The system extends my life, and all my husbands want me to be the empress

The two guards were dressed in the Ministry of Justice's iconic black uniforms, with long swords on their waists, and they stood tall with serious expressions.

Their eyes swept over Zheng San indifferently, with a hint of suspicion and disdain, "What are you doing?"

Zheng San ignored their gazes, picked up a notice, and hurried forward, lowering his voice, with a mysterious and anxious look on his face:

"Two guard brothers, I have something important to tell you."

The two guards frowned and looked Zheng San up and down again.

One of them said impatiently: "If you have something to say, say it quickly!"

Zheng San took a deep breath and mustered up his courage and said, "I have evidence of a city lord defecting to the enemy. I hope you two brothers can introduce me to someone so that I can submit the evidence."

When the two guards heard this, they were stunned at first, then looked at each other and burst into laughter.

One of them said with a mocking look on his face: "You dare to say that the city lord has surrendered to the enemy? I think you want to use this as an excuse to get a job!"

Another person also echoed: "Don't talk nonsense here, you are an ignorant fellow. If we really help you, it will ruin our future."

Zheng San hurriedly defended himself: "My two elder brothers, everything I said is true, not a single word is false."

However, the two guards did not listen to his explanation at all. They waved their hands and said, "Go quickly and don't disturb us from drinking."

After that, the two of them started drinking and ignored Zheng San.

Zheng San was helpless and angry. He stood there and refused to leave. He wanted to fight for it again: "Brother Guard..."

At this time, a guard suddenly stood up and shouted angrily: "Get out of here! If you keep pestering me, I'll catch you."

The other person also waved his hands impatiently and said, "Go away! Don't be an eyesore here. We don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

"Hmph!" Zheng San's face turned red in an instant. He clenched his fists and no longer held out hope. He could only leave the inn filled with resentment.

Zheng San, who was extremely angry, kept thinking in his mind how to make the evidence in his hand be believed by the public to the greatest extent and play the greatest and best role.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. When Lu Mu came to Baiyang City to join the army, he had heard that Princess An Ning Lin Wanwan had a grudge against Ye Zhan. Perhaps she would believe him.

Thinking of this, Zheng San walked towards Princess An Ning's Mansion without hesitation.

……

In Princess An Ning’s mansion.

The late summer sun shines into the courtyard, and the breeze brings a hint of coolness.

At this moment, Fen Tao hurried over to report: "Princess, Song Tingli's painting is almost finished."

Lin Wanwan was wearing a light pink silk dress, sitting leisurely on a rocking chair in the courtyard, with a comfortable smile on her face:

"It's time to let them take a break. Call all ten beauties here."

"Yes." Fen Tao responded and left.

Lin Wanwen glanced at Ye Lan on the tree and said with a smile, "Ye Lan, come down and play some games together."

Ye Lan leaped forward and saluted: "Yes."

Hua Yu came over and asked: "What game does the princess want to play with them?"

Lin Wanwan smiled faintly: "Just do it casually."

After a while, six people were standing in front of Lin Wanwan: Hua Yu, Ye Lan, Wu Wenyun, Shan Yingcheng, Gu Jiazhuo, and Song Tingchu.

Lin Wanwan suggested enthusiastically: "Okay, this is a rare opportunity, let's play hide-and-seek with our eyes covered.

Whoever is caught will be punished."

The six young officials on the side were ugly, they had nothing to play with, and they were extremely jealous.

"Isn't it just that she looks better than us?"

"The princess won't even play with us."

"The princess doesn't usually summon us, this is such a great opportunity."

"That's right, I really want to be caught by the princess. I will definitely be the first one to rush over and hug the princess."

Gu Jiazhuo, Wu Wenyun and Song Tingchu all smiled.

Gu Jiazhuo: "Princess... come and catch me."

Wu Wenyun: "Princess, I'm standing right here."

Song Tingchu: "Princess, their paintings are not finished yet, you must catch me first."

Lin Wanwan's gaze fell on Shan Yingcheng, only to see that he remained silent.

Hua Yu asked the key question: "Princess, what is the punishment?"

Lin Wanwan covered her eyes with a smile and explained slowly:

"Punishment means telling the truth.

To speak the truth means to answer the questions raised by this princess truthfully. "

Ye Lan said seriously, "Princess, what if you lie? It won't be discovered."

Lin Wanwan just lifted the cloth again, looked at them and said, "Look around, what can you see?"

"people."

"Flowers and plants?"

"Tree?"

"House?"

"Decorative objects?"

Lin Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "So, people can always see these things, so they think that the invisible things don't exist."

Hua Yu asked: "What is invisible?"

Lin Wanwan turned her head slightly to look at him, with a faint smile on her lips, confident and calm:

“Everything in the world is half visible and half invisible. This may be the so-called yin and yang.

Heaven, earth, people, ghosts and gods.

Heaven and earth can see it, but ghosts and gods cannot.

Naturally, everyone feels that something exists when it is visible.

Are those things that are invisible really gone?"

After hearing this, everyone continued to listen attentively and silently.

Lin Wanwan glanced at everyone and continued, "So, it's hard for people to tell whether someone is lying or not.

However, humans are merely between heaven, earth, ghosts and gods. There are things that humans cannot know, but ghosts and gods can know immediately.

This is why lying always makes you feel uneasy, fearing that others may spy on you.

This princess has already said that she will speak the truth.

Whoever tells a lie has a guilty conscience!

The ghosts and gods will naturally not let him go, they are very powerful and will come to look for you in the middle of the night."

Everyone's faces turned serious for a moment.

