Chapter 71: Guess the flowers are like that

In the late night palace, there was a dangerous tranquility.

Listening to the queen's words, the prince almost fell to the ground, his face full of shock, and said, "Mother, what are you talking about?"

The look on the queen's face changed. I don't know how long it took to silence and said softly: "Fan Xian, it is the evil seed born from your father and the demon girl of the Ye family."

The prince of the East Palace shook his head repeatedly, unable to accept this sudden situation. He shook his head for too long and even felt a little dizzy. He sat back to the bed without any sense of consciousness and said, "How is this possible? How is this possible?"

When the prince thought that he had a younger brother who had been living among the people since childhood, the prince felt that life was really wonderful. What's more, this brother could be seen in the capital from time to time. His reputation was even greater than that of his prince, and his power seemed to be no less than that of himself.

He jumped up subconsciously, perhaps self-comfort or self-relieving stress, and said with a silly smile: "It turns out that I have such a younger brother."

The queen looked at her son like she was looking at dementia.

The prince's face became hot, and he was embarrassed and roared in a low voice: "So what? I have always had a good relationship with him, not to mention that he was not well-off and could not enter the palace, which would not pose any threat to me."

"Doesn't it pose a threat to your Highness?"

The queen sneered and said, "Don't forget that his mother's death is unrelated to your poor mother. Do you think he will watch you take the throne? Even if he has such a measure and does not come to take revenge, wouldn't he be afraid that you will deal with him after you ascend the throne?"

"Fan Xian, even for self-protection, it is impossible for you to ascend the throne." The queen's voice was like a talisman urging death in the palace, "So Qian'er. You have to be prepared. Of course, you can't talk about such important news everywhere. The most important thing is that you can't let the brothers in the palace know Fan Xian's life experience, otherwise what if the eldest and second brothers..."

The prince understood the meaning of the mother's queen, and his voice became a little erratic: "No wonder it has been said outside that Fan Xian was a descendant of the Ye family, but his father never came up with a solution to the treatment. It turns out that there is another hidden truth. However, if the mother, if the mother still spoiled him as usual, he would have the support of the Fan family and Dean Chen, and the child would not be able to touch him easily."

The queen's eyes were filled with cold smell: "Now, we can't move him. Our strength is too weak. No one in the palace is willing to help us, so you can just be silly, but don't believe it. You, a wild brother, will have any good intentions to you. Let's wait, and from today, you will be honest and don't do any extra things... After the Spring Examination case, you are right, no power is as important as your father's favorite. As long as the emperor still trusts you, Fan Xian will not dare to move anything. We will survive until the future... There will always be a way."

The prince was speechless, but he was a little dissatisfied with the mother's thoughts.

It's dawn.

The people who continued to talk about the gossip of the Ye family in the Fan Mansion continued to talk about the gossip of the Ye family in the porridge shop. The supervisory office, which was monitoring the movements of all officials, was vigilant. The whole family of the Fan Mansion pretended to be calm in panic. The emperor had a headache and the empress dowager was also having a headache. Fan Shangshu came to the Ministry of Revenue early, his expression was as yesterday, and he was chatting and laughing. It was nothing unusual. Chen Pingping did not return to Chen Yuan, but stayed in the supervisory office, watching everything that was happening in Kyoto with his slightly dizzy eyes.

There was a sound of sweeping the floor on the street. Fan Xian was taking the medicine on time according to Mr. Fei's prescription, holding the nameless martial arts in his hand in a daze. He had already finished practicing the first volume, but he had never found a way to do it in the second volume, especially when the true qi is completely dispersed and the meridians are full of holes. He did not dare to force the true qi to mobilize the true qi according to the second volume.

Regarding the matter of life experience, Fan Xian's mentality has stabilized. It is going to rain, and her mother is not married and has children without marriage. Let her go. Anyway, it is not my turn to be responsible for this matter.

If the palace was so afraid of his mother, and even if he was unwilling tolerate him through time, what would he care about? It would be a fight. If the emperor's life is about to come, he will not be able to instruct the Supervisory Office and Qi Nian's team, and the matter is at its most dangerous point, don't blame yourself for obeying the teacher's will and going against my mother's will. Start spraying mosquitoes with poison and breaking a bloody road with poison! Kill ants with a big knife, and use heavy sniping to destroy some of his masters!

Ye Liuyun was not in the capital, and it was difficult for the army to exert force against a very small number of people. He could not imagine who could keep such a perverted combination. At this time, Fan Xian's heart calmed down and began to gradually feel a little bit. The young girl named Ye Qingmei took Uncle Blind and the box to be enemies with the whole world.

