I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 82 Meeting Li Yunrui
Early the next morning.

Guo Baokun went to the Ministry of Justice prison and met Guo Youzhi without any hindrance.

An independent prison, a clean environment, and books to pass the time, it seems that everything is good except the lack of personal freedom.

No one knew what the father and son talked about, but after Guo Baokun came out of the Ministry of Justice prison, he went straight to Prince Ding's mansion and said that he wanted to repay the favor and was willing to be a slave.

However, just as Li Chengzong said, he was willing to help Guo Baokun only because he liked him and did not ask for anything in return, so Guo Baokun was directly driven out of the palace without even seeing Li Chengzong.

Five days after Guo Baokun was driven away, Hong Sixiang arrived.

Because Chen Pingping's plan led to the traitor Zhu Ge of the Supervisory Council, Hong Sixiang, as a witness, finally got out of the palace. Naturally, he had to stop by to see Li Chengzong and tell Li Chengzong his guess.

Li Yunrui will be banished from Kyoto by Emperor Qing.

Li Chengzong did not care about this. He forced Hong Sixiang to stay for a meal before letting him return to the palace.

Not long after Hong Sixiang left, the second brother sent Xie Bian.

What he said sounded nice, but to sum it up in one sentence: ask him to go to the palace to plead for Li Yunrui.

Later, the prince also sent people, as well as the female official beside Li Yunrui. The commander of the palace guards, Yan Xiaoyi, even came in person and brought a letter from Li Yunrui.

At the same time, in a room in the Supervisory Council.

Chen Pingping flipped through the scroll and asked casually, "How many people went to Prince Ding's Mansion?"

Shadow replied, "The Second Prince, the Crown Prince, and the Princess have all sent people to Prince Ding's Palace. Just now, the head of the Imperial Guards, Yan Xiaoyi, went there in person."

"Have you met the Third Prince?"

"See you."

"Do you think he will go and plead for the princess?"

"To be honest, I can't see through this Third Prince and I don't know."

"He won't go. Our Third Prince is a law-abiding person. To some extent, he is very similar to the young lady, even more so than Fan Xian. Moreover, he seems to act recklessly, but in fact he always abides by the rules. Such people can live long. I agree with what he said: only by living can one realize his ambitions. If he can succeed to the throne in the future, he will surely make our Qing Kingdom flourish and create an unprecedented era of peace and prosperity."

"You think so highly of him?"

"That's the truth, but I'm afraid I won't be able to see it."

Chen Pingping was hinting at something, but unfortunately Shadow didn't hear it.

"I admit that he is indeed gifted in martial arts. Anyway, I can't sense his aura. I'm afraid it's true as Yun Zhilan said. He is now the best person under the Grandmaster. But when it comes to governing the country, how can he, a prince who has barely attended court, talk about how to govern the country?"

Chen Pingping looked far away, and was silent for a long time before he smiled and said, "Go ask Yan Ruohai and you will know. You all underestimated this Third Prince. You all said that he is the best under the Grandmaster. Is he really just the best under the Grandmaster?"

Shadow immediately shook his head and said, "Impossible, he is not even twenty years old."

"You also said that he is gifted. Otherwise, why do you think His Majesty treats him so specially? There is no shortage of ninth-grade masters in the world."

"He's a Grandmaster, how could he possibly do that?!"

In Yingzi's opinion, Li Chengzong had become a ninth-rank master at the age of eighteen or nineteen. His talent in martial arts was not inferior to that of the four great masters. He would definitely become a grand master in the future, but that was only in the future. But now Chen Pingping told him that Li Chengzong was already a grand master. This could no longer be described as a gifted talent, he was simply a monster!

Chen Pingping ignored the shocked shadow and continued to flip through the files.

Because Li Chengzong mentioned the assassination case, he specially restarted the investigation. Today's Supervisory Commission is much stronger than it was back then, and it has made every effort to investigate what happened back then. Although it still failed to find any useful information, it did find a lot of interesting things.

He also had a hunch that if he continued investigating along this line, it would not take long before he would find the big fish hidden behind the Taiping Villa tragedy.

This is Prince Ding’s Mansion.

Just as Chen Pingping guessed, Li Chengzong did not go to the palace to plead for Li Yunrui.

However, the next day, when Li Yunrui drove out of Kyoto, he also left Kyoto.

In a pavilion thirty miles outside of Beijing, Li Chengzong leaned leisurely against a pillar, closing his eyes to rest.

Next to it was a majestic black horse, leisurely grazing on the grass.

Suddenly, Li Chengzong opened his eyes and looked towards Kyoto. Soon, a team appeared in his sight and slowly drove towards this side.

