Let's just drift through life together in this quick transmigration story.

At night, Xiong Bufan's stomach felt better. Under the moonlight, she got out of bed and jumped out. She realized who had poisoned her. During the day, she had eaten her usual food, except for gold ingots, which she had put in her mouth to test their authenticity. They were so hateful to harm a brown bear who loved gold and silver. They were simply inhuman.

Following the scent, Xiong Bufan quietly made his way to the Second Prince's residence, only to find that the Second Prince was not home. This led Xiong Bufan to believe that Cui Weili had fled out of fear of Xiong Bufan's retaliation, which made Xiong Bufan even angrier. He then began searching the entire city following the scent.

You should never let a grudge linger overnight, because grudges left unresolved will disrupt your sleep.

After running for about an hour, Xiong Bufan finally found the place where Cui Weili was lying. There were people lying inside and outside the house. Xiong Bufan knocked them unconscious so that they wouldn't interfere with his revenge.

With Cui Weili right in front of him, Xiong Bufan wanted to stuff the gold ingot into Cui Weili's stomach, but he was afraid that Cui Weili would suffocate because he couldn't poop it out, so he stuffed it into Cui Weili's mouth instead. He then grabbed a valuable item from the house and put it into his spatial storage, pretending that it was bought with the gold ingot.

After doing all this, Xiong Bufan left Cui Weili's residence with satisfaction, and now he could go back and get a good night's sleep.

Poor Cui Weili lay on the bed, the gold ingot blocking his throat, making it difficult to breathe. Cui Weili reached out to try to pry the thing out of his mouth, but he couldn't muster any strength. In addition, the drug on the gold ingot took effect, and Cui Weili could only struggle on the bed until he gradually lost his breath.

The servants were all knocked unconscious, and no one noticed Cui Weili's miserable state.

The next morning, Xiong Bufan and his group left the capital after breakfast. Xiong Bufan would never again use biting to determine the authenticity of gold and silver; he had really learned his lesson this time.

On the way back, we took a side road. There were many caravans. Since the Da Cai Zhai started making rouge, they no longer robbed people on the road. There were many carriages and horses on the side road, even more than on the main road.

Xiong Bufan lay dozing in the carriage when Kongkong suddenly said, "Bufan, is Cui Weili dead?"

Who is Cui Weili?

Sometimes I envy Xiong Bufan because he never remembers anything and is always happy. Kongkong explained, "The one who poisoned the gold?"

Xiong Bufan continued to doze off. That person had gotten his comeuppance; he hadn't expected it to come so quickly. Heaven had eyes, after all. But, with a gossipy nature, Xiong Bufan still couldn't resist asking, "How did he die?"

"He died from a combination of swallowing gold, poisoning, and fever."

Xiong Bufan curled his lip, "With so many ways to die, doesn't he get tired?"

Kongkong: Your mouth is as sharp as ever.

Upon hearing of Cui Weili's death, Cui Haoyu's expression turned grave again. Now that the Third Prince and the Second Prince were no longer there to protect him, the First Prince held absolute power. It was not yet time for this to be exposed to the public. This matter required careful consideration. Moreover, if someone blamed him for their deaths, it would be troublesome. He did indeed want to kill them, blaming them for arranging spies, failing to provide supplies on time, and causing his brother's tragic death. However, he would not kill them quietly. Cui Haoyu would expose their crimes, make them kneel before the graves of the fallen soldiers to confess their sins, and finally, in accordance with public opinion, kill them.

The eldest prince poured himself a glass of wine at home. His rivals were dying one by one in their own homes, and the position of crown prince was within his grasp. What could be happier than this? After eliminating the fifth and fourth princes, even if his father was unwilling, he would still pass the throne to him. Now was the time to move his hidden power into the open, so that the ministers would not be left without taking sides.

The fourth prince lived in constant fear at home. His second and third brothers, such capable men, had been inexplicably murdered in their own homes, with only his eldest brother ultimately benefiting. He wondered if it was too late for him to surrender to his eldest brother. The position was good, but his life was more important.

After figuring it out, the fourth prince summoned his advisors to discuss what gifts to give to the first prince's residence.

None of this had anything to do with Xiong Bufan. She was just an ordinary merchant who continued to live a carefree life in the mountain stronghold, running around every day and eating and sleeping when she got tired.