A little nervous and a little excited.

Of course, it is best not to develop to this point. After all, I still have to consider the interests of the Fan family, the safety of the father, sister and wife, and the life and death of many people who are close to me. The goal of losing it is just the last move. It is the most urgent thing that Fan Xian needs.

Because he still has many things he has not done, and those things must rely on his current power and status.

For two consecutive days, no one came to the Fan Mansion to visit. Even the people closest to the Fan family would not choose to come to find out the news at such a storm. What is strange is that King Jing did not come. According to the news secretly returned by Qi Nian's group, the flower farmer prince was moved for some reason, throwing away the flower hoe and abandoning the manure bucket, and drinking only on the railings on the mansion, crying and feeling something.

The officials who were familiar with Fan Xian, including Xin Qiwu and Ren Shaoan, were watching carefully, waiting for the court to react to the rumors.

No one dares to make any statement at this time.

In the palace.

Ning Cairen was wearing a very fitted dress and circled around the withered tree under the warm winter sun. This was her habit for many years. This female prisoner of the Dongyi in the past and the noble man in the palace today was still unable to rest.

I don’t know how long I have been wandering around, but the eldest prince stood quietly on the side finally couldn’t help it and sighed: “Mother, what’s wrong?”

The prince has his own mansion outside the palace. What's more, the eldest prince has become the first prince among the princes because of his achievements in the Western Expedition, so he naturally cannot live in the palace. The royal family has many rules, and even if he wants to visit his mother, the rules in the middle are a bit complicated. Today, Ning Cairen used some methods to skip many obstacles and directly summoned his biological son into the palace, but he was stunned by the tree.

The eldest prince knew that his mother must have something important to explain to him. Otherwise, he would not have broken the rules so eye-catchingly, but... he thought to himself, was it related to the most fierce rumors recently?

"Have you heard about it? Fan Xian's life experience." Ning Cairen finally stopped, pulled out a Supa from his wrist and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, his face turned serious.

The eldest prince thought it was indeed the case, so he respectfully handed her a cup of warm tea to her hand, nodded and responded: "The child knew about this, but it happened suddenly. There was no evidence. Judging from the meaning of the father and the queen mother, he would never believe these villains spread rumors, and the child would not believe it either."

Ning Cairen looked at her son and sneered, "Don't believe it? I think the world has started to believe it!" She suddenly slapped the stone table with anger and said hatefully, "The dean doesn't know what's going on this time, but he will actually suppress this rumor vigorously. Don't you know, this will make others believe it? What should Fan Xian do if this makes Fan Xian do?"

"Fan Xian?" She suddenly became a little distracted. After a while, she sighed calmly: "So... she has a son, and it turns out that she is Fan Xian."

Of course, the eldest prince knew who her mother was, so of course it was the mistress of the Ye family who shone with light and ended in dismal ending. He guessed what his mother meant and said tentatively: "What do you mean?"

Ning Cairen had a straight eyebrows, and was majestic without anger, and said sternly: "We Dongyi people are the most concerned about distinguishing grudges! Fan Xian's life experience has been revealed. Whether Your Majesty still remembers the contributions of the Ye family back then, the person in the East Palace... must not tolerate him. Please listen to me!"

In front of outsiders, the eldest prince was a brave and good-looking general, a strong man, but in front of Ning Cairen, he was like an obedient kitten, subconsciously standing in front of his mother like a soldier. He said in a deep voice: "Please train me."

"If things are inconsistent..." Ning Cairen showed a hint of fierceness in his eyebrows, "No matter what method you use, no matter what, you must save Fan Xiandi's life!"

The eldest prince agreed without thinking about it. He had never disobeyed his mother's meaning, but he was still a little confused. He knew that his mother had played a role in the bloody night in Kyoto. He just didn't understand why his mother protected Fan Xian so much. It was because his life was important, and he could use his troops... This was no different from rebellion.

"If President Chen had not helped me, I would never have been able to come back from the mountains and rivers in the north." Ning Cairen said coldly about what happened back then, "You know this, but even if I returned to Kyoto alive and welcomed me, I was still a hang order in the palace... I was a female prisoner of Dongyi, and no one knew that I was pregnant with you at that time. If it weren't for the Ye girl's words, you, I, are already two wandering souls."

Ning Cairen took a deep breath and said, "Fan Xian's mother saved both your and my mother and my son's lives. When she had an accident, you were still young and I had no strength at all... But now it is different. Since you have some strength in your hands, you must save Fan Xian's life."

