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

Chapter 58: Divine Weapon
Emperor Qing was grateful for Li Chengze's reminder. After all, it allowed him to survive Barrett's gun.

However, Emperor Qing was naturally suspicious, and since Li Chengze had a close relationship with Fan Xian, he did not completely believe what Li Chengze said, so he specially summoned the eldest prince Li Chengru to confirm the situation.

Unexpectedly, what Li Chengru said not only confirmed what Li Chengze said, but also revealed that Fan Xian’s first concern after waking up was the safety of Emperor Qing.

This made Emperor Qing feel warm and a little guilty, because he had suspected Fan Xian and even tried to get information from Li Chengze and Li Chengru many times.

"It turns out that Fan Xian is so loyal to me."

Emperor Qing said with emotion and nodded.

"That's true." The eldest prince Li Chengru responded, affirming Fan Xian's loyalty.

Fan Xian bravely protected the emperor when he was assassinated. Although he failed to chase the assassin, Emperor Qing personally ordered
Facing Si Gu Jian's brother, Fan Xian's failure is understandable. He was seriously injured and his true energy was completely lost. His loyalty is touching.

"Okay, you can go down. Your performance is worthy of praise." After understanding the situation, Emperor Qing expressed his appreciation to Li Chengru.

At the same time, Princess Li Yunrui also learned that Fan Xian was seriously injured.

"Oh? In order to chase the assassin, Fan Xian was not only seriously injured, but also his true energy was dissipated?" Li Yunrui showed an irrepressible smile.

Fan Xian is Ye Qingmei's son, and may even be Emperor Qing's illegitimate son. Although this relationship has not been made public, Emperor Qing knows it in his heart.

Ye Qingmei is the woman that Emperor Qing deeply loves, so Emperor Qing has a special preference and guilt towards Fan Xian.

This time, Fan Xian was seriously injured while chasing the assassin. Even Emperor Qing, who had a heart as hard as stone, couldn't help but be moved.

Li Yunrui knew Emperor Qing very well and knew that as long as his own interests and power were not affected, Emperor Qing was still a sentimental person.

Therefore, Emperor Qing's favor and compensatory psychology towards Fan Xian will be even stronger.

Li Yunrui couldn't calm down when he thought about Emperor Qing's favoritism towards Ye Qingmei's son.

“It’s a truly unique opportunity.”

Li Yunrui thought to herself that even though she knew that Emperor Qing would be furious if Fan Xian was killed, her resentment made her desperate.

Ye Qingmei's son must be eliminated, no matter what the cost.

In the capital city, an assassination incident in an ancient suspended temple shook the foundation of the imperial city like a thunderclap. Emperor Qing was seriously injured, and the eldest prince resolutely took on the responsibility of outer defense.

At the same time, Fan Xian's injuries also concerned people, but fortunately Li Chengze stayed with him and took good care of him.

A few days passed in a flash, Emperor Qing and Fan Xian were resting in the Hanging Temple, and the ripples of this assassination incident,
It has already caused a stir inside and outside the capital, and has become a hot topic of discussion on the streets.

On the one hand, the news that Emperor Qing had been attacked was like a bolt from the blue, and it was unbelievable;
On the other hand, a more shocking secret surfaced-Emperor Qing was actually a hidden grandmaster.

For a long time, it has been said that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the palace, and the title of grandmaster is often associated with Hong Sixiang. Now the truth is revealed, it turns out that the legendary strong man is Emperor Qing himself.

This news spread like wildfire, quickly in Kyoto and even throughout Qing Kingdom. People were talking about it and were amazed.

As for distant foreign countries, it has not caused a big stir yet, because it takes time for the news to travel across thousands of mountains and rivers and reach those places.

Inside the Kyoto Supervisory Council, a spy in a black robe stood solemnly in front of Chen Pingping and recounted the entire incident of the Hanging Temple in great detail.

Upon hearing that Fan Xian was seriously injured, Chen Pingping couldn't help but frown, his worry evident in his words.

However, what made the situation even more complicated was that the true energy in Fan Xian's body was out of control at this moment. This was not Shadow's fault, but rather his helplessness when his life was hanging by a thread.

