"Well said!" With a clear female voice, the door was pushed open.
The Fan brothers in the room all turned around and looked over, and Fan Ling only had to hold the dagger at his waist.
The person who appeared in front of them was Wen Qingzhu.
She crossed the threshold and took a few steps forward. Fan Ling took a few steps back.
After calming down for a moment, Fan Yu tried his best to force out a smile: "Why did the princess come here suddenly?"
Wen Qingzhu looked at him with deep meaning: "I heard that you were worried about your brother, so I came here specially to take a look."
A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Fan Yu's head, but he still said calmly: "My brother has not recovered from his old injury, and he always runs around regardless of his advice. I just came here to talk to him. Don't get me wrong, Princess."
"Really?" Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes to look at Fan Ling and found that the knife on his waist was already showing a cold light.
Fan Ling stared at Beidou behind her very vigilantly, mentally calculating how to escape.
When he glanced at Fan Yu, thinking of his relationship with Wen Qingzhu, he probably wouldn't embarrass his younger brother.
Sooner or later, Fan Ling was worthy of being a general, and he attacked Wen Qingzhu's face without hesitation.
Beidou naturally took action quickly to protect Wen Qingzhu.
When the two were about to fight, Fan Ling suddenly tiptoed and stepped out sideways.
Wen Qingzhu immediately ordered: "Kill him!"
The next moment, a dagger slipped out of Beidou's sleeve and stabbed Fan Yu's heart without hesitation.
Fan Yu, whose face was full of horror, groaned and fell to the ground with a thud.
Just after escaping from the house, Fan Ling felt something was wrong and stopped immediately. When he looked back, he happened to meet Wen Qingzhu's gentle smile: "If I can't kill you, then why can't I kill your brother?"
Fan Ling froze and looked at Fan Yu who fell to the ground in disbelief.
My brother is dead
Wen Qingzhu's friend killed his brother without hesitation
impossible! Wen Qingzhu is not such a person!
Looking at his expression, Wen Qingzhu understood clearly and said sarcastically: "Do you really think that I, Wen Qingzhu, am a good person? Not to mention that you had a rebellious heart from the beginning, and you don't know who your father is counting on for his double-dealing.
I thought you would be more restrained and not want to use Fan Yu again and again. There is a limit to human patience. Don't think that I won't kill him. "
Fan Ling took a deep breath, glanced at Fan Yu on the ground, and then said coldly: "I hope the princess will remember what you said today! One day I will avenge Xiaoyu!"
After saying this, Fan Ling quickly turned around and evacuated.
Wen Qingzhu admired this decisiveness, but it was a pity for Fan Yu.
"So this is your brother's love for you." Wen Qingzhu turned around and asked Beidou to help Fan Yu up.
Beidou took off the knife from his body and uncovered Fan Yu's acupuncture points.
Fan Yu, who was free, turned pale. He touched his heart, and there was no injury there.
Wen Qingzhu took the knife handed over by Beidou, pressed the mechanism on the handle, and the retracted blade popped out.
She couldn't help but marveled: "Xiushan is indeed a genius. He can make such exquisite knives without making any big flaws visible."
Fan Yu, who came to his senses, immediately knelt down: "Princess! Please spare my brother!"
Wen Qingzhu handed the knife to Lu Tao, looked at him with pity and said, "For your sake, I gave him a chance. Even if he comes to look at you, I might kill him. Now you are dead." , he just paused, then turned around and left."
Seeing Fan Yu's shoulders trembling slightly, Wen Qingzhu also knew that he felt uncomfortable, so he could only sigh: "I can only say that your brother has gone too far astray, and your life is not very important in his eyes."
After returning to the capital, Wen Qingzhu went directly to see Fan Rong.
Fan Yu was still in a daze and had not reacted to what had just happened.
Fan Rong, who was beside him, was kneeling on the ground and sweating profusely while listening to Lu Tao talking about the encounter with the head of Pingshu County and what happened just now in the Fan family courtyard.
Finally, he immediately raised his head and explained: "Princess! There must be a misunderstanding here!"
