My emperor, long live!

Before Pei Mo could say what was in her heart, the queen sighed softly, and said in a bitter tone: "At the beginning, the emperor said that black sandalwood was his favorite incense and had a calming effect. He put it in my study and bedroom incense burner every day. I thought it was the emperor's thoughtfulness and love for me... I didn't expect, I didn't expect that it was his poisoning method!"

For so many years, the person who has truly loved and loved her in his heart is deliberately planning to kill her. The empress's face is full of grief, and the knuckles of the fingers holding the teacup are so tight that they turn white.

Pei Mo was afraid that the queen would be too excited and crush the teacup and hurt himself, so he hurriedly said: "The matter has already happened, there is no room for maneuver, please take care of the dragon's body, Your Majesty."

The queen put down the teacup in her hand and sighed, and looked at Pei Mo with a barely visible wry smile.

Seeing that the queen who is usually powerful and powerful is suffering from love, Pei Mo can't help but sigh in his heart, wishing to win the hearts of the people and never leave each other, the seemingly simple sentence turned out to be so difficult.

"I don't know how your majesty will deal with this matter?" Assassinating the empress is a serious crime committed by treason, ordinary people committing this crime is nothing more than death, but the empress' husband is after all the empress's heart, not to mention whether the empress is ruthless or not. Members of the royal family will also set off a huge storm.

The queen pondered for a moment, and said decisively: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated!" Then she looked at Pei Mo and said, "Does Aiqing have a good plan?"

"Forgive me, I'm afraid it will be a headache to deal with this matter related to your Majesty's daily life and diet." Pei Mo said in a deep voice, "The emperor used two kinds of non-toxic spices and incense to mix the poison. If you directly ask the crime, The emperor can say that he did not know that this practice would poison His Majesty, and the use of cinnamon twigs and black sandalwood was completely unconscious to evade the crime."

Then he said: "Instead of scaring the snake, it is better to root out the emperor's conspiracy at the root. Your majesty can replace all the black sandalwood in the palace and replace it with the red sandalwood that is abundant in the Liuli country. The emperor will definitely think about it." The method of poisoning, when the time comes to send someone to monitor her, and when the days and days finally show her feet, she will definitely be caught."

The queen nodded when she heard the words, and said appreciatively: "What Aiqing said is very true, so let's do it according to Aiqing's plan."

It was almost noon after discussing the emperor's husband, Qin Ran was waiting for her alone in the prime minister's mansion, seeing that the queen had no other orders, Pei Mo offered to resign.

The queen took a sip of tea, looked at Pei Mo and said suddenly: "Chen Yi, the son of General Chen, went to the border to suppress the bandits and won a great victory. He came back triumphantly yesterday. I will hold a celebration banquet for him tonight. Don't forget to bring him Let Ran'er join in."

"Yes." Pei Mo responded together and exited the Imperial Study Room.

Did Chen Yi come back yesterday?Pei Mo frowned, and couldn't help but recall the assassination of Yuexi Lake last night.As soon as Chen Yi came back from the border, she and Qin Ran were assassinated. Is this purely a coincidence or is there some kind of connection between the two?It's a coincidence, why didn't the assassins kill her Pei Mo and focus on Qin Ran?In terms of political enemies, Qin Ran has not participated in the government for a long time, and she is in a high position and powerful, so she should be the target of public criticism.

But if there is a connection, why did Chen Yi suddenly act like this?Before being reborn, Chen Yi coveted the throne and took advantage of Qin Ran's love for him to ascend to the sky. Why would he assassinate Qin Ran now and destroy the road to power by himself?

The more he thought about it, the more Pei Mo smelled a dangerous atmosphere that he had never seen before, and he felt faintly uneasy.

Hearing a familiar voice from behind, Qin Ran turned around suddenly, and saw Pei Mo's playful chuckle, knowing that Pei Mo had seen the flustered look just now, his face couldn't help turning red, but deliberately put on a serious look Snorting: "The stove in your house is too small, I can't use it."

Pei Mo raised his eyebrows and chuckled, walked to Qin Ran's side, took the kitchen knife in her hand without a trace, and re-sliced ​​the radish slices that had been cut into weird shapes on the chopping board, "I think the knives in this house are not easy to use either. , the blade is so blunt that it can't even slice a radish."

Qin Ran glanced at the carrots on the chopping board that were supposed to be sliced ​​and stir-fried, but she cut them into pieces, and quickly covered them with her hands, saying, "Who said they were meant to be sliced ​​and stir-fried? I, I plan to cut them into pieces." Wouldn't it be okay to stew the soup in chunks?"

Pei Mo raised his lips, and the smile on his face deepened, "Okay, if you say it's for stewing soup, then use it for stewing soup." Then, he put his hands on Qin Ran's hand covering the carrot, and turned the chopping board Put the radish on the pot and add water to make soup.

With Pei Mo's help, Qin Ran's half-baked cooking skills gradually unfolded. After frying the other ingredients neatly, he put them on a plate and directed the maid to serve them out one by one.

After a long time of incense, the maids brought vinegared cabbage, shredded pork with pickled vegetables and edamame, and stewed catfish from the kitchen to the table in the main hall one after another. Human food is not inferior to the craftsmanship of the royal chef in the palace.

When she was seated, Qin Ran intentionally sat far away from the carrot soup, as if that strange soup didn't exist.

Pei Mo didn't care, he scooped up a spoonful of steaming soup and drank it slowly. Qin Ran focused on Pei Mo's expression from the corner of his eye while eating the vegetables, and saw that her expression was as usual, and she didn't show the slightest sign. With an expression implying that the food was unpalatable, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that the soup is just not good-looking, but the taste is still good. There is a smile on the corner of his mouth, secretly happy that his cooking skills have improved a lot.

Seeing Qin Ran staring at her in a daze while holding the chopsticks, Pei Mo flicked Qin Ran's forehead with his fingers, "Is there something on my face? You look so focused."

"Hmm..." Qin Ran immediately came back to his senses, covered his forehead in pain and exclaimed, and saw a teasing smile on the corner of Pei Mo's lips, and then realized that he was too engrossed in peeking just now, and stared at it stupidly. Seeing Pei Mo in a daze, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole.

Pei Mo chuckled, picked another chopsticks for Qin Ran to vinegar cabbage, and said with a smile, "Don't just look around when you're eating."

Hearing this, Qin Ran looked down at the cabbage leaves that had accidentally been caught by the bowl when he was in a daze, and blushed slightly on her small face, but deliberately imitated Pei Mo's tone and hummed: "You too, don't talk when you eat or sleep, eat and drink Don’t keep talking when you’re here!”

Raising his hand to caress Qin Ran's heart, Pei Mo said softly, "It's rare for you and me to have a peaceful meal, so we won't be angry anymore."

Hearing what Pei Mo said, Qin Ran's swollen little face immediately disappeared. That's right, every time someone eats, there is always someone who doesn't know how to disturb him. There are very few two-person worlds like today. I changed my mood, and watched my nose, nose, nose, and heart to eat well.
