Chapter 464 Joy of Life 20
Li Chengze quickly waved his hand to interrupt Xie Bi'an, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down before signaling Xie Bi'an to continue.
Thus, Li Chengze fully witnessed the Crown Prince's 'intelligence and wisdom' from the news that came today.
It turns out that the Crown Prince and Li Yunrui's faction did not want Fan Xian to enter the capital and successfully marry Lin Wan'er. So the two of them took advantage of the opportunity when the palace maids went out of the palace to go shopping, and had these palace maids ambush Fan Xian on his way. When Fan Xian appeared, they immediately took off their clothes and rushed at him, trying to ruin Fan Xian's reputation.
Li Chengze: Ah, this...
At that moment, Li Chengze, like Emperor Qing, was both amused and exasperated by the Crown Prince's absurd plan.
If the Crown Prince and the Eldest Princess are truly unwilling to hand over the Imperial Treasury, then they could take more direct measures to eliminate Fan Xian and solve all the problems at their root.
After all, Fan Xian is just Fan Jian's illegitimate son. As long as he uses clean methods, would Emperor Qing really depose the crown prince because of this?
Even with Emperor Qing's temperament, although he might be somewhat annoyed, he would also be pleased that the Crown Prince had grown up, and would then quietly clean up his messes.
As for Fan Jian, he was just a vice minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He had no solid evidence, so what could he do to the crown prince?
However, the crown prince chose such a crude and inferior method, which, if spread, would only make him a laughingstock.
Even Li Chengze, his opponent, felt somewhat embarrassed at this moment.
However, today Emperor Qing unexpectedly went to the temple, bringing Lin Wan'er with him, which was quite surprising.
What's even more surprising is that Emperor Qing actually helped Fan Xian get rid of those palace maids.
Fan Xian!
Fan Xian was just an illegitimate son of Fan Jian, and he grew up in Danzhou. If it weren't for Emperor Qing's bestowal of marriage, probably no one in the entire capital would know that Fan Jian actually had such a big illegitimate son.
Why does Emperor Qing value Fan Xian so much? And how did he know of Fan Xian's existence?
Li Chengze leaned against the armchair, lost in thought.
After a moment, he finally couldn't resist and used his mental power again to go to the Fan residence to find out what was going on.
Although he had used his telekinesis to glimpse the Crown Prince's disgraceful side last time, it was purely due to the Crown Prince's own moral failings and had nothing to do with telekinesis itself.
His telekinesis is currently his most powerful trump card, and its effectiveness is undeniable, so he should use it when necessary.
In order to get rid of his psychological trauma, Li Chengze would use his telekinesis more frequently than before, using it to probe every subtle movement in Kyoto.
I want to use this method to get rid of the shadow I once saw with my telekinesis as soon as possible.
So, after Li Chengze used his telekinesis to circle around the Fan residence, he received some shocking news.
Fan Xian is Ye Qingmei's son!
Li Chengze!!!
Thankfully, he didn't abandon his psychic powers because of his past trauma.
Otherwise, how could he have obtained such important information?
Fan Xian is actually Ye Qingmei's son!
Li Chengze instantly perked up, enveloped in an irrepressible excitement.
Ye Qingmei, who traveled from another time, built a vast empire in the Qing Kingdom on her own, and even helped Emperor Qing ascend the throne.
This explains why Emperor Qing values Fan Xian so much.
Because Emperor Qing valued Ye Qingmei's son more than Fan Xian.
Therefore, Emperor Qing's sudden bestowal of a marriage upon Fan Xian was not merely a simple act of replacing the manager of the Imperial Treasury; there must have been some unknown scheming behind it.
However, Li Chengze temporarily put all of these aside, focusing on only one thing:
My dear child!
This is Ye Qingmei's child, the transmigrator's child, a living, breathing child!
Suddenly, Li Chengze seemed to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and he was instantly revitalized.
Thus, Xie Bi'an watched helplessly as his prince, who had been ill for over a month and had just been somewhat listless, suddenly became energetic in the blink of an eye.
His eyes, which had been dull for so long, were now incredibly bright, showing no signs of having been sick for a month.
After witnessing the entire process of Li Chengze's recovery, Xie Bi'an was greatly shocked and filled with questions.
What just happened?
How did Your Highness suddenly recover from your illness?
What did he miss?
Is this rate of recovery normal?
Xie Bi'an was puzzled, but he was relieved to see that Li Chengze was alright.
After all, these people all depend on Li Chengze for their existence.
Over the years, I don't know how many things I've done for Li Chengze.
If anything were to happen to Li Chengze, every single one of them would be subject to the Crown Prince's retribution.
Moreover, they had long regarded Li Chengze as a wise ruler and had devoted themselves to him with all their loyalty.
Therefore, they had already made preparations in private. If Li Chengze really got into trouble, they would risk their lives to kill the Crown Prince to avenge Li Chengze and repay the Prince's kindness.
Indeed, everyone, including Xie Bi'an, believed that Li Chengze's serious illness was caused by the Crown Prince.
So after Li Chengze issued the order to cause trouble for the Crown Prince, these people acted as if Li Chengze was already dead. They were so angry that their eyes turned red, and they began to frantically attack the Crown Prince's power, causing the Crown Prince a lot of headaches lately.
But considering how crazy these people are, Li Chengze is probably in trouble.
Thinking about it this way, the crown prince became happy again.
Upon seeing this, Li Chengze's men became even more furious.
Afterwards, while worrying about his own prince, he attacked the crown prince even more fiercely.
Even the officials in the court who had sided with Li Chengze began to tacitly join the ranks of those suppressing the Crown Prince.
Their previous alliance with the Second Prince had already made them a target of the Crown Prince's suspicion, making it highly unlikely that the two sides would become friends.
Since that's the case, why not take this opportunity to overthrow the Crown Prince? Even if that's not possible, we can still use the Second Prince's remaining influence to eliminate as much of the Crown Prince's faction as possible, and then use this achievement to switch allegiance to another prince.
In short, the Crown Prince has had a bittersweet experience over the past month.
On the one hand, he was relieved that one of his powerful competitors was about to be eliminated from his path to the throne. On the other hand, he was also troubled by Li Chengze's subordinates who had lost their leader and were beginning to launch a frantic counterattack.
Li Chengze witnessed all of this, but he did not intervene; instead, he let the situation develop as it did.
Using his illness as a catalyst, he fully mobilized the emotions of his subordinates, making them anxious and fearful of losing their protection, and launched a frenzied attack on the Crown Prince's forces, completely cutting off any possibility of them siding with the Crown Prince in the future.
The current chaotic situation presents a perfect opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
