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

Chapter 7 The entertainment industry is truly chaotic.

【Who? 】

[That's the general who's shouting the loudest; he's Prince An's male favorite.]

Everyone:...

Fang Lingchu looked at the general in shock. [He's so burly and strong, yet he can be a male concubine. Is Prince An really that ugly? The Emperor is so handsome, Prince An shouldn't be.]

Everyone: Shouldn't the focus now be on whether Prince An is good-looking or not? Shouldn't the focus be on the fact that Princess An cheated on her husband?

Emperor: Why can't this girl ever get to the point?

Hearing the system say this, Han Wei felt utterly hopeless; his secret had been revealed after all.

Everyone looked at Han Wei with disdain; how could a great general be someone else's male concubine?

Han Wei ignored everyone and focused intently on how to stop Fang Lingchu from talking anymore.

Seeing Han Wei like this, the emperor quickly signaled to the generals around him to surround him.

Fang Lingchu didn't notice everyone's subtle movements and continued to enjoy the show.

Prince An was not ugly; in fact, he was quite handsome. Otherwise, how could this great general still be so obsessed with him after he's been dead for so many years? He even considered making Prince An's son emperor. And he even cuckolded Prince An.

General Han Wei immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I did not, I am innocent!"

Fang Lingchu was startled by Han Wei's actions. [What is Han Wei doing, shouting so loudly?]

Everyone: It's all because of you.

[I don't know, it's none of our business, let's just keep watching.]

So, is Han Wei bisexual?

【Yes】

[Wow! Is it that exciting? Won't he and Princess An...?]

[That Princess An was actually Han Wei's childhood sweetheart; the two had secretly pledged their love to each other since they were young.]

[Wasn't Han Wei supposed to be an orphan? How come they're childhood sweethearts?]

Before joining the army, Han Wei was a servant in the Grand Tutor's household. By chance, he saved the Grand Tutor's daughter.

Did the young lady fall in love with this servant because of this heroic rescue?

[Yes, yes, that's right. Then the two of them secretly got together, and the Grand Tutor found out. He originally intended to beat them to death, but the daughter threatened him with her life, so he had no choice but to give in.]

Why did she marry Prince An?

The eldest daughter's condition for marrying Prince An was that her father release Han Wei and return his indenture.

This young lady is quite devoted in love.

Not only that, she also introduced Han Mo to Prince An, making him his subordinate. However, she never expected that he would eventually fall in love with Prince An and become his male favorite.

[Doesn't Princess An know that Prince An is also bisexual?]

Of course I don't know.

So, he wanted Prince An's heir to be emperor because he loved both of them?

Of course not, it's because the Crown Prince of An is his and Princess An's child.

[Wow, this is amazing!] Fang Lingchu couldn't help but want to eat some sunflower seeds.

Everyone: This story has taken so many twists and turns.

[Didn't you notice that the Crown Prince of An looks like this Han Wei? Ugly, not good-looking at all. Look at the other princes, aren't they all exceptionally handsome, at the peak of their looks?]

Fang Lingchu secretly tiptoed to look at the Crown Prince and other princes ahead. [What you're saying is true. Especially His Highness the Crown Prince; if that face of his were to fall into a brothel one day, he could single-handedly support an entire memorial archway.]

Fang Shilang: Destroy it.

Crown Prince: He felt something was off about that statement; he didn't feel praised at all.

"Right? I also think that Crown Prince is handsome. If His Majesty wanted you to be his Crown Princess, would you agree?"

Everyone: His Majesty intends to make Lord Fang the Crown Princess.

The crown prince looked at the emperor with some surprise.

Just as everyone was considering this matter, Fang Lingchu's inner voice rang out again.

"Absolutely not. I was born to be a free bird in the sky; do you want me to be a caged canary?"

Crown Prince: He was rejected.

Those who didn't want their daughters to enter the Crown Prince's palace could just listen to this, but those who did have daughters felt a renewed sense of hope upon hearing Fang Lingchu's refusal.

The emperor remained seated on his high platform, showing no reaction whatsoever.

The emperor watched as the two men drifted further and further away from the topic of Han Wei's rebellion. "Your Majesty," said the prince, "I observe that the Crown Prince's appearance is nothing like that of Prince An, but rather bears some resemblance to General Han Wei. I fear this may be an attempt to confuse the royal bloodline. I beg Your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Your Majesty, I am innocent! I have been framed."

The system and Fang Lingchu were drawn by Han Wei's commotion. [System, why is Han Wei kneeling?]

It seems Lord Lin thought the Prince An's heir resembled Han Wei.

Wow, this adult is so smart!

Lin Simen, who had been praised for his intelligence by the system and Fang Lingchu, coughed twice in embarrassment.

【yes. 】

Is Han Wei planning a rebellion?

[It's not Han Wei who wants to rebel, it's Princess An who wants to rebel.]

【ah? Why? 】

Because she was a spy for the Zhao state.

Everyone:...

The military officer then quietly approached the Grand Tutor.

The Grand Tutor was stunned by this information: her daughter was a spy?

His Majesty's face darkened again, and he looked at the Crown Prince with a somewhat unfriendly gaze, because it was the Crown Prince who was investigating the matter of spies.

【Ah? Or is it a spy?】

【yes·】

Did that old Grand Tutor join?

[Of course not, after all, that Princess An is an imposter, she hasn't been home for ages.]

Grand Tutor: What about his daughter?

What happened to the original Princess An?

[She's dead. She was killed by spies shortly after giving birth to Prince An's heir.]

[So how come the Dragon Kingdom remained unscathed after this fake princess had been lying in wait for so long?]

Everyone: It seems like it's a pity about Master Fang.

[Host, why do you seem a little disappointed?]

[That's true to some extent, considering they've been lying low for so long without accomplishing anything.]

[Who says there wasn't? The year His Majesty ascended the throne, the court was in chaos, and this princess was partly responsible for some of it.]

[Expand and talk. 】

This melon belongs to that princess; it can't be opened.

Okay, so tell me how I can secretly tell the emperor this information.

[Passing a note]

No matter how the news spreads, I am not qualified to get close to the emperor. In fact, I might even face the execution of my entire family for offending the emperor.

Vice Minister Fang: So you know about executing the entire family?

"Then I don't know, I'm just a gossip system."

[If you can't write to His Majesty, you can write to my father.]

[Yes, host, you're very clever.]

The emperor glanced at Han Wei, who was following him, waved his hand, and ordered someone to take him away.

Then everyone discussed some important national affairs before the court session ended.

Fang Lingchu happily arrived at her father's side, ready to go home.

As they left, everyone looked at Fang Lingchu with strange expressions.

[System, what kind of looks are those?]

[Maybe they just think you're good-looking; after all, everyone likes good-looking people.]

Hearing the system say that, I touched my face and realized it made sense.

Then Fang Lingchu quickly followed closely behind her father.
