Chapter 301 The Qin Family's descendants are poisonous
The place they arrived at became increasingly remote and deserted.
Soon they came to a secluded place where there were several spider webs hanging on the doorposts.
The big yellow dog and the lone wolf jumped in familiarly. Not long after, there was a creaking sound from behind the door as if the bolt was pushed or pulled. A moment later, a door on the left was hooked open by the big yellow dog's claws.
Dog hair, bone fragments, and nests of cloth can be seen everywhere, which is enough to prove that this place has been occupied by small animals for a long time.
The big yellow dog led everyone to the dry well, and then barked at the well:
"Mengbao, it's right here. I saw him go in with my own eyes."
Yuan Ruan immediately pulled the emperor and pointed at the dry well: "Father, there seems to be something strange in it."
The emperor nodded slightly and waved his hand, and the palace guards came forward to pick it up.
Yuanruan: [Tong'er, do you see anything? ]
System: [Tsk tsk… There are human bones in here. Ah, one of them was a maid who used to be in Yilan Palace. Ah Ruan, the truth is, this maid slept with Xue Bandu, who was the second prince’s companion. When the second prince was driven out of the palace, Xue Bandu was also driven out.]
Yuan Ruan showed a look of astonishment: [The second prince's tutor slept with a palace maid. Hmm... I actually think that it's not so strange for the second prince's tutor to do this.]
System: [Hahaha, I understand, what goes around comes around. ]
The emperor's eyebrows moved: ...
The Crown Prince, the eldest princess, and the seventh princess held their breath and dared not touch the Emperor's head.
Yuan Ruan touched his chin: [But this Xue Bandu is even worse than the Second Prince. He ran away after sleeping with her. Not only that, he even killed his own son. Really...]
System: [He didn't kill his own child. After he and the maid had sex, the maid thought she was pregnant because she had gained weight, and she didn't react until she was about to give birth. After the child was born, Xue Bandu didn't dare to bring the child back openly, so he and the maid found this place temporarily to secretly raise the child, preparing to find an opportunity to smuggle the mother and daughter out.]
Yuanruan: [Ah? You are so brave? What will happen next?]
System: [Xue Bandu accidentally discovered that there was a way out of the palace behind this dry well. He wanted to use it, but he didn't know that this way had already been taken by Qin Fu. Qin Fu killed the three people after he found out that they had accidentally entered the palace. Later, this way was also abandoned by Qin Fu... Hiss, this Qin Fu is so insidious.]
Yuan Ruan had already frowned when he heard this, and when he saw the system sighing, he couldn't help but ask: [How do you say that!]
System: [After Qin Fu killed Xue's tutor, he asked his cousin to visit the Xue family and said that Xue's tutor was killed because of the second prince. The Xue family, who had long been in decline, had no idea what happened in the court, and believed it to be true. They have a grudge against your brother and are now helping Qin Fu hide some things.]
Yuanruan: [How pitiful! ]
The emperor's face darkened.
The prince clenched his fists.
At this time, the palace guards tied with ropes came up from the bottom of the well, knelt down and saluted, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I found the bodies of three people down there."
System: [This palace guard was so frightened, probably because she found the bodies of a man and a child, and knew it was related to the chaos in the harem, and she was afraid that your brother would silence her.]
Yuan Ruan: [Tong'er, my brother is not that cruel.]
The prince pursed his lips and glanced at his silent father. Seeing his father raise his hand slightly and then drop it again, the prince breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "Verify your identity and give me an explanation within three days."
The palace guard's voice suddenly became more energetic and he said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Yuan Ruan: [Hehe, I said that my brother is not that cruel. I suspect that my brother is a wise ruler, but he was deliberately stigmatized by the way of heaven.]
The system looked at the vines that were more complicated than spider webs and the countless colorful melons hanging on them. It was silent for a while and said hesitantly: [Yes...right.]
Yuanruan had no idea of the system's entanglements.
She rubbed her hands: [Unexpectedly, Qin Fu's conspiracy was exposed. I should give credit to the hero Big Dog and Lone Wolf. Oh, by the way, I have to show their contributions in detail.]
