Chapter 56: Teasing Fan Ruoruo, Emperor Qing takes action
Li Chengyun stretched out his body, like a tiger pouncing on its prey, and displayed his extraordinary skills in riding and fighting to Fan Ruoruo, looking heroic and full of energy.

And outside the palace.

Fan Sizhe and Fan Xian walked side by side on the path among the flowers, their steps leisurely.

Fan Sizhe suddenly became aware of something, and turned to look at Fan Xian, saying with a smile:
"Fan Xian, you see my sister's attitude has changed a lot recently. Could it be that she is no longer opposed to marrying the boss?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian raised his lips slightly and nodded gently:

"Judging from her behavior, she does have this intention! As long as Ruoruo gets what she wants and is happy, no matter what she chooses, I will fully support her. You and I don't have to worry about it."

From Fan Ruoruo's attitude, the two of them vaguely guessed that she no longer had the grudge against Li Chengyun as she did in the past.

However, when did the feelings arise? It was like seeing flowers in the fog, and the two of them were always confused.

Inside Prince Yan’s mansion, the spring scenery is charming and the shadows of flowers are dancing.

And the other side.

Within the palace.

Emperor Qing personally summoned Chen Pingping in the main hall.

He walked forward slowly, pushing Chen Pingping's wheelchair, and asked in a low and powerful voice:

"I heard that you had a deep conversation with Lao Liu yesterday. How is the investigation going?"

Chen Pingping shook his head slightly, his face solemn:

"Your Majesty, I have tried my best, but still have gained nothing."

"Prince Yan's astonishing martial arts, and the great master surnamed Huang beside him, seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, leaving no trace. It is really impossible to trace them."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing's face darkened and he stopped walking:
"Are all the people in the Overwatch Council good-for-nothings? We have been investigating this matter for two days, but there is not a single useful piece of information to report!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Pingping immediately showed a look of trepidation and bowed, saying:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The responsibility for this matter lies mainly with me."

"I will work harder and do my best to find out the truth as soon as possible and present the results to Your Majesty."

After hearing this, Emperor Qing did not comment. After a moment of silence, he continued to push Chen Pingping's wheelchair slowly in the hall.

He became more and more wary of Li Chengyun, and the Supervisory Office was unable to find any clues, which made him feel deeply uneasy and frowned.

The sudden appearance of Li Chengyun caused him to lose the crown prince whom he had carefully cultivated for many years, and also disrupted his careful planning over the years.

Although Li Chengyun's talent was priceless, it was beyond his control. This made him feel very upset and like a thorn in his throat.

How could he tolerate Li Chengyun's reckless growth? Only by incorporating him into his own plan could he fulfill his wish.

After a moment's silence, he finally opened his mouth and ordered:
"So, Lao Liu will be heading to the border soon. The border is extremely dangerous. To ensure his safety, you need to send a team of black cavalry to follow him closely as his personal guards."

"You need to carefully select the Black Knights. Make sure you pick the best of them. Don't let Lao Liu fall into any danger."

If these words are heard alone, they sound like a father's deep concern for his son.

The Black Cavalry are the elite among the elite. Even so, they are carefully selected from them, which shows how deeply Emperor Qing loves and values ​​Li Chengyun.

However, all this is just appearance.

He sent the Black Cavalry with a far-reaching implication. He wanted to secretly monitor Li Chengyun's every move, and to keep him firmly under his control to a certain extent.

Emperor Qing was convinced that Chen Pingping would understand this intention.

After all, the tacit understanding between this king and his subject over the years is extraordinary.

If Chen Pingping was still unable to understand the profound meaning of this, he would not be so trusted by Emperor Qing and would not have held the power of the Supervisory Council for such a long time.

After Emperor Qing finished his instructions, Chen Pingping bowed without hesitation and said firmly:

"The minister obeys the order!"

He naturally understood in his heart that this was an act instructed by Emperor Qing to secretly monitor Li Chengyun.

However, there was no need to refuse this matter. Ever since Li Chengyun's last visit, Chen Pingping had been weighing in his mind whether he should form an alliance with Li Chengyun.

After all, Li Chengyun's intentions were obvious, and he wanted revenge.

What's more, Li Chengyun has a great master under his command. How can we underestimate such help?

Chen Pingping urgently needs Li Chengyun's help, and the two have the same position.

Emperor Qing wants to use the power of the Black Cavalry to monitor Li Chengyun, which is ridiculous.

The Black Cavalry apparently obeyed Emperor Qing's orders, but in reality they were completely controlled by Chen Pingping.

Emperor Qing once said that the number of Black Cavalry should not exceed one thousand, but Chen Pingping secretly trained them and their number has reached eight thousand.

All of this is preparation for his revenge.

Emperor Qing ordered the Black Cavalry to monitor Li Chengyun, but unexpectedly this made it easier for Chen Pingping to cover for Li Chengyun.

It's late afternoon.

In the palace of Prince Yan.

Fan Ruoruo was already dressed neatly. She glared at Li Chengyun shyly and said angrily:

"You tore my clothes."

Li Chengyun raised his lips slightly, chuckled and said:
"Where is it torn? I see your clothes are intact."

"The coat is fine. What I meant to say is..." Fan Ruoruo hesitated to speak, her cheeks flushed, and she found it difficult to speak.

Seeing this, Li Chengyun moved closer to her, kissed her lips lightly, and said softly:
"Since my lady says I did it, I will make it up to you with my actions."

"Is this compensation? This is clearly a shameless act." Although Fan Ruoruo refused, the smile in her eyes was hard to conceal.

Just when the two were in love.

The maid knocked gently on the door. She was very well behaved and did not dare to enter or peek. She just bowed her head and reported:
"Your Majesty, Master Fan and others are visiting again."

Hearing this, Fan Ruoruo couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Oh, what should I do? I have forgotten the time and have not returned home for a long time. My brother and father must be worried, so they came to look for me."

After saying that, she moved her cute little nose lightly, looked at Li Chengyun with a pair of bright eyes with a bit of resentment, and said in a tender voice:
"It's all your fault. You've delayed me for so much time."

Li Chengyun also looked innocent and said with a smile:

"Who made you so lovely? Besides, how can I control this matter? I am strong and healthy, what can I do?"

When Fan Ruoruo heard this, her cheeks flushed again and she spat softly:
"How shameless."

Li Chengyun smiled secretly in his heart, realizing that Fan Ruoruo was indeed very shy, especially when they were simulating horse riding on the bed just now, which made her blush even more.

Fan Ruoruo covered her face with her hands, but her cheeks and palms were all flushed pink, like newly blooming peach blossoms.

Seeing her so shy and lovely, Li Chengyun couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart.

However, Fan Xian and others had already arrived, and it was getting late, so Fan Ruoruo could not stay here overnight.

Li Chengyun had no choice but to suppress the urge in his heart and wait for the next opportunity.

Li Chengyun waved his hand gently, signaling the maid to lead Fan Xian and Fan Sizhe here.

Seeing this, Fan Ruoruo quickly moved her body and kept a distance from Li Chengyun. Then she sat upright, looking dignified, as if what had just happened had never happened.

If it weren't for the lingering blush on her cheeks, one would really think that nothing had happened between the two of them.

Li Chengyun looked at her with a smile, and he really liked Fan Ruoruo's funny and shy look.
