Film and Television Daqing: Starting with the Heaven-Covering Technique and the Devouring Demon Art

Upon hearing the news, the eldest princess of Guangxin Palace gave a sinister smile. Her eyes were as cold and sharp as a venomous snake, and her voice was as eerie and unsettling as a ghost. "The third prince just left the second prince's Qin Prince's mansion, and then the second prince was assassinated. Interesting!"

"Who do you think is so funny?"

The princess's gaze was as cold and sinister as a venomous snake, her eyes like a sharp sword that could pierce a person's heart.

Her voice was deep and resonant, as if it came from the underworld, sending chills down one's spine.

Then, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sly smile, as if she had already seen through everything.

Li Yunrui's trusted palace maid quickly shook her head:

"Your Highness, I do not know."

"However, news from the Imperial Study indicates that His Majesty was furious upon learning of this matter and ordered the Supervisory Council to thoroughly investigate and bring the mastermind behind it to justice," the palace maid replied truthfully.

The eldest princess smiled slightly and said in a relaxed tone:

"Let them investigate. The bigger the commotion, the better. That'll make things more interesting!"

"By the way, is the illegitimate son that the Vice Minister of Revenue is raising in Danzhou going to the capital in three days?" The Princess suddenly changed the subject and asked again.

"Yes, Your Highness, he will indeed arrive in the capital in three days." The palace maid nodded in confirmation.

"That's wonderful, he's finally coming. It wasn't in vain that I waited so long and made all this special arrangements for him." The princess's face showed a satisfied expression.

"The show we've been preparing for so long is finally about to begin."

Her words were meaningful, and a faint smile played on her lips.

However, this smile sent a chill down the spines of the surrounding palace maids, making them shudder.

The Prince's Mansion in the East Palace.

Upon learning of Li Chengtian's assassination attempt, the Crown Prince was so shocked his jaw nearly dropped. "Who was so eager to arrange the assassination of the Second Prince?!"

The Crown Prince's first suspect was naturally the third prince, but after thinking about it, he felt it was unlikely.

The third brother has always had a good relationship with the second brother, so it's unlikely he would send someone to assassinate him.

"Who on earth is it?"

"Who would want the second son dead?"

The prince sat at the table, deep in thought. Various possibilities kept flashing through his mind, but he still couldn't determine who the real murderer was.

He considered many suspects, but he did not include Emperor Qing and the Eldest Princess as suspects.

At this moment, inside the Third Prince's residence, upon learning of Li Chengtian's assassination attempt, the Third Prince was equally surprised.

He stared in disbelief, then silently picked up a grape from the table and put it in his mouth to chew.

"To assassinate a prince in Kyoto is truly a bold and insane act!"

The Third Prince couldn't help but sigh.

However, he realized that the situation had become increasingly complicated.

In the eyes of outsiders, he and the Crown Prince were undoubtedly the two most suspicious people.

"The situation is really troublesome for us right now." The Third Prince couldn't help but frown and shake his head helplessly.

“If this was not done by us, then it is very likely that the Crown Prince orchestrated it.”

Xie Bi'an speculated.

Xie Bi'an thought for a moment and continued:

After all, the second prince had always had conflicts with the crown prince.

And coincidentally, Your Highness entered the Second Prince's Qin Prince's residence at this crucial moment today.

This must have made the Crown Prince uneasy, fearing that His Highness and the Second Prince would join forces against him.

After all, it is already quite difficult for the Crown Prince to deal with Your Highness on his own. If the Second Prince's power is added, the Crown Prince's position as heir apparent will probably be difficult to maintain.

"Although your analysis makes a lot of sense, I feel that something is amiss. Moreover, the Crown Prince knows that the Second Prince is a Ninth-Rank cultivator. Even if he were incredibly stupid, he wouldn't send two Sixth-Rank cultivators to assassinate the Second Prince!"

Li Chengze frowned, his eyes flashing with doubt.

He knew full well that his elder brother was not as simple as he appeared, and he thought to himself, "There must be something we don't know about this..."

