Quick Wear: I Fulfill the Wish of Cannon Fodder

The night was as dark as ink, and moonlight streamed down upon the earth like water. The prefect of Jingzhao, accompanied by three officials on duty, had been waiting for a long time. Seeing the Duke of E approaching majestically on his tall horse, he quickly knelt on his knees and bowed his head in greeting.

"I am Cheng Dulin, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. I am here to respectfully welcome Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess and the Duke of E!" Cheng Dulin's voice was loud and respectful.

When the carriage slowly stopped, a clever little eunuch quickly jumped out and deftly placed a small and exquisite wooden ladder so that Su Lan could get off safely.

Su Lan gracefully stepped out of the carriage, put her feet firmly on the ground, and said softly, "Master Cheng, please get up quickly. It is almost midnight now, and time is running out. It is best for us to go to court as soon as possible to try the case."

"In compliance with the princess's order, please follow me and the Duke to the main hall." Cheng Dulin quickly stood up, carefully brushed off the dust on his knees, and then led the way.

Su Lan, with his hands behind his back, walked calmly in the center of the team; Ye Geng followed closely behind him with a serious and solemn expression; further behind him were several mighty and majestic guards wearing long swords, who followed closely and remained vigilant at all times.

Entering the main hall of Jingzhao Prefecture, I saw several rows of secret guards tied up with ropes kneeling on the ground in an orderly manner.

These secret guards all had resolute faces and firm eyes, as if they were ready to die. No matter how they were interrogated, they always gritted their teeth and refused to reveal a single word about the mastermind behind the scenes.

Because their jaws were removed, these people had no control over the secretion of their own saliva, and the saliva flowed out from the corners of their mouths like a flood.

When Su Lan stepped into the room, she saw this scene and couldn't help but frown. Cheng Dulin, who was standing by, saw this and quickly ordered the detectives to come forward and wipe the saliva from the mouths of these people to avoid polluting the eyes of the princess.

At this moment, Cheng Dulin sat at the main seat. As the presiding judge of this case, his expression was serious and solemn. Su Lan and Ye Geng sat quietly to the side.

"Your Highness, I have just asked them about this, but no matter how much we threatened or bribed them, they never revealed any information about the mastermind behind this." Cheng Dulin reported the situation to Su Lan with a serious face, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness and anxiety.

"It's okay," Su Lan stood up and walked around in front of the secret guards in front, taking the opportunity to insert the truth talisman. A light flashed in the eyes of several people and then disappeared.

Su Lan curled her lips into a smile and calmly asked, "Who sent you to the Duke's Mansion? Tell the truth."

"It's Gu Yan, Master Gu, he is our master"

Cheng Dulin was surprised when the originally quiet secret guard spoke. It was only when Su Lan reminded him to summon Gu Yan and Ye Chuxue that he realized and sent someone to invite them.

The male and female protagonists, who were still being affectionate in the palace, were about to do something when they were interrupted by the housekeeper's hurried knock on the door.

"Master, the government has come. Please come with your wife to deal with something."

"I understand. You go down first." Gu Yan looked unhappy when he was interrupted. He thought that the matter should be settled, so he could let Xue'er see the bodies of her parents and sister.

After all, she is the only young lady still alive in such a big Duke's Mansion, and the family property should be inherited by Ye Chuxue.

Gu Yan had a beautiful thought, but he was trying to comfort the lovely girl in his arms, "Baby, it's okay, the people I sent are all sensible."

"Okay, Gu Lang, get up quickly. I'll help you get dressed. Let's go quickly so we don't keep the adults waiting."

Ye Chuxue looked understanding, her hands moving non-stop, but in her heart she was wondering if her family members were still alive. If anything happened to them, they deserved it, after all, they had offended the future queen.

The two of them hesitated for a long time before getting on the carriage prepared by the butler. On the way, Ye Chuxue also asked Gu Yan whether the people he sent out had come back to report the situation.

Gu Yan thought that he would be gone for a while after doing something like this, so he comforted her that it was okay, and the two of them chatted until they arrived at Jingzhao Prefecture.

This was what they saw when a minor official respectfully invited them to the main hall.

Cheng Dulin with a righteous face, Su Lan leisurely drinking tea, Ye Geng with a sullen face, and the secret guards kneeling on the ground.

Gu Yan's heart skipped a beat. These losers actually messed up the matter but didn't commit suicide. How were his grandfather's people trained? Judging from their posture, they would probably reveal themselves.

He was filled with emotions but couldn't show them on his face. He supported Ye Chuxue, who was also agitated, and saluted Su Lan and Ye Geng.

