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

Chapter 89: Was he cuckolded again?
Fang Lingchu began to relax when she saw someone arrive.

[Guagua, why are the reinforcements taking so long? Could it be that this general is being lazy and doesn't want to come to rescue the Crown Prince?]

Fang Lingchu was somewhat angry. She had been struggling to save the Crown Prince, while the Emperor was doing nothing and only now sent someone. She was furious.

Fang Lingchu's casual remark scared General Pingxi half to death.

If this gets back to the emperor, he might lose his head.

The system said: "You're wronging him. He rushed here as soon as he heard the news."

Fang Lingchu asked in confusion, "They're galloping, so why are they still so slow? What kind of horse is that? Is it a cow or a horse?"

The system said again: "The fact that they arrived so slowly has nothing to do with the emperor or them; this is your fault, host."

Fang Lingchu: ? ? ? ?
What does this have to do with me? It's not like I'm stopping him from coming.

The system waved its hand and said, "But Little Black doesn't know the way! The Emperor isn't in the Hall of Diligent Governance tonight; he's in the Empress's palace. If Little Black can't find him, it'll have to search every palace, which will waste time."

Hearing the system's words, Fang Lingchu touched her nose, feeling both unreasonable and indignant, and said: "[How was I supposed to know he wasn't here tonight? He's usually as diligent as a little rascal, but today, due to the special circumstances, he went to do that with the Empress. It's too much! It's all His Majesty's fault.]"

Upon hearing this, General Pingxi's legs went weak and he almost knelt down.

Lord Fang, thank goodness His Majesty isn't here, otherwise he would have scolded you for cricket-pecking again.
Minister Fang: It's a good thing His Majesty isn't here, otherwise, what if he executed our entire clan for disrespecting the royal family!

The crown prince was somewhat helpless, not expecting this reason.

At first, he thought about many things, such as the Heavenly Dao preventing him from entering the city smoothly and not reaching the palace. He thought about everything, but he was very puzzled that Xiao Hei would get lost.

When the others heard this reason, they were both amused and exasperated, unsure of who to blame.

The system considered Fang Lingchu's apology and echoed, "[That's right, that's right. Your emperor is utterly inhuman. You're working so hard to protect his son, and instead of going to work, he's out making babies. That's outrageous!]"

Upon hearing the words "creating humans," Fang Lingchu asked, "Why has Your Majesty suddenly decided to create humans?"

The system chuckled and said, "[Your Majesty desires a little princess.]"

This puzzled Fang Lingchu.

The emperor already has princesses, why does he want more now?

Didn't the emperor have many princesses?

The system explained: "But none of them were born to the Empress!"

Upon hearing the system's words, Fang Lingchu said with disdain, "[Tsk tsk tsk, even the emperor is discriminating. Aren't they all his daughters?]"

The system chuckled and said, "How would a man know the child is definitely his? It didn't come from their womb, right?"

Upon hearing the system's words, all the men present changed their expressions. Had His Majesty been cuckolded again?

Fang Lingchu thought so too.

Has he been cheated on again?

The system, not expecting Fang Lingchu to misunderstand again, said: "[No, no, I was just reflecting. Think about it, to ensure the continuation of the family line, don't you need to find a woman? Only a woman knows if a child is hers. Men, those who only care about having a child but not caring about nurturing the plant, don't understand what's suitable for you. How could they think that men are the ones who carry on the family line!]"

Hearing the system's words, Fang Lingchu wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "Actually, I'm not quite sure either, but this is a patriarchal society, so everyone must think that inheritance should be done by men."

The system stated: "However, regarding bloodline inheritance, only women can determine who their offspring will be. Furthermore, women can pass on all their positive qualities to the next generation, while men mostly inherit their negative traits, since these are expelled from their bodies."

Fang Lingchu thought about it and it seemed to make a lot of sense.

[Wow, System, what you said makes a lot of sense. It's like when we defecate; only bad things get out of the body, not good things, right?] Others: Although it sounds weird, it makes so much sense.

The women present said: "The princess is right. They are the ones who carried the child for ten months and gave birth to it. It doesn't matter who the father of the child is. What matters is that the child must be theirs."

They will definitely have their own bloodline, ah, this, this, this...

Some also felt that Fang Lingchu and the system were making unfounded arguments.

The system nodded in agreement and said, "[Yes, that's what my predecessors in the Beast World and the Interstellar World all said. In the worlds where they did their missions, women had a very high status and were highly sought after.]"

Hearing the system's words, Fang Lingchu didn't say anything more, but then another question came to mind, and she asked: "How do they know about our world?"

Without hesitation, the system replied: "Of course it was me who shared it."

Upon hearing the system's words, Fang Lingchu narrowed her eyes, softened her voice, and asked, "You're not going to use my affairs to make yourself a laughingstock again, are you?"

Upon hearing Fang Lingchu's dangerous laughter, the system immediately declared: "I didn't, host. I swear, I really didn't show them your affairs."

Seeing the system's response, Fang Lingchu said nothing more.

[By the way, why didn't Xiao Hei ask anyone if he couldn't find the place?]

The system said again: [Host, Xiao Hei and the others can only communicate with you; they cannot communicate with anyone else.]

Upon hearing the system's words, Fang Lingchu recalled that when she asked Xiaobai to stop the Crown Prince earlier that day, Xiaobai hadn't said a word and had just stood silently in front of the carriage. So that's how it was.

Fang Lingchu wanted to chat with the system a little longer.

Someone then said that it was almost done tidying up.

The bodies of those drug addicts they killed were all buried.

"Princess, you may return to the city now."

They finished disposing of the body and the objects, and the sun had already begun to rise slightly.

Just then, the city gates opened, making it a good time to go back.

Fang Lingchu nodded and got into the carriage.

Lin Wanrou had just gone with everyone to pack up those things.

At the same time, he also learned from Fang Lingchu's maid how to identify venomous snakes.

The two had a very pleasant conversation.

When she returned, Lin Wanrou was still somewhat reluctant to leave.

Upon seeing this, Fang Lingchu suddenly asked, "Sister Lin, what do you think you're good at?"

Lin Wanrou was taken aback by Fang Lingchu's sudden question and didn't quite catch it.

"Princess, what did you say?"

Fang Lingchu wasn't angry, and asked again, "What do you feel you're best at?"

Upon hearing Fang Lingchu's question, the system asked: "Host, what do you want to know?"

Fang Lingchu replied: "Originally, I wanted her to train horses, but I never asked her if she wanted to. Just now, seeing how interested she is in pharmacology and how she can control snakes, I suddenly don't know what to do with her."
