"Fourth brother, something happened. Ye Fan hurriedly ran to the Guangwang Mansion, and as soon as he entered the mansion, he happened to see Ye Lan carving a piece of jade in the courtyard, and hurriedly ran to him.

"What's wrong?" Ye Lan glanced up at him, then fell on the jade again.

"King Xichang was imprisoned. Ye Shu didn't know when he bought off Tong Yuan beside him, what should he do now?" Ye Fan asked anxiously.

"What did the emperor say?" Ye Lan put down the jade and listened carefully to Ye Fan's words.

The two sides insisted on their own words, and the father put the king of Xichang in prison and kept Yeshu in the East Palace. ”

"Ye Shu is not a fool, he naturally won't sit still, why did he go to meet his father so quickly?" Ye Lan said.

Ye Ji was impatient, so he took the first step. Yefan explained.

"Now the safety of King Xichang needs to be guaranteed the most. Yelan got up, "Keep an eye on Ye Shu and Nan Xuanji." ”

"Okay, I'll go. Yefan nodded.

"Wait. Yelan stopped him, "In addition, we need to find some more favorable evidence to convict Ye Shu." Now that Ye Shu has taken precautions, he must be brought down as soon as possible, otherwise once he destroys the evidence, things will not be easy. ”

"The fourth brother is saying that we can only strike first now, catch him off guard, and take care of himself, so that he will not act further. "Ye Fan Dao.

"Exactly. If Tong Yuan can be bought back, things will be easier. Yelan said.

"Okay, I made a note of that. Ye Fan hurriedly clenched his fists and left the Guangwang Mansion quickly.

After Ye Fan left, Ye Lan called Ming Xu and said to him, "Send a few people to secretly assist Ye Fan, and then send a few people to keep an eye on Nan Xuanji and Nangong Ying." ”

"Good. ”

......

The prison of the Criminal Department

"Your Excellency King Xichang, let's eat something first. Nan Xuanji personally delivered food to Shen Kuo.

Shen Kuo glanced at him indifferently, silently took the chopsticks and ate them.

"Why don't you take refuge in the crown prince and choose King Yi?" Nan Xuanji sneered.

"The prince already has Nan Daren by his side, won't I get in the way of Nan Daren's eyes in the past?" Shen Kuo seemed to smile.

"King Xichang's words are wrong. Nan Xuanji shook his head, "The court's conspiracy is not what I want to dabble into. After completing what the prince explained, I should also withdraw from the court and return to the rivers and lakes. ”

"It's a pity ......" A strange light flashed in Nan Xuanji's eyes.

Shen Kuo suddenly covered his abdomen, spitting blood from his mouth, his eyes widened, staring directly at Nan Xuanji.

"You!"

"Don't blame me. Nan Xuanji sneered.

"How dare you..."Shen Kuo grabbed Nan Xuanji's neck with the last breath of strength.

"It wasn't the prince who did it. Nan Xuanji smiled, "Maybe you can't think of it." This matter was instructed by the emperor. ”

"What..."Shen Kuo said incredulously.

"The crown prince has this intention, but if it weren't for the emperor's instructions, I wouldn't dare to kill you here. Nan Xuanji said, "The king of Xichang holds the power of the army, and the emperor can't tolerate it." This time, I just borrowed the prince's hand to get rid of you. ”

Shen Kuo's face turned pale, and a large stream of black blood flowed out of Shen Kuo's mouth, he finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell, his eyes were still wide before he died.

"Rest in peace. It's just that you didn't watch out. Nan Xuanji gently brushed Shen Kuo's eyes with his hand and closed his eyes. When he was done, he stood up and said coldly to the outside, "Pass my word." King Xichang committed suicide in prison and reported the matter to the emperor for a decision. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

When Ye Fan rushed to the criminal department with the government soldiers, Nan Xuanji happened to come out of it.

"Why is His Royal Highness King Qi here?" Nan Xuanji frowned.

"What about King Xichang?" Ye Fan said hurriedly.

"Just now the ministers went to deliver food, and the king of Xichang has committed suicide in prison. Nan Xuanji said calmly.

"Lord Nan is so bold!" Ye Fan scolded angrily, "You dare to kill King Xichang privately!"

"His Royal Highness King Qi. Nan Xuanji put his mouth close to Ye Fan's ear, "This matter... It was acquiesced by the emperor. ”

Ye Fan's pupils shrank and opened, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.

