Countless gazes were focused on her. She was very clear in her heart that countless people were looking at her at this moment, but she was terrifyingly calm. Never … Yes, she had never been as calm as she was now. She was so calm, as if nothing had happened …

Beneath the city walls, countless people were clamoring loudly. She could hear many people peddling and also hear many people calling out her name.

But... But it didn't seem to have anything to do with her.

He silently walked forward as if he didn't see anyone. Everything in front of him was destroyed. He was the only one in front, and other than himself, no one else existed. All of them were blank.

"Miss Gu, are you ready?"

Gu Qingyi stood properly, and a white-haired imperial physician slowly stepped forward to greet her by nodding his head.

She knew that at this moment, while her identity wasn't known yet, the imperial physician could already be considered to be giving her a lot of face by nodding at her.

However, she didn't care one bit about these so-called etiquette. Some people had incomparable respect for her on the surface, but they could stab her in the back. Some people didn't treat her well on the surface, but they were actually the kindest in their hearts, so she could only smile and nod at the imperial physician's behavior.

Gu Qingyi nodded as the corners of her lips curled up into a faint smile.

Everything was within his calculations. Everything was what he wanted, so how could he not be prepared?

"In that case, Miss Gu, please extend your hand."

The old imperial physician didn't tremble with her and nodded, indicating that she should stretch out her hand.

Gu Qingyi smiled and slowly extended her hand.

Her slender fingers and white jade-like fingernails were neatly trimmed. After a month of maintenance, her fingers had become white and tender, and there were no longer any calluses on them. It was just that her fingers were thicker than ordinary girls. For today's test, her fingers didn't have the slightest bit of color, not to mention the current popularity of a woman's pill.

"En, alright!" This old man will take the blood now, it'll hurt a little. "

The old imperial physician nodded, indicating for the other two physicians to take a look. After the three physicians confirmed that there were no problems, the old imperial physician slowly took out a brand-new silver needle from the box and lightly poked Gu Qingyi's finger.

Suddenly, Gu Qingyi felt a sharp pain and involuntarily gasped. She reflexively tried to retract her hand, but the old imperial physician had already prepared for this, so he could not retract her fingers even if they were bent inwards.

"Please wait a moment."

The old imperial physician pinched Gu Qingyi's finger and squeezed hard. A drop of blood slowly dripped into the jar he had prepared.

The other imperial physician also signaled Gu Yinian to take the blood, but Gu Yan Nian didn't let him do it. Instead, he took away the silver needle from Gu Yan Nian's hand and poked his own finger without hesitation …

"Beep!"

The blood slowly dripped into the cup.

In that instant, everyone held their breath. The people around them were all watching, but no one dared to make the slightest sound.

Everyone on top of the city wall widened their eyes. Even the empress dowager and emperor couldn't help but stand up, while those waiting for the results couldn't help but tiptoe, even though they knew they couldn't see anything.

Time passed minute by minute.

At this moment, it was as if time had stopped. Everyone could not help but clench their fists.

Only...

There was only one person standing far away with a faint smile on his face as he muttered to himself, "You can't blame me for this. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky and not coming back."
