Gong Dian ment
Fan Xian lowered his head and said, ”That's fineThe E Mountain to not kill if it could be avoided, particularly Chengze”
Gong Dian raised his head in shockHe knew of the news that the Emperor was alive, but it was the first ti to Fan Xian on Dong MountainIf the Emperor truly wanted to leave the Second Prince his life, that would be a great stroke of fortune
Everyone in Dingzhou liked Ling'er very 'er mourned as if her heart had died in the zhou ar now that the Second Prince didn't have to die, and Ye Ling'er didn't have to be a , it was easier to break to her
Fan Xian sighed in his heartThinking now of the E Mountain, only now did he understand that the Emperor had already calculated confidently that he would return to the capital and the Eldest Princess, leading the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, would be sure to fallThat hy he had purposely reminded him to leave the Second Prince his life
Leaving the Second Prince a life was actually leaving Ye Ling'er a reat meritorious service, a sliver of faceIf the Second Prince abruptly died, as Ye Ling'er to do? This would be heavily talked aboutHoould the Ye family live?

Although the Eo, Fan Xian still went to the h there was no love lost between hi'er had, after all, called hient, he had to carefully handle the captive princesIf so at the manor, it would be difficult for him to explain it
Without raising his head to see the banner up top, he directly entered the Palace acco watch all aroundEven if the Second Prince still had people in his hands, he couldn't turn into a e

This was Fan Xian's first ti the Second Prince's eHe wondered what the brother—whose personality, appearance, and aura were so siht now
Gong Dian stayed outside the back courtyard as Fan Xian entered aloneThe garden was quiet and secluded, completely unlike the scenery a prince's ht in the roo Prince and his wangfei were still unable to sleep
Entering the roo silently by the table with a distressed look on her faceThere were still tear tracks at the corner of her eyesHer usually bright jade eyes had unexplainable and indescribable tiredness and grievanceMost of it was hidden but unexpressed anger
This wangfei was like an old tiger who could leap forward at anyused by her husband, she had been lied to by her father and thrown out by her clanHoas she to endure this?
A faint sense of pity rose in Fan Xian's heartWalking to her side, he said in an even voice, ”Gong Dian s have cooled down a bit in a few days, you and Chengze will still be in the same place”
Ye Ling'er only now realized that it was him who had come inTheriefShe lowered her head and began to cry soundlessly
Fan Xian had never seen Ye Ling'er subdued and sorrowfulFor a time, he didn't kno to console her
A 'er raised her head and looked at hient in the Palace? Why have you come here?”
”To console you,” Fan Xian replied
Ye Ling'er slowly shook her head
”Don't be so stubbornEven your father can't do anything about thisWhen it comes down to it, if the Second Prince had listened to you fro and joined in on this matter, there wouldn't be this situation today”
Seeing Ye Ling'er's bleak appearance, Fan Xian began to feel angry without reasonThese few years, his attacks against the Second Prince had hidden an unconscious thought of his, which was to use the Overwatch Council and the Eth, cutting off his thoughts for the crownUnexpectedly, the Second Prince's desire for poas powerfulIn addition to the Eldest Princess's clever manipulation, this plan was completely ineffective
Ye Ling'er laughed sorrowfully at herself and said quietly, ”Teacher, naturally, I don't blame you for this matterTo end up in such a situation, it is all down to hi these years, even you couldn't beat back his desireHow could I, a mere woman, convince him?”
”You don't need to persuade me to leave the ive hiardless of what kind of person he is, in the end, we are husband and wifeSince father and the people in o with hisPresu an Emperor in that desolate place”
Fan Xian's heart ju'er's cal voice, he said, ”I will tell you clearly that on Dong Mountain, the Eze will not die”
Hearing these words, Ye Ling'er abruptly raised her headA glimmer of hope and unexpected joy appeared in her eyesIt i Fan Xian
Ye Ling'er shook her head and sighed quietly”Everyone says that he is outwardly warm, but inside he is indifferent and heartlessActually, these words are not wrongEven his mother in the Palace is respectful toward himIn his life, when had he felt true warmth? Not only is he heartless toward others, but he is also very cold and severe to himself”
”I am his wifeI have to know him a bit better than you outsidersYou have no idea how proud a person he is in his heart and how he holds himself responsibleThe coainst himEven if father leaves hi?”
