After Mei Yuan was in Guangxin Palace, the environment was extremely quiet, and after passing through Tianxin Terrace, he arrived at Yinfeng Pavilion, which was the place where Lord Xiao Fan was recuperating at this time. Although His Majesty specially left him in the palace to heal, and everyone in the palace knew how much Xiao Fan had done to the royal family this time, there was always a feeling that it was not appropriate for a male minister to live in the palace for a long time. Fan Xian also knew this, so he just stayed in Meiyuan honestly, and always excused the visitors from various palaces because he was unwell.

At this time, a cheerful and innocent lady went up to the Yinfeng Pavilion with a child in her hand, followed by several palace maids.

Fan Xian was slightly stunned, and found that it was Yi Gui Concubine, so he didn't say anything, since he woke up, Yi Gui Concubine took the three princes to sit here every day, one is that everyone is a relative, and the other is that he saved the life of the third child on the hanging temple, and the other party is not good at stopping him on the grounds of this great kindness, and the third is ...... Fan Xian also knew that this lady's plan was very real.

"Auntie, didn't you say you wouldn't use it, why did you bring something today?" he said with a smile.

According to etiquette, he always has to call each other a mother, but when he first entered the palace last year, Concubine Yi liked Fan Xian to call her aunt, and she liked this kind of affectionate title, so Fan Xian no longer insisted. Today, the palace maid behind Concubine Yi is still carrying a few food boxes, and I don't know what they contain.

"Cordyceps simmered soup. Concubine Yi met with the two girls beside him, pulled a pier over without seeing it, sat down next to Fan Xian, and said, "It's not from the palace, it's your family that has been boiled up and let me send it over." ”

Fan Xian sighed. Looking at the palace maids who were busy pouring soup on the side, there was one of them with very familiar eyebrows and eyes, and said with a smile: "Xing'er is also here." ”

Xing'er was the little palace maid who took him to visit the palace when he first entered the palace. She didn't expect that this little Fan still remembered herself, so she couldn't help but blush, and snorted in a voice the size of a mosquito.

It made everyone laugh, and Yi Guifei scolded with a smile: "I hurt like this, and I don't forget ......"

Suddenly felt that she couldn't continue to say this, so she smiled and stopped, she is not very old, and she naturally has a simple and beautiful temperament in her temperament, so she can easily get close to people, and turned her head to say a few words to Wan'er. I chatted with Ruoruo about things at home again, so that they could stay in the palace with peace of mind, and there was nothing wrong with Fan's house.

The three princes sitting beside her. Today, he was much more honest in the past, and he didn't have the arrogance in the Yuelou, with his head down, his face bitter, and he didn't say a word. Only occasionally would he raise his head and sneak a glance at the patient on the couch.

The incident of the Hanging Temple had already made him dissipate the anger against Fan Xian upstairs in Baoyue. After all, at that time, except for this "big cousin", no one cared about their life and death, including the two biological brothers, who only knew how to save their father...... If Fan Xian hadn't been present at that time, he was afraid that his own life would have been lost in the hands of that Jiupin assassin.

Eight-year-old children, no matter how precocious they are, are only the age of judging intimacy purely by likes and dislikes. The third prince looked at Fan Xian's pale face at this time, and thought of Fan Xian's incomparably chic and heroic posture in front of him on the Hanging Temple, and an indescribable feeling of admiration arose in his heart.

Wan'er glanced at the third prince and asked in surprise, "Third child, why are you so quiet today?"

The third prince grinned and said, "Sister Chen, it's nothing. ”

Wan'er was even more depressed, and said with a smile: "It seems that she has changed into a different person." ”

Concubine Yi glanced at her son distressedly and said, "If it weren't for Fan Xian, this kid would be afraid that he would lose his life, and he would be so frightened, he would have to be honest." ”

Fan Xian lay on the couch, it was inconvenient to turn his head, he only looked at these women and children with his spare eyes talking, and slowly drank a bowl of cordyceps soup under the service of Xing'er. When Xing'er took the bowl back, he pinched it on the palm of his hand very quickly, and the fingertips were extremely smooth.

