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

Chapter 209 A Fated Marriage

[Guagua, are you trying to kill me? If he doesn't drink that tea, I'll kill you!]

Fang Lingchu is on the verge of a breakdown!
That was the seven-colored flower she had carefully nurtured!
Helian Shunan acted as if she hadn't seen it, elegantly picking up the tea on the table, her expression indescribable.

Thank goodness he drank it. If he had wasted my stuff, you and he would both die.

Helian Shunan's lips twitched; thankfully, he had drunk it.

Otherwise, he would have been killed by Fang Lingchu before anything even happened to him.

After drinking it, Helian Shunan could clearly feel the changes in her body.

"Princess, I have some matters to attend to. Would you mind staying here alone for a while?"

"Okay, go ahead."

[Guagua, is it time for a reaction?]

[Of course, this is the Seven Colors Gathering; their medicine is said to cure anything. But I wonder how long it will take him to recover.]

How boring. What's wrong with him? He even needs my precious seven-colored flower.

To prolong the life of the Dragon Kingdom, he sacrificed 200 years of his cultivation, thus hanging by a thread.

[What's going on? Is he involved here too?]

[That's right. At first, he could see that the Dragon Kingdom's fate was sealed, but in order to prolong its life, he defied destiny, found a divination method, and lost all his cultivation, turning into a 200-year-old skeleton. Of course, he was going to die!]

[200 years old? He's so handsome, how is that possible?]

[Host, this person is a cultivator, and a very skilled one at that. It's quite remarkable that they can maintain their original appearance.]

Okay, but why would someone so amazing come to China?

He Lian Shunan inside blushed deeply upon hearing these words.

His secret was thus revealed.

Because of distracting thoughts, I almost made a mistake in my cultivation.

Quickly clear your mind of distractions and focus on your cultivation. You can go and explain to the emperor later.

What? He did it for the Sixth Prince? No, why is it this again?

He and the Sixth Prince were destined for each other, so for the sake of the Sixth Prince, he stayed and became the Imperial Advisor of the Dragon Kingdom.

[Him and the Sixth Prince? How old is the Sixth Prince now? Besides, the Sixth Prince wasn't even born when he arrived!]

Yes, he initially thought it was a girl, but it turned out to be a boy. He secluded himself for a year before he could accept this fact.

[Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter! I really want to know the extent of the psychological trauma the real imperial advisor must be experiencing.]

Helian Shunan: Thank you! I didn't want you to know.

Bodyguard: Should we go and tell them about this?

Bodyguard 3: Of course we're going!

Bodyguard 5: Who is that?
Everyone pointed to 13
Bodyguard 13: Why don't you think of him when there's something good? You just let him do this kind of thing, right?

Looking at everyone, the 13th guard could only resign himself to his fate and go tell the emperor about this.

Fang Lingchu and the system were still gossiping.

[But this is also a kind of nurturing system! Does the emperor know about this?]

[Of course not! But even if they did, they'd probably just send the Sixth Prince over in a package deal.]

【why? 】

[Think about it yourself, which is more important, a son or a royal advisor? Besides, the emperor doesn't lack sons.]

Fang Lingchu thought about it and felt that what the system said made a lot of sense, and she was speechless for a moment.

[However, according to the original plot, wasn't the Sixth Prince murdered in the last few days?]

Fang Lingchu remembered that she seemed to have seen this plot before.

Yes, during the sacrificial ceremony, the sixth prince was pushed off a platform ten thousand meters high and smashed to pieces.

Who is it?

Who else could it be but the rebels? The former crown prince's men are everywhere.

"No, you still haven't found the former crown prince?"

[Host, if the character doesn't appear, I can't find them, just like I don't know who killed Gu Wangyan's entire family.]

【Didn't you say you were working for the former crown prince?】【I initially thought so, but Gu Wangyan's revenge progress is stuck at 80%, so the mastermind shouldn't be either of those two groups.】

Seriously, I'm speechless. How did you manage to create so many more mysteries?

I don't know either! That's just how it is.

Fang Lingchu rolled her eyes at the system and continued gossiping about Helian Shunan.

[The sixth prince is dead, what will become of the imperial advisor?]

Their love story spanned three lifetimes; the Imperial Advisor died first, followed by the Sixth Prince.

What does this mean? When did the Imperial Advisor die?

According to the original plot, on the day you saved the emperor, you were struck down by the backlash of Heaven and died.

What is this now?

Fang Lingchu swallowed hard, glancing nervously at the closed door, and silently shifted her body slightly.

[Host, could you please stop having such wild imaginations? It's because you saved the emperor that you didn't have to lift a finger, which is why you didn't die so young.]

Oh, why didn't you say so sooner?

Fang Lingchu took the stool back.

The bodyguard who overheard the whole thing: ...

[Now that I've saved him this time, how will the story unfold?]

The system cannot answer this question because their fates will still unfold according to their trajectory; the endings will be the same, only the processes will be different.

Your second brother has been sent to Baishan Town.

【What? 】

Fang Lingchu excitedly stood up from the stool, bumping her knees in the process.

Just then, Helian Shunan's door opened.

Upon hearing Fang Lingchu's voice, he quickly went over to check her knee.

"Princess, are you alright?"

"Grand Preceptor, you're out. I'm fine. I need to go see His Majesty to ask him some questions. I'll come see you again next time."

Helian Shunan leaned back in his chair and said, "I know what you want to ask. It was my suggestion to send Young Master Fang."

"What, why?"

Fang Lingchu was so excited that she forgot about the pain in her knees.

At this moment, Fang Lingchu suddenly felt like she had saved a heartless ingrate.

Helian Shunan squatted down, took out the medicine from his pocket, and slowly applied it to the affected area.

Then he slowly said, "Because he has a very smooth personality, Cao Dongsheng is the most suitable person to go there. I'm sorry, I hope the princess won't be angry."

After applying the medicine, Helian Shunan knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and apologized softly.

Seeing him like this, Fang Lingchu felt a tightness in her chest, unable to breathe properly, and her face turned red with frustration.

"Helian Shunan, you..."

Fang Lingchu admitted that Helian Shunan's words made a lot of sense, but that was her brother, the person she had to protect.

If something goes wrong, what's the point of all she's doing?

"I'm sorry, Princess, please punish me."

Fang Lingchu really wanted to hit him, but he had just recovered.

"Kneel down."

Then Fang Lingchu saw other places.

Actually, it's communicating with the system.

[Guagua, why didn't you tell me about this sooner?]

Telling you won't change anything!
