System: [No, no, no. Ah Ruan, you misunderstood me. I meant that the descendants of the concubines all had bad lives, not that they all had bad morals.]

Qi Kuan and the princesses all breathed a sigh of relief, but soon became worried again.

Yuanruan: [How come everyone is having a hard time? ]

System: [Because the men in the Three Princes’ Palace are too stupid and too trashy.]

The eldest princess and others paused, and glanced at Qi Kuan vaguely.

Qi Kuan:?

Yuanruan: [How do you say that? ]

System: [For example, the Third Prince. Qi Menglong tried to win over the Third Prince privately, but after the Third Prince refused, he tried to turn against the other party alone. Qi Menglong saw that he failed to win over the Third Prince and was exposed, so he cruelly killed the Third Prince.]

Qi Kuan and his group: !!!

Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched slightly: [Outrageous, alone? Does the Third Prince think he is so brave and has the face fruit? ]

System: [Ah, anyway, after the Third Prince died, the Concubine Dowager was so angry that she fell ill and passed out, and the Third Prince's two sons immediately started to make trouble like wild horses. They were unwilling to be subordinate to Qi Kuan, and they were jealous that he could shoulder two branches, so they took the initiative to contact other princes, hoping to get the credit of following the dragon.]

Yuan Ruan: [I am really too well protected by the concubine. I have such naive ideas. 】

System: [Yes. They even brazenly said that they would follow the example of the Concubine Dowager and shout orders for the people in the Huainan Palace. But who is your brother? You are an expert at rebellion and usurpation of the throne!]

The two princesses had subtle expressions.

Yuan Ruan coughed lightly: [My brother's succession was considered normal, Tonger, please don't label him randomly.]

System: [Right, right, right. Anyway, your brother is very capable. After discovering this situation, he took advantage of the situation and deliberately set a trap. So before the two princes could even give orders, your brother took the initiative to deal with the uprising. Afterwards, one of the two princes died and the other fled, and the three princes' palaces were also ransacked.]

Qi Kuan's pupils shrank.

Yuan Ruan: [The princesses of the three royal palaces. ]

System: [Of course it's miserable. Ah Ruan, you've read Dream of the Red Chamber, right? When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. The man made a mistake, and the women were implicated... Fortunately, Qi Kuan remembered the favor and was able to take the responsibility. He crawled to the door with his weak body and took the initiative to ask for an audience with His Majesty, and exchanged all the remaining titles and rights to ensure the safety of all the women.]

Yuan Ruan was also very moved when he heard this: [As expected of a man favored by the concubine, he is quite courageous. ]

Cheng Weining patted his shoulder gently, his eyes full of affirmation.

The eldest princess and the second princess also looked at Qi Kuan in surprise.

The second princess thought that although Qi Kuan was a little unromantic, he had good character and could be introduced to her best friend.

System: [He is very brave! Ah Ruan, do you know that when he was betrayed by the third prince's second son, captured by Qi Menglong, tortured and forced to confess, his lower body was completely paralyzed, but he did not reveal a single secret.]

Yuan Ruan was stunned: [Hiss, so miserable? It seems that he is really destined to be alone. ]

System: [Uh... He did not marry for more than ten years, but... he actually got a wife later. ]

Yuanruan: [Ah? Who?]

Qi Kuan was not interested in his own gossip. He was worried that a long period of silence would attract Qi Menglong's attention, so he said, "The Ninth Princess is sleepy. I will go first."

The eldest and second princesses couldn't bear to hear such gossip, so they followed subconsciously: "Hey, send it off, I really can't bear to leave the little princess."

Cheng Weining followed because he was worried about the second princess' health.

When Qi Menglong wanted to take the opportunity to catch up, he was stopped by Cheng Weining's friend who was holding a wine glass.

Seeing that he had no chance to get close to Yuanruan, Qi Menglong decided to catch the fish that swam towards him first, rather than just sticking close to him and being rejected. This way, his trip today would not be in vain.

