Movies and TV: The heroine of the blind date

"How is the person? Has he been rescued?"

After all, he is nominally his brother-in-law, Li Chengqian said with concern.

"The person was rescued, but..."

"But what?"

"I'm afraid it's inhumane..."

Li Jinzhong hesitated.

The competition is too fierce. There's Qian Chunqiang suppressing you in front, and now there's the emperor's uncle behind you. Isn't the pressure huge? Isn't it?

"What about the woman?"

"She's dead. She was stabbed to death by the golden hairpin in the hands of the uncle of the emperor. This morning, the madam of Mantingfang submitted a petition to the capital, accusing the uncle of the emperor of murdering her daughter."

Li Jinzhong continued.

"Killing is not the right path, Lin Ruofu has gone too far."

It is said that without investigation, one has no right to speak, but Li Chengqian is sure that this matter is related to Lin Ruofu.

"Your Majesty is really observant. Just now, the Supervisory Council sent a message that Prime Minister Lin's aide Yuan Hongdao met Yan Rufang's biological parents half a month ago."

God's grace is like the sea, and God's power is like a prison. Knowing Li Chengqian's methods, Li Jinzhong would use some small tricks to please him, so he did not dare to deceive him.

"I suddenly feel unwell today and would like to go to Taiping Villa outside the city to rest for a few days. You go and pass on the order and let Gong Dian lead the team to escort me.

By the way, I don’t want the Queen to know about Fan Sizhe’s matter before she gives birth.”

Go ahead and make a fuss. Those two old guys are not good people. They deserve to die. As long as my Ruoruo and Wan'er are not involved, it will be fine.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. If the Queen knew about this, I would be beheaded."

Your Majesty, one day I will let you know that I, Li Jinzhong, am the most capable servant you can ever have.

"Duoduo, accompany me to live outside the city for a few days."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

This imperial palace was like a birdcage, locking herself up inside. When Haitang Duoduo heard that she could go out, how could she not be willing?

…………

He sat up in shock while dying of illness.

Liu Ruyu had never heard of this poem written by Yuan Zhen, but it didn't matter, because Fan Jian personally performed it for her this morning.

"Doctor, how is it? Can my son be saved? He is still a child."

Despair. From birth to now, Liu Ruyu has never been so desperate.

"Lord Fan, Madam Fan, your son's life has been saved, but the other things are beyond human control."

Imperial Physician Wang, who took on this hot potato, said helplessly.

"Master, it was Lin Ruofu. It must be Lin Ruofu. He was the one who harmed Sizhe. And Fan Xian, that unlucky star, you shouldn't have let him come to Kyoto."

This was the first time Liu Ruyu blamed her husband since she married into the Fan family.

"Master, Madam, the bailiffs from Shuntian Prefecture are here."

The housekeeper of the Fan Mansion came in and reported with gritted teeth.

"What are they doing here?"

Fan Jian asked with a gloomy face.

"They said that the young master had killed someone and wanted to bring him to court..."

"This is too much, Lin Ruofu is too much." Fan Jian, who usually does not show his emotions, was finally irritated by Lin Ruofu.

"I want to go to the palace to find Ruoruo. Sizhe is her biological brother."

He was embarrassed to go look for his daughter, but Fan Jian did not object to Liu Ruyu going.

"Golden Man, bring all your men with you and follow me to the Lin Residence to settle accounts with Lin Ruofu."

In this way, Fan Jian and Liu Ruyu split their forces into two groups, which marked the beginning of the struggle. The fight between the Fan and Lin families went from being a secret one to an open one.

Chapter 261 Taiping Villa

Taiping Villa

An extremely luxurious courtyard outside Kyoto; if Ye Qingmei's story begins in the temple, then Fan Xian's story begins in this courtyard.

Haitang Duoduo was once the Holy Maiden of Northern Qi and was well accustomed to the world. However, even though it was her first time stepping into the Taiping Villa, she was still shocked by the beautiful scenery and luxurious decoration of the villa.

"How is it? I hope this place of mine does not disappoint my beloved concubine."

All under heaven belongs to the king; all within the four seas are the king's subjects; there is nothing wrong with what Li Chengqian said.

"The layout here gives people a very comfortable feeling. I like it very much."

Emperor Qing retained the old appearance of Taiping Villa, so the layout inside the villa is still a legacy of Ye Qingmei's time; as a modern person, Ye Qingmei ensured that the villa was beautiful and grand while also taking into account the comfort of living, which led to the words that Haitang Duoduo said today.

"As long as you like it, I will accompany you everywhere."

It was Haitang Duoduo's first time to visit Taiping Villa, and so was Li Chengqian. So, led by the villa manager, the two of them visited the first holiday villa in Qing Kingdom.

"Butler, what is this?"

Several people walked into a bedroom, and Haitang Duoduo pointed at a flush toilet and asked.

"My lady, this is for the toilet."

Women should be clean. Ye Qingmei has the thinking and living habits of modern people. It is normal to have this thing if she has the ability.

"That's it"

Feeling like she had made a fool of herself, Haitang Duoduo lost the liveliness she had when she first entered the villa on the way.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is a hot spring surrounded by rockery in front. The original owner of the villa loved to take a bath there. Every time the late emperor came to the villa, he also liked to stay there for a long time."

"Oh, there is such a good place, then I must experience it."

Li Chengqian likes to soak in hot springs, and he likes to use hot spring guns even more; Haitang Duoduo also realizes what will happen next, and at this moment she is more beautiful than the flowers.

The chief eunuch accompanying Li Chengqian and Haitang Duoduo to Taiping Villa this time is Li Jinzhong's godson Wei Xian. He may not be as capable as Li Jinzhong in other matters, but he is very talented in serving people.

