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

Chapter 67 Letter from Aunt

Even after being furious, Li Yunrui still felt a trace of disbelief, so she stood up and snatched the letter from the maid. She hoped very much that what the maid said was false, and wanted to see with her own eyes whether the prince had really betrayed her?

But after reading the contents of the letter, I was even more disappointed.

"Li Chengqian, why are you doing this to me!"

Li Yunrui clenched her hands, and the letter paper in her hand was crumpled into a ball. Although she had no blood relationship with Li Chengqian, she was the prince's nominal aunt and the woman hidden deep in the prince's heart.

The eldest princess was extremely sure of this, only because she had been charming and cultivating the prince since he was a child. She saw the sexual desire hidden in the deepest part of the prince's eyes every time he was alone with her, in a corner where no one was around.

He would also take the opportunity to serve tea and water to show his courtesy if there could be contact.

Li Yunrui could see that the prince's breathing was heavy, which was clearly the reaction of someone who was completely in love with her. He was only imprisoned in name and suppressed by his unromantic father, and did not dare to overstep the line.

If he is given a chance to fan the flames and add fuel to the fire, he will be crazier than anyone else.
But how could the prince fall in love with the daughter of the Fan family in such a short time, a woman he had only met a few times? Li Yunrui lost control of her emotions towards the prince, which made her very upset and even crazy:

"I am his aunt who has watched him grow up. I promised to be his assistant. If he wants the money from the inner treasury, I will give it to him. But how can he abandon me like that? Li Chengqian, you bastard, have you forgotten our relationship?"

The eldest princess is in a high position of power. As the pinnacle of female power in Qing Kingdom, she is also a stunningly beautiful woman. However, she is so resentful for a man, looking like an unsatisfied woman, and this man is the crown prince!

The painter was terrified and her hands were shaking as she discovered a shocking truth: the handsome boy she was painting was none other than the Crown Prince of Qing, and the purpose of this painting was to give the princess a tool to comfort herself by reminding her of him.
"Bring it here."

The princess's cold tone made the painter kneel on the ground. He didn't even have the strength to present the painting. The maid who was used to big scenes presented the portrait of the prince to Li Yunrui. She stroked the lifelike prince with her hands, and a smile appeared on her face. It was beautiful, but scary:
"It's a great painting, it's so lifelike."

Li Yunrui held the portrait in her arms, as if something had really happened between her and Li Chengqian. A morbid pleasure appeared on her pretty face, and when she looked at the painter with satisfaction, her beautiful eyes were filled with madness: "Then I will reward you with an intact corpse. This is my greatest mercy."

"No, no!"

The painter was dragged out of the room crying and screaming, and then he let out another miserable wail.

Li Yunrui hummed in enjoyment. He still had something very important to do: "I want to write a letter. You, go and prepare it for me."

The maid quickly took a piece of letter paper, but was slapped hard by Li Yunrui:

"Did I say I only wrote one?"

"This slave deserves death. This slave will get it right away."

The maid fetched a pile of letter paper, as well as writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone out of fear.

Li Yunrui only took two of them, and she was very graceful, lifting her long skirt like a lady, and the moment she sat down, she outlined a perfect peach curve. She picked up the pen and wrote two letters to Kyoto:

"Even if you betray me, I want to know the reason why you betrayed me. Even if I want to join forces with Li Chengze, I want you to lose miserably and kneel in front of me, hug your aunt's thigh, beg your aunt to come back to help you, and cry and beg your aunt to let you live."

Li Yunrui showed a crazy but beautiful smile.

Fan Xian said goodbye to his father, but ran into his sister when he went out.

Fan Ruoruo looked nervous and smiled as if she was just passing by:
"Brother, are you going out?"

"Were you eavesdropping?" Fan Xian could tell at a glance that his sister was feeling uneasy, and he pointed it out immediately.

Fan Ruoruo had no choice but to admit, "Brother, I heard everything you talked about with Dad. In fact, I understand that although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in a high position and is the crown prince, he is also in constant trouble. He and our Fan family are in a very difficult situation."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Fan Xian was speechless: "Don't ask me to help you urge His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to get married. This kind of thing is not something you, I, or he can decide. It is not something that can be accomplished smoothly just because you and the Crown Prince are willing."

Fan Ruoruo understood the truth and nodded, pointing to the sky: "Brother, I understand everything."

Fan Xian reached out to rub Fan Ruoruo's head, but the latter dodged with a playful smile:
"Brother, I just want to learn some skills from you so that they can come in handy when needed in the future!"

"What to study?"

"Study medicine!"

"Then let's talk about it when I come back."

Fan Xian has no time to care about his sister's little thoughts. Faced with the thundering means that the Second Prince and the Eldest Princess may take at any time, as the Eldest Princess's number one enemy, he must prepare for the future and discuss countermeasures with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in advance.

Yannian Hall.

Fan Xian walked quickly into the palace and saw the Crown Prince leisurely eating fruit with Qingzhu's help. He thought to himself why the Crown Prince was not in a hurry at all. Wasn't he afraid that the Princess would turn against him and take revenge on him?
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"I know what you're going to say, don't panic."

Li Chengqian signaled Qingzhu with his eyes, asking her to take the other two maids out. Qingzhu was also the Crown Prince's "personal" maid who knew him inside and out. She immediately understood what he meant and made up a legitimate reason to take Luan Hongyu and Jiang Ziyan away.

Fan Xian then stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, do you have a plan?"

Li Chengqian shook his head: "When an enemy comes, we will fight him with our troops; when a flood comes, we will block it with earth. My aunt and I are blood relatives. Even if she forms an alliance with my second brother, she will not be able to agree immediately. The threat is limited. You have to be prepared."

Fan Xian gradually realized:
The fight between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, as well as the participation of the Eldest Princess, were all carried out with the permission of Emperor Qing. Even if someone wins or loses, neither will suffer a tragic ending. Instead, Fan Xian, who has no royal status on the surface, and the Fan family may be affected.

From this point of view, the alliance between the Crown Prince and his Fan family not only benefits him, but Fan Xian and the Fan family benefit even more. Only by being in the same boat with the Crown Prince can they survive more safely in the insidious tactics of the Princess:

"Your Highness, do you need to put Ruoruo's marriage on the agenda? My girl is ready to marry you in order to help you. Why don't you tell His Majesty that you two are in love with each other and can't help yourself?"

"I dare not interfere with your majesty's decision. This matter can only wait for your majesty to make the final decision."

Li Chengqian shook his head and refused, but then added: "Of course, I also like Ruoruo very much and want to marry her, but this matter is not up to me. What I say will have no effect on the result, but will have the opposite effect."

Fan Xian sighed helplessly: "I'm worried that the princess might do something bad to you and me."

Li Chengqian teased, "Aunt is bullying you, and second brother is bullying me. Isn't this just a matter of convenience?"

Then she looked at Qingzhu who was walking into the palace with something in her arms, and whispered in the prince's ear:
"Your Highness, there is a letter from the Princess."