The team stopped when they arrived at the pavilion, and a charming, arrogant, and noble woman got off the carriage. She was Li Yunrui who was driven out of Kyoto.

"Stay away."

Li Yunrui dismissed the maid who was about to accompany her, walked to Li Chengzong and slowly sat down, looking at Li Chengzong with a sweet smile, and said infatuatedly: "I thought Zong'er would not come to see me, the aunt who was driven out of Kyoto."

"My aunt has sent me a message specifically, so I should come and see her. I just don't know what she wants me to do." Li Chengzong said indifferently.

The dislike he felt for Li Yunrui actually came from his mother Qin Yu. He disliked Li Yunrui because Qin Yu didn't like Li Yunrui.

From his own perspective, he can only say that as long as Li Yunrui doesn't cause any trouble, he will always treat Li Yunrui as a passerby, and it can't be said that he likes him or hates him.

"I want you to kill Chen Pingping." Li Yunrui said hatefully.

She knew very well that the reason she was driven out of Kyoto was not because of what Fan Xian did, but because she was schemed against by Chen Pingping, said things she shouldn't have said, and touched the bottom line of Emperor Qing, which led to this end.

This made her very unwilling. She had been planning for so many years, but in the end, all her efforts failed because of Chen Pingping. This unprecedented setback made her extremely angry. Since she couldn't outwit Chen Pingping, the simplest and most effective way was to kill him.

"Kill Chen Pingping?"

Li Chengzong was stunned and said with a smile: "Aunt, do you know how Lin Ruofu evaluated you?"

"How do you rate it?"

Li Yunrui was really curious about how Lin Ruofu would evaluate her.

"He said you were crazy, and now it seems to be true. Chen Pingping controls the Supervisory Council. Once he dies, the Supervisory Council will be like a wild horse that has run away. Aunt, do you know what kind of chaos it will cause? Besides, how can Chen Pingping be killed just like that?"

Li Yunrui also understood that unless a grandmaster took action, or Emperor Qing wanted Chen Pingping to die, no one could kill Chen Pingping.

"I know Chen Pingping is not easy to kill, but if Zong'er wants to kill him, it's actually not that difficult, right? Grandmaster Hong Sixiang will listen to Zong'er."

Li Chengzong shook his head: "You got the point wrong. It's not that killing Chen Pingping is difficult, but killing Chen Pingping will cause too much turmoil. I will not agree to this from my aunt."

"That's right, Zong'er, you should kill him as soon as possible. Chen Pingping has too much power. Although I don't know why, Chen Pingping is determined to help Fan Xian take over the Supervisory Council and His Majesty."

Li Yunrui paused for a moment, "I believe you have figured it out, Zong'er. His Majesty is also partial to Fan Xian. If Fan Xian takes over the inner treasury and the Supervisory Council, he will be the biggest stumbling block for you to ascend to the throne. Now that Chen Pingping is killed, Fan Xian will be like a tree without roots, unable to stir up any waves. Moreover, now is the best opportunity to kill Chen Pingping. Zong'er, you can put the blame on me for everything."

Li Yunrui leaned forward, about to lean on Li Chengzong, but Li Chengzong moved back and said with a smile: "Aunt, don't you think highly of my second brother and the prince? Now from what you mean, you want to help me, but do you think I'm that stupid?"

"How do you want me to prove it?"

"Aunt, are you planning to devote yourself to me in broad daylight?"

Seeing Li Yunrui's actions, Li Chengzong's face changed, and he thought to himself, what Lin Ruofu said was indeed right. This is a feudal society. If he is not a madman, he would never do such a thing.

"Zong'er, you are joking. You and I are aunt and nephew. This is against human ethics."

Li Yunrui said.

"Forget it. I'm too lazy to play charades with you."

Li Chengzong said bluntly: "I know what you are thinking, and I even know why."

"Zong'er, you..."

The biggest secret in his heart was exposed, and it was exposed by Li Chengzong. Li Yunrui was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.

"I have to say, Aunt, your vision of men is really not very good. You paid so much for a man, but in the end you got nothing. Although the old man is my father, I must say that he is really a scumbag."

Of course, calling Emperor Qing a scumbag is only based on Ye Qingmei's incident, and has nothing to do with Li Yunrui. From Li Yunrui's perspective, Emperor Qing is at most ruthless, but not a scumbag. Everything is Li Yunrui's own fault.

However, considering that Li Yunrui did not cause him any trouble and was driven out of Kyoto, he did not attack Li Yunrui.

Li Yunrui's pretty face suddenly turned cold because Li Chengzong had touched her most painful spot. She had done a lot for Emperor Qing over the years, but what was the final result?
He lost the financial power of the inner treasury and was driven out of Kyoto by Emperor Qing.
