Chapter 5: A Night of Spring is Worth a Thousand Gold

The night deepens and the stars twinkle.

Inside the Fan Mansion, candlelight flickered.

Fan Ruoruo's heart seemed to be hanging in mid-air.

She was anxiously waiting for the return of Fan Xian and Fan Sizhe, and she couldn't help feeling worried.

Thinking of Li Chengyun's notorious reputation, she felt even more uneasy. Would her brother encounter any misfortune?
She felt like sitting on pins and needles, pacing back and forth in the mansion, looking towards the door from time to time, hoping that the familiar figure would appear soon.

Finally, when she made up her mind to go out to find out the news, she heard light footsteps.

Fan Xian and Fan Sizhe finally appeared at the door, and they walked in side by side.

Fan Ruoruo went up to them, but found that the two of them seemed to be in a strange state.

Although Fan Sizhe looked a little weak, Fan Xian was pale, his steps were light, and his eyes were dull, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

Her heart tightened, and she quickly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Brother, are you okay? What did Li Chengyun do to you?"

As Fan Ruoruo asked, she circled around Fan Xian, carefully examining his body, fearing that he would be hurt in the slightest.

Fan Sizhe wanted to explain, but when he saw Fan Xian's warning look, he immediately understood and swallowed his words.

Fan Xian spoke weakly, with a hint of fatigue in his voice: "I'm fine, but the methods used by that dandy prince were really powerful, and I was caught off guard."

Hearing this, Fan Ruoruo became even more worried: "Brother, what about my marriage?"

Fan Xian's heart trembled, and then he remembered that he had been having so much fun in Zuixianju that he forgot about this matter.

He quickly adjusted his breathing and pretended to be calm and comforted her: "Don't worry, sister. I will go meet Li Chengyun tomorrow and I will definitely not let this scum become your husband."

He made a solemn promise, which gradually dispelled Fan Ruoruo's worries.

She smiled happily and held Fan Xian's hand tightly: "Brother, I knew you were the best!"

Seeing his elder sister's happy face, Fan Sizhe felt helpless.

He secretly thought that his judgment of Fan Xian, this bastard, seemed to be wrong.

I am going to meet the boss again tomorrow. Do I have to step into Zuixianju again?
He sighed softly, thinking that Fan Xian's life was even more tiring than that of a busy bee.

……

And in another corner of Zuixianju.

The door opened slightly and Si Lili walked in.

Her eyebrows are like a crescent moon, her eyes are like autumn water, her lips are bright red, and her every frown and smile reveals a unique charm.

She was wearing a black sequined long dress, with a voluptuous figure, like a blooming black peony, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

Si Lili walked lightly behind Li Chengyun, stretched out her slender hands and gently wrapped them around his waist, with a bit of resentment and grievance in her eyes, she whispered:

"Your Highness, you are such a cruel person. You swore that I would always be your woman, but now you want to marry someone else. How can I bear this?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengyun turned around and gently pulled Si Lili into his arms.

No matter how she struggled, he held her tightly.

He looked at Si Lili's affectionate eyes, and a surge of tenderness surged in his heart.

He gently soothed her, "Li Li, please relax! It was just Father's whim, not my true wish!"

"Besides, it's just an engagement. I will never really marry her!"

"In my heart, there is only you from beginning to end!"

When Si Lili heard this, her face suddenly turned red.

She gazed into Li Chengyun's affectionate eyes, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She asked softly, "Your Highness, what are you going to do?"

Li Chengyun took a deep look at Si Lili, and naturally understood her identity and purpose.

The spies sent by Northern Qi wanted to spy on the situation in the court.

He smiled lightly and said casually: "What else can I do? When my father calms down, I will try to please him a few more times!" "Then I will ask him to cancel the engagement!"

"After all, I am the emperor's biological son. How could he not allow such a small matter? Li Li, when the time comes, I will definitely make you my concubine!"

As he spoke, Li Chengyun's eyes became more and more passionate, as if he wanted to melt Si Lili completely in his tenderness.

Facing Li Chengyun's eyes that seemed to want to eat her alive, Si Lili smiled gently, charmingly and attractively.

She stretched out her slender hand, gently placed it on Li Chengyun's chest, drew circles with her fingertips, and said softly:
"Your Highness, I look forward to that day."

The distance between the two people was getting shorter and shorter, almost merging into one.

Si Lili snuggled into Li Chengyun's arms and asked with pretended curiosity:
"By the way, Your Highness, the one who came with Young Master Fan Sizhe just now, could he also be a young master of the Fan family?"

There was a glimmer of cunning in her eyes. This method of gathering information was a little too obvious.

Li Chengyun frowned slightly, seeming a little helpless about Si Lili mentioning Fan Xian.

But he did not hide it and said frankly: "Yes, that is the illegitimate son that Si Nanbo raised in Danzhou, the illegitimate son of the Fan family, named Fan Xian."

Si Lili was moved when she heard this, but she remained calm and continued to ask:

"So he is Si Nanbo's illegitimate son. I have also heard some rumors about him."

Her eyes lit up, as if she had developed a strong interest in Fan Xian's identity: "Why did this illegitimate son of Lord Si Nan suddenly come to Kyoto? Isn't Lord Si Nan afraid that he will clash with Master Sizhe?"

Li Chengyun couldn't help feeling unhappy when he saw that Si Lili was so concerned about Fan Xian's affairs.

But he still maintained a calm tone and replied: "Oh, he originally lived in Danzhou, but because his father, the emperor, arranged a marriage, Si Nanbo allowed him to come to the capital."

"Arranged marriage?" Si Lili widened her eyes in surprise when she heard that.

Emperor Qing actually favors him?

She wondered in her heart why Emperor Qing attached so much importance to a bastard of the Fan family. Was there really something extraordinary about Fan Xian?
Si Lili continued to ask: "I wonder which family this girl is from?"

Li Chengyun gently stroked Si Lili's hair and replied softly, "She is the girl from the Lin family."

"Which Lin family?" Si Lili's curiosity was completely aroused, and she wanted to know more about Fan Xian and the girl from the Lin family.

"Which other Lin family in Kyoto can become a relative of Si Nanbo?"

Si Lili's eyes widened, her pupils shrank slightly, and she couldn't help but whisper, "Could it be the daughter of the prime minister's mansion?"

Li Chengyun nodded gently and said slowly: "It is her."

Si Lili was still puzzled, and frowned slightly: "How could a daughter of the Lin family marry a bastard?"

Li Chengyun pretended to be helpless and shook his head: "This is all the will of the emperor, how can I know the reason?"

Si Lili's questions came like a barrage of questions. Li Chengyun was already a little overwhelmed and felt a little impatient.

He took a deep breath, then reached out and interlocked his fingers with Si Lili, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

"Lili, stop thinking about those trivial things. The moonlight is as bright as water tonight, it's a beautiful night, we should rest." His voice was low and a little tempting, "A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold, don't waste this beautiful time."

Si Lili also knew that too much is as bad as too little, so she stopped asking.

Her eyes were moving, and she looked like she was ready for you to pick her.

Red candles flicker.

The light and shadow cast mottled shadows on her, making her look even more charming and captivating.

Li Chengyun looked at the touching face in front of him and his heart was beating fast.

How could he bear it any longer? As a playboy, he naturally had to do what a playboy should do.

He gently picked up Si Lili and walked to the bed beside him.

Tonight, he turned into a hungry wolf.

In this beautiful night, enjoy the passionate and romantic time with Si Lili.
