The winter snow melted quickly when it fell on the bluestone slabs, and it was extremely difficult to accumulate. The snowflakes that fell on the bright yellow glazed tiles were frozen in shape by the cold wind, looking like countless broken clouds waiting calmly in the golden morning sun.
Fan Xian withdrew his greedy gaze of admiring the snow, and with his hands behind his back, followed Eunuch Yao, quietly walking around the quiet and revolving palace wall, surrounded by those scarlet blood, and walked towards the depths of the palace. Behind the two of them, more than a dozen guards followed cautiously. At this time, Fan Xian was not bound, and the decree had already named him a traitor. The guards were very worried. If Zhong Zhong suddenly made an attack, how could people like himself have the ability to stop him.
But it is obvious that many officials died in the capital today, and Fan Xian even shocked the world by ordering the killing of his subordinate Zhongshu University scholar in the imperial city, but he has no interest in fighting in the palace. In the seemingly quiet palace, there are endless masters, perhaps because he knows that His Majesty the emperor in the palace is a high mountain, and before the mountain falls, it is meaningless to make trouble in the palace.
A corner of the cornice of the Taiji Hall moved along with people's steps on the high palace wall, walked through a small door, and walked past a wintersweet plant, and a group of silent people came to the imperial study.
Fan Xian waited quietly outside the study room. Eunuch Yao gave him a complicated look. Hong Zhu, who was guarding the door of the imperial study room, said something in a low voice. The floor is waiting for you."
"Small building?" Fan Xian was slightly startled, his eyes did not fall on Hong Zhu's face, and he did not risk asking with his eyes in front of everyone. Instead, he smiled reluctantly and said, "Then let's go."
Eunuch Yao waved his hand, stopped the dozen or so inner court guards outside the round stone arch, and led Fan Xian into the harem alone. Behind the two of them, the guards couldn't hide the nervousness and suspicion on their faces, while Hong Zhu, who had been standing obediently at the door of the imperial study... looked at the back of Mr. Fan who walked into the deep palace, his eyes suddenly burst into tears. Feeling uncontrollably sad, he quickly lowered his head, for fear of being looked down upon by others, but this lowering of his head seemed to be seeing off Fan Xian.
…
…
Snow Queen's inner palace was very quiet, and occasionally laughter could be heard from all over the deep palace. Fan Xian has good hearing, and he can even hear the sound of mahjong pieces falling from somewhere. He couldn't help laughing, thinking that those things in the capital today must have not been reported to the palace, and everyone lived happily, but the palace didn't seem to be so lively in the past. The beautiful women who have been in the palace for several months, and the concubines today, are really young, diluting the loneliness.
Fan Xian likes this, lest the palace is always cool and gloomy.
The imperial palace is very familiar to him, like home. His Majesty the Emperor is waiting for him in the small building. He naturally knows the way, and he still walks towards the northwest corner of the imperial palace with his hands clasped like a Confucian scholar. However, Eunuch Yao Instead, it fell behind him.
It's already at this time, no matter how anxious you are, it's useless, presumably His Majesty the Emperor won't be in a hurry either. It just so happened that the place in the palace was big and the air was cold. There was already snow on the Dongshu Xiaohu rockery, which was much more beautiful than the winter scenery in the palace. Behind Eunuch Yao's eyesight, there was something else.
Eunuch Yao felt that Mr. Fan in front of him was adjusting his breath, relying on his body's response to the surrounding environment, to advance his realm to a certain level of sensitivity and abundance.
Eunuch Yao's head lowered, he knew what Master Xiao Fan was walking slowly step by step, adjusting his breath.
Walking through the Winter Tree Garden, bypassing the rockery, and walking up to the wooden stack on the cold lake, he was about to cross the cold lake and pass the snow pavilion, which was also a snow pavilion where he had a long talk with His Majesty, Fan Xian Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and narrowed his eyes slightly.
