Daqing: Reborn Prince, intercepting Si Lili at the beginning

This method is much stronger than the prince's!"

"This..." Xie Bian thought for a moment and said, "Wouldn't that mean Fan Xian and the princess's marriage is ruined?"

"That's not certain!" Li Chengze said with a smile, "This kind of thing depends on your majesty's intentions. If your majesty insists on marrying Wan'er to Fan Xian, then even if Fan Xian is a piece of mud, the marriage will be a done deal!"

"Then, Your Highness, what should we do?"

Li Chengze thought for a moment and said, "I have a feeling that my aunt might not be able to keep the inner treasury, so we have to make preparations early.

The task of sabotaging the marriage will be left to the Crown Prince and the Third Prince!

Let's not get involved for now, we can try to win over Fan Xian first!"

"How to win them over?" Xie Bian asked again.

Li Chengze thought about it again, then suddenly looked at the book at hand.

He now carries two books with him at all times, one is "Journey to the West" and the other is "A Dream of Red Mansions"!

Li Chengze picked up the copy of "A Dream of Red Mansions," flipped open, and after glancing at it, a smile curled his lips. "Not good at literature? Not good at martial arts? Since your martial arts skills have been tested, let's try your literary skills! Go find Prince Jing and ask him to find a time in the next couple of days to invite Fan Xian to a poetry gathering!"

"Okay, Your Highness, I'll go right away!"

.......

East Palace.

The prince was also shocked when he heard the news and didn't speak for a long time.

After a long silence, the prince sighed.

"It has to be Third Brother! If something happens, come and do it!"

......

Guangxin Palace.

After hearing the news, Li Yunrui was stunned for a moment, then she curiously asked the palace maid beside her, "Tell me, is Li Chengyuan really helping the prince?"

"This... is possible!" replied the palace maid.

"Then why did he run away last time?" Li Yunrui asked again.

"This.....I don't know (bfbd)!"

"Well... no matter what, I'm very happy that he can help me fight Fan Xian. I heard that he has many concubines at home. Can you help me pick out some jewelry to send to Prince Li's mansion and say it's a small gift from me?"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Li Yunrui showed a charming smile and gave another instruction.

"Remember, give it with great fanfare. It's best to let everyone know it's from me!"

"Understood, Your Highness!"

"Hmm... Li Chengyuan! You really make me itch!"

......

On the way to the Prince's Mansion!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for achieving the "First Beatup of Fan Xian" achievement. Rewards: Servants Meng Zhi and Yan Shu, and 5 Enlightenment Pills!]

[Meng Zhi: The commander-in-chief of the Daliang Imperial Guard in Nirvana in Fire, a top-tier ninth-rank warrior, upright and brave, loyal to the emperor and patriotic. (Note: At this time, Meng Zhi is undercover in the Northern Qi army, following the host's orders!)]

[Yan Shu: Mei Changsu's attendant physician in Nirvana in Fire, his medical skills are superb and he never fails!]

Hey?

Li Chengyuan, who was dozing in the carriage, was suddenly frightened when he heard the system prompt sound.

After coming to his senses, surprise appeared in his eyes.

Good guy!

Is there a reward for beating someone up?

How embarrassing is this?

Li Chengyuan smacked his lips and swore in the name of his brother Fan Xian that he beat Fan Xian just to make Emperor Qing feel more at ease about him, and he had no intention of stealing the reward.

This reward is definitely a surprise!

Of course, since he got it, he couldn't refuse it and accepted it without hesitation.

Li Chengyuan chuckled, then immediately opened the system interface to check the rewards.

And when he saw this, Li Chengyuan was surprised again!

Meng Zhi!

Doctor Yan!

There is also the Enlightenment Pill!

Doctor Yan and the Enlightenment Pill were enough to satisfy him.

And Meng Zhi gave him an immense surprise!

You know, Meng Zhi is not just a ninth-grade peak master.

