When the winter snow falls on the bluestone slab, it quickly melts, and it is extremely difficult to accumulate. The snow flakes that fell on the bright yellow glazed tiles were frozen by the cold wind, and they looked like countless broken clouds waiting peacefully in the golden morning light.

Fan Xian withdrew his greedy gaze and admired the snow, followed behind Eunuch Yao with his hands on his shoulders, quietly bypassed the quiet and turning palace wall, and walked towards the depths of the palace surrounded by those vermilion blood. Behind the two of them, more than a dozen guards followed cautiously, at this time Fan Xian was not bound, and the name of the traitor had been set in the will, the guards were very worried, if Lord Xiao Fan suddenly made trouble in the forbidden palace, what ability could these people have to stop him.

But it is obvious that many officials died in Kyoto today, and Fan Xian even ordered the world to be shocked by the imperial city root to kill his subordinate Zhongshu scholars in public, but he had no interest in fighting in the palace, maybe he knew that there were endless masters in this seemingly quiet palace, or maybe because he knew that His Majesty the Emperor in the palace was a high mountain, and before the mountain fell, no matter how much trouble there was in the palace, it was meaningless.

The corner of the eaves of the Taiji Hall moved with the pace of people on the high palace wall, walked through a small door, walked through a snow plum, and a line of silent people came to the front of the imperial study.

Fan Xian waited quietly outside the study, and Eunuch Yao glanced at him with a complicated expression. Hong Zhu, who stepped forward to guard the door of the imperial study, whispered a few words, his face was slightly different, and he turned back and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is waiting for you in Xiaolou." ”

"Xiaolou?" Fan Xian was slightly stunned, his eyes did not fall on Hong Zhu's face, and he did not take the risk of asking with his eyes in front of everyone, but smiled a little reluctantly, and said, "Then let's go." ”

Eunuch Yao waved his hand, stopped the dozen or so inner court guards outside the cobblestone arch, and led Fan Xian into the harem alone. Behind the two of them. The guards could not hide the nervousness and suspicion on their faces, and Hong Zhu, who had been standing honestly at the door of the imperial study, ...... Looking at the back of Master Xiao Fan who walked into the deep palace, an irrepressible sadness suddenly surged in his eyes, and he hurriedly lowered his head, for fear of being seen out of the way by others, but this bowing of his head seemed to be seeing off Fan Xian.

The inner palace after the snow is very quiet, and occasionally you can hear a few laughs coming from the deep palaces everywhere. Fan Xian has good ears, and he can even hear the sound of mahjong falling to the ground from somewhere. He couldn't help laughing, thinking to himself that those things in Kyoto must not have reached the palace today. The big guys are quite happy, but the palace doesn't seem to be so lively in the past, and those show girls who have been in the palace for a few months, and now the concubines, are really young, diluting the loneliness.

Fan Xian likes this, lest this palace is always cold. Gloomy and gloomy.

The palace is very familiar to him, it is as familiar as home, His Majesty the Emperor is waiting for him in the small building, he naturally knows the way, still carrying his hands like a Confucian student, and marching towards the northwest corner of the palace without hurrying or slow, but Eunuch Yao fell behind him instead.

It's already at this time, no matter how anxious it is, presumably His Majesty the Emperor won't be in a hurry. It just so happens that the palace is a big place, and the air is cold. There is already snow on the rockery of Dongshu Xiaohu, which is much more beautiful than the winter scene in the palace, and Fan Xian can just take a second look, but he walks steadily step by step, and the eyesight of Eunuch Yao behind him has some other taste.

Eunuch Yao sensed that Lord Xiao Fan in front of him was pranayama, and he was relying on his body to correspond to the surrounding environment, and let his realm advance to a certain sensitive and abundant level.

Eunuch Yao's head was lowered, and he knew that Lord Xiao Fan was walking slowly step by step, breathing. For what.

Walking through the winter tree garden, bypassing the rockery, walking on the wooden stack on the cold lake, and about to cross the cold lake over the snow pavilion, which was also in the snow back then. The Snow Pavilion where I had a long talk with His Majesty. Fan Xian suddenly stopped, his eyes narrowed slightly.

