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

Chapter 30: Controlling Baoyue Tower, Fan Ruoruo Misunderstood
The Second Prince's Mansion.

Li Chengze enjoyed the grapes while listening to Xie Bian's report on the mission:

"Your Highness, I have arranged for three extremely vicious assassins. Since the Overwatch Council has sealed off Baoyue Tower, they cannot move during the day. They will carry out the assassination in Baoyue Tower tonight. As long as they have a moment's opportunity, they will be able to kill one of the courtesans and secretly drag her to the center of the market to amplify the bad influence."

Li Chengze nodded with satisfaction:

"Bi'an, you are doing things more and more carefully now."

"Your Highness has given you the compliment."

Li Chengze issued the following instructions:

"After killing someone, let the murderer hide in a place I designate. When this matter ferments maliciously into a large scale, I will let my followers instigate the Censorate and let them report the Fan family's running a brothel, killing people, and ignoring the law. The Censorate will naturally send people to catch them, and then let the murderer appear."

Xie Bian felt that he was getting smarter and understood His Highness's arrangements, so he answered quickly:

"As long as the murderer is caught, they will accuse Fan Xian of hiring a murderer with a large sum of money. By then, the Fan family will be in a serious crisis, and may even be punished and demoted by His Majesty, as well as his brother."

Li Chengze smiled with satisfaction and tasted the grapes in his mouth, which became sweeter and sweeter.

Baoyue Tower.

The prince went into a brothel with his entourage to play. The people from the Overwatch Council were notified and quietly evacuated in advance.

Li Chengqian came to the brothel, of course, not to sleep with the courtesan, but because he knew about Li Chengze's conspiracy in advance, so he got involved in the game in advance, making the assassin sent by the second prince to kill the courtesan become a regicide who was plotting to assassinate the crown prince in the eyes of outsiders.

The nature of this matter has been escalated to a higher level. By then, the truth will be uncovered and public opinion will be aroused to accuse the Second Prince of regicide and usurpation of the throne.

Although he wouldn't die, it was certain that he would be seriously injured.

Li Chengqian's second arrival made the courtesans of Baoyue Tower, who had been banned for a long time and had never received any customers, extremely excited. They rushed to kneel down and pay their respects, while at the same time pulling open their already thin sexy clothes, revealing a patch of white, which saved the Qing Kingdom a lot of fabric:

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince~"

The delicate voices rang out in unison, making Li Chengqian feel as if he had chosen a concubine at the Laowan nightclub before.

There were also familiar faces among these people, including Miss Sang Wen, who had already torn up her indenture, but could not leave temporarily because of the closure of Baoyue Tower for investigation. She looked at the prince with a fiery look while holding her pipa:
"Your Highness, long time no see~"

"Miss Sangwen, come and tell me a song."

"it is good!"

This positive attitude made Qingzhu feel a little uneasy.

There is also the manager of Baoyue Tower, Miss Yuan Meng. She is different from the other girls who are vying to dress His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. On the surface, she responds enthusiastically to the Crown Prince and throws herself into his arms, but in fact, her eyes are filled with worry and she is anxious to leave this place.

Li Chengqian knew what she was thinking.

Yuan Meng is the second prince's person. She must know that Li Chengze is going to kill the courtesan tonight, and she is a key person deeply involved in it.

Although Yuan Meng didn't know what Li Chengze was going to do with the death of the courtesan, she definitely knew when Li Chengze's killer would come and when she should push the unlucky courtesan out.

But the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince disrupted their plans. Yuan Meng didn't know how to deal with it. Her first reaction was to pass the situation on to the Second Prince. As long as she walked out of Baoyue Tower, someone would pick her up:

"Bring some of the prettiest and bustiest girls to play with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Yuan Meng called a few of the top courtesans in Baoyue Tower and asked them to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince well. As long as they served him well, they would be favored by the Son of the True Dragon. They would be rewarded with at least a thousand taels of silver. If they were lucky, they would have the opportunity to become His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's personal concubine.
The girls rushed to Manager Yuan Meng to sign up for a chance to change their fate.

