Joy of Life: I am Li Chengze, and I have mastered the Eight Wonders

Chapter 43 Ye Qingmei

"In Northern Qi, you almost put Fan Xian into a desperate situation, but in the end you were able to turn enemy into friend." Li Yunrui's tone was filled with admiration.

"Fan Xian even drove me out of Kyoto. Do you think I can let go of this grudge?" Li Yunrui's words revealed her dissatisfaction with Fan Xian.

Li Chengze was about to respond when suddenly a reminder sounded in his mind:

"Reminder: Trigger the Silver Level Active Mission 'War'."

"Mission requirements: Eliminate the conflict between Li Yunrui and Fan Xian." "Mission successful, Fenghou Qimen."

Hearing this reminder, Li Chengze's heart moved. He didn't expect that he would trigger another task, which seemed to be simpler than the previous task of eliminating the estrangement between him and Fan Xian.

At the beginning, he revealed his identity as a time traveler and eliminated the gap between him and Fan Xian. That was an opening. In comparison, their real-name authentication chat seemed to be less difficult this time.

Li Chengze thought that although Li Yunrui had a fight with Fan Xian, she was driven out of Kyoto by Fan Xian, which meant that she was at a disadvantage in this fight.

Fan Xian's hostility towards her might not be as deep as his hostility towards Li Chengze in his previous life.

This might be an opportunity for him to accomplish this task more easily.

He restrained his attitude and said, "My dear nephew, we were originally on the same side, but now it seems that you have chosen to stand with Fan Xian and put me aside, right?"

"Auntie, you misunderstood what I said."

Li Chengze shook his head slightly and replied, "First of all, I didn't abandon your idea. You know, it's easy for a person to achieve his goal, which is to make more friends and reduce hostility. How could I give up an ally like you for no reason?"

“Besides, the problem seems to be on your side.”

"At first, you seemed to be on the same side as the prince,"

“But then, you seemed to be on my side again.”

"However, in fact, you are in the same group with His Majesty the Emperor, aren't you?" Li Yunrui's face froze, and he looked at Li Chengze in shock, obviously not expecting him to be so outspoken.

"Why, I've already told you the whole truth, do you still want to defend yourself?" Li Chengze asked when he saw Li Yunrui's shocked and speechless look.

"Ha ha……"

Li Yunrui laughed softly, looked at Li Chengze, and said, "When did you notice it?"

Now that he had been exposed, it would be too disgraceful to deny it, so Li Yunrui did not continue to argue.

"Is the time of perception really that important?" Li Chengze asked back.

“Okay, let’s change the question.”

Li Yunrui's expression became serious, and he continued, "Since you have seen through it, you should pretend to be ignorant and take advantage of this opportunity, but you directly exposed it. What is your purpose?"

"The purpose is very simple. Didn't you just say that I betrayed our alliance? In fact, I am still willing to form an alliance with you." Li Chengze replied.

"So, you want me to betray the Emperor and form an alliance with you?" Hearing this, Li Yunrui said to Li Chengze in a strange tone.

Whether it was the previous alliance with the crown prince or the later alliance with Li Chengze, Li Chengze's real intention was always to maintain the alliance with Li Yunrui.

"There is a deeper truth hidden beneath these appearances. Li Yunrui has actually been following Emperor Qing's instructions."

"Coupled with her deep worship of the powerful, she has a twisted admiration for Emperor Qing."

"In Li Yunrui's mind, it is simply a fantasy for her to betray Emperor Qing, even for me."

"Li Chengze clearly knows that I am a loyal supporter of Emperor Qing, but he still hopes that I will betray him. Isn't this ridiculous?" "Aunt, do you know why Emperor Qing wants Fan Xian to take over the inner treasury?" "

Li Chengze noticed the contempt in Li Yunrui's eyes and asked a question.

"Isn't it because he married Wan'er?" Li Yunrui seemed a little surprised.

"No, actually it's because of Fan Xian's true identity..." Li Chengze shook his head slightly.

"Fan Xian's identity? Isn't he Fan Jian's illegitimate son?" Li Yunrui said with a hint of weirdness in his tone.

"You are wrong. He is not Fan Jian's illegitimate child. To be more precise, he was adopted by Fan Jian. There is no blood relationship between him and Fan Jian." Li Chengze shook his head again.

"So, whose child is Fan Xian?" Li Yunrui began to feel uneasy.

"Fan Xian is indeed an illegitimate child, but he is not Fan Jian's, but Emperor Qing's illegitimate child. If you want to say, he is actually my half-brother." Li Chengze said.

it's out of the question!

Li Yunrui instinctively wanted to refute.

Even though he was Emperor Qing's illegitimate child, since he was the emperor's child, he should have been raised by Emperor Qing himself. How could he be handed over to Fan Jian?
However, just as she was about to refute, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and her voice trembled: "Then, who is Fan Xian's mother?"

"Ye Qingmei." Li Chengze uttered the name.

This name was like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering the defenses in Li Yunrui's heart. The vague anxieties and speculations in her heart were confirmed at this moment.

"No, Ye Qingmei, he is actually Ye Qingmei's son!"

"Fan Xian, he is actually Ye Qingmei's son!"

"I want him to disappear, I want him to disappear!"

After learning that Fan Xian was Ye Qingmei's son, Li Yunrui completely lost her mind. Her emotions were like a flood that broke through a dam and could not be controlled.

Li Chengze remained silent, just staring at Li Yunrui calmly, watching her anger and roar.

After a long time, Li Yunrui's emotions gradually calmed down. Her face showed a deep sense of helplessness and sadness: "No wonder Fan Xian had smooth sailing since he arrived in Kyoto."

"No wonder His Majesty thinks so highly of him, even more than you princes."

"No wonder the inner treasury was given to Fan Xian. It turns out they wanted to return the items to their original owners."

"Your Majesty, I have done so much for him. I did all the things that were inconvenient for him to do, and I killed all the people that were inconvenient for him to kill."

"I didn't expect that he would choose that woman and her son in the end, and gave up on me."

After saying this, Li Yunrui immediately stood up, without staying with Li Chengze, and turned around and left.

"Goodbye, Auntie. Come and sit with me when you have time." Li Chengze said goodbye, but he did not stand up himself.

Li Chengze shook his head. It was very difficult to resolve the conflict between Li Yunrui and Fan Xian. He could only do his best.

If you succeed, that would be the best; if you fail, that doesn't matter. After all, this is a proactive task, and there will be no punishment even if you fail.

However, after Li Yunrui left in the afternoon, Fan Xian came directly to the mansion in the evening.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Li Chengze asked when he saw that Fan Xian's face was not looking good.
