Chapter 309: The Patient in the Plu Xin palace The environh Tianxin Tai, you would arrive at Yin Feng Ge; this here Fan Xian was recovering The Eiven him permission to stay in the palace while he healed, and the people in the palace all acknowledged that he had perforreat service for the royal family But as a male chancellor, it was felt that his treatment was inappropriate Fan Xian ell aware of this, so he just stayed in the pluards to the visitors ished to see Fan Xian, he took advantage of the fact that he was ill as an excuse not to see them
At this time, there was a noblewo through Yin Feng Ge, and the way she appeared seeest that she was familiar with the place She held the hand of a child, and a few maids of hers trailed behind her
Fan Xian was surprised; it ho Yi Gui Pin He did not say anything Ever since Fan Xian had stayed at the palace, she had brought the third prince to sit in that place everyday At first, it was because they were relatives, not to mention that Fan Xian had saved the third prince's life in the Floating Temple She wanted to show her appreciation, and Fan Xian was not one to deny it However, Fan Xian knew that her intentions weren't wholly pure and that she had an ulterior motive
”Auntie, didn't I tell you that you did not have to co stuff here?” Fan Xian was sards to appropriate mannerisms, he should have called her ”lady” But ever since he first entered the palace last year, Yi Gui Pin had always enjoyed hi her Auntie She adored this sweet nicknae her Today, thea number of boxes; the contents of which weren't known to Fan Xian
”It is a soup made from cordyceps” Yi Gui Pin and the two ers to each other, and so they immediately presented a jar of the stuff Yi Gui Pin then sat down next to Fan Xian and said, ”This is not from the palace It was formulated in your manor, and I was asked to deliver it to you”
Fan Xian made an ”oh” sound in response He then observed thethat one of the'er has coh the palace on his first ever visit to the place She did not expect that Fan Xian would still reh-pitched voice replied, ”Yes”
This rand smile, then said, ”You are badly injured Even now, you still haven't forgotten about”
All of a sudden, she regretted her suggestion She hastily ended her sentence, held her ain She was not that old, and Yi Gui Pin's personality was beautiful and pleasant She was an easy person to get along with She then turned to talk with Wan'er, and discuss the house with Ruoruo It co kept in their absence
The third prince, who sat next to Yi Gui Pin, looked a lot more honest than he used to He didn't look as cruel as he did back in the Bao Yue brothel He looked down to the ground and with a face of sadness, reain would he raise his head to take a gander at the patient
After what happened at the Floating Te the events of the Bao Yue brothel had all dispersed Aside fro cousin, it seemed to him as if no one else valued his life This included his two brothers as well There, they only looked to their father Had Fan Xian not been there, he was afraid that his life was to be lost at the hands of the assassin
For the eight-year-old kid, it did not e that could only judge people through black and white values People were either good or bad The third prince looked at Fan Xian's pale face He thought of Fan Xian covering hih his rereat deal What he was feeling was could not be measured
Wan'er looked at the third prince and asked, ”Third Prince, why are you so quiet today?”
The third prince began laughing, and he said, ”oh, nothing ailssister”
Wan'er was even more confused, and so she said, ”it seeed”
Yi Gui Pin looked at her son and said, ”if it wasn't for Fan Xian, this child would have lost his life He was shocked a great deal, but it's better for hi on the sofa It was an inconvenience
for him to turn his head, so he used the corner of his vision to observe the wo He slowly drank the soup which had been produced fro'er brought back the bowl, she quickly rubbed his chest with her incredibly soft fingertips
Fan Xian was surprised He knew that this maid would not flirt or tease hi Yi Gui Pin wished to tell hio take the third prince for a walk in the garden? Ruoruo, you can accompany them”
They both looked at each other They also knew that Fan Xian and Yi Gui Pin had soht the third prince with thearden As he went, it looked as if he did not want to leave They also brought theGe, only Fan Xian and Yi Gui Pin re'er stayed with theht it to be inappropriate for the wife an Ehis head, and so he looked at Xing'er
Yi Gui Pin sht fro a wry smile as he said this, ”What is it? Must you really be this careful? I am heavily injured and have only been awake for two days”
Yi Gui Pin waved her handkerchief With a smile, she responded, ”If I did not coht me out?”
