#79. The concubine's death soup.
After arriving in the kitchen. Han Zhao instantly made lotus soup for emperor Haocun Li. Starting from he prepared some lotus stalks, heated the water, and prepared the seasoning he needed.
This kind of thing was a common thing for Han Zhao to do. That's why he doesn't really need anyone else when he's cooking.

A few moments later. Han Zhao had finished his artificial lotus soup. Even the scent of lotus soup can be smelled out of the kitchen.
Because he's done with his soup. Han Zhao immediately left carrying his lotus soup towards the emperor Haocun Li's room.
*Tock....Geck...Tok*
After arriving in front of the emperor Haocun Li's room. Han Zhao knocked slowly on his door. Waiting for the message from inside the room.
"Fang Yin??" call emperor Haocun Li from inside his room.
"Yes, Your Majesty" Han Zhao said without opening the door of Emperor Haocun Li's room.
"Come in...You don't have to knock on the door first" said emperor Haocun Li, asking the girl standing in front of his door to enter.
"..." without answering. Slowly, Han Zhao began to open the door of the emperor Haocun Li's room.
After the door is wide open. Han Zhao could see the Haocun Li emperor sitting on his bed. He looks so limp. What did he do last night??
Although curious. Han Zhao with his polite expression, tried to approach the emperor's bed. On the other hand, in the Emperor Haocun Li's gaze was only a beautiful girl who wore a white hanfu dress, with a flower pattern on the part of her robe.
"Your highness.. In your condition like this, you should not be too tired in doing your duty" Han Zhao said as he placed a tray containing entrance lotus soup that he brought.
"You speak as if you were advising your son" the emperor Haocun Li chuckled with a small laugh.
Hearing the taunts from emperor Haocun Li, made Han Zhao slightly blush in embarrassment. Even he could only shake his head slowly. "It's not what I mean, Your Highness" she handed the bowl of soup to emperor Haocun Li.
Emperor Haocun Li grabbed Han Zhao's soup bowl, then placed it on his lap. "Haha.lahlah." he said while laughing.
After he finished speaking, emperor Haocun Li raised his bowl of soup. Then sip the warm soup slowly.
"Eummmm... The taste doesn't change, it's really delicious. Where did you learn to cook this soup??" ask the emperor Haocun Li.
"My mother taught him" Han Zhao replied.
Han Zhao was stunned when he heard Emperor Haocun Li's question, he briefly fell silent. Her head thought about what answer would be right for a situation like this. "Egghh-my mother is too busy. Maybe at another time in will visit here" he said with a little doubt. However, this did not make Emperor Haocun Li suspicious.
Moments later came the reaction shown by emperor Haocun Li changed. It was like being surprised. Ha?? What was??
On the other hand, Han Zhao who was aware of the emperor Haocun Li's reaction made himself change the way he looked towards the emperor in front of him. Start with a gentle and loving look. It now turned into a flat gaze filled with calmness in the aura of darkness.
"Egghhh-What is this??" moaning emperor Haocun Li while holding his stomach that continues to feel pain.
"What's up, Your Honor?? Are you okay??" asked Han Zhao who slightly climbed one of his eyebrows.
"T-No!! It's painful.. What's wrong with my body??!" asked Emperor Haocun Li while trying to get up from his bed.
Meanwhile, Han Zhao only remained silent and continued to see the various reactions shown by the body of the emperor Haocun Li. "...."- ".
*Brukkk*
When his legs tried to lift his body to stand, it felt very fragile even he was unable to stand without any help.
'Why is it like this?? What happened to me??' murmured Emperor Haocun Li who sat before the girl who remained standing near him.
"Wake up!!" pinta Han Zhao with her flat voice. To make the emperor who was busy withstanding the pain in his body, he turned to the girl in a white dress next to him.
"Eghh-??" his head just turned his head, yet his body was still not strong to get up from his sitting.
"You're not going to die just from drinking poison, are you??" said Han Zhao who now made the emperor Haocun Li shocked in disbelief.
"A-What do you mean?? Toxins?" ask the emperor Haocun Li.
"Is my speech hard to understand??" hearing the emperor Haocun Li's question, it instead made Han Zhao ask back at him.
"..." - ".Emperor Haocun Li fell silent. He still could not believe what the concubine had done to him. Plus, his current body no longer felt the aura of his spiritual energy.
"Let me explain!! Whatever I put in my soup."
"...."
"You don't have to answer or respond to my words. Just listen and see what the consequences are" said Han Zhao with a sharp smirk on his face.
