Chapter 71: Life cannot bear it...

"Your Majesty likes to see people plant flowers and plants, and likes to see scenery."

"Oh? Isn't that a lot like Uncle Wang's hobby?"

"He is very lazy, just to see. Where can anyone dare to let him do it yourself?"

"I heard...that girl Haitang likes to get close to the countryside?"

A cold incident.

"Your Majesty...is a very interesting person."

"Your Majesty... Actually, he often does a lot of interesting things... but since he was young, he was taught by his mother with his ears to govern the country, and we rarely see him."

In the flower hall, the princess's words with a faint smile rang from time to time. Fan Xian stood outside the door and listened quietly, knowing that what the woman said was not false. The Northern Qi royal family had also had a turmoil more than ten years ago. I don’t know how many princes and nobles involved, including the biological father of Miss Shen who is hiding in the palace, who is heavy, and he made his mark because of this incident.

The Empress Dowager of Northern Qi only has the son of the Emperor of Northern Qi, and the other princesses were born to the other concubines of the late Emperor of Northern Qi. Although the eldest princess who married to Nanqing was respected by the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi and his son, he was not his biological child after all. There was always a little between them. After experiencing the tragic experience of holding a child to survive, the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi would certainly be very alert to other royal children.

These people from Nan Qing were a little curious about the little emperor of Northern Qi. They asked none of them at this time, but the princess couldn't say any details. They said it in an empty way and it was interesting and interesting.

Ye Ling'er saw him eavesdropping outside the door and looked at him curiously.

Fan Xian smiled and pushed the door open.

The princess, who was frowning, saw him coming in, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You should stop asking me. I really can't figure out the Majesty of Our Family. I am too lazy to see him in the palace on weekdays. When I was a child, the Queen Mother took care of him very strictly. When she was old, she was busy with state affairs... But Fan Xian, he traveled with Your Majesty several times in Northern Qi. Your Majesty has always loved him very much. If you want to ask anything interesting, it's better to ask him."

At this time, Fan Xian and Ye Ling'er returned to their seats. Ye Ling'er came to Lin Wan'er, excited, and lowered her voice to express her longing after leaving. She ignored the conversations of the others. Fan Xian and the second prince smiled helplessly, but did not notice that someone mentioned his name.

When everyone heard the words of the eldest princess, they remembered that except for the princess, the only one who had seen the young emperor of Northern Qi during the meal was Fan Xian, and it was well known to everyone. The young emperor attached great importance to Fan Xian's poetry and talent.

Prince Li Hongcheng burped, looked at Fan Xian and said, "Anzhi, what kind of person is the Emperor of Northern Qi?"

Fan Xian was stunned and woke up. He said, "The king of a country is not something I, the foreign minister, are you interested in talking about."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall felt a little embarrassed. In front of the princess, it was indeed not a very appropriate thing to discuss the right and wrong of the Northern Qi emperor. It was just that human curiosity was always difficult to suppress, including the second prince. They all urged Fan Xian to say a few more words.

Fan Xian scratched his head and asked, "Why are you so interested in the Northern Qi Emperor?"

The men in the flower hall suddenly fell silent, with embarrassment on their faces. Only the three girls whispered like ants gnawing on leaves.

As soon as these words were spoken, the eldest prince and the second prince nodded one after another.

Fan Xian was slightly shocked. He looked at this scene and felt a little surprised. He was shocked by the serious expressions of the three royal children and could not speak for a long time. Only then did he think clearly that for himself, Northern Qi was just a partner, but for the younger generation of powerful people in the Qing Kingdom, Northern Qi was destined to be wiped out and annexed by the Daqing Dynasty.

Nan Qing is good at martial arts. The people of the previous generation have already built a large land. Now the world is left to the new generation of people. The big but not rigid Northern Qi is the North Qi. This is a kind of fanaticism that is deeply embedded in the blood. Neither the eldest prince nor Li Hongcheng can get rid of this fanaticism. Even the gentle and solemn role of the second prince is still obsessed with attacking Northern Qi.

Nanqing was in a prosperous state and had maintained an offensive momentum for thirty years. For the people of Nanqing, this was no longer a question that needed to be considered. All that needed to be considered was when to attack Northern Qi... So what kind of person the Emperor of Northern Qi was was, it was very important for the three royal children in the hall.

It’s clear to the second prince’s deep thought expression. Being able to unify the world is the ultimate goal of all Nan Qing people, and he can even temporarily suppress his anxiety about the dragon throne.

"It is said that the Emperor of Northern Qi does not like women, but last time he specifically wanted to exchange the Lili for the Northern Qi... Anzhi, you were the envoy last time, what details can you find in Shangjing?" the eldest prince asked seriously.

Fan Xian said slowly after a while: "It's true that it's not close to women. There are only a few concubines in the huge palace, and in order to prevent the regeneration of the relatives from the foreign powers, the little emperor resisted the pressure of the big family in the capital. The concubines he selected were all from civilians, and it's strange that the empress dowager did not seem to object to this arrangement."