"Mother Yuan, my butt is the biggest. It can hold up a bottle of physalis juice!"

"Mother Yuan, I am the best at playing the flute. I will definitely satisfy His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Can you let me go in with Miss Sang Wen?!"

"Mother Yuan, I'll give you all the money I've saved over the years. Just let me go in and accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for one night. I also want to be with Miss Sang Wen!" All the celebrities and dignitaries were vying to sleep with him. The top courtesans who paid a lot of money to sleep with him, let alone get it for free, would pay just to spend a night with the crown prince. To be favored once was like a golden phoenix flying out of a chicken coop!

Qingzhu stood guard outside the door, watching the beautiful courtesans vying for the first place in a panic. However, she herself was favored by the Crown Prince almost every day, sometimes even all night long. She actually felt a little proud and fortunate in her heart.

"Stop arguing."

Li Chengqian called a halt to their actions, skipping all the top courtesans, and pointed at Yuan Meng, who was still charming and had a heart painted on her face, and said, "You come and serve me in person."

"Ah? Me?"

Yuan Meng pointed at her own face in disbelief.

She is a mature woman almost thirty years old. Among this group of young courtesans in their early twenties, her age does not give her any advantage. Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has taken a fancy to her famous skill from Liujing River: the Snake-wrapped Silver Spear?
Or there is another possibility, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince discovered it.
Yuan Meng was terrified: "Your Highness, these girls are more beautiful than me~"

Li Chengqian pushed aside the most beautiful courtesans and said, "I just want you to drink with me, understand?"

"I am so lucky"

Fan Mansion.

After Fan Xian returned home, he was taken care of by his sister again. Ruoruo only admired and respected him before, but now, in order to find out the news about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she became fawning and even "fawning".

The dinner table.

Fan Ruoruo added more rice and dishes to him, served him tea and water, and completed all the work that Sisi was supposed to do.

This made Fan Jian and Aunt Liu laugh and cry. They originally thought that she disliked the Crown Prince, but they didn't expect that she was so interested in him now:
She followed Fan Xian every day to ask him what the prince was doing every day and why the prince hadn't come to play with her for so many days.

Fan Xian choked on the full bowl of food: "Ahem."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very busy, how can he have the time to go out and play with you every day?"

"Brother, I can't even ask you, where is the Crown Prince now, and what is he doing?"

Seeing that his sister wanted to know more about a man for the first time, Fan Xian felt a little jealous:
"Baoyue Tower."

"what?"

Fan Ruoruo suddenly became anxious: "Isn't that a brothel? Why would His Royal Highness go to such a place?"

Seeing that his intelligent sister almost misunderstood the prince, Fan Xian quickly explained:
"Your Highness the Crown Prince went to Baoyue Tower for official business. It's not what you think. Besides, Baoyue Tower is sealed off now, so it can't do those unsightly things. The Crown Prince is not that kind of person."

"So what business do you say it is?"

Fan Ruoruo asked.

The old man Fan Jian said, "Since this is official business, Ruoruo, don't ask."

Fan Xian nodded. He had heard that his father was once a playboy who roamed the Liujing River. He was indeed so open-minded. He had no misunderstanding at all, or rather, he had completely misunderstood him?
"Humph!"

Fan Ruoruo pouted and ran away angrily. She didn't even eat the two mouthfuls of rice and sat in her boudoir angrily looking at the "love poem" she had written to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

This is a letter that Ruoruo wrote to ask him when he would come to see her. She had been looking forward to the prince coming to pick her up to go out and play these days, so she wrote it out of emotion.

"If he doesn't come to see me, then I'll go find him and see if he's doing anything lewd!"

Fan Ruoruo was trained by Fan Xian to be a brave girl since she was a child. She even dared to run away from her marriage, not to mention checking whether her boyfriend had gone for a massage.

She went out with her self-defense weapon in her hand, called her most trusted maid and servant, and headed towards Baoyue Tower.
