Chapter 148 The Second Prince's Choice, Li Yunrui's Madness (Thanks to the helmsman of Wu Na Shusheng)

Kyoto.

The second prince's residence.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Eight hundred miles, quick!"

Fan Wujiu hadn't even remembered to read the letter yet, so he rushed back to report it as soon as possible.

"read."

Li Chengze tilted his head and looked towards the lake. He appeared calm on the surface, but he was extremely nervous deep down.

Because in these two days, Kyoto has become a little unfamiliar.

The person was the same person, and the matter was the same, but Li Chengze felt a great terror from it.

The huge pressure of the impending storm made it hard for him to breathe.

Especially Li Yunrui, she not only came to Kyoto, but also entered the palace openly!
Isn't this ignoring His Majesty's orders? Or is it that His Majesty is dead?
In this case, wouldn't it mean that the crown prince would ascend the throne directly, and he would also be liquidated? !
Because of this thought, Li Chengze couldn't sleep well in the past two days. He even had the urge to rebel.

But in the end, he endured it.

Although Li Chengze is crazy, he is not a fool!
If he does anything out of line before the news is confirmed, no one can save him.

So he was patient and waited for the latest news.

At this time, Fan Wujiu opened the envelope and began to read.

"Your Majesty's Illness"

Just after reading the beginning, Fan Wujiuren froze and didn't dare to continue.

"What's wrong?!" Li Chengze asked.

"Died of illness!"

"What?!" Li Chengze jumped up from his seat, his face full of shock.

"Then what?!" he asked hurriedly.

If there are no exceptions, the crown prince will definitely ascend the throne, and he will be liquidated.

So at this time, Li Chengze couldn't wait to hear more information.

Fan Wujiu also knew the situation, and quickly read on, muttering, "His Majesty left a will, saying that he wants to depose the crown prince and make the third prince the crown prince! He also ordered the crown prince to take Fan Xian as his master!"

When he heard that the crown prince was deposed, Li Chengze was so excited that he almost flew up.

But the next second, the news that the third prince was appointed as the crown prince made him stunned, and then he collapsed directly into the chair.

He stared blankly at the lake in front of him, his mind drifting away.

Li Chengze wanted to laugh, but didn't know what to laugh at. He wanted to cry, but couldn't.

He had been competing with the crown prince for so many years, but to his surprise, neither of them won. Instead, that kid Li Chengping became the emperor without doing anything.

Jealousy?
Maybe.

Hate?

do not know.

On the contrary, I felt a little relieved in my heart.

Li Chengze actually never thought about fighting for the throne, but someone forced him to fight and grab it!
The man had a whip in his hand and whipped him from behind. If he slacked off, he would whip him hard!
Now the whip suddenly disappeared and would never appear again, which made Li Chengze fall into a brief period of confusion.

After a while, he came to his senses and asked.

"Just now you said, who is the prince's teacher?"

"Fan Xian!"

"Sure enough, as expected!" Li Chengze was not surprised.

But soon, he said: "Find out the reactions of various officials in Kyoto."

"Yes!" Fan Wujiu bowed and was about to do it immediately.

"Wait!"

Li Chengze stretched out his hand and shouted, "Go to Fan Mansion!"

Although he felt relieved for a while, he soon returned to his original state.

After all, it has been so many years, it is impossible to change one's temper all of a sudden.

In the current situation, the most important thing is to confirm the authenticity of the news and then take a position in advance.

He can't reach the Third Prince at the moment, so he should break through from Fan Mansion first.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

At this time, there were only the prince and Li Yunrui in the room, and everyone else had been cleared out.

Looking at the news coming from Dadong Mountain, the prince's eyes were full of shock.

"It's fake! It's absolutely fake! How could my father depose me as the crown prince? This must be a conspiracy! Fan Xian tampered with the will!"

“With a grand master testifying, how could it be false?” Li Yunrui’s face was no longer as calm as before.

This news was a huge blow to both the prince and her.

If Fan Xian wants to marry Lin Wan'er, she must hand over the financial power of the inner treasury.

As for the Crown Prince, he was directly deposed from the throne. If the Third Prince ascends the throne in the future and Fan Xian continues to serve as the Imperial Preceptor, they will never be able to turn things around!
"It's over, it's all over now!" The prince covered his head with his hands, with a hint of loneliness in his eyes.

He was a great actor, but today, his true feelings came out.

After all, this fundamentally cuts off his future. If he is lucky, he can still be a leisurely prince. If he is unlucky, Fan Xian will settle accounts with him.

"It's not that there is no chance!" A hint of madness flashed in Li Yunrui's eyes.

"what chance?!"

Li Chengqian seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and threw himself directly at Li Yunrui's feet.

He said, "Aunt, save me. You are the only one I can rely on now!"

Emperor Qing allowed the Crown Prince and the Second Prince to fight, and even allowed them to raise troops in the suburbs of Kyoto.

