Chapter 239 The eldest princess appears.

This voice was very magical. It made the somewhat angry prince stunned and speechless, and it also made the scene quieter.

The prince suppressed his anger with all his might. A look of complexity and fear flashed across his eyes at first, and then was irresistibly replaced by tenderness.

He was stunned for a moment before he realized something was wrong. He took two steps forward slowly, bowed in the direction of the voice and said, "Cheng Qian greets my aunt, but I don't know why she came to Beijing quietly. Cheng Qian thought she didn't want to see me anymore."

The owner of the voice was indeed the most beautiful princess in Kyoto, Li Yunrui.

She lifted the pearl curtain and walked out slowly with a smile on her face. Her posture and raised neck revealed grace and elegance.

It is obvious that the queen learned and imitated the eldest princess's movements and expressions.

Princess Li Yunrui looked at the person in front of her with a half-smile, which made the crown prince very nervous. He quickly lowered his head and dared not look directly into Li Yunrui's eyes. He even put aside the fact that she had betrayed him and joined forces with the second prince.

"Not only you, but I have also suffered heavy losses in this Ministry of Revenue incident. We have all been tricked by Fan Jian. How can we dare to enter the capital openly?"

The eldest princess, who had not been seen for many days, was still in good spirits, looking around with a sweet smile. She covered her mouth and laughed abruptly, "My father-in-law is really interesting. I wonder if it was my son-in-law's idea."

"Now that Jiangnan's money has been returned to the Ministry of Revenue, with Fan Jian's methods, outsiders will naturally not be able to find any loopholes."

The second prince whispered beside him.

He saw that the two had strange looks on their faces, and although he remained calm on the surface, his heart was filled with turmoil.

But the smile on his face became more sincere and kind.

The prince had already made up for the matter of embezzling the money from the Ministry of Finance this morning, so he was naturally not in a hurry at this moment. In order to show off in front of his beloved aunt, he pretended to be calm and said in a low voice; "Aunt, please give me some advice."

"What ideas do I have?" The princess smiled and said, "I just came to see you today and drink some tea!"

She stretched, showing off her well-proportioned figure. It was hard to imagine that she was the mother of an adult woman.

Although the eldest princess's actions were somewhat rude and inappropriate, the prince did not take it to heart at all. Instead, he looked obsessed.

The second prince's eyes gleamed, and his guess became more certain. He lowered his head silently, pretending not to look at anything inappropriate.

"Let's put the previous misunderstanding behind us. Now you two brothers must join forces to suppress Fan Xian in Kyoto. You are brothers, and you can't let outsiders laugh at you!" The eldest princess smiled sweetly, and her every move was full of charm. I don't know if she did it on purpose.

After saying that, Li Yunrui licked his lips.

The prince blushed for a moment, but he also regained his senses with this stimulation and silently glanced at the second prince beside him. Seeing that he had been listening quietly with his head down, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The prince responded with a trembling figure: "Of course, Cheng Qian knows!"

The atmosphere on the flower boat returned to its previous harmony.

Seeing that the two had almost finished reminiscing about the past, the second prince asked the question in his mind: "Did the aunt do anything?"

He was naturally referring to Fan Xian who was far away in Jiangnan. The eldest princess's face bloomed with a brilliant smile, which was a little bright and a little crazy! She said nothing, but it seemed like she said everything!

She returned to Kyoto this time just to buy insurance. The people sent to assassinate Fan Xian were already on the way, and before this order was passed to Junshan Society, she had already set off for Kyoto.

Now that he already knew that Fan Xian was that woman's son, how could Li Yunrui possibly forget the magic of Ye Qingmei and the blindfolded man beside her?
There was a high probability that the person who tried to assassinate Fan Xian would not be able to come back. As for whether it would be successful or not, leaving aside the question for now, in order to prevent the blindfolded man from going crazy, she had no choice but to temporarily avoid the spotlight and sneak back to Kyoto quietly.

"The people sent by my aunt. No, Cheng Qian meant, what kind of strength do those people have? You must know that not only is Fan Xian a ninth-rank warrior, but even the Supervisory Council has sent two teams of swordsmen to protect Fan Xian's safety! Although the Black Cavalry was not dispatched, it is not something that ordinary people or forces can touch Fan Xian!"

The prince asked the eldest princess anxiously, his concern evident in his words.

This is also the reason why the Crown Prince and the Second Prince formed an alliance in this flower boat today. They only wanted to suppress Fan Xian politically after his return. As for assassination, they do not have the idea or strength to do so.

But now that the eldest princess has taken action, if I add my own strength, perhaps I can succeed!

"Do you need Cheng Qian?" The prince hesitated to speak, as if he was in a hurry and his words were inappropriate and he seemed a little embarrassed.

Li Yunrui just shook her head silently. Although there was an information gap between her and the prince, judging from the prince's performance, he was really a fool!
If it wasn't for dealing with Fan Xian.
After the princess learned that Fan Xian was Ye Qingmei's son, she guessed that the blindfolded man must be by his side.

She was also an eyewitness to the turmoil. Even though she did not participate in the encirclement and suppression of Ye Qingmei, she knew it afterwards. But even so, the blindfolded man was able to break through the encirclement and suppression force and leave calmly with the young Fan Xian. You can imagine how powerful that man was!
Perhaps, there are more than just these great masters in the world?

Li Yunrui, who controls the Junshan Society, naturally knows the undercurrents beneath the surface.

After she sent out the killer, she knew that the assassination would most likely not succeed, but she still chose to do it!

The hatred that extended from his envy and jealousy towards Ye Qingmei was only one of the reasons. More importantly, he wanted to use Fan Xian to kill a large number of assassins from the Junshan Society. Although this move would not kill Fan Xian, it would offend the Junshan Society, and Fan Xian's actions in Jiangnan would be a pipe dream.

Li Yunrui thought it was worth sacrificing a few lives to buy some buffer time for the handover of the inner treasury!

The final result was that Emperor Qing was furious, Fan Xian returned to Kyoto safely, and Jiangnan was still his.

"You don't need to take action. We can't kill Fan Xian this time!" Li Yunrui did not explain why, and continued: "Fan Xian and I will compete in Kyoto to decide who is better and who will die!"

The second prince's eyes flickered, and then he asked in a deep voice: "But Wan'er..."

"I'm doing this for her own good!" The eldest princess suddenly became excited and shouted like crazy, "I won't let her stay with that bastard!"

······
After the secret meeting between the three people on the Liujing River ended, the second prince left here with the military guard.

In her own palace, Ye Ling'er waited for a long time. When she saw her husband returning, she took out a thick robe and put it on her husband, with a hint of sadness on her face.

The second prince felt warm in his heart. He looked at his wife who was no longer lively, apologized in his heart, and asked, "Have you had lunch?"

"Today." Ye Ling'er looked a little struggling, but she bit her lip to remind herself and asked with all her strength, "Where did you go?"
