The Eivable treasonous renegade was Director Chen! Everyone found this infor and unbelievable However, the reality was in front of their eyes Other than feeling unsettled and shocked, the civil officials turned their gazes toward the Overwatch Council They worried faintly whether the court would be able to control that Council under these circumstances
Fortunately, steady information flowed in without end For now, it seemed these officials did not need to worry too , after the incident exploded, various ministers and dukes, as well as a few elders of the Hall of Governmental Affairs, all rushed to the Royal Palace After a few hours, they left the Palace and began to deal with state affairs anew, leaving behind only Hu the Scholar to wait in the Royal Palace

In less than four hours, the various ya court, with the Supreme Court as the leader, drafted up a nu and sent it to the Royal Palace However, it was iry and heavily injured Emperor was not satisfied with the crimes these civil officials had drafted
The E to die easily Since Chen Pingping thought that he stood in a glorious and righteous platfore, the E suffered a corace and would die with endless humiliation and criminal offenses
It was a difficultmade these court officials sink into a panicked state However, the Emperor' strict orders remained No one dared to offer any objection They could only pile, with tre bodies, the crihout the annals of history onto Chen Pingping
Once the 13 great cri had finally beco the evilest and ivable official, the Palace finally sent a word of approval It was clear that Chen Pingping would not escape the punish happened quickly Other than shock, all of the court officials could not help but feel slightly suspicious If there really was a case of treason, once it was investigated, it would probably take a number of years If Director Chen was the main culprit, he would not be killed so easily Furthermore, the number of officials ould be implicated in this matter of treason would probably be in the thousands
However, the injured Eping's person and did not seem to want this matter to iuessed the Emperor's intentions They could not help but feel an i to the extre to the law and kill him in front of the eyes of tens of millions of co court to speed up the process of this affair was because Chen Pingping was no longer just Chen Pingping He represented the Overwatch Council The new Director of the Overwatch Council, the powerful Sir Fan junior, was, at this yi
If it were an ordinary official, presuht coldly and cruelly wait for hi die in front of hi heart However, Chen Pingping was not an ordinary official The power he held in his hands was too great It was to the point that the Qing Kingdom had to consider its future Most iiti, it was impossible to release the hatred in the Emperor's heart However, the Emperor had to finish all of this before Fan Xian returned to Jingdou and turn thisturned around
…
…
The entire court kept busy because of the shocking assassination case in the early hours of thein the royal study In the south of the city, the Fan manor with stone lions outside that watched the world with cold and disdainful eyes was sunk in a strange silence
It was just past noon The news of the attempted assassination of the E had not yet been sent to the prison of the Overwatch Council, yet an edict announcing eunuch, accouards and iht to the Fan manor's front doors
Without any incense or cere lunch in the Flower Hall, listened to the eunuch's words Their faces immediately turned white As the mistress, Lin Wan'er slowly rose and said, as she stared at the eunuch, ”Repeat that again?”
The eunuch knew very well that the E to be treated in the palace However, faced with Princess Chen's cold-voiced inquiry, he did not becory In a hurried voice, he repeated what he said
A shocked expression flashed through Lin Wan'er's eyes She unconsciously turned her head to glance at her sister-in-law by her side Fan Ruoruo's face was very pale Presue would have the saardless of whether it was the E, whose life and death was unknown, they were both too deeply and closely connected to the Fan manor It was impossible to separate from
Lin Wan'er knehat sort of affection her husband had toward Chen Pingping But, after all, the Emperor was Fan Xian's father and her own uncle
Fan Ruoruo put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand and looked at her sister-in-law Gently biting her lower lip, she did not speak Her fingers treradually caler?”
