The Fat Concubine blinked her eyes and started to act shamelessly. She looked around for a while, and for some unknown reason, she covered her chest and fell to the ground. "Oh, I'm a patient. I feel so uncomfortable. I can't hold on anymore."
"Hey..." Su Qingwen stared at her with disdain. "If you're going to act, at least act like it. You were poisoned, not having angina. What's the point of covering your chest?"
"Mind your own business. The poison affected my heart. Ouch..." The Fat Concubine started to play dead and just lay on the ground, unwilling to get up.
"Shameless." Su Qingwen had seen shameless people before, but someone as shameless as the Fat Concubine was a first for her.
"Sister." The Coffee Concubine quickly ran over, reached out to support the Fat Concubine, and glared at Su Qingwen. She scolded, "I must say, you're really heartless. My sister is in such a state, and you still won't let her go?"
"Did I say anything when she maliciously framed me before?" Su Qingwen narrowed her eyes and stared at the two of them. Suddenly, her gaze fell on the Coffee Concubine's finger, where there was a faint green mark.
Just one glance, and Su Qingwen immediately rushed over, grabbed the Coffee Concubine's hand, and looked closely. "I must say, why is your finger green? Could it be that you were the one secretly poisoning?"
"I, I didn't..." The Coffee Concubine was so frightened that she took a few steps back.
"Then how do you explain the green on your finger? Goodness, you even harm your own sister. Quickly hold her down." Su Qingwen's expression changed, and she quickly pressed down on the struggling woman's hands and feet. At the same time, she called the imperial physician over, planning to let him take a good look.
Seeing this, Li Ruhua on the side showed a look of complete despair. These two were like the so - called useless teammates.
The imperial physician looked at the green mark on the Coffee Concubine's hand and quickly nodded. "That's right. This is the itch - grass."
The Fat Concubine's eyes widened in shock and she didn't react for a long time. After a while, she turned around and slapped the Coffee Concubine hard across the face. "You good - for - nothing. If you have the guts, go deal with Su Qingwen. Why did you poison me?"
After the slap, both sides of the Coffee Concubine's face were red, looking like a swollen bun.
With tears in her eyes, she grabbed the Fat Concubine's hand and tried to explain. "No, sister. Please listen to me."
"Pah. Listen to your nonsense. I don't believe you!" The Fat Concubine, relying on her tall and big build, pushed the Coffee Concubine hard and huffed as she walked away.
The Coffee Concubine was left in a dilemma. With tears in her eyes, she chased after the Fat Concubine. It was truly pitiful.
"I must say, Li Ruhua, why are you hanging out with the Coffee Concubine?" Su Qingwen crossed her arms and gave her a skeptical look.
"..." Li Ruhua blinked her eyes, tried to calm her nerves, and forced a generous smile. "I just happened to meet her at the door."
"What a coincidence." Su Qingwen couldn't help but sigh.
But the speaker didn't mean anything by it, while the listener took it to heart. Li Ruhua, who had a guilty conscience, was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.
[System: Dear, congratulations! You've successfully completed another task. These two tasks seem to have been too easy.]
"Wait a minute?" Su Qingwen was completely confused. "How did I complete the task?"
This was really strange. It was like a pie falling from the sky, and she suddenly didn't dare to catch it.
[System: Isn't the hint word on the card "courage"? You just confronted the Fat Concubine so forcefully. You were really brave, so you've successfully passed this time.]
Yay! Hearing this, Su Qingwen felt like doing a happy dance. Why did all the good things happen to her?
"His Majesty the Emperor is coming." The voice of the little eunuch announcing from the door suddenly came over. Su Qingwen was startled and immediately put away the expression on her face. She looked up towards the door.
Today, Hua Yueye was wearing a black robe. At the collar, a coiling auspicious dragon was embroidered with gold and silver threads. It was low - key yet luxurious, perfectly setting off his temperament.
The moment Li Ruhua saw him, her heart couldn't help but beat a little faster.
"You may all leave." However, Hua Yueye didn't even notice her at all. Since he entered, his eyes had been fixed on Su Qingwen in front of him.
Seeing this, a flash of jealousy passed through Li Ruhua's eyes. She lowered her head, clenched her fists tightly, and looked at the two of them unwillingly before leaving with the others.
"What, what do you want to do?" Su Qingwen felt a sudden numbness in her heart. Was this guy crazy? Why did he suddenly send everyone away? What did he want to do?
"Close your eyes." Hua Yueye impatiently ordered. "Do you think I'll eat you?"
"Pfft, being so mysterious." Su Qingwen complained, but still obediently closed her eyes as he ordered.
Hua Yueye took out a black box from behind him like a magician. He gently opened the box, pulled Su Qingwen's hand forward carefully.
Since she couldn't see, Su Qingwen's sense of touch and hearing were especially sensitive now. Suddenly, she felt that she touched something furry and a bit warm.
"Gosh, what is this?" Su Qingwen asked in surprise.
Then, a warm tongue gently licked her finger. Although her finger was wet with saliva, this feeling was somehow quite pleasant.
"You can open your eyes now." There was a hint of a smile in Hua Yueye's voice as he whispered beside her ear.
Hearing this, Su Qingwen took a deep breath and looked up.
Oh my god. In front of her was a snow - white puppy. It was all furry and looked extremely cute. Its eyes were a beautiful amber color, a bit like agate beads. At this moment, it was obediently licking her finger.
"It's so cute." Su Qingwen was almost melted by this cute little thing. She excitedly picked up the puppy and couldn't help but laugh, constantly teasing it.
"This was a tribute from a foreign country. They said it's a fine breed. Take a look and see what you think?" Hua Yueye narrowed his eyes. Looking at the smile on Su Qingwen's lips, he also couldn't help but feel happy.
"Isn't this just a Pekingese?" Su Qingwen couldn't help but say. In this game setting, was the Pekingese still a new breed? It was really interesting.
"You actually recognize it?" Hua Yueye raised his eyebrows and gave her a skeptical look.
"No, I just said it casually. How could I know so much?" Su Qingwen blinked her eyes. She thought this unexpected surprise was really great. No wonder Hua Yueye had been emphasizing coming at night. He wanted to give this little cutie to her.