The courtyard was quiet, and the winter sunlight splashed down lightly, shining on this pair of alternative royal mothers and sons who were honest and innocent and wanted to revenge.

"If my father cannot tolerate Fan Xian." The eldest prince whispered: "Although I hold the imperial guards, I am afraid it will not play a big role... well, at worst I can repay the other party's life."

"It's not that scary. You're going to get married soon. How can I bear to let you take risks?" Ning Cairen stared into his eyes and said, "You don't have to think about your attitude, just stare at the East Palace."

The eldest prince seemed to be moved and immediately thought of a problem. Although he was a person with a bright mind, he was not a fool. After a while, he was shocked and said: "If it were just a descendant of the Ye family, the father would never leave Fan Xian, but looking at the movements in the past few days... there is only one possibility!"

Ning Cairen smiled and said, "Finally guessed it? My mother thought so, so that her Majesty could not pursue the so-called treason of the past, and even the Queen Mother's ancestor remained silent. There was only one explanation. Fan Xian was not only the son of the Ye family girl. He was also... His own son, in other words, Fan Xian was a prince that people never knew about, and he was your brother."

The eldest prince's face became a little ugly, his fists were clenched, and it was difficult to accept this fact. After a while, hesitated and said: "Is it... Fan Xian really the son of his father? What about Fan Shangshu?... If all these are true, why did the father send Fan Xian to Danzhou back then?"

Ning Cairen sneered: "Who can fully understand the things back then? Don't forget Fan Xiandi's mother, but the two women with the most powerful figure in the palace hated them to their bones."

The eldest prince blinked his eyes, unable to believe that this sentence was heard from his mother's mouth, and he thought for a long time in his heart, saying, "If my mother could guess Fan Xian's true life experience, I think it might have spread outside the palace."

"If you guess, guess." Ning Cairen dusted the dust on his body and said heroically: "Maybe this is what the dean is willing to see. Maybe these things happened, and he was trying to solve the problem for the emperor. After all, Your Majesty probably doesn't know how to arrange his son."

How does the emperor deal with Fan Xian? This is the most concerned issue among the officials and people in Kyoto these days. If the rumors are true, Fan Xian can only be sentenced to prison. If the rumors are false, the palace should also eliminate the influence through some methods, such as rewards, verbal comfort, etc.

The rumors became more and more bizarre, and the reaction of the Supervisory Office. The quietness of the Fan Mansion seemed to confirm the rumor. Fan Xian was the orphan of the mistress of the Ye family back then. The problem was: no one was sent to arrest him in the palace!

This matter becomes quite interesting.

His Majesty remained silent, and the palace was silent. People were confused and began to speculate. The officials of the court were originally smart and calm. Even the censors of the Censorate just carefully submitted a few memorials to tell the rumors in the capital, but His Majesty stayed at the Central Committee and did not issue them, and the officials could do nothing.

This speculation finally reached its peak after a bold and low IQ official jumped out and caused a storm in the court.

The official's surname is Mao, named Yu Liang, who is the Minister of Etiquette. He is responsible for reviewing memorials and refuting those who make inappropriate words. This confused official is rough and straightforward by nature and yearns for the perfect rule of the saints. The most obvious thing is that it is harmful to the court. After the rumors about Fan Xian's life experience were circulated in Kyoto, Mao Yueliang completely ignored the silence of his colleagues, and made a frank comment on the court, asking His Majesty to issue an order to reprimand such false rumors, and gave Lord Fan Tisi a reputation.

In the court, the emperor just said lightly: "The clear one is clear, and the turbid one is turbid. The foolish people have good things. Why should all the ministers get mixed up with them and lose their decent attitude?"

Unexpectedly, Mao Yueliang refused to let go and insisted that rumors were harmful to Fan Tisi's voice. If rumors were false, the court should clearly refute them. If rumors were true, the court should investigate the crime of concealing the court and entering the court in private. The Fan's family colluded with thieves and had the crime of ill-behaving.

Even though these rumors are absurd and unreliable, at least for the sake of the court's face, your Majesty should let the two Lords Fan defend themselves. Moreover, Lord Fan is no longer suitable to continue to serve as the Supervisory Office's Office. As for the inner treasury...

Before these foolish and slutty words were finished, His Majesty left his seat in anger and ordered the guards to give Mao Yueliang out and beat him twenty court sticks. If the Empress Dowager hadn't come forward to plead with him in the end, I'm afraid that this extremely stupid six-college clerk would have been beaten to death by His Majesty!