Thinking of this, Qi Menglong took the wine glass and gave a shy smile to Cheng Weining's friend.

……

Here, Yuan Ruan and his group have already boarded the boat back to shore.

At this time, the system also gave an answer that shocked everyone.

System: [Far away in the horizon, yet close at hand. ]

Everyone eating melons: ???

Yuan Ruan was confused: [But the eldest princess and the second princess both have prince consorts. Could it be that one of the prince consorts died? Did Qi Kuan take over the throne for the second time? ]

Cheng Weining suddenly stared at Qi Kuan.

Qi Kuan: ...

System: [Take a look at the side. Isn't there a small boat lying under the tree next to it? The eldest princess's sister. At that time, there were many royal relatives involved in the case of the Huainan King's rebellion. Other court officials did not dare to touch these relatives. Qi Kuan was disabled at the time. In order to rescue all the princesses in his own mansion, he volunteered to work for the emperor. The first case he handled was to thoroughly investigate whether the eldest princess's husband had colluded with the Huainan King. In the end, the eldest princess's husband was found to have problems and was sent to prison by Qi Kuan.]

Yuanruan: [Ah? These two... they have a grudge against each other. Why are they together? ]

System: [This story starts from the Grand Princess's Mansion. The Grand Princess disliked the Grand Consort's affair, and the two of them had a bad relationship, so they had long ago separated. The Grand Consort's sister particularly liked the Grand Princess, so after the Grand Princess and the Grand Consort separated, she packed up her bags and often went to see the Grand Princess. The relationship between the two became better and better, and they were like sisters.]

System: [The eldest princess is a staunch royalist. Ever since she found out that her husband was having an affair with Qi Menglong, she took the initiative to find the husband's sister, hoping that she could cooperate in investigating the evidence. The eldest husband's sister readily agreed. So the eldest husband was exposed so quickly, which was inseparable from the eldest husband's sister's determination to kill her own relatives for the sake of justice.]

Yuanruan: [Ah?]

Spectators: ???

System: [When the eldest consort's sister was cooperating with the investigation, she encountered danger once, but Qi Kuan risked his life to save her, so she became a little concerned about Qi Kuan. Later, she learned that Qi Kuan never visited prostitutes before he became paralyzed, and never took concubines or kept mistresses. The eldest consort's sister paid more attention to Qi Kuan, and the two gradually became close friends. At this time, someone who was interested in the eldest consort's sister deliberately mocked Qi Kuan, mocking him for being a paralyzed waste, mocking him for being a toad wanting to eat swan meat, etc. The eldest consort's sister couldn't stand it anymore, and in excitement she directly announced that she and Qi Kuan were in love. ]

Yuanruan: [Ah? Qi Kuan also agreed? ]

System: [Qi Kuan certainly disagreed, he didn't want to drag others down. But the eldest prince's sister was stubborn. Qi Kuan disagreed, but she became more eager to conquer him. And the eldest prince's sister was very generous. For example, Qi Kuan hid in the brothel to avoid her. If it were another girl, she would definitely be heartbroken, but the eldest prince's sister didn't... She thought Qi Kuan's behavior was very interesting, and felt that he was playing with her. So she took out all her pocket money to book the brothel, and then changed into the clothes of the courtesan and lay next to Qi Kuan, which scared Qi Kuan so much that his face turned pale...]

Yuanruan: [Puff! Absolutely amazing.]

The eldest princess clenched her fists and suddenly wanted to beat Qi Kuan up.

Qi Kuan was made uncomfortable by the system's revelations and could hardly keep his composure.

Unable to wait for the boat to dock, Qi Kuan carried Yuan Ruan in his arms, strode ashore, and quickly headed for the mansion.

On the one hand, it is to avoid embarrassment, and on the other hand, the melon... ahem, part of the melon has to be informed to the higher-ups.