Fan Xian was slightly stunned, knowing that this little palace maid would definitely not come to tease herself at this time, and understood that it must be Yi Gui Concubine who had something to say to him in private. He paused and said, "Wan'er, can you take the Third Highness down to visit this ball...... Sister, you go too. ”

The two sisters-in-law glanced at each other, knowing that he and Concubine Yi had something to say, so they got up and pulled the reluctant third prince to the depths of Yuanzi, and took away the eunuchs and palace maids who were serving beside them along the way.

In the Yinfeng Pavilion, only Fan Xian and Yi Gui Concubine were left at this time, but it was always inconvenient for the courtiers to get along with a young lady alone, so Xing'er consciously stayed.

Fan Xian turned his head with some difficulty and glanced at Xing'er.

Yi Guifei understood, smiled and said, "The little girl brought in from home is not afraid." ”

"Auntie. Fan Xian smiled bitterly: "What's the matter, you have to be so careful? My nephew was seriously injured and had just woken up for two days." ”

Concubine Yi waved her handkerchief and said with a smile: "If I don't come to you, don't you want to look for me?"

There was no warm emotion in the words, but she calculated that Fan Xian also wanted to know the news outside the palace at this time, and the assassination in the hanging temple was really a little weird, not only the masters in the palace were worried in their hearts, but the courtiers outside the palace were so uneasy, and even the people in Beijing were a little deeply aware of the difference, at the dinner table, in the wine shop, loudly scolding the assassin, whispering the true origin of the assassin, and guessing the true origin of the assassin, they actually guessed hundreds of answers. Concubine Yi knew that His Majesty wanted Fan Xian to recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind, so he cut off all sources of information from him, and she could help him get some.

"Aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will blame Niangniang?" Fan Xian looked at her with a smile.

"It's all this time. Concubine Yi spoke very directly, and said with a smile: "Except for you, I have no one to count on." ”

Fan Xian understood what she meant, there are a total of four mothers in the palace who have children, the queen did not panic and said, the princes of Ning Cairen and Shuguifei have all grown up**, and they have their own forces, that is, the Yigui concubine in front of them, although the family background is noble, and there is Fan Mansion as a force outside the palace. But the third prince is too young.

After a moment of silence, he told the scene of the Hanging Temple at that time.

Although she had already heard it from her son's mouth, Concubine Yi was still extremely worried and frightened at this time, clutching her handkerchief with both hands. It seems that he feared that the assassin hiding in the guards would slash his son to death.

After hearing this, she said hatefully: "How can there be an assassin ambushed in the guards? ”

"It shouldn't be for the old ......" Fan Xian smiled: "It's okay if I call the third child?"

"You're the elder brother, of course you call it. ”

"It's not for the third ......child," Fan Xian explained softly: "Maybe that assassin will kill the third child easily, but Your Majesty is still his real purpose, aunt, don't worry, although the prince is a little nervous about the strength of the family now, and I don't have a good relationship with the second child, but the third child is still too young, and it should not be ranked as the target of the first gear by them." ”

This was said in the palace. The courage is indeed a little big, although there are no eavesdropping people around the Yinfeng Pavilion, but Yi Guifei's face still changes. Some laughed unnaturally.

What she was most worried about was whether there were people in the palace who did not have good intentions towards her son, and at this time, listening to Fan Xianfen, she put her heart at ease, and then began to whisper to Fan Fu about the investigation outside the palace. Fan Xian did not know the progress of the investigation. But because of her mother's relationship, she has a lot of eyeliner outside the palace, and the touch is basically similar to the real situation.

"Gong Dian has been arrested. ”

Fan Xian hummed softly. did not reveal the shock in her heart, the word Yi Guifei used to grasp it, it means that the imperial court has already determined this matter, but it is not surprising that as the commander of the forbidden army and the head of the guard, when the assassination of the Hanging Temple happened, he was not by His Majesty's side! This reason alone is enough to trample the palace commander to the ground, plus countless feet to step on. Let him never be reborn.

