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

Chapter 137 Gaining a Little Fan
Throughout her life, she had encountered many royal nobles, all of whom were aloof and untouchable.

She thought Fang Lingchu would be the same, but when she first met her, she found that this princess who was favored by the emperor seemed quite nice, at least not so annoying.

On their second meeting, she revealed her identity, praised her talents, and said that women should have their own world. She was filled with gratitude.

As they spent more time together, she felt that she was a bit like a willful and timid but also very smart girl. Now, looking at the person carefully treating her wounds, she became even more determined in her mind.

If she had the opportunity to serve in the imperial court, she would do her utmost to help Fang Lingchu realize her ambitions.

Fang Lingchu: Thank you, no need. She has no ambition; everything she did was out of necessity.

Unfortunately, Fang Lingchu was unaware of Yu Shuang's thoughts. After spending only a few days together, she had already gained a devoted fan.

Fang Lingchu felt extremely distressed looking at Yu Shuang's injuries.

"What if these injuries leave scars? When we get back to the capital, give me your address and I'll send you a box of scar removal cream."

Yu Shuang tugged at her clothes and refused, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Princess, but you have already helped me so much. The scar removal cream is too expensive; I cannot accept it."

Fang Lingchu didn't care whether she wanted it or not; she didn't want her beautiful older sister to feel inferior because of this.

"If you don't want mine, then let the Crown Prince give it to you. Most of your injuries were sustained because of the Crown Prince."

The system suddenly said: [Host, you should say that all of your injuries were for the sake of the Crown Prince.]

Fang Lingchu thought about it and it seemed to be true. If it weren't for the Crown Prince's plot-driven death, how could they have been drawn into the villain's territory and gotten injured?

[Guagua, you're right. I'll go ask the Crown Prince what he plans to reward us with, and I'll ask Miss Yu Shuang for some scar removal cream.]

Fang Lingchu's scar removal cream was also a gift from the Crown Prince, Gu Wangyan, and the Emperor.

Gu Wangyan's gifts were quite nice, including hibiscus cream.

The system also strongly supports its host in requesting things.

[Host, go! We can't let the Crown Prince benefit from this.]

Fang Lingchu treated Yu Shuang's wounds and helped her get dressed.

As she was about to leave, Yu Shuang stopped her, picked up the medicine, took her hand, and said, "Princess, you are injured too."

Fang Lingchu looked at the small wound, which would heal in a little while.

"this……."

Yu Shuang ignored her gaze and lowered her head to treat the injury on her hand.

At the same time, large tears fell from her eyes and landed on Fang Lingchu's hand.

Every tear seemed to carry warmth, so hot that Fang Lingchu wanted to pull her hand back.

"Miss Yu, why are you crying? Is your wound hurting? My hand is fine, it's just a minor injury, please don't cry!"

Fang Lingchu was really anxious. She didn't usually interact with older girls much. Apart from her older sister and Lin Wanrou, she had only recently met the other girls and hadn't had a chance to get to know them yet!
This was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and she didn't know what to do.

[Guagua, what should I do? She's crying! She's crying! What should I do?!]

The system was also surprised that Yu Shuang actually cried.

[I don't know either! Host, I have no experience comforting girls.]

Yu Shuang raised her small, palm-sized face, her face streaked with tears, but a smile played on her lips.

"I'm fine, Princess. I'm just happy, very happy to have met you."

She was also very happy to receive the princess's recognition and care. She thought she would always be this way, and then revive her family. She never expected to meet such a good person by chance.

Fang Lingchu hurriedly wiped away her tears, comforting her as she did so: "It's okay, you'll definitely meet more people who treat you well in the future. When you find a husband with good character, have a pair of lovely children, you can work hard outside while your husband takes care of the housework at home. You'll definitely live a very happy life."

Please don't cry. Don't worry, if you want someone who loves you, you will find someone.

Fang Lingchu really wanted to say, "You are a girl from the Hua family. Although the Hua family no longer exists, as long as you are here, it will always be here."

Unfortunately, this matter hasn't been told to the emperor yet; she can't tell him!
Yu Shuang started crying and then laughed, laughing very happily.

"Thank you, Princess. I will definitely be happy, and I will also carry on the family's legacy."

In fact, Yu Shuang had always known that she was a descendant of the Hua family, but she didn't know how to make others believe it.

So she planned to use her own methods to bring the Hua family back into the public eye, but unexpectedly, because of Fang Lingchu, all her plans became unnecessary.

Fang Lingchu hugged the girl who had suffered a lot in the first half of her life. She was about the same age as her sister, but she would have to bear even more burdens in the future.

Yu Shuang hugged her.

The two girls were embracing each other affectionately, while Gu Wangyan and the Crown Prince were tending to their wounds outside.

I also need to know the current situation of the palace.

"After we disappeared, did those people do anything?"

Gu Wangyan's men knelt down and replied, "I'm sorry, General. We were so anxious to find you when you went missing that we didn't notice the unusual activity in the capital. However, we heard that someone suggested that if the Crown Prince doesn't return, the Third Prince should be made Crown Prince."

Feng glanced at the Crown Prince and, seeing that the other party did not seem to blame him, continued, "His Majesty said he would consider it, and then someone suggested establishing the eldest prince. Anyway, the Crown Prince has been missing for five days, and most of the ministers have been discussing this issue."

The Crown Prince sneered and said, "They probably just want me dead! That way they can interfere in the matter of establishing Chu!"

No one dared to respond to that question, and Gu Wangyan pretended not to hear it, continuing to ask, "How is His Majesty's health?"

Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know. On the third day after you disappeared, some things happened in the military camp. Yue and Xue went to deal with it, and Hua and I came here to find you. I don't know about the others."

Gu Wangyan nodded and continued to ask, "How far is it from here to the capital?"

Feng replied, "It will take us two days to arrive even if we ride at full speed."

Gu Wangyan nodded to indicate that he understood, and then told Feng to go and take care of his own business.

Gu Wangyan looked at the Crown Prince and asked, "Should we go back immediately?"

The crown prince sneered and said, "No rush. Let's find a place to have a proper meal and rest. We're two grown men, so it's fine, but..."

At this point, the Crown Prince glanced in Fang Lingchu's direction, clearly wanting to take care of her mental well-being.

Gu Wangyan glanced in that direction, put the hand he had just held behind Fang Lingchu's back, and said, "Okay."

Then send someone to find the nearest village or town.

Soon the wind returned.

Your Highness, and the General: "There is a village 500 meters ahead. Should we send someone to make contact with them?"

Just then, Fang Lingchu arrived and, upon hearing Feng's words, said, "No need. You go and check if there's any danger. We'll handle the rest ourselves."
