Chapter 79: The Wise Eer
The Elder Princess’ eyes flashed with fear as she spoke anxiously, ”It’s been four years, and The Overwatch Council hasn’t let up on the case at all; I fear that the truthhas returned to his hometown on a visit and doesn’t want to come back to the capital If… he decides to retire now, then it would be for the best”
”I’hed coldly, ”Don’t forget that one night four years ago, it was Chen Pingping who convinced the e Fan Jian took Sir Chen Pingping’s hometown visit as an opportunity to convince the ee This e of the national treasury in the future… If Chen Pingping was still in the capital, then this one the way you wanted… or, the way the prime minister wanted”
The Elder Princess laughed through pursed lips, saying, ”What a way to put it, dear Queen Surely you would be pleased if the wedding was called off, since it would mean the second prince would lose this opportunity to make some profit from it”
The queen smiled and replied, ”What have I to be pleased about? Whether or not this sters takes places does not concern es of our family, but told me that not to worry the Fan family”
The elder princess’s expression changed, but a sical There’s nothing for h Fan Xian was not born of a dazzling identity, I have seen from these past couple days that he’s well educated Anyways, Chen’er has been in a good ood news”
The two do s had happened Neither wanted to show their vulnerable side or be the one to execute the crucialwould fall to shambles, and the Fan family would lose an heir The second prince would lose his support and the prime minister could sleep soundly The elder princess could continue to control the palace treasury and provide an endless source of money to those who needed it With the death of just one person, it see poould be easily resolved
Unfortunately, no one illing to o and the capital was not like Danzhou Here, the wall had eyes on everyone assassination was no longer a valid overnment official’s son, especially at such a sensitive time Furthermore… Lady Liu would not fall for the same dirty trick a second time
In the eer’s palace, an old and virtuous lady let down her snohite hair and felt a steady pair of hands brush through it She spoke in a low voice, ”Why did I give birth to such a foolish daughter?”
The person behind her smiled and replied, ”But you love her just as much anyway, otherwise you would not have requested the ees”
The eer exhaled and said, ”I really don’t know if Lin Ruofu owes ed him… You do indeed have quite a sharp eye so tell me, why did the emperor choose Chen’er to marry the boy from Fan family?”
The person’s voice was filled with hesitation as they answered: ”The princess is at the age to get et better Getting e is just a cover, and uous oral corand business Perhaps… the e too close to each other, and he is unsatisfied with the crown prince so he has taken away elder princess’ authority and plans to let second…”
She silenced herself
Having served the eer for over ten years, she knew that she was out of line to have overshared her opinions
Eer paused, the wrinkles on her face spread out like chrysantheovernment affairs and I take care of fa care of this particular affair”
The person flattered her, ”You are truly wise, Eer”
”This was a stupid thing to do” Count Sinan Fan Jian was staring coldly at his son in the study
Fan Xian s could not be avoided, so he s instead
”You’re not a fool Guo Baokun is not surrounded by powerful people If you really found it necessary to beat him up, why leave behind all those clues?” Count Sinan continued coldly without waiting for his explanation, ”Don’t say anything Beating so up to it is absolutely ridiculous!”
Fan Xian realized that Lady Liu had repeated his words frohed aardly Fan Jian found it impossible to be mad at him when he had such an innocent and radiant shed and asked, ”Tell me; why did you stir up so much trouble?”
Fan Xian thought for a bit before he answered, ”After drinking with Prince Jing, I decided that I wanted to be his friend I used this fight as an opportunity to tie us together If I have Prince Jing supporting s could be done in a more convenient manner” Fan Xian sneaked a peek at his father and continued after he found no abnores to his expressions, ”Secondly, Guo Baokun was a bully and I wanted to make sure that he kneasn't someone to be messed with”