Fan Xian was more interested - what was this extremely confused Grand Commander doing at that time?

......

......

"He was in Luozhou, forty miles south of Beijing...... In his own words, he was ordered to go to work. Yi Guifei said while revealing a puzzled look, even if the palace code wants to exonerate herself, it is impossible to say the word "order", as soon as this word is stabbed to His Majesty, it will be exposed immediately.

But as for what to do, the Supervision Yuan interrogated for two days, but it was still unclear. ”

Fan Xian couldn't help but gasp and sighed: "I always knew that Gong Dian was upright, but I didn't expect him to be so stupid. ”

"Huh?"

Fan Xian shook his head and sighed: "Since it is not His Majesty's will, let him go to Luozhou to do business...... It must be that one, but the problem is that there is an assassination case, how can he still move that person out as a rescuer? Even if he moves out, His Majesty will not be able to admit it, but he is afraid that he will die faster. ”

Yi Guifei still couldn't adapt to the directness and boldness of Fan Xian's words, and smiled a little bitterly: "These things ...... Let's leave it alone. ”

"yes, we don't have a good idea. Fan Xian sighed: "The Ye family is going to be unlucky now, have you found out the identity of the assassin?"

"The first assassin to strike was the dead Nine Rank Master. A hint of fear flashed in Concubine Yigui's eyes, "I heard that it was the assassin of Xihu Zuoxian's palace, and he has been infiltrating Qingguo for fourteen years." ”

"Why did you get involved with Xihu again?" Fan Xian said: "How can Hu Ren have been in the palace on an errand for so long and have not been discovered?"

"The origin of this Hu man is a bit powerful. Yi Guifei thought about it, organized her words, and explained.

Fan Xian then knew that the Hu assassin who died at the hands of Gonggong Hong was the descendant of the "fake princess" sent by the "fake princess" when he was at the hands of Qingguo when he made peace with Xihu, although many years have passed, he still retains the appearance of Qingguo people - in fact, this time he is very famous, because when Xihu was beaten to the worst by Qingguo, the other party once wanted to seek peace and be a minister, and sent a team of descendants of the peace team back to Kyoto, but the Qingguo people resolutely rejected the other party's submission.

That team later tragically returned to Xihu, unexpectedly leaving a master in Kyoto, and then chose to break out at this time.

"How did the other party sneak into the palace and become a guard? Who did the formalities?"

"The person who did it is already dead. Concubine Yigui frowned and said, "So it has become an unsolved case." ”

Fan Xian raised a finger in his heart, and he finally touched a three-dimensional side of this matter.

"The little eunuch is still alive to supervise the means of the courtyard. You should be able to find it out. He asked in a deep voice.

Concubine Yi nodded: "Check it very clearly." The little eunuch was a Kyoto ...... fifteen years ago One of the descendants of the prince who died in that turmoil, there were too many people who died in Kyoto that year, so he let a servant of the prince's palace escape with him in his arms, when he was just born. Therefore, this person was omitted from the roster...... The servant must have committed suicide, and then the baby was raised by a farmer on the outskirts of Beijing, and later entered the palace from the palace. ”

"How did the dagger get in?" Fan Xian thought that this was the real problem, and the little eunuch should not be able to draw this pattern.

Yi Guifei's next words overturned Fan Xian's thoughts: "Three years ago, the little eunuch was responsible for cleaning the top floor of the Hanging Temple before the chrysanthemum appreciation party, and it was hidden at that time, and the Supervision Yuan had already found the dagger's home and confirmed the time. ”

Fan Xian frowned. Since the little eunuch is the remnant of the bloody night fifteen years ago...... That bloody night knew to himself that it was a means used by the emperor, Chen Pingping, and his father to avenge his mother, and the largest princes of Qingguo were uprooted at that time. Kyoto doesn't know how many people died, and even the Queen's family was cut down and there was not a single branch left, leaving her alone in the palace...... Who knows what this little eunuch means behind him?

Sihu, Maharaja...... These people did have the motive and courage to assassinate the emperor. It's just that...... How did you get together?