Thinking of this, Yuan Ruan immediately took out his turtle shell, then pointed at the big yellow dog and the lone wolf, and then pointed at the dry well.
Wait until the emperor and the prince bow their heads at the same time.
Yuan Ruan touched the turtle shell in a pretentious manner and said, "Father, Crown Prince, the big yellow dog and the lone wolf have made great contributions."
The emperor and the crown prince stared at Yuan Ruan's acting leisurely.
Yuan Ruan: "Finding the murderer and the relatives of the corpse can increase the fortune of Xia country."
The emperor and the prince were stunned:?
Um?
Did they just miss some conversation?
How can it increase the national fortune? Could it be that this pile of bones triggered the national fortune mission?
The system also asked: [Ah? Ah Ruan? How did you increase the fortune of Xia Kingdom? I didn’t see any points-earning tasks. ]
Yuan Ruan: [Oh. The murderer of the corpse is Qin Fu, who is currently the leader of the rebellion in Daxia. It will definitely be good for Daxia if we catch him. He hid everything in the Xue family. If we take out the information hidden by the Xue family, it will weaken the rebel forces, and the national fortune will also increase.]
System: [This... Ah Ruan is right! However, Qin Fu is very cautious. He has many holes. I don't think he can find it this time. As for the information hidden in the Xue family, well, it's not very important.]
Yuanruan: [Ah? How do you say that?]
The emperor and the prince looked over at the same time.
System: [Qin Fu didn’t trust the Xue family very quickly, so he only gave them some documents and asked them to be responsible for the descendants of King Qin Xin who were hiding their identities and doing some dirty and tiring work such as running errands.]
The emperor narrowed his eyes.
Yuan Ruan: [Descendants of King Xin of Qin? Then they will all be wiped out, right?]
System: [It’s impossible. The descendants of King Qin Xin took concubines, made babies, took concubines, and gave birth to babies... Now, King Qin Xin’s descendants are almost over a hundred people. ]
The emperor and the prince almost vomited blood.
Yuan Ruan's pupils trembled: [What did you say?! More than a hundred people? This number should also include their biological mother, right?]
Even if we include the biological mother and remove half of them as much as possible, the number is still exaggerated.
The system naturally answered: [Of course not. ]
Crowd: !!!
Yuan Ruan's pupils trembled: [Why are they trying so hard to give birth? Just to give birth to a completely loyal army to rebel?! Isn't it too much for them to do it themselves?!]
emperor:……
The prince was also embarrassed for a moment and was almost laughed at by Yuanruan's complaints.
System: [Hahaha, Ah Ruan is really smart. They think similarly. They think that if they have many sons, one of them will be successful, rebel arrogantly, and then revive the family and take back everything.]
Yuanruan let out a "pu" sound and coughed repeatedly.
The emperor almost couldn't maintain his stern expression.
The prince couldn't control his expression. He patted Yuan Ruan's back and tried hard to activate his masseter muscles to prevent himself from laughing out loud.
Yuan Ruan finally took a breath and said in shock: "Tong'er, you are right. You mean they have so many children in the hope of increasing the chances of winning the lottery and then usurping the throne? How outrageous?!"
System: [Yes, and there is a very funny dialogue in this melon. ]
Yuanruan became interested: [How do you say it? ]
The prince and the emperor also looked over.
System: [Qin Fu was speechless when he heard his cousin's plan to have a child, and then said to his cousin, 'It's useless to have a child. Even if the child really becomes a successful person, they are all old.' Qin Fu's original intention was that it would take too long, and your brother's throne would be more stable, so it would be too late for him to have a child who becomes a successful person. As a result, the cousin replied, 'Don't worry, although we are old and have to give way to the throne, we can still be the emperor.']
The emperor took a deep breath.
Yuan Ruan spit out saliva all over the prince's face.
The prince also wanted to laugh, so he took the opportunity to wipe his face with a handkerchief and laughed out loud: "What are you laughing at, Jiuer? It made me laugh too."
Yuan Ruan: [Oh my God. The rebellion hasn't even started yet. He has already been assigned a position.]
System: [Yes. And there must be a phoenix next to the sleeping dragon.]
Yuanruan became more interested: [Ha, what do you mean?]