About half a month after Cui Weili's death, Su Beichen also received the news, but it was just an imperial edict summoning him back to the capital. There were a backlog of cases in the capital that required his return to handle.

When Su Beichen returned to the capital, he went to the mountain stronghold to say goodbye to Xiong Bufan. 002 looked at Su Beichen like he was a thief. Don't think he didn't know that every time Xiong Bufan suddenly ran out, it was to save him. He had saved him many times in the past two years, and each time he would bring back some IOUs, but these IOUs had never been honored.

Su Beichen stood in front of Xiong Bufan's courtyard: "Miss Xiong, I am returning to the capital and am passing through this place, so I came here specifically to say goodbye."

Xiong Bufan had no respect for this person who repeatedly owed money and never paid it back. He didn't even leave the house, and said lazily, "Don't bother me with anything other than paying back the money. I don't have any money."

It was a carelessness on his part that he didn't write down the return date for the money, which allowed Su Beichen to take advantage of the situation. This made Xiong Bufan very unhappy, and what made him even happier was that he couldn't take action against Su Beichen. So now, Xiong Bufan basically doesn't show his face unless Su Beichen is returning the money or if he's in danger.

002, arms crossed and a gloating expression on his face, said, "Bufan won't see you. Go back to your capital. Da Cai Zhai doesn't welcome you."

Su Beichen took out a piece of silver from his pocket and placed it at the gate of the courtyard. "Miss Xiong, I've left some of the interest at the gate for you. Take good care of yourself."

Hearing that there was money to be made, Xiong Bufan rushed out, stuffed the silver into his pocket, and asked kindly, "Are you going back to the capital? Don't forget."

002 stared nervously at Xiong Bufan, afraid that Xiong Bufan would say something he couldn't accept.

Su Beichen also looked hopeful, but Xiong Bufan continued, "Don't forget to send the money back!"

002 burst into laughter, "Hahahahahahahahahahaha!" Su Beichen blushed. Xiong Bufan gently patted 002 on the head, "Stop laughing, or you'll have to get back to work."

Su Beichen felt embarrassed for 002 and bowed, saying, "Miss Xiong, I will take my leave now. We will meet again if fate allows."

Xiong Bufan waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go. Remember to take care of yourself, don't make me keep running around."

002: You two should never see each other again. You'd better leave quickly.

Su Beichen left, and 002 stood to the side looking aggrieved. Xiong Bufan walked forward with an air of nonchalance, and 002 said, "Bufan, could you please stop hitting me in front of Su Beichen in the future?"

Xiong Bufan: "Okay."

002 added, "You can hit Su Beichen right in front of me!"

As she walked away, Xiong Bufan said, "Go, go, go play somewhere else," indicating that she was going home to sleep.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, 002 grinned foolishly. He knew that in Xiong Bufan's heart, he was more important than Su Beichen.

Su Beichen's return to the capital was the eldest prince's doing. To outsiders, the two were in cahoots. After the eldest prince gained power, he would naturally recall Su Beichen to show those hesitant ministers that associating with the eldest prince would bring them benefits.

The sudden deaths of two princes in their prime within two years are no small matter, especially since they were both hot contenders for the throne. The emperor would not let this matter pass quietly and ordered Su Beichen to find out the real culprit and bring justice to the two princes.

Looking at the emperor sitting on the throne, Su Beichen realized that the successive loss of his sons had truly aged their king. Su Beichen knelt on the ground in reverence and replied, "Your Majesty, I will certainly uphold justice for the two princes."

Emperor: "Kneel and take your leave."

The eunuch shouted, "Court adjourned!"

Ministers: "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

The emperor left the palace amidst shouts of "Long live the emperor!" from the crowd.

The eldest prince quietly approached Su Beichen and asked, "Brother Su, what are your thoughts on the matter of my two younger brothers? I have someone I suspect."

Su Beichen glanced at the eldest prince. He suspected that the eldest prince and Cui Haoyu were behind it, but he had no evidence. After all, the second and third princes were dead, and the eldest and fifth princes were the ones who benefited. "Your Highness, tell me."

The eldest prince looked around and said, "I suspect it's my fifth brother. What my second and third brothers did back then was too much."

"Your Highness, everything must be based on evidence."

But a seed of doubt was still planted in Su Beichen's heart, and he began to suspect Cui Haoyu.