When Hua Yu listened to these stories about ghosts and gods, he suddenly thought of Bai Xi from Yunwang Pavilion.

He smiled and asked casually, "Princess, who told you these stories about ghosts, gods, and immortals?"

Lin Wanwan said, "I read it in a book. Doesn't it say that a gentleman does not deceive in secret?"

Hua Yu blinked when he heard that, then smiled softly and said, "Then Princess, Hua Yu will stay aside and give them some opportunities."

Lin Wanwan nodded, covered her eyes again, and said with a smile: "Okay. Hua Yu, you watch them, don't let them cheat."

Hua Yu smiled and said, "Princess, who do you want to catch the most?"

"Shan Yingcheng."

Hua Yu still had a smile on his face.

Games start.

Lin Wanwan covered her eyes and groped in the air with her hands.

The other five people scattered and dodged carefully.

Fen Tao laughed and said, "Madame Li, with such a good opportunity, these young officials will definitely rush to pounce on the princess."

Nanny Li smiled and said, "Who says it's not true?"

However, to their surprise, these handsome men usually tried every means to get close to Lin Wanwan.

At this moment, they were all agile and dodged cleverly many times. Lin Wanwan was about to grab their hands again and again.

Nanny Li and Fen Tao were watching from the side, becoming more and more surprised. They had thought that everyone would rush to Lin Wanwan in an effort to get close to her, but they had not expected this to happen.

Nanny Li whispered to Fen Tao, "This is really strange. In the past, they were eager to get close to the princess, but today they are all hiding far away."

Pink Peach also agreed: "Yeah. How strange."

Ye Lan said leisurely, "Princess, you can't catch me like this."

When Lin Wanwan heard this, she was a little angry because she had been trying to catch anyone for a long time. She tore off the cloth strip, took a few steps forward, grabbed Ye Lan's collar, and whispered in his ear:

"Send two people to Ye Zhan's residence to keep an eye on him and don't let him leave Kyoto City."

Ye Lan bowed: "Yes, Princess."

After saying that, Ye Lan left the courtyard, selected two agile guards, and hurried away.

……

At the same time, Zheng San arrived at the gate of Princess An Ning's mansion and walked forward.

The servant at the door saw the person coming, looked Zheng San up and down, and asked in a cold tone, "Who are you?"

Zheng San quickly bowed and said, "I am Zheng San, and I have something important to discuss with the princess. Please let her know."

The servant frowned and said, "You can't see the princess whenever you want. Tell me what you want to see. I'll let you know."

Zheng San said anxiously, "Then please inform the princess that I have evidence of a city lord collaborating with the enemy and I must present it to the princess in person."

The servant hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Come with me. You should go in and talk to me in person about this matter."

Zheng San followed the servant through the winding corridor and came to the east courtyard.

At this time, Lin Wanwan blindfolded herself again and the game continued. Hua Yu saw Ye Lan leaving and stood aside. She secretly picked a leaf behind her, waited for the right moment, and hit Shan Yingcheng behind the knee.

Shan Yingcheng was about to easily avoid Lin Wanwan's capture, but was hit on the leg by Hua Yu's leaf. His knees went soft and he couldn't run away for a while, so he was caught by Lin Wanwan.

"Wow! I finally caught one. Let me see which lucky little beauty it is!"

Lin Wanwan was extremely happy. She held onto Shan Yingcheng's sleeve with one hand and tore off the blindfold with the other.

"Shan Yingcheng! What good luck! I can catch whoever I want."

The other three people couldn't help laughing when they saw Shan Yingcheng's embarrassed look, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Wanwan said in a tender voice: "Truthfully, you must answer well."

Shan Yingcheng hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and nodded vigorously: "Princess, please ask."

Lin Wanwan was about to say something when she heard the servant beside her report: "Princess, this person said he wants to see you for something important."

Lin Wanwan let go of Shan Yingcheng's hand, her eyes fell on Zheng San, she frowned slightly and asked:

"Who are you? What brings you to the Princess's Mansion?"

Zheng San hurriedly stepped forward, took out a piece of evidence wrapped in silk cloth from his arms, handed it to Lin Wanwan with both hands, and said:

"My Lady, I, Zheng San, have accidentally obtained evidence of City Lord Ye Zhan's betrayal to the enemy, and I have come to present it to you."

Lin Wanwan's eyes became bright and deep when she heard this, and when she narrowed her eyes slightly, a cautious light flashed in her eyes.

She took the evidence, opened the silk cloth, and read it carefully.

As she read deeper, her expression became more and more solemn. She glanced at the four male favorites in front of her and said in surprise, "This... this is true."

"Princess, this matter is absolutely true. I hope you can hand it over to the Ministry of Justice on my behalf." Zheng San said.

Lin Wanwan pondered for a moment and said, "Zheng San, you have done a great deed by submitting the evidence this time. If this can be accomplished, I will not treat you unfairly and will give you the benefits you deserve."

After hearing this, Zheng San felt relieved and immediately knelt down to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Princess."

Lin Wanwan looked solemn, and once again scanned the different expressions of the crowd. Finally, she looked at Zheng San firmly and said slowly:

"Zheng San, you will rest in the Princess's Mansion tonight. Tomorrow morning, I will take you to the Ministry of Justice to hand in the evidence. This matter is of great importance and must not be taken lightly."

Zheng San was overjoyed when he heard this, and he immediately bowed and responded respectfully: "Thank you, Princess. Zheng San will be careful."

"Fen Tao, take him downstairs and arrange a room for him."

Pink Peach saluted: "Yes."

After saying that, Fen Tao took Zheng San to the guest room to rest.
