Jing Ye glanced at him, and he thought for a moment, "Put some rose shortbread, sweet wine, and...sweet snacks."

The waiter felt like he had been given a chance to survive after receiving the order, and he hurried away.

After a while, he came back with what Jingye wanted. The general frowned and asked him, "Will sweet wine make you drunk?"

The waiter shook his head. "There will be a little, just drink less. Our sweet wine is the best in Wanjing City. General, you can take some back and try it."

Jingye looked at the basket in his hand and thought for a moment, then picked up the things and paid the bill.

The waiter took the silver and respectfully saw him off. He looked at the general disappearing in the crowd and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

"Oh my god, this general..." The waiter sat on the ground and gasped, "Is this for the princess?"

When everyone heard that this great general who had fought on the battlefield was Princess Lan Ning's husband, they were shocked. It was really not easy for this man who looked so scary to be accepted by his wife.

"Apart from Princess Lan Ning, who else can call this general? Didn't you see that the Regent came to my shop to buy a pearl hairpin two days ago? He didn't like anything else and wanted a unique one. He wanted a custom one because the stock was sold out, and he forced us to deliver it to the palace within one day..."

"Speaking of which, Lord Xuan has the best temper. He is always friendly every time he sends people to my store to buy things. It's a pity that he is weak and can't compare with those two!"

"Didn't I hear that Princess Lan Ning has four husbands? They seem to be mermaids from the sea tribe? They are said to be very beautiful!"

Mermaid?

This is a rare thing in front of the land orcs.

I didn’t expect that the princess of their Wanjing Kingdom could catch a mermaid as her husband. This is really... incredible.

Jing Ye had no idea what people were talking about him behind his back. He quickly returned to Tinglan Palace and just happened to catch them having dinner.

Xuan Mo was picking fish bones for Lan Ning. When he heard Yin Kai's voice, he looked up and saw Jing Ye handing the things to the puppet palace maid. Then the silver figure disappeared at the door. He guessed that he had gone to change clothes.

Not long after, Jing Ye changed into casual clothes and stepped into the hall. The puppet palace maid carrying things followed him and put out the things in the basket according to his instructions.

Smelling the aroma of sweets, Lan Ning's cat ears moved. She looked at the desserts on the table that had never appeared before, and then smiled at Jing Ye. She called out, "Hurry up and sit down, let's eat together."

The reason for arranging this time was that Xuan Mo guessed that Jing Ye might be able to come back and live with them.

While eating, Xuan Heng also took the time to ask Jing Ye how the tracking was going. The latter was silent for a moment, and his tone was very heavy, "No evidence was found, and all those sent out were killed."

He found that Mo He seemed to be using a strange way to contact people outside. He clearly saw Mo He's figure, but when he followed him, he found a bunch of spiders.

He chased for a long distance but didn't get any information.

Instead, several soldiers were lost.

He was the wolf king, and he should have led the tribe to kill all the invaders, but in just a few days, he lost seven or eight soldiers in order to investigate a person. He was really...

"There is no trace in the palace, but there is something wrong with the tea in the Empress's palace recently." Xuan Heng said slowly, "The nobles said that it was poisoned. Fortunately, the Empress is fine. I have asked the nobles to pay more attention to it and sent more people to take care of it."

Poison the empress?

Everyone present looked up at Xuan Heng, but the latter just used a handkerchief to wipe the oil stains from the corners of Lan Ning's mouth.

"Don't look at it, they didn't catch him." Xuan Heng sneered, "They were well prepared, and didn't leave any clues."

He had already asked the people around the empress to keep an eye out, and today they found someone who had been poisoned again. After searching the entire Fengyi Palace, they didn't even find a piece of clothing.

The empress herself was also very angry. She said that she had been drinking this disgusting tea for some time. She called a doctor to investigate, and the doctor said that the empress was lucky and had a long life.

"She is so impatient." Xuan Mo's eyes were heavy, but without evidence, all efforts were in vain.

Xuan Mo guessed that the poison should have been inflicted by spiders, but unfortunately they really didn't have the ability to catch those ant-sized spiders.

Lan Ning listened silently. She didn't expect Furou to be so bold as to poison the empress at this time. If the empress really fell into the poison, in front of so many people, would Furou be able to keep her position?

"It's all thanks to Xiaoguai's blood." Xuan Heng glanced at Lan Ning who was eating obediently. "Since the empress recovered, she has felt sick every time she touches something poisonous. That's why I realized someone had tampered with it."

Lan Ning was stunned. She looked up at Xuan Heng. Under the gaze of those golden eyes, she bit the rose biscuit and smiled at Xuan Heng. Her well-behaved and cute appearance made Xuan Heng happy.

However, thinking that she still couldn't sleep with him tonight, Xuan Heng felt depressed.

If I had known this earlier, I would have found something for them to do and kept Lan Ning all to myself.

Jing Ye sat quietly aside. He watched Lan Ning enjoying the snacks he bought. He also looked at the pot of sweet wine on the table, which also smelled of roses. The waiter said that it wouldn't make him drunk.

He picked up the flagon and poured himself a glass, which tasted like water.

Jing Ye frowned, and he poured another cup for Xuan Mo. Under the other's puzzled eyes, he explained: "The people at Shunfangzhai said that this is not intoxicating, you try it first."

Such a simple statement is shocking.

Xuan Duan took a sip from the glass of wine. It had a light aroma of rose wine. It was a popular sweet wine in Wanjing City and was loved by young people who could not hold their liquor.

He nodded, "It's okay to drink less."

Then another fragrant cup came in front of Lan Ning. She smelled the smell of wine, but it also had a sweet aroma. Under the gaze of several people, she picked up the cup and took a sip. The sweet rose scent spread in her mouth, which was very delicious.

Her ears twitched, and she seemed to like it very much.

After finishing a cup, she blinked her bright eyes and looked at Jing Ye, and said crisply: "I want another cup."

Lan Ning has never known how to abstain from food. He drank one cup after another until his cheeks turned red. Only then was Xuan Mo stopped him. However, Lan Ning, who was already dizzy, would not stop. She hugged them one by one and acted coquettishly. After she calmed down, she lay in the cool arms of Xuan Heng.

The three of them looked at Jing Ye with slightly resentful eyes.

Why did you bring this back when you have nothing to do?

Jing Ye touched his nose. Xuan Mo had said that everything was fine, but who knew that Lan Ning had such a low alcohol tolerance that he could get drunk even with such sweet water?

Xuan Heng had had enough of the days where he could only look but not eat. He knew that Lan Ning was still angry with him. What if something went wrong at night and this drunken little girl said something to make him jealous? If he used too much force, he might not know if he could enter Tinglan Palace tomorrow.

Xuan Heng's face turned pale. He glanced at Ling Yan who was looking eagerly at the side of him, and Xuan Mo who was blushing diagonally opposite him, and then without hesitation, he stuffed the person into Jing Ye's arms.

"Jingye, the princess is not well yet, please take care of her tonight."
