Joy of Life: The melon-eating prince sees through Fan Xian's fake death

Chapter 1 Please help me, Your Highness, to thoroughly investigate the smuggling case!
"Master Xiao Fan!"

Fan Xian was stabbed in the back by Yan Bingyun, spitting blood and falling heavily to the ground.

Everyone in the delegation wailed, Tiger Guard Gao Da's eyes were wide open with anger, and Wang Qinian burst into tears.

The immortal poet of Daqing died, and everyone expressed sadness or anger, except for a mocking laugh from a sedan chair in the distance, "This play is well acted."

Li Chengqian, who did not reveal his identity as the Crown Prince of Qing, lifted the curtain and leisurely watched the show, thinking to himself that this scene was exactly the same as in the TV drama and he felt like he was really there.

【The melon-eating system is being tested】

【Eat melon: Fan Xian faked his death and escaped】

[Level: Upper middle]

[Reward: Intelligence +10, Acting Skills +10, Cultivation Improved! ]

Li Chengqian was the screenwriter of the TV series Joy of Life. He not only completed the original novel but also participated in the writing of the script.

So when he traveled to this world, he quickly confirmed that this was the film and television version of Joy of Life.

As the name suggests, his melon-eating system allows you to get rewards by eating melons, no matter how big or small.

As small as which palace maid and eunuch had dinner together last night.

As serious as corruption, treason, and deceiving the emperor.
Therefore, Li Chengqian, who was familiar with the plot, rode as fast as he could to the scene of Fan Xian's fake death. Not only did he get to eat the freshest melon, but his cultivation also improved.

Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, resting his head on the tender embrace of the plump maid, and his legs resting on the jade legs of another maid. They sensibly began to massage his temples and relax his thigh muscles.

This was the original owner's common habit, and it could not be changed in a short time, lest others notice something unusual. The third maid, who had nothing to do, took the initiative to hold the curtain for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so that he could watch Fan Xian's "death".

"Hey, in your opinion, is Fan Xian really dead or is he faking his death? There will be a reward for those who guess correctly."

Li Chengqian patted the little maid holding the curtain on her perky buttocks, and the latter trembled and said, "I don't know."

The plump maid who was massaging the prince's acupuncture points replied in a low voice, "Master Xiao Fan has lost so much blood, he must be dead, right?"

"What do you think?"

Li Chengqian gently touched the long-legged maid's lower abdomen with his leg.

She thought for a moment and said slowly, "What you see may not be true. It may just be a trick."

Li Chengqian stood up suddenly, scaring the little maid who was holding the curtain, and the plump maid also lowered her head.

The long-legged maid swallowed her saliva in fear, then realized belatedly that she had said the wrong thing.

Liar?

This is not a scam for ordinary people.

The one who was deceived was the Crown Prince of Qing, the heir apparent of the country.

Deceiving the emperor is a serious crime that can cost you your head!
"You, come over tonight to claim your reward."

Li Chengqian touched the long-legged maid's head, and she was stunned in a daze.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not punish me? Instead, he wanted to reward me? What reward?
The bounty is in the hundreds of millions.

Li Chengqian got off the carriage and went to meet Fan Xian under the protection of a group of expert attendants.

·······
"Master Xiao Fan, did you get burned?"

Yan Bingyun and Wang Qinian worked together from inside and outside.

The former was responsible for creating the illusion of Fan Xian's death.

The latter was waiting in the secret passage beneath the place where Fan Xian was burned.

At this time, Lord Fan in the carriage was covered in dust and dirt, but he was still in high spirits. He was proud of his plan to escape. The three of them praised each other's superb acting skills.

Available in the next second.

Fan Xian turned pale as if he had seen a ghost. Wang Qinian and Yan Bingyun were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and said in unison:
"His Royal Highness!"

Li Chengqian raised his hand, indicating that they did not need to perform such a grand ceremony and should not make any noise.

Wang Yan and the other two tactfully withdrew.

