Chapter 144: Leaflets Like Snow
Fan Xian s in the palace, was in contact with Northern Qi, and the countless informants under the Emperor's hand were unaware, it was absolutely inexcusable ”I don't understand why he still allows the eldest princess to live in the palace rather than sending her to another fiefdom”
”The eldest princess is the Ehter She is his sister, and he does not need to fear anything”
”How do you suppose the Ereat trust in Wu Zhu's powers of analysis
”The Overwatch Council would be i the influence that you have singlehandedly built up, greatly rewarding the eldest princess in order to prove the unity of the royal family After matters have quieted, they would find an opportune moment to allow the eldest princess to return to the fiefdo the eldest princess, they should be able to conveniently reward the Princess Chen, si your status”
Fan Xian laughed bitterly, knowing the facts of his response, but listening to them as if they were a corny joke
”Why does the Emperor not use this simple method to force the eldest princess out of the palace? As you say, he already knew that the eldest princess was colluding with Northern Qi”
”First, this method is very unusual Second, he doesn’t need to force his sister to leave the palace He prefers to let those in hiding reveal themselves, and then destroy the network He is very accustomed to such an approach”
Fan Xian could tell that Wu Zhu sincerely believed in the power of the Eh the E the two, it was clear that the Emperor, who he had met twice, was kinder than the eldest princess, so Fan Xian had unthinkingly begun to worry about the treason that could occur after some years' time
”So e are doing is tanta the situation in the palace? The eldest princess will likely still have companions in the palace”
”I will check,” said Wu Zhu coldly
Fan Xian thought for a hed bitterly ”I have to think of a way to get the eldest princess far away from the royal court for a time Otherwise His Majesty will have no way to s the ene in waiting for the enemy to make the first move; we can’t”
If a poilling to collaborate with a foreign country plunged into madness to deal with Fan Xian, Fan Xian could only flee behind Wu Zhu Although Fan Xian had wished to travel the world, this wasn't how he had wanted to do it
”I will go”
”Go” Fan Xian waved his right ar manner of a youthful student leader
He had watched a nuainst japan in his previous life He felt that in the darkness at that , then called Beiping, when it was occupied by the japanese army He and Wu Zhu were those students who had dared to resist the invaders, carefully distributing leaflets at night, calling on the people of the Kingdoainst their shameless oppressors
He smiled as he lay back down on the bed The box was stashed beneath the bed, and he was not worried in the slightest After Wu Zhu had lost his memories, he had been the only one in the world who could open the box
After he had fallen asleep, he had a wonderful dream where snow fell on the capital in early autue, resentfully turning her head to look at the i her world behind
In Septereat snow truly did fall Heave
n and earth were elegantly covered like a field of flowers across every part of the city, particularly near the Ie and the Pavilion of the Iently broke, scholars and coreatly shocked when reading them
This was the first tido
However, Fan Xian had overesti, and understimated the control of the Overatch Council and the six ministries Within four hours, the leaflets that had covered the entire capital found their way to the square office on Tianhe Avenue
No one dared hold onto a leaflet for theh the commoners rarely had any contact with the Overwatch Council, they were all terrified of its vicious reputation, and no one wanted to gamble their lives or those of their families
The I for a decree to bethe autumn term exams ahead of schedule
All kinds of measures were taken in the space of half a day, one after another, until the situation was finally under control But ruhout the streets and alleyways of the capital, when people saw each other, the glances they gave no longer suggested the usual greeting of ”Have you eaten,” and instead asked, ”Have you seen it?”
