.

Although Yue Wuxiu had told her that the Netherworld Udumbara Flower's poison wouldn't have harmed his life, she had known Su Li Mei for the past two days. With his arrogant identity, if he were to lose all his mana and be bullied by others, he would feel worse than dead, wouldn't he?

Furthermore, since Yue Wuxiu hated him so much, he would definitely not let him off. She … Was he really going to help the evil?

She regretted it, so she knocked the bowl over without a care. She also didn't consider the consequences of waiting for her to do so.

No matter which one it was, she would not be able to survive the coercion of Yue Wuxiu or the punishment of Su Li Mei.

"It looks like my beloved concubine isn't in a good mood today. Just who made her angry? Say it out loud, This King will help you." Even though it was already very obvious that this woman was very stupid and didn't know how to put on an act, all the thoughts in her mind were hanging on her face, but … He was a very good spectator.

Ji Xi'er looked at his gentle and doting smile, but she felt that it was all right. She had already done such a thing and almost made him drink the poison. Why was he still wearing the same expression?

With Su Li's intelligence, how could he not know what was going on? Now that things had come to this point, there was a reason why she could be punished. Why wasn't he angry?

"You don't need to pretend anymore!" Ji Xi'er could not take it anymore. This was a psychological torture to her, "You know there is a problem with the soup, but why are you still drinking it? Are you trying to make me feel guilty? "

Su Li Mei blinked innocently. "Is there a problem with the soup?" What problem is that? That was personally made by my beloved concubine. How can This King not drink it? Could it be that my beloved concubine is playing a prank on This King? Say, do you have mud or are there little bugs inside? You're really naughty! "
