After the plum garden is in the Guangxin Palace, the environment is extremely quiet, and after passing through the Tianxin Terrace, you will arrive at the Yinfeng Pavilion, which is the place where Xiao Fan recuperates at this time. Although it was His Majesty's special order to leave him in the palace to heal, and everyone in the palace knew how much he had done to the royal family this time, but a male minister lived in the palace for a long time, and there was always a feeling that it was not appropriate. Fan Xian also knew this, so he just stayed in the plum garden 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, and came 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, looked at the palace maids who were busy pouring soup on the side, and one of them had 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 various palaces when he entered the palace for the first time, she didn't expect that this little Fan still remembered herself, and she couldn't help but blush slightly, 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 attitude in her love, so she is very easy to get close to people, turned her head and said a few words to Wan'er, and chatted with Ruoruo about things at home, so that they can stay in the palace with peace of mind, and there is no problem with Fanfu.

The third prince sitting next to her, but now rì is much more honest in the past, and he does not have the arrogant attitude in the moon building, he lowers his head, has a bitter face, and does not say a word, only occasionally raises his head and sneaks a glance at the patient on the couch.

The incident of the Hanging Temple had already made him dissipate the anger of Fan Xian on the upper floor of Baoyue, after all, at that time, except for this "big cousin", no one cared about his 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, after all, they 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 stopping in front of him in the hanging temple, extremely chic and heroic, and an indescribable feeling of admiration was born 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 sullen 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 squeezed it on his palm 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 garden...... 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 the garden, and took away the eunuchs and palace maids who were serving beside them.

In the Yinfeng Pavilion, only Fan Xian and Yi Gui Concubine were left at this time, but it was always inconvenient for the young 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 is no warmth in these 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, he actually guessed hundreds of answers. Yi Guifei knew that His Majesty wanted Fan Xian to recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind, so he cut off one of his sources of information, 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 didn't panic first, the princes of Ning Cairen and Concubine Shu have all grown up, and they have their own forces, that is, the Yi Gui Concubine in front of them, although the family background is noble, and there is Fan Mansion as a force outside the palace, but the three princes are 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, Yi Guifei was still extremely worried and frightened at this time, clutching her handkerchief with both hands, as if she was worried that the assassin hiding in the guards would slash her 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 His 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 shouldn't be the target of the first gear by them." ”

Saying this in the palace, she was indeed a little bold, although there were no eavesdropping around the Yinfeng Pavilion, but Yi Gui Concubine's face still changed, and she laughed a little 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, she listened to Fan Xianfen and put most of her heart at ease, and then began to whisper to Fan Fu about the investigation outside the palace. Fan Xian didn't know the progress of the investigation, but because of her mother's relationship, she had a lot of eyeliner outside the palace, and the touch was basically similar to the real situation.

"Gong Dian has been arrested. ”

Fan Xian hummed lightly, and did not reveal the shock in his heart, the word Yi Guifei used to grasp this word, which means that the imperial court has already made a decision on 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 occurred, he was not by His Majesty's side!

Fan Xian was more interested in what this extremely confused Great Commander was 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 canon 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 killed 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...... That must be the 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 is an assassin in the palace of Xihu Zuoxian, 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 only then knew that the Hu assassin who died at the hands of Gonggong Hong was the descendant of the "fake princess" sent by Xihu when he was at the time of the founding of Qingguo, although many years have passed, but 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 ask for peace and call himself 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, and with the means of the Supervision Yuan, it should be able to find out clearly. He asked in a deep voice.

Concubine Yi nodded: "Check it very clearly." The little eunuch was a Kyoto ...... fifteen years ago The descendant of a 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...... 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 was the remnant of the bloody night fifteen years ago...... That bloody night I knew that it was the emperor, Chen Pingping, and my father who used it to avenge their mother, when the largest princes of Qingguo were uprooted, and I don't know how many people died in Kyoto, and even the queen's family was cut down to a single branch and leaf, 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, but they ...... 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 Dingzhou, he stays in the mansion honestly, and even the personal soldiers in the mansion are handed over to the Kyoto Mansion to take care of. ”

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

The two were about to say something, when they suddenly heard a faint voice from a corner of the plum garden, so they fell silent and began to talk about some side things. Fan Xian first apologized for the injury on the Yigong Mansion on behalf of the Guogong Mansion, and thanked Fan Xian for not avoiding relatives and relatives, and had the courage to discipline the children, which 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 Yigui Concubine leading the third child to the outside of the garden, 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 was 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?"

Fan Xian whispered the news brought by Yi Guifei, 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 is definitely not His Majesty's will, otherwise if Gong Dian shouts injustice, even His Majesty will not be able to end. ”

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, and the Ye family will naturally 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 no choice but to let the Ye family stand aside, at least in the important land of Kyoto, it is impossible to let them guard the two brothers and sisters anymore...... The most critical thing is that the Ye family has another great master who is the only one in our Qingguo on the bright side, as long as Ye Liuyun does not die for a day. is so general, you can't move the Ye family at all. ”

"That's why I used such a trick that 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: "His Majesty refers to marrying the second prince and Ye Ling'er...... If Ye Chong saw it accurately enough, he should have refused to marry at that time, even if he approved of this marriage, he should have resigned from the position of Kyoto garrison as soon as possible, not to mention returning to old age, even if he was transferred to the border line, he could 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 His Majesty would use such a small family's means." ”

Wan'er suddenly said: "In this way, the assassination of 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 in the calculation, or if His 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 behind?

Fan Xian slowly closed his eyes and said softly: "The assassin's bureau is so clever and 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. ”

In the end, he said to himself: "Obviously, this is an immortal bureau, a completely unexpected immortal bureau. ”

—————————————————————— in the yīn forest 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 in the bloody night fifteen years ago, and the younger brother of the legendary Si Gu 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 intelligence, and the leader said with a guilty face: "There is no information at all, although it is a dereliction of duty by 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 to herself that the fire that His Majesty shouted to set on fire, of course he couldn'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." ”