Of course, these people have always been under the supervision of the Inspection Institute, and the situation of all personnel is recorded in the Inspection Institute.

At this critical moment, the Inspection Bureau will definitely receive the news before them, and those troops will be kept under surveillance, so they won't even have a chance to rebel.

"What other chance is there? Kill the Third Prince!"

Li Yunrui said with a smile: "As long as Li Chengping is killed, there will be no one to inherit the throne, and naturally you will ascend the throne."

"Ah?" Li Chengqian was stunned.

To be honest, because Emperor Qing has always controlled his bottom line very well, although several princes have thought about murdering each other, they quickly gave up the idea.

At the first moment, Li Chengqian didn't think of this.

"I have sent people to the Third Prince, and they should have captured him by now."

Li Yunrui's power is greater than imagined. She can mobilize people in the palace to arrest people, and her control is even stronger than that of the prince.

Li Chengqian paused after hearing this, and then said: "It's useless. If the Grand Master doesn't allow it, I will be driven down even if I ascend the throne!"

His words were tantamount to admitting that he had killed his brother.

After all, this is the throne, he has to fight for it!

"What if the second prince and the eldest prince are killed? Then you will be the only heir. Will Ye Liuyun kill you too?"

"Crazy! Crazy!" Li Chengqian was shocked by Li Yunrui's crazy idea.

After killing three princes in a row, isn't it too hot for him to sit on the throne?
Besides, the second prince and the eldest prince are not so easy to kill!

One of them is in the border army, he is a master himself, and he has many strong guards.

The other one is in Kyoto and he also has guards following him, so it’s difficult to kill either of them.

“We can kill him, but we have to kill the third prince first.” Li Yunrui said in a deep voice.

But at this moment, a general in armor walked into the imperial study.

He is Yan Xiaoyi’s younger brother, Yan Shen!

"Your Highness, Crown Prince, the third prince is missing." Yan Shen bowed.

"Gone?"

Li Yunrui quickly realized who had taken the third prince away.

"Chen Pingping!" She clenched her fists, looking angry.

Now in Kyoto, the only one who has faster news and stronger strength than her is Chen Pingping.

"Go down!" She waved her hand, and Yan Shen left quickly.

"Aunt, what should we do now?!" Li Chengqian asked hurriedly. "Then there is only one way."

Li Yunrui sighed and said, "This will is too fake. Now spread the word that Fan Xian colluded with the Third Prince to poison His Majesty and tampered with the will!"

"Then, you will ascend the throne immediately!"

"This is against the rules!" Li Chengqian's face was gloomy.

The late emperor passed away and the funeral hasn't even begun yet, and yet he ascends the throne. Who will recognize him?

"Also, if the news that the Grand Master supports Fan Xian gets out, it will be useless."

"so what?"

Li Yunrui looked at the prince with a hint of disdain in his eyes, "Do nothing, be driven off the throne, and wait for others to judge you? Are you willing to do that?"

Yes!

Is he willing?

Li Chengqian's thoughts were still on calculating gains and losses, and he hadn't come around yet.

Now that he thought about it carefully, he had already reached the bottom, and no matter which way he went, he was heading upwards.

What he needs to do now is not to endure, but to go all in!

Even though the hope is slim, this is his only chance.

If he succeeds, he will ascend the throne and become the emperor directly. If he fails, at worst he will die!
"Of course I'm not willing to accept this!" the prince said coldly.

"Let's fight!" Li Yunrui said, "I still have several thousand private soldiers outside the city. When the time comes, they will directly attack the sacrificial team. Your troops will guard the city gates to prevent them from coming in until you ascend the throne!"

In fact, what they did was already a rebellion and a gamble.

But there is no other way, this is their only choice.

"Let's do it!" Li Chengqian said calmly.

Inspection Institute.

Shadow walked towards Chen Pingping's office.

"Has everything been arranged for the third prince?" Chen Pingping asked.

"It has been arranged to a safe place." Shadow nodded.

"There's movement in the palace."

He continued, "Many people from the palace came to the outer city and spread the news everywhere, saying that Fan Xian colluded with the third prince to poison His Majesty and tampered with the will!"

"Oh?"

Chen Pingping was stunned and said with a smile: "I was thinking of giving them a push, but I didn't expect that Li Yunrui was even crazier than I thought."

"That?"

"Don't worry about it! Let them spread it, the farther the better."

Chen Pingping sneered, "It's just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot or a mayfly trying to shake a tree. You don't know your own abilities!"

"All we have to do is to protect the safety and stability of Kyoto, and don't worry about anything else!"

Now, the more the Crown Prince and Li Yunrui act like mischief, the more they can eliminate the irrationality of Emperor Qing's will.

After all, the will said that the prince intended to rebel.