"Your Highness the Crown Princess is safe and sound, and the people of E are safe," they said in unison.

Su Lan did not ask them to stand up, but signaled Cheng Dulin that he could begin the trial.

After receiving the princess's order, Cheng Dulin slammed the gavel and said to Gu Yan, "Gu Yan, you must admit your guilt. You actually sent a group of assassins to assassinate your future father-in-law's family."

Gu Yan, who was still kneeling in front of Su Lan, stood up and retorted, "Your Excellency, I have never done such a wicked thing."

After saying this, he glared at the secret guards on the ground and began to intimidate them, "How dare you accuse me of anything?"

Su Lan moved her small hand, and a trace of spiritual power activated the truth talismans on the secret guards, and they told Gu Yan everything one by one.

One of the more straightforward ones even told about Gu Yan's stay in the brothel, but was killed by Gu Yan's knife halfway through his speech.

"Catch him," Cheng Dulin watched Gu Yan snatch the knife from the princess's guard and kill the witness, fearing that he would go crazy and hurt the princess.

Gu Yan, who had no martial arts skills, was quickly captured by the police. He was still shouting "Kill them all", which must have been due to the stimulation.

Su Lan rushed forward and knocked the man unconscious with a knife. He said to Cheng Dulin, "The evidence is irrefutable. Lord Cheng, please judge."

"No, no," Ye Chuxue, who had been maintaining a saluting posture, shouted. She rushed to Ye Geng and grabbed his wide sleeves, begging him.

"Dad, please let them release Gu Lang, he is your son-in-law"

Ye Geng pulled her hand away and asked coldly, "Did you participate in this matter?"

"I, I didn't. I'm sorry, Dad. It was all my fault that I didn't stop him. But you're all fine, and you're not hurt. Please forgive Gu Lang."

Ye Chuxue was extremely devastated. How could things have happened to this point? She cried and begged Ye Geng, her words incoherent.

Ye Geng clasped his fists towards the prefect of Jingzhao, hoping that he would handle the matter impartially.

Cheng Dulin glanced at the unconscious Gu Yan and wrote on the memorial, "Prince Gu has disregarded human ethics and sent assassins to assassinate the entire Duke of E's mansion. He is now stripped of his title of Crown Prince and imprisoned in Jingzhao Prefecture."

"Your Highness, I will inform Your Majesty and add other charges. Is this possible?"

Cheng Dulin looked at Su Lan cautiously, and saw her nod slightly, and the matter was over.

Ye Geng also said goodbye to Su Lan and left in big strides. He didn't want to care about his little daughter who was still crying. He wanted to go back to the house to prepare and inform the elders of the clan tomorrow to expel Ye Chuxue, the evil creature.

After the detectives took Gu Yan and the secret guards away, Ye Chuxue finally fainted on the ground crying.

Suddenly, a blue light flashed in her mind. The system fragments struggled desperately, using up their last energy to bring back Ye Chuxue, who had already taken the position of queen in her second life.

Tuanzi also told Su Lan that the fragment was completely disconnected from the main body and could be recovered.

Before leaving, Su Lan walked over to the unconscious Ye Chuxue and squatted down. He gently stroked her hair with his right hand, and with a move of his spiritual sense, he took out the system fragments in her mind and handed it to Tuanzi to keep.

"Great, this fake heroine is finished." Tuanzi put Su Lan's report and the system fragments together, and sent them back to the quick-travel bureau.

To outsiders, it looked like she just touched Ye Chuxue's hair.

"Master Cheng, please send someone to send the former prince's consort back to the palace."

After Su Lan finished speaking, she stood up and left. The guards hurriedly followed, ready to escort the princess back to the East Palace.

"I obey your command." Cheng Dulin sent Su Lan to the gate before asking two maids to send Ye Chuxue to the palace.

When the maids walked over to Ye Chuxue and prepared to help her up, Ye Chuxue opened her eyes, with the air of a superior, pushed the two people away, and slowly stood up.

"Where is this, and why am I here?"

One of the maids stepped forward and replied, "Miss Ye, this is Jingzhao Prefecture. Lord Cheng asked me to take you back to the palace."

"The palace?" Ye Chuxue had not yet fully accepted the memories of this life, and her head was dizzy. She felt like she had lost something very important.

"Please send me back first." She could only find a place to rest and sort out her memories.

The two bewildered maids carefully helped her to the palace carriage at the door and accompanied her back.

It was already midnight when Su Lan returned to the East Palace. She asked Tuanzi and Jin Ling to help keep an eye on Ye Chuxue. She was going to sleep because she had to attend the morning court the next day.
