Joy of Life: Rebirth of the Second Prince, Inviting Emperor Qing to Die

Chapter 285 Entering the Palace to Discuss Cooperation

In the imperial study room.

As usual, Emperor Qing sat at his desk reviewing memorials before going to bed.

As he put down the brush in his hand, he sighed slowly.

"It seems that the position of the new crown prince will temporarily go to the second brother."

After Emperor Qing finished speaking, he looked at the memorial.

This memorial contains a list of names of civil and military officials in the court.

The people on the original list were all those that Emperor Qing had intended to keep for Li Chengqian.

When he ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future, he can make good use of these court officials.

Unfortunately, there are unforeseen circumstances.

Li Chengqian’s death directly disrupted his plans.

Now there is no need to keep the people on the list anymore, so they can only be given to the second in command, Li Chengze.

Things have come to this point, and even if he is extremely unwilling, there is nothing he can do.

Forget it, let’s just take one step at a time.

Let’s solve the problem at hand first.

Because in recent days, all the civil and military officials in the court have claimed to elect a new crown prince.

And the candidates were surprisingly unanimous, all of them supported Li Chengze to be the new crown prince.

Emperor Qing naturally knew that there must be someone behind this.

However, now that things are squeezed together and it is almost suffocating, there is no time to care about those people behind the scenes.

It is precisely because of this that Emperor Qing has no choice but to do this.

Emperor Qing put down the memorial, rubbed his eyebrows, and stood up from the stool.

It’s almost time now, let’s go back to the bedroom and have some sleep.

All in all, he hasn't had a nap for more than ten days.

Just as Emperor Qing stood up, a middle-aged eunuch walked in quickly.

The eunuch swung his whisk, walked up to Emperor Qing, and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, there are guests visiting outside."

"Hmm?" Emperor Qing frowned slightly, patted his robe, and asked, "What guest?"

"It's almost late at night, who would come here?"

"No, just say I'm going to bed."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The middle-aged eunuch nodded in agreement, turned around and left.

Emperor Qing straightened his robe and walked out of the room.

At this moment, he suddenly turned around and snorted, "Who?"

"You are so brave, you dare to break into the palace at night, you are risking your life!"

Following Emperor Qing's cold snort, a figure walked out from the shadows beside him.

The figure was wearing a black robe and a black cloak, standing in front of Emperor Qing.

"Your Majesty, it's me."

The figure took off his cloak, revealing Fan Xian.

After Emperor Qing glanced at Fan Xian, he put his hands behind his back and said, "I know it's you!"

"I am asking you why you suddenly appear here?"

In fact, Emperor Qing already knew from just now that someone had sneaked into the imperial study.

No matter what, he is a hidden grandmaster who can immediately sense when someone appears next to him.

But he didn't understand why Fan Xian would sneak into the palace in the middle of the night?

However, Emperor Qing thought about it again and knew what was going on.

Now that the outside world thinks that Fan Xian is dead, it is naturally impossible for him to escape during the day.

If someone finds out, it will cause a lot of trouble.

Emperor Qing said, "Tell me, why did you come to see me?"

Fan Xian said, "Your Majesty, I am here to discuss cooperation."

"Cooperation?" Emperor Qing laughed and said, "You want to discuss cooperation with me?" "Then I would like to hear what you want to cooperate with me on?"

Fan Xian added: "Your Majesty, before we talk about cooperation, I have something I want to ask you."

Emperor Qing turned around and walked a few steps, then sat down at the table next to him, waving his hand and saying, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Fan Xian then began to speak: "May I ask Your Majesty, why were you not surprised when you saw me just now?"

"Could it be that Your Majesty already knew that I am not dead?"

When Fan Xian saw Emperor Qing just now, he found that the other party's expression was very strange.

Logically speaking, except for his father Fan Jian, his master Fei Jie, and Dean Chen Pingping, no one else knows that he is not actually dead.

Oh, and add Fan Ruoruo and Versace.

Apart from these, there shouldn't be anyone else who knows about this.

However, when he saw Emperor Qing just now, he noticed something strange in the other's eyes.

It was as if Emperor Qing had already known that he had faked his death.

It was precisely because of this that Fan Xian did not see any expression on Emperor Qing’s face just now.

the most important is,

He had never told Emperor Qing about his fake death before.

In this way, wouldn't it be a crime of deceiving the emperor?
Emperor Qing said: "So this is what you want to ask."

"That's right. I knew long before that you were not dead."

"Don't forget, this is Qing Kingdom, nothing can be hidden from me!"

"Also, you don't have to think that this matter will constitute the crime of deceiving the emperor. I pardon you."

After hearing Emperor Qing's answer, Fan Xian finally felt relieved and said, "Your Majesty, I came here this time just to discuss cooperation with you."

"Because I was not the one who killed the prince."

"But I already know who it is."

"What?" Emperor Qing was obviously very surprised at Fan Xian's words, and quickly looked up at him.

Emperor Qing has indeed come to believe that Li Chengqian was not killed by Fan Xian, but that the real murderer is someone else.

However, Emperor Qing did not expect that Fan Xian actually knew the murderer?

"Do you know who did it?"

Fan Xian nodded and said, "Yes, I do know who it is."

"It's just that due to some reasons, I can't tell Your Majesty for the time being."

"However, I am willing to join forces with Your Majesty to deal with this murderer."

Originally, Fan Xian did intend to tell Emperor Qing about the murderer.

But then he thought of something else and gave up the idea.

If we tell Emperor Qing now, the murderer of the crown prince is actually the second prince Li Chengze.

Not only that, even everything that happened before was planned by him.

Let’s not talk about whether Emperor Qing will believe it.

Secondly, he had no evidence to support what he said.

It can't be said that the second prince Li Chengze traveled from another world.

Why do I know this?

Because I am also a time traveler.

If you really say that, you will definitely be considered a psychopath.

Therefore, Fan Xian can now reveal the murderer to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

At this time, Emperor Qing looked at Fan Xian in front of him and thought, "Are you... kidding me?"

You know the murderer but you won’t tell me?
So what is going on!
Fan Xian said, "As long as Your Majesty is willing to believe me, you will naturally know whether what I just said is true or false."

"If you don't want to believe it, just pretend that I haven't been here tonight."

As soon as these words came out.

Emperor Qing just looked at Fan Xian straight in silence.
