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

Geng Chun hesitated for a moment and looked at King Qinjiang.

Prince Qinjiang shook his head: "No, we can't steal money. Stealing water and food is fine. If we steal anything valuable, the owner will report it to the authorities, and we'll be in trouble if they investigate."

Jiang's expression changed slightly; this was so troublesome.

"Geng Chun, tonight, go and steal some food and water. If we hold out for a few days, we might run into people from the capital."

"Yes, Your Highness," Geng Chun replied, clasping his hands in a gesture of respect.

That night, Ying Yufu and her group did not rush on their journey, but instead slept at the Yue Lai Inn, planning to continue their journey early the next morning.

"We estimate that we will encounter King Qinjiang's group soon. At that time, we will hand over Jiang Mingrui and Jiang Mingzhu to them."

The Crown Prince spoke to Ying Yufu.

Ying Yufu said, "The Prince of Qinjiang sent them back to the capital ahead of time to win His Majesty's favor, and even went so far as to send people to rob them of their belongings. It's really... bizarre."

The Crown Prince chuckled lightly: "When Prince Qinjiang sees that his two children, whom he arranged to return to the capital, have been sent back to his side, hahaha, his transformation will definitely be quite spectacular."

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it too." Ying Yufu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xiao Dian hesitated for a moment, then finally couldn't help but say, "Host, King Qinjiang and his group have arrived. They're currently in Yonghe Town."

what?

Ying Yufu was taken aback. "They're being incredibly discreet. We haven't found any trace of Prince Qinjiang along the way."

Logically speaking, even if Prince Qinjiang were to keep a low profile when returning to the capital, there should still be some pomp and circumstance.

Shouldn't we at least bring guards?

But they didn't see it at all after they arrived in Yonghe Town.

The crown prince also looked surprised.

At this moment, the voice of the Tianlong System sounded again.

[Ding! System task triggered. King Qinjiang's entire protective force has been robbed by bandits from Qiongya Mountain. King Qinjiang is now weak and alone in Yonghe Town.]

Please take this opportunity to assassinate the Prince of Qinjiang. This man is restless and plots a rebellion. Kill him now, then feign revenge to consolidate your power in Qinjiang.

The crown prince remained silent.

At the same time, Xiao Dian also said: "Host, King Qinjiang has rebellious intentions. They encountered bandits and their subordinates were robbed. Killing him now would be a good opportunity."

If King Qinjiang is killed now, in order to eliminate any potential threats, his heir and princess should also be spared.

Ying Yufu fell silent.

At this moment, the Heavenly Dragon System spoke to the Crown Prince again: "Host, what are you hesitating about? Although killing Prince Qinjiang now carries a certain risk of exposure, it is truly the best time to kill him."

Ying Yufu said to Xiao Dian: "Xiao Dian, you didn't give me a system task, which means this isn't an absolutely necessary task."

Whether or not to kill Prince Qinjiang, I need to ask the Crown Prince.

Because the Prince of Qinjiang once saved Your Majesty's life, and we have no evidence to prove that he is plotting a rebellion, we cannot take action at this time.

It's not that we're being soft-hearted or merciful, but... what will His Majesty think?

Little Madman: [Whatever you say, host.]

At the same time, the Crown Prince finally said to the Heavenly Dragon System: "Even if he has rebellious intentions, he has saved the life of the Emperor. The Emperor remembers his old friendship with him, not only because of the life-saving grace, but also because of the camaraderie they shared when they followed the late Emperor to conquer the world."

Perhaps he truly harbors rebellious intentions, but there is currently no evidence. Even if he is to be killed, there must be conclusive evidence, and the Emperor himself must commit suicide.

Assassination? I won't do that.

Tianlong System: [Holy crap! Host, you're deliberately going against me, aren't you?!]

The Crown Prince ignored the Heavenly Dragon System and looked at Ying Yufu, who in turn looked at him.

"Your Highness, the divine artifact says that King Qinjiang is currently in Yonghe Town, and his men have been kidnapped by bandits. Should we rescue him?"

[Save me?!] The Heavenly Dragon System shrieked, [Host, what kind of saintly parents are you two, so soft-hearted... How did I choose you as my host!]

The Heavenly Dragon System is crashing! [I can't stand you guys anymore! I really can't stand you guys anymore...]

The Tianlong System was filled with regret; it was blind to have bound itself to a host like the Crown Prince.

He doesn't do any tasks, he doesn't listen to anything, and so far, he hasn't earned a single point...

The crown prince suddenly felt a violent, burning sensation in his head, as if a ball of fire was burning him painfully.

The Crown Prince couldn't help but show pain on his face. Ying Yufu, seeing this, couldn't help but change her expression slightly. "Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?"

Just as Tai Zheng was about to speak to comfort Ying Yufu, he saw a figure suddenly appear beside him.

With the appearance of this figure, the prince's headache disappeared.

She ignored the extra figure beside her and first comforted Ying Yufu, saying, "Fu'er, don't worry. I had a bit of a headache just now, but I'm fine now."

"Are you really alright?" Ying Yufu grabbed his wrist and took his pulse.

She was relieved only after confirming that he was indeed alright.

【Oh!】

The suddenly appearing dark figure sneered, its tone full of mockery.

"You two seem quite affectionate," the shadowy figure sneered.

The crown prince looked up at the figure and found that it was a tall young man.

He had the youthful face of a twenty-year-old, yet he exuded an air of world-weariness.

He was dressed in a black dragon robe, wearing an imperial crown, with a handsome face and an overly majestic demeanor.

The crown prince looked him up and down, and mentally exclaimed: [System?]

[Hmph! It's this system, you rebellious host, who has forced this system to reveal itself and advise you!]

The young man, who had been systematized, looked resentful.

The Crown Prince glanced at Ying Yufu, but seeing that she didn't react, he assumed she couldn't see the young man.

Meanwhile, Xiao Dian asked in confusion, "Where did this huge resentment come from... *sizzle* *sizzle*"

Ying Yufu blinked blankly: [Resentment? I didn't sense anything, Xiao Dian, have you encountered a ghost? A system's vengeful ghost?]

[Buzz—Buzz buzz buzz—Host, you're right...Buzz—]

Tianlong System: [...]

His face was practically radiating black smoke, and his eyes were filled with resentment as he stared in Ying Yufu's direction.

Ying Yufu naturally couldn't see him.

The crown prince tried hard to force a smile.

The Tianlong system went berserk and jumped out of the window.

Shortly after, their door was pounded on.

Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince were startled and exchanged a glance.

The crown prince's brow twitched, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

Ying Yufu went to open the door with a fierce expression.

She flung the door open and demanded fiercely, "Who are you looking for?"

A young man in black was standing outside.

He wore a solid black robe and a black jade crown on his head.

His eyes were like a cloud of black mist.

The whole person looked dark and gloomy.

In addition, the man looked irritable, and Ying Yufu's attitude was also very bad.

The Heavenly Dragon System pointed at the Crown Prince and said, "I'm looking for him!"

It was accompanied by a grinding sound.

Ying Yufu couldn't help but look at the Crown Prince with a worried expression.

Could this be someone seeking revenge against the Crown Prince?

Their commotion was quite loud, immediately attracting people from other rooms as well.

Yu Li, Shangguan Fei, and the others came out on high alert, armed with weapons.
