The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 869 - 867: Birthday Banquet Farce (Part 1)

At Qingque Platform, Emperor Longteng and Empress Feng had just arrived.

Most of the guests were already present.

"Why do I not see Bei Qing?"

Emperor Longteng looked around, but Chu Beiqing was nowhere to be seen.

Earlier, he had received a secret message and went to the Imperial Study Room. When he turned back, Chu Beiqing had disappeared.

"There are eunuchs and palace maids watching over him. I suppose nothing will happen; he must have gone to play nearby. I will send someone to find him later,"

Empress Feng said with a smile, but a hint of scheming flashed in her eyes.

The scene of her earlier meeting with Young Prince Tu seemed to play before her. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Young Prince, back then your master promised me to eliminate Chu Beiqing. Why is he still alive and well after all these years?"

A shadow crossed Empress Feng’s beautiful face.

"Empress Feng, my master did not expect that Chu Beiqing’s life force would be so tenacious. Given the circumstances back then, it is indeed a miracle that he survived. But rest assured, the Three Corpse Poison within him has lain dormant for a long time. Over the years, it must have penetrated his vital organs. Once it activates, death is certain,"

Young Prince Tu said earnestly.

"Then when will the poison activate? If this drags on, I will die before he does,"

Empress Feng gritted her teeth.

Even though Chu Beiqing was now a fool, he was still an eyesore.

Clearly, she was the one Emperor Longteng loved the most, yet he still occasionally reminisced about Chu Beiqing. This left Empress Feng far from satisfied.

Furthermore, only Chu Beiqing knew about the matter from back then.

Even though he had become a fool, as long as he lived, there was the risk he might suddenly regain his senses one day.

Should that happen, her position as Empress would not be secure.

Thus, she was determined to see Chu Beiqing dead.

For this reason, she had proactively suggested that Emperor Longteng invite Chu Beiqing to the birthday feast.

"Don’t worry, as long as he comes into contact with the Ice-cold Beast, the poison will trigger. The Three Corpse Poison is a cold poison. Once it encounters cold energy, it will erupt. As far as I know, General Nalan of Hai Zhang Country presented an Xuan Spirit Beast to His Majesty, and that creature is the Ice-cold Beast. As soon as Chu Beiqing faces that Xuan Spirit Beast..."

Young Prince Tu did not continue.

Empress Feng, being a wise person, immediately grasped the implication.

"Thank you, Young Prince, for the reminder. I now know what to do,"

Empress Feng withdrew her thoughts.

Today, with the palace filled with guests, she could easily find someone to lead Chu Beiqing to the Ice-cold Beast, making it a done deal.

By now, Chu Beiqing should have already succumbed to the poison.

From this day forth, no one in Longteng Country would know her true identity and origins.

A faint trace of joy surfaced on Empress Feng’s face.

"Why is the Third Prince not present? Did he not go to the Imperial Kitchen early on to make arrangements?"

Emperor Longteng did not see Long Qingchen. Observing the simple fruit platters on the table with no pastries or snacks, he frowned slightly.

This time, the palace banquet was entirely arranged by the Imperial Kitchen.

A few days ago, the Third Prince Long Qingchen suddenly claimed he wanted to help, so Emperor Longteng entrusted some of the matters to him.

"I suppose he went to make arrangements. I’ve heard that the Third Prince has prepared a special Spiritual Food for this birthday feast, a dish never before seen in Longteng Country,"

Empress Feng said with a smile.

Long Qingchen had earlier mentioned that at this banquet, there would be at least one Five-star Spiritual Food.

Even at royal banquets, such high-level Five-star Spiritual Food is rare, especially one that has never appeared before.
