Chapter 90: The Crown Prince and the Princess Confronted

Every time Li Chengqian chatted with Emperor Qing alone, his brain cells suffered heavy casualties.

Faced with this old monster who has the strength of a grandmaster and a mind that is even more bottomless.

Not to mention saying a word wrong, even an action or an expression could be wrong.

He will keep a note of you in his mind and is ready to punish you at any time.

Li Chengqian didn’t dare to speak carelessly before, but now facing the eldest princess’s return to Beijing, he needs to think twice before acting.

Because from the very beginning he tried to save himself by distancing himself from the eldest princess, just like a gecko cutting off its tail.

The second prince’s fall from power, his granting of marriage to Fan Ruoruo, and the help from the Fan family were all rewards Li Chengqian received after doing this one thing right.

Emperor Qing wants to take it back? That’s easy.

Li Chengqian considered it again and again, but still said resolutely:

“Your Majesty, I don’t understand. I still don’t know how to get along with the princess. Although she is my aunt, she has always only focused on benefits. She used to be close to me just to get more benefits.”

“Now that I am about to get married to Fan Ruoruo, the Fan family will be my future helper. Fan Xian, who is at odds with her, will also be her enemy. The inner treasury will also be taken away. The eldest princess will definitely be jealous of Fan Xian, and will also hate me.”

“My son, I am speechless in front of the princess. I don’t know how to approach her!”

The prince teaches you how to capture a man’s heart in three sentences.

If Emperor Qing still had some suspicion towards Li Chengqian before.

So now
He would still be suspicious, but not to the extent of being on guard against the Crown Prince and the Eldest Princess having an affair.

Not only did he lose face, but he also brought shame to the entire royal family.

“I have explained it so clearly, do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand?”

Emperor Qing looked down at him from above, sweeping Li Chengqian with a scrutinizing gaze. He had to agree to this request even if he didn’t want to.

However, the way he agreed determined Emperor Qing’s attitude towards him.

Li Chengqian gained the trust of Emperor Qing by first refusing and then reluctantly accepting. It was not until the old man could no longer tolerate his playing dumb that he stammered and nodded in agreement. This was the safest way to accept.
“My son, although it is difficult for me to get along with the princess, if your majesty gives an order, I will obey it!”

Li Chengqian knelt down and understood what he should do next.

The conspiracy between the eldest princess and the second prince is more than just treason.

From small things like their plan to assassinate Fan Xian to big things like the future battle and rebellion in Dadong Mountain.

I’m afraid that Emperor Qing, this shrewd old man, had anticipated this, so he asked the Crown Prince to pretend to contact the Princess to get the news!

If you think about Li Chengqian carefully, it will be terrifying:
Since Emperor Qing was able to guess their plan in advance and even encouraged their rebellion, there should not be a need for a prince like him to lurk around and provide information assistance.

Could this be a major test from Emperor Qing?

Your prince knew about the princess’s rebellion and did not report it:

In the end it was a dead end.

But if the prince is loyal, he will tell you everything he knows.

Maybe then I can find a safe and secure way to become the successor.
Li Chengqian understood this and broke out in a cold sweat. He kowtowed to Emperor Qing to accept the order and solemnly withdrew.

After seeing the prince off, Eunuch Hou returned to Emperor Qing and reported to him about the Qing Pavilion:
“Your Majesty, the Qing Pavilion has been completed and will be open tomorrow for the scholars to handle government affairs.

In addition, after becoming the chief academician, the top scholar Yang Wanli did not have any private contact with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Also, the runner-up Fan is beyond help. The imperial physician judged that day that he had indeed thought of wasting his own energy. If it weren’t for your majesty’s timely help, perhaps his ninth-rank strength would have vanished. Thanks to your majesty’s appreciation of talent and the imperial hospital’s many days of treatment, his strength has only regressed to the eighth rank, and he can be of great use.
Your Majesty? Your Majesty? Are you listening?”

Unexpectedly, Qing Pavilion, which Emperor Qing had always attached great importance to, did not arouse his interest.

On the contrary.

He watched the Crown Prince leave, and Emperor Qing looked at the eunuch beside him:
“You, tell the people around the Crown Prince to keep an eye on every detail of his interactions with the Princess. No matter what happened, what they said, or what kind of tea they drank, they must tell me everything!”

Eunuch Hou didn’t understand why, but he immediately accepted the order:
“Your Highness, I will personally inform your spies that it is time to get to work.”

The Second Prince’s mansion was filled with flowers from Xinyang.

Li Chengze walked into his own house and couldn’t even find a place to stay. He was a little angry but couldn’t refute.

After all, the owner of these flowers is the eldest princess, whom he has to rely on.

“Aunt, look at these flowers. There are so many that I don’t even have a place to stand.”

“Then move some away, won’t there be room?”

The central position in the Second Prince’s Palace no longer belongs to Li Chengze.

