Chapter 125 Fan Ruoruo's Rage! Where is my brother? (13)
In Li Chengze's palace.
The eldest princess rushed in like a madman.
At this stage, most people thought that Li Yunrui and the prince were in the same party.
Not many people knew that Li Yunrui supported the second prince.
But now that Li Yunrui has made such a fuss, I'm afraid many people will know about it.
The Second Prince was frightened when he saw Li Yunrui rushing into the study room angrily.
"Xie Bian, Fan Wujiu, tell irrelevant people to stay away and not come near without orders!"
Xie Bian took the order and left, and Li Yunrui also sat down behind Li Chengze's desk.
"Aunt, why are you here? You have to be grounded for a year!"
"And... we agreed that you would pretend to support the prince..."
Li Chengze almost gritted his teeth and reminded Li Yunrui in a low voice.
Li Yunrui sneered mockingly, what do you mean by pretending to support or truly supporting?
You two losers, do you deserve my support?
The person she supported the most was her brother the emperor. As for the crown prince and the second prince, they were actually firmly under her control.
No matter who succeeds to the throne in the future, no one will be able to shake Li Yunrui's tremendous power!
But now, she felt the cruel betrayal of her emperor brother!
"Li Chengze! Shut up!"
Hearing Li Yunrui's almost hysterical roar, the second prince shrank his neck in fear.
He knew that Li Yunrui was crazy, but when he worked with him, he didn't go crazy very often.
"I want Fan Xian to die!"
Li Yunrui knocked all of Li Chengze's four treasures of the study to the ground and roared at Li Chengze again across the desk.
From the moment she walked in, Li Chengze knew why Li Yunrui came.
As a prince who grew up in the palace, he knew everything about Ye Qingmei's past.
"Auntie... calm down!"
Li Yunrui seemed to have regained his composure suddenly, but his tone was frighteningly cold.
"Ye Qingmei's son must die!"
Li Chengze was very worried about Li Yunrui's condition because their cooperation was currently centered around Li Yunrui.
Li Yunrui has been in business for many years and has much more resources than Li Chengze.
If Li Yunrui forced him to do something, he would probably find it difficult to resist!
"Aunt, you should know that since this matter has been made public, His Majesty will not allow anyone to kill him!"
Emperor Qing did not allow anyone to kill Fan Xian, not just because Fan Xian was his illegitimate son.
The most important thing is that Fan Xian has the secret of the temple in his mind!
When Li Yunrui heard the word "Your Majesty", he became even more furious!
"But your majesty owes me this!"
"Over the years, I have given His Majesty whatever he needed!"
"I am the one who is doing the things that are inconvenient for him to do! I am the one who is inconvenient for him to investigate! I am the one who is inconvenient for him to kill!"
"You know what! It's me!
It’s me, Li Yunrui, not someone else! Not Ye Qingmei! "
Li Chengze grabbed the alpaca's head in pain, lowered his body very low, and lowered his voice.
"Aunt, be careful with your words...be careful with your words!"
But Li Yunrui was completely furious and burst into tears in an instant.
"I, Li Yunrui, will do my best for my brother the Emperor!"
"But I left you a rose, what did you leave me?"
"Over the years, I have done everything according to your Majesty's wishes!"
"But not this time! No matter what Your Majesty thinks, I must kill Fan Xian!"
Li Chengze felt a headache when he saw that Li Yunrui didn't recognize his relatives.
"Aunt, but Fan Xian is just an illegitimate child and poses no threat to me."
“It’s hard to say who will be in charge of the inner treasury, but His Majesty will definitely let him take charge of the Inspection Office.
I should try to win the support of such a person!"
At this time, Li Yunrui cried and laughed and said, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"You are responsible for the Niulan Street assassination!"
"You want to win over Fan Xian, do you think it's possible?"
The Niulan Street assassination was originally instigated by Li Yunrui, but she was so smart that she managed to get both the crown prince and the second prince involved.
Now that she wants to deal with Fan Xian, of course she has to get Li Chengze, who has a higher degree of cooperation, to stand on her side.
As for the Crown Prince, the Queen will not let Fan Xian go!
"Listen carefully, second brother! Smuggling with the enemy country is something you and I are doing together!"
"Those 10,000 private soldiers are raised by you and me together!"
"Your so-called followers in the court were bought by me with money from the inner treasury!"
"Li Chengze! If you help Fan Xian, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Hearing these words, Li Chengze couldn't help but sweat profusely!
It is too dangerous to cooperate with the emotionally stable eldest princess.
But the resources in this aunt's hands are really tempting.
Over the years, the two have not had much disagreement, but today their ideas are completely different.
Li Chengze clenched his teeth and bit his nails with his teeth, looking very anxious.