"Does the Ye family have any reaction?" Fan Xian asked very seriously.

"What kind of reaction can you have?" Yi Guifei shook her head with a smile and said: "Ye Chong has eight articles in a row, and he doesn't dare to go back to Cangzhou, so he stays in the mansion honestly." Even the pro-soldiers in the palace were handed over to the Kyoto Prefecture to take care of, and it was up to His Majesty to deal with it. ”

"Your Majesty?" Fan Xian also laughed, "Let's see if Ye Liuyun will return to Kyoto." ”

The two were about to say something, but when they heard a faint voice from the corner of Mei Yuan, they fell silent and began to talk about some side things. Fan Xian first apologized for the injury to the Yigong Mansion on the matter of hugging the Yuelou, and Yi Guifei represented the Guogong Mansion. Thanks to Fan Xian for not avoiding relatives and having the courage to discipline children, he effectively prevented the future of the Guogong Mansion from sliding into the unpredictable abyss.

The guests of honour had a good conversation and then said goodbye.

"What did you say?" Wan'er looked at the figure of Yi Guifei leading the third child out of the circle, and asked curiously: "This lady has always been happy in the palace, why is she a little nervous today?"

Fan Xian smiled: "When the child grows up, how can the mother still be like before? ”

Lin Wan'er looked embarrassed, and thought that her stomach didn't seem to move, but Xianggong was injured now, and she didn't want to say anything, so she had to smile and change the topic: "What's going on outside, is it a day when the world is turned upside down?"

Fan Xian whispered the news that Yi Guifei had brought to the place, glanced at the eunuch palace maid not far away, and said, "The wind is a little cold, let's go back to the house." ”

Knowing that some words were inconvenient to say in front of the people in the palace, Wan'er and Ruoruo nodded and called those eunuchs to come and carry the soft couch.

......

......

After returning to the house, lying on the big bed, Fan Xian looked at the top of the bed with his eyes open, not knowing what he was thinking, and finally said after a while: "What do you say will happen to the Ye family this time?"

At this time, there was no one in the room, and he didn't have to be afraid of anything, and said directly: "Gong Dian must have a will, so he will go to Luozhou...... And it must not be His Majesty's will, otherwise if the palace ceremony shouts injustice, even His Majesty will not be able to end it. ”

A chill chilled in his heart: "Although this trick is a bit absurd, but it is very effective, the Empress Dowager's secret decree ordered Gong Dian to go to Luozhou to do business, of course he has to go as the commander of the forbidden army, and there are assassins born on the Hanging Temple! If during the trial, Gong Dian still insists that the Empress Dowager will let him go out of Beijing, it will be tantamount to announcing to the world that it is the Empress Dowager who wants to kill the emperor?...... If Gong Dian didn't want to be connected to the nine clans, then this kind of thing had to be buried in his stomach and suffer such a big loss. ”

Lin Wan'er and Ruoruo are both smart people, of course they won't think that it was really the Hanging Temple arranged by the Queen Mother. Wan'er said with a sad face: "You mean. Gong Dian went to Luozhou, and it was arranged by his grandmother and His Majesty together?"

Fan Xian snorted.

Ruoruo frowned and said, "Why do you want to do this?"

Fan Xian sneered: "Gong Dian is the commander of the forbidden army, and he is Ye Chong's junior brother, he is unlucky this time. The Ye family naturally had to be unlucky. ”

Wan'er was worried about her friend Ye Ling'er, and sighed: "The Ye family has always been loyal, why does Your Majesty want to ......?"

Before the words were finished, everyone understood. Fan Xian sighed and said: "If Your Majesty didn't doubt the loyalty of the Ye family, of course he wouldn't choose to do this, but now that he is suspicious, he has to choose to let the Ye family stand aside, at least in the important land of Kyoto, it is impossible to let the two brothers and sisters guard it...... The most critical thing is that the Ye family has another great grandmaster who is the only one in our Qingguo on the bright side. As long as Ye Liuyun doesn't die for a day. is so general, you can't move the Ye family at all. ”

"That's why I used such a bad trick and lost the royal dignity. Fan Xian sighed and said, "Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of your courtiers?"

