Lin Xiaofan's vision gradually cleared, but the system prompts in his mind remained chaotic. He caught sight of the Crown Prince's cold gaze and glanced at the drowsy old Emperor on the high platform. Suddenly, an idea struck him—wasn’t this the perfect opportunity to complete his mission?!
"Your Majesty!" Lin Xiaofan suddenly shouted, his voice trembling slightly, "I have a memorial to present!"
The crowd erupted in an uproar. A mere guard dared to proclaim "I have a memorial" during the Ritual of Offering to Heaven? The old Emperor seemed startled by this turn of events, squinting his bleary eyes in Lin Xiaofan's direction: "Who is making such a commotion?"
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xiaofan decided to go all out: "Your Majesty! You have been Emperor for thirty years, and it has been utterly unacceptable!"
The Crown Prince was overjoyed: "You audacious fool! Someone seize him—"
"Wait." The old Emperor raised his hand to stop him, a strange expression crossing his face. "Let him finish."
Lin Xiaofan cleared his throat and began the most daring performance of his life: "Just look at yourself! You’ve reigned for thirty years, and the people are well-fed and clothed, with hardly any wars at the borders. Now, there isn’t even a reason for rebellion among the common folk!"
"You are frugal to a fault, wearing patched dragon robes while causing the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau to suffer losses year after year!"
"You favor wise ministers, creating a solidly united court that makes it nearly impossible for those of us who wish to take shortcuts!"
"And what’s most infuriating is that you live such a long life; the Crown Prince has waited over thirty years without being able to ascend the throne. Don’t you think that’s excessive?!"
The hall fell into dead silence.
The old Emperor's expression shifted from shock to confusion and finally erupted into laughter: "What a sharp-tongued lad! You’re not scolding me; you’re clearly finding creative ways to praise me!"
The Crown Prince's face turned ashen: "Father, this person is causing chaos during the ceremony—"
"Enough." The old Emperor waved his hand dismissively. "Let the ceremony continue. This little guard... is interesting. I want to meet him personally later."
【Ding! Mission accomplished!】
【Acquired skill: Medical Sage!】
【Skill effect: Can identify and dispel all poisons and illusions.】
Lin Xiaofan let out a long sigh of relief, his legs nearly giving way beneath him. Princess Ning An timely supported him and whispered, "Quick, pretend to faint!"
Lin Xiaofan immediately understood, rolling his eyes back as he "fainted." The princess quickly called for her attendants: "Hurry! Carry him to the side hall to rest!"
In the side hall, Lin Xiaofan sprang up from the stretcher without a trace of faintness left in him.
"That spice is definitely problematic!" he said urgently to the princess and Zhuge Liang, "I saw Moro! He was in that delivery truck right before I crossed over!"
Zhuge Liang frowned, "Are you saying that this spice can evoke a person's deepest memories?"
"Not just that." Lin Xiaofan activated his Medical Sage skill, a faint blue light glimmering in his eyes. "I can see that something has been mixed into the spice... it's a combination of Mandala Flower Pollen and some kind of mineral from the Western Regions!"
He pulled out the porcelain bottle that the princess had given him earlier. "The antidote you mentioned is still missing a Western Snow Lotus, right?"
Princess Ning An nodded. "The snow lotus grows in extremely cold regions; aside from the Crown Prince's Mansion's storeroom, there are no other supplies in the capital."
Huo Qubing, who had been guarding outside, suddenly stepped in. "Why don't we just storm the Crown Prince's Mansion and take it?"
【Warning! Detected uncalibrated violent tendencies!】
【Punishment mechanism activated: All members must dress as women for 24 hours!】
A notification echoed in their minds simultaneously, and each of them found themselves suddenly dressed in... women's clothing?!
