I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 56 Si Lili escapes, Fan Xian comes to visit

Last night, Li Chengzong, who had lived in the palace for many years and suddenly changed his bed, was a little reluctant to fall asleep. He tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He tossed and turned for most of the night, and finally they were too tired and fell into a deep sleep.

It was not until noon that Li Chengzong woke up slowly.

He was stunned to find that the beautiful woman beside him had disappeared.

If Si Lili was simply saying goodbye last night, Li Chengzong could only say, just go, you will be caught anyway, it won't be too late to show up then.

But after what happened last night, he never thought of letting Si Lili leave.

However, Si Lili left now, and left quietly.

You know, he is a grandmaster. When Si Lili left, no matter how slight the noise was, he should have noticed it.

"What's going on?!"

[Ding, the system has been upgraded. The layout will be adjusted according to the specific situation of each world. Please check it yourself. ]

[Ding, due to the final system upgrade, the host's consciousness will be damaged, and the host has fallen into a deep sleep. ]

"System, have you completed the upgrade?"

[Ding, yes, host. ]

"So it was you who did this again, causing me not to notice Si Lili leaving?"

[Ding, the system upgrade has been completed. The host's consciousness cannot be manipulated. It is the host's instinct to avoid danger and protect itself! ]

Upon hearing this, Li Chengzong immediately became angry.

"Nonsense, I can't control my consciousness. Then explain to me why I have no interest in other women besides Si Lili. As soon as I have the slightest interest, it's like someone pours a bucket of cold water on me."

【Ding……】

Li Chengzong interrupted directly: "Can you stop dinging me? You keep dinging me like this, it makes me feel like there's a microwave in my head."

[Okay, host. ]

Well, not bad, it’s a good and obedient system.

[The system is being upgraded, which has a certain impact on the host's emotions. The system is very sorry. In order to express apology, combined with the status of feudal society and the host's special identity, the system has made special modifications to the continuous tasks. Concubines are no longer included in the wife, but the host can only marry one wife, or not marry a wife. 】

"According to what you said, if concubines are not considered wives, then naturally one can only marry one wife. Is it necessary to specifically state that one can only marry one wife?" Li Chengzong said that the system was a bit superfluous.

[The host is a prince, and can have a concubine, that is, a co-wife, who belongs to the category of wife. 】

Uh... okay, he was shallow.

"You won't be able to control that aspect of me now, right?"

[The system cannot control the host's consciousness and emotions. It just dissipated energy during the upgrade, which had a certain impact on the host's emotions. It has now been repaired. Please use the correct words. ]

Li Chengzong laughed.

[Host, please note that the system also has a temper and bottom line. Please do not insult the system's integrity. You have a special connection with your loved one because you have broken through to the Grandmaster level and have lost your lust. In addition, the system's upgrade has affected you. Love is the most unpredictable emotion in the world. This system is not capable of controlling it. The main responsibility does not lie with the system.]

Li Chengzong was stunned, and the scenes of last night emerged in his mind. His heart was still burning, and he immediately retorted: "I almost let you fool me. If I lack lust, why am I so interested in Si Lili?"

[You are attracted to other women just because of their beauty, but you love Si Lili. As your Grandmaster realm becomes more and more complete, your lust will become less and less. You should be able to feel that after becoming a true Grandmaster half a year ago, you rarely have lustful situations. Your lack of interest in other women cannot be denied that there is a certain influence of the system, but it is mainly due to you. Do you understand, stupid host! ]

"Are you saying that there is something wrong with my state of mind?"

[Host, do you think you are still human? ]

Li Chengzong said angrily: "Nonsense, I am not a human being, what can I be?"

Are you an ordinary person?

"of course not……"

Li Chengzong paused.

[It seems that the host has also noticed that the Grand Master is no longer an ordinary person, and his state of mind is naturally different. The host loves Si Lili, and desires other women. Desire can be suppressed, but love cannot. For the host's situation, please refer to the four great masters of this world, especially Si Gu Jian's feelings for Ye Qingmei. ]

Li Chengzong was silent.

If you think carefully about the situation of the four great masters, they are indeed very indifferent in terms of lust. Emperor Qing has not entered or left the harem for many years, and the other three great masters don't even have women.

"Is this Grand Master equivalent to a monk who practices asceticism?"

[To some extent, he is more like a monk than a monk, unless he is like the host or Si Gu Jian, and has developed love in his heart and is obsessed with love.]

"Doesn't Emperor Qing love Ye Qingmei too?"

[Emperor Qing is obsessed with power, more than he likes Ye Qingmei, that is not love. ]

Li Chengzong remembers a saying like this: Some things we once didn’t believe in, we later found out to be real, while some things we firmly believed in, we finally found out that they didn’t exist at all, such as love.

He didn't know whether he loved Si Lili, but he knew very well that he couldn't let Si Lili leave like that, and he had to "catch" her back.

I quickly got up and found that the bed sheet was missing and there was a note left on the table.

So, what was her intention in bringing the bed sheet?
Li Chengzong was stunned for a moment, picked up the note on the table, and his eyelids twitched with anger.

"Sleep with me, and still want to forget about each other? Dream on!"

The Qi crushed the note in his hand, and Li Chengzong scattered it casually, and went directly back to the palace to mobilize people. Fan Xian was dissatisfied with the Supervisory Council's decision to release Cheng Jushu, so he dragged a coffin to the palace early in the morning, and then walked through the downtown area with the coffin, and went to the Supervisory Council on Tianhe Street, and chose to kill Cheng Jushu in front of the gate of the Supervisory Council in public.

