"Madam, it seems the carriage ahead has hit someone," the driver answered respectfully, with a hint of trepidation in his voice.

놛I am afraid of being punished, even if there is a reason, but it still scares the noble man.

System: [There are melons in the house.]

Qin Ruchu didn't want to get off the car at first because she was too lazy to move. But when she heard about the melon, she seemed to be injected with life and became active instantly. As she got off the car, she asked: "What melon?"

System: [About the prince.]

In the next carriage, the prince, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the system's words. He flashed sharply, opened the curtain, and winked at the guards.

The guard nodded and said to the people around him, "Disperse, everyone disperse."

Those who originally wanted to watch the excitement immediately dispersed and hid far away. How could the excitement be more important than their lives?

The only people left were Qin Ruchu, Tang Yiqian, the crown prince, the people they brought with them, and the people who fell to the ground.

Qin Ruchu pretended to be curious and walked towards the bed, only to see a dirty man lying on the ground. His hair covered his face, so his appearance could not be seen. He was holding a jade pendant in his hand and looking at the prince with sparkling eyes.

Qin Ruchu's eyes flickered between the two of them: "Which one does the prince like?"

No way? The prince is a double plug?

The prince was horrified and said, "I didn't do that. Don't talk nonsense."

Tang Yiqian held his forehead with his hands, wondering what was going on in her mind day by day.

System: "You think too much. We are not in that kind of relationship."

Qin Ruchu: "What kind of relationship is that?"

Prince: "..." Are you guys going around in circles? It's not that I can't open the door, I want to explain it myself.

He was worried, but there was no delay, so he ordered, "Go and help the man up."

"Yes." The guard ran over quickly and helped the man up.

System: "When the prince was not yet a prince, the Dongli Kingdom invaded. The prince, who wanted to kill the enemy in battle, secretly followed the army to fight, and disguised himself as an ordinary soldier to sneak in. On the battlefield, he was almost ambushed. It was the man's father who saved him. In order to repay the favor, he left his jade pendant and told the other party to come to the capital to find him if he had any problems."

Qin Ruchu couldn't help but complain: "You might as well give them some money. Otherwise, after a long time, whether they will recognize the favor is another matter. Besides, this person's home is not in the capital. Do they really want to make a special trip? It's a long way to go. Not to mention spending money, what if they can't help, wouldn't it be a big loss?"

The prince: "..." What a short-sighted man! How can a little bit of money be appreciated? How rare is it to get a favor from the royal family? If it weren't for the fact that the other party saved your life, I wouldn't give it to him.

System: "I thought so, but I was too embarrassed to say it, so I accepted the jade pendant."

Prince: "..." Don't be embarrassed, just say it, I'm very happy to give you the money, really.

Qin Ruchu: "What's going on now? Are you in trouble?"

As she spoke, she measured the man.

After being helped up by the guards, 놛 stared at the prince for a while, then mustered up the courage to walk up to 놛: "Your Highness..."

Before he could finish his words, his voice was already choked with sobs, as if it contained a myriad of grievances.

The prince helped 놛 up and asked in a gentle voice, "Are you Erzhu's child?"

Erzhu, the name of the man who once saved her.

When the man saw that he recognized him, his eyes lit up even more, and he nodded hurriedly, "It's me, Your Highness. Please take me in. I really have nowhere else to go."

System: "Now it is the Dongli Kingdom who massacred Erzhu's village. They accidentally picked up the jade pendant and realized its worthlessness, so they handed it over. They accidentally recognized that the totem on it belonged to the royal family, and the prince was the only son of the emperor who had ever been on the battlefield. They speculated that the jade pendant belonged to the prince, so they found a death warrior, disguised himself as Erzhu's son, went inside, found a chance to get rid of the prince, and let their people replace him. "

Qin Ruchu's heart beat faster: "What does 'replace' mean?"

System: "It's just as you thought. The eldest prince of Dongli Kingdom has a doctor who is good at disguise. We want to have one of our own disguised as the crown prince of this dynasty, and use the fake to replace the real crown prince. When the emperor dies in the future, the throne will be passed to the crown prince. We can get Daxia Kingdom without any soldiers. The man in front of you is the spy we sent out."

Good, very good. The prince turned the ring on his finger with a warm smile on his face. "Look at what you said. Your father saved me. Let alone taking you in, you will be my nephew in the future. My home is your home. I will take care of you on behalf of your father."

The prince was only 22 years old, and the man looked about 15, so it was not appropriate to call him a son, so he was called a nephew.

The man didn't expect the prince to be so easy to fool. He believed everything he said. He said happily, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Qin Ruchu stared at this in a daze, and was extremely anxious: "It's over, it's over, how should I tell the prince that this is a traitor sent by the Dongli Kingdom, who is here to kill me."

System: "Why don't you just give a hint? Everyone here is smart, they will investigate as long as they have suspicions."

A quick search would reveal that the entire family of 놛's benefactor had long been wiped out, not a single one left.

Qin Ruchu thought about it and felt that the system was right. She quietly approached the prince and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Your Highness, should we investigate? What if the token is not yours?" What if you obtained it by improper means?

The prince understood what she said next, and smiled at her with his head tilted. His sharp features softened, "Lord Qin, please let it go. I know what I am doing."

Why would you go to so much trouble? Bring him back to the palace, torture him severely, and are you afraid that he won't confess?

Qin Ru understood what he said and turned around calmly: "Let's go."

Tang Yiqian followed 놛 and left.

The prince said to the man, "You and I will ride in the same carriage."

The man was overwhelmed by the favor, but he was also worried about something. He shrank his head and asked, "Isn't this against the rules?"

"My words are the rules." The prince disagreed and got into the carriage first.

If you don't put it under your eyes, you won't let it go.

"Thank you, Your Highness." The man grinned and said, the prince of Daxia Kingdom is really stupid, but it saves a lot of trouble.
