In the south of the Yangtze River far away from Kyoto, the spring has engulfed the willows in the West Lake, and the spring in Peng’s manor on the edge of the West Lake is even stronger. The green trees along the back of the house are stretching their waists happily, greedily sucking the moisture and moisture in the air. Sunshine warmer day by day.
However, the owner of this manor is not very happy, and he has no leisure time to stretch his waist. With a bitter face, he read all the courtyard newspapers and mansion newspapers sent by the capital these days, and even the lace newspaper run by the palace. Did not relax.
In the end, he whispered to Shi Chanli about the news from the Baoyuelou channel, and finally confirmed the development track of the matter, just as the information said.
The eldest princess was imprisoned in the other courtyard of the West City, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was ordered to go to the Nanzhao Kingdom thousands of miles away to observe the ceremony.
These are the two most direct results of the incident so far, so the young owner of the manor couldn't help but sigh and shake his head repeatedly.
Shi Chanli looked at him curiously, and asked: "Sir, although I don't know why Your Majesty is angry, after this incident, Her Highness the Eldest Princess will no longer be able to harm you in the south of the Yangtze River, isn't it a great thing? Why are you still so depressed?"
Fan Xian squinted at him, swallowed his words after a long while, waved his hand a little bored, and said, "Let's talk, you'd better go back to Suzhou and watch Baoyue Tower."
Shi Chanli left in a daze, and Wang Qinian, who knew the inside story of the matter, stepped in. He stood quietly behind Fan Xian, watching the adults review all the information from the capital again, without saying a word.
Because he knew why Fan Xian was troubled.
"I worked so hard to do such a round, but this is the result in the end." Fan Xian said helplessly, "I took a big enough risk this time, but in the end... the woman survived, why on earth is this? "
Wang Qinian glanced at him from the sidelines, thinking... The eldest princess is the adult's mother-in-law after all, so these words are a bit cold-blooded.
The only one who could stand between the eldest princess and the emperor and suppress the bomb that Fan Xian detonated with countless efforts was of course only the old man who had been in the deep palace for a long time, but Fan Xian still had many puzzles about the process of this matter. and doubt.
"The kindness of a woman."
He frowned and said.
This sentence is not only a criticism of the emperor's final resignation, but also a certain aspect of his doubts. Why did the eldest princess get rid of it so easily by the emperor's father without even making a decent counterattack? Even if he knew that the actions outside the palace were all arranged by Mrs. Chen himself, but based on his understanding of his mother-in-law... she was so quietly caught without a fight, it really didn't fit that crazy name.
"I told you that the Eldest Princess likes Your Majesty." Fan Xian said flatly, "It's just that I didn't expect to be so obsessed with it. Your Majesty didn't really do anything, and she didn't even take the initiative until she wanted to kill her." Resistance... What kind of world is this?"
The expression on Wang Qinian's face next to him was very strange, and he couldn't help being weird. As a courtier of the Qing Kingdom, no matter how arrogant and rebellious he was, no one would dare to say such rebellious words in his own courtyard.
Fan Xian said it, and said it in front of him, forcing him to listen to it, and it was obvious that this was not the first time this kind of topic was mentioned.
Wang Qinian coughed sadly. He knew that his life, death, wealth and honor had long been closely linked with Mr. Fan, and Mr. Fan was not worried that he would betray him at all, that's why he acted so presumptuously in front of him. say.
Fan Xian and Wang Qinian originally planned to expose the royal scandal and force His Majesty to act. The matter was so serious that the other members of the Qi Nian team didn't get any news at all, and as for Yan Bingyun, he was completely kept in the dark.
Fortunately, Jiangnan is far away from the capital, and Fan Xian and Wang Qinian's attack did not break out until two months later. Even the gods probably would not have guessed that this matter was related to the two of them.
Unless Hong Zhu suddenly had the courage to commit suicide and kill his friends.
"There are a few things worth noting in the courtyard newspaper." Although what he did was disobedience, Wang Qinian still couldn't get used to talking about disobedience, so he pointed to a few places in the courtyard newspaper with some pain, changed the subject forcibly, and reminded : "The arson case in the Huichun Hall, the fall of the clan's relatives, and the sudden death of the imperial physician...these three things are strange."