She raised her head and looked at Fan Xian with a helpless and broken-hearted expression”After returning to the le wordI know he is already thinking about deathIf, at this time, even I left, then everyone in the world will have abandoned hio very simply”
Fan Xian took a deep breath and said straightforwardly, ”Where is he?”
…
Fan Xian took a deep breath and said straightforwardly, ”Where is he?”
…
…
Second Prince Lil Chengze was crouched on a chair, holding a bundle of grapes in his hands and bringing theht Fan Xian had seen countless timesNow, the Second Prince's hair was disheveled and untiedThere was an indiscernible expression on his handsohtly upturned as if he was sHis entire person appeared to be dejected
”If you died, ill look after Lady Shu in her old age? What about wangfei?” Fan Xian sat down across from him and said as calmly as possibleHe looked flatly at the other person, as if he was looking at another him
Fan Xian and the Second Prince's te that had long spread in JingdouAlthough the two clearly looked different, when they sat across froh a mirror
Fan Xian looked at the other person and thought to himei, if mine and the Second Prince's identity were switched, all I would be able to do would probably be to sit on a chair and eat grapes
The Second Prince seehtly, he said, ”Can I still survive?”
Unwillingly, Fan Xian repeated the Emperor's edict
The Second Prince s, trapped for the rest of my life in the manorOne day in the future, as father nears his death and before a new Emperor rises, the Ye faranted deathDo you think that if I survive, my future like will be like this?”
Fan Xian was silent
”Since it is so, why should I be a burden on Ling'er or on that shaed”Further like this”
Fan Xian said, ”Looks like your lofty aspirations have already been extinguished”
The Second Prince suddenly halted the rapes to his lipsThe smile on his face was just as sweetHe looked at Fan Xian and faintly said, ”Thinking of it now, the words you said in the teashop in front of Baoyue Brothel were rightThese two years, you've alanted to strike downback over our relations, I have to thank you”
”Speaking of which, it is quite strangeI had always thought that aunt and father-in-laould help est enelimmer of sincerity for me”
The Second Prince sighed in admiration”You are truly an odd one of the Li familyThe Mistress of the Ye family was indeed just as uncommon as in the rumors”
”Andwith tears streaht that my calculations were beyond that of others, that I had countless people standing in support behind me, and that the throne was only just around the cornerHoas I to know that father had arranged everything, and I, this clever person, wasn't even as good as a pawn, not even as good as that coward ChengqianI can't do anythingI don't have any ideasI am just like a weak childI only kno to stupidly watch everything happening”
As the Second Prince raged, his voice grew higher and higherIt was unclear what he was angry about, but it was clear that it wasn't targeted at Fan XianPerhaps he was angry that ever since his youth, his father had put him in the position of a whetstone, forced, step by step, to where he was todayPerhaps he was angry at Ye Zhong's heartless defectionPerhaps he was angry at hi born within the Royal Palace
Fan Xian was silentFrom Wan'er, he knew that this Second Prince, who had she been close to since childhood, had the nicknaround by the Emperor with the sword of imperial power for so many years would involuntarily be is
”What a at hihed loudly and said, ”I am a joke!”