There are people under the snow pavilion. Several eunuchs and palace maids were accompanying a noble-looking woman to enjoy the snow there, and there may have been a stove in the pavilion, but the nobleman was still wearing a very precious and warm mink robe. After being stunned for a moment, Fan Xian smiled and continued to walk towards the pavilion, he didn't expect that in such a cold weather, he would actually bump into a concubine in the palace.

Entering the palace today, he will not go to see Concubine Yi, nor will he go to see Ning Cairen and Concubine Shu in the cold palace, and even deliberately avoided, so he chose this plank road above the cold lake, but he still ran into one. Naturally, he wouldn't hide, and Eunuch Yao followed behind him, so naturally he didn't dare to speak out and let him choose another path.

As soon as the two entered the pavilion, those people in the pavilion were taken aback, obviously they didn't expect that at this moment, there would be outsiders entering the palace. The sharp-eyed palace maid saw Gonggong Yao with his head bowed behind Fan Xian, and hurriedly half-squatted to salute, secretly guessing the identity of the young gentleman in front of her head.

Fan Xian stood in the pavilion, and he was also surprised in his heart, secretly thinking that in a few months, why did the palace maid in this palace change a child, and he didn't even know himself? Thinking like this in his heart, his eyes subconsciously fell on the concubine sitting in the center, and refused to leave for a long time.

This concubine is about fifteen or sixteen years old, and her appearance is still young and beautiful, but today she wears a ring, looks good with makeup, and dresses luxuriously, which shows a bit of nobility and arrogance. With an irrepressible pride in her eyes, the concubine looked at Gonggong Yao and asked, "Is Your Majesty available for lunch?"

Father-in-law Yao didn't respond, just smiled, thinking that it was really not a good choice to play a favored role at this time. These people in the pavilion suddenly felt a little weird, especially after noticing the young man's gaze, they felt extremely angry, and secretly wondered where such a bastard thing came from.

Fan Xian looked at the concubine's slightly bulging lower abdomen in a daze. Although he was wearing very heavy fur outside, he could still see it clearly. He immediately knew that the noble man sitting in the pavilion enjoying the snow in front of him was Concubine Mei, who was now being favored, and it was this woman who was pregnant with His Majesty's dragon species.

There was a dead silence in the pavilion, and Fan Xian quietly looked at Concubine Mei's lower abdomen, looking at it for a long time, and the expression in his eyes was very complicated. However, this kind of ** stares at His Majesty's land nakedly. Especially if the location is this one, it's really quite rude.

"Where did the bastard come from, where did those thief eyes go?" A palace maid who was not too old stared at Fan Xian and reprimanded him sharply, looking at that appearance, she was ready to step forward and slap Fan Xian immediately. This palace maid is a girl brought in by Concubine Mei from outside the palace, these days the lord is noble with the son, the servant is noble with the master, and she is so arrogant and proud in the palace, even the lady in the Shufang Palace is also mostly gentle greetings, and has raised a lifetime of arrogance. Where have I seen a man like Fan Xian in the palace.

Fan Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the palace maid who came over with an angry face, and did not move. Eunuch Yao's heart sank, he has been following His Majesty these days, and he hasn't paid much attention to the affairs in the harem, he really didn't expect that the people around Concubine Mei would now be so blind.

There was a crisp slap in the face. Eunuch Yao floated forward, slapped the palace maid to the ground, and then quickly retreated behind Fan Xian, lowered his voice and said humbly: "Little Fan, Your Majesty is still waiting for you." ”

Fan Xian glanced at him with a smile and said, "Why are you so nervous, afraid that I will kill her?"

Eunuch Yao smiled innocently, didn't say anything, thinking that with your step, the killing intent in your body has already reached its peak, and there is no leakage in your body. It's really going to touch an introduction, and the casual anger of this strong person on the ninth grade is not something that anyone can stand with.

