Chapter 57 Fan Xian makes an unexpected request and goes to Zuixianju to meet Si Lili before leaving Beijing
Fan Xian and Fan Sizhe walked into the house and immediately saw Fan Ruoruo sitting upright.

Fan Xian frowned slightly, and words of reproach escaped his lips:
"Ruoruo, it's late at night, why haven't you returned home yet? Father and Aunt Liu are both worried and eager for you to come back."

Upon hearing this, Fan Ruoruo was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this, Li Chengyun spoke politely to help him out:
"Ruoruo and I were just discussing the details of the wedding, and decided to choose a date to get married when we return to Beijing next time."

When Fan Xian and Fan Sizhe heard this, they suddenly felt enlightened and realized the truth.

It turned out that the two of them sat here and talked for a long time because marriage was a complicated matter that required careful planning.

It takes a long time, which is understandable.

Fan Xian was a man of keen insight and noticed that Li Chengyun addressed Ruoruo more and more affectionately. He knew that during this period of time, the relationship between Chengyun and his sister must have advanced to a higher level, or at least there were signs that they were in love with each other.

Thinking of this, Fan Xian felt very comforted.

The person his sister entrusted to him was the gentleman he loved, which was the best thing that could happen and made him overjoyed.

When Fan Ruo heard Li Chengyun's words, although it was not the first time he heard them, he still felt a sweet feeling in his heart, like honey melting in a clear spring.

The fact that Li Chengyun could speak so frankly in front of Fan Xian and Fan Sizhe proves that what he said is true.

Thinking that she would be marrying Li Chengyun soon, she couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation, mixed with a little shyness.

I look forward to the spring breeze, but I am afraid of being exposed in front of others.

They haven't even gotten married yet, but they're already having so much fun together. If they really get married, Fan Ruoruo thinks to herself, Li Chengyun is so smart that he will definitely come up with more tricks to torment her.

Seeing Fan Ruoruo's expression, Fan Xian thought it was just a mixture of joy and embarrassment, without seeing her deeper feelings, so he turned to Li Chengyun and said:
"Your Majesty, I came to the palace this time, in addition to taking Ruoruo home, I actually have a favor to ask of you."

Li Chengyun nodded gently, his eyes gentle:

"We are a family, so if there is anything difficult, you can talk about it."

"I heard that the prince will lead his army out of Beijing and head to the border soon. I have a thought in my mind. I wonder if I can go with him? I am willing to serve the prince and fight together with him in the national crisis."

Fan Xian slowly expressed what he wanted, his words were earnest and his eyes were full of sincerity.

Upon hearing this, Versace and Fan Ruoruo were both stunned, their eyes full of confusion.

Fan Ruoruo raised her head in a hurry, with a hint of anxiety in her voice:
"Brother, why is this?"

"Yes, Fan Xian, my boss is a ninth-rank master and has the protection of a grandmaster, so he dares to set foot in the border! Why do you want to go to such a dangerous place?" Fan Sizhe couldn't hide his doubts and asked.

Compared to the surprise of the other two, Li Chengyun stared at Fan Xian for a long time.

He sighed inwardly, thinking that he had underestimated Fan Xian after all.

It would undoubtedly be a wise move to follow him to the border now.

However, most people find it difficult to discern the mystery behind this.

Facing his brother and sister-in-law's questions, Fan Xian smiled calmly and explained:
"In Kyoto, there are undercurrents. Since the prince left the capital, the political situation may become turbulent! The emperor will not miss this opportunity. Many matters need to be re-planned."

"For me, staying in Kyoto at this moment is not a wise move. I have another hidden reason. That is, I have no intention of getting married yet. I can take this opportunity to delay it for a while."

In fact, he had another reason in his heart that he never expressed.

In recent days, he has been observing Li Chengyun's actions and gradually felt that this man is extraordinary and is truly a big tree that he can rely on.

You will definitely benefit a lot from following it.

His thoughts coincided with Li Chengyun's speculation.

Li Chengyun did not refuse, but nodded slightly and said:
"Sure, but when your parents are around, you shouldn't travel far away. If you do travel, you must have a plan. You need to inform the elders first. As long as Si Nanbo agrees, I can take you to the border."

Fan Xian would certainly not hide anything from Fan Jian, and he might even need Fan Jian's help.

After saying this, Fan Xian took Fan Sizhe and Fan Ruoruo away.

Fan Ruoruo was at the end of the group, and she looked back at Li Chengyun from time to time. Seeing him watching them go away, his face was warm, his heart was happy, and his steps became lighter.

Watching Fan Ruoruo and the others walking away, Li Chengyun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The look that Fan Ruoruo gave him before she left, the emotion in her eyes quietly ignited the fire in his heart.

He looked around slowly, and suddenly felt that this huge palace seemed to lack a certain indescribable charm.

Although there were many beautiful maids in the palace, he knew very well that they were not easy to move.

After some thought, Li Chengyun had made up his mind and he decided to go to Zuixianju.

"Old Huang, accompany me to Zuixianju." Li Chengyun said softly.

Jian Jiuhuang's residence is next to the main hall so that he can protect his master at any time.

Hearing what Li Chengyun said, Old Huang acted quickly. In a moment, he had prepared the carriage and was waiting outside the palace.

When Li Chengyun stepped out of the palace, Old Huang had already respectfully lifted the curtain of the carriage.

He nodded slightly, then stepped into the carriage, which galloped straight to Zuixianju.

Step into Zuixianju.

Li Chengyun did not let Lao Huang leave on his own as usual, because he had no intention of staying here tonight.

"Old Huang, I want to go to the third floor. Please wait by the stairs for a while. I will need your help later." Li Chengyun said softly.

Old Huang didn't ask any more questions, but just nodded silently to show that he understood.

Afterwards, Li Chengyun went straight to the third floor.

The madam had already called Si Lili for him.

Today, Si Lili changed into a long green dress, which made her look more pretty and charming, which was very different from her previous charming image.

Li Chengyun's eyes lit up, he sat down and patted his legs, smiling:

"Lili, come and sit down."

Si Lili walked to Li Chengyun as she was told and sat lightly on his lap, but she remained silent, which was unusual for her.

Li Chengyun then realized that Si Lili did not smile as usual today, but had a sad look on her face.

"What's wrong, Lili? Have you encountered any troubles? Tell me, there is no problem in Kyoto that I can't solve." Li Chengyun asked with concern.

Si Lili remained unmoved, just stared at him resentfully and said softly:
"The prince has moved into the palace, and I thought I would never see him again in this life."

Li Chengyun was slightly surprised when he heard this, but facing the beauty in front of him, he couldn't help but be moved and said softly:
"Li Li, what are you talking about? How come you can't see me? I once promised you that you would be my woman for the rest of my life! Could it be that you want to leave me?"

His words were full of tenderness, but the sadness on Si Lili's face had not disappeared.

She whispered, "Of course I believe what the prince says! But the prince is about to go to the border to fight, and I will definitely be separated from him for a long time!"

"When the prince returns triumphantly, he will marry Miss Fan. By then, will the prince still have me in his heart? With my humble status, I'm afraid the prince will never set foot here again."

There was one more thing she hadn't said yet, which was that with her identity as a spy from Northern Qi, it was impossible for her to become a princess.

After hearing this, Li Chengyun finally understood what she was thinking.

It turned out that she was worried about being abandoned because she felt inferior to her status.

Li Chengyun couldn't help but smile and said softly:

"Lili, why do you think I came here today?"