The second prince frowned and said, "Even if it is to prevent the foreign relatives from being in great power, this arrangement is not a good idea for appeasement of the ministers, and this is inappropriate."

Fan Xian nodded and pretended to be worried and said, "As the princess said before, the emperor was really unable to see through. He was obviously close to him, but he always felt that there was a very clever disguise on him."

Li Hongcheng laughed: "Come on, that emperor is very honest to you. You said you were a foreign minister before. I think the people of Northern Qi do not regard you as a foreign minister. Otherwise, after sniping, how could they send a letter of nationality to Kyoto to protest?"

The eldest prince shook his head in anger and said, "The people of Northern Qi bullied me too much, and they actually played like this."

Fan Xian smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with me."

When it comes to sniping, the second prince was not embarrassed. He looked selfless and wide-minded. He made fun of Fan Xian and said, "Of course the matter has nothing to do with you. If you don't say you are from Nanqing, you just want to be a North Qi. Even if the little emperor likes you and takes you to North Qi, can he still marry his sister to you?"

Ye Ling'er said at this time: "I think it's really possible... Fan Xiansheng is so beautiful, and the little emperor of Northern Qi is his fanatic."

As soon as this statement was spoken, serious discussion became a stubborn joke.

Fan Xian smiled with his lips and watched the men and women talking calmly. They talked about interesting stories in the palace back then, but Fan Xian didn't know it, and gradually developed the illusion of being excluded from the aura. To put it bluntly, before he entered Kyoto, the men and women in the flower hall grew up watching each other since childhood. The young generation of the Qing Dynasty royal family had always had a good relationship. He... was originally an outsider.

However, Fan Xian did not immerse himself in this emotion too much. Because of the previous discussion about the young emperor of Northern Qi, he fell into deep thought and felt vaguely that he seemed to be catching something very mysterious.

In his mind, he passed the situation in detail when he met the Northern Qi Emperor in Shangjing City, and carefully reviewed the tacit cooperation with the other party for a year and a half, and supplemented with the aesthetic interests and small details of the Northern Qi Emperor's life. Gradually, a light in his mind was about to rush out.

But I can't rush out.

In the faint fragrance, Fan Xian was stunned, so that the people around him calmly looked at him, but he had not noticed it yet.

Fan Xian suddenly realized that he had lost his composure, smiled awkwardly, and subconsciously said, "It smells so good."

So fragrant!

A faint fragrance filled the flower hall. Fan Xian was stunned, and it seemed that there was some magic at the end of his nose that made him lose his mind again. This fragrance was actually extremely light and elegant, but for him, it was so rich and so thrilling!

When he turned around, he saw that the eldest princess had already left and had changed into a dress. Fan Xian asked with a reluctant smile: "Where does the fragrance come from?"

The eldest princess was slightly stunned and then laughed: "I didn't expect that you are not only smart, but also have delicate thoughts and noses. This sachet has been worn on me for a year, and the prince has never smelled it. As soon as you put it on today, you smell it."

Everyone looked at Fan Xian curiously, and Ye Ling'er even sniffed. She didn't smell any special fragrance, but the fragrance burning in the flower hall was swept by the cold wind on the lake, extremely calm.

"Isn't it fragrant?" Ye Ling'er asked curiously.

The princess smiled and said, "Of course it's not incense." She took out an extremely delicate and compact sachet from her waist and said, "Bring the land from Shangjing City."

Fan Xian had an extremely strong impulse. He wanted to hold the sachet in his hand and smell it carefully, but the sachet was a woman's close object and was meaningful. No matter how hard he made this request.

After hearing the princess' words, his face calmed down and he asked with a smile: "They have never been to Northern Qi, so of course they can't smell this faint fragrance. I have been to it. No wonder I can smell it."

The princess smiled and shook her head and said, "I bet you must have never smelled it... You have been to the imperial palace in the capital, have you ever gone to the back mountain?"

Fan Xian nodded.

The princess said: "The golden osmanthus is held in this sachet. The golden osmanthus is on the mountain, and there should be only one in the whole world... The golden osmanthus fragrance is extremely light, and if you don't care, you can't smell it no matter how you do it."

Fan Xian smiled and said, "I went up the mountain and stayed in the pavilion by the stream for a few formations, but I didn't see this rare golden osmanthus flower."

"Growing on the top of the mountain." The princess said with a smile: "It was the national master who transplanted it from the north by himself, and the fragrance was not very strong. So no one has ever collected its stamens as sachets... So I dare say. Even if you have been in the palace, you have never smelled its smell."

Fan Xian asked in surprise: "The princess, your sachet..."

Everyone was a little depressed. Why did Fan Xian be obsessed with this sachet and asked questions all the time. Fan Xian was also afraid of showing his flaws, so he explained with a smile: "I like this fragrance, I want to pick up one for Wan'er."

Lin Wan'er smiled slightly, knowing that her husband must not think so. But others didn't know that, and the eldest prince disagreed and said, "How can a big man focus on the family affairs of these daughters?"

