Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 702 Test
"Your Highness, I admit that I didn't do anything to displease His Highness, so why did Your Highness poison me to death?"

Looking at the poison placed on the tray in the hands of the palace man, the female official looked at the little princess with an expression of unwillingness.

"For you, what is this palace?" The little princess, as the crown prince, is in charge of the East Palace. She looked at the female officer and said with a smile.

"You are the crown prince appointed by the emperor, the empress dowager of Daxing, and the future empress. To Yu Chen, you are the emperor."

Although she didn't know the purpose of the little princess's question, the female officer still opened her mouth to answer the question.

"Very good. I am the king. Since this is the case, there is a saying, you should have heard it, that is 'the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die'. Now, the palace wants you to die, will you die or not?"

After hearing the female officer's answer, the little princess nodded and spoke again.

For a moment, the female officer was a little speechless, not knowing how to respond, she stared at the tray in the palace man's hand, and did not move for a long time.

"Since that's the case, you should go aside first and think about it carefully." Seeing her like this, the little princess looked away and looked at other people.

Each person's note gave different tasks, which were specially prepared tasks based on their respective reactions.

"Are you going to follow the note? Or, like her, you should question Ben Gong first?"

The voice of the little princess sounded, and her gaze flicked over everyone, she wanted to see, faced with the choice, how would they choose?

"His Royal Highness, I am willing to complete the task according to the note." On this woman's note, the mission is similar to that of the previous female officer, except that the previous female officer took poison, and she used a dagger.

"Okay, bring things up." The little princess responded with a smile, and a palace man brought up a dagger, and the woman picked it up and was about to strike.

"Wait a minute, this is the main hall of the East Palace. I haven't moved in yet. It's not auspicious to see blood now. How about this, Chang Xi, take her to the side hall next to it, and bring back the bloody dagger later."

The little princess stopped the woman's movements, and gave Chang Xi an order, and Chang Xi responded, leading the woman out of the main hall.

"Who else is there?" Stretching out her hand to support her chin, the little princess smiled, and someone stood up again, and completed the little princess's task according to the note, without any hesitation.

"When you're done, go to the other side. Sit down and rest for now." After ordering, the little princess looked at the incense burner on the other side. The burning incense was almost at its end.

In this palace, there are still some people who hesitate and refuse to complete the task according to the note.

Chang Xi came back from the side hall and brought back a bloody dagger, "Your Highness, what should we do with the body of the female official?"

"Have someone use a good coffin for the funeral, send it home, and by the way, give me a little heart."

Looking carefully at the dagger, the little princess ordered, looking at her, she didn't care about the death of the female official.

"As the crown prince, how can you disregard human life?" The female official who needed to take poison before stood up with an angry face, and pointed at the little princess.

"Human life? How do you know that Ben Gong is disregarding human life?" Still with a smile on her face, the little princess looked at the poison in front of her, "Haven't you drunk it yet? It seems that you don't intend to follow Ben Gong's wishes, Come to complete the task."

"All of us studied hard to get to where we are today, and our family is still pointing at our glory, but what about you? You don't take our lives seriously at all!"

"A good man, you give us poison and let us commit suicide, how could the emperor choose you as the prince?"

Pointing at the little princess, the female officer cursed, although there were no harsh words, but in the end, she is a courtier, and the little princess is a king.

"You people, do you want to complete the task?" The remaining people have completed half of the task, and the remaining half are still struggling.

The little princess didn't care much about the female officer's scolding. She looked at the others and asked again.

At this moment, the incense around her has already exhausted and will soon be extinguished.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness." The few remaining people knelt on the ground and apologized to the little princess.

"And you, I don't think you can drink anymore, Chang Xi." Looking back at the female officer who scolded her, the little princess ordered.

Chang Xi walked down from her side, went in front of the female officer, picked up the medicine on the tray, and drank it all in one gulp.

"You..." The female officer was startled and looked at Chang Xi dumbfounded, only to see that Chang Xi had finished drinking the 'poison', but there was no reaction at all.

"It's not poison at all. From the very beginning, you have always questioned His Highness's words, so His Highness deliberately tested you, Sun Yao, come in."

Shouting towards the outside of the hall, the woman who was taken to the side hall before came in from outside the hall.

When everyone saw her, they were even more surprised. After all, the blood-stained dagger was brought back, and the little princess said such things, but now, she is clearly alive.

"Sun Yao, tell them, how can I disregard human lives?" At that time, besides the female official who asked to take poison, Sun Yao was the one who questioned the little princess.

After observing for the past few days, Sun Yao is a person who likes to raise doubts, but she will still do what should be done, and she will do it very well.

As the crown prince, the little princess hopes that there are people around her who dare to ask questions, but not everyone will question her.

Obviously, although the woman who asked to take poison would also doubt it, no matter what happened, even if she knew it was right, she would have to doubt it first and use her own thoughts to think about it.

To put it bluntly, she didn't pay attention to the little princess who was younger than her at all.

The little princess didn't need such a person, so she gave her the last chance to 'suicide by taking poison', but in fact, the bowl was not poison at all, but a modified sweet soup, which tasted very good.

"I obey the order." Sun Yao, who received the order, described the whole process of the matter once.

She saw the words on the note, and really thought about it, why did the little princess make herself like this?

During this period, she saw the female official who asked to commit suicide by taking poison. Although she hesitated for a while, she still decided to do as the little princess said.

So, she was taken to the side hall, Chang Xi handed her the dagger, she held the dagger, took a few deep breaths, and finally stabbed the dagger on her body.

The pain she imagined did not appear, but there was blood. She was very surprised, and then realized that the blood was from the dagger.

At that moment, the tip of the dagger was completely retracted, and what she was holding was just a handle.

"Chang Xi, this..." Sun Yao knew Chang Xi, and she looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Congratulations, you have completed all the assessments assigned by His Highness. You will wait outside the hall for a while. When I call you, you will come in."

Smiling, she took the dagger from her hand and returned to normal. Chang Xi instructed Sun Yao to be very happy, so she followed Chang Xi's order and waited outside the hall.
