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

Chapter 4: The lovely Baba takes Fan Xian into the palace

Beijing.

Wang Qinian's home.

Fan Xian faked his death and returned to Beijing. It was inconvenient for him to go back to the Fan family, nor was it appropriate for him to show up in the Supervisory Council, let alone the Imperial City.

If they appeared in front of the Second Prince, there would be a steady stream of assassins trying to turn his fake death into a real one.

"Uncle, it's time to eat~"

The cute girl chewing on the eggs was named Wang Ba, nicknamed Baba. She woke Fan Xian up early in the morning to eat.

The latter had no temper and accompanied Baba to the courtyard. Wang Qinian had already gone out to do errands for him.

Wang Qinian's wife, Mrs. Wang, who was better than a tiger or a leopard, served him a meal.

"Please enjoy your meal, sir."

Mrs. Wang was gentle, virtuous, beautiful and generous. She told her children to chat with the adults.

Fan Xian chatted with Baba about everything and was even tricked into a meal of pork belly. Even a shrewd man like him was tricked by this kid. She really is worthy of being Wang Qinian's daughter, and they are of the same bloodline!

After tea and dinner.

Fan Xian started thinking about serious matters.

What Li Chengqian said to him yesterday was not to scare him.

Faking one's own death is deceiving the emperor and is a serious crime punishable by beheading.

But Fan Xian had no choice. On the contrary, he could not hide from Emperor Qing. Instead, he had to find an opportunity to appear before His Majesty and report the conspiracy between the Second Prince, the Eldest Princess and Northern Qi to engage in smuggling.

"But how can I do that?"

Yesterday, the prince only escorted him back to the capital safely, promised to send people to help him investigate the smuggling case and other troubles, and asked him to meet the emperor today, but why didn't he tell him?
Fan Xian planned to disguise himself as an assassin, sneak into the palace, and risk his life to meet the emperor.

"Uncle, why did you and Xiao Nian Nian come out of the well?"

Baba propped up his chubby little face and asked curiously.

"Because we are heroes, carrying out a mission."

Fan Xian was scaring the child, and Baba suddenly asked.

"Then you are the only ones who can come out of the well?"

Fan Xian nodded in assurance, "Of course, because we are heroes, we are the only ones who know the mysterious passage in the well."

The words have not yet fallen.

There was a strange noise coming from the well.

Fan Xian and Baba looked at the same time, thinking that it was Wang Qinian who came back.

Unexpectedly, a handsome young man in a golden dragon robe emerged from the well. He had a dignified appearance and superior temperament, but he had some dark circles under his eyes, which showed that he was weak.
"Your back door is quite special."

Li Chengqian had no airs of a prince at all. He dusted off his dragon robe and came up to them in a simple manner.

"How did you know there was an entrance here?"

Fan Xian was puzzled.

Wang Qinian was his subordinate and he only found out about this backdoor yesterday. How did the prince know about it in advance? Could it be that he had nothing better to do and even checked out the subordinates of the Supervisory Council?
"The whole world belongs to the emperor. I am the prince. No secret can be hidden from me."

Li Chengqian laughed dryly twice, hiding the secret that he was familiar with the plot.

Baba was not shy at all and handed the only remaining egg to Li Chengqian, "Uncle Tai, eat the egg~"

Fan Xian choked. Is Uncle Tai boxing?

Mrs. Wang heard the noise and came out to see her daughter being so offensive to the prince. She was so scared that she ran over and said, "Wang Ba, stop being unreasonable!"

Wang Ba knelt down with a thud. The little girl was very afraid of her mother, and Mrs. Wang was also afraid of the imperial power. While protecting her daughter, she bent her knees and prepared to kneel down.

"It's okay, Madam Wang, the child is very cute."

Li Chengqian held Madam Wang's arm, smiled and shook his head. He bent down and helped Baba stand up, then took the egg from her hand, "Thank you, Baba. I'll bring you something delicious next time. Just consider it an exchange."

After calming Madam Wang down, Li Chengqian also told her not to fight with Baba, and then he looked at Fan Xian leisurely, "Let's go, Master Fan, I'll take you to the palace."

"How to go?"

"Go down the well!"

Fan Xian looked at Li Chengqian wearing a dragon robe, getting into the well and waving at him. He could only smile helplessly, "Our prince is really down to earth."

······
Control Yuan.

Chen Pingping was worried about Fan Xian for a long time and did not sleep well at night. Not only did he send people out of the city to investigate the situation, he also left people at Wang Qinian's house to keep an eye on Fan Xian's whereabouts. If he came back, they could only go back there.

"Dean Chen, there's movement at Wang Qinian's house."

Chen Pingping's eyes lit up and he asked his subordinate to continue.

"We were still near Wang Qinian's house and found traces of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We stayed for a while and then headed to the Imperial City."

Chen Pingping frowned and thought, what is the relationship between Fan Xian and the prince?
If the prince wanted to kill Fan Xian, he would never have waited for any movement from Wang Qinian's family.

on the contrary.

What if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to protect Fan Xian?

Chen Pingping's eyes twitched slightly, and he ordered his subordinates, "Notify Fan Jian to follow me into the palace."

"Yes!"

The Second Prince's Mansion.

Fan Wujiu stayed awake all night last night. He was leaning against the wall, leaning on his sword and resting his eyes.

It was not until the servants presented the news to the second prince that Li Chengze flew into a rage after reading it, and once again turned into a desktop cleaning master and overturned the table.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Fan Wujiu was so frightened that he immediately turned over and obeyed.

Li Chengze crumpled the note into a ball, his bangs trembling with anger, and said viciously, "The spies planted near Wang Qinian's house reported back that Fan Xian has most likely returned to the capital, and they also found traces of the crown prince appearing nearby."

Fan Wujiu's eyes widened, "Your Highness, what are you going to do?"

"No matter what he wants to do, as long as he doesn't have evidence, he can't do anything to me in front of my father." Li Chengze snorted coldly, "You, go and clean up the mess for me quickly, and don't leave any evidence behind."

"Yes!"

Fan Wujiu took the order and set off. He did not receive any news last night because of the crown prince's amazing fighting power. Fortunately, the second prince spared him.

But this time, we must not fail in our mission. It is impossible that the prince just happened to interfere, right?
······
The news of Fan Xian's death had already spread throughout Kyoto.

There are countless people commemorating him in the streets and alleys, and there are also countless vendors who profit from his blood. In short, the people of Beijing are immersed in the memory of Master Xiao Fan. Everyone thinks that he died young because of his talent being envied by heaven.
But today, when the Crown Prince came to meet His Majesty, he was accompanied by a dead person, Fan Xian.

This frightened Eunuch Hou and the people in the palace, is he resurrecting from the dead? ! !

The old man went to report to the emperor without stopping. After getting the approval, he did not dare to delay and invited the two important figures into the imperial study.

Fan Xian followed the prince to meet the emperor. When he was not allowed to enter the imperial study, he fell to his knees in the middle of the hall.

"Fan Xian, a guilty minister, faked his own death to deceive the emperor. His crime is unforgivable and his death is not a pity!"

Fan Xian's eyes were filled with tears, and he looked like a loyal minister dying, and it seemed that he was going to die to give advice.

The arrogant Majesty said nothing.

Li Chengqian had anticipated this situation and told Fan Xian, "Just talk here. His Majesty can hear you."

Fan Xian nodded, and put on the etiquette of making a remonstrance, and said indignantly, "I was sent as an envoy to Northern Qi, and learned that the eldest princess Li Yunrui and the second prince Li Chengze were secretly communicating with the Northern Qi Jinyiwei."

"Maybe you are collaborating with the enemy!"