"Oh?" Fan Xian glanced back at him. The courtyard newspaper did not connect these three things, and the palace would not allow anyone interested to see the connection. It's clear, of course I know what the root cause of these things is, "Don't you think it's the eldest princess and prince who killed people to silence her?"
"It's just medicine, and medicine is not any evidence at all." Wang Qinian's forehead was deeply wrinkled, "His Royal Highness the Princess and the Crown Prince are not stupid, so why would they do such stupid things during the investigation in the palace?"
"This is also what I find strange. We are keeping these alive because we are going to let His Majesty go for trial." Fan Xian was thoughtful, "But obviously His Majesty did not interrogate, how could he be able to conclude that matter?"
"Also." Pointing at the paper, he said earnestly: "The palace didn't find out, so the eldest princess should not admit to being filthy... Who actually did this Sanchun case?"
Fan Xian's brows furrowed. Reflecting afterwards, it was indeed better to be dead than alive in these three places. There were indeed some problems with his original assumptions in this link... But now what he was thinking about was who would help make this situation better. Made an out-and-out dead end, leaving His Majesty without trial, and only made the final decision based on his own suspicion
When they were still in the capital, he and Wang Qinian vaguely sensed that a force seemed to be doing something similar to their own, but they were afraid to startle the snake at that time, so they didn't dare to investigate carefully.
"It should be someone else." Wang Qinian sighed.
Fan Xian also sighed, shook his head and said, "There is no one else except us."
…
…
"His Royal Highness has gone to Nanzhao..." There was no peace in the study for too long, Fan Xian said the question that was lingering in his mind, "According to the time, it should have passed Yingzhou by this time, and continued to go south, your majesty Why is this arrangement? The courtiers in the court must still be guessing, and they still don’t understand why the crown prince is involved in the matter of the eldest princess, but you and I must know that His Majesty will never tolerate a son who shames the royal family and inherits the crown prince. Go to Nanzhao to observe the ceremony... Can Chengqian come back?"
Wang Qinian remained silent, not daring to answer this question.
Fan Xian glanced at him with a smile, and said, "You and I have done countless things to connect the nine clans, so why not discuss it."
Wang Qinian smiled wryly, knowing that the lord reminded himself again, how shameless his intentions were, he shook his head and said, "I think there should be nothing wrong with this journey. Even if His Majesty already has the intention to waste the reserve, it is impossible to choose to throw it out at this time."
"It makes sense." Fan Xian patted the table lightly, "Just like me, what our Majesty wants is the energy of being wise and powerful. Fan Er, who is famous in history, has tried every means to make this piece If the matter is suppressed, I absolutely don't want to be talked about. This time the crown prince went to Nanzhao, one is to drive him out of the capital, and slowly plan to abolish the reserve, and the other is... "
He frowned, and suddenly thought of the poisonous mist in Nanzhao. Seven or eight years ago, when Yan Xiaoyi led his troops to fight south, the casualties of soldiers were basically caused by this scourge.
"The miasma has invaded the body, the prince is gradually becoming weak..." Wang Qinian woke up suddenly after saying these words, and his courage to speak became more and more bold.
Fan Xian continued with a wry smile: "If you and I really think so, Your Majesty... you really are amazing."
A complex expression flashed in his eyes, but Wang Qinian didn't notice it.
"Unfortunately, I didn't get all the merits." Fan Xian sighed, "Why did you say the eldest princess didn't die?"
This is the second time today that he has expressed his blatant regret. Wang Qinian felt a little weird. The eldest princess has lost power. After all, the lord is the son-in-law of the other party. No matter in terms of human relations, he should not have said such a thing.
Wang Qinian didn't know that since Fan Xian entered the capital, he subconsciously feared the Eldest Princess, because against other people, he could use intrigue and power tactics to compete, but it was difficult for Fan Xian to guess the other party when he was dealing with a powerful person whose madness was praised by the world. What a crazy reaction.
