Evil Phoenix: The Queen's Good Conspiracy

Chapter 22: Tit for Tat (2)
How could it be possible for him, a mighty general on the battlefield... how could he lose to a woman who had never been born in the palace!
"The empress is really cunning." Zuo Xun gritted his teeth and said, the teeth were all rattled.

Mu Qing suddenly frowned, and withdrew all the smiles on her face just now, her blue eyes showed a sense of menace.

"Whoever comes with you on the battlefield is a gentleman! This palace has saved enough face for you. You are the general of the Nanyue dynasty. Don't you know how many soldiers will be killed if you underestimate the enemy!"

After Mu Qing finished speaking, she piled all the sand in the sand table beside her in front of Zuo Xun bit by bit, and said fiercely: "You know, I saved your life. You, General Zuo Xun, think that If you win a game, you will despise your opponent." Mu Qing paused for a moment, narrowed her eyes, then crushed the plate of sand into a piece of sand, and said with certainty, "If this is a battlefield, you will definitely be captured! "

After Su Muqing finished speaking, she put the catkins back into her sleeves, flung off her sleeves without hesitation and turned around, then turned her eyes to him and said: "If you have any dissatisfaction, I will wait for the general at any time." Snorted With a sound, she slowly walked out of the circle surrounded by the little eunuchs, but there was indeed a little anger on her quiet face.

As an expert in strategic research, she knew better than anyone that a small mistake by a general would cause tens of thousands of soldiers to be buried in a pool of blood.Her refutation of Zuo Xun today was like a wake-up call to him and saved his life.Otherwise, in the next battle of the Jin Kingdom, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated!
At this moment, Zuo Xun was silent, because he knew that he underestimated the enemy, so he was completely defeated!On his face, he could no longer find the previous unruliness, instead it was replaced by a heavier heart.After all, Zuo Xun is not a child, he knows all kinds of relationships better than anyone else, and he will not be completely unaware of the fact that she saved his life.

Mu Qing slightly pursed her lips, and didn't say anything more to Zuo Xun. She believed that such a mature general would understand her thoughts.She moved forward slowly, and the eunuchs around did not stop her anymore, and then she stopped in front of Beitangfeng, raised her eyes slightly, showing a little tiredness on her face.The two seemed to be looking at each other for a long time before she passed Beitangfeng and slowly walked behind him.

Beitangfeng lowered his eyes and didn't say anything.Because whether it is him, Beitang Mo, or anyone who is familiar with military books, when they see the open flame lit on the grass, they will know what the outcome will be.

"This kind of war game is just a game of war, it's not hurtful." Beitangfeng said suddenly, he walked past lightly, took the water next to him without hesitation, and quietly extinguished the fire.Then with a wink, the young eunuchs around him dispersed one after another.

Suddenly, Beitangfeng changed into another look, he smiled, then looked at Zuo Xun and said loudly: "As expected of my general, queen, how can I be an opponent!"

After finishing speaking, the royal family and nobles who were still a little confused outside suddenly understood, and they all shouted for General Zuo Xun to be wise.But at this moment, Zuo Xun understood better than anyone else that if the emperor didn't do this, he, the general who lost to the queen, would no longer have the prestige to lead the three armies.

Therefore, in front of everyone, he must "win"!
And this point, I am afraid that the queen thought of it the moment she left the tent, otherwise she would not have surrounded this place with so many people. Only he knows who will win and who will lose!
This woman who was despised by him actually helped him again.

Zuo Xun gritted his teeth tightly, his eyes shot out a kind of doubt and struggle, because he couldn't figure it out, how could Liu Huirong treat women with viciousness and ruthlessness in his mouth, how could he show mercy to his men.

As if seeing Zuo Xun's concerns, Beitang Feng suddenly broke the silence: "I just had a good time watching it, but the competition is a competition, so I can't hurt the peace. Come, I want to fight with the Queen and General Zuo Xun, Let's have a drink."

After finishing speaking, he grabbed Mu Qing's waist and pushed her slightly in front of Zuo Xun.

Mu Qing, who also calmed down, stared at Zuo Xun for a while, put on a calm smile again, and said, "Congratulations General, Congratulations General. You should drink this wine."

Zuo Xun was still staring at Mu Qing, with doubts in his eyes.

At this moment, the palace ladies brought three glasses of wine one after another, and gave them to Beitangfeng, Zuo Xun, and finally Mu Qing one by one.Mu Qing took the wine and smelled it a little.It really is the best wine in the city.