Although Li Chengqian usually gives the impression of being shallow in intelligence and reckless in his actions, that is just a facade he uses to deceive people.

Li Chengze knew better than anyone that the real Li Chengqian was not someone who would make mistakes easily.

Therefore, he decided to send people to investigate the matter thoroughly.

"Have someone investigate."

Li Chengze said firmly. He believed that as long as the investigation continued carefully, the truth behind the assassination would be revealed.

Xie Bi'an bowed slightly to indicate that he understood, then turned and left.

He will arrange for an investigation as soon as possible, leaving no stone unturned.

Li Chengze, on the other hand, fell into deep thought, silently considering the possible impact and consequences of this matter.

Chapter 10 Fan Xian Enters the Capital

Two hours later, Li Chengtian slowly put on his clothes and walked out of Si Lili's room.

His face was slightly flushed, and his eyes revealed a hint of satisfaction and pleasure.

He went outside and asked Li Tian:

"What happened before?"

His tone carried a subtle air of authority, making Li Tian dare not be negligent in the slightest.

Upon hearing Li Chengtian's question, Li Tian immediately bowed and said:

"Your Highness, there were two mosquitoes just now. I thought they were too noisy, so I swatted them dead, which is why it made a little noise."

Upon hearing Li Tian's words, Li Chengtian nodded slightly, indicating his satisfaction.

Then he said directly, "In that case, let's go back!"

After saying that, he turned and walked downstairs.

Li Tian followed respectfully behind, carefully protecting Li Chengtian's safety.

The pleasure boat slowly approached the shore, and Li Chengtian and Li Tian got off the boat, boarded a carriage, and headed towards the Prince of Qin's mansion.

The river flows gently, making a clear and pleasant sound.

Meanwhile, inside the room, Si Lili's fair-skinned body lay limp on the bed, like a lump of mud, lifeless.

Her silky smooth hair was spread out on the bed, disheveled.

Si Lili's face was filled with shame and anger, her cheeks flushed red, like ripe apples.

Her beautiful eyes burned with a fierce rage, as if they wanted to set the whole world ablaze.

"How dare he! This King of Qin is so disrespectful, he actually forced himself on me!"

Si Lili said through gritted teeth, her resentment towards the King of Qin growing ever deeper.

"And he doesn't know how to be gentle with women at all. She was a virgin, and he just ravaged her like that!"

Si Lili's voice carried a hint of sorrow, but more so, a sense of helplessness.

Thinking about everything that had just happened, Si Lili's pretty face flushed with a shy blush once again, as dazzling as the sunset on the horizon.

"Where are Mengxue and Mengyu?"

Why didn't those two women intervene when the King of Qin treated me this way?

Did they betray me too?

A hint of doubt flashed in Si Lili's eyes, but she quickly figured out the reason.

“Yes, King Qin broke through to the eighth rank several years ago. His strength is unfathomable. Even if Mengxue and Mengyu come in, they will not be a match for King Qin. On the contrary, they may bring disaster upon themselves.” Si Lili sighed inwardly.

"Now that the King of Qin has left, why haven't they come in yet?"

Si Lili frowned, feeling somewhat worried.

So, she endured the stinging pain in her lower body and slowly stood up, each movement appearing extremely difficult.

The tearing pain made Si Lili let out a soft groan, and her originally snow-white forehead was instantly covered with fine beads of sweat.

She bit her lip tightly, trying hard not to cry out.

Si Lili walked slowly around the flower boat, searching for Mengxue and Mengyu, but she couldn't find them anywhere.

Si Lili's face turned very gloomy, and an ominous premonition welled up in her heart.

Inside the Prince of Qin's residence, Li Chengtian returned to the main hall with a calm expression.

Whoosh! A dark figure flashed into view, and Li Di appeared, immediately kneeling on the ground and speaking respectfully:

"This servant is incompetent and has failed to find the mastermind behind the crime. I have only found out that the two assassins were servants who started working at Yuefeng Restaurant two years ago."

Upon hearing this news, Li Chengtian was not disappointed.
