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

Chapter 139 The Female Lead's Triggered Destiny Mission

Fang Lingchu looked at the group, patted Yu Shuang on the shoulder with satisfaction, and said, "Let's go, Grandma."

The crown prince produced a fan from somewhere and held it in his hand. Combined with his demeanor, he resembled a spoiled young master from a fallen family.

Yu Shuang took Fang Lingchu's hand and said, "Shall we go now? Don't we need a carriage?"

Fang Lingchu thought for a moment and said, "No need. We need to infiltrate the people. Riding in a carriage wouldn't look right, understand?"

Yu Shuang nodded as if she understood, then asked, "Where are we going?"

Fang Lingchu smiled, and the group walked slowly through the mountains and forests. Soon they encountered a girl carrying a basket on her back.

From a distance, it looked like the girl was digging something.

Fang Lingchu helped Yu Shuang up and said, "Grandma, slow down, we'll be in the city soon."

Yu Shuang realized that Fang Lingchu was trying to attract the girl's attention, so she patted her hand and said, "My poor little girl, sigh! It's all my fault for being useless and unable to protect your parents."

The conversation between the two people and the sound of their quiet sobbing quickly attracted the attention of the girl in front of them.

She was dressed in coarse linen clothes, her head was tied with an old red cloth, and two small braids hung over her shoulders. Her hair was a little dry and yellow, but it did not affect her beauty.

At this moment, the system said: "[That's right, host, this is the female lead, the little sweetheart novel, similar to Lin Wanrou. She has great medical talent, and today is the day she is forced to marry the old man male lead.]"

Our mission is to save her and give her the opportunity to learn medicine and become the chief physician of the Dragon Kingdom.

(Note: Once outside the capital, only a few people close to the female protagonist and certain other individuals can hear her true feelings.)
Fang Lingchu had mixed feelings when she saw the Luck Mission!
She was just chatting with Yu Shuang when she suddenly triggered a destiny mission, which was to save the female lead in a tragic novel from marrying an old man—a brainless plot.

(Luck Mission: Save the female protagonist in a tragic novel. Luck Points: 20.)
Fang Lingchu originally didn't want to accept, since she wanted to go back and rest properly, but the luck points offered were too many, enough to draw a mid-level skill, how could Fang Lingchu not be tempted!

Fang Lingchu knew the girl must be the female lead as soon as she saw her face.

With that gentle, innocent look in her eyes and her beautiful face, there's no doubt about it.

The girl was drawn to the conversation between Fang Lingchu and Yu Shuang, and felt pity for their group of elderly, weak, sick and disabled people.

Just as she was hesitating whether to come up and help, Yu Shuang suddenly went black and fainted.

This action startled Hua and Yue, who were supporting her, and Fang Lingchu immediately burst into tears.

"Waaah, Grandma, Grandma, are you alright! Brother, what happened to Grandma? Grandma, don't leave us two behind! Grandma..."

Fang Lingchu's cries were mournful, and she looked heartbroken.

Gu Wangyan and the Crown Prince were startled. If they hadn't known beforehand that Fang Lingchu and Yu Shuang were trying to attract the attention of the female lead, they would have taken it seriously.

When the girl saw the old man fall, she quickly came over to check on him.

She was initially worried that the other party wouldn't let her help because she was a woman!
Fang Lingchu looked at the girl who had suddenly appeared and asked with teary eyes, "Sister, are you the Imperial Physician?"

The young woman gently took the pulse and said, "The old man is fine. It's just that the sun was too strong and he was overworked and didn't eat. He'll be fine after eating something."

I'm not a court physician; I've only studied a little bit, though my family used to be.

Hearing this, Fang Lingchu lowered her head, feeling somewhat embarrassed. At this moment, the Crown Prince feigned sadness and said, "We have no food on us; Grandmother hasn't eaten anything all day."

Upon hearing the Crown Prince's words, the female lead finally noticed him, and was momentarily stunned by his beauty.

However, he quickly regained his composure and said, "I have some food here, let the old man have something to eat first."

After expressing her gratitude profusely, Fang Lingchu quickly handed the food to the maid to feed Yu Shuang.

While picking up her things, the female lead observed Fang Lingchu and the others. Seeing that the old man was almost awake, she said, "The old man is alright now, so I'll be leaving now."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Fang Lingchu quickly stood up and asked, "Sister, can you do us one more favor? We'll definitely repay you when we find our uncle in the capital, okay? Although I don't have much money right now, but..."

Fang Lingchu pretended to search her body and found a silver hairpin. She took it out and hesitated for a moment, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "I can give you this hairpin. Sister, can you help us? We haven't eaten for a long time and we have nowhere to stay. Please."

After saying this, Fang Lingchu was about to kneel down, but seeing this, the female lead quickly pulled her up.

At this moment, the Crown Prince also walked over and said, "Miss, we have no intention of offending you, but we are also desperate and can only ask for your help. If you ever need our help in the future, we will do our best to assist you."

The female protagonist looked at the group of five people. Two men were injured, an old man was on the verge of death, and the three little girls were dirty, as if they had suffered some great calamity.

Unable to contain her curiosity, she asked, "May I ask what's going on here?"

Fang Lingchu answered, sobbing, "Our family suffered a terrible disaster. We were planning to go to our uncle in the capital, but we encountered bandits on the way and all our money was stolen. If it weren't for the guards who risked their lives to protect us, we..."

At this point, Fang Lingchu buried her face in her brother's arms and cried her heart out!

When Gu Wangyan saw the Crown Prince holding Fang Lingchu's hand, a flash of murderous intent crossed his eyes, but he quickly recovered.

However, his eyes remained fixed on the prince's hand.

The Crown Prince seemed oblivious to the gazes behind him, continuing his act as distressed siblings with Fang Lingchu.

“We might die on the road. My sister is in poor health, and my grandmother is like this now. If we can’t find a place to stay, I don’t know what will happen to us.”

The female lead said to them, "My name is Chang Yingying, and I live in Changjia Village. If you don't mind, you can come to my house first..."

Before Chang Yingying could finish speaking, Fang Lingchu hurriedly interjected, "I don't mind at all. Thank you, Sister Yingying. Thank you so much. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Sister, you will surely live to be a hundred years old."

Chang Yingying smiled gently and said, "But I can't go back now. I need to pick some herbs. Please wait here for me."

Upon hearing Chang Yingying's words, Yu Shuang, who had just woken up, said, "Thank you for taking me in, young lady."

Then she wanted to say something to the Crown Prince, but she didn't know what to call him. Then she had a sudden inspiration and said, "Taier, go and help Yingying."