The corner of Wen Qingzhu's mouth curled up: "Oh? Mr. Fan, please explain, what kind of misunderstanding is it?"
As a veteran minister for many years, Fan Rong made up a perfect excuse.
But even Fan Yu didn't believe this. He suddenly raised his head and said, "Dad! Stop talking. My brother has colluded with the Xianbei people."
With a "pop" sound, Fan Rong raised his hand and slapped him: "You little bastard, shut up!"
Fan Yu, who was beaten, still straightened his back and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "No matter what decision the princess makes, I will be willing to bear it, but my father is old and my mother doesn't know anything. I hope the princess can punish them lightly." .”
"Fan Yu!" Fan Rong was trembling all over. He really didn't expect that at this time, his youngest son would not help him.
It’s not like he is totally helpless!
Wen Qingzhu looked at the father and son, thoughtfully in his heart: "In this case, Lord Fan, please sit back and think about your fault at home. After all, it is the son's fault that he did not teach his father. As for Fan Yu, after careful calculation, this matter has little to do with you. Just keep doing your thing."
"Princess!" Fan Yu didn't expect Wen Qingzhu to deal with her like this.
Things were almost done. Wen Qingzhu wanted to go to Liang Pingshu's place to see him. He told Fan Yu a few words and left here.
Arriving at Liang's house, Wen Qingzhu quickly saw Liang Pingshu, and Lu Lei was also there.
"Why is the princess here?" Liang Pingshu was about to get up, and Wen Qingzhu quickly went over and held her down: "Don't move, even if it's a minor injury, you have to pretend to be seriously injured."
Liang Pingshu immediately understood and lay back.
Wen Qingzhu turned to look at Lu Lei: "Were you with Pingshu at that time?"
"Yeah, and I feel like they came for me, and Pingshu got hurt just to remind me." Lu Lei was filled with guilt.
After thinking for a moment, Wen Qingzhu nodded and said, "I am indeed here for you. You Duan is very famous in Xianbei. When I followed him pretending to be the princess, Bu Liugu was very protective of him."
"You Duan has a good relationship with Bu Liugu?" In Lu Lei's impression, Bu Liugu is a person who protects his shortcomings.
Wen Qingzhu shook his head: "No, the relationship between Bu Liugu and You Duan is not good. What can I say about the relationship between You Duan and the eldest prince? It doesn't seem to be a good one. I'm afraid he came back this time just for you. .”
"Is Bu Liugu also back?" Liang Pingshu was very worried. If Bu Liugu was protecting them, it would be difficult for them to move.
"No, Fu Lie received news from Bu Liugu's subordinates. He was seriously injured and is rushing back to Xianbei at high speed. He is afraid that Bu Liugu has given up on this young master."
Wen Qingzhu knew very well that if Bu Liugu really wanted to protect You Duan, he would risk his life to come back and take him away.
Now that he has not come back, I think Bu Liugu came to protect You Duan just for the sake of King Xianbei's face.
In this way, things will be much easier to handle.
"Fan Ling and You Duan have joined forces. He has revealed his secret. You can start preparing. On my side, I will go to the palace and ask the emperor." Wen Qingzhu's mind changed and he had an idea.
But when she returned to the palace, she was stopped by Fu Lie.
"Qingqing, Fan Rong is now asking for forgiveness from the emperor. Please stop interfering in the Fan family's affairs and let me handle it."
Wen Qingzhu didn't understand: "Is Fan Ling a member of the emperor? It doesn't look like it!"
Fu Lie shook his head: "No, but Fan Ling had contact with the emperor before. As far as I know, he and Pei Yi have close contacts. I'm afraid he has other purposes."
"It's Pei Yi again! How many people has he colluded with!" Wen Qingzhu always thought that he was a calm person, but at this time he finally couldn't calm down.
Fu Lie touched her head and comforted her: "Don't worry, they will be exposed slowly."
Wen Qingzhu glanced at the main hall of Xuanzheng Hall and felt a little worried: "You have nothing to do with the emperor, right? I think Fan Rong gave me a reason in front of me that he didn't believe. Does he have anything to rely on?"