There were people under the snow pavilion, a few eunuchs and court ladies were accompanying a lady who looked like a nobleman to enjoy the snow there. There might be a stove burning in the pavilion, but the nobleman was still wearing very expensive and warm mink clothes. After being startled for a moment, Fan Xian smiled and continued walking towards the pavilion. He never thought that in such cold weather, he would bump into a concubine in the palace.
Entering the palace today, he will not go to see Concubine Yigui, nor Ning Cairen and Concubine Shu in the Leng Palace, and even avoids it deliberately, so he chooses this plank road above the cold lake. Met one. Naturally, he would not hide, and Eunuch Yao followed behind him, so naturally he did not dare to speak out to tell him to choose another path.
As soon as the two of them entered the pavilion, those people in the pavilion were startled, obviously they did not expect that there would be outsiders entering the palace at this moment. The sharp-eyed court lady saw Eunuch Yao with his head bowed behind Fan Xian, and quickly squatted down to salute, secretly guessing the identity of the young scholar in front of him.
Standing in the pavilion, Fan Xian was also surprised. He thought to himself, how could the maids in the palace have changed and they didn't even recognize him after a few months? Thinking this way in his heart, his eyes subconsciously fell on the concubine sitting in the middle, and he refused to leave for a long time.
This concubine is about fifteen or sixteen years old, and she looks young and beautiful, but today she wears hairpins and rings, is making up her face, and is wearing luxurious clothes, which forcibly accentuates a bit of nobility and arrogance. The concubine looked at Eunuch Yao with an irrepressible sense of pride in her eyes and asked, "Has your Majesty ready for lunch?"
Eunuch Yao didn't answer, but just smiled, thinking that it's really not a good choice to play the favored drama at this time. The people in the pavilion suddenly felt a little weird, especially after noticing the young scholar's gaze, they felt extremely angry, and wondered where such a bastard came from.
Fan Xian stared blankly at the concubine's slightly bulging belly. Although she was wearing extremely thick fur, she could still see it clearly. He knew right away that the nobleman sitting in the pavilion enjoying the snow in front of him was Concubine Mei who was in favor now, and it was also this woman who was pregnant with His Majesty's dragon seed.
There was a dead silence in the pavilion, and Fan Xian just quietly looked at Concubine Mei's belly for a long, long time, with complicated expressions in his eyes. However, this kind of woman staring at His Majesty naked, especially from this position, is really quite rude.
"Where did the bastard come from? Where are those thief eyes aiming?" A young court lady stared at Fan Xian and scolded sharply. Seeing that, she was about to go up and slap Fan Xian immediately. This palace lady is a girl brought in by Concubine Mei from outside the palace. These days, the master is as expensive as the son, and the servant is as expensive as the master. She is so arrogant and proud in the palace, even the empress in Shufang Palace mostly greets with warm words, He has cultivated a lifetime of arrogance, never seen a man like Fan Xian in the palace.
Fan Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the palace maid who walked over with an angry face, and did not move.
Eunuch Yao's heart trembled, he had been following His Majesty these days, and he didn't take much care of the affairs in the harem, he really didn't expect that the servants around Concubine Mei would be so domineering and blind.
With a slap across the face, Eunuch Yao floated forward, slapped the court lady to the ground, and then quickly retreated behind Fan Xian with his arms folded, and said humbly, "Master Fan, Your Majesty is still waiting for you." .”
Fan Xian glanced at him with a smile, and said, "Why are you so nervous? Afraid I'll kill her?"
Eunuch Yao smiled foolishly and didn't say anything. He thought that you are adjusting your breath step by step, and your murderous intent in your body has already reached its peak. There is no trace of leakage in your body. It is really about to encounter an introduction. Feel free to be angry, not everyone can stand it.
The court lady was directly slapped to the ground, with a trace of blood dripping from the corner of her mouth. The air in the pavilion seemed to be condensed. Concubine Mei stared at this scene dumbfounded. She was so angry that she was even a little confused. She couldn't figure out why eunuch Yao, the chief eunuch of the inner court, did this, and who was this young man? , How dare you not kowtow to yourself, and dare to stare at yourself so rudely!