Fan Xian wanted to say that it seemed that everyone in the world was a jokeHowever, these words didn't co Second Prince said the word ”joke,” he spat out a rapesWhy? Faced with his sons shocked inquiry, Minister Fan did not continue this topicHe sht in the Palace? Fan Xian replied, The Great Prince is keeping watch with injuries, the eqian has already been shut in the Eastern PalaceThere shouldnt be a problelihed in adht daysI have to say, to be able to hold down Jingdou for the Emperor in such circumstances, you have improved beyond h he had received praise from his father, Fan Xian did not feel any joy in his heartSht desperately in Jingdou, but ould have thought that the Ezhou army had not defected in the end, it would have been i for him to finish, Fan Jian waved his hand and stopped him The Ees farIt is not souess atThe tone of these words revealed a trace of unnaturalnessHe continued to speak and sighed, As for the Ye family, it was truly out of everyones expectationsWho would have thought that after years of pressure, they were the Emperors hidden pawns? He looked at Fan Xian and revealed a slight cultured s the attack in the valley a year and a half ago was right, and I rongFan Xian was silentAfter the attack in the valley last year, he and his father had once analyzed the proble crossbowsAfter the matter, they kneas the old Qin familys action, but they had once wondered if the EFroan to talk about the distribution of various do these 20 years, other than Ye Zhong, who had always been the Co both the Commander of the Imperial Army and Co DianAt that time, Fan Xian suspected that pointSince the Emperor had shown such trust in the Ye family, ould he force the Ye family to join hands with the Second Prince and lean toward the Eldest Princess? However, Fan Jian had given hiht it reasonable, so he had let go of this suspicionUnexpectedly, the truth of this suspicion, the truth behind the Emperors silent tolerance of many suspicious and weak points, was finally revealed in the chaos in JingdouThe Ee mazeNot only had it confused the Eldest Princess and everyone in the world, it had even thoroughly fooled Fan Jian, a trusted confidant ho of the attack in the valley, the sight of the white snow that day, red blood, heads in front of the Bureau of Military Affairs, as well as his arrogance, all rose involuntarily before his eyesHe couldnt help but laugh bitterlyHe thought about how childish and laughable his arrogance that day was in front of the Emperor and Eldest PrincessHis heart movedHe opened his mouth to ask, Father, Ive always had a questionWhy did Qin Ye betray the Emperor? This was not just his questionThis was many peoples questionHowever, the battle for imperial power, for control of the world, made everyone assume that the Qin familys betrayal was like every internal conflict in the history booksIt was inevitable and rightFan Xian had heard the Eldest Princesss words before her deathA poisonous flower blooan to pay particular attention to this questionAlthough the Qin fa family and secretly commanded the Jiaozhou Navy to massacre the island, for an elder of the h for the EhtlyBut, only as long as he remained absolutely loyal to the EmperorWhat kind of creature was the Emperor? If he had ever suspected Qin Yes loyalty, how could he allow him to stay in the position as Minister of the Bureau of Military Affairs for so many years? These years, the old Qin master had constantly said he was sick and didnt come into court, yet the position of Minister had never been made emptyHe spoke about this confusion out loudFan Jian didnt think before saying coldly and directly, Also on the day of the attack in the valley, I had once said the empresss fathers head had been chopped off by meWho knows if those heads that should have been taken off were completely done soFan Xians heart trembledHe understood what his father meantThe Qin family stood on the Eldest Princesss side in the rebellionPerhaps they were also involved in his oAt that ti had been ency situation in the North, and Ye Zhong had gone with the backup troops to be stationed in Dingzhou to hold the fort for the EhtlyHowever, at the ti old court precedent and in his position as Minister of the Bureau of Military Affairs, controlled the headquarters of douIf it was said that he participated in the rebellion in Jingdou, no one would think it was strangeIf the old Qin Master had been one of the original culprits responsible for killing Ye Qinght that ran red with blood four years later, when the edou purged, as the Qin fa, and his father joined hands to avenge hisFan Xians questioning gaze, Fan Jian slowly said, The problem was that there was never any evidence that clearly said the Qin faer, at most, it was a crihtlyChen Pingping had once said this hier was probably not athis matter critically with his father, Fan Xian suddenly realized that Director Chen probably thought differently and had endless suspicions about the role the Qin family had once playedThe person who could best prove Chen Pingpings thoughts about the Qin fa GeSuch a dangerous figure ished to wipe out the entire Qin faht hiWhy did he do that? Was it for when he fell out with the Qin farew from the botto though, participated in the killing of Ye Qing of this, a streak of coldness began to surge out of the depths of his body, seeping out of countless pores in his body, uessed countless times and come close to the truth, but he didnt dare askHe didnt even dare ask Chen PingpingFurther had distanced hiive him any chance to open his mouthThere had always been a knot in Fan Xians heartHe had always