“…… His Majesty was relieved, and the old minister was grateful, but the matter had come to this point, and the old minister did not dare to take chances. ”

"Alas, the Prime Minister mourns." Emperor Qing sighed lightly and said, "In this way, the matter of sacrificing to the heavens will be postponed for a few more days, and you will go back to the house to recuperate, and the Supervision Yuan will continue to excavate, and once there is any new progress, I will immediately send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Hearing this, Lin Ruofu stood up, saluted respectfully, and choked up: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"The old minister retires!"

After speaking, Lin Ruofu bowed his head respectfully and left the imperial study backwards.

Emperor Qing watched Lin Ruofu leave, and when his footsteps faded away, he said thoughtfully: "Father-in-law, you say, is this Lin Hui dead or not?" ”

The eunuch waiting next to him immediately replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the old slave feels that if the second son of Lin had left at that time, there might still be a glimmer of hope for survival, but if the second son of Lin was also in the manor at that time, then he must have fallen under the power of heaven!" ”

Emperor Qing nodded and said, "I think so too. ”

"Tianwei...... Heavenly might......"

Emperor Qing sat on the edge of the dragon bed, his eyes looking at the bright moon on the palace wall outside the window with extremely deep eyes.

At the same time, there was also a person in the supervision courtyard who was looking at the bright moon through the skylight.

Pinching the fold in her hand, Chen Pingping in a wheelchair suddenly remembered the mysterious young man she had seen during the day.

"Heavenly Court...... Heavenly Court ......"

"If Heavenly Court really exists, it should be easy to draw out such heavenly might, right?"

Chen Pingping lowered her head and looked at the fold in her hand, her eyes becoming extremely complicated.

It's just that if Heavenly Court really exists, then why hasn't it appeared in the past?

Or is Heavenly Court just a bigger Qingguo?

If that's the case, then it's up to you, Fan Xian......

……

……

That night, all parts of Kyoto Castle were deprived of sleep because of the punishment of heaven.

Fan Xian is naturally the same, and he still has to worry about Lin Heng's handling matters.

So he thought about it all night, and it wasn't until the morning that the rooster crowed, and then he opened the door and looked at the sky with a wry smile on his tired face.

"Lin Hui, Lin Hui, let me do what I should do with you......"

"Is there anything you can't say well, you have to do such an extreme thing."

"If someone around me really dies because of you, do you think I will kill you or not?"

Fan Xian sighed in his heart, although he was still dissatisfied with what Lin Heng had done, and was already faintly inclined to let Lin Heng go.

After all, in the Niulan Street assassination case, he had nothing to lose except for destroying a carriage, but Lin Heng was almost killed by two powerful bodyguards around him because of this.

Of course, the above sentence is only a conclusion from the results.

Judging from the cause, Lin Heng did go a little too far.

Fan Xian thought about it all night, and finally made an eight-character comment on Lin Heng's behavior-

His heart can be punished, and his feelings can be forgiven.

After all, Lin Heng knows how good he is to his sister, and after he came to Kyoto, he stigmatized his reputation in order to get out of marriage, and in the eyes of his brother who loves his sister, he is indeed an image of wanting to kill him quickly.

Considering the attitude of his fiancée Lin Wan'er, Fan Xian finally decided to let Lin Heng go.

But before letting him go, he planned to have a good chat with the second brother-in-law who assassinated his brother-in-law at every turn.

Just as he was about to walk to Yamu's room and ask where Lin Hui was being held, his sister Fan Ruoruo suddenly hurried over.

"Brother, there is a person from outside the door, listening to his meaning, it seems to be a staff member of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

“…… A member of the Prime Minister's Office? ”

Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, and then frowned slightly, not knowing why the staff of the Prime Minister's Mansion came to visit today.

Could it be that the Prime Minister's Mansion knew that Lin Heng was in his hands?

How is this possible?!

After thinking about it for a while, Fan Xian decided to go and meet the staff member first.

"Dare to ask Mr. Honorable Name?"

In the flower hall, Fan smiled and bowed his hand to the staff.

The staff also smiled and saluted back, and said: "In Xia Yuan Hongdao, he is a staff member in Xiangye's mansion, and he came here today mainly to convey some news and attitude to Fan Gongzi for Xiangye. ”

“…… What's the news? ”

Fan Xian asked quietly.