Hearing Princess Chen's question, he could only shake his head with fear The eunuch knew no details He could not even enter the palace the E in It was i His trip was only by Com lady of the Fan lanced at Fan Ruoruo, who lowered her head slightly She did not think about anything before standing up and saying lightly, ”I'll go into the Palace”
After saying this, Fan Ruoruo left the dinner table and followed the eunuch and soldiers out of the Fan manor Her chuan Road, so they had to detour there first
Watching her sister-in-law's figure disappear through the gates of the manor, thick worry and unease rose in Lin Wan'er's eyes To the wife of the Teng fa to the side, she said, ”Send a few clever servants to wait outside the palace If there's any news, have the fa major had happened She maintained a solemn expression as she replied and then prepared to leave and arrange things She then heard thecoive him”
The expression on Lin Wan'er's face was cautious Other than nervousness, there waselse She was deep in the Fan manor and had no idea what chaos had exploded outside She had even less idea of what exactly had happened in the Royal Palace Why had Director Chen suddenly returned to Jingdou and was inside the royal study? What exactly had happened between the Edou rebellion three years ago, she knew that the cold-hearted Eive Director Chen any chance to live But, she knew that if Fan Xian was in Jingdou now, he would not just watch and do nothing as this happened
Since she knehat Fan Xian's stance would be, she knew that the Fan erous With one misstep, it would be an end without any hope of reprieve
She glanced at Sisi next to her and quietly ordered, ”When Teng Zijing arrives in a e and Liangzi and hide for a while in the country estate outside of the capital”
Sisi was not surprised by this arrangement After all, she was one of the four servants Fan Xian had taught personally Although she had been by thewith family and clan affairs, she had not lost that sensitivity Particularly when it caer to that When she had been pregnant with Fan Xian's first child, it had been during the tense dou rebellion The old ed for her to hide in Chen Garden
Chen Garden? Sisi looked at theently nodded her head ”For such a major matter, who can turn it around? Don't talk now Go pack and leave the ates should already be closed,” Sisi rehtly closed off I'”
During these years, Fan Xian's one wife and one concubine had sorted clan affairs, fazhou Conference on Fan Xian's behalf These toether well Their irew deeper and deeper Lin Wan'er was the one who caht what she missed and corrected any errors
Lin Wan'er also handed her own son to Sisi take with her She trusted her greatly Her brows knitted together slightly as she said, ”That is e have to hurry”
As she said this, an Overwatch Council official wearing black official robes appeared outside the Flower Hall Earlier, Lin Wan'er had already secretly notified the Qinian Unit member who protected her, so she was not surprised at his appearance Approaching the railing of the Flower Hall, she looked at him and worriedly said, ”You already knohat happened Immediately send someone to the outskirts of the Overwatch Council to see what is happening Thento take them away”
The member of the Qinian Unit nodded heavily As a subordinate of the Overwatch Council, his current emotions were unusually heavy and shocked However, he knew that the young mistress' orders were unusually clear The Overwatch Council would certainly be heavily surrounded It would be difficult to esture behind him A ements Lin Wan'er looked at hi If they run into Fan Xian on the road…” Her brows furrowed
Thefor her final decision
”Tell him what happened” A decisiveness flashed across Lin Wan'er's face ”Just say, Director Chen… is about to die”
The person sighed and glanced at her gratefully, He then left to prepare everything The Fan manor burst into ordered activity There was only Lin Wan'er left alone in the Flower Hall She thought about what had happened today and suddenly felt a gust of cold wind froed the affairs of the Fan fazhou Conference and clan affairs At the height of her youth, Lin Wan'er already felt like the iven out, the people of the Fan arden in the rear residence, Lin Wan'er took the eldest daughter and little son from the nanny and pressed two hard kisses to their faces before ree beginlowered his voice and said, ”I' the capital at this tilanced at hiuard, as absolutely loyal to the Fan family, had been shocked by the assassination in the Royal Palace, he still thought that her reaction was too strong She shook her head and said, ”Although it is conspicuous, it is best to leave as early as possible”
There was one thing that she did not explain to Teng Zijing Although the Qinian Unit had already sent so and the journey was far She was afraid that by the ti would have already died on the execution ground She ell aware of the eentle exterior Who knehat extreme reaction Fan Xian would have at that time?
Since she predicted that Fan Xian would react fiercely, her reaction now appeared tense and urgent
”Don't o into the Palace in a while to have a look” Lin Wan'er inclined her head slightly at hie that had not gone far
Lin Wan'er returned to the uards in the Fan manor in the shortest possible tis they should be careful about, particularly strictly forbidding any discussions in private
Although she had always been known to be simple- solidified her reputation in the dou, no one knew that the Fan manor was one of the centers of chaos The servants all pro to lie
Lin Wan'er sloept her gaze across and roughly calculated the forces she could mobilize There were not many members of the Qinian Unit left in the manor Most were swordsmen of the Sixth Bureau However, these people needed to ensure the safety of the Fan one to the old Lin Manor to bury crickets With such ahiently waved her hand to summon the member of the Qinian Unit Quietly, she said, ”Also, send so It's just to h no news had coiven her Uncle E would certainly be suppressed by powerful military forces But, the First Bureau was close to the Supre Lin Wan'er had done was actually in preparation for Fan Xian She knew that once he returned to the capital, the thing he needed to know the h she didn't want Fan Xian to take such a risk or go crazy, if her husband really were to go crazy, as his wife, she could only make so all of these arrangehtly closed and strictly forbid any cos unless an edict arrived Only then did Lin Wan'er relax a little and sat down in the long prepared carriage She drove out of the streets in the south of the city and headed north, toward the expansive Royal Palace that seemed particularly severe today
…
…
The Royal Palace was strictly guarded The density and strength of the patrolling soldiers could not be compared to the usual Everyone wore a tense and severe expression on their faces Although the old Director was already heavily injured and captured, no one felt relaxed
Lin Wan'er got down froates She had grown up in the Royal Palace and was deeply loved by the eer and Emperor, which was an oddity in the Palace In the past, she had moved in and out of the Palace without obstructions Now, she had been forced to stop outside the palace gates
