After hearing her gossip, all the civil and military officials went crazy.

Chapter 10 Antidote Pill

If Fang Lingchu knew that the system was thinking this way, she would definitely open its central processing unit to see what was going on.

Fang Lingchu said weakly, "I want to, but how can I save you? If I run up to the emperor and say, 'Your Majesty, you're poisoned and have Gu worms; you're about to die,' I feel like my entire family will be reporting to the Black and White Impermanence tomorrow."

The emperor glanced at the little girl, thinking to himself, "Actually, I'm not that rough, you know."

Even Minister Fang didn't want to criticize his own daughter. Did he think that his previous ideas would protect his entire family?

Although the arrival of this daughter changed their family's fate, she also caused them a lot of worry.

The system thought for a moment and said, "But if you don't speak up, your country will immediately descend into war, and your family will be in the same boat. Saving His Majesty at least gives you a chance to survive."

Everyone nodded subconsciously, but they still held back.

Upon hearing the system's suggestion, Fang Lingchu thought about it and agreed. She then asked, "Are there any quests that offer the antidote to all poisons?"

Everyone was very excited when they heard that there might be an antidote.

Their small court assembly had lasted for two hours, but His Majesty showed no sign of ending it.

Upon hearing Fang Lingchu's words, the system replied, "I'll go ask in the system group to see if their cultivation system has anything like this."

Then the system disappeared.

Others knew that the system allowed them to cultivate immortality, and they felt inexplicably envious, but right now, the most important thing was His Majesty's health.

At this moment, a eunuch came in and said that the medicine that the Empress Dowager had ordered for His Majesty had been delivered.

The head steward could also hear Fang Lingchu's thoughts. Now, seeing the medicine his apprentice brought in, beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.

His Majesty only glanced at it, and the Grand Eunuch took the medicine and led the person to the back. Immediately, someone took the person away, and someone else took the medicine to the Imperial Hospital for a thorough examination.

Fang Lingchu didn't find anything. After waiting for a while, the system returned.

[Host, host, I'm back.]

Upon hearing that the system had returned, Fang Lingchu asked, "[Is there anything?]"

[Some hosts may have questions, but this mission is too risky. Are you sure you want to accept it?]

Fang Lingchu just wanted to roll her eyes. Did she think she could just refuse to answer the call now?

[Speak quickly! The medicine sent by the Empress Dowager has just arrived. If His Majesty drinks it after court, we will all die tomorrow.]

The system was aware of the situation and stated: [Daily Task: Plucking the beards of seven court officials, then wrapping them in a sachet and presenting it to an adult as a gift. Reward: Two antidote pills.]

Fang Lingchu asked, "[This antidote pill is quite good; it can cure all poisons and prevent future poisoning. It's good, but this quest...]"

Fang Lingchu glanced at the ministers attending the small court assembly. She couldn't afford to offend any of them. What should she do?

Besides, why would she secretly pluck someone's beard?

Fang Lingchu thought for a moment, then secretly reached out and plucked her boss's beard.

Then he pretended to look around, but dared not look at Lord Chang who was diligently taking notes.

After waiting a while and realizing that his boss hadn't noticed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she glanced at her father, and then at the adults who were discussing, who seemed so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice her little actions.

Fang Lingchu quickly went to her father's side, plucked his beard with great precision, and then quickly returned to her own position.

Although Minister Fang knew why his daughter was like this, he still pretended to be angry and glared at her fiercely.

Fang Lingchu looked around nervously, avoiding eye contact with her father.

Minister Fang glanced at her once and then looked away. After all, they were at court, and it seemed like no one could do anything to her.

Since you're going to get stabbed whether you stick your neck out or not, you might as well take a gamble.

Then he quickly removed the beards of the Crown Prince's tutor, the Grand Preceptor, the Left and Right Chancellors, and finally the last one, which was a bit far from Fang Lingchu.

Fang Lingchu began to worry.

[System, why is that Minister of Rites so far away? How can we get there quickly to pluck his beard? Aaaaaah...]

Fang Lingchu's anxious voice echoed around the room in a 3D surround sound, making everyone's ears ring.

But she still secretly gave the Minister of Rites a reproachful look, as if to say, "You'd better get closer to Lord Fang."

The Minister of Rites quickly stepped forward to discuss the matter, so that he could get very close to Fang Lingchu.

The system, seeing the Minister of Rites standing nearby, said: [Host, now, just one more is needed. Hurry up and make your move, host.]

Fang Lingchu was also a little excited. Looking at the long beard, she secretly reached out and pulled it, then looked down at what Lord Chang was writing, pretending to be very busy.

The Minister of Rites pretended to be bitten by a mosquito, but dared not make any big movements.

After all, inappropriate behavior in front of the emperor could result in a beating.

Fang Lingchu held several people's beards in her hand, secretly put them into her sachet, and then secretly went to her father's side and whispered, "Father, this is a gift from your daughter to you."

When Minister Fang saw his daughter, his forehead throbbed, but he didn't dare to do anything. He simply took his daughter's things and told her to quickly return to her seat.

Fang Lingchu thought happily to herself, "Ahhh, thank goodness I still have my father, the Minister, otherwise I wouldn't know who to give this to."

The system also announced: "[Host, mission complete. Reward successfully issued.]"

Fang Lingchu asked with some curiosity, "How will you distribute them?"

The system proudly declared: "I replaced the pills Consort Jing gave to His Majesty with our own. Aren't I clever?"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Fang Lingchu had completed the mission and the medicine had been delivered.

Soon someone brought a pill, which the emperor took expressionlessly. He soon began to feel the benefits of the medicine.

The tightness in my chest disappeared.

I felt much more relaxed, and my body instantly returned to its peak condition.

The emperor never expected the medicine to be so effective, as it restored his health to that of his time as the crown prince.

Seeing that His Majesty's complexion had improved, Fang Lingchu breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the system said again: [The plot has begun. The roof beam above His Majesty's head is about to fall. Host, get out of the way quickly.]

Upon hearing the sound, Fang Lingchu instinctively lunged at the emperor, knocking him to the ground, causing the roof beams above to crash down on them.

Fang Lingchu closed her eyes, accepting the pain that was about to begin.

But the expected pain didn't come, and then Fang Lingchu secretly opened her eyes.

Then I saw someone split the roof beam in two.

Then Fang Lingchu looked down and saw the emperor she had tackled. She quickly got up and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I... I didn't mean to, Your Majesty..."

Fang Lingchu knelt down in fear, outwardly terrified, but inwardly still able to discuss things with the system.

[System, what if I tackled His Majesty? He won't take me into his harem, will he? Waaaaah, no! I just wanted to save him!]

Everyone: Shouldn't you be worried about your own life? Instead, you're worried about being taken into the palace?
