Chapter 83 [Establishing a Crown Princess]

After a stick of incense.

When the effect of the medicine wore off, the Second Prince and Xie Bian were sweating profusely, and their clothes were all wet.

This elixir has another powerful feature, which is that it implants a strong desire to survive in the human soul and heart.

Therefore, when the effect of the drug wears off, they will not choose to commit suicide, but to survive.

The second prince was breathing heavily, without any princely manners at all, and just sat on the ground.

Wandering on the edge of life and death, he returned to the human world.

This feeling is a great happiness.

The power of the elixir permeates the soul and has a subtle influence.

There was silence in the attic, and no one spoke.

You can even hear breathing.

"I lost." After a long time, the second prince sighed heavily.

Xia Zhu has just revealed the power of this elixir.

He and Xie Bian naturally heard it clearly.

Shocked!

There is such a pill in the world.

At this moment, the second prince finally understood how terrifying the prince's strength was.

Moreover, the hidden forces are so terrifying.

Today, the power of the Eastern Palace displayed before everyone is just an appearance.

Its true strength has always been hidden beneath the surface.

He finally understood that after years of fighting, the prince was not unable to defeat him.

But keep giving in.

The purpose is to maintain the balance in the court.

Because Emperor Qing needs checks and balances.

"What do you want to do?" The second prince stood up with difficulty and leaned against the wall.

At this moment, he felt powerless all over.

The same is true for Xie Bian.

"From now on, you will cooperate with me in acting, check and balance the court, and let His Majesty have no worries."

Li Chengqian handed over a bunch of grapes.

The second prince took it and bit one, "What's in it for me?"

“When I ascend the throne and unify the world, I will set you free.

In fact, I know that you have no ambition to be the emperor. You are just the sharpening stone prepared by my father for me, and also for checks and balances. "

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, the Second Prince was suddenly stunned.

Even, I couldn't help crying.

At that moment, he seemed to have found a confidant.

In this palace, there is someone who understands him.

However, it is hard to say how much of these tears are real and how much are fake.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The second prince suddenly bowed deeply to Li Chengqian.

Xie Bian stood behind him, bowed and said nothing.

Li Chengqian said indifferently: "Don't worry, just think of a way and try it a few more times to see if you can detoxify."

After saying that, Li Chengqian patted him on the shoulder.

Smile brightly.

At this moment, the shadow area in the second prince's heart was infinitely magnified.

It was not until now that he realized that he seemed to have never really understood this opponent from the beginning to the end.

From the very beginning, I was just a pawn.

"Then what do I need to do?" asked the second prince.

"It's simple, just go against me." Li Chengqian replied.

Hearing this, the Second Prince was stunned. After a moment, he nodded and said, "I understand."

"However, we can't go too far and take human lives lightly," Li Chengqian added.

"Yes, sir!" The second prince nodded.

"That private army..." The second prince hesitated, but still asked.

“In fact, as early as three years ago, this private army was already under my control.

At that time, I was thinking, could I use this army to assassinate my father and trick you?

Later I thought about it and decided to forget it. I should keep it. It might be useful to me."

Upon hearing this, the second prince's face darkened.

How insidious!
Compared to the prince, I am just like a child playing house.

"So, you know all my plans over the years?"

Although the second prince lost, he was still somewhat unwilling to accept it.

Seeing that Li Chengqian just smiled and said nothing, he became even more unwilling.

I feel aggrieved.

In the end, the clown was himself.

Coming out of the attic, the Second Prince and Xie Bian got on the carriage and went back to the palace.

"Is that the end?" Fan Sizhe muttered at the end of the second floor. "I don't know what they talked about for so long."

"Talk less and watch less, just pretend you know nothing." Ruoruo warned.

"Oh."

"Sorry for the long wait." Li Chengqian returned from the attic.

"Your Highness." Several people saluted.

"You will all keep today's events a secret, right?" Li Chengqian asked with a smile.

"Don't worry, Prince. We know nothing." Fan Xian spoke first.

"The engagement is cancelled today. I will go and talk to His Majesty." Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Fan Xian bowed to express his gratitude.

Today's dinner ends here.

The three of them left.

Ruoruo walked at the end and nodded slightly to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian nodded in response and smiled.

In the carriage.

"Brother, why do I feel that this Crown Prince looks gentle but a little scary?" Fan Sizhe said.

Fan Xian nodded, "I think so too. This guy is probably a really ruthless person. We should not provoke him in the future."

Ruoruo said nothing.

"Ruoruo, what do you think?" Fan Xian asked.

Fan Ruoruo paused for a moment and said, "Brother, I am not familiar with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I know very little about him.

However, after meeting him today, I also feel that he is not a simple person. "

The second prince's residence.

As soon as he returned home, the second prince called the imperial physician to check his physical condition.

The final conclusion was that there was nothing abnormal with the body.

As for poisoning, that is even more impossible.

Xie Bian, a ninth-rank official, began to practice as soon as he came back.

Sense what’s going on inside your body.

However, he was surprised to find that not only was he not poisoned, but his cultivation had even improved.

Then, the Second Prince and Xie Bian looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?" The scholar strategist was somewhat puzzled.

The Second Prince and Xie Bian went to Yishiju for a meal and after returning, they became strange.

"It's okay." The second prince waved his hand.

According to Li Chengqian's rule, no further words should be said about the matter of this elixir.

Otherwise, if you open your mouth you will die.

They dare not take any risks.

After a moment of silence, the Second Prince looked at the scholar and asked:

"How's the plan going?"

"Everything is going well." replied the scholar-adviser.

"Okay, everything continues."

"Yes!"

After resting for a long time, the second prince left the mansion and went into the palace.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Xie Bian asked.

"Find some trouble for the prince to do." said the second prince.

Xie Bian: "..."

I always feel like something is weird.

In the past, I was really sincere in dealing with the prince.

Now, well, I am still sincere in dealing with the prince.

However, the only difference is that all future plans are doomed to fail.

Moreover, it seemed that the Second Prince had made it a habit to target the Crown Prince.

Guangxin Palace.

Li Yunrui frowned slightly as he listened to the report:
"It was just a simple meal, no conflict?"

"No." The maid replied.

Li Yunrui was silent for a moment and didn't think much about it.

"Your Highness, Minister Guo just sent a message that His Majesty summoned him to the palace last night and asked about the etiquette related to the Crown Princess."

"Crown Princess!" Li Yunrui was shocked.

Then, she quickly reacted, "Yes, the Crown Prince has now begun to supervise the country, so naturally he must appoint a Crown Princess."

Speaking of the words "Crown Princess", Li Yunrui suddenly became silent.

"I don't know who His Majesty will choose for the Crown Prince." said the personal female official.

Li Yunrui was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked:
"Do you think the prince has a favorite woman in his heart?

If he were to appoint a crown princess, who would he choose? "
