Zhuang Mohan smiled slightly and said: "I framed him today, and I really gambled on the old man's seventy years of innocence. Once I lose the bet, I will naturally bear the result willingly. The old man just doesn't understand that that Mr. Fan is actually a poet." A fairy-like person, if the princess had made it clear to the ministers earlier, I would definitely not bring myself to be humiliated."
The eldest princess sighed and said, "I never thought that besides the name of the poem, the child would have such a crazy mind."
Zhuang Mohan closed his eyes, with a look of regret on his face, and after a long while he said leisurely: "I regret nothing else, I just lament that I have been sober for half my life, and when I am old, I have done such ugly things. If Mr. Fan Instead of writing all three hundred poems in the world in one night, maybe the whole world will really think that Mr. Fan is a shameless plagiarist because of what this old man said."
The old man opened his eyes, his eyes were calm and clear, and he smiled and said, "That's fine."
"Alright?" The eldest princess slid her bare feet gently on the edge of the soft couch, bit her sandalwood lips, and said bitterly: "Master Zhuang, my mother has always respected your talents and virtues, that's why I invited you to live in the palace. I agree. Your matter has been settled, what about the matter you promised me? Could it be that the agreement between the two countries has been signed, and your brother will be welcomed back to the country soon, so Fan Xian can keep his reputation. Can you feel at ease?"
Zhuang Mohan said with a smile: "It's wrong to be wrong, and this old man is because of family affection. That's why he fell into the favor of the eldest princess, so he came to Qingguo. My brother has killed countless people for half his life. If the eldest princess wants to go back on his word, old man There is no other way, but after returning to Northern Qi, pray for him, and hope that he can live more comfortably in the prison of your country's Overwatch Council."
The eldest princess smiled and was speechless: "I sold Yan Bingyun to your student emperor. Only in this way can you exchange Xiao En back to Beiqi. This transaction is not between you and me, but between your emperor and me." It's just that I have fulfilled the contract, but you haven't done what you promised me. Tonight, Your Majesty, if you don't pretend to vomit blood and admit defeat, but insist that Fan Xian's poem was copied, the matter is still unknown. So... Master Zhuang, after you return to China, remember to send a message to your emperor's students, that you Northern Qi owe me a favor from Guangxin Palace."
Zhuang Mohan said with a smile: "Mr. Fan has great talent, and his poetic power is beyond the reach of human beings. If you think about it, the eldest princess can guess that this Mr. Fan is probably a Tianmai who has not appeared in the world for a long time. I am very curious, Qing Why is there a Tianmai person in the country who is not in a hurry to protect, but wants to get rid of it quickly? What's more, even if Mr. Fan is accused of plagiarism, what kind of harm will it cause him?"
The eldest princess said indifferently: "I never believe in the nonsense of any Tianmai person. Zhuang, everyone is familiar with the scriptures, and should know the words of a sage. If Fan Xian is a Tianmai person, if his ability is only reciting poems to compose these little ways Above all, what good is it for the Qing court. As for why I deal with him, it has nothing to do with the old man."
Zhuang Mohan gambled decades of his time and his supreme status in the eyes of scholars all over the world to trample Fan Xian under his feet. It turned out that it was all entrusted by the eldest princess. It's just that he didn't know about the complicated relationship in the Qing Kingdom's officialdom, nor did he know about the relationship between the eldest princess and Fan Xian who would become mother-in-law and son-in-law in the near future.
But Fan Xian knew why the eldest princess wanted to deal with him.
He half-kneeled on the eaves of the roof of the hall, his three fingers standing on the tiles were a little cold, looking at the charming princess in her early thirties under Mingwa, his eyes gradually became colder. When Guo Baokun spoke in the palace, Fan Xian knew that the nobles in the palace teamed up with this Zhuang Mohan to drive him out of the capital.
The matter of plagiarism seems to be a trivial matter, but it involves the so-called "character". I think if the palace is not crazy about poetry and shocks the whole palace, everyone will believe what Zhuang Mohan said. If I become a literary thief, although I won't be punished, I can discuss my official career, but my marriage with Wan'er may fall through - what the Empress Dowager dislikes the most, this eldest princess must know better than myself.
What made Fan Xian even more chilling was that Xiao En, the former chief spy of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the secret agreement between the two countries, turned out to be Zhuang Mohan's elder brother! In order to persuade Zhuang Mohan to come to Qing to suppress her, the eldest princess did not hesitate to sell Yan Bingyun, the head of Qing's secret agent stationed in Northern Qi and the son of the minister of the court, to the enemy country.
She is too courageous! Acting so insidiously, how could the emperor in the palace tolerate his own sister doing such things that hurt the state!
