As Li Chang'an's burning gaze swept over her entire body, her eyes became misty, and her cherry lips trembled as if she were about to burst.

"Your Highness, let me serve you... Mmm~"

Li Chang'an's fingers flowed smoothly as he climbed peaks and picked plum blossoms, feeling the woman's growth over the past four years.

A moment later, Si Lili's captivating gaze fell upon the bed not far away.

"Your Highness... let me serve you so you can rest."

Li Chang'an remained unmoved, and commanded in a gentle yet unquestionable voice.

"Lili, turn around and look in the mirror."

Chapter 85: Ranking of Romantic Figures Breaks 100! Fan Xian Visits Prince Yong's Mansion!

Si Lili was puzzled and then turned her head to look.

The clear mirror reflected the two of them perfectly.

She had never seen such a sensual scene in her entire life; it was all so white and shameful!

The woman was extremely shy and wanted to turn around, but Li Chang'an pushed her forward, and in just a few steps they reached the mirror.

Si Lili lowered her head in shame and indignation, but Li Chang'an lifted it up again, forcing her to look in the mirror...

Si Lili felt Li Chang'an holding her waist with both hands, pressing her firmly in front of the mirror so she couldn't move.

"Spread your legs apart, place your feet here, and use your waist strength."

"Yes...look up in the mirror...relax...relax..."

It's just a simple injection; the more nervous you are, the more it hurts.

Si Lili was both embarrassed and anxious. Damn royal children! They have too many tricks up their sleeves!

It's one thing to toy with women, but to make them watch themselves being toyed with in the mirror!

Soon after, Si Lili was immersed in wave after wave of excitement, completely forgetting what shyness was.

Li Yunrui's villa in the capital.

A nimble spy leaped into the courtyard in the darkness.

"My Lord, Fan Xian and Zong Zhui lost Si Lili and are almost back in the city."

The lady-in-waiting beside the princess had been waiting here for news.

If Fan Xian really wants to investigate Fang Daren, then follow the Eldest Princess's instructions and silence everyone in the General's mansion as a warning to Fan Xian.

The female official stood up, her expression resolute. "Take a dozen men and make everyone in Fang Daren's household hang themselves!"

"Be careful to keep your movements concealed and avoid running into the Shadow Guard's spies."

The military commander's residence.

Fang Daren has been restless ever since the stabbing incident on Niulan Street yesterday at noon.

He had already found out that the assassins used hard bows and siege crossbows, which were military equipment.

A month ago, the city patrol lost a batch of military equipment, but military equipment is not so easy to lose.

In reality, Fang Daren was just reselling the goods privately to make money.

After all, there are many nobles in the capital, so it's not a big deal to have some weapons for self-defense.

The batch sold a month ago was to Lin Gong of the Prime Minister's residence.

If the assassination succeeds and the weapons are removed from the scene, then everything will be fine.

But the assassination attempt failed, and the weapons fell into the hands of the Surveillance Bureau. He was truly in deep trouble!

Just as he was feeling extremely uneasy, the sounds of fighting suddenly erupted in the courtyard.

"Master, an assassin has broken into the manor..."

"General, the newcomer is extremely skilled in martial arts!"

Fang Daren went outside with a knife and found that several of his guards had been knocked unconscious!

"Who are you people? Why did you knock out my guards?!"

A masked man laughed loudly and said, "Knock them out so that your entire household can hang themselves!"

The entire family hanged themselves!

Upon hearing this conclusion, even Fang Daren, a military general, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. What a ruthless method!

The men in black were highly skilled in martial arts, and the guards were no match for them. Several men in black had already surrounded Fang Daren.

At this moment, more than a dozen skilled warriors clad in armor leaped into the courtyard.

"An assassin has been discovered at the military commander's residence. Kill him without mercy!"

Fang Daren recognized the armor; it belonged to the Shadow Guards of the Dragon Guard Manor, who had recently been searching for assassins in the city!

For Fang Daren, this was an unexpected stroke of good fortune.

The Shadow Guards were clearly more skilled in martial arts, and they killed most of the men in black in a short time.

