After hearing her gossip, all the civil and military officials went crazy.

Chapter 103 Not a Corrupt Official
The system, realizing the conversation had strayed off course, quickly suggested: "Host, how about you give Song Xiaoyu a push, get him to side with the Crown Prince, and then you say Song Xiaoyu is planning to assassinate the Crown Prince?"

Upon hearing the system's name, Fang Ling began to think about it seriously.

Meanwhile, others also seriously considered the feasibility of this approach.

Assassinating the crown prince is punishable by the execution of the entire family, isn't it?
With a single sentence, the adults who had just been criticizing Fang Lingchu's thinking were diverted to other matters.

Minister Fang breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Those adults almost ate him up just now because of his appearance.

The emperor glanced at the two generals beside Song Xiaoyu.

The two generals received the emperor's signal, and one of them came up behind Song Xiaoyu and gave him a hard shove on the buttocks.

Another person grabbed his hand and took the hairpin from their own hair, then rushed towards the prince.

This change came so suddenly that no one else had time to react.

Driven only by instinct, Gu Wangyan pulled the Crown Prince behind him and kicked Song Xiaoyu, knocking him to the ground.

Fang Lingchu was dumbfounded.

What's going on? What's going on? Why did they start fighting?

Upon hearing Fang Lingchu's thoughts, the emperor felt somewhat guilty.

Those two generals who faked their identities are also very guilty. If Fang Lingchu, that silly girl, reveals this, will they be punished?

The system announced: "Song Xiaoyu just suddenly attacked the Crown Prince."

Fang Lingchu immediately responded with a curt "xx," complaining, "Has Song Xiaoyu gone mad? Why would he want to assassinate the Crown Prince, especially inside the palace? Does he have a death wish? But that's not important. Darling, darling, I'm here."

The system said: "Host, calm down. Are you sure you don't like it? Do you know what's going on? Something feels off."

Fang Lingchu excitedly said, "No need, no need. Who cares what the reason is? As long as it's not my fault, that's fine. Now we need to figure out how to raid their house together, hehehe."

The system thought about it and agreed, so it stopped thinking about it.

Hearing the conversation between the two, the emperor and the two generals breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be somewhat embarrassing if this were said out loud.

Only Song Xiaoyu, who was pinned to the ground, stared wide-eyed, hoping that Fang Lingchu would tell him.

Unfortunately, he no longer had the chance to speak.

"How dare you, Song Xiaoyu, assassinate the Crown Prince! Guards, take him away and keep him under strict guard! Arrest the entire Song family! Is the Song family plotting a rebellion?"

Now that the Crown Prince has been assassinated, will I be next? And the Imperial Guards, investigate thoroughly. Why have these unscrupulous individuals infiltrated the officialdom? Investigate them thoroughly, from top to bottom. How many more people wish for my death…?

The emperor was furious, and the entire Song family was arrested.

The Imperial Clan Court and the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review joined forces to solve the case, causing widespread anxiety among the officials.

None of this has anything to do with Fang Lingchu.

The emperor is angry, so the meeting is definitely canceled.

We know what we should know and what we shouldn't know.

Now their task is to find the person, resolve the crisis in the Northwest, and eliminate the hidden dangers left behind by Princess Li'an.

Fang Lingchu followed the Crown Prince and Gu Wangyan, her face full of flattery.

The Crown Prince looked at Fang Lingchu and said, "Young Lady Fang, is there anything I can do for you?" Fang Lingchu asked with a grin, "Your Highness, I've never seen a house raided before. May I come along and take a look?"

She blinked her big eyes, looking like she was super well-behaved.

Seeing her like this, Gu Wangyan smiled and said, "Let Lord Fang come along!"

Fang Lingchu was so happy when she heard Gu Wangyan's words that she almost jumped up.

But seeing so many people staring at her, she walked shyly behind Gu Wangyan.

[Guagua, this is so embarrassing! Waaah, I'm so ashamed!]

The system reassured him: "[It's alright, host. It's better than you drinking and having the Crown Prince act like a dog.]"

Others: What? Lord Fang made the Crown Prince his dog? He wasn't beaten to death by His Majesty after all that, and the Crown Prince still treats him so well. Lord Fang must be very favored by the Emperor!
Crown Prince: How could he even say something like this? Does he have any sense of shame?

Gu Wangyan smiled and blocked Fang Lingchu completely.

The Crown Prince looked at Gu Wangyan with a resentful expression, his gaze seemingly looking through Gu Wangyan and then at Fang Lingchu behind him.

Gu Wangyan blocked the Crown Prince's gaze and said, "Crown Prince, you should hurry to the Song family!"

Then he pulled Fang Lingchu away first.

The crown prince followed behind, furious. Why did all the good things go to Gu Wangyan, while he had to take the blame and make things ugly? It was unfair.

Then the Crown Prince quickly came to the other side, took Fang Lingchu's other hand, and followed them.

Fang Lingchu: ? ? ? What are these two doing?

[Guagua, what are those two trying to do? Are they going to drag me out?]

Fang Lingchu's feet were now off the ground; she was being carried along by the two of them.

Hearing Fang Lingchu's thoughts, the two quickly let go, allowing Fang Lingchu to walk on her own.
[Maybe he's worried you'll get tired! But the Crown Prince's expression seemed a bit jealous.]

Fang Lingchu no longer wanted to talk about the system.

Okay, enough of this nonsense, let's hurry up and see where the treasure is, then we'll grab it and leave.

The system said: "The treasure is in the Song family's basement. Many of them are spoils of war from Prince An's lifetime. He never handed them over. He kept 80% of what he got from battles and only gave 20% to the old emperor. Even so, the old emperor was still very happy."

There's also what Song Xiaoyu earned through his own wars. Although he wasn't a good person and treated his wife badly, he was quite skilled at accumulating wealth. A lot of it came from his own business dealings and trade with other countries.

There are also some trinkets left behind by the descendants of the Mohist school; you might like them, host.

Fang Lingchu asked, somewhat confused, "These things must be stolen money, right? How do I get them?"

The system quickly replied, "Host, I've upgraded, and my system space has increased a little. Now, besides the little golden egg, there's nothing else inside. Just secretly take some and put them in my space, then take them out when you get home."

Fang Lingchu thought about it and it seemed like that was a possibility, but...
[Wouldn't it be wrong to do this, since this is all embezzled money?]

The system nonchalantly replied, "When you take them to find those things later, it's okay to secretly take some for yourself. Besides, I didn't ask you to take any money; I just want you to take some things that are useful to you."

Fang Lingchu thought about it again and realized that since she didn't want the money, how could it be considered stolen money?
【Great! Guagua, you're so smart! When we get anything good, make sure my dad, mom, older brother, older sister, and Lin Wanrou take it all. Most of the spoils of war are probably someone else's treasure, right? The emperor's short of money, and I don't want his money, so I shouldn't be considered a corrupt official!】

Fang Lingchu comforted herself, then got into the carriage and headed to the Song residence.

Happy May Day! Any new treasures? Thank you to all my readers who have been with me all this time. Because of your support, I can keep going. Love you all!
