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

Chapter 3 The Crown Prince fought all night, and the Second Prince was furious
Outside the Imperial Study Room.

Li Chengqian waited for a long time before Eunuch Hou brought him in. This was the emperor's wish.

Emperor Qing wore a white gauze robe, looking casual yet maintaining his imperial demeanor. Even though he knew the crown prince had arrived, he still held a book and read for a long time.

It was obvious that they wanted to put pressure on the prince and make him reflect on himself.

"Do you know why I summoned you?"

Emperor Qing spoke slowly, and at the same time noticed that the prince was not in a hurry and stood as steady as a pine tree, which surprised him a little.

"know."

Li Chengqian responded calmly because he knew that the one who should be panicking now was not him, but the second prince who had not been summoned.

"Oh?"

Emperor Qing put down the scroll in his hand, looked at the crown prince, and his tone suddenly became solemn. He said angrily, "Then how come you don't know that Fan Xian is a member of the envoy I sent to Northern Qi, and he represents my will."

"You dare to kill the envoys halfway. Will you dare to attack me in the future?"

Emperor Qing was just lying on his side on the dragon couch, but he was as majestic as a lion with his bloody mouth open, making people dare not look up.

Eunuch Hou, who was standing by, was sweating profusely, with his head almost buried in the ground.

Li Chengqian remained calm, showing no intention of kneeling down, and responded calmly:

"I have no such intention. The person who killed Fan Xian is someone else."

Emperor Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, somewhat surprised. In the past, when the Crown Prince committed a crime, he would lose his temper and sweat profusely after being slightly punished. This was far worse than his second brother.

But today's performance was so calm and showed progress.

"Then tell me, who is it?"

"I am not sure."

Li Chengqian changed the subject and said, "But I have already escorted Fan Xian back to the capital. Tomorrow I will bring him to Your Majesty to apologize and explain what he saw and heard on his mission."

Emperor Qing relaxed his frown and waved his hand in boredom, "Go away, I'm tired."

Li Chengqian bowed and remained calm, and managed to escape from Emperor Qing's questioning of his father and son.

He did not intend to identify Li Chengze without any witnesses or physical evidence, as that would only be seen by Emperor Qing as a trick among the princes to step on each other.

He might even be considered stupid for believing the one-sided words of foreign officials and then running to Your Majesty to accuse his own brother. This is simply a joke!
Let Fan Xian personally testify against Li Chengze tomorrow. That will be more convincing and he will not be affected.

After he left, Emperor Qing sat on the dragon couch, watching his son leave curiously with a happy look on his face.

Upon seeing this, Eunuch Hou immediately flattered him, "Master Fan has returned from the dead and can serve Your Majesty again. This is indeed a great joy for the Kingdom of Qing."

Emperor Qing sneered and said nothing, then turned his gaze to the prince whose back disappeared outside the palace.

He was more happy about the progress of his own prince than to learn that Fan Xian was still alive.

Li Chengqian's actions and conversation today were flawless, and he finally began to behave like a prince.

"Go and see what Li Chengze has been doing recently?"

"Yes."

Eunuch Hou was a little puzzled, but seeing the gloomy face of His Majesty, he knew that this matter could not be delayed.
······
East Palace, Yannian Hall.

After bathing, Qingzhu was wrapped only in silk and sent to the prince's bed.

Before leaving, the maids were full of envy for her and were courteous to her, hoping that after she became successful, she would not forget them, her "best friends" who had shared the hardships with her.

But after they left, the smile on Qingzhu's pretty face disappeared, leaving only worry.

"Sorry for the wait, beautiful lady."

Li Chengqian swaggered back to the East Palace and began to undress as soon as he entered the room. He seemed impatient to take off his clothes as he walked.

Qingzhu smiled ingratiatingly, hiding a hint of fear in her eyes. She stretched out her hand, wanting to take the initiative to untie the silk on her body to show her flawless naked body to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Don't worry, I'll do it." Li Chengqian grabbed Qingzhu's white arm and ordered the maids who were waiting at the door, "You go out first. I don't like people watching."