Li Yunrui lay on her side on the couch, her delicate body covered by the black veil was even more curvy. Lying on her side, her waist-to-hip ratio, which was as winding as a mountain range, was outlined, forming a sexy and charming curve.

Any man would stand up after seeing this.

But Li Chengze is not a man. No, he doesn’t dare to look, or he doesn’t dare to have any desire even if he looks.

After finally finding a place to sit down, Li Chengze still hadn’t let down his guard against Li Yunrui:

“Aunt, when you return to the capital this time, won’t you go to the Yannian Palace first to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?”

“Why do I have to see him first? Can’t my aunt see you first?” Li Yunrui asked knowingly.

“After all, my aunt has always been close to the Crown Prince and distant from me since she was a child. I am somewhat flattered by this sudden change!”

Li Chengze’s test.

Li Yunrui felt a little irritated. She moved her body, and her plump breasts rose and fell like waves. She supported her face, which had the charm of a mature woman but delicate skin, with her hands, and moved her red lips slightly:
“When my aunt returns to Beijing this time, she can only see you. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not be willing to see me.”

When she spoke to the royal family, she no longer referred to herself as “this palace”.

Even when Li Chengqian was mentioned, he felt a little lonely.
Li Chengze breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the princess would have to stand on his side after returning to the capital. So he told him his next plan:
“After Fan Xian and cousin Wan’er got married, the power of the inner treasury was handed over to him. Does aunt have any other options?”

Li Yunrui sighed sadly, her beautiful eyes slightly closed:
“I can’t do anything to that brat, and Fan Xian now has the support of the Crown Prince. I can’t do anything to him, I can only do something in the inner treasury to see if I can make the Crown Prince give up.”

Li Chengze felt a little jealous. After Li Chengqian and Fan Xian fell out, was his aunt going to stand with the prince again?

He didn’t want to be a substitute for Li Chengqian, he wanted to show his own value in front of the princess:
“Aunt, I heard some news. If you tell Fan Xian and Wan’er about this, I’m afraid their wedding won’t go ahead.”

“Oh? You said.”

“Wan’er’s brother Lin Gong was killed by Fan Xian, or rather, by someone close to him.”

The princess suddenly opened her eyes, her charming fox eyes flashing with murderous intent:
“Do you want to tell Wan’er this news, so that she will hate Fan Xian and ruin their marriage?”

“Why? Auntie can’t bear it anymore?”

Li Chengze sneered inwardly, this was the most unlikely reaction.

Her nephews knew what kind of aunt Li Yunrui was.

He does not get up early without profit, acts madly, and does whatever it takes to achieve his goal. He is indeed worthy of being a brother and sister to that person.
The princess snorted softly, rolled her eyes at the sky, then stretched out her arms, supported her sexy body and slowly stood up. During the process, her black gauze shirt was faintly visible, hiding the hottest figure in the world:
“Chengze, where did you hear this news from? Is it reliable?”

“Aunt, Chengze would never tell you anything untrue. This is what Ye Ling’er, the daughter of the Grand Master Ye family, told me.”

“She, isn’t she Wan’er’s good friend? How could she tell you such a thing?” Li Chengze didn’t raise his head from beginning to end. He didn’t dare to look at the face of this crazy woman:

“I promised her that I would not disrupt the wedding, so she told me the news.”

“So, you want your aunt to do this dirty thing for you? Don’t you know that Wan’er is my daughter?”

Li Yunrui was in a state of rage, her chest rising and falling as she took a deep breath.

Li Chengze also did not see such a beautiful scene, but lowered his head to hide his smile: “Marrying Fan Xian is like Wan’er jumping into a fire pit. In order to prevent her daughter from marrying the wrong person, aunt ruined the marriage. This is not unreasonable, it is for the good of her daughter.”

Li Chengze’s move of driving the tiger to devour the wolf not only gave Li Yunrui an opportunity to attack, but also gave her a reason to explain to Wan’er.

The princess smiled faintly: “If you were as smart as this before I came back, you wouldn’t have to write to me for help.”

“This matter is not that simple. Let me think about it.”

“Aunt, please think twice and make a decision as soon as possible.”

Li Yunrui left, twisting her plump peach buttocks.

Li Chengze raised his head, his small eyes filled with hatred:
“When I succeed in my bid for the throne, you, the aunt who humiliated me, will die a miserable death!”

Yannian Hall.

Ever since Emperor Qing assigned him the mission of being a spy.

Li Chengqian has not been sleeping well these days and is always woken up by nightmares.

once.

When he and Qingzhu were having fun.

In a trance, Qingzhu turned around and saw Li Yunrui’s coquettish face.

“Auntie, don’t!!!”

Li Chengqian was so frightened that he trembled all over and woke up immediately, his head covered in sweat.

