Chapter 60 So scary, so scary

Li Fu didn't look at Chu Ran, but looked in the direction where Fu'er had just walked in. "Are you following her?"

"I didn't..." Chu Ran subconsciously wanted to lie, but stopped halfway through the words. After hesitating, Chu Ran nodded again and said "hmm" in acknowledgement.

The moment Chu Ran lied, Li Fu's face darkened visibly, but as soon as Chu Ran changed his words, Li Fu's expression changed, becoming gentle and kind, which made Chu Ran's heart beat fast.

He had never realized before that Li Fu was so terrifying.

Chu Ran felt more and more clearly that Li Fu had changed, not just in appearance. In the past, no matter what Li Fu did, Chu Ran would not be afraid, but now, a look from Li Fu could make Chu Ran tremble with fear.

He couldn't help but think of the description of Li Fu in the original text. He thought, this is what a villain boss should look like.

In fact, he had noticed that Li Fu was different from other people since Li Fu was a child, but at that time they were close and had a good relationship, so he could ignore Li Fu's cunning, Li Fu's ruthlessness, and Li Fu's decisiveness. But now... Chu Ran can no longer pretend not to see it.

"Come with me." Li Fu said.

Although he didn't know why Li Fu called him over, Chu Ran still followed him obediently.

Li Fu led him up the rockery, found a suitable position, and stopped.

Chu Ran blinked and looked at Li Fu in confusion.

Li Fu saw that he was staring at him, and he took a deep breath and said, "Look down."

Down there? What's down there?

Oh, there's someone down there.

Chu Ran saw the palace maid Fu'er, and there was a man standing next to Fu'er. Is this... Li Gaoyou?

What are they doing?

It was too far away, and I couldn't see clearly, let alone hear it.

"That palace maid had an affair with Li Gaoyou." Li Fu said lightly.

ah?

Chu Ran opened his mouth and turned his head away in disbelief.

Li Fu placed his palm on the back of Chu Ran's head and pushed his face back to face forward.

"Look to your left, ahead, and further."

So Chu Ran obediently looked into the distance.

This time, Chu Ran was even more speechless, because in the place Li Fu pointed out, there was actually someone eavesdropping like the two of them!

Who is he?

Why did you eavesdrop on the conversation between Li Gaoyou and palace maid Bok-er?

"Who do you think is the eavesdropper?" Li Fu leaned forward with his lips almost touching Chu Ran's ear.

Chu Ran felt uncomfortable with the hot air Li Fu exhaled. He could not help but move, pulling his ears away from Li Fu, and said honestly, "How would I know?"

Li Fu straightened up, looked at Chu Ran's ears which were gradually turning red, and smiled as if he was in a good mood.

Chu Ran felt that his laughter was quite strange.

"I guess this person is related to Li Jinheng."

Alarm bells suddenly rang in Chu Ran's mind.

What does it mean?

Could it be that at this time, Li Jinheng had already started planning to reach that position?

Although Li Jinheng was also born a prince, he was driven to his fiefdom by Emperor Chengwen very early, so few people in the court took him seriously.

Chu Ran is naturally the same.

But Li Fu's words suddenly made Chu Ran sober. If Li Jinheng really wanted to seize the throne, then his biggest opponents now would be the third prince Li Gaoyou and the fifth prince Li Dingning.

So, what Li Fu meant was that Li Jinheng was already planning to take action against Li Gaoyou?

But what exactly does Li Jinheng plan to do?

The woman betrothed to Li Gaoyou was Shen Jingyi, the daughter of the then Minister of the Central Secretariat Shen Minghan. The position of Minister of the Central Secretariat was equivalent to the prime minister, in charge of all civil and military officials in the court. Shen Minghan had only one daughter, Shen Jingyi. If Shen Jingyi married Li Gaoyou, it would be tantamount to tying Li Gaoyou and the Minister of the Central Secretariat together.

Li Jinheng probably doesn't want to see this happen, so, could his purpose be to destroy the marriage between the two families?

Before Li Gaoyou got married, he had an affair with a palace maid, which might indeed affect the marriage between the two families, but... if he had cut off contact with the palace maid in time and resolved the matter before the two got married, then this would not be a big problem.

"Could it be..."

Chu Ran suddenly thought of a possibility and couldn't help but speak out.

"What is it?"

Li Fu stood behind him and asked.

Chu Ran almost forgot that Li Fu was standing behind him. He smiled and said, "Nothing. Ah, it's so windy up here, Prince, aren't you cold standing up there? Or should we go down?"

Chu Ran just wanted to be a salted fish. How could a little eunuch like him get involved in something like usurping the throne?

He can't blend in, and doesn't want to blend in, so the best way is to stay away from it and know nothing. Even if he knows, he will pretend not to know.

The two of them came down from the rockery, one in front and one behind.

After coming down, Chu Ran wanted to take the opportunity to slip away. He said he had something else to do and wanted to run, but before he could take two steps forward, Li Fu behind him grabbed him by the collar.

Chu Ran had a bitter face and was forced to be dragged back by Li Fu.

"Why are you running so fast? Can I eat you?"

Chu Ran thought, of course he couldn't eat him, but he really didn't want to get involved in these things!

He hasn't lived enough!

"What exactly did you want to say just now?" Li Fu asked.

"Nothing, really nothing." Chu Ran explained in panic.

"Are you sure there's nothing?"

"Yes, yes. I am absolutely sure."

"Oh."

Li Fu let go of Chu Ran, and Chu Ran was about to slip away again, but Li Fu said quietly from behind him: "Chu Ran, don't lie to me, otherwise, you know the consequences."

Chu Ran couldn't help but shudder.

Oh my god, why is Li Fu so scary now?

Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend, run away quickly, run away quickly.

These are all fights among the princes. Chu Ran feels that it has nothing to do with him, at least not for now. He just needs to do his own thing, eat well, sleep well, and live his life well.