The plump maid and the little maid were a little confused. They heard that the prince was a playboy by nature. He not only liked to be watched, but also called many people to
But since His Highness had ordered them to leave, they had no choice but to retreat. It was such a pity that they missed a great opportunity to serve the Crown Prince together with Qingzhu.
When there were only two people left in the bedroom, the desire in Li Chengqian's eyes disappeared, and he grabbed Qingzhu's swan neck instead, "Did the second brother send you to monitor me?"

Qingzhu's pretty face turned pale instantly, and she shook her head in panic, "I don't know, I just want to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince well, and I have no contact with the Second Prince!"

"Did I say the second one is the second prince?"

Qingzhu trembled as if he had been electrocuted, and his face turned pale.

Li Chengqian smiled, lying beside Qingzhu, hugging her shoulders, feeling the latter's sweat falling like a waterfall, "The daughter of the Ye family, a merchant family in Jiangnan, was once one of the most talented and beautiful women in Jiangnan, but the second prince threatened you with the lives of your family members to enter the capital and the palace."

"You know that I am naturally lustful and like to collect beauties from all over the world, so it is natural for you to come to my side and monitor my every move. When you need to pass on information, you can change into a hairpin with two silver leaves hanging on it, and the Second Prince's people will come to contact you."

"Only in this way can we protect the lives of our families, provide them with a comfortable life and ensure their business prospers."

Li Chengqian threw Qingzhu's changed underwear and the beautiful hairpin on the bed.

Qingzhu was already trembling all over, tears streaming down her face, begging for a glimmer of hope, "Your Highness, please spare me, Crown Prince. He threatened me with my parents' lives, and I was forced to do it!"

"Don't cry, I don't kill innocent people, and I won't kill women." Li Chengqian wiped away Qingzhu's tears. The latter gritted her teeth to hold back her tears and understood what the prince meant. "Not bad, she is quite smart, not a woman who only knows how to cry."

Li Chengqian caressed Qingzhu's pretty face. Even though he was once a top screenwriter in the entertainment industry, he had never seen a female star prettier than her. "I'll give you a choice, whether to follow me or leave the palace."

Hope flashed across Qingzhu's desperate face, "I don't want to leave His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"You can contact the second brother normally in the future, but I will decide what to say. I will send people to secretly protect your family. If there is any accident, I will bring them to the capital so that your family can be reunited."

Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, Qingzhu took off the silk without hesitation and pressed her hot body into the prince's arms without reservation, "I will only belong to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the rest of my life."

Late at night in the East Palace, the phoenix sings in the spring night.

The young eunuch who was preparing to meet Qingzhu didn't get anyone.

When he passed by the East Palace, he heard the suggestive and lascivious music and was stunned.

Then he snorted with disdain and went to report the news to the Second Prince. The Prince was really hungry and ate all the maids around him.

After the eunuch left.

Li Chengze frowned and thought hard, "Why did the prince sleep with her?"

Because his informant was being held down by the crown prince and could not deliver the message as promised, he was unable to obtain Li Chengqian's real-time situation.

Now I don’t know where he went when he left the city this morning, whether he went to the north, whether he saw Xie Bian intercepting the envoys, and whether Fan Xian is dead or not?
Li Chengze is very annoyed.

Fan Wujiu kept reading and joked, "His Royal Highness is just lustful. It's totally normal."

Li Chengze shook his head, "No, he usually doesn't touch me, but he sleeps with me at the critical moment."

"unusual!"

Li Chengze was an old scoundrel and realized immediately that something was wrong. He ordered people to keep an eye on Wang Qinian's house to look for Fan Xian.

He also asked Fan Wujiu to guard near the East Palace. Once Qingzhu came out of the East Palace, he would check that there was no one around and then abduct her to ask her what the prince had done that day.

Even if there is a risk of being exposed and sacrificing this chess piece, Li Chengze must find out the situation of the prince.

结果
Fan Wujiu stared all night long, until early morning, when he came to report to the Second Prince with dark circles under his eyes.

"Your Highness is really strong. She came out limping after a whole night of sex."

"What did you ask?"

"It's already daybreak, and the palace is full of people. It's not convenient for me to ask."

Li Chengze's face turned black and he kicked over the table, causing the fresh seasonal fruits to scatter all over the floor.

"Damn it!"
