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

Cang Mingze ordered the Thousand Feather Army to carry the box back.

Yu Hai was also overjoyed, and commanded the Thousand Feather Army to be extremely careful.

Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince stood aside, watching them busy themselves. Ying Yufu whispered, "Your Highness, aren't they going to open it and take a look?"

The prince said, "The box is sealed."

"But that seal was obviously put on later, didn't they notice?"

"If they find out, they'll probably tear it off and take a look," the prince said.

"These robbers were actually quite kind; they even sealed the boxes, as if they were afraid the robbers would open them and see what was inside," Ying Yufu said.

After whispering to each other, the two quieted down and watched them move the boxes.

Cang Mingze walked over with a smug look on his face and said, "Crown Prince, although the treasure was lost, it has now been found, so you don't need to blame yourself too much."

The Crown Prince nodded. "I have never felt guilty." It's just that my conscience is a little aching.

Cang Mingze thought the Crown Prince was really stubborn, but he was the Crown Prince, so let him be stubborn.

"I will put in a good word for you with Father," the Second Prince said again, before turning away with confidence and pride.

As he turned around, he gave Ying Yufu a meaningful look.

Ying Yufu asked the Crown Prince, "Did he just look at me?"

The Crown Prince nodded. "That's right, he looked at you, and I'm a little unhappy about it."

Ying Yufu wondered if the Crown Prince was jealous. Was this what they called male possessiveness in storybooks?

Hmm, that's interesting.

She blinked and said, "It's okay, we'll be even after we all laugh at him."

The crown prince thought about it and was still somewhat angry, but he reluctantly accepted it.

call out--

A cluster of fireworks exploded in the sky, and the blacksmiths who had been pinned down by the Thousand Feather Army looked up and gazed at the sky.

The expressions on their faces suddenly became extremely resolute.

[Ding! Face-slapping mechanism triggered. Host, please save all the assassins in the blacksmith shop.]

The system's voice quickly echoed in my mind.

Ying Yufu's expression changed, fearing it was too late, because she saw the woman in red slightly move her teeth, as if she was about to bite the poison and commit suicide.

She knew that the assassins all had poison sacs hidden in their mouths.

"Wait, wait a minute before you die!"

Ying Yufu shouted and stepped forward, grabbing the woman in red's chin and forcing her mouth to open halfway.

"Don't die yet! Tell me, do you want to go home?"

The blacksmiths turned their heads, their eyes filled with a resolute, deathly intensity, as they looked at Ying Yufu.

But then, a hint of mockery appeared in their eyes.

Upon seeing this, Ying Yufu immediately said, "We will not interrogate, torture, persuade you to surrender, or try to turn you against us. Just don't die yet."

All the blacksmiths looked up at once again.

What did they hear?

How can someone fall into enemy hands and not be interrogated?

Are you kidding me?

The Crown Prince stepped forward and said, "In my name as Crown Prince, I assure you that I will not interrogate you, use torture, persuade you to surrender, or attempt to turn you against yourselves; I will not touch you!"

Cang Mingze glanced over and said, "We can't just leave them like this; we have to get them to confess their accomplices!"

Ying Yufu immediately said, "Don't listen to him. His word doesn't count. The Crown Prince's word counts."

Cang Mingze's eyes darkened. "Fu'er, why do you always go against me?" She clearly still has feelings for him, yet she insists on using this method to get his attention.

Ying Yufu didn't even bother to look at him. She stared at the woman in red and the others, "You even named this blacksmith shop 'Longing for Home,' you must miss your families very much, right? Being a spy isn't easy, is it?"

The woman in red and the others twitched their eyes. A burly man with a bare chest asked warily, "What exactly do you want?"

Ying Yufu said, "Our goal is to keep you alive. After all, only by living can you hope to return to your hometown. If you die, you will have nothing left."

Another burly man said, "Are you deliberately mocking us? We knew from the moment we arrived in Beixuan that we would never be able to go back in this lifetime."

Ying Yufu quickly shook her head: "I'm not mocking you. As long as you're alive, maybe one day we'll really be willing to let you go back."

The woman in red gave a bitter laugh: "We don't care what your purpose is, but even if we don't die now, we won't survive."

We are afflicted with the Half-Moon Gu, and we need to take the antidote every two weeks. Without the antidote, we will die a hundred times more painfully than we are now.

Upon hearing this, the other blacksmiths' eyes all dimmed.

They can't go back.

"etc!"

Seeing that they were about to commit suicide again, Ying Yufu quickly said, "The Half-Moon Gu can be cured, it's easy to cure, trust me."

The woman in red and the other blacksmiths stared at Ying Yufu in astonishment.

These people from Beixuan are really strange!

Ying Yufu said, "Why don't you give it a try? It won't hurt to try."

"Why? Why must we live?" the woman in red asked.

Ying Yufu sighed, "It's not for any particular reason. If you really want to know, it's probably because I'm a kind-hearted girl."

I don't want to see you die far from home; I want to give you some hope.

As for intelligence, we have plenty of channels to obtain it; we won't force you.

Qian Yujun looked at Ying Yufu with a puzzled expression.

What exactly is Princess Anguo's reason?

Is it really because she is a kind-hearted girl?

Ying Yufu sighed softly, "Alas, living is always better than dying. You were all controlled by the Half-Moon Gu, so I suppose you weren't exactly willing to become spies in the first place?"

Ying Yufu continued, "Was that firework just now a signal for you to die? From this moment on, you are dead."

"Can you really remove the curse for us?" a blacksmith asked.

Ying Yufu nodded, "It can be solved, but you have to come back with us."

The blacksmiths exchanged glances, some of them tempted.

"Commander Yu, bring the stretcher," the Crown Prince ordered.

Commander Yu understood immediately and ordered the Thousand Feather Army to bring over the stretcher.

The prince said, "You all lie down and act as corpses."

The blacksmiths exchanged glances and lay down as instructed.

Cang Mingze frowned as he looked at them. The Crown Prince was really too unreliable, actually fooling around with Fu'er.

Father Emperor is so biased. Just because he likes the Crown Prince's birth mother, he spoils the Crown Prince like this.

Several blacksmiths were secretly sent to the imperial prison. Ying Yufu sent someone back to the Mu residence to tell Kong Kong to come over.

Meanwhile, inside the Hall of Diligent Governance, more than a dozen large chests were lined up in a row. The Second Prince was kneeling on one knee, looking spirited as he addressed Emperor Cangxuan:

"Father, I have successfully completed my mission and recovered the lost treasures of Huang An's tomb!"

Upon hearing the news, the assembled ministers' eyes lit up, their gazes fixed intently on the large boxes.

The box itself was made of incredibly precious materials, which shows how valuable the treasure inside was.

"His Highness the Second Prince is truly a blessing to our Northern Xuan, a pillar of our nation!"

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince's successful retrieval of the treasure has truly shown those cowards the might of our Northern Xuan. His Highness has not only demonstrated our sense of responsibility but also reassured the people of the world. This is truly a cause for great joy."

"You flatter me, sirs!" Cang Mingze replied humbly to each of them, his face beaming.

All the ministers smiled broadly, their eyes filled with admiration.

Hai Taifu stood in the crowd with a sullen face, not uttering a word.

Grand Secretary Zheng Liang walked up to Grand Tutor Hai and said meaningfully, "Grand Tutor Hai, congratulations! His Highness the Second Prince is so outstanding; you must be very pleased, right?"