Li Yunrui said sternly again, "Second brother! Give aunt an answer!"
Li Chengze was helpless, "Aunt, now that Fan Xian's identity has been exposed, there are as many people who want to kill him as there are people who want to protect him!"
"You came here directly against my will. Wouldn't Father and Chen Pingping be prepared?"
"Are Chen Pingping's Black Cavalry, my father's Tiger Guards, and the inner court masters just for show?"
Li Yunrui stared into Li Chengze's eyes and said, "What I want is your attitude!"
Thinking of what Li Yunrui had just said, Li Chengze felt that he had no choice.
"In this case, then Fan Xian can only be my enemy!"
Li Yunrui patted Li Chengze on the shoulder and said, "Very good, Auntie wants you to say this."
"With the two of us here, Fan Xian will be thrilled at every step after returning to Kyoto!"
"Aunt is thinking about you and won't let you go head-on with the Black Cavalry and the Tiger Guards. I will do the assassination on the way back to Beijing."
Li Chengze really couldn't understand Li Yunrui's irrationality.
"But Auntie, why would you do something if you know it won't succeed?"
Li Yunrui had already turned around and walked to the door. She turned back and said fiercely, "I want to let Fan Xian know that he is not welcome in Kyoto! The royal family of Qing Kingdom does not welcome him!"
Royal study room.
Eunuch Hou trotted all the way and told Emperor Qing about the eldest princess's visit to the second prince's mansion.
Although he is the eldest princess's man, he still has to do his job.
After hearing this, Emperor Qing was not surprised at all, "You go down! Ask Hong Sixiang to come over, and then summon Chen Pingping!"
After Eunuch Hou left, Emperor Qing said to himself, "Ever since Wu Zhu showed up at the Qing Temple to save Fan Xian, I knew someone would guess Fan Xian's identity."
"This is something that will happen sooner or later. It's not a bad thing to make it public sooner. I want to see who is on my side and who is secretly plotting against me!"
Not long after, Hong Sixiang appeared, "Your Majesty, this old servant is here."
Emperor Qing said, "Send ten good inner court warriors, reveal their identities and protect Fan Xian!"
Hong Sixiang took the order and left. Half an hour later, Chen Pingping also came before the emperor.
"Old man, did Fan Jian give you any trouble?"
Chen Pingping smiled innocently and said, "He scolded me for an hour and insisted that I arrest someone to suppress the news."
"I think that without your Majesty's order, it is better to make it public."
"I have already sent five hundred black cavalrymen to the border overnight to protect Fan Xian."
"But at a time like this, any normal person would know how unwise it would be to assassinate Fan Xian."
Emperor Qing snorted coldly and said, "You are right, but there are abnormal people in this world!"
Of course Chen Pingping knew that Emperor Qing was talking about Li Yunrui.
"Five hundred black knights are enough to resist her manpower. I believe she is just demonstrating and will not use her trump card."
Emperor Qing drew his bow and arrow and said coldly, "What an unreasonable lunatic!"
Chen Pingping was pushed out of the imperial study, and his hands unconsciously touched the handle of the wheelchair with the shotgun on it.
He was also unable to calm down after this news came to light.
"Fan Jian cursed for an hour. Judging from his behavior over the years, Xiao Ye's death should have nothing to do with him."
"Back then, Xiao Ye died tragically, and the Empress Dowager's mother's family was eliminated by our own hands, but there must be someone behind the scenes pushing for it."
"Now it seems that all of this was done by His Majesty, and he has reasons to kill Xiao Ye!"
Chen Pingping, who appeared calm on the surface, was inexplicably filled with a huge wave of hatred deep in his heart.
"The night Xiao Ye died, Fan Jian, Li Zhi, and I were not in Kyoto, and Wu Zhu was not with her!"
"She had just given birth to Fan Xian. At that time, she was so lonely and desperate!"
"My Lord, I will make you endure the loneliness of Little Leaf a thousand times more!"
"Everyone with the surname Li in this palace deserves to die!
You deserve to be murdered, to commit incest and to be corrupted, and your entire family to be exterminated!"
Fan Mansion.
Fan Jian scolded Chen Pingping for a long time in the Inspection Institute, but ultimately failed to get Chen Pingping to help suppress the news.
When he returned to the Fan Mansion in a depressed mood, he found Fan Ruoruo waiting for him in the main hall.
Fan Ruoruo, who was usually well-behaved, had a rather cold expression, while Liu Ruyu and Fan Sizhe beside her were also silent.
"Ruoruo, what's wrong with you?"
Fan Ruoruo frowned and got straight to the point, "Father, where is my biological brother?"
Hearing this, Fan Jian was suddenly shocked!
