Shen Qingxu rested for a while at noon, had lunch with Mu Yunzhou in the dining hall of the horse farm, and continued to learn horse riding. However, he felt very sleepy after only half an hour.

Mu Yunzhou was having fun, and seeing Shen Qingxu not in high spirits, he wondered, "Shen Qingxu, did you go steal chickens last night? Why are you always sleepy?"

"I don't know. I always feel sleepy and never seem to get enough sleep every day."

"Have you seen the imperial physician?"

"The doctor checked it out and said that it was because he was growing taller and would get sleepy easily."

"Then you should go and have a rest, or you won't grow any taller. We'll play together after school in the next few days."

Shen Qingxu yawned and followed Qingfang back home.

Class B of the Yellow Level is not a top class. It just has classes in the morning and afternoon in the first year of enrollment. Starting from the second year, there are generally only morning classes.

The next day, Mu Yunzhou came to see Shen Qingxu specifically after Shen Qingxu had her lunch break.

For several days, Shen Qingxu went to the library to attend morning classes in the morning, practiced martial arts in the afternoon if he had martial arts classes, and went to the stable to practice horse riding if he had no classes.

Now Shen Qingxu can basically trot freely on the horse, but he is not very skilled in riding the horse yet. The master at the stable asked Shen Qingxu to practice more.

Seeing that Mu Yunzhou had almost finished playing, he dragged him to Fengyi Palace.

"Come on, today, I'll take you to Fengyi Palace to eat delicious food!"

Mu Yunzhou followed behind Shen Qingxu, just like a little follower.

Yuan Bao was holding Mu Yunzhou's belongings, pouting in the back. His young master was acting like a nobody, and the princess just needed to coax him. These past few days, he had been making a fuss about not having enough fun during the day, and was determined to blackmail the princess. It looked like he had forgotten all about it.

At this time, Shen Qiuchi was usually dealing with memorials.

But when they entered Fengyi Palace, they did not see Shen Qiuchi, so they took Mu Yunzhou to find Mei Qing, wanting to ask where Shen Qiuchi had gone.

"Princess, the Queen and the Emperor are still discussing matters in the study. You can wait in the palace for a while. I will bring you some snacks."

The two of them wandered around Fengyi Palace, then washed up and went to see the cute little princess.

The boy and the girl played with the little princess Xiao Yuchu for a long time.

It was getting dark and Shen Qiuchi had not returned yet. Shen Qingxu planned to take Mu Yunzhou to have dinner first.

But as soon as I walked out of the side hall, I heard the voice of the palace servant: "Greetings to the Queen Mother"

When Shen Qingxu heard that it was Shen Qiuchi who returned, she went to the main hall to find her sister.

Shen Qiuchi saw that Shen Qingxu was so cute and loved her look. He pinched her little face and asked, "Have you been waiting for a long time? Why didn't you let someone come to inform us? You must be starving. Come and have a meal."

"My sister is busy, so we just played in the palace for a while when we got here, and Mu Yunzhou also played with me. We just went to see my little niece. She was so funny and smiled as soon as she saw me. We were not bored at all." Shen Qingxu hugged Shen Qiuchi's arm and said coquettishly.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen." Mu Yunzhou bowed on the side.

Shen Qiuchi knew that Mu Yunzhou had also come, so he ordered the imperial kitchen to add a few dishes. Mu Yunzhou ate very happily and did not notice the sympathy in Shen Qiuchi's eyes at all.

This silly child doesn't know what he will face next.

The next day, after the jailer delivered the meal to the prison, Prime Minister's wife Lin Mengping complained that the meal was not tasty. However, the meal in the prison was the same every day, so why was today's meal not tasty?

"I really don't like the taste of today's food."

Seeing that no one paid attention to her, Lin Mengping curled her lips and gave the meat dish to Xu Xingyi.

Then she took out the dried meat that Mu Yunzhou brought for her and started to eat it.

As soon as Xu Xingyi took the first bite, he knew why the Prime Minister's wife didn't like today's food. The taste of today's food was nothing unusual, but people who didn't like drinking didn't like the taste.

The taste of the dishes was also different from usual. Xu Xingyi suspected that someone was trying to secretly poison Prime Minister Mu.

He poured the meat that Mrs. Mu handed to him into his bowl.

Afterwards, he found an opportunity to remind Prime Minister Mu that the food might have been poisoned, and asked Prime Minister Mu to pretend to have a stomachache and ask the imperial physician to treat him.

The jailer saw Prime Minister Mu rolling on the bed in pain and was afraid that he had lost his life.

After inviting the imperial physician, Prime Minister Mu again acted as if his time was up.

The imperial physician felt Prime Minister Mu's pulse and gave him a few injections, then hurried back to the palace to report to Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi then summoned the director of the Imperial Hospital to treat Prime Minister Mu.

After the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau arrived, Prime Minister Mu gave him the meat and vegetables left over from lunch.

"This is a highly toxic chronic poison." The head of the Imperial Hospital said in a deep voice.

"You have already used this medicine for several days. The person who poisoned you today added a catalytic poison to trigger the previous poison. Within three days, even if a great immortal came, he would be powerless to save you."

"That person probably wants you to be poisoned as soon as possible." said the head of the Imperial Hospital.

Prime Minister Mu said, "Please trouble the imperial physician to report this matter to His Majesty."

"Of course. I hope Your Excellency takes care of himself. I will take my leave now." The head of the courtyard said and walked out.

After the head of the court left, Prime Minister Mu read the letter that the head of the court had brought with him and had an idea in his mind.

He pretended to chat with Xu Xingyi as usual.
