Fan Xian had truly becoer did people only watch out for the powers standing behind him, but rather he himself became the center of attention After all, he was the only one whoMohan throw up blood, and he had done this at such a young age
As if planned, both the eldest and second princesto win Fan Xian over to their side Li Hongcheng often ca also came to visit
But Fan Xian still had a lot of things to do, so he suspended contact with both of thes: he found the key and he frayi The pressure from the imperial court and that ninth-ranked master uarantee of his own safety

Two days after the Dongyi diplomatic mission left the capital, that chance arrived
Fan Xian had no solid proof of Eldest Princess’s treachery, and therefore he could not tell anyone about it, nor could he use it to take action against the princess He always had a complex opinion of the emperor Besides, if he told His Majesty, it wouldn’t be entirely inity of the royal family
Had it been a regular citizen of Qing, they would keep a secret like this deep in their heart, carrying it to the grave

Wu Zhu asked coldly, ”And the contents of these pamphlets?”
Fan Xian raised his eyebrows and sighed to himself, ”I’m like an undercover Communist Party member”
He started to describe the contents in great detail, paying much attention on how to make the pamphlets persuasive They had to contain both truths and lies, such as how Eldest Princess spoke to Zhuang Mohan, how yun suffered undercover in Northern Qi, only to be abandoned by the palace, how Eldest Princess was har the nation for her own benefits, exactly what benefits she gained, how many fake eunuchs were in the palace, how many old lovers were outside the palace…

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows again, ”Notas the commoners believe it, all is well As for the emperor, this counts as a reminder”
Wu Zhu said coldly, ”The emperor doesn’t need your reminder”