Back then, in order to save Ye Qingmei and Emperor Qing's child, Fan Jian exchanged his newly born eldest son for Fan Xian.
His eldest son, naturally the eldest son of the eldest branch of the Fan family, also died in Taiping Villa.
"Ruoruo, hasn't your father told you many times?"
"Your eldest brother was in poor health and died shortly after birth. Your father has consulted many famous doctors, but all medicines are ineffective!"
Tears suddenly welled up in Fan Ruoruo's eyes, "So, what about my mother?
Why did she become depressed and die soon after giving birth to me? "
Fan Jian said angrily, "Ruoruo! What on earth do you want to say!"
"Your eldest brother died young, so your mother became depressed. Is that a problem?"
Fan Ruoruo obviously didn't believe this. "With your financial resources, if all the medicines are ineffective and you are doing your best to save her, why would she be so upset?"
As she spoke, she took out a tattered book from her bosom.
"The title page of this book records the important time between you, His Majesty, Dean Chen, and Prince Jing from the time they met Ye Qingmei to her death!"
"March 15th of the 57th year of the Qing Dynasty era is the day Ye Qingmei was murdered. It is also the day my eldest brother passed away!"
There was a flash of panic in Fan Jian's eyes, and he snatched the book away.
The information that I casually wrote down back then was actually found by Fan Ruoruo. This girl wouldn't still be brooding over her mother's death, would she?
Fan Jian smiled and said, "Ruoruo, this is of course a coincidence. You are just too smart and think too much."
Fan Ruoruo sneered and said, "After my eldest brother passed away, you and mother were arguing about something, did you really think that no servants heard it?"
"Whose life did you exchange for your innocent brother?"
After hearing what Fan Ruoruo said, Fan Jian felt even more annoyed.
He was not as cruel as Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping, and did not silence the servants who might have heard a few words.
Fan Ruoruo continued, "Ever since Fan Xian came to Beijing, I have been wondering why you treat him better than Sizhe and I!"
"Is it as simple as that he is a bastard and owes something?"
"Until now, the news has spread that Fan Xian is the son of Ye Qingmei and His Majesty. I finally matched all the clues!"
"In order to please His Majesty, you actually used your own son's life to exchange for His Majesty and Ye Qingmei's son!"
Although Fan Ruoruo guessed Fan Jian's motive wrong, she was not wrong about the result.
In this timeline, because Fan Ruoruo did not grow up with Fan Xian, she spent a lot of time investigating the cause of her mother's death.
As a smart person with a gift of memory, if I had paid attention, I would have been able to find clues over the years.
"On the night of March 15th, the 57th year of the Qing Dynasty era, the child who was killed together with Ye Qingmei...
Not her son, but my eldest brother, my mother's son!"
"Father, you only have eyes for your Majesty brothers, and have completely forgotten my mother and my eldest brother!"
"But I didn't forget!"
When Fan Ruoruo said this, Fan Jian became completely furious!
"Shut up! This matter has nothing to do with Your Majesty!"
"Xiao Ye's son cannot die!"
Hearing Fan Jian's words, Fan Ruoruo was stunned, and Liu Ruyu and Fan Sizhe were also shocked!
Fan Jian exchanged his own son for Fan Xian, not for His Majesty, but because he admired Ye Qingmei?
What a deep admiration it takes to do such an incredible thing!
Fan Ruoruo said with tears in her eyes, "Ye Qingmei's son can't die?
My mother's son can die? My mother can die?"
This sentence hit Fan Jian's sore spot. The death of his eldest son and wife was entirely caused by him.
“Ruoruo! You…you are so outrageous!”
Fan Ruoruo wiped her tears and said, "Don't worry, no one will be so rude to you again! I'm going back to my grandfather's house!"
Fan Ruoruo left home in anger, and Liu Ruyu took Fan Sizhe away quietly, fearing that she would anger Fan Jian again.
When the two of them walked away, Fan Sizhe suddenly said seriously, "Mom, I'll take you back to grandpa's house!"
Liu Ruyu said in surprise, "Why are you making trouble? Ruoruo will come back naturally when she calms down."
Fan Sizhe said with great sorrow, "Mom, you still don't understand!"
"Dad is willing to sacrifice even his own son for Ye Qingmei's son!"
"Then wouldn't it be very dangerous for me? If Fan Xian and I fell into the river at the same time, Fan Jian would definitely save Fan Xian!"
Liu Ruyu slapped Fan Sizhe on the forehead, "Don't you know how to swim? What nonsense are you talking about!"
Fan Sizhe covered his head and said, "I was just making an analogy, the truth is that!"
"Mom, please think about it carefully, is this the truth?"