It was only when Qingzhu leaned against him and gently plucked and rubbed his hair that he regained his energy.
The tragic death of the prince in the original novel made him very scared. Li Chengqian must not die in such an unclear way!
Isn’t it just pretending to be on good terms with the princess and sneaking into the rebel group as a traitor? I can definitely do it!

Li Chengqian patted his chest to cheer himself up.

Qingzhu gave him a resentful look as if he was not full:
“Your Highness, can you pat your chest?”

“Sorry, I made a mistake. Let’s try again.”

Li Chengqian slowly stood up and came to the main hall with Qingzhu, and saw the little girl Jiang Ziyan running over:

“Your Highness, the Princess requests an audience!”

“Qingzhu, please entertain the princess for me. I suddenly have a backache.”

The courage that Li Chengqian had mustered up just now began to disappear when he heard the eldest princess asking for an audience.

Nima!

What if the princess has a private chat with him?

Take the initiative to talk to him in advance. What should I do about the embarrassing incident when he was a child, when he stared at his aunt’s chest and wanted to drink milk?
What if the eldest princess takes the initiative to make friends with him?

What if we even make some vague star hints?
If these things were to get outside, Li Chengqian, who had successfully cleared himself in front of Emperor Qing, would inevitably get into trouble!

“Aunt, please don’t force me.”

Li Chengqian was holding his belt, actually touching his corset sword.

In case something despicable happens later, he will be prepared.

“Please come in, Princess. I will meet her.”

“Yes.”

Qingzhu was worried about Jiang Ziyan’s ability to do the job, so he went out personally and brought the eldest princess in.

Li Chengqian was sitting on the high platform of the Yannian Hall and saw his aunt walking towards him in a pure white slim-fitting long dress. Her slender waist outlined by the corset and the huge fruits on the thin branches complemented each other, making him feel dizzy.

Coupled with Li Yunrui’s foxy face that could bring disaster to the country and the people, if she were not a princess of a country, she would definitely become the top courtesan in Baoyue Tower once in a hundred years.
Bah! Don’t get the wrong idea. That’s your aunt!

“Princess, please take a seat.”

Li Chengqian had a serious and handsome face.

But in the eyes of the eldest princess, he is so handsome and so attractive.

Li Yunrui wanted to swallow up this nephew whom she had raised since childhood. Seeing him so distant, she covered her chest with her hands, her eyebrows and eyes flickered, looking at the prince with resentment and grievance:

“Cheng Qian, you haven’t seen your aunt for only half a year, are you so distant from her?”

Li Chengqian gritted his teeth, but this slutty mature woman acted like a little woman and seduced him with an aggrieved look, which made him almost unable to resist. It was the XP instinct cultivated by the eldest princess since childhood that was at work!
He finally understood why the prince in the original novel was so absurd that he asked the maid beside him to cover his face and upper body with clothes, and then shouted his aunt’s name while exercising, and was heard by Hong Zhu, the inner ghost.
This woman, Li Yunrui, is a beauty that brings disaster, and she is as beautiful as a demon!

Li Chengqian circulated the Dahuangting Qi to calm his mind and remained calm:

“Princess, please call me Prince!”

“.”

Li Yunrui pursed her red lips slightly in grievance. She was already an aunt, but her big watery eyes were as lovable as a girl. She had a bitter look on her face, and it made people feel even more distressed when she felt so aggrieved.

Li Chengqian had the urge to risk his life and give up everything to comfort the eldest princess.

I wish I could hold the princess in my arms and shout:
Aunt, I was wrong, actually I declared you!
Li Chengqian bit his tongue and used his seventh-grade strength to calm himself down.

Not to mention him, even Qingzhu and Jiang Ziyan, who were watching the tea service, were surprised:
Why did the princess show such an unsatisfied and resentful expression towards the Crown Prince?

Is it possible?

She wants it too?
Qingzhu was born with a keen sense of love rivals, and she was the first to notice that something was wrong with the eldest princess.

Jiang Ziyan leaned against the doorpost and was lazy. From time to time, she took out one or two cakes and stuffed them into her mouth when no one was watching.

But now that the princess and the prince were confronting each other, the strange atmosphere made her feel that the cakes had changed their taste:
“It tastes sour. Is this pastry expired or spoiled?”

Jiang Ziyan hadn’t finished speaking.

He does not mean that.

Li Yunrui turned his head and glared at Jiang Ziyan. The fox eyes that had just been charming and lovable in front of the prince suddenly became sharp and full of murderous intent:
“Why does Cheng Qian keep such an unruly servant around him?”

“Aunt cleaned her up for you.”

“how?”

Li Yunrui turned around and sat opposite the prince’s table, still not being honest. She leaned down like a cat, and the loose neckline of her slim white dress suddenly revealed her spring scenery. Her pair of snow-capped mountains were magnificent.
Li Chengqian calmed himself down and slammed the table angrily:

“How many times have I told you this? When you’re talking about serious matters, call me Prince! Don’t you understand?!”

Princess: ???!!!!