The eldest princess glared at him and said, "A person who can get on a horse and embroider a flower is a real good man."

The eldest prince immediately shut up.

The eldest princess turned to Fan Xian and smiled: "You want to pick up a piece of Princess Chen, but it's not easy... No, it may not be easy for people around the world, but you have the chance... you can write a book by yourself and ask His Majesty for yourselves."

This Majesty is naturally the Majesty of Northern Qi.

Fan Xian smiled gently and said, "Is this one on the princess also a land granted to His Majesty of Your Country?"

"Yes." The princess's eyes showed a little homesickness and said lightly: "In the past, there was only one of His Majesty's sachets wearing golden osmanthus flowers in the capital. He said he liked this light and clear taste. On the night before I left the capital, His Majesty gave me his close sachet so that I could remember the smell of my hometown in the south."

The atmosphere in the flower hall became a little sad by the princess's faint words.

Fan Xian's eyes glanced at the sachet and smiled, without saying anything else.

After having a meal in the Great Prince's Mansion, it was already late. During this period, under the arrangement of the eldest prince, Fan Xian and the second prince had another deep conversation in the study, but the two of them had already talked deeply enough on the Baoyue Tower. Now the second prince is supported by the Ye family and a great master. He is definitely unwilling to take a step back. Although Fan Xian knew that his situation was as the second prince said, it seemed to be as powerful as a mountain, but in fact it was as dangerous as a burden, but he was in the world and could not help himself. He wanted to withdraw, and there was no possibility.

At least the Emperor of Qing will not allow it.

After the second prince finally looked at him deeply, he slowly said, "Anzhi. There is something I must remind you... There is no doubt that you are the biggest troublemaker in Qingguo in the past two years... and you also know the things that happened back then, why did your father let you live and grow up in Danzhou, instead of cleaning up all the troubles the most simply?"

Fan Xian lowered his head slightly, thinking that the second prince is indeed a very convincing character. If he does not consider the threat of Wu Zhu to the emperor, the Emperor of Qing State secretly protecting his growth can only explain one thing. Although the king is ruthless, he always has three mercy on his children.

"The Father will not allow us brothers to do something too intense." The second prince looked at him and said quietly: "But for you, if the situation cannot intensify, you can only sit and watch the flowing water go east, and the situation will get worse day by day. This is your problem."

Fan Xian smiled slightly, thinking that the situation was about to intensify, and to keep everything he had at present, people from other places would inevitably have to bear unbearable costs.

"Don't care about life and death." Fan Xian looked at the second prince and said seriously.

Life and death have two meanings. One is that one must distinguish between life and death, and the other is that only discusses struggle and does not involve each other's life and death.

The second prince raised his hand and patted Fan Xian lightly.

In the afternoon, news came from the Supervision Bureau, saying that there was something strange about Xihu and that military information had been sent to the Privy Council. It was reported in the palace that Fan Xianjin met. As the commander of the imperial guards, the eldest prince had to leave, but the second prince and Li Hongcheng could still stay in the palace.

Fan Xian asked his wife to talk to Ye Ling'er for a while. He left the palace alone and got on his own carriage. Without waiting for the eldest prince, he ordered the carriage to slowly walk along the street behind the snow in Kyoto.

The Xihu matter is not urgent. It takes at least one month for news from the two places to go back and forth. There is no need to rush to enter the palace at this time. Fan Xian needs time to digest what he encountered today.

The black carriage walked around the streets of Kyoto for a few times. He drove onto the relatively quiet streets and sat in the coachman's position, Tengko-kyo looked around vigilantly. The disguised spies in front, back and left and right of the carriage kept Fan Xian's safety.

Fan Xian closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the chair in the car. His face was a little pale and his lips were a little dry.

The faint fragrance of golden osmanthus flowers... It turned out that the fragrance of golden osmanthus flowers that night was the fragrance of golden osmanthus flowers. He thought of that night, that temple, that field, and the belt that had not been tied. But it was clearly Lili Si... It was Lili Si... but the fragrance that had been woken up, the hands that rubbed on his temples?

His thin lips trembled twice, he whispered a few quick swear words, and subconsciously slapped the car board beside him.

With a loud bang, Fan Xian's palm was heavily in anger, and the extremely domineering true energy in his body surged out. The palm wind was touched by it, and in one moment, the sound of wood shattering on the quiet street was loudly heard.

The black carriage was like paper-paste, and half of it was slapped by this palm. The wheels were broken, the carriage was overturned, the horse was frightened, and the hooves were not stopped. Fujiko Kyo was shocked and barely stood there.

The dust gradually became smoother and Fan Xian stood in a daze among the woods and gravels all over the ground in a black official uniform.

Beside him, the tiger guard Gao Da half-out of the sheath, and his eyes were shot in his eyes, trying to find the trace of the assassin. Seven or eight swordsmen were distributed around him, holding the iron rod on his waist tightly, and the crossbow arrow in his left hand aimed at the periphery.
