Chu Qinghuang gave a cold laugh and said nothing. Feng Qingmu poured a cup of tea and brought it to Chu Qinghuang's side, while Liushang and Fang Xiao stood to one side with folded arms, looking at Second Elder with amused expressions. Feeling the gazes of these two, Second Elder wished the ground would open up and swallow him, yet in order to confirm whether the Osmanthus Glutinous Rice Cake was indeed poisoned with Soul-Binding Dream, he still needed Chu Qinghuang's help to verify it, since their own apothecary was unfamiliar with such a poison.
"I have discovered that the young master and a maidservant who has already died both ate the Osmanthus Glutinous Rice Cake. Since Your Excellency was previously able to name the poison Soul-Binding Dream, you must be well-versed in apothecary arts. Therefore... therefore I would like to ask for Your Excellency's help in identifying it."
Chu Qinghuang glanced sideways at Second Elder and remained silent. She did not speak or finish half her meal until she finally took a sip of tea and put down her chopsticks. Throughout this time, Second Elder had been standing outside the door waiting. Chu Qinghuang wiped the corner of her mouth, glanced at Second Elder, and said, "Bring it here."
