The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 507 Joy of Life 63

"Fan Jian, the Earl of Sinan, as a father, failed to properly educate his son, allowing him to commit violence and failing to restrain his evil deeds, which led to the situation escalating. Therefore, Fan Jian is stripped of his title and official position, and is ordered to reflect on his actions behind closed doors as a form of punishment."

Prince Jing's heir, Li Hongcheng, as a member of the imperial family, was aware of this matter but failed to report it, which violated the duty of a subject. After the Eight Deliberations, he was ordered to be confined for ninety days to reflect on his mistakes as a form of punishment.

As for the Third Prince Li Chengping, he is young and ignorant, and his mind is not yet settled. Unfortunately, he was misled by Fan Sizhe and went astray. Considering his young age, he was given a lenient punishment and ordered to reflect on his mistakes in the palace. He will be taught by a special person, and it is hoped that he will realize his mistake and return to the right path as soon as possible.

Upon hearing of this, Consort Yi, the birth mother of the Third Prince, dressed in plain clothes, removed her hairpins and begged for forgiveness in front of Xingqing Palace. She blamed herself for failing to raise her son properly and pleaded to be demoted to atone for her mistakes.

Emperor Qing made it clear that this matter had nothing to do with her, but Consort Yi was determined, so Emperor Qing had no choice but to grant her request, strip her of her title, and demote her to the rank of Talented Lady.

In addition, other individuals involved in the Baoyuelou case were also punished to varying degrees.

......"

Xie Bi'an quickly scanned the note in his hand, and after confirming that nothing was missing, he carefully put the note away.

"His Majesty stripped Fan Jian of his title and dismissed him from his post, yet he won't let him leave the capital. I'm sure there will be further actions. Send someone to keep an eye on him." Li Chengze spoke calmly, revealing a composure that he had expected this all along, as if Emperor Qing's decision was already within his expectations.

His gaze slowly moved downwards, finally settling on the large fish tank in front of him.

Inside the large white porcelain jar, colorful fish swam leisurely in the water.

He gently sprinkled a small dish of fish food with a silver spoon, and the fish instantly stirred, scrambling for the food, splashing water everywhere in a lively scene.

Fan Wujiu was stroking his newly acquired treasured sword, his eyes filled with excitement.

His original sword was broken during the battle with the temple messenger, and this new sword was specially made for him by Li Chengze using carefully selected top-quality materials.

He was very pleased with the knife and had been inseparable from it ever since he received it, even relegating his daily reading books to a secondary position.

Upon hearing his lord's order, Fan Wujiu immediately suppressed his excitement, hung the knife at his waist, and cautiously spoke:

"Your Highness, the person we arranged to deliver the message to the Fan family last time has already been discovered by His Majesty. Should we lay low for a while? Otherwise, if His Majesty discovers our actions, wouldn't that cause unnecessary trouble?"

"I want His Majesty to know."

Li Chengze smiled dismissively, placed the fish food on a small table to the side, and turned to sit on the screen couch.

A table was placed on the tatami mat, on which were not only tea and pastries, but also a bunch of purple grapes, each one plump and round, with glistening water droplets hanging on them, looking extremely tempting.

Li Chengze casually picked up a grape and put it in his mouth. The sweet juice instantly spread in his mouth, causing him to involuntarily squint his eyes.

He bent one leg, leaned comfortably against the pillow behind him, and slowly began to speak:

“Our Emperor is extremely suspicious. If I have no flaws on my side, it will attract his special attention, which would be truly troublesome. So I might as well give him a few handles to use against me, so that he can feel more at ease.”

Recently, all factions in the court have suffered losses to varying degrees, while he has only lost a few soldiers with little consequence. If he doesn't expose some weaknesses in time, he will likely arouse suspicion from other factions, who will realize that he is the one stirring up trouble behind the scenes.

So even though he can do a lot with his telekinesis, he still tries to have his subordinates do it, in order to expose them and reduce the suspicion of others.

In this way, he can manipulate the situation more freely and achieve his goals.

Seeing that he understood the situation, Fan Wujiu stopped trying to persuade him and turned to make arrangements.

Xie Bi'an, seeing that Li Chengze had no further instructions, found a stool in the room, sat down, took out a soft towel, and quietly began to wipe his sword.

The room fell silent for a moment, and after an unknown amount of time, a long sigh suddenly broke the tranquility.

"Hey!"

The sigh contained complex emotions, causing Xie Bi'an to pause involuntarily as he wiped his sword. He shifted his gaze from the blade to the person reclining on the couch and asked, "Is something on your mind, Your Highness?"

Li Chengze looked puzzled, gently rubbing his temples, seemingly very confused about something.

He turned to look at Xie Bi'an, his tone tinged with helplessness: "There are some things I can't figure out."

"what's up?"

"woman."

“…Uh.” Xie Bi’an didn’t expect him to bring up this topic, and immediately scratched his head, not knowing how to respond.

But then I thought about it again and it seemed quite normal.

His Majesty doesn't seem to care much about the marriages of his sons.

The eldest prince led troops to expand the border sixteen years ago, and now he is almost twenty or thirty years old, but His Majesty has no intention of bestowing a marriage upon him.

Their prince is already over twenty years old, and he doesn't even have anyone to serve him, let alone get married and have children.

Even the Crown Prince, who is now eighteen years old, still hasn't decided on a Crown Princess.

Xie Bi'an, thinking he had grasped his lord's intentions, leaned closer to Li Chengze mysteriously and whispered, "Your Highness, would you like me to select a few suitable women for you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Chengze interrupted him with a chilling glare:

"Stop thinking about it. What I'm thinking isn't the same as what you're thinking."
