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

Chapter 207 is different.
However, they were quickly bitten to death by those insects, and even their bones were crushed and scattered at the city gate, leaving no trace of their remains.

I understand. I'm tired, I'm going to sleep for a while.

[Good Host]

Fang Lingchu wasn't sleepy at all, but she felt really tired.

Think about it, and decide what to do next.

She already had a strange feeling about not seeing Gu Wangyan today.

Upon hearing of Xia Mingjie's death, her bad premonition grew stronger. She felt that something big was about to happen, but she didn't know where it would happen.

In July and August, Fang Lingchu felt a chill inexplicably biting wind.

She unconsciously pulled her clothes closer together. At that moment, she was all alone, and no one noticed that she was cold.

The system could see everything clearly from within the space, but it didn't say anything.

This was her fate, and it couldn't be changed.

They arrived at the mansion quickly.

Fang Lingchu felt as if someone had hugged her while she was still dazed.

It smelled familiar, so I stopped struggling and slowly fell asleep.

"My sister has been too tired these days."

"Yes, it must have been very difficult for her to bear so much on her own!"

Fang Lingxing stroked her younger sister's head, her eyes filled with heartache.

"She's too tired, can't you let her rest for a while?"

This was said to the eunuch beside him.

Gao De also felt sorry for this girl; this was His Majesty's order.

"Let the princess go to the palace to rest!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Lingming knew that his younger sister couldn't be home.

"I'll go with her."

Fang Lingming held his younger sister and smiled as he looked at Grandpa Gao.

"Please, Lord Fang"

Gao De also understood how much the Fang family valued Fang Lingchu.

Actually, he also felt sorry for this little girl.

Such a small person, yet she had to walk step by step alone to witness the destruction of a nation.

Hey!
These old folks can't really help, they can only do these little things.

Upon seeing Fang Lingchu asleep, everyone tacitly remained silent.

Do your own thing quietly and discreetly.

The carriage was also cushioned, and Fang Lingming gently placed her on it, patting her back with one hand.

The carriage could only travel slowly through the imperial city.

The palace, which used to take the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, now takes an hour.

As if they knew the people in the carriage were going to rest, the people on the street quietly stopped shopping in the once bustling area.

Upon arriving at the palace gate, the guards attempted to intercept the carriage, but upon seeing that it belonged to Fang Lingchu, they quickly opened the door.

The eunuch beside His Majesty just said that the one inside is too tired and has fallen asleep, so no one is allowed to disturb him.

The emperor already knows about Fang Lingchu's situation.

I also felt sorry for the girl's hard work these past few days, so I didn't ask her to come and meet me immediately.

The Empress arranged for Fang Lingchu to sit next to the Eldest Princess and instructed her to take good care of Fang Lingchu.

Then I went back to see the Seventh Princess.

Fang Lingming got out of the carriage at the palace gate to find the emperor.

His sister received special treatment, but he didn't.

Even if they did the same kind of thing.

"See your majesty, long live your majesty."

The emperor did not tell him to get up, but looked down at Fang Lingming for a while before saying, "Minister Fang, please get up. You have worked hard these past few days."

"It's no trouble at all. It is my honor to serve Your Majesty."

"I know about the matter in Baishan Town. I wonder what your thoughts are, Minister Fang?"

Fang Lingming knelt down in fear.

"Your Majesty, I am ignorant and beg for punishment."

"Baishan Town is extremely close to Qingzhou. Do you know what the fall of Baishan Town means for our Dragon Kingdom?!"

The emperor did not ask him to get up and continued to ask questions.

"Gyeongju is a strategic location in our country. If it falls, we will lose our economy, population, and food."

"I heard the governor of Qingzhou has died. Are you aware of this?"

Fang Lingming didn't react for a moment, looking up straight at the emperor. His mind was filled with what His Majesty was saying.

Eunuch Gao quickly reminded him, "Lord Fang, how dare you look directly at His Majesty? You have a death wish."

Fang Lingming quickly lowered his head, instantly understanding what His Majesty meant.

"I will definitely fulfill my mission."

"go"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Fang Lingming wanted to say something, but in the end he left without saying anything.

The emperor watched his retreating figure and sighed.

"Gao De, tell me, was it right or wrong for me to send the second son of the Fang family to Qingzhou?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the second young master of the Fang family is intelligent and quick-witted, and will certainly not fail in his mission."

"You're so good at talking. Try not to bring this up with Master Fang."

"Yes, Your Majesty"

Speaking of that little girl, the emperor was reminded of what happened today.

His head was throbbing terribly.

At that moment, the Empress entered.

"Your Majesty, is your head hurting again?"

"The Empress has arrived!"

The Empress gently rubbed the Emperor's forehead, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"Your Majesty has not had a proper rest for a day and a night. Go and get some sleep!"

"I can't sleep! Every time I close my eyes, all I see in my dreams are the eyes of those soldiers, and the unseeing look in General Xia's eyes when he died, but I can't do anything about it."

The Empress didn't know how to comfort the Emperor, after all, she had experienced far more cruel things.

"Your Majesty, things can be accomplished by human effort. As long as we properly comfort their families, I believe they will understand your intentions."

"Yeah, that's the only way."

The Emperor patted the Empress's hand and said, "Alright, I'll rest after I finish what I'm doing. You may go back now."

"Your Majesty, please take care of your health. Only when you are healthy will the Dragon Kingdom prosper."

"I understand. I will live well until the Crown Prince is able to take charge on his own."

"His Majesty……"

The empress looked at him with some anger.

"Alright, go back and keep an eye on Xiao Qi. Also, check if Fang Lingchu has woken up. If she has, come to the Hall of Diligent Governance to see me."

"This concubine takes her leave."

After seeing the Empress off, the Emperor picked up his pen, but couldn't bring himself to write anything.

The above is the battle situation today. Xia Mingjie died even earlier than Fang Lingchu said.

He simply placed his body at the city gate.

May General Xia rest in peace.

After the emperor finished speaking, he sent another young general to take over his position.

After finishing writing, he handed the document to Gao De, who was standing next to him.

"Send it secretly"

"Yes, Your Majesty"

Fang Lingchu woke up after sleeping for two hours.

[Host, why are you awake?]

Based on Fang Lingchu's sleep quality, she should need at least seven hours of sleep.

Fang Lingchu ignored the system's words and didn't say anything when she saw that she was in an unfamiliar environment.

She calmed down, and immediately a maid came to bathe and change her clothes.

She recognized her as a maidservant to the princess.

"What time is it now?"

"Replying to Princess Huguo, it is five quarters past Shenshi (3-5 PM)."

"Okay, got it"

The maid finished tidying up for Fang Lingchu and then went downstairs.

After a while, the eldest princess arrived.

"Greetings, Your Highness, Princess Protector of the Nation"

Fang Lingchu's rank was higher than that of the emperor's new daughter.

"Princess, please rise. I am going to see His Majesty. Please have someone lead the way."
