Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 233 She dare not

After Yun Yin agreed, she quickly stepped out of the threshold, and took the tray from the young lady-in-waiting, which contained two bowls of soup.

There is a curl of white mist floating on the pale white chicken soup, steaming hot, and the aroma goes straight to the tip of the nose.

She placed a bowl in front of Concubine Duan and Nan Zhen respectively, and then stepped aside respectfully.

Concubine Duan picked up the spoon and stirred it, scooped up half a spoonful, and put it in the corner of her mouth, but she didn't drink it in a hurry, she just said, "It smells really good."

Seeing that Nan Zhen didn't move, she said, "Try it."

Nan Zhen glanced at her, looked into her smiling eyes, then lowered her head, and picked up a spoon to stir the soup.

Dongyue watched anxiously from the side, and couldn't help clenching her hands tightly until her nails turned white.

Everything she had seen, heard, and experienced in the past kept reminding her that something might be wrong with this soup.

His Majesty took care of the empress half the night in the cold palace, although she and Xiao Guizi knew in their hearts that they had never had close contact, but in the eyes of outsiders, this was not the case.

They would think that His Majesty favored the empress, and worried that the empress would threaten their position if she became pregnant in the future, so they planned ahead and prescribed medicine in advance, so that the empress could not conceive.

Rao Dongyue tried her best to cover up her worries, but she still couldn't stop showing them through her eyes.

Concubine Duan glanced at her with a half-smile, and quickly turned her gaze back to Nan Zhen, "Why don't you drink it? Could it be that you're afraid that Bengong might have mixed it with something else?"

"I believe..." Nan Zhen paused, "Your Majesty is not such a person."

She picked up the soup bowl, scooped up half a spoonful, and slowly put it into her mouth.

He stared at Concubine Duan all the time, not letting go of any slight expression on her face.

Concubine Duan did not look away, watching her swallow slowly.

In a silent contest, whoever can't hold back first will lose.

Dongyue wished she could step forward to grab the bowl, but when she was about to take a step, she saw Nan Zhenbi's gesture and told her not to move.

So at this moment, I can only stand where I am.

Nan Zhen put it down after taking two sips, "It tastes great, and the cooks in your mother's small kitchen are very skilled."

Concubine Duan looked at Nan Zhen, then at Dongyue behind her, with a slightly disappointed expression, "Well, so-so."

After speaking, he also took a sip.

What should be said has already been said, Nan Zhen didn't want to stay long, so she got up and said, "Thank you for your hospitality today, I am a little tired, I want to go back to rest first, so I will leave first."

"Ah."

Concubine Duan responded, she didn't intend to get up, she just ordered, "Yun Yin, send them off."

"Yes."

Yun Yin took a step forward, "Concubine Li came here with her servants."

Nan Zhen nodded and left quickly with Dongyue.

After walking a certain distance, Dongyue saw that there was no one around, so she said to Nan Zhen, "How does your mother feel now? Is there anything unusual? Do you want Dr. Yu to come over and take a look?"

"No need."

Nan Zhen walked forward along the palace road, she didn't seem to take this matter to heart.

Dongyue couldn't help but stepped forward and lowered her voice, "Why don't you ask Dr. Yu to come over for a consultation, I'm worried..."

"Don't worry, the chicken soup is fine."

Nan Zhen smiled and interrupted her.

Dongyue frowned, "Why are you so sure, Your Majesty? You and Concubine Duan use different bowls, so it's hard to guarantee that they won't make fuss."

When the soup is poured, all the evidence will be wiped out, and there will be nowhere to cry.

Nan Zhen: "She dare not."
