In the novel "Joy of Life," the protagonist wakes up at Li Chengze's residence.

The tense situation in Kyoto Prefecture did not last long, as Eunuch Hou, who was by Emperor Qing's side, personally came to resolve the predicament with the Emperor's imperial edict.

Both princes were surprised by Emperor Qing's appearance, especially the crown prince, who now even felt a little uneasy.

It seems that His Majesty values ​​Fan Xian quite a bit.

Meanwhile, Li Chengze also took advantage of the opportunity to get closer to Fan Xian.

Seeing the classic scene of "giving a thumbs up" reappear in the play, Tao Jingyang knew that this scene had come to an end.

At least at this stage, Li Chengze and Fan Xian are not enemies.

Tao Jingyang squeezed forward, positioning himself right in the middle of the gate of the Kyoto Prefecture.

To make sure Fan Xian could spot her at a glance later. Her light blue outfit, however, was quite eye-catching.

Inside Kyoto Prefecture, Fan Xian's gaze followed Li Chengze and naturally came to see Tao Jingyang walking with him.

In Fan Xian's view, the two clearly knew each other.

Looking at the woman's face, he found that she was also looking at him, and even seemed to smile at him.

Their eyes met, and for some reason he felt that this woman resembled the boy from last night.

Having achieved his goal of making a name for himself, Tao Jingyang, who had been "scheming" all along, turned around and went back with Li Chengze.

Just before leaving, he stretched out his hand, waved it towards the sky, and made a farewell gesture.

This completely confirmed his identity with Fan Xian.

Upon seeing this, Fan Xian knew who the person was. He lowered his eyes and pondered, "Did she... specifically ask the Second Prince to help me?"

But how could she know who I am? He thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

However, Fan Xian is still young and hasn't experienced much, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

In any case, Teng Zijing's wife and children are safe, and Teng Zijing himself can live in the sunlight.

Everything is fine, why think so much?

Inside the carriage.

Xie Bi'an reported the situation to Li Chengze, who crossed his arms in front of his chest as he listened.

Her lips were pressed tightly together, and it was unclear what she was angry about.

Li Chengze now strongly suspects that this woman definitely knows Fan Xian.

As for Fan Xian, his marriage involves the finances of the Imperial Treasury. So the occurrence of these major and minor matters is understandable.

He simply couldn't understand why Tao Jingyang was here.

As he thought about it, his face grew increasingly somber.

[His Highness doesn't look too good, I'd better say less.] Xie Bi'an thought to himself quietly.

The carriage remained silent the entire way.

Meanwhile, Wang Qinian also sent the news of a strange woman appearing beside Li Chengze to the Overwatch Council via carrier pigeon.

Chen Pingping sat in his wheelchair, staring at the letter, speechless for a long time.

He couldn't figure out where this woman came from, nor could he understand her. Why was she by Li Chengze's side, and why did she seem to know Fan Xian?

Could it be that Fan Xian has already developed some kind of relationship with the Second Prince?

A fog seemed to shroud him, making it impossible for him to tell whether the person was an enemy or a friend.

"His Majesty must already know about this."

The person in the wheelchair chuckled softly and murmured, "What will His Majesty think?"

Then she picked up the watering can and carefully tended to the blooming flowers.

Tao Jingyang wasn't idle either; he had already been carefully thinking about the lines he was going to say on the way back to the mansion.

In general, the lines are ready, the stage is set up, and the lighting technicians are in place.

All that's left is for the actors to be ready.
