Mu Pei'er stared at Song Qingyu and laughed complacently.

Clutching the cup tightly, Song Qingyu raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Mu Pei'er. With a slight smile on his face, he was able to intimidate Mu Pei'er. In an instant, the smile on Mu Pei'er's face froze.

"Sister Pyle really knows me. It's just that I don't know what sister Pyle wants to test me for. "

Mu Pei'er was shocked by the cold look in Song Qingyu's eyes. She could not speak for a long time, so Song Yiyan made faces at him and said: "Why are you afraid of a peasant girl?" Choose what you're good at.

Mu Pei'er's mind jolted, wondering what she was afraid of from Song Qingyu just now.

Mu Pei'er raised her brows as she looked at the empress. "This humble girl has the guts to request for a question from the empress."

The empress was very disappointed with Song Qingyu's identity, but she was not interested. "Yi'er, do you have any questions for the exam?"

Zuo Linyi lazily leaned against him and slightly narrowed his eyes, then said, "I don't have any problems here, but I occasionally hear Lord Murong write a letter and mention, 'Head of the Guards of the Hundred Empire, Fan Chengtian, from the previous dynasty, spoke of success and failure', do you know the answer, Miss Song?"

Everyone was speechless. Not only were these questions difficult, they were also interfering with the imperial government. How could they dare to answer them?

Furthermore, he directly aimed at the person in power. If he were to say it out loud, he would most likely be beheaded.

The empress was stunned for a moment before she sobered up. "Yi'er, don't mess around."

Zuo Linyi raised an eyebrow. "Let her answer."

Everyone was glad that the ninth prince was not referring to them, and they all let out a sigh of relief.

Mu Pei'er did not understand what he meant, but she also knew that the leader of the centurions was referring to the Emperor, saying that the Emperor was wrong and would be beheaded. Song Qingyu did not answer, nor did he.

When Mu Pei'er saw Song Qingyu's frown, she immediately became excited and waited for his reply.

Zuo Linyi shook his teacup in interest.

Mu Quan urged her in a low voice, "Master, if someone listens to you, then Miss Song should not have answered. She will bring a fatal disaster upon herself."

"What does it have to do with this prince?" Zuo Linyi raised his eyebrows.

Mu Quan could only retreat in embarrassment.

"Reporting to the Ninth Prince, this humble girl is stupid, and might not understand what you mean. The prince can explain to this humble girl what success means and failure." Song Qingyu earnestly said. After a pause, he continued, "Prince, please explain it word by word for word for me."

There was no problem with his words, they were only words of advice. And if he were to bring up the issue of success or failure separately, it would be considered a great disrespect to the Emperor. And Song Qingyu had thrown the issue at the ninth prince, telling him to go and offend the ninth prince.

Those who understood immediately held their breath in shock.

The empress slammed the table and glared furiously at Song Qingyu. "Impudent!"

"Muhou, she solved a question of mine."

As soon as the Ninth Prince finished speaking, the Empress could not punish him either. However, Song Qingyu was obviously smart and cunning, to pretend to be stupid for such a long time. It even lured these outrageous words to the ninth prince!

The empress's anger could not be quelled, so she blocked it with one breath, making it hard for her to breathe.

With a pale face, he clutched his stomach and collapsed painfully in his seat.

"Muhou, muhou, what happened to you?"

"Esteemed Empress!"

Zuo Linyi immediately took hold of the empress's pulse, but didn't know what was wrong with her. He hastily stood up and swept his gaze across Song Qingyu, a trace of hostility flashing through his eyes. "Hurry and call the imperial physician!"

Song Qingyu frowned slightly. He thought that it wasn't her fault for murdering the Empress like this. The look in the Ninth Prince's eyes when he wanted to kill him was truly hateful!

After a long while, the empress's stomach began to ache unbearably, and the imperial physician was nowhere to be seen.

Song Qingyu frowned and pondered for a moment before biting his lower lip. He then lifted his skirt and moved away from the crowd. He calmly took the Queen's pulse and checked her eyes, then her throat.

The palace maid at the side was slightly angered and immediately waved her away, "What are you doing? "You're not an imperial physician, it's all because of you. Stay away from the empress."

"I'm going to check on the empress."

Song Qing, Yu Ping said flatly. His gaze was fixated on the empress.

Someone was about to drag her away. "The imperial physician is about to arrive."

"But the imperial physician hasn't arrived yet!" Song Qingyu shook off his men and took out a silver needle from his robes. The silver needles on her body were supposed to be used to protect her body, but they could be used to treat illnesses at any time.

When the crowd saw her take out a silver needle, they were shocked.

The empress had been curious about Song Qingyu's sudden appearance, but she did not stop him. Now that he saw her take out the silver needles, she quickly retreated. "What are you trying to do?"

"Esteemed empress, you've gotten food poisoning. I'm going to force out everything you eat."

"Someone, hurry and take her down." Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They all wanted to stop Song Qingyu. As he spoke, he tried to insert a silver needle in, but his hand was suddenly pulled back.

Song Qingyu lifted his gaze to look over and met Zuo Linyi's gaze of doubt.

Song Qing and Yu's eyes were cold and firm. Zuo Linyu was dazed for a moment before she softly said, "I can."

Zuo Linyi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly let go of Song Qingyu's hand.

"Ninth Prince, you can't believe her. She might be an assassin, but she's the one who harmed the empress!" Mu Pei'er shouted as she stepped forward. Looking at Song Qingyu's ferocious appearance, she clearly wanted to kill him.

"Ninth Prince, I have some knowledge of medical skills and have seen many imperial physicians treat illnesses, but I've never heard of anyone directly using silver needles."

Everyone responded in unison.

Zuo Linyi frowned and said to Song Qing and Yu, "Continue."

"Ninth Prince, you can't!" Following Mu Pei'er's voice, a silver needle was inserted into the back of the empress's neck, while Song Qingyu frowned as he inserted two more needles. Food poisoning can be accidental, but the queen's diet can't be ignored.

Song Qingyu noticed with a glance that a plate of gingko was placed very close to the empress. Ginkgo biloba was poisonous, but the ginkgo in front of them was ripe. However, if there was only one problem with it and it was eaten by the Queen …

Song Qingyu did not voice his doubts.

The empress wailed and threw up all over the floor. And then, he recovered. The gathered Qi had also dissipated.

Song Qingyu immediately brought a cup of tea, added some ginger in the tea and passed it to the empress.

The palace maid at the side caught it first and asked the empress, "Do you need to wait for the imperial physician?"

The empress's stomach eased a little, and she looked up at Song Qingyu with a gentle gaze. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Mu Pei'er, "Of course I need to. The big sister of the Song family is not an imperial physician, so how can you be careless when you have just eased up? Maybe she just hit it off. "

What Muppet said made sense.

The empress frowned slightly, then caught the tea and took a sip. "Imperial Physician? Does the imperial physician have to wait until something happens to me before he appears? "

As soon as the empress's angry voice fell, Imperial Physician Zhang rushed over with his medicine chest in hand. He panted, "May esteemed empress forgive me. The emperor suddenly became unwell just now. This humble subject has just come out of the Hall of Heartrest."