"Otherwise, how can I be allowed to watch King Xichang. Nan Xuanji smiled.

Ye Fan clenched his fists, his face flushed, but in the end he endured it and did not have a seizure.

At this time, King Yi Yejie also arrived with his men and horses.

"It's really lively. Nan Xuanji smiled and walked in silently.

"Where's the King of Xichang?" asked Ye Ji, grabbing one of the guards of the Criminal Department.

Ye Fan turned his head, he saw Shen Anran's thin body, and his heart trembled slightly.

"King Xichang is dead. Ye Fan said lightly.

Ye Ji didn't say a word and ran over and stared at him, "What did you say!"

"Don't ask. "Ye Fan Dao.

Shen Anran heard their conversation, her body trembled slightly, tears couldn't stop flowing down, and finally she couldn't bear the blow and fainted.

Ye Ji hurriedly ran to support Shen Anran. Ye Fan instinctively wanted to stretch out his hand, but finally restrained it with his will.

Ye Ji glanced at him, didn't say anything, picked up Shen Anran and left first.

......

"Lord. The dark shadow saluted the night.

"Is King Xichang still saved?" Ye Fan asked.

"This matter is indeed the acquiescence of His Majesty. The Shadow said.

"Why!" Ye Fan was furious.

"King Xichang has military power in his hands, if he takes refuge in King Yi, King Yi is like a tiger with wings, and it is easy to seize the throne. The Shadow said.

"But isn't Ye Shu? Nan Xuanji Nangong Ying is his cousin, and Fan Bozhong supports him. Ye Fan was emotional, and his fingertips sank deep into the flesh, dripping blood.

"It's not that it can't be saved. The dark shadow said suddenly.

"What do you mean. Yefan looked at him.

"Before Nan Xuanji took the medicine, I secretly changed his medicine. Now the poison taken by King Xichang is not fatal, but he will die without an antidote within three days. The Shadow said.

"That is to say, as long as the 'corpse' of King Xichang can be transported to the mansion, there is hope. Yefan said eagerly.

"The Lord can request that the king of Xichang be buried as soon as possible. The Shadow suggested.

"Okay, I got it. Ye Fan nodded, "You came to see me, is my father suspicious?"

"Rest assured, Lord, I have always acted in secrecy and will not let the emperor's people find out. The Shadow said.

"Don't meet again during this time, it's hard. "Ye Fan Dao.

"The subordinates retired. The shadow flickered, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared again.

......

Yiwang Mansion

"His Royal Highness King Qi. King Yi's guards stopped Ye Fan, and Ye Fan said to him with a calm face, "Inform King Yi, I have something important to discuss with him." ”

"This ......" The guard hesitated a little, he glanced at his companion, and finally nodded, "Okay, please wait for His Royal Highness King Qi." ”

After a while, the guards came out and said to Ye Fan, "King Yi is invited." ”

Ye Fan quickly walked into King Yi's mansion, and at this time, Ye Fan was taking care of her in Shen Anran's bedroom.

Ye Fan came in and glanced at Shen Anran who was lying on the bed, and a soft light flashed in his eyes.

Ye Ji tucked the quilt for Shen Anran, and got up to look at Ye Fan.

"What's the matter with you?" asked Nightshade.

"I can save King Xichang. Ye Fan said, "But I need the help of His Royal Highness King Yi." ”

"Can you really save King Xichang?" Ye Ji skeptical.

Ye Fan smiled slightly, "Second brother, you know my grudge against Ye Shu. His mother killed my mother, and even though I am not very friendly with you, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and I don't think you will understand this truth. ”

"That's a good point. Yeji nodded.

"So I saved King Xichang, it's only good for me, why can't we cooperate?" Ye Fan smiled.

"What are you going to do?" asked Yaji.

"I have the antidote to the king of Xichang, but this antidote needs to be taken within three days, otherwise the king of Xichang will definitely die. "Ye Fan Dao.

"So I want you to go into the palace to meet your father and ask that King Xichang be buried as soon as possible. As long as the body of King Xichang is transported out of the palace, there is a way to save him. ”

"Okay, I promise you. Yeji nodded. "I'll go to the palace now. ”

"After transporting the body of King Xichang, I will leave the matter to me, and you are responsible for finding a fake corpse. "Ye Fan Dao.

Nightshade nodded, then walked away quickly.

Ye Fan stood there quietly, looking at Shen Anran with soft and heart-wrenching eyes, and after a while, he left.