But at this moment, something seemed to pass through her mind, so she quietly glanced at Liu Huirong who was not far away.I saw that she didn't look at her, but lowered her head, with a faint smile on her lips, and she was very quiet, a little too quiet.

Mu Qing frowned, and turned the fingertips holding the wine glass a few times.She remembered that the person hosting the banquet today was Concubine Liu.And with Concubine Liu's own temperament, she must have resorted to some small trick.Although Concubine Liu is jealous, she should not be a fool who doesn't even have a sense of the overall situation. There should be nothing in this wine that could affect her life or ruin the banquet.

It is estimated that this wine is stuffed with chili powder or something like a child.Mu Qing couldn't help but smile a little, and suddenly thought of a small plan in her mind to return to Jingbei Tangfeng's previous behavior of "old, weak and disabled soldiers".

When the other two were about to pick up their cups and drink it all down, Mu Qing suddenly said, "Ah, wait a minute."

Beitangfeng stopped for a while, frowned and turned his eyes, and whispered: "What?"

Mu Qing coughed twice, looked to the left and searched: "In ancient times, no dragon is a dragon, and a phoenix is ​​a phoenix. Of course, the dragon and the phoenix must be auspicious, so that they can be passed down for generations."

"What do you mean?" Beitangfeng frowned, feeling a little more vigilant in his heart.

"The courtiers and concubines should drink with the emperor in exchange for wine. In this way, the dragon and the phoenix will be auspicious, which is a good omen!" After Mu Qing finished speaking, before Bei Tangfeng could reply, she slightly changed the wine glasses in the hands of the two of them, making the Beitangfeng's face became even stiffer.

But at this moment, Mu Qing quietly looked at Concubine Liu again, and saw her expression changed drastically, and she started to feel a little at a loss.

The fox's tail is exposed.

The tricks of making a fuss are just right... to control evil with evil.

"Please." Mu Qing smiled lightly, then drank the cup in one gulp, then gently wiped the corners of her lips with her cuff, and returned to her faint smile.

Bei Tangfeng frowned, snorted coldly, raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp, Zuo Xun didn't know why, and drank the wine directly.

The three of them drank together, which became a good story, and tens of thousands of people feasted together, once again pushing this unprecedented feast to its climax.

After drinking the wine, Mu Qing approached Beitang Feng, and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, does this wine have any special taste?"

Beitangfeng looked at her coldly, "This wine is fragrant and mellow, it must be a vintage wine. When did the queen start to be interested in wine?"

As soon as these words came out, Mu Qing's heart sank slightly.This wine must be a little tricky, so it should be a harmless little whole.If not in the taste, then where?

Mu Qing glanced at Concubine Liu again, but saw that she was like an ant on a hot pot, she seemed more anxious than before.

No, there must be something wrong with this wine.

Mu Qing's heart became more and more heavy, she turned her eyes to look at Beitangfeng.

Could it be that she thinks highly of Concubine Liu? If she is really stupid enough to attack the queen in public, causing the whole city to suddenly fall into civil strife, then she is really too stupid to be cured!
But now, she had no intention of handing over the wine to the emperor.If the wine really wasn't a joke, then if something happened, it would cause a mutiny!

She didn't want to take advantage of Concubine Liu's stupidity and owe such a huge debt to Beitangfeng!
"See what I'm doing?" Bei Tangfeng seemed to be a little annoyed by Mu Qing's look, and turned his eyes, with a bit of coldness in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?" Mu Qing asked nervously.

"How could I..." But before he finished his sentence, his deep eyes shrank suddenly, and he took a breath suddenly.On his peerless handsome face, there was an extreme solemnity, and then he slowly looked deeply at Mu Qing, and whispered word by word, "What did you drink for me?"

After Beitangfeng finished speaking, he felt a little unsteady on his feet.Seeing this, Mu Qing quickly supported him when she was out of sight in front of others.And when she held his hand tightly, Mu Qing's eyes suddenly shrank.

Mu Qing's red lips parted lightly, all the ease dissipated, she raised her eyes, staring at Beitang Feng.

So hot!

Such a temperature is not normal.

She, Su Muqing, really won the lottery! !
Mu Qing looked back at Beitangfeng, and Beitangfeng looked at her deeply, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it.

That's right, there is something strange about the emperor, and no one should see it.Among ten thousand people, it is inevitable that there will be careful work.Even a little bit of negligence may cause internal and external troubles, and it will even give Jin a chance to go straight to Huanglong.