He is able to judge the situation and has a revengeful character. Although Teng Zijing did not die, the plot still unfolds the same way.

Fan Xian first pulled the coffin to Teng Zijing's home, had a conversation with Teng Zijing, and after arranging for Teng Zijing to fake his death and leave Kyoto, he began to investigate the Niulan Street assassination case.

Under the guidance of someone with ulterior motives, Fan Xian and Wang Qinian soon discovered that Si Lili was related to the assassination on Niulan Street and identified Si Lili as a secret agent of Northern Qi.

However, Si Lili was involved with Li Chengzong, and thinking about their relationship, Fan Xian and Wang Qinian were both a little worried.

So, before leaving the city the next day, Fan Xian and Wang Qinian came to the palace on purpose.

In the hall of the palace, Li Chengzong was squatting on the ground making a kite. Beside him, there were a dozen children aged seven or eight, laughing and making noises, and eight or nine children who looked to be only one year old were crawling around on the ground.

In this scene, those who knew he was a prince, and those who didn't thought Li Chengzong was a nanny, which stunned Fan Xian.

"What's up?"

Li Chengzong was making a kite without even raising his head.

"Yes, there is something. I am investigating the Niulan Street assassination case and found out that Si Lili is a spy from Northern Qi. I am going to go out of the city to catch her. Thinking of her relationship with you, I came to tell you."

Li Chengzong said "oh" and waved his hand: "I know, go and do your thing."

Fan Xian nodded and left the palace with Wang Qinian.

When he was going out, he happened to meet Li Yi coming in and the two passed each other.

By the time Fan Xian remembered Li Yi and was about to call for help, Li Yi had already disappeared from his sight.

"Sir, do you know him?"

Fan Xian nodded and asked, "Do you think he knows that Si Lili is a spy from Northern Qi?"

"Your Highness?"

Wang Qinian thought for a moment and said, "The Third Prince probably doesn't know. He is a prince of our dynasty. If he knew that Si Lili was a spy from Northern Qi, he would never be with Si Lili."

Fan Xian did not comment, and thought about the assassination on Niulan Street as he walked.

After walking a long way, he suddenly said, "No, he should know."

"Sir, are you saying that the Third Prince knows Si Lili's identity as a Northern Qi spy?"

"You still remember the man we met at the gate of the palace, right? He was the one who saved me and Teng Zijing on Niulan Street. On the day of the assassination on Niulan Street, he arrived just in time. If he was an ordinary person, it could be said to be a coincidence, but he happened to be Li Chengzong's man. I can only think of one possibility, that is, Li Chengzong knew that someone was assassinating me on Niulan Street, so he sent someone to save me."

Fan Xian took a breath and continued to analyze, "In the Niulan Street assassination, it was clearly the work of Northern Qi spies and Qing dignitaries in collusion. Li Chengzong couldn't have killed me, because if he wanted to kill me, there was no need to save me."

"That's right. If the Third Prince wants to kill you, you won't be able to leave Niulan Street."

As a clerk in the Supervisory Council, Wang Qinian was well aware of the terror of Li Chengzong's men.

Unless one is one of the four great masters in the world, anyone who is in such a situation as on Niulan Street will surely die!
"Then tell me, since he didn't arrange the assassination on Niulan Street, where did he get the information from?"

Wang Qinian opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Fan Xian had already spoken.

"There are only two sources of information in advance. Either someone from Qing State told him, or it was a Northern Qi spy, Si Lili, who told him. I prefer Si Lili. After all, Li Chengzong is a ninth-rank master and has been with Si Lili for so long. It is impossible that he did not notice anything unusual about Si Lili. So he must have caught hold of Si Lili's identity as a Northern Qi spy, and Si Lili would have told him the news of the Niulan Street assassination. But there is one thing I can't figure out."

"What's the problem?"

"Why didn't he tell me ahead of time?"

"Why don't you go back and ask?"

"Forget it, the most important thing is to catch Si Lili first. Once we catch Si Lili, we'll know everything."

On the other side, the palace hall.

Li Yi was also reporting Si Lili's affairs to Li Chengzong.

After investigation yesterday and last night, we found out where Si Lili was hiding in Kyoto early this morning.

Unfortunately, when we got there, it was still a little late and Si Lili had already left the city.

Li Chengzong felt a little regretful, but it was okay. He smiled and said, "Since we are out of the city, there is no need to track her down. You can just go to the Armor Hill and wait. If you don't let that woman know what desperate situation is, she won't be able to come back with you honestly."

Li Yi nodded and said, "Master, do you want to send someone to wait at Chaomeng River? If the mistress left from Chaomeng River, I'm afraid we have to go directly to Northern Qi to bring her back."

Although he could not remember the specific plot, Li Chengzong still remembered that Si Lili was preparing to return to Northern Qi by boat from Danzhou, and he just needed to stop her on the way east to Danzhou.

So I looked at the map yesterday and discussed it with Li Junxin and others.

In the end, before he could even say a word, Li Junxin and other talented people from the battlefield determined Si Lili's escape route.

It was determined that Si Lili would go by sea, and it was quickly determined that Si Lili would either go by Pijia Hill or Chaomeng River.

After a discussion among several people, Li Chengzong was completely stunned.

Judging from the plot, Si Lili should have gone to the Armor Hill.

But just in case, Li Chengzong nodded and said, "Then send a few people to wait in Chaomeng River. If she resists, knock her out and bring her back."
