After that incident, Ku He did not investigate the er also kept her silence Those nobles who had tried to force abdication were not harmed at the tiood ends
So no er's peaceful reign within the palace was all thanks to Ku He's popularity, and his incoth
”Ku He is so cool” Fan Xian clapped his thighs and sighed in a forward against thousands' So dayun looked at Fan Xian His speech was rather vulgar, he thought, and did not show the proper respect to the revered four grandrandmasters He considers himself above earthly matters But if he declares a position on a matter, then everyone, no matter who it is, will find themselves restrained somewhat by fear”
Fan Xian shook his head ”When it came to those idiots who tried to force the Emperor to abdicate, I don't think Ku He could really have done anything against a hail of thousands of arrows”
”Ku He had taken a blood oath to kill whoever dared to sit upon the Dragon Throne” Yan Bingyun suddenly felt as though this Council Commissioner had becoth, anyone in the north who he wanted killed would be dead The on Throne, they would find their heads separated from their shoulders Who would want to be Euarantee their own life?”
”A grandmaster?” Fan Xian frowned For the first time, he felt that this extraordinary existence was quiet a troubleso and prorandyun looked at hi Of the world's four grandmasters, he had only seen Ye Liuyun At the ti As for the randet particularly excited about hi,” said Fan Xian, waving a hand to urge hier listens to Ku He, and Ku He wants Xiao En dead”

”I have 's na Shanhu th of the Emperor's faction, and only then will they be able to protect Xiao En's life Master Yan, is there any plan we could ain froyun shook his head, then suddenly thought of so He smiled ”In fact, when it comes to power, Northern Qi has never been weak Over these past four years, I have seen , Northern Qi will never be able to claim victory”
Fan Xian wasn't sure why he had coyun laughed happily ”With the royal court sending Xiao En north, within a year, the balance and peace that the Eer and the Emperor have worked so hard to maintain will be broken I am quite in awe in awe of those in the royal court who made such a plan”
The one who plotted to send Xiao En back was the Eldest Princess Fan Xian's expression reri to admire You know that you were the price of this transaction”
”What do you
”It was the Eldest Princess who singlehandedly sold you out to the Qi royal court, then arranged with Shang Shanhu to have Xiao En returned to the North even if the unrest in the Qi royal court was a result of reat waves? You're simply a pawn in the hands of the nobles A pawn should be aware of his status as a pawn For you to have such admiration for someone who holds you in the palm of their hand I don't understand it at all”
Fan Xian's words were harsh and carefully chosen He wanted to plant a seed of hatred for the Eldest Princess within Yan Bingyun's heart To his surprise, Yan Bingyun's face re, and instead he continued to outline his plan ”We can't interfere in this n soil, and since Ku He has made a decision on whether Xiao En may live or die, we cannot interfere - nor is there any need to”

Fan Xian told Yan Bingyun about the past few days' events with Master Cui ”What do you plan to do?” asked Yan Bingyun, his face unmoved