After a while, he helped Li Chengqian and Haitang Duoduo to clear out a perfect place for their work, and arranged for the palace maids and eunuchs to send a variety of seasonal fruits and snacks.

Because of the existence of the hot spring, the rockery was shrouded in mist; under the sky, they sat on the ground, and after finishing their work, looking at the limp Haitang Duoduo, Li Chengqian wanted to say shamelessly, Duoduo, you raped me.

"Your Majesty, let me rest for a while."

Seeing Li Chengqian approaching again, Haitang Duoduo began to beg for mercy.

"Duoduo, I'm going to show you something good."

As if he had thought of something, Li Chengqian took out a crystal ball from his personal space.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

"It's a very interesting thing. I'll show it to you."

This was not the first or second time that Li Chengqian had displayed his magical powers in front of Haitang Duoduo. He used the telescope technique in front of her.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

After a while, the face of an old man emerged in the crystal ball; at this moment, he was full of anger and was hurrying on his way. Who else could this man be but Fan Jian?

"Fan Jian, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is my troublesome father-in-law."

Li Chengqian picked up a piece of honeydew melon from the shore, ate it while talking, his eyes still fixed on the crystal ball, watching it with relish.

At the same time, in Kyoto City, Fan Jian and his tiger guards had arrived outside the Lin Mansion.

"Lin Ruofu, get out here."

Even if Fan Sizhe was useless, he was still his only son. Seeing that he had become a useless person, Fan Jian was furious.

When someone came to his door and attacked him, Lin Ruofu, as the Prime Minister of Qing Kingdom, nominally a person second only to the emperor, would certainly not hide.

After Fan Jian's call, not long after, Lin Ruofu opened the main door and walked out under the protection of the mansion guards.

"Why did Minister Fan come to see me so early in the morning? But Fan Xian, the man who killed my son Lin Gong, is back."

After Lin Ruofu said this, the offensive and defensive situation became easier.

"You... Lin Gong's death has nothing to do with Fan Xian. Lin Ruofu, stop playing dumb. How dare you say that you didn't have someone plot to do what happened to my son Sizhe?"

As Fan Jian spoke, he no longer had the same intimidating aura as before.

"Fan Jian, you are so bold. The emperor has already spoken. It was Fan Xian who killed my son Lin Gong. What did you mean by that just now? Are you saying that the emperor wrongly accused Fan Xian?"

The emperor was killed and the murderer was at large. Neither Li Chengqian nor the people in the court could afford to lose face, so Wuzhu became a taboo; Wuzhu could not speak, so Li Chengqian put the blame for killing Lin Gong on Fan Xian.

"Lin Ruofu, don't try to play tricks on me. I just want to ask you one question. Did you have someone do what happened to my son Sizhe?"

Unable to reason with him, Fan Jian started to act tough.

"Sizhe, what Sizhe? Fan Jian, I am standing here and listening to you calmly for the Queen's sake. Please don't go too far."

I don't admit it, what can you do to me?

Fan Jian is a bully, while Lin Ruofu is a rogue.

"Lin Ruofu, do you have the guts to do it but not the courage to admit it?"

"I don't even know what you're talking about?"

The two of them were somewhat arguing with each other, but any discerning person could see that Fan Jian was not in the right and was even making some far-fetched arguments.

"Hit me, hit me now, why are you wasting your time talking?"

In the hot spring of Taiping Villa, Li Chengqian watched the live broadcast with great enthusiasm, and did not forget to shout, which made Haitang Duoduo beside him roll her eyes.

With a son-in-law like Li Chengqian, you two big enemies are unlucky for the rest of your lives.

Haitang Duoduo began to sympathize with Fan Jian and Lin Ruofu in the crystal ball, but she didn't know that her master Ku He was actually more miserable.

In the end, the two did not fight. The former Prince's Tutor and now the current Grand Tutor Wang Qingsong arrived in time, which allowed both sides to back down and made the conflict disappear into thin air.

However, everyone knows that as long as Fan Xian does not surrender, the feud between the two families will never end.

…………

Imperial City Gate

As it concerned his own life, Li Jinzhong was already waiting here in person before the Fan family arrived. Fortunately, Liu Ruyu didn't let him wait too long.

"I have met Mrs. Fan Guo"

"Eunuch Li, what are you doing?"

Knowing that Li Jinzhong couldn't be here for no reason, Liu Ruyu had a bad feeling.

"Zajia came here just for Guotai."

"Eunuch Li, you took advantage of Lin Ruofu and want to make things difficult for me?"

"What you said, Queen Mother, is really unjust. Please come in, but don't blame me if anything happens in the future."

Li Jinzhong retreated to advance. After he said this, Liu Ruyu did not dare to move forward.

"Sir, do you know why I'm here?"

"Isn't it for the sake of the uncle of the emperor? Prime Minister Lin's plan of killing three birds with one stone is really too detrimental to one's virtue. Even a servant like me cannot stand it."

Li Jinzhong dares to use his own life as guarantee, which means he is sure of victory.

"Kill three birds with one stone, what do you mean, sir?"

Liu Ruyu was taken care of by him.

"Setting up a trap to harm the uncle is one thing, using the uncle's affairs to undermine the queen's position in the palace is another. Of course, the most sinister thing is to use you to murder the queen and the dragon seed in her belly."

Although Li Jinzhong was a eunuch, he used an open strategy this time.

"Use me to harm Ruoruo and the dragon seed in her belly?"

"Queen, calm down and think about it. If I hadn't stopped you, what would have happened if you had rashly entered the palace and told the Queen about the Queen's uncle?"

Even without Li Jinzhong saying it explicitly, the phrase "one corpse, two lives" automatically appeared in Liu Ruyu's mind.
