Peerless Concubine: Ghost King, this palace wants to rob

Chapter 97 [Fear of Death]

The area of ​​the imperial garden is very large, surrounded by rockery, the flowing water is refreshing, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing. From time to time, one or two butterflies fly by and dance lightly in response to the occasion.

Near noon, the sun in the sky became more and more poisonous. Several women with poor physical fitness had already turned pale, and their footsteps were weak, as if they could be blown down by a gust of wind. Seeing those women so weak, it was useless for Shen Qing to curse secretly , Then sent someone to send them out of the palace.

They walked along the way and came to the gazebo in the imperial garden. Sitting two by two, Chen Lingling sat with Huo Yuying. Pink, with a layer of water mist reflected in her eyes, it is really a pity, no wonder she sang all the way to the position of imperial concubine.

"Take tea!"

Shen Qingfeng flicked her phoenix robe, and sat solemnly in the middle of the gazebo. Sitting next to her was naturally Qu Jingwan. The two were about the same age, but Qu Jingwan was actually a cold beauty, but there was always a smile on the corner of her lips. , when she smiled, she was even more charming and enchanting, and her beautiful eyes showed a bit of indifference.

As for Shen Qing's first impression, she is not a good person, with meager features, tricky and arrogant, ambitious, maybe she wants more than just a phoenix position.

Chen Lingling lingered among all kinds of people, and she could see through each other's hidden thoughts with just one look. This was the accumulation of experience, and it was the accumulation of after escaping from death.

"You treat her like this, are you not afraid that she will treat you?" Huo Yuying smiled and looked at her while Chen Lingling was thinking.

Chen Lingling came back to her senses and looked back at her. Her golden eyes were indifferent. She smiled, "She seems to be dealing with the concubine all the time."

She pushed away Huo Yuying's words, and she was noncommittal about whether she was afraid that Shen Qing would deal with her.

Huo Yuying's smile gradually deepened, and she stopped talking, but her eyes became brighter as she looked at Chen Lingling.

"I asked the people in the imperial dining room to make this dessert earlier in the morning. You all have to taste it. If you like it, you can take some back when you leave." Shen Qing smiled dignifiedly and kindly, her eyes were full of motherly respect.

Qu Jingwan glanced at the plum cake made from the plum petals collected last year, and said coolly: "I'm afraid that eating last year's plum blossoms will make my stomach worse, so anyone who likes to eat it can take it."

After she finished speaking, Concubine Ru and Xiao Guiren really put down the plum cake that was about to be put into their mouths, and some official women also hesitated to eat it. It stands to reason that the food made by the imperial dining room in the palace will never cause any problems Yes, but in this harem where fish and dragons are mixed together and people are unpredictable, nothing is guaranteed.

Seeing that Chu Lingling hadn't touched the plum cake from the beginning to the end, Huo Yuying couldn't help becoming curious, and smiled like water, "Princess Jinnan is also afraid of bad stomach?"

"I'm afraid of dying."

Chen Lingling blinked, as if she was joking, but she was indeed telling the truth, who knew if someone would have tampered with it.

But since she was sitting here, she has been paying attention to Huo Yuying's complexion. Her face is covered with a layer of light touch-up powder, but Chen Lingling can still see her pale face under the powder. When Huo Yuying opened the teacup, Chen Lingling took a quick glance at the teacup. It was not tea, but sugar water.

The color is the same as the red leaf tea they are drinking now, but her nose has always been sensitive, so it is impossible for her to distinguish between the taste of tea and the taste of sugar water.

Chen Lingling's eyes darkened, and her warm lips curled into an unpredictable arc.