If before it was just a case of finding excuses to accuse someone, now the evidence is solid!

"Li Yunrui's private soldiers are stationed on the outskirts of the east city. The leading general is Yan Xiaoyi's younger brother Yan Shen. Should we intervene?" Shadow asked again.

"Don't worry! Someone will kill him." Chen Pingping said with a smile.

Yan Shen already knew that his brother Yan Xiaoyi died at the hands of Qin Feng, and coupled with Li Yunrui's madness, they would definitely take action.

For a grandmaster, killing these thousands of people might consume a lot of his inner energy, but he can definitely kill them all!

"The Second Prince went to the Fan Mansion."

"Let him go. Li Chengze is not a big threat, and Fan Jian is not a small character either."

"By the way, that Northern Qi Saint Haitang Duoduo has been eating and using things from the Inspection Institute recently. People who don't know her would think she is from the Inspection Institute. Should we do something about it?"

Speaking of this, Shadow felt a little indignant.

This Holy Lady of Northern Qi had actually come to the Inspection Institute openly before, and they had to serve her with delicious food and drinks.

Then, Haitang Duoduo seemed to have discovered a new world. She came whenever she had nothing to do. She had become a habitual offender.

"What does this matter? Don't you have anything to do?"

Chen Pingping said unhappily, "We can still afford to support one more person in our Inspection Bureau."

"Besides, don't you just pick a fight with her when you have nothing to do? Wouldn't it be good to have another sparring partner?"

shadow:"."

He muttered quietly, "I haven't fought before."

When Qin Feng and Haitang Duoduo were in the carriage, he casually gave her some pointers.

Haitang Duoduo is indeed the youngest ninth-rank master with a strong talent in martial arts. After receiving a few instructions, her strength increased greatly.

It would have been fine if Shadow couldn't beat Qin Feng at first, but now he can't even beat Haitang Duoduo, how shameful!
"Then you still have the nerve to say that, go get things done!"

Chen Pingping was too lazy to talk any more with Yingzi and just waved his hand.

Shadow turned around and quickly left the office.

Before leaving, he thought to himself, "Why is the dean so happy these days? It seems like he has a smile on his face all the time. His Majesty is dead, how can he smile like that?"

August 18th, Danzhou.

The sacrificial team had just left Danzhou and was divided into two groups.

One group was the baggage train, and there were also some eunuchs, palace maids and so on.

They walked slower, so they were separated and placed at the back.

The other group was led by Fan Xian and Ye Liuyun. They were lightly equipped and headed quickly towards Kyoto.

After all, we have to make do with the emergency. The most important thing now is to return to Kyoto as soon as possible. Nothing else matters.

As they walked, they heard a lot of letters from Kyoto.

Gradually, rumors spread among the team that Fan Xian had colluded with the third prince to poison His Majesty and tamper with the imperial edict.

Many people knew about it, and Fan Xian naturally knew it too.

But he didn't pay any attention to it, because it wouldn't affect anything. After all, Ye Liuyun and his master were always in the team.

Of course, his silence would make these people think that the rumors might be true.

It was 3 p.m., when they were letting the horses rest and drink water.

A group of ministers gathered together and walked towards Fan Xian.

The leader was the Minister of Personnel Yan Xingshu, who was considered to be under the command of the prince.

Now that the news has spread from Kyoto, he naturally wants to find Fan Xian to confirm it.

They didn't even go to see Prime Minister Lin, because Fan Xian was Prime Minister Lin's son-in-law.

"What do you all want from me?" Fan Xian looked at the people in front of him with a puzzled look.

"Lord Fan!"

Yan Xingshu bowed and asked, "There are rumors in Kyoto that Lord Fan colluded with the Third Prince to poison His Majesty and tamper with the will. I wonder what Lord Fan's explanation is?"

"It's just a rumor. I have never met the Third Prince. Tampering with the will is ridiculous. The will was witnessed by Mr. Ye himself. Do you mean that the Grand Master also conspired with the Third Prince?!"

Fan Xian asked in a cold voice, his tone full of majesty!

"We dare not!" Yan Xingshu's momentum suddenly weakened.

In fact, these people just wanted Fan Xian to explain, and they also knew that this was impossible.

But this rumor was too bad, and not explaining it would cause panic among the people. Now that Fan Xian had spoken, they felt much more at ease.

"Okay, the team will be moving on soon, so you should all go back quickly!"

Fan Xian waved his hand and asked his ministers to go back.

This matter had a feeling of starting off strong but ending weakly, but the aura that Fan Xian had just displayed and the words he had said were also the main reasons.

Otherwise, you will end up arguing for a long time and get yourself into trouble.

However, just as the ministers were preparing to go back, they suddenly heard the sound of galloping war horses in the distance, and they were approaching rapidly!
　1.2 are here for you. There will be a separate chapter in a moment to research which one to choose for the next world.
