Chapter 175 The Imperial Advisor of a Female-Dominated Society (Part 21)

"Imperial Preceptor." The Empress looked somewhat dejected. When she saw Qingyu, she simply waved her hand and had someone arrange a seat for her.

The main hall was completely silent.

Qingyu gracefully sat down in her seat, then raised her eyes to look at the group of people in the center of the hall—

Lu Yan was kneeling, Feng Yan'er was standing, and Feng Yu was being carried over.

All eyes were on Qingyu, because she had such a strong presence, and every move she made was full of charm, drawing people in without them having to look at her.

After a long silence, the Empress finally spoke slowly: "What is the Grand Preceptor's opinion on this assassination attempt?"

Her gentle gaze rested on Qingyu, as if she were waiting for an answer.

His gaze was direct and expectant.

Qingyu gently played with the fan in her hand, a faint smile playing on her lips. She understood that the Empress had already investigated, but she didn't want to accept the answer and hoped to hear something else from Qingyu.

“Your Majesty, this matter is fraught with suspicion. Lu Yan is a servant of the Seventh Princess, and he has always been taciturn and rarely leaves his residence. Why would he suddenly attempt an assassination? And if he was acting on the orders of the Crown Princess… that doesn’t seem likely. Could it be someone’s scheme to kill two birds with one stone?”

Her clear and insightful words flowed into everyone's hearts like a refreshing spring.

The eavesdropping system was startled and completely bewildered. "Are you trying to expose Gu Zhongchun's identity? But he's helping you! Aren't you just looking forward to seeing Feng Yu and the others suffer?"

Qingyu's bright face showed an even more sincere smile, her red lips slightly pursed, a serene smile on her face.

"You're wrong, I'm planning to make everyone...unlucky!"

System: "..." You're playing pretty big!

It didn't dare to make a sound again. Oh well, their track is weird now, and it's hard to say how it repaired its soul. As long as it can be repaired, that's fine!

Upon hearing this, Feng Yan'er's eyes lit up, and she quickly retorted, "The Imperial Advisor is right! We sisters are the closest of friends, how could I possibly arrange for someone to assassinate my seventh sister? Mother, you know me best, I would never do such a thing!"

Damn it, she's sitting in the palace and disaster strikes her from the sky!

If she really did it, she would accept it, but this time she really didn't lift a finger! The lesson from last time is still fresh in her mind, how could she be so reckless as to take action!

Upon hearing this, the Empress's face turned serious, her brows furrowed, and her majestic gaze swept over everyone before finally settling on Lu Yan.

This person was seriously injured; if it weren't for ginseng slices prolonging his life, he would probably have already passed away.

"Lu Yan, say it again, who instructed you?"

Lu Yan lay on the ground, barely breathing. He struggled to lift his head, his heart pounding as his gaze swept over Qing Yu. He lowered his eyes, weakly and feebly trying to answer again, "Yes..."

"Lu Yan? I advise you to think carefully before you speak. Sometimes, things don't go the way you want them to." Qingyu interrupted Lu Yan, her cold words devoid of any emotion, yet they resonated deeply with him.

He had never felt this way before; he felt an overwhelming urge to unconditionally submit to this person.

He struggled internally, but when he met those clear eyes, his defenses completely crumbled.

He forced a smile before addressing the Queen: "I am... an assassin from the Assassin's Guild."

As soon as she finished speaking, a flying blade appeared out of nowhere, but was immediately deflected by the Queen's guards with a single strike, who then immediately apprehended the attacker.

Unfortunately, the man immediately swallowed the medicine and died.

"His Majesty……"

The guards were momentarily at a loss, and the Empress's face also turned grim. She took a deep breath and pointed at Lu Yan, "You—continue speaking!"

Lu Yan closed his eyes briefly. "I need to speak with you privately!"

"How dare you! You're already at your last gasp, so hurry up and confess!" Feng Yan'er couldn't help but shout, glancing at the Empress's expression as she spoke. Seeing that the Empress didn't stop her, she was secretly pleased and began to clear herself of any involvement in the matter.

No matter how many words she said, Lu Yan always insisted on speaking alone.

In the end, Qingyu stepped forward. With a faint smile, she nodded and said, "The Seventh Princess is getting weaker and weaker. Your Majesty should make plans as soon as possible."

The Empress nodded with a complicated expression, her gaze falling on Feng Yu with increasing pity and heartache.

Feng Yu clenched her fists tightly, not daring to look directly into those eyes.

She was afraid she would go berserk.

I've never seen a time traveler who's had it worse than her!

Before long, everyone in the main hall was cleared out, except for Qingyu, who was left behind.

But before leaving, Feng Yu's greasy and reluctant expression made Qing Yu want to slap her.

But I'm also afraid she'll become too beautiful.

Some people have absolutely no bottom line when it comes to beauty.

"Grand Preceptor, thank you for your hard work." The Empress said politely, and then had Qingyu sit next to her. The closer the two were, the more naturally close the Empress felt to Qingyu.

This led to the Queen being much more direct and blunt in her subsequent questioning.

"Who sent you? Do you like Xiao Qi?"

"Did you intentionally kill so many people? Why didn't you say so from the beginning?"

"Have you and Xiaoqi shared a room?"

……

Not only Qingyu found it novel, but even Lu Yan fell silent.

The series of questions not only baffled Lu Yan, but also Qing Yu.

In the end, Lu Yan used the same old excuse.

He seemed convinced of it all, and everything he said was true, except…

He casually said something bad about Feng Yan'er without realizing it.

The Empress was so angry that she trembled all over. In the end, she stopped looking at Lu Yan on the ground and went to the outer hall.

Feng Yan'er, who was still relieved, was stunned by the Empress's anger.

By the time she finally realized what was happening, her position as Crown Princess had already been revoked, and she was completely dejected.

As the most innocent party, Feng Yu wanted to do something to make amends, but found that it was too late.

If the imperial physician is right, Feng Yu only has three days left.

Three days...

Nothing can be done.

"It was I... who failed to keep a close eye on you." The Empress hesitated, then sighed. "If your father knew, he would surely scold me..."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure they suffer a terrible death."

The Empress spoke at length, and Feng Yu listened with a blank face, feeling increasingly uneasy.

She's not dead yet!

Saying his last words in front of her?! Who is he trying to disgust?!

Unfortunately, she was in a daze and dared not ask for anything more. She just looked at the center of the hall and tentatively said, "I want to spend more time with the Imperial Preceptor. Perhaps... in the next life, I can be reborn as my father's daughter."

Today's words...

The Empress simply couldn't refuse.

"as long as you are happy."

Qingyu's gaze fell on Fengyu, who was finally able to openly give her a passionate look.

"National Master..."

Qingyu's face remained expressionless, neither sad nor happy. Even though Fengyu was a dying man, she showed no emotion whatsoever.

The face beneath the silver mask remained unchanged, not even the curve of the lips, as he simply replied in a businesslike manner: "Seventh Princess, I do not have the ability to guide your reincarnation."
