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

Chapter 18: Start the pursuit and date Fan Ruoruo

"Did he really say that?"

Fan Ruoruo held her cheeks with both hands, feeling a slight heat and her face flushed.

Fan Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "The imperial edict is about to come down, how could this be false?"

Fan Ruoruo pouted in confusion, "When did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince begin to admire me? Why didn't I notice it before?"

Think for a moment.

Fan Ruoruo recalled that she had taken the initiative to go to the prince and said that she would provide him with information about Fan Xian's every move.

Pretend to surrender.

“Did it start from that time?”

Fan Ruoruo suddenly remembered that when she was talking to the prince in Yannian Hall, she saw him painting a picture of a faceless beauty. "Brother, do you remember what I told you, that the prince once painted a picture of a beauty but didn't paint her face? At that time, I thought it was Si Lili, but it seems that I guessed wrong. Who is it?"

"It can't be me, right?"

Fan Ruoruo thought hard and thought it was impossible.

Fan Xian looked at his sister with a smile, waiting for Ruoruo to give him an answer so that he could pass it on to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told me that he just stopped this marriage for you. Whether you get married or not depends on your own wishes."

Fan Ruoruo was a little surprised, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is so reasonable? If so."

Seeing his sister hesitate, Fan Xian probably understood what she was thinking, "It's okay."

"If you don't like it, I'll go talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He won't blame you."

Fan Xian stood up.

But Fan Ruoruo grabbed him:
"Brother, did I say no?"

Fan Xian smiled and asked, "Do you agree?"

Fan Ruoruo pursed her lips and said in a quirky way: "Let me think about it again."

It seems that it was Li Chengqian's change that made Ruoruo interested in him, Fan Xian thought.

It seems that it is not impossible to make the prince become his brother-in-law!

"Ruoruo, if you give me an answer after careful consideration, I will go and deal with Fan Sizhe."

"What's up with him?"

"He got into trouble. I wanted to beat him to death."

Fan Ruoruo's eyes lit up as if they had telepathy, "I've wanted to do this for a long time, brother, I'll help you!"

Fan Xian: “.”

The Second Prince's Mansion.

Fan Wujiu returned from Shijia Town and reported to Li Chengze:

"I evacuated those who needed to be evacuated, and I killed those who needed to be killed. Finally, I set a fire to destroy the bodies and burn all the information in the house."

"Is it burned clean?"

Li Chengze recalled the fire case that Li Chengqian had told him about before he welcomed the eldest prince into the city.

I always feel that things are not that simple.
Fan Wujiu said confidently: "The whole house was burned to ashes, leaving no useful information. Even the people I killed were burned to charcoal."

Li Chengze confirmed again: "Did you see it clearly?"

Fan Wujiu nodded: "When the man was carried out by the prince's men, he was burnt beyond recognition."

Li Chengze narrowed his eyes and said, "If he doesn't look like a human, then we can't be sure if he was the one who was killed."

If the prince was moved out before the body was completely burned, traces of the murder would remain.

Could it be a trick?

"I hope I'm worrying too much."

Li Chengze was becoming more and more wary of the prince's methods, and he could not leave even the slightest clue for him. "Fan Wujiu, help me deal with the matter of Baoyue Tower, including keeping an eye on Fan Xian's brother!"

"Yes."

Fortunately.

Before the Second Prince takes action.

Fan Xian sent his brother to Northern Qi, otherwise Fan Sizhe would become a handle for Li Chengze to control the Fan family, which would inevitably cause great harm.
After dawn, Fan Xian went to the Supervisory Council to report, and took back his supervisory badge from Chen Pingping. He was also appointed to handle many affairs and was entrusted with important tasks.

Chen Pingping casually mentioned something off topic:

"As a brother, what do you think of the marriage between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Ruoruo?"

Fan Xian tells Chen Pingping about the help the prince gave him after he faked his death and returned to Beijing, and the changes he felt in the prince:

"Ruoruo's marriage is her own decision, as long as she likes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and is willing to be with him. If she doesn't want to, then I will send her to Northern Qi. This is also His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's intention. Let Ruoruo make her own choice. He won't blame her no matter what."

Chen Pingping tapped the handle of the wheelchair with his fingers, thinking about the intention of this move:
"The Second Prince married into the Ye family, and the Crown Prince chose to marry into your Fan family. Could it be that he just wants to befriend you, thinking that you will help him ascend to the throne?"

Fan Xian shook his head. "If that's the case, he wouldn't give Ruoruo room to choose. He said that when he proposed the marriage, his goal had already been achieved."

Finished saying this.

Chen Pingping's face suddenly changed, and his fingers, which had been jumping all the time, stopped on the handle. Could it be that he had already seen this level?

"What's wrong with you?"

Fan Xian asked curiously.

Chen Pingping shook his head. "No. 1 needs you, Fan Xian. Go and do what you are supposed to do."

Leave the rest to me.

Yannian Hall.

When the prince got up, Qingzhu was still sleeping with a rosy face. This was because the intensity of last night was a bit too high. Li Chengqian's strength had reached the sixth level, and his physical strength had also improved dramatically. Qingzhu, who had just started practicing martial arts, naturally couldn't bear it and needed time to digest it.

"Your Highness, you are awake. I am here to change your clothes for you."

"No, go to sleep. I kept you awake all night last night."

Qingzhu's little face was pressed back onto the bed, burning with emotion, leaving her with an endless aftertaste.

Li Chengqian washed up and set off to go to Fan Mansion. He had already made arrangements for the next step.

The Second Prince will not let the matter of Baoyue Tower go. Fan Xian should also send Fan Sizhe to Northern Qi and prepare to stir up trouble as the head of a branch of the Supervisory Council. He should go all out to fight back against the Second Prince and bring his smuggling case to the surface by investigating the bribery case of the Vegetable Bureau.

The counselor intervenes personally.

Fan Xian should be taking over one place by now.

Li Chengqian did not intend to intervene. He just needed to watch and provide help when Fan Xian needed it at the critical moment. His more important task now was to complete the test of Emperor Qing and show his feelings for the opposite sex and no longer focus on the eldest princess by granting her marriage to Fan Ruoruo.

Then the simplest way is to "chase" Fan Ruoruo.

Li Chengqian immediately set off and left the palace for the Fan family. In order to pursue Fan Ruoruo more conveniently, he did not wear the four-clawed dragon robe or ride in the prince's sedan chair. Instead, he changed into a low-key and restrained brocade robe and knocked on the door of the Fan family.

Fan Jian is on duty at the Fan family, Fan Xian is doing something, and Fan Sizhe was sent out of Northern Qi last night.

The only one who came out to receive them was the Fan family's mistress, the still charming Concubine Liu, who treated them warmly:

Chatted for a while.

Aunt Liu tentatively asked why Li Chengqian came. She was worried about her son, Fan Sizhe, who was sent out of Northern Qi last night. Was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here for this?

"Aunt Liu, don't worry too much. His Majesty's imperial decree granting marriage should have been delivered to the Fan family. I came here today just to chat with Ruoruo. Aunt Liu, can you please ask her if she is willing to go out with me?"

"Is that so? I'll go ask for you."

Aunt Liu left with a smile, leaving behind a curvy figure.

But after a while she came back with a message from Ruoruo, smiling:

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. Ruoruo is still dressing up and will be here soon."