No one knows the Xinyang background behind this Liuke Seichen, and no one knows the last anger of Your Majesty comes from the Empress Dowager who comes forward to protect the people.

For the emperor, what he feared most was that his mother and sister united with his sons. When this situation was happening, a generation of heroes responded indifferently and even rudely, and forced Fan Xian to retain all his official positions and titles. This was a posture, a posture of a lion protecting the territory.

But the officials and citizens of Qing Kingdom did not know the problems in the palace. As soon as the court stick happened, Kyoto was shocked! Thinking of the last time the Censorate impeached Fan Xian, he was beaten with a court stick. People have noticed again that the supreme holy relatives that Fan Xian has obtained over the years are really not as good as those of several princes!

Thinking of His Majesty's vague attitude towards this matter, people began to guess, I guess. I guess.

Human imagination is sometimes extremely poor, but sometimes extremely rich. Rumors about Fan Xian’s life experience began to slide uncontrollably towards the direction that some people disliked the most. As for whether there is a dark figure in the wheelchair behind these speculations, it is unknown.

In short, shortly after the first explosive news spread throughout Kyoto, the second explosive news began to circulate in the streets and alleys of Kyoto. However, when the people talked about this news, it seemed more mysterious, more careful, and extremely excited.

"Do you know? Lord Xiao Fan is the illegitimate son of our Daqing Dynasty emperor...."

"That's right, it's completely carved from the same mold."

"Have you seen Your Majesty's Dragon Face?"

"This... guess. But to be honest, Xiao Fan is a genius, both civil and military, and his poetry is amazing. He is famous and unparalleled. Such a person... Only our wise and powerful emperor can come out of the land."

“That’s that’s that’s it.”

"But...Shistor Fan is...this...this."

"Oh, Lord Shangshu is pitiful, and I blame Mr. Fan for not getting his name well."

In Xinyang Li Palace, the eldest princess gently painted her eyebrows with a self-deprecating smile on her lips. This wonderful woman who has always been self-deprecating and making plans finally knew that she had made a fatal mistake after two consecutive rumors. Her emperor brother must have begun to doubt her thoughts. And the little thing named Fan Xiandi...

"Mr. Yuan, I didn't listen to your opinion, I was wrong." The eldest princess pursed her lips and said lightly.

"The strange life experience of Mr. Xiao Fan is really unexpected. The first rumor is enough to shock the world. No one expected that there would be a second wave."

Now like Huang Yi, Yuan Hongdao, who has become the chief adviser of Xinyang, said slowly: "I advised the princess to be patient for the time being. I felt that the news that Fan Xian was a descendant of the Ye family came a bit strange, but I didn't expect that after this news, it was this shocking speculation. The incident happened too suddenly and turned too fast. We were in a hurry to deal with it. It was not the crime of war, but God's will."

The eldest princess has now lost the Cui family and has suffered irreversible damage to the interests. She has really begun to find out the ability of the good son-in-law. She is angry and it is difficult to maintain her condescending calmness at the beginning. However, her reaction to the backhand was a bit too late, and even ineffective. So when the first rumor entered her ears, she did not think about it, and even ignored Yuan Hongdao's strong opposition, she decided to use this matter to pull Fan Xian off the horse.

However, it was inconvenient to contact the two places in Xinyang and Kyoto. She wanted to use the Queen Mother's mouth to give the seemingly stupid Six-Course staff to force the emperor to take Fan Xian's position first. Unexpectedly, she received the second news immediately!

Is Fan Xian the illegitimate son of His Majesty?

Others may have to guess this news, but the eldest princess believed it as soon as she heard it and began to secretly mock her stupidity. Why didn't she understand such a simple thing? She wasted a chess piece in the court and used a trace of the affection for her mother. The most failed was that she touched the Emperor's reverse scale, and for no reason, Fan Xian stood up again gently and cleverly for no reason!

When I thought about this, my inner self-mockery and regret bit the earthly center of the most beautiful woman in Qingguo like a poisonous snake.

"Ye Qingmei..." Her head began to hurt, and she said to herself like a moan: "Can I never get as good as you in my life, and even your son can defeat me so easily?"

Kyoto is at night.

Wuzhu, who had not appeared for a long time, appeared silently in a small alley behind Fan Mansion, covered with the black cloth.

At the end of the alley is a mattress with oil lamps like beans, shivering in the cold wind, and a man in ordinary clothes is sitting on a bench outside the mattress.