The palace maid was directly slapped to the ground, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. The air in the pavilion seemed to be condensed, Concubine Mei looked at this scene dumbfounded, angry and even a little confused, she couldn't understand why Eunuch Yao, the eunuch the head of the inner court, did this, who was this young man, and he dared to kowtow to himself. Dare to stare at yourself so rudely!

Only the eunuchs and palace maids who were serving on the side heard clearly the identity that Gonggong Yao deliberately pointed out in dialogue, and they finally knew that this young scholar who entered the palace alone turned out to be Lord Xiao Fan, who the seniors in the palace never forgot to remind him, and they immediately lowered their heads nervously, not daring to look at each other directly.

Fan Xian calmly looked at Concubine Mei with an angry face. After a pause, he said, "It's freezing." Let's go back to the palace and play mahjong. It's frostbite here, and it's not good for the baby in the belly...... Don't think that Your Majesty will think that you are beautiful when he looks at you in the Snow Pavilion, let alone expect him to love you more, living in this palace is actually very simple, just be honest. ”

His eyes fell on Concubine Mei's stomach again, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, thinking that this time is still short, how can he already show his arms, it seems that Emperor Lao Tzu is really strong in any way, but I don't know if this belly will be his other brother or sister.

"I hope you can give me a sister, I don't have a sister yet. Fan Xian blessed Concubine Mei very seriously and sincerely, and then bypassed the people under the snow pavilion, walked up to the wooden stack on the other side of the lake, and headed towards the northwest corner of the palace.

Concubine Mei struggled so hard that she didn't cry, anger and helplessness piled up in her heart, she subconsciously glanced back at Fan Xian's back, and couldn't help but shudder. After all, it was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl's family, and after hearing the identity of the other party from the last sentence, she was involuntarily a little afraid, since she was pregnant with His Majesty's dragon seed, she was proud on the one hand, and on the other hand, she was also afraid, because she knew what the child in her belly meant to the one in the Shufang Palace, and to the "foreign minister" surnamed Fan.

She didn't think that Fan Xian's last sentence was a blessing, she only listened to this sentence as a warning, but she didn't expect that Fan Xian sincerely hoped that she could give birth to a princess, after all, if she gave birth to a prince, she was afraid that for the rest of her life, she would fall into that dark tumbling and never float again.

Concubine Mei looked at the back that disappeared in the light snow with slight fear, and the fear in her eyes gradually turned into unwillingness and resentment.

Emperor Qing was not in the small building, he was in front of the large abandoned palace in the northwest corner of the palace, looking at the small building. The temple here is sparse, and the winter garden is silent. There are also rockeries, but they have long been dilapidated, and it seems that they have not been repaired for many years, and they are even colder than the cold palaces on the other side.

In front of a barren and long grass, Father-in-law Yao retreated silently. Fan Xian was alone, looking at the bright yellow figure between the small building and the long grass, and walked over quietly, slightly behind one position, just like when he was on the beach in Lanzhou. Accompanied him to look at Xiaolou silently.

The father and son of the monarch and the minister did not remain silent too much, the emperor took his hands behind, quietly watched the small building, his thin lips opened slightly, and asked indifferently: "Did you see Concubine Mei before?"

"Yes. Fan Xian's hands were also behind him, and when he heard His Majesty's question, he answered calmly.

"Do you think she's a man or a woman?" the Emperor asked. At this time, the feeling in the field was very wonderful, their father and son had been in a cold war for several months, and the world was in the world because of the cold war between the two of them, I don't know how many people died, and they met today. But there was no anger and rebuke as outsiders expected, just chatting casually.

"It's supposed to be a princess. ”

"Oh, I always knew that you learned the world, but I didn't know that you would know that you would be able to do these things from your mother-in-law. The corners of the emperor's lips curled slightly, and he said sarcastically.

"I can't talk about learning the world, but I still have some understanding of medical skills, and the most important thing is that the one in Concubine Mei's womb. It can only be a princess. Fan Xian replied respectfully.

"Hmm......" The emperor's brows gradually furrowed, and he said coldly: "In your opinion, I can't raise a guy who is more angry than the third child?"

