The little princess' mind was read, and the court and harem were eating melons

Although he complained like this, when the system asked whether he wanted to punch in, Li Qingyi still spent 1 energy to eat a melon which was better than nothing after confirming that there was no limit on the size of the melon.

How should I put it, the main thing is that she has a crush on the little palace maid, so who wouldn’t be interested?

System: […Although there is no limit on the size of the melon, host, isn’t your melon too small? ]

Li Qingyi rolled his eyes silently in his heart, but thought: [I have to save some merit to buy the map, right? ]

Although she might still not buy the 20% off map, but with the 20% off for seven days and additional discounts for longer check-in time, she also wanted to see how cheap it could be in the end.

It would be best if you could buy it with 1 energy.

Although at the moment, the possibility is not high.

After confirming that there were only these two items in this update, and the rest were updates to the intelligence library, which all needed to be purchased, Li Qingyi finally had the opportunity to ask what he wanted to ask at the beginning: [Is the fifth prince really sick or faking it? ]

And it was at this moment that the people who had been listening attentively for a long time but could not hear anything clearly finally heard a word they could hear clearly.

Yes, they all knew about the system when it appeared before, and they also heard the system's humming sound, but the subtle thing was that although Li Qingyi and the system talked a lot back and forth, they could not hear clearly the content of their communication.

It was blurry, as if covered by a veil; you knew they were talking, but you had no idea what they were saying.

Naturally, someone reported this situation to the emperor, but the emperor was not surprised.

After all, he had experienced it himself.

At this moment, everyone had different thoughts when they heard Li Qingyi asking the system about the fifth prince.

System: [Fifth Prince Li Cong? Let me take a look. I was away for just one day, so how come the Fifth Prince is sick? ]

[Ah, I found it.] The system said softly, and then said to Li Qingyi: [Host, the fifth prince is pretending to be sick, but it seems that he will really get sick soon.]

When Li Qingyi heard about pretending to be sick, he said in his heart, "Sure enough." He was about to scold the fifth prince, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, he became interested: "What do you mean? Could it be that after pretending to be sick today, he found that my father didn't fall for it, so he was going to be ruthless to me?"

System: [No, the emperor just sent someone to get the secret medicine from the previous dynasty and put it into the tea that the fifth prince drank.]

Li Qingyi was shocked: [My father poisoned him? ]

System confusion: [You can say that, but why? ]

The rest of the people were shocked: What? Is the emperor so angry that he wants to kill his son himself?

Li Qingyi herself also felt a chill on her back. Although she didn't want the Fifth Prince to have an easy time, he was still the Emperor's biological son after all, right?

Even Li Qingyi herself, when she first heard what the fifth prince had done, at the moment when her anger level was at its highest, she didn't think of killing anyone!

If the emperor really killed his own son, even if it was for the prince, Li Qingyi would think he was very cruel!

Right now, she and her brother are the favorites of the emperor, so they are the beneficiaries. But if one day in the future, the emperor loses his favorite, wouldn't her brother become a thorn in his side? ?

If an emperor could kill his own son, would he not kill his other son?

Who believes it!

Li Qingyi was genuinely shocked, but on the other hand, she felt that her father would not be so heartless. After a moment of silence, she thought of something and asked quickly: "Can you figure out the specific effects of that secret medicine?"

System: [Oh, no, I can only see that the secret medicine is from the past, oh, I just missed a word, it is a secret medicine circulated in the palace of the previous dynasty. As for the specific effect, the information is locked. Either the host spends energy to buy it, or the host sees if you can find the corresponding information, and I can unlock the corresponding content here.]

Li Qingyi: ...

How should I put it? Should I say that at least the system didn't let her buy it directly this time?

But at this time, Li Qingyi didn't have the energy to ask about such things, so he asked directly: [How much? ]

System: [100 Energy.]

Li Qingyi was silent for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "Buy it."

Then, the system and Li Qingyi knew the magical effect of the so-called secret medicine.

Li Qingyi: [It makes people weak and bedridden, and finally presents a state of suspended animation. They can recover by taking the corresponding antidote within seven days, and can return to normal in thirty to sixty days... Is this the power derived from novels? ]

There is no such thing in the normal world!

But the question is, why did her father give the Fifth Prince this fake death drug?

Li Qingyi felt that the mystery of this matter increased instead of decreased, because the system said that he didn't know what the emperor was thinking!

System: [The emperor only ordered people to do this, but he didn’t tell anyone the reason for doing so, so I naturally don’t know why! ]

System: [But this is fine. Although it is just a fake death, this medicine will make people experience the feeling of being on the verge of death. No matter what the emperor's purpose is, the fifth prince will definitely suffer. This can be regarded as revenge for your brother! ]

Li Qingyi thought about it and agreed with it.

but……

Li Qingyi: [This medicine is really outrageous no matter how you think about it! ]

Not to mention that if there is such amazing medical technology in this era, why not use it to save lives, just think about what was the original intention of developing this medicine?

Is it specifically designed to make people fake their deaths?

It's impossible that someone accidentally made this strange fake-death drug while developing poison, right?

[Wait, what novel are you talking about as a derivative of?] Li Qingyi suddenly asked.

System: [Hmm? Let me see, hmm...ancient romance novel, the tags include palace fighting, house fighting, Jianghu, group love, sadomasochism, replacement life, revenge...Hey, host, this novel has so many tags.]

Li Qingyi: [Not only are there many, but there are also contradictions. How did the group pet and sadomasochism come together? ]

But after hearing the label of palace fighting and house fighting, Li Qingyi felt relieved.

Li Qingyi: [Okay, help me keep an eye on the Fifth Prince and Concubine Shu's movements. Their movements should be considered as intelligence from the same source. I don't need to spend any extra money, right?]

System: [Yes! ]

Li Qingyi: [Keep an eye on me, and tell me if you have any new information. ]

System: [Okay! 】

After the conversation with the system came to an end, Li Qingyi was finally able to focus on reality. However, when he turned around, he felt something was wrong. The hall seemed inexplicably empty.

Fang Xin noticed her movements and stepped forward with a smile: "Does your Highness have any instructions?"

Li Qingyi looked around and was sure that there were indeed a few fewer people around her, so she asked, "How many palace maids are there?"

Fang Xin smiled unchanged: "The Queen needs some help. I thought it was time for you to go to bed, so I asked them to go to the front to help."

Li Qingyi blinked, "Aunt, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look pale?"