"Why...... Your Majesty will be suspicious of the Ye family?"

"It's simple. Fan Xian explained: "Your Majesty refers to marrying the second prince and Ye Ling'er...... If the leaf re-sees it accurately. At that time, he should have refused to get married, even if he approved of this marriage, he should have resigned from the post of Kyoto garrison as soon as possible, not to mention returning to old age, even if he was transferred to the border line. It can also make His Majesty feel more at ease. ”

"And he didn't do either, so ......"

Lin Wan'er and Ruoruo nodded gloomily, and Ruoruo couldn't help but speak: "There are so many twists and turns here. ”

"When I was in Northern Qi. I guessed that there would be such a day. Fan Xian said: "I just didn't expect that Your Majesty would use such a small family's means." ”

Wan'er suddenly said: "In this way, the assassination in the hanging temple that day was originally expected by His Majesty?"

Fan Xian looked at her and nodded: "I just don't know if everything is being calculated, or if Your Majesty originally only arranged one of them." ，

Lin Wan'er looked back at his eyes and said slowly: "Your Majesty doesn't like to take risks in this life, so ...... At most, he'll set a fire. ”

The husband and wife looked at each other silently for a long time, and they seemed to be a little afraid. If the fire in the Hanging Temple was arranged by His Majesty, then who arranged the series of blows in the back?

Fan Xian slowly closed his eyes and said softly: "The assassin bureau has arranged it so cleverly, so clever that I don't believe it at all, this is an organization, or a single plan that several organizations can arrange. ”

"It's just a coincidence. He continued: "It's just that a few assassins buried in the palace suddenly found that the situation on the Hanging Temple was very suitable for their sudden outburst, so, without discussion or premeditation, a series of assassinations suddenly broke out. ”

Finally, he said to himself: "Obviously, this is an immortal bureau, a fairy bureau that is completely unexpected by His Majesty. ”

In the gloomy building not very far from the palace, Chen Pingping sat in a wheelchair, without saying a word, and the seven leaders below were also silent, not knowing what to say, the emperor was assassinated, in addition to the forbidden army to bear the greatest responsibility, the Supervision Yuan also had to bear great consequences.

If it weren't for Lord Tisi, who was lying in the palace at this time, who saved the situation, maybe the Supervision Yuan would only be like the Ye family, waiting for the palace to knead itself. Yan Bingyun, who had already officially served as the leader of the four places, opened his mouth indifferently, breaking the silence in the secret room: "The assassin buried in Xihu's guards, the little eunuch who was left behind in the bloody night fifteen years ago, and the younger brother of the legendary Sigu Jian, it is impossible for these people to get together and plan such a situation...... And who actually set the fire has not been found out. According to the news from various places, the Northern Qi Jinyi Guard is currently in chaos, and there is no time to plan this matter, and Dongyi City has no signs of planning this matter. ”

The acting leader of the Sixth Division also opened his mouth coldly: "And Sigu Jian has a younger brother, this is just a legendary thing...... No one knows if this person really exists. ”

The second division of the Supervision Yuan is responsible for the summary and analysis of information, and the leader said with a look of guilt on his face: "There is no information at all, although it is a dereliction of duty on the part of the subordinates, but the subordinates think that in order to plan such a murderous situation, intelligence exchanges are indispensable, and we will always catch some clues, but there is no one...... I can only think that there has been no real contact between the assassins, and I would even venture to judge that the assassins do not know each other!"

Chen Pingping, who was sitting in a wheelchair, slowly opened her eyes and looked at her subordinates with a somewhat cloudy gaze, thinking that the fire that His Majesty called for someone to set on fire, of course it can't be caught by you, as for the assassin of Xihu, the bold little eunuch, the ghost knows where it came from, and His Majesty and the old man are not real immortals.

"It's a fairy game. The old man yawned, "It's just a coincidence, how can there be so much to think about." ”