The summer night breeze blew over the eaves of Guangxin Palace, calming Fan Xian, who was frowning and peeping, a little calmer. He knew that even if he heard these secrets, he would not be able to use this matter to threaten the other party. She is the emperor's younger sister, and the empress dowager's most beloved youngest daughter. These two identities alone are enough for her to run amok in this Qing country, selling courtiers for personal gain.
Fan Xian looked at the woman's black hair on the couch below, and felt sick for no reason.
This woman is indeed not only crazy, but also perverted.
By this time, Fan Xian seemed to have seen clearly the whole face of the whole conspiracy. The agreement between the eldest princess and the Northern Qi emperor was to sell Yan Bingyun, the spy chief of the Overwatch Council who had been lurking in Northern Qi for four years, in exchange for Xiao En and Si Lili. Zhuang Mohan, a famous generation master in the world, came to the capital of Qing Kingdom, and used his mouth to destroy himself. At the same time, this matter can also be used to teach a lesson to the Overwatch Council system that has never listened to the eldest princess' orders.
It's just that she doesn't know what else is included in the agreement between her and the Northern Qi emperor. Fan Xian guessed that what the eldest princess will get from selling Qing Guo's secret spy leader in Northern Qi must be more than just these things. something scarier.
—Does the emperor know what his own sister is doing
He touched the hard key at his waist, two cold lights flashed in his eyes, he worked out a way to deal with it, adjusted his breathing in the night wind on the top of the temple, and then started to retreat. The palace is too dangerous, and I don't know how long my good luck can last.
As soon as he got off the pillar, he found two people walking slowly towards the end of the corridor holding palace lanterns. Fan Xian's heart trembled, and he carefully hid his body in the shadow of the pillar. Move your feet, keeping your body and shadow in the same area.
He secretly prayed that this maid would be like the maid who passed by before, and would not find him.
The maid had already passed the big pillar, and Fan Xian had moved to the other side of the pillar. Suddenly the maid stopped. The maid seemed to have some status in the Guangxin Palace. She whispered something to the little girl following her. The little girl responded sweetly and left. A middle-aged court lady stood and waited.
The distance between her and Fan Xian was only a wooden pillar.
Fan Xian carefully adjusted his breathing with zhenqi, gradually becoming consistent with the breathing of the maid behind the pillar. At the same time, he heard with some peace of mind that the maid's breathing did not change, presumably it was just a coincidence that she stopped here, rather than discovering herself.
There is still a wooden pillar between the two.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Fan Xianlu's eyes outside the black cloth, and his whole body was forcibly twisted a few inches to the left. This innate sense of danger allowed him to escape for a while. Rob!
At the original position of his body, a sharp sword tip pierced the wooden pillar silently!
Because the wooden pillar was too big, the tip of the sword only protruded a little bit, and he told Fan Xian cutely and fiercely that if he hadn't twisted that way before, the tip of the sword should be in his waist bone at this time.
Fan Xian walked around the long pillar coldly, like a loach, locked his hands with incomparable precision, and pinched the middle-aged court lady's left forearm. His reaction was different from that of ordinary warriors, and he didn't care about the opponent's drawing of his sword. Actions.
The effect was really good. The court lady was unable to sneak attack. She was afraid that the assassin would prevent her from drawing her sword, so all her true energy was concentrated on her right arm, and the defense of her left arm seemed much weaker.
After the sound of a piece of paper being torn, the maid drew out the long sword from the wooden pillar, and opened her mouth to scream!
Fan Xian frowned, and the domineering true energy in his body poured into the opponent's left arm with incomparable force! This court lady actually has the strength of the seventh rank, but she has never encountered such a strange true energy in the assassin's body. There is a tingling pain in the meridian, like countless knives are scraping the soft tube wall, this kind of pain, let this The maid's chest felt tight, she actually swallowed the warning sound, and a strange soft sound came out of her throat.
Fan Xian recognized at a glance that this maid was the one who welcomed him into the Guangxin Palace, with extremely long eyebrows and very distinctive features.
The palace lady's eyebrows trembled violently, and she summoned up her true qi to fight him hard, but she didn't know that the other party's hand was holding her arm, and suddenly her true qi emptied, causing all the true qi she had transported out of her body to fall into the empty space. In a trance, really sad. The whole body, also because of this sudden imbalance, the right side of the body seemed to be slightly stagnant.
At this fleeting moment, her right neck felt slightly numb, and immediately her whole body felt a little stiff.
Fan Xian frowned, and withdrew his two fingers from her neck. Knowing that the poison on the needle could not really seal the throat, he immediately turned his palm over and landed on the maid's abdomen, where the ribs joined.
With a muffled sound, the maid's chest collapsed, her facial features bled, and she died.