Xing Yusen was the last to leap over the courtyard wall and quickly killed the men in black surrounding Fang Daren.

Upon seeing Xing Yusen, Fang Daren immediately knelt down in excitement and kowtowed three times.

"Old Xing, thank you so much for saving my whole family!"

Xing Yusen first helped him up, then ordered his men to throw all the bodies of the men in black into the yard.

"General Fang, this doesn't seem like an assassin from an enemy country; it seems like someone is seeking revenge on you."

At this moment, the Shadow Guards also searched the man in black and then reported back to Xing Yusen.

"Reporting to Commander Xing, these people have no evidence of their identity."

Xing Yusen was not surprised at all. "Take the two survivors back and interrogate them."

The underworld figures kept by the powerful and wealthy are very likely unaware of who is at the top, or that their family members are being held hostage.

Therefore, Xing Yusen probably won't be able to find out anything from the investigation.

After settling his family in, Fang Daren nervously approached Xing Yusen.

"Your Highness Prince Yong saved my entire family's lives. If you give me any orders, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Xing Yusen casually said, "It's good to be grateful, but this is just our duty. Don't overthink it."

Just then, Fan Xian and Zong Zhui rushed to the military commander's residence.

The two intended to sneak in quietly, but finding the door open, they simply walked in.

Upon seeing the corpses scattered on the ground and then Xing Yusen, Fan Xian immediately cupped his hands and said, "I haven't yet thanked Commander Xing for saving my life. I didn't expect to meet you so soon."

Xing Yusen recounted what had just happened, and Fan Xian's expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

"Commander Xing, General Fang, are you implying that someone is going to use the lives of dozens of people in this prefecture as a warning to me!"

Xing Yusen replied, "If we hadn't discovered the men in black, you would be facing dozens of corpses hanging from the rafters when you arrived here."

Fan Xian was both angry and alarmed. "General Fang, do you know who's behind this?"

Fang Daren, trembling with fear, suddenly changed his tune, "The weapons were stolen! I don't know anything about who's behind this!"

"Fan Xian, even if the Surveillance Bureau arrests and interrogates me with official documents, I will still say the same thing."

"At worst, I, Fang Daren, will commit suicide to save my family from being a burden."

A dignified third-rank military officer would rather commit suicide than reveal the mastermind behind it all!

Fan Xian looked at Fang Daren, who was unyielding to both soft and hard approaches, and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Xing Yusen wasn't in a hurry; Li Chang'an only asked him to save Fang Daren's family's lives.

"Gentlemen, the assassin has been killed. I, Xing, will take my leave!"

Li Chang'an believed that as long as Fang Daren was alive, Fan Xian, with his intelligence and the power behind him, should be able to extract information about Lin Gong.

Fan Xian learns the true culprit behind the assassination attempt, incurring the wrath of the Prime Minister's mansion, and gradually gives up his feelings for Lin Wan'er. This is another reason why Li Chang'an protects Fang Daren.

After Xing Yusen left, Fan Xian and Fang Daren were locked in a stalemate.

All the assassins on Niulan Street are dead, so the chances of Si Lili being captured are extremely slim.

Fang Daren, the only breakthrough point, would rather commit suicide than publicly identify the mastermind behind it all.

This means that punishing the masterminds behind the scenes through open judicial means is extremely difficult.

The Niulan Street assassination case will most likely be resolved in the direction led by Zhu Ge, with the Northern Qi orchestrating the assassination—a win-win situation for everyone!

But as the target of an assassination attempt, how could Fan Xian accept it? He also couldn't let his two bodyguard friends die in vain.

At this point, Fan Xian had no choice but to back down, first obtaining the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, and not forcing Fang Daren to testify publicly.

If the law can't punish them, they can always seek revenge in private!

He even kicked Zong Zhui out the door, saying to Fang Daren, "General Fang, do you know that you are doomed?"

"The assassination was carried out using weapons that had leaked from your possession. If there was no mastermind behind it, the Oversight Council will definitely determine that you colluded with the Northern Qi, which is a capital offense!"