Yuan Hongdao said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that Xiangye wants to ask Fan Gongzi how to determine the wedding date." ”

Hearing this, Fan Xian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

When he came back to his senses, Fan Xian said with blazing eyes: "This ...... This has to be decided by the Holy One, right? ”

Yuan Hongdao patted his head, got up and smiled and bowed his hand to Fan Xian: "What Fan Gongzi said is very true, it is Yuan who is confused, since it is His Majesty's marriage, it is naturally decided by His Majesty, and Yuan will leave!" ”

As he spoke, Yuan Hongdao bowed, turned around like this, and left the flower hall neatly.

Such a tiger-like meeting made Fan Ruoruo, who was waiting next to him, a little confused.

“…… That's it? ”

Fan Xian had already come back to his senses at this time, and immediately the corners of his mouth curled, glanced at her and said, "The words have arrived, so naturally I have to leave." ”

Fan Ruoruo looked dazed, blinked her eyes and asked, "What words, how did they come about, why can't I understand them?" ”

Fan Xian smiled and picked up the cup of hot tea that had not been touched, and said softly: "Lin Xiang is taking advantage of the wedding period to convey his attitude to me - he has already approved of the marriage between me and Wan'er!" ”

Fan Ruoruo thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "That's what it meant." ”

Fan Xian put down the teacup, shook his head and said, "It's just that this level of kindness is not enough, I have to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to talk to him." ”

"Huh?" Fan Ruoruo was surprised, "What are you talking about?" ”

Fan Xian sighed: "Talk about family harmony in the future." ”

After speaking, Fan Xian immediately got up and found Yamu in the room.

"Brother Mu, accompany me to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"......" Yamu glanced at him, "Now?" ”

Fan Xian nodded solemnly: "Well, and if you can, it's best not to let others find out." ”

……

……

Half an hour later, two black shadows rushed up to the roof of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Yamu squatted beside Fan Xian, pointed to the room next to a rockery in the courtyard and said, "Lin Xiang is there." ”

Fan Xian looked at Yamu in surprise: "How do you know?" ”

Yamu glanced at him and said lightly: "Breath." ”

Fan Xian nodded thoughtfully, and then complained: "Brother Mu, I didn't say you, how can you talk to Uncle Wuzhu now, aren't you infected by him?" ”

The corners of Yamu's mouth twitched, and he sighed and said, "Is it possible that I was originally a silent person?" ”

"You? Taciturn? Fan glanced at Yamu in surprise, shook his head and said, "I can't see it." ”

Yamu rolled his eyes, raised his hand to grab Fan Xian's collar, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and go down!" ”

After speaking, Ya Mu raised his hand and threw it, and Fan Xian immediately flew out with a low shout, adjusted his body in mid-air, and landed accurately outside the study.

After landing on the ground, Fan Xian stabilized his figure, looked up at Ya Mu, returned his middle finger, and then tidied up his clothes and strode outside the study.

At this time, Yuan Hongdao had returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and was explaining today's meeting with Lin Ruofu in the study.

“…… According to Yuan, that Fan Gongzi is quite wise, I just mentioned it, and he immediately understood what Xiangye meant. ”

Lin Ruofu nodded and said: "Fan Xian can write a quatrain like "Ascending", naturally he is not a mediocre person. ”

Yuan Hongdao hesitated: "It's just that with the identity of Fan Gongzi, it seems that it is difficult to escape the political tilt, and it is extremely difficult to stabilize his life in the future, and if he entrusts the eldest prince and Miss Chen to him in the future, it seems that it is not very stable." ””

Lin Ruofu shook his head and said: "Even if he doesn't have the surname Fan, as long as he marries my daughter, he is destined to not escape these nets." ”

Yuan Hongdao sighed lightly, and then said in a low voice: "What about the eldest princess?" ”

A hint of coldness flashed in Lin Ruofu's eyes, and he said coldly: "Although Li Yunrui is a crazy woman, she knows Your Majesty best. ”

"She asked Wu Bo'an to plan the assassination, it was a three-way plan, kill Fan Xian, she can regain the power of the inner library, and say that she can use this as a rope to tie my prime minister's mansion firmly to her."

"It's just that she didn't expect that Fan Xian was not so easy to kill......"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden noise outside the study.

Lin Ruofu and Yuan Hongdao were immediately alert, and shouted coldly: "What person?!" ”

There was silence outside the study for a moment, and then it slowly opened, revealing Fan Xian's expressionless face.

