Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

After listening to Cheng Xu'an's explanation, Yu Hai turned to look at the person in the cesspool.

At this point, Ying Chengting had sunk so deep that only his head was sticking out.

Yu Hai frowned, his expression stiffening.

He looked at the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, look, this..."

He turned his head and found that the crown prince was no longer there.

In the distance, the Crown Prince was supporting Ying Yufu as she vomited.

Ying Yufu: "Your Highness, please stop vomiting. If you keep vomiting, I'll feel like vomiting too."

The prince's eyes were wet with tears, and his face was contorted in pain. "Fu'er, I'm so sorry, I can't help it. Maybe... you can vomit with me too, cough cough cough..."

Ying Yufu: "..."

Ying Yufu was strong and healthy, and although the smell was unpleasant, she was able to endure it.

Seeing that the prince was vomiting so violently and then started coughing uncontrollably, his handsome face turned an unnatural red.

[Host, you'd better stop his cough; he looks like he only has half a breath left.]

Xiao Dian reminded him.

Ying Yufu immediately said, "Little Dian, hurry up, I need to buy medicine, the cough medicine from last time."

[Ding! Cough medicine purchased successfully. 10 points deducted, remaining balance 5300 points.]

Ying Yufu took the medicine, uncorked the bottle, and poured it directly into the Crown Prince's mouth.

The prince's cough subsided instantly and gradually stopped.

The expressions of the onlookers shifted from tense to relieved, and then they stared in astonishment at the medicine bottle in Ying Yufu's hand.

Cang Mingze stepped forward, his eyes darkening as he glanced at the bottle in Ying Yufu's hand. He then looked at the Crown Prince with concern, "Is Your Highness alright?"

The prince smacked his lips. He remembered that he had drunk this medicine once before; it was sweet and quite delicious.

"I'm fine," the Crown Prince said calmly.

In fact, he also secretly glanced at Ying Yufu's empty bottle.

It's made of glass.

Cang Mingze said, "It's good that my brother is alright."

After saying that, he looked at Ying Yufu: "Fu'er, what kind of medicine is this? It can even stop coughing. With this medicine, my brother the Crown Prince's health will surely improve, right?"

Ying Yufu put away the empty bottle in her hand and said, "Your Highness, this is just cough medicine. It can only temporarily relieve the cough and cannot cure Your Highness's illness. Don't worry, he won't get better anytime soon."

Cang Mingze was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he suddenly felt something was wrong. "What does Fu'er mean by that? My brother, the Crown Prince, won't be well anytime soon, how can I be at ease..."

"Alright, your memory is terrible. It's so rude of you to call me Fu'er. I'm your future sister-in-law, you should call me Miss Ying now. Don't forget next time!"

Cang Mingze: "..."

He shut his mouth in annoyance.

Yu Hai stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, this man is about to sink into the latrine. What should we do?"

Under normal circumstances, Yu Hai should have ordered people to go down and rescue people immediately.

Ying Chengting is a fugitive, but there are ways to deal with fugitives. It's really unreasonable for them to watch him drown in a cesspool right in front of them and not help him.

The prince blinked. "What? Someone's in the latrine?"

Yu Hai was taken aback.

Ying Yufu blinked as well: "There's no one in the cesspool, but there is a drowned corpse."

Yu Hai was stunned.

Cang Mingze moved his lips, about to speak, when Ying Yufu said, "Your Highness, you saw it too, didn't you? There's a corpse in the latrine."

Cang Mingze: "..."

"Yes, I saw it too."

From the cesspool: "Help... glug glug..."

Ying Chengting completely sank into despair.

Cang Mingze looked at Ying Hengzhi, his eyes conveying a silent threat.

Ying Hengzhi closed her eyes in silence, her heart filled with a deathly stillness.

Her fingertips trembled slightly as she said, "Yes, my brother had already drowned when we arrived."

Cheng Zhier said, "Commander Yu, that fugitive kidnapped me before, and I had to trick him into coming here to appease him. I was just about to ask my father to report it to the authorities when you arrived. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

After she finished speaking, she had a look of lingering fear, as if she had just escaped a disaster.

Yu Hai gave her a deep look and said, "Miss Cheng has done a great service in capturing the fugitive. I will report this to His Majesty."

Cheng Zhier's face immediately lit up with joy, and she said, "Thank you, Commander Yu. It's all I should do."

Ying Yufu looked at Cheng Zhier suspiciously.

【Xiao Dian, I remember in the precognitive dream, this Cheng Zhier loved Ying Chengting so much that she was willing to force her whole family to support him. Why do I feel like something is not right now?

Could it be that the person in the cesspool wasn't Ying Chengting? Was it actually a stand-in?

Xiao Dian was also confused. [Host, that's definitely Ying Chengting in that cesspool.]

Ying Yufu was even more puzzled.

【Host, I must remind you that your fate has already been largely changed. Once your maternal grandfather and maternal uncle's family return from the border, everything in your precognitive dream will have changed.】

Therefore, some things and some people may deviate from their original course, and you need to be fully prepared mentally.

Ying Yufu immediately understood. It seemed that something had happened to Cheng Zhier, causing her to no longer be devoted to Ying Chengting.

In the end, Qianyu Army managed to get Ying Chengting out of jail.

Looking at the completely submerged corpse, Ying Yufu felt a surge of emotion welling up inside her.

In this life, it was Ying Chengting who drowned in the cesspool.

My brother's fate has changed.

Liao Kong looked up at her, a glint of understanding flashing in his dark eyes.

He finally realized why his family's fate had changed in this life—his sister had also been reborn.

The following day, the Cheng family took the initiative to apologize at the morning court session and offered to dissolve the marriage between their children and the Ying family.

Emperor Cangxuan was magnanimous and said that although the Ying family's crimes should implicate their entire clan, the Cheng family had made contributions to Yunzhou over the years, so their merits and demerits would offset each other and they would not be held accountable.

The Cheng family thus extricated themselves from this turmoil.

After the morning court session, Emperor Cangxuan summoned the Crown Prince to the Imperial Study.

His eyes seemed to see through everything as he asked, "When you arrived, was Ying Chengting really already dead?"

The crown prince said with unwavering certainty, "Absolutely certain."

Upon seeing his expression, Emperor Cangxuan knew that things were probably not as they seemed.

But since things have come to this point, he won't dwell on it.

His expression turned slightly solemn as he said, "The sudden arrival of the Crown Prince of Dongchen Kingdom, the Holy Maiden of the Southern Barbarians, and the successor of the Xuanhuang Sect in our Beixuan is probably not just for sightseeing."

We cannot be careless about the situation at Jade Plate Mountain.

The Crown Prince's expression also turned serious. "Yes, Father, I will take extra precautions."

Emperor Cangxuan said, "Go out and keep a close eye on Jade Plate Mountain. Jade Plate Mountain cannot be lost; many people are watching you."

The prince agreed and turned to leave.

After leaving the palace, the Crown Prince went directly to the Mu residence to find Ying Yufu.

Ying Yufu was also about to go out to find the Crown Prince.

The two met at the main gate.

The system's face-slapping mechanism has been triggered again.

Not long ago—

[Ding! The face-slapping mechanism has been triggered. Host, please protect the Jade Plate Mountain treasure from being stolen by people from other countries.]

The sudden mission caught Ying Yufu off guard.

She almost immediately thought of the friends that Princess Mingluan had brought back.

Jade Plate Mountain cannot be lost, so she had to be in a hurry and thus rushed out the door.
