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

Chapter 100 Princess An's Lasimp
Gu Wangyan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there are unusual signs in the northwest. The Xiongnu may be about to invade."

Upon hearing this, Fang Lingchu looked up at Gu Wangyan and asked, "System, what's going on? Do you know?"

The system said: [Host, I am the gossip-eating system, not Baidu Encyclopedia. No one comes here, I can't see the gossip, how could I possibly know what's going on?]

Fang Lingchu said, "Tonight I'll ask my father which general is guarding the Northwest. We'll go to his house and see if we can find out anything from these people."

Upon hearing this, the emperor said, "Summon the General Who Conquers the North; I'd like to see what's going on."

Fang Lingchu looked at this one, then at that one, and asked, "Guagua, should I tell you about my matter? Although His Majesty promised me, he hasn't told me how to do it yet!"

The system, somewhat confused, said: [Host, I feel the emperor wouldn't tell you how to do it; he'd just do it for you directly.]

Fang Lingchu was stunned when she heard what the system said.

【Huh? Why? I just want to hand over the stuff and then lie down!】

Emperor: You wish!

Minister Fang: Why is my daughter sometimes so silly?

Fang Lingchu looked at the emperor with a hint of flattery and asked, "Your Majesty, um...."

Before Fang Lingchu could finish speaking, the emperor waved his hand and said, "Since it was proposed by Minister Fang, you should naturally carry it out. Submit a plan to me tomorrow and include it in your memorial."

Fang Lingchu was dumbfounded. She looked at her father with a bewildered expression. She had never written a memorial to the throne.

Minister Fang looked at his daughter's silly expression and felt a little disgusted.

Her usual act of being clever vanished in an instant.

Fang Lingchu cried and sang along with the system.

[The emperor is such a jerk! How could he treat me like this? I was even planning to give him the method, why does he still give me work to do? I can't even get promoted for doing this, I'm just working for free! I quit! Waaaaah!]

After Fang Lingchu's howling, the emperor seemed to remember something and his mood improved considerably.

He had originally planned to start the women's enke project, but unexpectedly he also obtained a method for mass-producing salt. How should I put it! Now, no matter what Fang Lingchu says to him, he won't get angry.

The system, with an air of knowing all along, said: "No offense, but whoever brings it up should do it. Wasn't this how it always was when you were working?"

Fang Lingchu retorted indignantly: "I used to work to support my family, now I'm here to slack off. How can that be the same? Whatever, Guagua, can you help me write this?"

The system repeated its previous statement: "Host, this system is not Baidu Encyclopedia; it's merely a system responsible for observing and updating itself."

Fang Lingchu looked around listlessly, seemingly exhausted.

I don't chat with the system anymore.

They didn't listen to what the emperor and the others were discussing.

Just as Fang Lingchu was spacing out, the generals the emperor had summoned arrived.

When the emperor saw them, his face instantly darkened.

The generals who just entered are General Meng Ruo, General Yang Xi, and General Song Xiaoyu.

The three men entered and saw their superiors looking at them with strange eyes.

In particular, General Xia Mingjie and General Gong Mingcheng.

Looking at them made me feel uneasy.

Fang Lingchu saw that a new person had come in.

The system asked: "[System, are any of these three people involved in this war?]"

The system was overjoyed to see that Fang Lingchu was paying attention to it again.

[Yes, host, especially Song Xiaoyu. Every single one of his scandals is explosive, and he's even connected to the former Princess An! Hehehehe]

Song Xiaoyu, who had just finished bowing and getting ready, heard Fang Lingchu's thoughts and inwardly cried out in alarm.

No wonder his eyelids had been twitching all day; it turned out this jinx was here. Seeing Song Xiaoyu glaring at Fang Lingchu, Gu Wangyan immediately stepped in front of the little girl.

The emperor looked at the three men and angrily questioned them: "The Xiongnu in the northwest have invaded. What is your opinion on this, my dear ministers?"

Fang Lingchu rubbed her hands together excitedly and asked, "What kind of gossip is it? Tell me about it."

Others, however, were not so happy to hear about it.

Because the gossip Fang Lingchu is consuming might be something they can't handle.

The system opened Song Xiaoyu's melon patch, flipping through them one by one, piecing together the storylines.

Then he showed it to Fang Lingchu.

Holy crap, what kind of person is this?

Upon hearing Fang Lingchu's words, Song Xiaoyu knew that he was about to be exposed.

Just as he was about to move, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy pierced his neck with a needle, rendering him immobile.

Then I saw him stick two needles into himself, his body was limp and he had no internal strength left.

He looked at the head of the Imperial Medical Academy in surprise, his eyes filled with hatred.

The head of the academy snorted coldly and refused to look at him again.

The emperor gave him an approving look, then quietly looked at Song Xiaoyu.

Listen to what the other two people are saying.

Because Gu Wangyan was blocking her view, Fang Lingchu didn't notice anything amiss.

Even if they saw it, how could they possibly imagine that someone would hear their heartfelt words, especially so many people?

Song Xiaoyu could only look at Gu Wangyan in front of him with omnipotence, but she was terrified.

Others: Stop looking, read it aloud so we can all hear what's going on.

[This person is actually a loyal sycophant of the deceased Princess An! What did this Prince An do wrong? His son isn't his own, his princess is a fake, and he's been cuckolded for so long—and not just once, but in a very blatant way. It's like he's been living a life of unrequited love.]

Emperor Chongde: It's that fake Princess An again. Just how many people are hiding in the Dragon Kingdom?

Fang Lingchu continued, "No wonder the Dragon Kingdom was conquered so quickly. It turns out that after Song Xiaoyu got together with Princess An, he secretly cooperated with other countries, even with the Xiongnu. He even sold the border defense map to them for only 100,000 taels of gold."

Tsk tsk tsk, our Crown Prince is worth this much? Is Song Xiaoyu out of his mind? He'd sell out his country for such a small amount of money.

Emperor Chongde looked at Song Xiaoyu with cold eyes, already imagining how he would die in the future.

When Song Xiaoyu learned that Fang Lingchu had discovered his betrayal of the country, he felt utterly devastated.

His family is doomed.

Song Xiaoyu is only now realizing the fear; his entire Song clan might die because of this.

Song Xiaoyu looked at the emperor, wanting to beg for mercy, but unfortunately, he couldn't move his body.

They could only watch helplessly as the emperor calmly and composedly looked into their eyes, deciding the fate of their entire family.

Meanwhile, people had already surrounded the Song family's residence.

When the locals saw Songjiawei, they all flocked to come and see what was going on.

Commoner 1: What did General Song's family do wrong that warrants so many soldiers?

Commoner 2: Have you noticed that His Majesty has become increasingly unpredictable lately? Many powerful families have been killed these past few days.

Citizen 3: Yes, could we be next? Our emperor is a tyrant, and General Song is such a good person! During the disaster, his family even went to the city gate to distribute porridge!