After getting on the carriage, Li Chengqian looked at Fan Xian and joked, "Aren't you dead? Could it be that the person in front of me is the spirit of Fan Shixian?" Fan Xian's mouth twitched.

I didn't expect the prince to find this place.

You can also discover the truth about your fake death.

Could it be that he guessed that the Second Prince would ambush him along the way?

Fan Xian was horrified when he thought about it. Did the Crown Prince know in advance that the Second Prince was going to kill him? Or
Li Chengqian didn't know how Fan Xian had transformed himself, so he laughed and teased:
"Fan Xian, you look so pale, it seems that you are indeed dead and have turned into a spirit. But I believe that Fan Shixian's heroic spirit is still alive, and after his death he will definitely protect our Qing Kingdom and bless the prosperity of the literary world."

Fan Xian then bowed and smiled awkwardly, "Your Highness, please don't make fun of me. I have no other choice but to resort to this desperate measure."

"My escape was not perfect, but it was leak-proof. May I ask how the Crown Prince could tell that I was faking my death?"

Fan Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, observing the prince's every move and guessing his true intentions.

Could it be that the two princes are colluding with each other and want to join forces to kill the person that Your Majesty loves?
Li Chengqian took out a sword from the carriage and suddenly stabbed Fan Xian.

Fan Xian's pupils suddenly shrank and he subconsciously dodged, but because it was too sudden and the distance was too close, he failed to dodge.

It was not until the tip of the sword touched his chest and bounced back like a spring that he realized that this was the elastic sword given to him by his senior brother from the Third Department of the Overwatch Council.

Because Fan Xian was just wondering whether the prince wanted to kill him, he didn't react for a while and thought that the prince had really made a move.
"Isn't this yours? Why are you so nervous?"

Li Chengqian smiled as he casually swung the elastic sword and inserted it into his belt beside him. Some unused blood sprayed out.

"This little thing is quite realistic. Is it human blood?"

At this moment, Li Chengqian had no intention of harming him, but instead saw through all his tricks.

Fan Xian restrained the domineering Qi surging in his body, clasped his fists and begged for mercy as if admitting defeat, "Your Highness, you have good eyesight. It's chicken blood, and they are all tricks to deceive people."

"But these little tricks are nothing to deceive me." Li Chengqian threw away the little thing in his hand, and his tone became particularly solemn and serious, "But if the news of your fake death spreads back to Kyoto, it will be a capital crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Fan Xian's heart skipped a beat.

It's not that he didn't think about the consequences of doing so.

But in order not to go along with the second prince, in order to rescue Teng Zijing and his mother, and to protect his younger brother and teacher.

He has no choice.

Just as Fan Xian was feeling anxious, Li Chengqian grabbed both of his hands.

"Fan Xian, ah Fan Xian, you are a loyal minister of Daqing and a mainstay of the literary world. Although you are not one of my subordinates, you have made so many contributions to Qing. How can I watch you fall?"

"Tell me why the Second Prince wants to kill you, and I will protect you."

Li Chengqian wanted to hear him reveal the second prince's secrets in person.

This is what it means to truly enjoy eating melons.

Old man Fan Xian was very smart. He did not answer the question, but asked first, "How did His Royal Highness guess all this?"

Li Chengqian suppressed the urge to roll his eyes. It was not easy to gain the trust of such a shrewd person.

"My second brother has someone with him. When I learned that Xie Bian had received an order to leave the city and head north, I guessed that he was going to attack you."

"But the Second Prince has always been on good terms with me, why would he suddenly kill me?"

"My second brother is a man of deep thoughts. He never gets along with people at first sight. You were deceived by him."

"."

Between the response and the reply, Fan Xian couldn't come back.

Li Chengqian patted his shoulder to comfort him.

It's okay that you were deceived by him.

And me too.

Fan Xian thought for a moment, then said, "Li Chengze and Li Yunrui conspired together, secretly communicating with the Northern Qi Jinyiwei, smuggling and making money, and plotting something illegal."

"Your Highness, please help me investigate the smuggling case and make the truth known to the public!"
