When we arrived at Xianghua Palace, it was almost dusk, and the entire palace was covered in clouds and fog.
Xu Mochen licked his lips. This was not the best way to create an atmosphere.
It's almost like a horror house.
"Your wife is doing well lately." He still wanted to express his concern.
Cuizhu, who was leading the way, smiled and said: "I will tell you the truth, your majesty. When the empress first entered the palace, she missed her family very much and could not sleep at night.
However, having received His Majesty’s favor, now His Majesty is my top priority. "
That's for sure, just think about how to kill yourself.
Stepping in, he saw a beautiful woman standing on the cornice, saluting to him: "Your Majesty."
Xu Mochen frowned. The last time he was here, he remembered Shen Zhining's appearance, which was very elegant. Why did he feel that Shen Zhining was more beautiful when he saw her this time.
This figure, last time it was slim and graceful, this time it is a little bit ambitious.
"My dear concubine," Xu Mochen stepped forward, "Why do I feel that today looks so different."
"Your Majesty," Shen Zhining covered her mouth and smiled, "I am good at makeup. Today's makeup is indeed different from the previous few days. Your Majesty has a good eye."
"..." Xu Mochen was stunned for a moment, "But my beloved concubine's figure has also changed."
It's not like he's a different person, or he's transformed.
But he has read the information. Generally speaking, the first step for cultivators of monsters, ghosts, elves, etc. is to transform into human form.
Once they transform into a human form, they become their original form. Although they can transform into other forms, they cannot change the medicine, and they cannot last long.
But the Shen Zhining in front of him had completely changed.
Concubine Xian welcomed him in and said, "Your Majesty has good eyesight and remembers my concubines so well.
But these are all details. Your Majesty, don’t go into details. Come and try my concubine’s craftsmanship. "
As he spoke, he pulled Xu Mochen to sit down. There were several exquisite cups on the table, filled with tonic soup that had been stewed slowly over low heat.
Although Xu Mochen has the blessing of eight-phase soul condensation, he can't eat everything, especially when faced with things made by immortal cultivators of unknown origins.
"Your Majesty, try it quickly. This has been stewed for twelve hours." Shen Zhining opened one of the cups, scooped out a bowl and handed it over.
It still smelled very good, and Xu Mochen had to force out a smile: "My beloved, you are really thoughtful."
He held the spoon and was hesitating whether to take a sip.
Could it be stewed by someone?
Realizing the possibility, he turned his gaze to the window and saw a human-like thing swinging lightly in the breeze.
Human skin!
The clothes were not like that. Xu Mochen suddenly remembered the painted skin he had seen before. Could it be that the concubine in front of him was painted skin?
It’s so exciting to play.
"Your Majesty," Seeing Xu Mochen holding the spoon still, Shen Zhining pushed it gently, "This soup won't taste good when it gets cold."
"My dear concubine," Xu Mochen fished out a few fish, "I don't know what kind of soup this is."
"Spinal bone soup, but I added more than 20 kinds of medicinal materials." Shen Zhining looked at him doubtfully, "It is a unique prescription of our Shen family."
Shen Changfeng of the Shen family is a cultivator from the Netherworld. Your family’s medicine is probably to stew human spines.
Xu Mochen has eaten pork spine, but he has never drank human spine soup.
I don't know if the taste will be the same.
"I went to the imperial dining room yesterday to ask someone to keep it," Shen Zhining understood his hesitation and explained with a smile, "Your Majesty, feel free to drink it."
Although the imperial dining room... was only a small department in the palace, Xu Mochen didn't pay attention to whether there were also immortal cultivators there.
The possibility is great!
If so, it would make sense to have someone with a spine.
It was obviously impossible not to drink, as he might make the other party fall out. Although he was not afraid of it, it was obviously not part of the plan.
What's more, he has little experience in dealing with immortal cultivators in the Netherworld, so it's better to be steady.
Finally, after taking a sip, he was relieved: "Good soup! Thank you for your hard work, my dear."
"That's my duty as a concubine," Shen Zhining scooped up another bowl, "Your Majesty, this is kidney soup, have a drink too."
Well, after eating the human spine, now it’s the human waist’s turn.
Looking at it, I don’t know what the difference is with pork loin.
His consciousness could not be activated to avoid problems, so Xu Mochen had no choice but to take another sip with a smile.
Forget it, if you eat it once, you will eat it. If you eat more, you will eat more.
"Your Majesty," Shen Zhining was very satisfied, "Your Majesty, do you want to drink the wine last time - Meng Po soup?"
She took the initiative to mention Meng Po Soup.
Xu Mochen smiled: "My beloved concubine invites me today, I'm afraid the drunkard's intention is not in the bar."
Shen Zhining also laughed, covering her face with her sleeves: "The drunkard's intention is not in the wine, but in the mountains and rivers."
As soon as these words came out, the two people's movements immediately froze.
Shen Zhining held the orchid finger in her right hand, and the fingertips were facing Xu Mochen's Tianmen.
Xu Mochen raised his index finger and trembled slightly. Once his opponent made a move, he would immediately stop it.
In the room, only candlelight swayed in the wind.
Both sides are preparing to attack, but no one is willing to take the first move.
Finally a gust of cold wind swept into the house, and the last candle was extinguished.
"His Majesty!"
"My beloved concubine!"
The two of them spoke almost at the same time, and their consciousnesses opened at the same time.
The two spiritual consciousnesses touched each other, but they still didn't take action, but their bodies swayed slightly.
The table between them broke into several pieces with a "snap".
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Cuizhu's call sounded outside the door.
Alarm bells rang in Xu Mochen's heart. The person in front of him had a higher consciousness and power than himself, and there was also a cultivator outside the door. He had thrown himself into a trap.
"Cui Zhu, get out!" Unexpectedly, Shen Zhining yelled at the person who came back. She raised her hand, and "bang bang bang" all the doors and windows were immediately closed, and restrictions were set at the same time.
Cuizhu outside the door was startled. Why was there no candlelight in the house, and the doors and windows were all closed and restricted.
Miss, what on earth are you doing with His Majesty inside?
At least let the slaves participate.
Inside the house, in the darkness, their eyes met.
The faces have been torn, and there is no scruples about each other.
At this point, it is better to face each other nakedly.
"Your Majesty is a cultivator of immortality," Shen Zhining smiled, "To kill Liu Yi and Zhou Chengyun, you did not use the fate of the country, you used your own cultivation. You deceived everyone."
Xu Mochen kept smiling.
"Your existence escapes from the rules of heaven. If this matter is exposed, I am afraid the world will not tolerate it." Shen Zhining sounded very sure.
"So, my concubine already knows my depth," Xu Mochen looked directly at her, "Are you planning to report this matter to me?"
"I have other plans," Shen Zhining combed her long hair, "I just don't know what conditions your Majesty will use in exchange for keeping my secret secret."
As they said this, both of them laughed.
After the test just now, Shen Zhining already knew that Xu Mochen had some cultivation, but his cultivation was not as good as his own.
If you really want to take action, he will be protected by the national destiny, so it will not be easy to kill him.
But it was very difficult for Xu Mochen to keep him.
Once he escapes, Xu Mochen's secret cannot be kept.
If the immortal cultivator knew about it, he would probably be killed in an hour or three.
This is Shen Zhining's reliance.
Xu Mochen slowly withdrew his smile: "My terms of exchange are also simple.
But I also have something to clarify with my beloved concubine.
My beloved concubine is not only a cultivator of immortality, but also a time traveler like me! "