It is definitely not appropriate to quietly send the emperor back.It's not natural to call yourself unwell and leave the table like this.

How to, what to do!
Mu Qing bit her lower lip fiercely, at this moment, suddenly a small court lady walked towards her with a bowl of hot water, as if she was going to send it to some royal relative.

Mu Qing rolled her eyes, as if thinking of something, she suddenly squeezed Beitangfeng's hand tightly, and said, "Even if I, Su Muqing, don't like you, I won't know how to measure it. If you trust me, I will advance and retreat with you."

As soon as the words came out, Beitangfeng's eyes that were originally raised with anger trembled slightly.He lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, and after gritting his teeth, he also firmly grasped Mu Qing's catkin.

For a moment Mu Qing was also a little stunned.Never thought that Beitangfeng could really entrust such an important matter to her.

Such trust, even for a moment, moved her.

Although Concubine Liu was the main cause of this misfortune, she gave the glass of wine to Beitangfeng.

She will take on her responsibility!
Mu Qing took a deep breath, and the moment the little palace maid passed by her, she suddenly moved forward half a minute, stuck out her foot and tripped a little.The little maid suddenly fell down, and the hot water mercilessly spilled on the back of Mu Qing's hands.A kind of pain that almost pierced her instantly pierced Mu Qing's heart, and that fair skin was immediately dyed a prudent red.

Everyone present was almost taken aback when they saw it, especially the princes in front.

Beitangfeng's eyes also shrank immediately, as if he didn't expect Mu Qing to use this method to calm down the situation. He turned his eyes, and hurriedly held Mu Qing's hand and said, "I help the queen to go and have a look first."

The scene seemed to be a little chaotic, which was within Mu Qing's expectation.Usually, if Nanyue State has a fine workmanship, it will definitely not be someone from the periphery, and will definitely rely on the throne.So as long as the queen is scalded and can hide the truth from those who are in the dark, then everything will be safe.

However, for the people on the periphery, there must be a countermeasure, otherwise it will be another disaster if the banquet of ten thousand people is destroyed.

Mu Qing suddenly turned her eyes to look at Beitang Mo, and mouthed a few words to Beitang Mo as if she wanted to take a gamble.

Beitang Mo nodded, understanding in his heart.

At this moment, Zuo Xun stepped forward and asked nervously, "Queen, are you okay?"

"No problem." Mu Qing smiled lightly, then lifted her hand up, and said, "It's just a little burnt, I need to deal with it urgently. I'll have a chat with the general later."

In fact, at this time, Beitangfeng should take Mu Qing away with his words.But he didn't speak for a long time, causing Mu Qing to glance quietly.But seeing Beitang Feng's expression was indifferent, as calm as water.But at the moment he was holding her hand, he was getting harder and harder.

Beitangfeng must have reached his limit!

It was at this moment that Beitangmo took the wine glass and stood up, and began to chat with Zuo Xun in order to attract Zuo Xun's attention.Seeing this, Liu Xiangguo didn't care about Su Muqing's affairs, so he hurriedly grabbed a wine glass and left together.The music suddenly sounded, and the entire venue of ten thousand people fell into laughter again.

Mu Qing took a deep breath, and then slowly calmed down.It seems that for Liu Xiangguo, Zuo Xun is indeed a major focus of strengthening his power.

In this way, the royal family in the inner circle was lured by the prince to start fighting openly and secretly for power, while the royal family in the outer circle were paralyzed by the sound of drums and the ceremony of drinking.And the small injury on her hand also let everyone present witness that she was not pretending, so that those sensitive people would not make more guesses.

At this moment, you must take advantage of the situation and leave immediately!

"Let's go." Mu Qing whispered, and then tightly held Beitangfeng's hand, allowing Beitangfeng to lean on her body a little so that she could walk steadily.

Bei Tangfeng nodded, and didn't refute any words, just followed Mu Qing towards the outside of Jingfeng Hall.

After leaving the palace, Mu Qing sent away all the court ladies and eunuchs following behind with an excuse.After they all dispersed, Mu Qing was relieved.

At this moment, Beitangfeng's feet softened suddenly, and he leaned tightly on Mu Qing's body.The faint cold fragrance emanating from his body, like mellow wine, made Mu Qing a little drunk.

Mu Qing shook her head violently.

Now is not the time to think about this, it is necessary to bring Beitang Feng back to Mingyang Hall.

Thinking of this, Mu Qing turned her eyes to Beitangfeng, "Are you okay?"