He is also a commander-type talent who can lead troops in battle!

Such talents are rare.

If Li Chengyuan were to rebel in the future, this kind of talent would be what he would lack the most.

In the real struggle for imperial power, what matters in the end is actually military strength!

So with Meng Zhi, it can be said that Li Chengyuan has a powerful trump card that is no weaker than Lao Huang!

The only pity is that Meng Zhi is not in Daqing now, but is lurking in Northern Qi.

If this is the case, it will be difficult to deal with.

Unless he lets Meng Zhi withdraw now, he still can't be relied upon if war breaks out in Daqing!

But Li Chengyuan couldn't let Meng Zhi withdraw.

He is now a Qing citizen!

The struggle for imperial power was just an internal struggle, but the war with Northern Qi was a national war!

Li Chengyuan can still tell what is more important!

Letting Meng Zhi hide in Northern Qi is much more important than letting him stay in Southern Qing!

So he definitely couldn't rely on Meng Zhi in the short term.

But it doesn't matter, he is actually strong enough now.

The only thing missing is the foundation of the court.

Once Fan Xian has completely taken control of the Inspection Office and the financial power of the Inner Treasury, and he gradually erodes the six ministries, then even if he doesn't launch an army, he will be able to capture Emperor Qing!

Let Meng Zhi stay in Northern Qi!

...

A quarter of an hour later, Li Chengyuan appeared at the Princess's Mansion.

Although this is called the Princess's Mansion, it is actually a royal villa. The living environment inside is no worse than those of the major royal palaces.

Lin Wan'er had just returned from the Qing Temple.

I had just returned and hadn’t even had a sip of hot tea when I heard that the third prince had arrived.

Lin Wan'er hurriedly put down the hot tea and went out to greet them.

Lin Wan'er has a relatively good impression of her third cousin.

At least among all his cousins, the Third Prince is the most talented, the most humane, and the most caring!

If there was one thing that Lin Wan'er disliked about the Third Prince, it was that he was too lustful!

Lin Wan'er has been lonely and helpless since childhood, so she longs for care and even more for unique love.

Therefore, the ideal man in her mind must treat her well with all his heart, must not bully her, must not lie to her, must understand her, love her, and must be the one she likes!

With regard to such requirements, in ancient times when men had many wives and concubines, it was probably only Fan Xian who could meet all her demands.

As for Li Chengyuan, he definitely can't be her husband, but if he is her cousin, Lin Wan'er still likes him very much.

After all, her cousin's lust has nothing to do with her!

So after the last poetry reading, Lin Wan'er and Li Chengyuan started to interact more frequently, and their relationship became better.

Especially after she heard that she was granted marriage, the first thing she thought of was to find Li Chengyuan.

Because she was not close to others and had such a good relationship with her own brother Lin Gong, she was embarrassed to say it out loud.

Only with her third cousin who is neither too far nor too close can she let go!

...

"Third cousin...cough cough..."

Lin Wan'er came out to greet Li Chengyuan, but she started coughing before she could finish her words, looking like a sickly person!

"Okay, you're not feeling well, why are you still out here? Come on, let's talk inside!"

Li Chengyuan signaled the palace maid to help Lin Wan'er back to the main hall, and he followed with Qingniao.

Soon, several people returned to the hall and sat down.

After the palace maid served tea and snacks, she tactfully left.

Li Chengyuan picked up a piece of dessert, handed it to Qingniao first, and then ate one piece himself.

"Third cousin, is there something you want to see me about?"

Lin Wan'er covered her mouth with a handkerchief, looking weak.

"Well, something happened!" Li Chengyuan said as he ate, "I just beat Fan Xian in the street in your name!"

"What... cough cough cough!" Lin Wan'er coughed several times in shock, then looked up and asked in surprise, "Third cousin, who did you say you beat up in the street?"

"Fan Xian is the person you are arranged to marry!" Li Chengyuan said.
