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

Chapter 37 The Young General's Death Date

Fang Lingchu looked at the Crown Prince and said, "I know, I just wanted to take her to the Ministry of Agriculture to look at the relevant information first, and then recommend her to His Majesty. But I want to go to the Ministry of Revenue now, and take her with me."

Both Ma Caidie and the Crown Prince were embarrassed by her explanation.

The system was also confused by Fang Lingchu and asked, "Didn't you want to take Ma Caidie to see His Majesty right now?"

Fang Lingchu, somewhat bewildered by the system's question, retorted: "Why would I take her to see His Majesty now? I'm taking the day off! I don't have to go to work, why would I go to the palace for no reason?"

Crown Prince: How could this girl be so...

Ma Caidie: Does the princess dislike going to court so much?
The system asked: "So how will you find someone to complete your daily tasks?"

Fang Lingchu smiled slyly, like a fox, and said, "I can just go to the Ministry of Revenue and find my father's subordinates. I don't necessarily have to go to the palace."

The system became even more curious and asked, "Then why did you send Ma Caidie to the Agricultural Department?"

Fang Lingchu replied, "Isn't she researching how to save Potato? Going there would provide more information and help her complete her research!"

The system thought about it and agreed, then said: "That's right! Host, you're so smart!"

Crown Prince: Actually, he had a better idea, but seeing Fang Lingchu's enthusiastic expression, he decided not to say it.

Fang Lingchu originally wanted to take Ma Caidie away, but the Crown Prince intercepted her.

"Young Master Fang, just hand Miss Ma over to me."

When the Crown Prince spoke, Fang Lingchu finally remembered that the Crown Prince was still there!
Then he handed the person over to the crown prince and went back home.

Fang Lingchu rode slowly and leisurely in the carriage along the road.

Suddenly, a pebble flew over and hit Fang Lingchu's carriage wheel with perfect accuracy.

Suddenly, Fang Lingchu's carriage came to a stop.

Raspberry sensed something was wrong and quickly came out to see what was going on.

Then they heard the coachman say, "Miss, our cart wheel is broken."

Hearing the sound, Fang Lingchu came out, glanced at it, and said, "Can it be repaired?"

The coachman said, "It can be repaired, but it might take a while, Miss, you see..."

Fang Lingchu glanced at the teahouse next door and said, "I'm going to the teahouse for tea. We'll go back later."

Then he said to Cranberry, "Go back and tell your mother that I'll be home later tonight."

Then I stepped into the White Lotus Teahouse.

Upon entering, Fang Lingchu was greeted by a handsome young man dressed in black, sitting in a wheelchair.

Fang Lingchu was instantly stunned by the man's face.

Then everyone heard Fang Lingchu's squeal like a groundhog: "Ahhh, what a handsome boy! He looks like he stepped out of a comic book! He's so good-looking!"

No matter how excited she was inside, she maintained the demeanor of a young lady from a prominent family on the surface.

The two only exchanged a few words before Fang Lingchu casually found a private room and went inside.

Once inside, Fang Lingchu immediately asked the system: "Guagua, who was that person just now? He was so handsome, but why was he in a wheelchair? Is it fashionable for people not to walk these days?"

Everyone: Is it possible that they really can't leave?

The boy next door was very surprised when he heard Fang Lingchu's words. In her eyes, was he just not disabled?

The system, equally speechless, said: "Host, is it possible that they're injured and can't walk?"

Fang Lingchu nodded and said, "Guagua, do you think if I get injured, His Majesty will let me rest and not have to attend court?"

Everyone: You're really going all out to avoid going to court.

The boy next door: Her focus is so weird. The system firmly replied: [It shouldn't be. Your Majesty seems to value you quite a bit.]

Fang Lingchu was a little unhappy when she heard what the system said, but she was quickly won over by the tea and snacks that were brought in.

After eating for a while, he asked, "By the way, who was that handsome young man in the wheelchair just now?"

The system clicked its tongue and said, "[I thought you wouldn't ask!]"

Fang Lingchu said nonchalantly, "Anyway, I'm bored, so I might as well gossip about him."

Those who can hear Fang Lingchu's true feelings are happy to have another piece of gossip to enjoy today.

The boy watching the drama remained completely unmoved; this was all part of his deliberate design.

He had heard about Fang Lingchu's special status and found out that she was off duty today and hadn't gone to court, so he waited for her here.

I wonder if I can get some information he wants to know from Fang Lingchu.

The system happily announced: "[Great, the gossip is here.]"

Gu Wangyan, 18 years old, the only son of the Grand General of the Dragon Kingdom, went to the battlefield at 12, took over the Gu family army at 14, became a war god on the frontier at 17, betrayed by his closest relatives at 18, surrounded in the Battle of Linglang, although he broke through the encirclement, he lost both legs and will be disabled for life. My God!

Fang Lingchu sighed, saying that this child's life could only be described as tragic.

Even in such dire straits, he never considered betraying His Majesty and still cared deeply for the people. He's truly remarkable.

Fang Lingchu's words made His Majesty trust Gu Wangyan, who held significant military power, more and distrust him less.

Fang Lingchu felt more and more sorry for Gu Wangyan as she looked at him. [The entire Gu family sacrificed their lives for the country. They were all great generals who guarded the frontier. Even the Gu family's daughters were all exceptionally skilled. Unexpectedly, they all died in the end. Except for Gu Wangyan, who was left in the capital, all 300-plus members of the Gu family, including servants, perished.]

"Waaaaah! They were all generals who protected us! How could this happen? Who was it? Who slaughtered the entire Gu family?"

Yes, the Gu family was killed overnight.

The system replied: "I don't know."

Fang Lingchu wiped away her tears and said, choking back sobs, "Didn't you just see General Gu? Didn't you see him?"

The system said: "Gu Wangyan was still young at the time, and he wasn't there. Of course, I didn't know anything about this while I was just watching the drama unfold."

After the system finished speaking, a notification appeared: [Mission: Prevent Gu Wangyan from dying one year later. Luck Points: 8 points.]

[Ahhh, host, Gu Wangyan has activated a destiny mission.]

Fang Lingchu, who was still crying, heard that another luck mission had appeared, so she quickly looked over.

With an incredulous look on his face, he asked, "Will Gu Wangyan die in a year?"

Everyone: General Gu died a year later?

Gu Wangyan: Does he only have a year to live?
The system replied matter-of-factly: "He was poisoned. If you hadn't saved the emperor, the Dragon Kingdom would be in chaos. It's a miracle he didn't die for a year, okay?"

Everyone was surprised again: it was Miss Fang who saved His Majesty.

Gu Wangyan: Then can he also be saved?
Fang Lingchu thought about it and agreed, then asked, "I still have an antidote pill, don't I?"

The system replied: 【That's right, but didn't you say you were going to save it for your grandmother?】

Fang Lingchu's maternal grandmother was not in good health either; it's just that old people often have some health problems.

Fang Lingchu also understood this principle, but while her grandmother's health could be examined by the imperial physicians, Gu Wangyan's health might not be so easily cured by them.

Otherwise, do you have anywhere else to complete this task?

It wasn't just about the mission; Fang Lingchu felt it would be such a pity if a general who was protecting his country died because of a conspiracy.