"After all, Fan Rong has been the Minister of the Ministry of War for many years and is one of the most trusted people by the late emperor. It is normal to have someone to rely on. You go back and rest first. If nothing happens, go and see Mingxuan."
After Fu Lie finished speaking, Wen Qingzhu looked at him strangely: "I always feel like you are coaxing me."
"Isn't this putting your mind at ease? If you think it's coaxing you, that's it." Fu Lie chuckled.
Having said it so clearly, Wen Qingzhu had no more thoughts in his mind and turned around and walked out.
Just when she walked out of the Xuanzheng Hall, she saw Linlang coming over.
Linlang saw her running quickly: "Princess!"
Wen Qingzhu's heart moved and he quickly asked, "Did the Emperor bring Zhao'er back?"
"Yeah! And the emperor is very good at recruiting beauties now. In addition to visiting the queen, he will also come over to see the beauties." Linlang still felt that the emperor was dangerous, but the change in the emperor was unquestionable.
After thinking for a while, Wen Qingzhu nodded, but then thought of Fu Jue: "What about Mr. Fu?"
Linlang also looked worried: "I tried asking the emperor, but he still doesn't allow anyone to see Fu Guiren, but according to Ye Qian, Fu Guiren is recovering from his injuries and is being taken care of very well."
"Is that so? Then I'll be relieved."
But she asked again: "When will you go back? You and I will go see Zhao'er later."
Linlang nodded: "Wait a moment, Princess, I will go and deliver something to the Emperor first."
Wen Qingzhu watched her leave, and not long after, a green woolen sedan headed to Qianyuan Palace.
Looking at the regulations, it looks a bit like the sedan used by a beautiful lady to attend her bed.
When Linlang came back, Wen Qingzhu asked about the sedan chair just now.
Linlang shook his head and said he didn't know.
But Wen Qingzhu still felt something was wrong and asked Lu Tao to go and investigate.
Arriving at Zhao Meiren's residence, Wen Qingzhu saw that this place was indeed very different from before.
Linlang led her into the inner room, but when she opened the curtain, she saw Jiang Yuanhan turning around.
Linlang was startled when she saw the person coming. She saw the emperor just now in the Xuanzheng Hall
Wen Qingzhu was not surprised. He glanced at Zhao'er on the bed, raised his finger and pointed outside and said, "If the emperor doesn't mind, why don't we go out and chat."
"Okay." Jiang Yuanhan followed her out.
Looking at their leaving figures, Zhao'er's face was filled with worry. Linlang went over to comfort her: "The emperor is no longer the emperor he used to be. Don't worry."
Zhao'er couldn't help but shake her head. Ever since she got pregnant, she couldn't see the fate of others.
But occasionally dreams can still catch a glimpse of a leopard.
Since coming back, Zhao'er could feel that the emperor had put away his murderous intention. However, in her dream two days ago, she dreamed that she was having a difficult childbirth, and then Wen Qingzhu came, and then the emperor appeared, but—
Zhao'er shook his head, feeling that this was not logical at all.
How could the emperor take action against Wen Qingzhu? It was absolutely impossible!
On the corridor outside the house, the two of them stood side by side.
Jiang Yuanhan said directly and simply: "If you let Fan Ling go this time, I will agree to one condition for you."
Wen Qingzhu looked at the people around him in surprise. He looked at the scenery in the courtyard intently, which was different from the previous Jiang Yuanhan.
This increasingly calm and considerate temperament is indeed getting more and more troublesome.
Wen Qingzhu understood a little bit why Fu Lie didn't let her see Jiang Yuanhan.
After thinking for a while, Wen Qingzhu made a request: "For the Qingming Festival, please accompany me to see my mother."
Jiang Yuanhan glanced sideways, trying to see what she was thinking, but what he saw was a pair of smiling eyes: "What? Your Majesty doesn't dare?"
"I promise you that." After Jiang Yuanhan finished speaking, he left without any regrets.
When he walked away, Wen Qingzhu's smile gradually disappeared, replaced by deep worry.
It seemed like I had underestimated him.
