Chapter 1416 Be careful of Emperor Qing!
"President Chen, thank you for your hard work!"

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. This is what I should do~"

"Okay, then let's set off as soon as possible. The judgment on the border cannot wait. If it weren't for the fact that His Majesty took a lot of people with him, I really don't want to trouble Dean Chen!"

After leaving the palace, Chen Pingping sat in a wheelchair and thought about what the Queen had just said. His brows were all furrowed, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Someone come!" He called for capable hands.

"Dean~"

"After I leave, I must send someone to protect Taiping Villa. I don't want any accidents to happen. Do you understand?"

"As ordered!"

Soon some powerful people in Kyoto learned that Chen Pingping had taken his men to the border, and that small action had slowly begun.

At this time, the garden of Taiping Villa was comparable to some large parks in later generations, with lush green flowers, plants and trees, trimmed neatly and beautifully.

The lotus flowers were in full bloom in the small lake, and from time to time two wild ducks would play in the water. After Chen Pingping left, there were only three people left. Of course, Wu Zhu, who was holding the iron bar, could be ignored because his presence had always been particularly low.

Ye Qingmei lay in the rocking chair and drank iced watermelon juice. For a female PhD in engineering, she could even build a steam locomotive, so making ice with saltpeter was simply child's play.

"Little brat, I'm so happy today!"

"Aunt, are you worried about something? You don't look that happy!" Li Chengru asked cautiously.

"What worries me? This day is so wonderful. Everything is provided for me. This is the life I dream of~"

"Uh...anyway, it doesn't look right with you!"

"Puchi!" After laughing, Ye Qingmei stretched out her jade hand and pinched Li Chengru's chubby face.

"What do you know, little brat? Don't come over here for the time being!"

"what?"

"What? This is for you~"

Looking at the small box thrown by Ye Qingmei, Li Chengru took it subconsciously, but his expression was somewhat confused. How could the tone of her voice imply entrusting an orphan to someone else? Did she know what was going to happen next?

It shouldn’t be!

"What are you standing there for? Here's your gift!"

"Aunt..."

"Okay, don't make it seem like we're parting forever. I just feel a little uncomfortable these days. Come back after you give birth. It's getting late and you should go back to the palace. Sister Ning is waiting for you to eat!"

Although he couldn't understand it in his heart and they had only been together for a few months, Li Chengru had to admit that Ye Qingmei was very nice to him.

The little face was all wrinkled, and after looking at her deeply, he stood up and walked out, but after a few steps he couldn't help it and turned back.

He said solemnly: "Aunt, I think you should be careful of father. His going to war this time is definitely not normal!"

Ye Qingmei was slightly stunned when she heard this. Could it be that she really guessed right?
He must have traveled from another world, otherwise how could a little kid say such words? The expression on his face became serious.

But he quickly shook his head and dismissed this ridiculous idea. According to the high-tech exploration of the temple, there is no such thing as rebirth in this world. All that matters is that the original memories are sealed up.

Looking at the serious-looking child in front of her, Ye Qingmei joked, "Sometimes I really suspect that you were reborn from another world like in those time-travel novels!"

"Ah... Auntie, what did you say?"

Li Chengru was a little nervous, thinking that he was exposed, but he did not dare to show it at all on the surface and pretended to be ignorant. Fortunately, he was an old fox after being reborn in so many worlds, otherwise he might have been exposed.

Ye Qingmei rubbed the horns on his head, and just when he was about to get impatient, she said, "Take good look at the gift I gave you when you get back, but remember not to let anyone else know!"

"Hmm~"

"This world is so boring. After so much effort, it still can't change. Even Pingping treats me as a slave forever. How great would it be if you were reborn, little brat? Then we could have a good chat~"

Looking at the lonely Ye Qingmei, Li Chengru pretended to be stupid on the surface, but he actually sighed in his heart, because he finally understood what was wrong in the first place.

Trying to persuade: "Auntie, you..." "Okay, let Xiao Zhuzhu take you on a plane again. If you want to fly again in the future, I'm afraid you can only go to Grandmaster by yourself~"

"Hey, I..."

Without waiting for Li Chengru to refuse, Wu Zhu, who was holding the iron bar without saying anything, suddenly took action. He grabbed his collar and flew into the air like before, and in an instant he was dozens of meters high.

Faintly one could hear Ye Qingmei's bell-like laughter from below, which seemed to contain a hint of gloating.

"Swoosh!" It usually takes at least half an hour to return to the palace, but this time it only took a quarter of an hour, and he landed steadily in the courtyard of Shufangzhai.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome~"

Wu Zhu still had no expression on his face as he spoke, without a trace of emotion in his words. He soon flew into the air again and disappeared.

"Young master, is this a god?" All the servants in the yard were terrified.

"God? I guess so!" Li Chengru muttered to himself.

"Ruer, come and eat!"

"Here I come~"

Things are different now than before. No one dares to look down on Shufangzhai anymore, so there are more and more dishes on the table, including four meat dishes, four vegetable dishes and two nutritious soups.

Normally Li Chengru would eat heartily, but today he was sitting here somewhat absent-mindedly, because if nothing unexpected happened, he would probably never see Ye Qingmei again.

After a quick meal, he was about to go back to his room to practice, but an unexpected guest arrived at Shufangzhai.

"Mr. Ning, the Empress has sent me here to pass on the Imperial decree, summoning His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to question him!"

Ning Cairen was startled and quickly walked over to take out the money he had saved.

"Father, please stay and have some tea. What on earth is it that the Madam wants the little boy to come over for?"

The eunuch weighed the purse in his hand, put it in his arms with a smile, but then acted in a businesslike manner.

"What is Lady Ning doing? A servant like me can actually guess what the Queen is thinking~"

"Father-in-law, you just..." Ning Cairen was so anxious that she was about to cry.

The eunuch shook off his dust and raised his nose to the sky: "Alright, talented lady, please don't embarrass a servant like me. Let the eldest prince go with me quickly. It will be bad if you make the queen wait too long!"

Looking at the eunuch's condescending attitude, Li Chengru looked at him deeply.

"Father-in-law, I'll go with you~"

"Well, please go ahead, Prince!"

Seeing him like this makes me so angry. He has been reborn as a prince, but he is still feeling aggrieved. Isn't it a waste of his trip?

"Pa!" He used his luck and true energy to slap the fat face hard.

"Ouch~" The eunuch who came to deliver the imperial edict was knocked to the ground in an instant, and everyone was stunned.

"Don't block the road!" Li Chengru swung his sleeves with great momentum.

"Grandpa, are you okay?" The people next to him quickly helped him up.

There was a clear slap mark on his face, and he pointed at Li Chengru's back: "You...you, I'm going to tell the Queen~"

"Casual!"

“Eunuch, please don’t…” Concubine Ning was so anxious that she tried to stop him, fearing that the Queen would blame her.

But Li Chengru was confident. If it had been in the past, the Queen might have had to take action, but now the conspiracy was being studied behind the scenes, so there would definitely be no complications.