Chen Pingping felt mixed emotions, worried about Fan Xian's safety and concerned about Emperor Qing's serious injury.

"That arrow accurately hit Your Majesty from hundreds of feet away. Even for a Grandmaster, it would be difficult for him to remain unscathed?"

Chen Pingping asked in a deep voice, his words revealing his shock at the incredible blow.

"Could it be that it was caused by the magic weapon given by the young lady?"

He asked further, his tone showing both curiosity about unknown powers and awe of the power of the weapon. Chen Pingping pondered inwardly, his thoughts flying. In the past, Ye Qingmei used the power of Barrett to snipe and kill the two most powerful enemies on the way to Emperor Qing's ascension to the throne.
This scene not only left an indelible shadow in Emperor Qing's heart, but was also deeply engraved in Chen Pingping's memory.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel suspicious. Could it be that someone really used the amazing weapon left by the young lady to launch a fatal attack on His Majesty?
Fan Xian? This thought quietly emerged in his mind and became more and more firm.

Unlike Emperor Qing who was just guessing, Chen Pingping was sure that this must have been done by Fan Xian.

Why? Because Emperor Qing knew nothing about Barrett's existence, and had searched secretly for years to no avail.

Naturally, Fan Xian can only be regarded as the prime suspect.

As for Chen Pingping, he knew very well that Fan Xian held this magical weapon, and he also knew that Fan Xian had already seen through the real culprit who killed his mother - Emperor Qing.

"Alas, even the Barrett left by the young lady can't completely destroy the Grandmaster?"

Chen Pingping sighed inwardly, and his thoughts turned to another relic - the shotgun hidden in the wheelchair.

For many years, he had never used this magical weapon to seek revenge, simply because he was doubtful and unsure whether it could shake the grandmaster.

Now, the answer seems clear: it is harmful but not fatal.

"Your Majesty will certainly be suspicious of Fan Xian. I need to find a way to cover up for him."

Chen Pingping made a secret decision and then reflected on himself.
"Why does this child act so impulsively?"

But soon, he denied his own judgment.

"No, Fan Xian is definitely not a reckless person. There must be a deeper meaning behind his actions."

Thinking of this, Chen Pingping frowned, his heart full of speculation and confusion about Fan Xian's true intention.

At first, I suspected that Fan Xian's actions were just impulse, wanting to avenge his mother, but after careful consideration, I realized that Fan Xian was not a rash person.

So, what kind of careful considerations are hidden behind his action this time?

The camera turns to the Fan residence in Kyoto, where the atmosphere is tense and anxious. Liu Ruyu eagerly holds Fan Jian's hand.

Her series of questions revealed her deep concern for Fan Xian's safety.

Although there have been some disputes between the two, over time, the little things they have experienced together have made them an inseparable family.

At the wedding, Fan Xian insisted that Liu Ruyu be treated as the mistress of the house. This respect and acceptance deeply touched her heart.

Therefore, when she learned about the assassination in the Hanging Temple and Fan Xian's serious injury, she was filled with worry.

"Master, how is Fan Xian's injury?" Liu Ruyu's voice trembled.

Fan Jian's face was solemn, but he tried his best to comfort her:
"Fortunately, the injury has stabilized and is not life-threatening at the moment."

"how so?
Since Fan Xian is injured, why are you here?" Liu Ruyu asked with some confusion.

"Oh, by the way, the ministers in the court have returned, and they are still needed to handle state affairs, so I naturally need to come back." Fan Jian explained.

"No, I still have to go to the Hanging Temple and take care of Fan Xian personally!
"Liu Ruyu's heart could not calm down. Even though she knew that Fan Xian was not in danger, she still wanted to see him with her own eyes and take care of him with her own hands.

Seeing Liu Ruyu like this, Fan Jian tried to comfort her again:
"Don't worry, Wan'er and Ruoruo are by his side. They will take good care of Fan Xian, and he will recover soon.

When his condition improves, he will naturally go down the mountain and return home. "

After hearing what Fan Jian said, although Liu Ruyu still felt a little reluctant, she knew that at this time she should trust those who also cared about Fan Xian.

So she nodded and prayed silently in her heart that Fan Xian would recover soon and return safely.