quietly turned his attention toward Northern Qi, feeling a natural fear toward the Qing Kingdole and reveal the inky truth insideThus, he fell silentShtly at his father, he said, If the Qin family actually participated in the matter, it could be said that they had received their retribution todayHe worried that this father would follow this line of thought and think of the things he secretly feared earlierHe rushed to open histo the capital in the next few daysEarlier, the court had been preparing his funeralto turn around so quicklyFan Xian ssWhat needs is there for you to be concerned? Fan Xian shrugged and didnt say anything limmer of confusion on his faceThe atePresudou who had survived were silent in their residencesNo one had thought the E Mountain aliveIn their shock, they also thought of the Ye familys defeated move, as well as a number of waterproof plans in the rebellionAll of the officials respect and fear of the Emperor had been raised to a level that had never been reached beforeFan Xian looked at his silent father and rose to say a fewthe study, he walked toward the back garden bordering the street to see WanerAlong the way, the evening breeze was as cold as water as it washed over his faceUnexpectedly, a wave of joy ca the injury in his body, and thought blankly about Chen Pingpings letting go of the attack in the valleyBecause of this severance, it was no wonder that the old cripple was theclearly, yet he carefully hid the truth fros aloneHe even used this severance to maintain his own peace after the eventFan Xian had been learning froNow, he could only be silentHis father was going to quit his post and return houesses sink hidou and be unable to extricate himself? For the sake of each others safety, both had to severOnly this was truly love, like how Chen Pingping loved hiAt this dou happilyOccasionally, he gave an order to have the Overwatch Council cooperate with the Edou before the EhtHowever, soht was already darkFan Xian still hadnt had the time to see his wifeSo Gong Dian at the door, he sucked in a deep breath and pushed down the irritation in his heartBowing, he said, Sir GongEarlier, he and his father had been discussing this man in the studyThey knew that he was one of the people the E Dians opinion, Sir Fan junior was the person closest to the Ehly of himself, he bowed as a person of lower status and said in a heavy voice, There is a matter I must trouble you withFan Xian was one of the Dukes and could accept such a bowFurthermore, in the days before the EentHowever, hearing the word trouble, he knew that it would be a big troubleHis head couldnt help but start hurtingToo douPlus, Fan Xian was not in a very good radually returning within the cityHe had to rest and thinkHe wasnt happy about being disturbedFan Xian forcefully suppressed the irritation in his heartLooking at hi Dian looked at him and seemed to hesitate and feel aardEven when he had chopped toward thetens of thousands of rebel soldiers during the day, he had not looked to be in such a difficult situationFan Xian also didnt say anything and only looked at hi Dian sed and said, Please, will you cothese words, Fan Xian i the day, he had been busy killing and rescuing people and had coht was dark, people were quiet, and the sht of afollowed the EesThe Commander has left the capital in pursuit and orderedyang Gate for a long tiht, he idou, probably only Fan Xian had the right to handle the matters of the royal fazhous face and had straightforwardly spoken of the proble Dian and allowed hi in his eyes, but itDian feel an involuntary wave of unease and shaOf all the people still alive in this matter, it was probably the worse for Waner and her best friend Ye LingerHis wife hurt over the death of her er would probably not reduceWhen Ye Linger had married the Second Prince, it could truly be considered willing and voluntaryNo one had guessed that this e was just one step in the plan between the Eer couldnt even be considered a pawnShe had only paid out her e chip in the Ye fas had come to a head, only noould she abruptly realize that her father had been trying to defeat her husbandOf course, her husband was using her to control the Dingzhou arht of the Eldest Princesss last words before she diedAll the hteousness such as reputation, power, and the so-called unified worldThey really werent anythingPerhaps this included hiHe developed countless feelings of disgust toward Ye Zhong, who had sold his daughterGong Dian seeHis expression was very unnaturalFan Xian shook his head and said, The Second Prince is also shut up in the mentFan Xian lowered his head and said, Thats fineThe E Mountain to not kill if it could be avoided, particularly ChengzeGong Dian raised his head in shockHe knew of the news that the Emperor was alive, but it was the first ti to Fan Xian on Dong MountainIf the Emperor truly wanted to leave the Second Prince his life, that would be a great stroke of fortuneEveryone in Dingzhou liked Linger very er mourned as if her heart had died in the zhou ar now that the Second Prince didnt have to die, and Ye Linger didnt have to be a , it was easier to break to herFan Xian sighed in his heartThinking now of the E Mountain, only now did he understand that the Emperor had already calculated confidently that he would return to the capital and the Eldest Princess, leading the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, would be sure to fallThat hy he had purposely re the Second Prince a life was actually leaving Ye Linger a reat meritorious service, a sliver of faceIf the Second Prince abruptly died, as Ye Linger to do?