“…… It's you? ”

Yuan Hongdao looked at Fan Xian with a shocked face.

Fan Xian ignored him, just stared at Lin Ruofu, and said slowly: "It turned out to be the eldest princess......

Lin Ruofu frowned, turned his head and glanced at Yuan Hongdao, and motioned for him to leave.

Yuan Hongdao understood, bowed his hand to Lin Ruofu, and then saluted Fan Xian, and then took a step and passed by Fan Xian.

Fan Xian didn't stop him, but just looked at Lin Ruofu fixedly and said, "Why? ”

Lin Ruofu waved his robe, sat behind the desk, glanced at Fan Xian and said, "Didn't you already hear it?" ”

Fan Xian said lightly: "You said that you killed three birds with one stone, but I only heard two of them, and what about one more?" ”

Lin Ruofu shook his head and said, "This third has nothing to do with you, but Your Majesty's grand cause." ”

"Back then, His Majesty's Northern Expedition was not fully successful, and he has always been obsessed, and now Li Yunrui instructed Cheng Jushu to kill you, which can be regarded as giving His Majesty an excellent reason for going to war, even if Your Majesty doesn't like her to make her own opinions, you have to accept her feelings, and it is impossible to punish her heavily."

"So, forget about it!"

After speaking, Lin Ruofu didn't care about Fan Xian's reaction, and beckoned lightly: "I won't ask you how you came in, since you came, then come and sit down, just you and I have a good chat." ”

“……”

Fan Xian walked over with a complicated expression and sat opposite Lin Ruofu.

Lin Ruofu looked at him quietly for a while, and suddenly said in a shocking voice: "What do you think about the fact that Jue'er wants to kill you?" ”

Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, and then said calmly: "After I entered Beijing, in order to get out of the marriage, I did a lot of ridiculous things to discredit myself, and it is natural that the second son does not want his sister to marry me, besides, it ...... Didn't you just say that the mastermind of the assassination was the eldest princess. ”

Lin Ruofu frowned and said, "I said that I want you to forget about it." ”

Fan Xian smiled: "The things that have been remembered in my mind are not so easy to forget. ”

Lin Ruofu shook his head and blamed: "It's still too young...... As I said just now, the eldest princess's move is very much in line with Your Majesty's wishes, even if you stab it, you will not be able to make the eldest princess guilty for this, and at most she will be scolded by Your Majesty. ”

"I'm going to let you forget about it, not to make you kneel and beg for mercy, but to hide your fangs and wait for the day."

Fan Xian's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help asking, "Why is Xiangye so considerate of me?" ”

Lin Ruofu glanced at him deeply, and suddenly said lightly: "The old man has only two sons and one daughter in his life, the eldest son was sick when he was young, although his body was healed in the hands of a famous doctor, but his mind could not grow, and he always maintained the level of a three- or four-year-old child. ”

"Although the little girl is in normal mind, she is born weak and suffering from tuberculosis, and her identity cannot be an outsider."

"The old man is a father, but since the birth of his little girl, he has not been able to meet her a few times."

"Among the three children, only the second child is the hope of the Lin family's future, but now, he is ...... with the dog thief Wu Bo'an."

Speaking of this, Lin Ruofu paused, and a trace of coldness and sadness flashed in his eyes.

Immediately after, he asked softly, "Do you know Wu Bo'an?" ”

Fan Xian immediately replied: "I know, and it's not just Wu Bo'an, I also know about the meteorite and the manor." ”

Lin Ruofu narrowed his eyes: "Is it true that the Fan Mansion and the Supervision Yuan are so communicative?" ”

Fan Xian smiled slightly and did not answer.

Lin Ruofu waved his hand: "That's it, in short, now there is little hope for Ju'er's survival, and the old man can only pin his hope on you, the future son-in-law, for the livelihood of his children......"

Fan Xian said thoughtfully: "So, you want to know my attitude towards this matter." ”

Lin Ruofu nodded: "That's right." ”

Fan Xian blinked his eyes and said, "Coincidentally, I also have some things, I want to see Xiangye's attitude." ”

Lin Ruofu raised his eyebrows: "You say." ”

Fan Xian stared at Lin Ruofu's eyes, and said in the same shocking voice: "Lin Heng is not dead yet, he is in my hands!" ”
