Looking at the sleeping Chen Yuanyuan, Qin Fan felt a little dazed.

This legendary beauty seemed to be somewhat different from what he had imagined.

At least in front of him, she didn’t seem so cold.

It can be seen that this girl worked very hard just now and is exhausted now.

Qin Fan didn’t disturb her and went out quietly.

Just as I was about to order some food, I heard a familiar voice.

“Brother Qin, we meet again!”

Qin Fan looked over when he heard that and immediately took a breath of cold air.

“Brother Lu, why is it you again?”

The person who came was Lu Xiaofeng.

Now Qin Fan is afraid to see this guy. Lu Xiaofeng has the physique of a plague god. Wherever he goes, trouble happens.

Now, he has come to the capital, and something might happen in the capital.

Now Qin Fan just wants to leave here quickly and doesn’t want to be entangled by this guy.

“Brother Qin, what do you mean by this? Does Brother Qin hate me?”

Lu Xiaofeng walked forward nonchalantly.

“I’m telling you, Brother Lu, wherever you go, something bad will happen. I’m even afraid to see you now!”

Qin Fan said somewhat helplessly, but unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xiaofeng clapped his hands and laughed.

“Brother Qin really understands me. I am actually helpless, but there is nothing I can do. Problems always come to me!”

“Brother Qin knows that I, Lu Xiaofeng, value my friends the most. If a friend finds me, I can’t help but help, right?”

When Qin Fan heard this, he cursed himself for being a bad-mouthed person.

What Lu Xiaofeng meant by this was that he was asked to do something again!
“Brother Lu, let me make this clear first. I just want to go back quickly. Don’t look for me if you have any problems!”

Qin Fan immediately blocked Lu Xiaofeng’s mouth, turned around and was about to walk back, but Lu Xiaofeng came up to him again.

“Brother Qin, don’t be like this. This time, you are the only one who can do it!”

Qin Fan was a little surprised when he heard this and looked at Lu Xiaofeng curiously.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaofeng pulled Qin Fan to find a place to sit down, and then began to explain.

“Brother Qin, have you heard about the duel between Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the night of the full moon?”

“Ah?” Qin Fan was slightly stunned when he heard this. “I just came back from the King of Zhennan, and I really haven’t heard about this!”

“Alas, this matter has been a hot topic these days. I don’t know what’s going on with Ye Gucheng. He chose the palace as the venue for the competition. The key is that the emperor actually agreed! I always feel that there is something fishy here!” Lu Xiaofeng sighed.

“You’re here, so there must be something going on, right?”

Qin Fan felt helpless to complain, as he knew the whole story very well.

But he really doesn’t want to get involved in these things anymore.

“I agree with what Brother Qin said, but I didn’t expect it to happen so quickly!”

As Lu Xiaofeng spoke, he took out a clay figurine from his arms and handed it to Qin Fan.

“Not long ago, Li Daben, a wealthy businessman in the city, died. All the clues pointed to Ximen Chuixue. I suspected that someone wanted to cause trouble. I followed the investigation but only found this clay figurine!”

“It’s a pity that the clay figurine’s appearance can no longer be seen clearly!”

“This is Ye Gucheng!” Qin Fan spoke directly.

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng was obviously stunned.

“Why are you so sure, Brother Qin?”

“Aren’t you curious about why the emperor agreed to let them compete in the palace? Because it was Prince Nan who proposed this matter!”

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Qin Fan silently, still looking confused.

“What is the connection between Ye Gucheng and the Prince of Nan?”

“I robbed the Nanwang Mansion not long ago and met Ye Gucheng. That guy is now a guard at the Nanwang Mansion.”

Qin Fan just wanted to resolve the matter quickly, so he simply told Lu Xiaofeng everything he knew.

“No one in the world has ever seen the appearance of the Prince of the Southern King, but no one knows why the Prince of the Southern King wants to hide his appearance!”

“In fact, the Prince of Nan and the current emperor are twins from the same mother. They look exactly the same!”

When Qin Fan said this, Lu Xiaofeng took a breath of cold air.

“Brother Qin, this is not a joke!”

“Do you think I’m joking?” Qin Fan looked at Lu Xiaofeng helplessly and continued to explain: “When the queen gave birth to twins, something unexpected happened in the palace, so she gave one of the children to the Southern Prince.”

“According to the Ming Dynasty’s ancestral system, the princes of the Ming Dynasty should be granted fiefdoms in other places. Why did the Southern Prince stay in the capital? Do you really think that the Southern Prince ignored state affairs, so he was granted special permission by the emperor?”

Qin Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly, “That’s just because the emperor loves his brother!”

“It is precisely because of this relationship that the Prince of the South was able to convince the Emperor to allow Ximen Chuxue and his men to compete in the Imperial Palace!”

“However, this is also the conspiracy of the Southern King!”

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng instantly became interested.

“Is the Southern King related to this matter?”

“Of course, Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng are both masters at the Grandmaster level. When they compete, many palace guards will be mobilized. Then, the Prince of the Southern King can plot to usurp the throne!”

“You must know that he and the current emperor are brothers from the same mother. If he were to use someone else’s power as a substitute, no one would notice!”

After hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng felt his mind go blank.

He originally thought that this was just a matter of the underworld, but he never imagined that there would be such a secret behind it!
“Okay, I’ve told you everything I need to tell you. Don’t involve me in this matter!”

As Qin Fan was about to get up and leave, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly spoke up to stop Qin Fan.

“Brother Qin, wait a moment!”

Lu Xiaofeng digested what Qin Fan had just said and calmed down. Then he remembered the reason why he came to find Qin Fan.

“Brother Qin, the reason I came to you this time is actually to ask you to come forward and stop the two of them from fighting!”

“Although I haven’t found out the truth, I also realized that something was wrong, so I wanted to stop them from fighting. Unfortunately, I don’t have the ability to do so!”

“I just happened to hear that Brother Qin was here, so I came to see him!”

When Qin Fan heard this, he was shocked and asked.

“How do I stop them?”

“Brother Qin just needs to make a move and seriously injure one of them!”