These words were not playful She calculated Fan Xian's desire to learn of what had been occuring outside the palace in his absence In regards to the assassination in the Floating Te did not only concern the people of the palace; even the civilians were talking about it, and this was quite strange At the dinner table, in various restaurants across the capital, people would repeatedly curse the assassin, all the while trying to guess his identity Hundreds of people would provide hundreds of answers Yi Gui Pin knew that the Emperor wanted Fan Xian to recover in peace, so he prevented hi to do his own research into the matter Yi Gui Pin, however, had decided to help hiard
”Aren't you afraid that the Emperor will punish you?” Fan Xian looked like he had a smile, yet did not have one
”Now is the tih corrected herself to laugh somewhat She then said, ”Aside from you, there is nobody else I can rely upon”
Fan Xian knew exactly what she meant There were four wives with kids in the palace The children that belonged to the Erown up to possess their oer And this Yi Gui Pin before hih she was a noble who had received support from the Fan Manor, bore the third prince, as still too young
After a time of silence had elapsed between the Teh she had already heard it once froht terror when she heard it here again Her hands were tightly holding onto the handkerchief in her possession, and it seemed as if she feared the prospect of another assassin hiding in the ranks of the guards of the palace, waiting for his rily stated; ”How is it possible for an assassin to be hidden within the guard!? The guards are each vouched for and given background checks to ensure a three-generation-long lineage of association with the palace before being accepted and put into service”
”I don't think the issue lies in” Fan Xian now laughed, and then finished with, ”Can I call him the third brother?”
”You are the elder brother, you can call him whatever you desire”
”I don't think they are intent on har the third brother specifically” Fan Xian explained quietly ”Maybe the assassin would have slain the third brother as well, but it was the Eet You need not worry over his safety Although the crown prince is worried about the power of the family, ood The third brother is still too young, so there is no need for his in the palace was bold, and the person to speak such words would possess a fair a, Yi Gui Pin's face still warped nervously She let out an unnatural laugh
What she worried about thewhat Fan Xian had just told her, she did not worry soto Fan Xian the events that had transpired outside the palace Fan Xian had no idea how the investigation was proceeding, but because Yi Gui Pin's faather a
a lot of accurate inforathered was prettyDian has already been captured”
Fan Xian gave a slight ”hum”, but did not reveal the shock in his heart Yi Gui Pin had used the word ”capture” That overnment had already confirmed his involvement Still, it did not couard, and leader of the ordinary guard, he neglected his duties and was absent during the assassination atteone meant that, at the very least, his career would be buried so deep it would never see the sun again
This is what interested Fan Xian thethe entire tinan, fourteen miles away in Luo Zhou He said his presence there was at the adherence of orders given to hih she was trying to downplay his crime as she spoke, she should not have said that he was following orders If these words reached the E indeed
”And in regards to what he was doing there, the Overwatch Council has been investigating for the past two days and have not found anything out”
Fan Xian took a deep breath and told her, ”I know Gong Dian to be a supremely loyal person, but I did not know that he could be this stupid”
”Hhed He then said, ”If it was not the Eo work in Luo Zhou, then itassassination during his absence; how could he h he was up there, the Emperor would not admit it I am only afraid he will die all the quicker”
Yi Gui Pin was still struggling with Fan Xian's forthwithness and straight-to-the-point mannerisms of speech With a wry snore this matter”
”Correct We do not have the qualifications to care” Fan Xian sighed before continuing ”The Ye fa to suffer much misfortune Has the assassin's identity been revealed yet?”
”The first assassin to fight was that nine-ranked elite who is dead” Yi Gui Pin's eyes looked frightened as she talked ”People say it was the assassin of the Xihu King, Zuo Xian, and that he had already been in the Qing Kingdo intel”
”What does this have to do with Xihu?” Fan Xian asked ”How could people fro? How has their presence gone unnoticed for so long?”
”These Hu people are powerful” Yi Gui Pin then took tianize and articulate how she would best explain this
Fan Xian knew that the assassin as killed by Eunuch Hong's hands was the heir of the ”fake princess” While theyo, he had assudoe was extredom, they sent a collective of peacemakers to the capital Their request for peace, however, was rejected
After that, the tealy No one would have expected that they left an elite in the capital, one who had remained in the shadows all this time, only to take action now