Only the few eunuchs and maids who were serving at the side heard clearly the identity that Eunuch Yao pointed out through dialogue, and they finally knew that this young scholar who entered the palace alone was Xiao Fan, whom the seniors in the palace never forgot to remind. My lord, they immediately lowered their heads nervously, not daring to look directly at each other.
Fan Xian looked calmly at Concubine Mei with an angry face, paused for a moment and said, "It's freezing cold, let's go back to the palace, or play mahjong, it's not good for the child in my stomach if I get sick from the cold here." Well... Don't think that His Majesty will think you are beautiful when he sees you in the snow pavilion, and don't expect him to love you too much. Living in this palace is actually very simple, just be honest."
His eyes fell on Concubine Mei's stomach again, and he couldn't help but shook his head with a bitter smile, thinking that it was too short a time, so why did he already show his feelings? The one in this stomach will be another brother or sister of her own.
"I hope you can give me a younger sister. I don't have a younger sister yet." Fan Xian sincerely and sincerely blessed Concubine Mei, then walked around the crowd under the snow pavilion and walked up to the wooden stack on the other side of the lake. Go towards the northwest corner of the palace.
Concubine Mei struggled to keep herself from crying. Anger and helplessness piled up in her heart. She subconsciously looked back at Fan Xian's back, and shivered uncontrollably. After all, she is just a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. After hearing the identity of the other party from the last sentence, she couldn't help but feel a little scared. Since she was pregnant with His Majesty's dragon species, she was proud on the one hand and scared on the other. Because she knew what the child in her womb meant to the person in Shufang Palace and to this "foreign minister" surnamed Fan.
She didn't think Fan Xian's last words were a blessing, she only took them as a warning, but she didn't think that Fan Xian sincerely hoped that she would give birth to a princess. After all, if she gave birth to a prince, she would just I am afraid that for the rest of my life, I will be trapped in that darkness, and I will never be able to float up again.
Concubine Mei looked at the figure who disappeared into Xiaoxue with a slight sense of fear, the fear in her eyes gradually turned into resentment and resentment.
…
…
Emperor Qing was not in the small building, he was watching the small building in front of the large deserted palace in the northwest corner of the palace. The palaces here are sparse, the winter garden is quiet and clear, and there are rockeries, but they are already dilapidated. It seems that they have not been repaired for many years, and they are colder than the cold palaces on the other side.
In front of a piece of desolate long grass, Eunuch Yao retreated silently. Fan Xian was alone, looking at the bright yellow figure between the small building and the long grass, and walked over quietly, a little behind, just like he was at the beach in Danzhou back then, watching the small building silently with him .
The father and son did not remain silent for too long. The emperor put his hands behind his back and watched the small building quietly, with his thin lips slightly parted, he asked calmly, "Did you see Concubine Mei before?"
"Yes." Fan Xian also clasped his hands behind his back, and when he heard His Majesty's question, he replied calmly.
"Do you think she is pregnant with a man or a woman?" the emperor asked. At this time, the feeling on the stage was very strange. The father and son had been in a cold war for several months, and the world had lost countless lives because of the cold war between the two of them. They met today, but there was no anger and reprimand as expected by outsiders. , just chatting casually.
"Should be a princess."
"Oh? I always knew that you are well-versed in the world, but I didn't know that you also know the things of these mother-in-laws." The corner of the emperor's lips curled up slightly, and said sarcastically.
"It's not enough to know the world well, but I still have some understanding of medical skills. The most important thing is that the one in Concubine Mei's womb can only be a princess." Fan Xian replied respectfully.
"Hmm..." The emperor frowned gradually, and said coldly: "In your opinion, I can't raise a guy who is more mature than the third child?"
"No." Fan Xian replied very simply, "Because Concubine Mei is not as good as Concubine Yigui."
