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

Chapter 79 The Arrival of Lin Wanrou
Crown Prince: It's not just that I have doubts and suspicions, but why did Chu Chu also have this thought? He's a little sad, what should I do?

If Fang Lingchu knew what the Crown Prince was thinking, she would definitely give him a hard time.

What time is it now? Is this the time to be thinking about this? Ah! No wonder I'm love-struck.

The system offered a somewhat helpless explanation, fearing that Fang Lingchu might not take the rescue seriously.

The Crown Prince is the next emperor, and also a supporting male character. He survives until later in the story and even severely injures the male lead when he goes mad; he's very important, even more important than his father.

Fang Lingchu thought about it and agreed, then said, "Besides the medicine man, is there anything else?"

The system, seeing them still standing at the city gate, said: "[The plot-driven death is about to begin. Are you sure you want to stand here and let the drug-using people slaughter the civilians?]"

Fang Lingchu then realized that it was a little awkward that she had come to see the Crown Prince and had just stood in front of him without saying a word!
"Your Highness, are you planning to leave the city?"

The Crown Prince looked at Fang Lingchu, nodded, and said, "I was thinking about Wang Dagou's matter, so I wanted to go back and ask him about it."

This reason is quite reasonable; otherwise, what excuse would one use to say that they are going home so late?

Just then, Gu Wangyan rode over on horseback. Seeing Fang Lingchu, he asked, "Is the princess also preparing to go back?"

Fang Lingchu looked at Gu Wangyan, who was riding a big horse, wearing golden armor, with a knife at his waist, his hair tied up, and asking her questions with a serious expression.

He instantly captured her heart; he was so handsome.

The system was instantly captivated by Gu Wangyan's appearance.

The Crown Prince, oblivious to Fang Lingchu's gaze, looked at Gu Wangyan and asked, "General Gu, are you also going back?"

Upon hearing the Crown Prince's voice, Fang Lingchu bitterly despised herself.

[At a time like this, to still be obsessed with male beauty is going too far.]

The system chimed in, "[It's not your fault, host. It's all Gu Wangyan's fault. What kind of time is this to be dressing so flamboyantly to seduce you?]"

Gu Wangyan: He was wearing golden armor and holding a big sword. Where was he being flashy or seductive?

The Crown Prince looked at Gu Wangyan with a resentful expression, his eyes filled with unhappiness.

Fang Lingchu didn't respond to the system's suggestion, but smiled and said, "Since the Crown Prince and General Gu have both gone back, let's go back together."

At this moment, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review also arrived.

Upon seeing the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, Fang Lingchu immediately went over and asked, "Is Lord Lin also going back?"

Fang Lingchu was somewhat reluctant for Lin Hao to return to life, after all, she hadn't finished dealing with the matter of her fiefdom yet!
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, there are still many cases to be handled in your fiefdom, and the matter of the fake princess also needs to be investigated. Therefore, I will not return for the time being. I will stay here to deal with these matters before going back."

Upon hearing that the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review had stayed behind, Fang Lingchu breathed a slight sigh of relief and then said, "Then I'll trouble you, Lord Lin, to stay and handle this. If possible, you can have Zhang Boren learn from you while you're handling this, as well as Miss Qin and Miss Yang from Yang's Cloth Shop. Yu Meiren can also be used. Please take good care of these people. I'll handle this as soon as I'm done with my work."

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review knew that Fang Lingchu was planning to use female officials in her own fiefdom, so he didn't say anything.

However, after thinking for a moment, he said, "Alright, I will take good care of them in place of the princess, but this Miss Lin..."

Before Fang Lingchu could speak, the system excitedly said, "[Host, host, take Lin Wanrou away. Some of her luck has returned; it might be useful for our next operation.]"

Lin Wanrou came because she heard that she and Long Chenfeng had put the Dragon Kingdom in danger, so she wanted to come and see if she could help.

After all, she is the female lead, and luck seems to be very useful to Fang Lingchu.

Upon hearing the system's words, Fang Lingchu asked, "Miss Lin, would you be willing to come with me?"

Lin Wanrou looked at Fang Lingchu excitedly, nodded and said, "This commoner is willing, willing to follow the princess, even as a slave." Hearing her say this, Fang Lingchu shook her head and said, "Why would you want to be a slave? Miss Lin is very talented, it would be my honor to have Miss Lin with me."

Hearing Fang Lingchu's words, the system asked in confusion: "[The female lead doesn't have much talent; she's just a pampered wife.]"

Fang Lingchu didn't want to discuss this with the system right now, so she didn't respond.

Lin Wanrou was surprised that Fang Lingchu thought so highly of her, and said shyly, "Your Highness is too kind."

The system, looking at the countdown, said: "Host, we have one hour left. Have you decided where to resolve the plot-related death?"

Fang Lingchu led Lin Wanrou to the Crown Prince's carriage and then said to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, since Sister Lin and I are girls, please lend us the carriage. Would you like to ride a horse?"

The prince gave a sour reply and mounted his horse.

Standing guard on either side of the carriage, the Crown Prince and Gu Wangyan were like two guardian deities.

[System, show me the map of the surrounding area.]

The system quickly opened the panel, allowing Fang Lingchu to see the nearby roads.

The path she had to take was one that would neither offend the Crown Prince nor arouse their suspicion, yet still allow her to achieve her goals.

The system said: "Host, there are only two paths here, one official road and one side road. Should we take the official road since we're riding a horse or carriage?"

Fang Lingchu glanced at it, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, let's stop here in this dense forest. It's not far from the capital, but it's not very close either. We can use this time to ask for help."

Upon hearing Fang Lingchu's words, the system asked curiously, "[Host, it's late at night, everyone's asleep. Who are you going to ask for help? Also, the city gates are closed at this hour. How are you going to get in?]"

The others who heard Fang Lingchu's words had the same thought.

Although there was no citywide curfew in the Dragon Kingdom during this era, people didn't go out much at night.

Fang Lingchu didn't want to explain to this stupid system, but after thinking about it, she still said...

"Are you stupid? My Shadow Legion can move freely in the darkness. For them, appearing anywhere at night is a piece of cake. Besides, didn't I take them to the palace? We can use my jade token to give to the emperor and have him send men to rescue his son."

The system thought about it and agreed, after all, her Shadow Legion was practically omnipotent.

The Crown Prince and Gu Wangyan hadn't expected Fang Lingchu to be so thoughtful.

After all, they are now a depleted force, having just survived an assassination attempt. The remaining men are exhausted, and some were injured and unable to come.

Aside from the ten people and four maids around Fang Lingchu, there was only Gu Wangyan, whose combat power was off the charts, and the Crown Prince and the Imperial Guards who hadn't participated in the battle.

The Imperial Guards were not as powerful as the Secret Guards, and Gu Wangyan's army could not be mobilized at will.

The best course of action now is to seek help from the emperor.

Everyone already knew the plan, and they were all conserving their energy, preparing for the next battle.

But just halfway there, the system suddenly said: [Host, be careful.]

Fang Lingchu looked around warily and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

The system said somewhat seriously: [A hidden storyline has been triggered again.]
