LRAB Chapter 80: Are you going to carry out your evil plan?
Chapter 80: Are you going to carry out your evil plan?
In the dead of night, Ye Chengfeng changed into a night-clothes and quietly left the Fan residence.
Meanwhile, Li Chengzhu had been waiting outside the mansion for quite some time.
"You've arrived. Are you going to carry out your evil plan?"
Ye Chengfeng was quite annoyed. He didn't know what was wrong with Li Chengzhu. He never spoke vaguely in front of him and always got straight to the point.
This is not a good thing, because the more Li Chengzhu acts this way, the less Ye Chengfeng can see through him.
"My plan should be advantageous to you, and besides, the Crown Prince's maternal clan should be considered a blood feud against you for killing your mother!"
"Although it is true, I do not hate the Crown Prince's maternal clan. On the contrary, I am somewhat grateful to them. It's a pity they are too stupid."
Ye Chengfeng waved his hand and walked ahead, saying as he went, "Hehe, you won't even have a chance for revenge. The Crown Prince's maternal clan was wiped out by Fan Jian and Chen Pingping long ago. Now only the Empress Dowager is left. Otherwise, how could the Crown Prince not be able to defeat the Second Prince?"
"What a pity, I was hoping to make use of it!"
Ye Chengfeng could tell that Li Chengze genuinely felt it was a pity.
"How about we get in touch with Chen Pingping? He's Ye Qingmei's best friend. If he knows your identity, you should be able to fool him easily."
"You underestimate Chen Pingping. Even with Fan Xian, he was using him."
Ye Chengfeng never expected that Li Chengzhu could see through Chen Pingping's manipulation of Fan Xian.
Although he used Fan Xian to avenge Ye Qingmei, using someone is still using someone, even if it doesn't endanger Fan Xian's life.
In Chen Pingping's eyes, Fan Xian was just a substitute for Ye Qingmei. If killing Fan Xian could revive Ye Qingmei, Chen Pingping would not hesitate to kill Fan Xian.
"No, what I'm trying to say is that he might help you kill Emperor Qing, or even help you force Fan Xian to stand against Emperor Qing."
Li Chengzhu was only observing Chen Pingping from Fan Xian's perspective, so he naturally didn't know as much as Ye Chengfeng.
However, Li Chengzhu seemed to be very wary of Chen Pingping.
Compared to Chen Pingping, Ye Chengfeng could see through what Ye Chengfeng wanted, but he couldn't see through what Chen Pingping wanted.
"Proceed with your plan first. Can your 'Sword Heart Demon Seed' truly control the Crown Prince?"
"Heh, the demonic seed planted in your mind can never control a person, including the demonic seed I planted in your mind, it can't control you either."
Ye Chengfeng felt that Li Chengzhu might have overestimated him. If Ye Chengfeng was so powerful, why would he use this method to control Li Chengze?
Compared to controlling the crown prince, isn't it more satisfying to control your enemy?
Both of them were of the ninth rank, so their speed was naturally not slow. Before they could finish speaking, they had already entered the East Palace.
Inside the magnificent palace, the lights were on, and several unpainted portraits of beautiful women were displayed around the room.
"I never imagined the Crown Prince was such a devoted lover?"
Li Chengzhu spoke first, but his words were not intended for the Crown Prince's ears.
But this startled Crown Prince Li Chengqian, who broke out in a cold sweat.
Turning around, he saw two masked men in black standing less than two meters behind him.
Li Chengqian did not shout "Assassins!" because he was unaware of the two men's purpose.
The fact that they were able to infiltrate the Eastern Palace means that the two of them are exceptionally strong; at this distance, they could definitely kill me.
"Who are you people?"
Faced with this situation, Li Chengqian became even calmer.
"Hehe, Your Highness, don't panic. We're here to seek your cooperation."
Upon hearing the word "cooperation," Li Chengqian felt completely relieved. As long as the person who came wasn't a reckless brute, he wouldn't be in any immediate danger.
"Oh? How will this cooperation work? And why should I cooperate with you?"
Ye Chengfeng didn't speak, but gave Li Chengzhu a look.
