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

Chapter 131 The plot continues
Yu Shuang understood Fang Lingchu's meaning and directly pried open the Crown Prince's jawbone. With a snap, the Crown Prince's mouth opened.

Fang Lingchu was stunned to see Yu Shuang like this.

However, they quickly put the food into the prince's mouth.

Yu Shuang then snapped the prince's mouth shut again.

Then they opened it again to see if the prince had swallowed the contents.

Not seeing the Crown Prince's Adam's apple move, she took out a pair of chopsticks from somewhere, opened the Crown Prince's throat, and said to Gu Wangyan, "General Gu, fetch me some water."

Fang Lingchu and Gu Wangyan were both startled by the girl's bold actions.

However, Gu Wangyan quickly came to his senses and fetched water for her.

Then Yu Shuang poured water down the chopsticks. The Crown Prince must have been in pain and choked by the water, so he instinctively swallowed it.

Yu Shuang and Gu Wangyan both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the Crown Prince had drunk it.

Upon seeing this, Fang Lingchu couldn't help but say to the system, "Guagua, I thought at least we'd have to feed it mouth-to-mouth. I didn't expect Yu Shuang to have this skill!"

The system was somewhat speechless, then said: [Host, you didn't tell them that the leaf melts in your mouth and it doesn't really matter whether you swallow it or not, right? But it's good this way, the Crown Prince is aware of it now.]

Yu Shuang was shocked and her hands began to tremble: Would His Highness the Crown Prince punish her for disrespecting the Crown Prince if he woke up?
Waaah, she didn't know! She just meant well, wanting His Highness the Crown Prince to drink it!
She didn't do it on purpose. I hope the Crown Prince won't stop her from taking the martial arts exam when he finds out!
Realizing this, Yu Shuang immediately left the Crown Prince's side and placed him in Gu Wangyan's arms.

Then, nervously, he stayed with Fang Lingchu, pretending that he hadn't been the one doing those things.

Gu Wangyan looked at the Crown Prince lying in his arms, and then at Yu Shuang behind Fang Lingchu.

Okay, he knows what's going on.

Fang Lingchu paid no attention to their little tricks.

After killing all the rebels, Fang Lingchu said to Yu Shuang, "Miss Yu, why don't you go and clean up the battlefield and see if you can find anything, especially the one who poisoned the Crown Prince?"

Yu Shuang nodded and immediately ran away.

Gu Wangyan carried the Crown Prince to a safe and clean place, and Fang Lingchu brought over their cloaks and spread them on the ground.

Gu Wangyan had just laid the crown prince down when he went to find some firewood to start a fire.

Outside the cave, the Crown Prince's men, Gu Wangyan's men, and the Fang family's men searched frantically but couldn't find them.

The emperor, despite his frail health, presided over the overall situation, with the empress taking care of him.

Apart from a few trusted people, no one knew that the emperor had also been poisoned.

However, everyone had more or less guessed that the emperor might have some health problems.

However, most people know that the emperor has the antidote pill given by Fang Lingchu in his body, so nothing bad is likely to happen.

However, those families with princes began to stir with ambition.

After all, everyone has been gone for a day.

Qin family.

Young Master Qin's room.

Several people who usually don't speak much and have a low profile in the court have now appeared at Prime Minister Qin's house.

These people are not qualified to hear Fang Lingchu's true feelings.

Only the people of the Dragon Kingdom can hear Fang Lingchu's innermost thoughts.

Official 1: "Young Master, His Highness the Crown Prince has been missing for a day. Shall we begin our operation?"

Official 2: "And the emperor seems to be in poor health, this is an opportunity."

Official 3: "But apart from his pale complexion, the emperor seems fine, and with the empress's help, we..."

Another interrupted him, saying, "If we don't act now, it will be even more difficult to do so later. Gu Wangyan seems to have disappeared as well, and the Gu family army is also looking for him. The Dragon Kingdom is definitely at its weakest right now, so it's the perfect time for us to make our move."

……

Young Master Qin listened to their remarks without saying a word. The group almost came to blows during their discussion.

Young Master Qin looked over with a cold gaze.

Only then did everyone stop.

One person couldn't help but speak a phrase in their hometown dialect.

The people watching them from the outside were completely unfamiliar with the language.

Dark 18 left the Butterfly Guards to watch over the area, while their men went to find the Emperor.

Recently, the emperor has been quite nervous, and some of those who followed Fang Lingchu have returned to the emperor's side.

However, the four maids that the emperor gave to Fang Lingchu were not there; they were going to find their mistress.

royal palace.

The emperor's complexion had improved considerably.

I'm still a bit weak, but I can get up and handle things.

However, he still told others that he was not in good health.

Hearing the guards' words, the emperor's eyes turned cold, like a tiger poised to devour someone at any moment.

"Continue to observe, and if anything happens, protect the Fang family."

The guards went down after receiving the order.

At this moment, the Empress brought in a bowl of chicken soup. Seeing that the Emperor was still reading memorials, she smiled and said, "Still reading? Don't you care about your health?"

When the emperor saw the empress arrive, he put down what he was holding, embraced her, and comforted her, saying, "With Chuchu here, the crown prince will be alright."

The emperor, seeing the empress's pale face, knew it must be because of the crown prince.

On this day, all of her personal guards were mobilized, and the emperor witnessed it all.

The Empress knew this, but she still couldn't help worrying.

“I’m not only worried about the Crown Prince, but also about Yan’er and Lord Fang. I heard that Madam Fang fell ill after hearing that her daughter was missing. I…”

Knowing the Empress's worries, the Emperor patted her hand and said, "They are blessed with good fortune and nothing will happen to them. Tomorrow, you will go out of the palace to comfort Minister Fang's wife."

The emperor nodded, then picked up the chicken soup and offered it to the empress.

All they can do now is wait and prepare for the worst.

Even after taking the medicine given by Fang Lingchu, the Crown Prince still showed no signs of waking up.

Gu Wangyan looked at the Crown Prince, whose eyes were tightly closed, and asked, "A whole night has passed, why hasn't Your Highness woken up yet?"

Fang Lingchu was also a little worried and asked the system, "Guagua, what's going on? Why hasn't the Crown Prince woken up yet?"

The system sighed and said, "Host, His Highness the Crown Prince's plot-driven death lasts for two days. What he's experiencing now is normal. Otherwise, who knows what you'd encounter if he woke up."

Fang Lingchu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the system say that, and then said to Gu Wangyan, "It's okay, the Crown Prince is just too tired and has fallen asleep. He'll be fine tomorrow."

After all, he was poisoned, and this kind of poison is quite harmful to the body.

Neither Fang Lingchu nor Gu Wangyan raised any objections to Fang Lingchu's explanation.

After all, they had overheard Fang Lingchu's conversation with that gossip. If the Crown Prince was going to wake up and cause them trouble, then it would be better if he didn't wake up!

Especially Gu Wangyan, he knows all too well the power of plot-driven deaths.

Just as the group breathed a sigh of relief, the prince's eyelashes trembled.

The system emitted a notification sound.

[The key figure has awakened; the plot-driven death continues.]
