Playing the Pig and Eating the Tiger: My Funny System is Too Fierce

Chapter 104 Pretend to be real

"What? Concubine Jia committed suicide?" Su Qing frowned, "She's dead?"

The maid shook her head: "The doctor said he is still breathing and they are trying to save him now."

[Ding! Emergency]

[Concubine Jia's status: attempted fake death]

[Tips: This is a play]

"Let's go and take a look." Su Qing stood up, but was thinking in her heart: This old fox is playing a big game.

When they arrived at Concubine Jia's bedroom, the imperial physician was treating her. The prime minister and several ministers also rushed over, even Mo Yunchen was there.

[Ding! Important occasion]

【Characters Gathering】

【Recommendation: Observe carefully】

"Your Highness." Su Qing saluted.

Mo Yunchen nodded slightly, with a deep meaning in his eyes: "You came just in time."

The imperial physician stood up and said, "Your Highness, Concubine Jia took a strong poison. Fortunately, it was discovered early..."

[Ding! Situation Analysis]

【Suspicious points:

1. Where do potent poisons come from?

2. Why was it discovered so promptly?

3. Isn’t the on-site staff too complete? 】

"This is all Su Qing's fault!" Suddenly, a sharp voice rang out. It was Concubine Jia's personal maid.

"If she hadn't framed the Queen, the Queen wouldn't have..."

[Ding! The rhythm is off.]

[Enemy Strategy: Public Opinion Attack]

【Suggestion: Respond calmly】

Su Qing was about to speak, but Mo Yunchen spoke first: "Where is the evidence?"

"This..." The palace maid was speechless for a moment.

"How dare you frame others without any evidence?" Mo Yunchen said coldly, "Come here, arrest her!"

[Ding! Prince assists]

Maintenance level: MAX

【Suggestion: Go with the flow】

"Wait a minute!" The Prime Minister stepped forward, "Your Highness, this matter still needs to be investigated..."

"Oh?" Mo Yunchen looked at the Prime Minister, "The Prime Minister seems to be particularly concerned about the affairs of the harem?"

The Prime Minister's face changed: "This old minister is just..."

[Ding! The situation is reversed]

[Prime Minister: Dilemma]

【Suggestion: Last Hit】

Su Qing then spoke up: "Speaking of which, I do have a question."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Mo Yunchen said.

"The Concubine Jia was under house arrest, and according to reason, no one was allowed to visit her. So how did she get such a strong poison?"

There was silence.

[Ding! God-level question]

[Effect: Hit the vital point directly]

【Recommendation: Continue to apply pressure】

"Unless..." Su Qing glanced at the Prime Minister, "Someone is secretly helping?"

The Prime Minister's forehead was sweating: "This...this is all speculation!"

At this moment, Concubine Jia suddenly coughed and opened her eyes.

[Ding! The key figure wakes up]

[Princess Jia's status: acting skills burst out]

【Suggestion: Wait for the good show】

"The Queen is awake!" the palace maid shouted in surprise.

Concubine Jia said weakly: "Who... saved me?"

"It was the imperial physician who arrived just in time..."

"Wait," Su Qing suddenly said, "How did the imperial physician know to come?"

[Ding! God-level follow-up question]

Full of flaws

【Suggestion: Seize the opportunity to win】

Concubine Jia's face changed, obviously she didn't expect this question.

"this......"

"Besides," Su Qing continued, "the Queen should be unconscious after being poisoned, but Her Majesty asked very clearly just now."

[Ding! Perfect exposure]

[Princess Jia: Acting Collapse]

【Suggestion: Critical Strike】

Mo Yunchen's eyes flashed with admiration, and he said to the outside of the door: "Call the Queen Mother!"

Soon, the Queen Mother hurried over.

Seeing the situation on the scene, she sneered: "What a show!"

[Ding! Strongest support]

[Queen Mother's Anger Value: MAX]

【Suggestion: Wait and see】

"Mother..." Concubine Jia wanted to defend herself.

"That's enough!" the Queen Mother said sternly. "First you poisoned me, and now you're trying this again. Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

The Prime Minister quickly knelt down and said, "Empress Dowager, please calm down..."

"You shut up too!" The Queen Mother was even more furious. "What a great Prime Minister! How dare you interfere in the affairs of the harem!"

[Ding! Chaos]

【Enemy Collapse】

【Suggestion: Sit back and wait】

Su Qing stood quietly by and watched all this.

Suddenly, she noticed that Concubine Jia's hand moved slightly under the quilt.

[Ding! Danger warning]

【Abnormality found】

【Recommendation: Take action now】

Almost as an instinctive reaction, Su Qing rushed forward and lifted the quilt - a dagger with a cold glow fell to the ground!

The whole place was in an uproar!

[Ding! Thrilling moment]

[The conspiracy was exposed]

【Recommendation: Stay vigilant】

"This..." Concubine Jia's face turned pale.

"It seems the Queen has more than one plan," Su Qing picked up the dagger, "Is she planning to use a knife if poisoning doesn't work?"

Mo Yunchen's face was gloomy: "Come here, take Concubine Jia to the cold palace! Prime Minister, you come with me!"

[Ding! The end is coming]

[Victory Result]

【Suggestion: Keep a low profile】

After everyone left, the Queen Mother took Su Qing's hand and said, "Good child, if it weren't for you..."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind," Su Qing said with a smile, "I am just lucky."

"Luck?" the Queen Mother said meaningfully. "I think it's strength."

[Ding! Relationships are heating up]

【Queen Mother’s Approval: MAX】

【Suggestion: Keep going】

Returning to the courtyard, Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss," Xiao Cui asked curiously, "how did you know that Concubine Jia was acting?"

Su Qing smiled mysteriously: "Intuition."

【Ding! Daily interaction】

【Xiao Cui's curiosity: MAX】

【Suggestion: Disclose appropriately】

"Oh, right," Xiao Cui suddenly remembered something, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to tell you that we will be in the Imperial Garden to enjoy the moon at midnight tonight."

Su Qing: ...

【Ding! Surprise date】

[The Prince takes the initiative to invite]

【Suggestion: Dress well】

"Miss, are you going?" Xiao Cui asked excitedly.

"What do you think?" Su Qing blinked.

As the night deepens, a secret date is about to begin.

But before that, Su Qing had to think carefully first——

What should I wear?