Li Chengzhu immediately understood his meaning, took off his black mask, and revealed his face, which was nine-tenths similar to Fan Xian's.
"Fan Xian? No, you're not Fan Xian!"
Li Chengqian was quite familiar with Fan Xian, but he was certain that the person in front of him who looked extremely similar to Fan Xian was definitely not Fan Xian.
"Is it a disguise technique? No, it shouldn't be. If it were a disguise, he wouldn't have needed to wear a mask in the first place!"
"Your Highness, why don't you try to guess the identity of my good brother?"
Ye Chengfeng said to Li Chengqian with a smile.
"Could he be Fan Xian's twin brother, or 'Shadow'?"
The so-called "shadow" is not the shadow of the Control Yuan, but a double for a big shot.
The 'shadow' only appears when facing a life-or-death crisis.
Li Chengqian had his own shadow, but unfortunately Li Chengze knew him too well, so the shadow was useless to Li Chengze.
Li Chengqian naturally never used the shadow.
Moreover, shadows are hard to find, requiring various coincidences.
"That's right, he is indeed Fan Xian's twin brother. Oh, and he also has another name, Li Chengzhu!"
Upon hearing this name, Li Chengqian's eyes widened immediately!
How could he not understand the meaning of this name!
"What do you mean by that?"
"Because Fan Xian and Li Chengzhu are the sons of Emperor Qing and Ye Qingmei, didn't you know that?"
Ye Chengfeng looked at Li Chengqian with feigned surprise.
At this moment, Li Chengqian was no longer as surprised as he had been when he first heard the news.
"What is your purpose in telling me this news?"
Li Chengqian calmly sat down on the ground, and even gestured for Ye Chengfeng and Li Chengzhu to sit down as well.
The two of them didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly opposite Li Chengqian.
"Our goal is simple: we can help Your Highness ascend the throne as soon as possible. However, once Your Highness ascends the throne, Chengzhu must be included in the imperial ancestral temple."
"It's that simple?"
"Is it that simple, Your Highness?"
Li Chengqian remained silent. He wasn't a fool. If Li Chengzhu didn't enter the ancestral temple, then he could naturally trust him.
Because he posed no threat to him, but once he entered the ancestral temple, he would become a competitor.
Even if he ascends the throne, Li Chengzhu can then justifiably attack him.
Of course, Li Chengqian could choose to deny it at that time.
But given their combined strength, how could he possibly resist?
Given the strength of these two people, assassinating him wouldn't be too difficult.
Unless he has a Grandmaster protecting him, but the Grandmaster he knows, Hong Sixiang, is too old.
Including another Grandmaster of the Qing Kingdom, Ye Liuyun, who is also quite old.
By the time he ascends the throne, these two will probably have already passed away peacefully.
As for cultivating a grandmaster himself?
That's almost impossible.
"I know Your Highness has concerns, so I naturally came here with a solution to those concerns in mind."
"Oh? What method?"
"I have a method that can make Your Highness a ninth-rank martial artist in a short time. In that case, the two of us will naturally be unable to pose a threat to Your Highness."
Li Chengqian was extremely excited. Didn't he want to become a master?
Of course I want to!
However, ordinary cultivation techniques are too arduous, and Emperor Qing would never allow the Crown Prince to learn advanced techniques, such as the "Overbearing True Qi" and Ye Liuyun's "Flowing Cloud Scattered Hand".
It wasn't out of fear that the Crown Prince would become a Grandmaster, but rather because cultivating domineering true qi was too dangerous.
As for the Flowing Cloud Scattered Hand, this skill relies heavily on talent.
Li Chengqian clearly lacked the talent, and Emperor Qing knew all too well his son's limitations.
As for being wary of Li Chengqian becoming a Grandmaster?
That's impossible. Don't be fooled by Emperor Qing's frequent suppression of the Crown Prince; he's actually training him.
Li Chengqian was the successor chosen by Emperor Qing, but Emperor Qing did not believe he could live forever.
Emperor Qing's obsession was simply to become a great emperor for all time.
After Emperor Qing's death, Li Chengqian ascended the throne. If Li Chengqian could become a Grandmaster, Emperor Qing would be overjoyed.