After a moment of silence, the emperor said: "That's reasonable, but the Tian family's blood is thin, so it's always good to have one more prince."
"If Your Majesty has a pity, it will be good to have more princes in Daqing in the future." Fan Xian did not specify what the pity is, but lowered his eyes slightly, and said directly: "Otherwise, if there is an extra Chengqian, Chengze, it will be good." Means nothing."
As soon as this remark came out, the emperor's face darkened quickly. Fan Xian mentioned the crown prince and the second prince. Although he was responsible for the disastrous ending of these two princes, it must be said that the emperor's training of his sons was in fact Completely took a path that was too cold-blooded and wrong. Regarding this point, if the aging emperor didn't feel a little bit in his heart, it would be absolutely false.
Standing behind the figure of Emperor Xiao Suo, Fan Xian calmly observed every subtle change of His Majesty, and found the hidden pain in the other's heart. He couldn't help but sighed in his heart. No one in this world is a real god, even if As strong as the opponent, after stepping off the dragon chair, he gradually walked on the road of an ordinary old man.
The changes in Emperor Qing over the years have always been in Fan Xian's eyes, and it is precisely because he knows this that he has the courage to come to the palace today and say these words to the other party.
These words were like knives, cutting the emperor's heart. After all, His Majesty is not He Zongwei. Just a moment later, the emperor's face turned into the eternal Dongshan cliff. rainstorm.
"He Zongwei is dead?" the emperor asked slowly.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"You have been thinking hard in the mansion for seven days and seven nights. I was thinking what method you could come up with to move me, but I didn't expect that you would end up messing around like this." The emperor shook his head and said mockingly: "You really make me very angry." disappointment."
Fan Xian smiled shyly, and replied: "Your Majesty, there is a mountain like Dongshan, and a thousand years of wind and rain will not hinder me. After all, I am just an ordinary person. No matter how I think about it, I can't think of a way to create something out of nothing. Human imagination is limited after all. You can’t think of something that doesn’t exist in the first place.”
This sentence is very sincere, and it is indeed Fan Xian's words from the heart. Facing a person like His Majesty who is so talented and powerful, how easy is it to find a way to defeat him? It is indeed a possibility that does not exist in this world...
"After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't come up with any solution, so I finally figured it out. I may have been immersed in the Overwatch Council since I was a child, and I am used to thinking about everything carefully, and only attack when I am sure. "
Fan Xian suddenly raised his face, with a delightful gleam on his delicate face, and said, "However, this time is different, I will never be able to find a sure way... Since I can never think of a good way, why not use it?" The easiest way?"
The simplest method, very simple six words, but contains a deep meaning. What's the easiest way in the world? Naturally, like a beast, it bites with its teeth, tears with its claws, and engages in the most primitive and bloody hand-to-hand combat.
The words Fan Xian said were a kind of breakthrough after setbacks from the heart, a burst of ruthlessness, a burst of indifference that he had never shown before, vividly and vividly displayed out.
His Majesty the Emperor suddenly calmed down, turned around and looked at his son quietly, as if he wanted to find something different from this familiar face. Even a little more appreciation.
However, the laughter subsided in a moment, and His Majesty's voice was extremely cold: "Killing ministers in public and treating Qing Law as nothing, this is reckless, not a heroic means."
"Your Majesty is a wise emperor, and He Zongwei is a traitor, so He Zongwei must die." Fan Xian smiled suddenly, and said calmly that neither he nor the emperor would believe, "All the officials who died today are He faction officials, but if rumors spread Kyoto must have shocked the world. However, He Zongwei is benevolent and moral on the surface, but secretly he is a thief and a prostitute. Your Majesty is wise and mighty. Once he finds out about this person's misdeeds, he uses thunderous means to eradicate rape and punish evil for the sake of Daqing Wannian's foundation. He is so heroic How can means be limited by Qing Law?" (If you want to know what happens next, please log in, there are more chapters, support the author, support the original version!)