This uncertainty gave Fan Xian a headache.
Especially with the changes in the imperial palace in the capital, Fan Xian still couldn't believe the ending—the eldest princess was dying, why didn't her forces make a final counterattack? What about the boss of the military? What about Yan Xiaoyi's attitude? If things happened too quickly, the military didn't have time to react... But what about Ye Liuyun
Fan Xian knew better than anyone else that Ye Liuyun's enshrined status in the Junshan Society, in Suzhou City, was almost lost after being frightened by the sword that broke the building. Even though the Junshan Society was a loose organization, the eldest princess must It won't be as vulnerable as it seems now.
He had previously analyzed with Wang Qinian the eldest princess's crazy and abnormal love for the emperor, but that was just a rhetoric used by Fan Xian to convince himself, he didn't believe it.
It's just that there are some things in this world, perhaps the things that people don't believe, that are the real reason.
Fan Xian sighed and sighed at the desk, and after Wang Qinian left, he still couldn't stop hissing and sighing. Wang Qinian closed the door and subconsciously shook his head, thinking that although the eldest princess is not dead, since then, no one in the court will be a match for Fan Tisi, so the result is already very good, why does the lord Tisi sigh
In fact, the reason is very simple - Fan Xian is not a loyal minister, let alone a pure minister. What he conceived was to watch tigers and cranes fight in the south of the Yangtze River, and each was injured.
He wanted the eldest princess to fall, but he would not believe the emperor Lao Tzu. What he sighed was that the emperor's methods seemed to be faster and more powerful than he imagined. The emperor's power did not suffer the slightest loss.
—————————
Fan Xian sat alone in the study, silently analyzing everything that happened in the capital. He vaguely felt that the eldest princess might be obstinately waiting for the emperor's wrath because of crazy feelings, but the emperor obviously had reservations, yes Family? Fan Xian didn't believe this.
He opened the letters under the courtyard newspaper, read it for the second time, pondered for a moment, and then began to write a reply. The letter came from home in Jingdu, one from my father and one from Wan'er, mainly talking about Sisi and the child in her womb, it should be safe and there is no need to worry too much.
However, Wan'er's letter naturally mentioned the matter of the eldest princess. Although she didn't say anything explicitly, it seemed that she wanted Fan Xian to say something in the palace.
Fan Xian sighed in distress again. He knew his wife was a rare and intelligent person, and of course he knew how irreconcilable behind everything that was covered up, but she still wrote to let him speak. There is always a mother-daughter relationship.
This is a very natural thing. The emperor is cold-blooded, and Fan Xian is cold-blooded. It does not mean that people in this world are cold-blooded. People in the royal family are all cold-blooded animals.
Fan Xian wrote a reply letter seriously, of course he wanted to express his shock and doubts to his father, and his reply to Wan'er was mainly to comfort, and at the same time he greeted that girl Sisi.
Then he began to write a memorial, a secret memorial to the emperor. Although he did not directly intercede for the eldest princess in the memorial, he also vaguely expressed his concern as a son of man. After he finished writing, he checked it several times carefully to confirm that this attitude would neither make the emperor think he was hypocritical nor make the emperor angry, so he sealed it with wax and asked his subordinates to send it by the first-class postal route.
After all this was done, Fan Xian felt a little relieved. Although he had been free and easy in the south of the Yangtze River for the past few months, he had actually kept his eyes on the capital, and the mental pressure was enormous.
Although the matter was inconsistent, it was proceeding basically according to his ideas. He finally relaxed a little, opened the drawer of the secret room, took out the Qiye and the process flow of the three workshops of the inner library that he had copied for more than a year, and was in a daze. .
Although this technological process is not all in the internal library, Fan Xian knows that if this thing is really spread to Northern Qi, it will really cause terrible consequences.
His eyes narrowed, and he thought to himself that although he and Chen Pingping subconsciously joined hands this time to play the emperor, but after all, they only played with the details. As for the big picture, maybe the emperor is playing with him.
"Wang Shisanlang has also been idle for a long time."
Fan Xian thought so, then got up, packed everything, and left the manor by the West Lake.
