Chapter 107 Mysterious Force

"What did you say?"

When Fan Jian heard what Chen Pingping said, he was so shocked that he dropped the book in his hand to the ground.

Chen Pingping nodded and said, "You heard it right. The prince was killed in the palace last night!"

"Is this true?" Fan Jian asked in surprise.

Chen Pingping said: "Of course, how could I joke about such a thing."

Fan Jian also felt that what Chen Pingping said did make some sense. How could he make such a joke?
Moreover, this news was like a bolt from the blue for him.

He would never have imagined that the prince was killed in the palace!

Who is so powerful that he can run into the palace and kill people?

Fan Jian asked again: "Who killed him?"

"Has the murderer been caught?"

Chen Pingping pushed the wheelchair forward a few times and stopped it in front of the table next to him.

Then, he slowly picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and drank it slowly.

At this moment, Fan Jian, after seeing the scene in front of him, immediately said: "Why don't you speak quickly, what's going on?"

"I'm so anxious whether the murderer has been caught or not!"

Chen Pingping sighed helplessly and said, "No."

"More than ten hours have passed since the crime was committed, and we still haven't figured out who the murderer is or why he went to kill the prince."

"What?" Fan Jianshi's face flashed with surprise again, and he asked, "Didn't find the murderer?"

"Even with the entire Overwatch Council mobilized, you can't even find the murderer?"

Chen Pingping nodded and said, "This is why I came to see you."

Fan Jian pondered for a moment and felt that something was wrong. He hurried to the door and closed it.

Then, he said to Chen Pingping: "What do you mean?"

"What do you want to say?"

"Could it be that you already have someone you suspect?"

Chen Pingping shook his head and said, "I don't suspect anyone, but I always feel like something is not right."

"It's like there is a mysterious force in Kyoto right now, planning something in secret."

"Their purpose is likely to be detrimental to the court."

Fan Jian said: "Since you know that there is this mysterious force in Kyoto, why don't you investigate it?"

"Perhaps, they are the murderers of the prince."

Chen Pingping shook his head and said, "That being said, I asked the people from the Supervisory Council to investigate, but they didn't find any clues."

"I can't ask the Overwatch Council to lock up everyone in Kyoto and interrogate them thoroughly."

Fan Jian nodded and said, "That's true. This is indeed inappropriate."

"But what does your majesty think about this matter?"

Chen Pingping said, "I haven't entered the palace to meet His Majesty yet, so how can I know?"

Fan Jian pondered for a moment, sighed slowly, and said, "It seems that we can only wait for His Majesty to summon us personally."

Chen Pingping added: "Actually, I came here for another reason."

Fan Jian knew what he wanted to say, so he waved his hand and said, "Fan Xian and his brother and sister went out shopping."

"You'll be able to see him when he comes back."

"Is that so?" Chen Pingping poured another cup of tea and nodded, "Then I'll stay here and wait for him."

……

After a long time.

After separating from Ye Ling'er, Li Chengze walked towards the palace alone.

Originally, he wanted to send Ye Ling'er home directly, but Ye Ling'er said that she missed Lin Wan'er, so she went to the Xiangfu first.

After seeing this, Li Chengze naturally would not accompany her anymore and had to leave first.

However, just as Li Chengze walked to the gate of the palace, a middle-aged man in a green Taoist robe walked out.

"Lord!"

Jia Xu was gently waving a white feather fan in his hand, and when he saw Li Chengze coming back, he immediately went to greet him.

Li Chengze asked: "Wenhe, are you going out?"

Jia Xu nodded and said, "My Lord, I was going to look for you."

"Looking for me?" Li Chengze asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Nothing happened." Jia Xu waved the white feather fan in his hand and said, "Didn't you send someone to find out the whereabouts of the blindfolded boy?"

"We have received news that they are currently 20 miles outside the city."

"Besides, Li Chungang has already gone there, and I guess they're going to fight now."

"Really?" Li Chengze's face lit up with joy. He didn't expect that things would happen so quickly.

Originally, he thought that before dealing with Fan Xian, he had to kill the robot Wu Zhu first.

As long as Wu Zhu died, Fan Xian would lose his right-hand man and would never be able to stir up any trouble again.

By then, if you want to deal with Fan Xian again, it will be too easy.

As for Chen Pingping and Fan Jian beside him, and even Fei Jie who is good at using poison, they are not worth mentioning.

I just don’t know what the outcome will be after the two masters fight.

Thinking of this, Li Chengze's heart began to fill with excitement.

"Let's go, let's go now. If we're too late, there won't be any fun to watch."

After Li Chengze finished speaking, his expression changed again and he said, "No, the city gate is closed now, we can't get out."

At this time, Jia Xu laughed and said, "My lord, don't worry, I have already arranged this matter."

"Even if the city gates are closed, we can still get out."

"Really?" Li Chengze looked at Jia Xu with surprise.

Jia Xu nodded.

Li Chengze laughed and said, "What are you waiting for? Let's go over there quickly."

Afterwards, Jia Xu took Li Chengze and left the palace, heading towards Ji Street not far away.

……

Lin Mansion, backyard.

In the boudoir, Lin Wan'er was painting on the drawing paper on the table, holding a pen in her right hand and supporting her sleeve with her left hand.

With a few strokes of the brush, a handsome male figure appeared on the paper.

Just as she was concentrating on painting the portrait, a graceful figure in red walked in from outside the door.

When Ye Ling'er arrived at the door of the boudoir and was about to speak, she saw Lin Wan'er in the room, concentrating on painting, so she did not say anything.

She walked forward quickly with light steps, came behind Lin Wan'er, and looked at the drawing paper.

As a result, I saw a portrait of a handsome man.

Lin Wan'er's painting skills are very good. With just a few strokes, she can outline the contours of the characters, and also give them a lot of charm.

Moreover, the person in the portrait is obviously her fiancé, Li Chengze.

After watching for a while, Ye Ling'er couldn't help but sigh: "Your painting skills are really good."

Lin Wan'er drew a few strokes on her eyebrows and immediately nodded: "Of course, what I like most is... huh???"

Before Lin Wan'er could finish her words, she realized something was wrong.

She immediately turned around and looked, and was so frightened that she almost screamed.
