My mouth was faster than my brain, and a bunch of complaints popped up in my mind: "This smell is wrong! Ginseng soup shouldn't taste like this! My grandma has been making soup all her life, but I can't smell it? This is obviously deer blood wine mixed with ginseng soup, and some musk is added! I've smelled the smell of musk before, and my mother bought a perfume containing musk before, and this is the smell! If you drink this, I'm afraid something will happen tonight!"
Concubine Qi whispered softly: "Your Majesty, drink it while it's hot."
The emperor held the bowl, turned his head and glanced at me.
This time he looked at it for at least three seconds.
I shrank my neck and thought to myself that this emperor is really weird. Why is he always staring at me, a palace maid, when he ignores beautiful women?
Then the emperor did something that completely stunned me.
He put the ginseng soup back on the table and said to Concubine Qi calmly: "This tea is too dirty, I won't drink it."
Concubine Qi's face instantly turned pale: "Your Majesty, this concubine's soup——"
"Just back off."
The emperor's tone was calm and he didn't even look at her again. Concubine Qi bit her lip, her eyes flushed, and finally bowed and staggered out of the hall.
Dead silence returned to the hall.
I huddled in the corner, my heart beating so fast. What did the emperor mean by what he just said? He also found something wrong with the ginseng soup? Or should I say——
Did he hear my complaint?
Impossible. Absolutely impossible. I just thought about it in my mind but didn't say it out loud. How could he hear it? Unless he is a roundworm in my belly.
