"Liu Rushuang!"
Lin Xiaofan rushed over to help her, immediately activating the Medical Sage skill.

"Don't bother..." Liu Rushuang weakly shook her head. "I was poisoned before I came... the antidote is in the Crown Prince's hands..."
Lin Xiaofan exclaimed anxiously, "Why?!"
"Because..." Blood trickled from the corner of Liu Rushuang's mouth. "I know too much... The Crown Prince wants me to either kill you tonight... or take my own life..."
Her breathing grew fainter, yet her gaze remained unusually clear. "Lin Daren... I have one request..."
"You say it."
"Buried me on the southern slope of Wangjing Mountain..." Liu Rushuang revealed a hint of a yearning smile. "It’s a place filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers... I never experienced it while I was alive..."
Suddenly, her fingers grasped Lin Xiaofan's sleeve, pressing a bloodstained handkerchief into his hand.
"This is..." Liu Rushuang used her last ounce of strength. "The Crown Prince's blood?!"
Then she slowly closed her eyes.
"System, scan!"
Lin Xiaofan unfolded the handkerchief, revealing only a few drops of dark red blood, which carried a faint fragrance...

Before dawn, the sounds of donkeys braying echoed along Zhuque Street.
"Can this thing really work?" Huo Qubing stood with a dark expression in front of a modified donkey cart, which had a huge brass horn mounted on the front and was painted with "Furious Battle Chariot 001" in red.
Zhuge Liang gently waved his feather fan. "General Huo, rest assured, this was developed by me overnight; it will surely embarrass the Crown Prince."
"But why do I have to wear this..." Huo Qubing looked down at the pink dress he was wearing, veins throbbing at his temples.
Lin Xiaofan patted his shoulder. "This way you can perfectly blend into the 'Flower Skirt Army'! Besides, you look great in women's clothes..."
"Lin Xiaofan!" Huo Qubing grabbed him by the collar, "Once this is over, I want to challenge you to a duel!"
"Boom boom clang! Boom boom clang!"
Ten Furious Battle Chariots lined up, slowly making their way down Zhuque Street. Each vehicle was manned by two burly men from the Flower Skirt Army, banging drums and creating a lively atmosphere.
"The Crown Prince's Mansion is withholding military pay!"
"The False Crown Prince is a true woman; he deserves to die a thousand deaths for deceiving the emperor!"
"Old bald thief, pay up!"
The crowd of onlookers grew larger, voices rising in a chorus of discussion. Suddenly, someone pointed into the distance and shouted, "Look! The carriage from the Crown Prince's Mansion!"
A lavishly decorated carriage turned the corner, its curtains tightly drawn, but a shadow could be seen sitting inside.
"Target spotted!" Lin Xiaofan commanded, "Activate Plan B!"
Huo Qubing whistled, and ten donkeys suddenly charged forward as if fueled by adrenaline, racing toward the carriage of the Crown Prince's Mansion!
"Clear the way! The donkeys are spooked!" Huo Qubing pretended to shout, while secretly guiding the direction of the donkey cart.
Before the carriage driver from the Crown Prince's Mansion could react, they were surrounded. The donkeys seemed determined, braying loudly as they rammed their heads against the carriage.
"Impudence!" The carriage curtain was flung open, revealing the Crown Prince's grim face. "Are you trying to rebel?!"
