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

Chapter 129 The Emperor is Poisoned
The Empress had no intention of making things difficult for a mere imperial physician.

At that moment, Gao De's voice came from the doorway.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

Gao stumbled in.

The Empress frowned slightly when she saw Gao De's appearance.

"Eunuch Gao, you've been a senior servant of His Majesty for a long time. Why are you in such a panic?"

Gao quickly apologized to the Empress.

"The Empress is furious, and many people have gathered at the palace gate. Consort Li is also rushing towards His Majesty."

The Empress frowned and said, "Let those ministers in. The Third Prince should go and receive them first, and invite Consort Li in."

The Empress was deep in thought. Although she was also worried about her son, she needed to calm the ministers down first.

"Liu Feipeng, when will His Majesty be able to return given his condition?"

At this moment, the emperor was in so much pain that he was about to roll his eyes back.

But he still gritted his teeth and said, "Let them come to the Hall of Diligent Governance. The Third Prince and the Empress will stay here."

He then endured the pain and got up to let the Empress dress him.

He sat in his chair, the Empress sat beside him, and the Third Prince sat below him.

The Third Prince's lips trembled slightly with nervousness.

However, she still forced herself to sit there, suppressing her fear.

Soon the ministers were brought in.

Here.

Fang Lingchu and her companions looked at the hundreds of people in front of them and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

[Guagua, why did you go back? Why are there so many people here?]

Fang Lingchu's Shadow Legion just went to check if there was any danger, and they returned shortly after.

And that's how so many people came.

The system is also helpless.

[Host, a rebel, a former member of the Crown Prince's faction.]

Fang Lingchu almost fainted.

What did you say? What former crown prince? What rebels?

The system looked at the people in front of it and said, "[These are the emperor's younger brother, the former crown prince's men. According to the plot, they haven't even appeared yet, but you had the misfortune of running into them. These people are super villains, and their strength is formidable. What are you going to do with so few people, host?]"

Fang Lingchu looked at those people, then said to Gu Wangyan and the others, "I don't know martial arts, so I'll dodge first, and then I'll have the Shadow Legion protect you."

Then she retreated to the back, activated her invisibility skill, and went to a safe place.

The Crown Prince is skilled in martial arts, although not as skilled as Gu Wangyan, but at least he can protect himself.

Yu Shuang is quite capable, but she's the only one who doesn't know anything, so it's best not to make things worse.

The people over there saw that there were originally only four people, but suddenly ten people appeared, and then another woman disappeared.

They looked at each other, all somewhat frightened.

"General, have we encountered a ghost?"

The man called General slapped his henchman next to him and said, "Look closely, the one in the middle wearing the yellow robe is the Crown Prince of the Dragon Kingdom. What demons and monsters? Even if they are ghosts, we will avenge our master. Attack!"

Upon hearing what the general said, those men immediately went forward.

Fang Lingchu, on the other hand, went to a safe place to watch the show.

[Guagua, we shouldn't get any blood splattered here, right?]

The system looked at its host, who was watching the show, with a bit of a speechless expression.

"Host, they're fighting. It's not good for us to just watch," Fang Lingchu said matter-of-factly. "I'm neither good at literature nor martial arts. What help could I possibly be? I'd rather protect myself and not distract them! Stop dawdling and tell me, what's the relationship between these people and Gu Wangyan and the Crown Prince?"

After hearing Fang Lingchu's words, the system thought about it and felt that it made a lot of sense.

These people are the former crown prince's men. They're here waiting for an opportunity to bring chaos to the Dragon Kingdom, oust the emperor, and then install the crown prince's son on the throne.

Fang Lingchu asked, "What does this have to do with Gu Wangyan?"

The three people fighting over there were easily distracted by Fang Lingchu's thoughts. If it weren't for the Shadow Legion, they would have been gone long ago.

Fang Lingchu also noticed that they weren't fighting seriously.

[Guagua, what's going on with them? Why are they fighting and getting distracted?]

Crown Prince: Isn't it all because of you?

Yu Shuang: I can't help my gossipy nature.

Gu Wangyan: So what does it have to do with him?

Gu Wangyan had a premonition that this matter might be related to what he had been searching for, so how could he fight in peace?

The system glanced at it but didn't pay any attention; as long as he didn't die, that was fine.

[Host, if all else fails, you can exchange for banana peels that guarantee a 100% success rate, as well as itching powder and super-intensely spicy chili powder. Those should all work!]

Fang Lingchu thought about it and it seemed to be true.

[Give me ten banana peels, two packets of itching powder, and two bottles of super spicy powder.]

(Exchange successful. Host points: 10000.)
Fang Lingchu looked at the points and asked, "Guagua, do you need more points?"

The system shook its head and said, "No need. My leveling up now depends on luck."

Fang Lingchu glanced at her own luck.

(Host: Fang Lingchu)

Skills: Crow's Mouth, Invisibility, Size Change, Inanimate Object Transformation, Shadow Legion, etc.

System Level: 7 (500/1000 Luck)

Pet: Stone Turtle, Level 1
Little Golden Dragon (3000/10000 Luck)
Fang Lingchu was speechless.

[Guagua, you need luck too, and the little golden dragon needs good fortune too! Where am I supposed to get so much luck?!]

The system understands this principle, but it can't do anything about it!

[Host, there's nothing we can do! There aren't many luck-related missions lately, and besides the Crown Prince, there are only a handful of people left who can increase luck. We still have to wait for them to grow stronger!]

Fang Lingchu said she didn't want to listen.

Why don't you tell us about Gu Wangyan's scandal instead?

The system knows that Fang Lingchu is unhappy right now.

[Host, these people are related to the Gu family massacre, but I can't see the whole picture. It seems like they've blocked something, so I can't see it clearly.]

What I saw was that they seemed to have collaborated with Duan Ganze's father to kill the Gu family; what they were after was the Seven-Colored Flower in your possession.

Fang Lingchu hadn't expected that there was something related to the Hundred Fiends Pavilion inside; it was really complicated!

What is the connection between this and Duan Ganze's father?

The system explained: "[That's right, didn't Duan Ganze have a mental illness since childhood? Although Duan Xiaofei didn't know what a mental illness was, he felt very sad seeing his son like that."]

Then he inquired about any way to treat his son's illness and heard that the Seven-Colored Flower could cure all diseases. This thing just happened to be in the Gu family.

At this time, the former crown prince approached him, saying that he could cooperate with him to help him obtain the Seven-Colored Flower.

Although Duan Xiaofei loved his son dearly, he wasn't a fool. While he agreed, he didn't use any of the Hundred Fiends Pavilion's men. Instead, he sent villains from the martial world, along with some of the former crown prince's own men, who also used poison. This is why the Gu family was tragically wiped out, leaving only Gu Wangyan alive.

Is anyone watching? If so, could you vote for me? Could you please read the previous post? Please, I beg you.

The child is so pitiful, sob sob sob. My dearest readers, I love you all! I knew you were the best people in the world.