"No, you can't. Fan Xian responded very simply: "Because Concubine Mei is not as good as Concubine Yi." ”

The emperor was silent for a moment and then said, "This is also reasonable, but the blood of the Heavenly Family is thin, and it is always good to have one more prince." ”

"If Your Majesty has mercy, it will naturally be good for Daqing to have more princes in the future. Fan Xian didn't say exactly what pity was, but lowered his eyes slightly, and said directly: "Otherwise, if there is one more Cheng Qian, Cheng Ze will come, and it will not be interesting." ”

As soon as this statement came out. The emperor's face sank quickly, Fan Xian mentioned the second prince of the crown prince, although the dismal ending of these two princes was manipulated by him, but I have to say that His Majesty the Emperor actually took a too cold-blooded and wrong path for the cultivation of his sons at the beginning, about this, if the emperor who has gradually aged does not have a trace of feeling in his heart, it is absolutely fake.

Fan Xian stood behind Emperor Xiao Suo's figure, calmly paying attention to every subtle change in His Majesty. found the faint pain in the other party's heart, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no one in this world is a real god, even if he is as powerful as the other party, after stepping off the dragon chair. gradually walked on the road of an ordinary old man.

The changes of Emperor Qing over the years have always fallen in the eyes of Fan Xian. It was precisely because he knew this that he had the courage to come to the palace today. Say these words to the other person.

These words were like knives, cutting the emperor's center of the earth, and then His Majesty was not He Zongwei after all, but after a while, the emperor's face turned back into the eternal Dongshan cliff, which was as warm as jade, but in fact it was rugged and sharp, disdainful of storms.

"He Zongwei is dead?" the emperor asked slowly.

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"You have been thinking hard in the house for seven days and seven nights, and I was thinking about what you could do to move me, but I didn't expect that it would be such nonsense after all. The Emperor shook his head and said mockingly, "You are really disappointed in me. ”

Fan Xian smiled shyly, and responded: "Your Majesty is like a mountain, and there is no obstacle to thousands of years of wind and rain, after all, I am just an ordinary man, no matter how I think about it, it is impossible to come up with a means to make something out of nothing." After all, people's imagination is limited, and no matter how much they think about things that do not exist in the world, they cannot come up with them. ”

This sentence is very sincere, it is indeed Fan Xian's heartfelt words, in the face of His Majesty's eloquent and powerful person, how easy is it to find a way to defeat the other party? It is indeed a possibility that does not exist in this world......

"I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't think of any way, so in the end I figured it out, maybe I was immersed in the Supervision Yuan since I was a child, and I was used to thinking about everything and attacking when I was sure. ”

Fan Xian suddenly raised his face, with a gratifying luster on his delicate face, and said, "However, this time is different, I will never be able to find a sure way...... If you can never think of a good way, why not use the easiest way?"

The simplest way, six simple words, but it contains a deep meaning. What is the easiest way in the world? Naturally, it is to bite with its teeth and tear it with its claws like a wild beast, and engage in the most primitive and bloody hand-to-hand combat.

Fan Xian said this, this is a kind of breakthrough after frustration from the heart, a fierce and ruthless, a kind of indifferent mess that he has never shown, vividly displayed.

His Majesty the Emperor suddenly calmed down, turned around and looked at his son quietly, as if to find something different from this familiar face, and after a while, the Emperor laughed loudly, and there was a little more appreciation in the laughter.

However, the laughter was instantaneous, and His Majesty the Emperor's voice was extremely cold: "Killing ministers in public, treating Qinglu as nothing, this is a reckless and non-heroic means. ”

"Your Majesty is Mingjun, and He Zongwei is a traitor, so He Zongwei must die. Fan Xian suddenly smiled, and calmly said something that neither he nor the emperor would believe, "The people who died today are all officials of the He faction, but if it comes out of Kyoto, the shock to the world must be not small." However, He Zongwei is benevolent and righteous on the surface, but in the dark he is a male thief and a female prostitute, His Majesty is wise and martial, once he discovered this person's bad deeds, he used thunderous means to eliminate treachery and punish evil, such heroic means, how can it be limited by Qinglu?"
