Chapter 2481: Chapter 2482: Brother Should Be Happy

Bai Ruozhu nodded, ”His performance doesn’t seem fake, he should be from here. I wonder how he got binded to the system.”

”Probably only he knows, and he definitely won’t tell anyone. But his system is so powerful, we should still be careful.” Gao Zhou spoke.

”I think he might be earning points by doing business, so we need to find a way to cut off his point earnings, or at least reduce them. Without points, he’s powerless. But we’re unfamiliar with this place, and it’s hard to sabotage his business. I haven’t figured out how to stop him from making money.” Bai Ruozhu said.

Jiang Yichun, who had been silent, suddenly smiled and said, ”The Ministry of Justice has the most experience with this, leave it to me, it’ll go unnoticed.”

”Huh?” Bai Ruozhu was slightly caught off guard.

Jiang Yichun smirked, ”For example, if he’s selling wine, just make something dirty appear in his wine. Once his brand is ruined, how can he make money? Of course, if others are brewing wine too, that’s even better. His salt fields can also be destroyed.”

”You’re really so bad.” Tang Feng chuckled.

Jiang Yichun raised an eyebrow, ”Against bad people, we can’t hold back.”

Bai Ruozhu thought of how she was troubled by others when she did business back in the day, and felt somewhat disapproving of this. But considering She Zongyi’s business involves shipbuilding and those who are killed and robbed at sea, stopping him would prevent more harm.

”There’s another way. Little Lan Ying can hear conversations between him and the system, right? She could secretly lurk in places he frequents and listen in more often, perhaps uncovering some secrets.” Gao Zhou suggested.

Bai Ruozhu was a bit worried, ”Wouldn’t it be too dangerous?”

”I think this system can detect our ambushes, yet it hasn’t detected Lan Ying’s ability to hear their conversations. If Lan Ying hadn’t stepped forward, She Zongyi and the system wouldn’t have noticed. Perhaps Lan Ying can infiltrate the Divine Residence with a disguise.” Gao Zhou said, touching his own face, ”I can help her make a human skin mask.”

”But Lan Ying doesn’t speak Fusang Language, how will she blend in?” Bai Ruozhu was still concerned.

”Did you forget how Lingzi did it back then?” Gao Zhou reminded.

Bai Ruozhu thought for a moment and said, ”Let’s play with Lingzi’s approach later. For now, let’s test it near the places he appears, being cautious.”

Everyone discussed for a while, and Jiang Yichun promptly left the palace to find Mo Beishan to begin his plan to sabotage the She Family’s business.

As for Fo Lanying, she agreed right away, while Yuan Licheng was a bit worried. Fo Lanying said, ”That thing is a treasure, maybe I can snatch it. You can’t catch the tiger’s cub without entering the tiger’s den. I’ll be careful.”

”Then I’ll go with you!” Yuan Licheng promptly said.

”No, you still need to set up the array here, don’t mess around. Go if you must, but it’s not easy for anyone to leave.” Fo Lanying immediately opposed, and Yuan Licheng was determined for her safety. Bai Ruozhu quickly intervened, saying, ”This matter doesn’t have to start now. We can wait until the Crown Prince’s poison is neutralized.”

Only then did the two stop arguing.

Due to this, Bai Ruozhu secretly added more Hot Spring Water to the purification process for the Crown Prince each day, to accelerate detoxification.

Because of She Zongyi’s arrival, Bai Ruozhu vaguely felt he wasn’t the one harming the Crown Prince. If those Shadow Guards weren’t trained by him, whose people are they? The Crown Prince’s?

She Zongyi became a demon due to the system, while the Crown Prince is still young. If he can secretly train Shadow Guards, how strong and strategic must he be?

She rubbed her temples and said worriedly, ”What a pity, when confronting She Zongyi, we didn’t ask if he had any connection to the late Empress.”

”Don’t worry, this will be figured out sooner or later. I’ll secretly investigate.” Jiang Yichun said, holding her hand.

During this time, Jiang Yichun often left the palace, spending many consecutive days outside, clearly very busy. Yet, he brought back no clues about Lingzi.

While Bai Ruozhu was worried, she also began to question Lingzi. How did she leave the Posthouse?

A few days passed, leading up to the day Princess Ya’an and Prince Wen De were to formalize their engagement ceremony. On the evening before, Princess Ya’an ran outside the yard gate alone.

Having received Jianqi’s report, Bai Ruozhu thought Princess Ya’an was a pitiful person. As she had once met Princess Ya’an, she went to the entrance to meet her personally.

”I don’t want to go inside, I’ll just watch my brother from the main gate.” Princess Ya’an’s voice was soft but lacked the excitement of an upcoming engagement, even her eyes were red and swollen, likely from crying secretly.

”You can go into the yard and watch from outside the hall.” Bai Ruozhu said.

Princess Ya’an gave Bai Ruozhu a grateful look but hesitated, ”Is there any danger? I’m afraid of affecting my brother’s treatment.”

”No worries, the Emperor and Mr. Shen have both checked the Crown Prince in the yard.” Bai Ruozhu stated while carefully inspecting Princess Ya’an to ensure she carried nothing hazardous.

Fortunately, Princess Ya’an had no dangerous items on her. It seemed the opponent had temporarily quieted down after the last outburst.

”Thank you very much.” Princess Ya’an said sincerely.

Afterwards, Bai Ruozhu led her into the yard to let her watch the Crown Prince within the Main Hall. To ensure Princess Ya’an had a better view, Bai Ruozhu added an extra lamp inside.

”Brother...” Princess Ya’an called out and couldn’t help but start crying. She knew her brother had been harmed and understood she must maintain her royal status to help him, yet she was still reluctant to marry Cousin Wen De. However, seeing the Crown Prince soaked in the Medicine Barrel, her heart wavered no longer.

Her brother looked pale and had grown much thinner. Now, with closed eyes, he looked akin to a dead person.

The Crown Prince slowly opened his eyes upon hearing the noise, and upon seeing Princess Ya’an, his eyes brightened somewhat.

”Sis... Sis.” The Crown Prince was much better, able to utter simple words.

”I’m here, brother. You must recover soon. Tomorrow I will be engaged to Brother Wen De, and when you’re well, you must give me a gift.” The young girl held back her tears, forcing a smile and playfully asking for a gift.

The Crown Prince’s expression remained stiff, but suddenly his face contorted, ”You... can’t!”

Princess Ya’an showed a bright smile, ”I used to say I don’t want to marry into the royal family, but now I’ve realized I can’t abandon you and mother. We can see each other every day in the future. You should be happy, right?”

Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince became agitated. But he struggled to speak, unable to move, and couldn’t release his emotions. His breathing grew heavier and more rapid...
