Chapter 202 Fan Xian's Guilt
‘Are we there yet…’
The princess said to herself. She had prepared herself mentally before being summoned by Emperor Qing.
Because the assassin who almost died under Yan Xiaoyi’s arrow was exposed in her palace.
“Yun Rui, what were you doing when the assassin appeared?”
The emperor Qing asked.
“Your Majesty, I was exchanging ideas about literature with Zhuang Mohan.”
The princess stood up and bowed, not choosing to hide anything.
Such a big thing had happened, and all the people entering and leaving the palace would be thoroughly investigated. She couldn’t hide it even if she wanted to.
It would be better to confess now, and there would still be room for detours.
“Oh, this person is a literary master in Northern Qi, and he just framed the hope of my literary world in Southern Qing not long ago. You summoned him into the palace late at night for the so-called literary exchange?”
The emperor Qing sneered.
The princess forced a smile and said, "Anyway, Zhuang Mohan has been a scholar all his life, and all the scholars in the world regard him as their teacher.
Even if such a person has a scandal, there will still be many people who give him face, and I think we should appease them a little."
"So, you are still doing this for Qing?"
"I dare not."
The princess felt sad. Even if she admired her brother, she could not trust him.
"Hmph, the guards and maids in the princess's mansion will be handed over to the Inspection Institute for investigation!
You, be confined to the mansion for a month!"
"Yes."
The princess knew that Emperor Qing was really angry today, and he had given her face, so she dared not disobey.
Ninth-rank masters are rare in the world, not to mention that Yan Xiaoyi is a ninth-rank archer.
To put it more seriously, Nanqing lost such a great general, and Beiqi might take the opportunity to start a war again!
However, Yan Xiaoyi's loyalty is not as good as his loyalty to her, and the princess felt bitter.
Emperor Qing should be angry, so how could she not be angry?
It can be said that she was the one who suffered the most in this incident.
Damn Tiansha Palace!
…………
Fan Mansion.
Fan Xian fell into a coma due to his serious injuries. The hideous wounds had been bandaged, but it would take a long time for him to recover.
"Where did he go? Is it related to the assassination in the palace?!"
Fan Jian was furious and asked Fan Ruoruo.
Such a big thing cannot be concealed.
When Fan Xian was sent to Fan Mansion by Wang Qinian, he had already lost consciousness and could not treat himself.
Wu Zhu and Fan Ruoruo did not know any medical skills, and now something big had happened, and the wind was flying. If they rashly went to find a doctor at this time, they would definitely be questioned.
Forced to do so, Fan Ruoruo had to tell Fan Jian about Fan Xian's serious injuries, and asked him to use his connections to find a doctor to come to his home for treatment, and promised a large sum of money to wipe his ass.
"Daddy, don't ask!"
Fan Ruoruo cried a little.
"Speak!"
Fan Jian was furious.
He knew that Fan Xian's injury was related to the assassination in the palace!
Fan Xian was even the assassin himself!
"Dad, please don't embarrass Ruoruo..."
Fan Xian woke up slowly, smiled bitterly, and felt guilty.
He used to think that Fan Jian was a good guy, and he could treat him as a biological father like those fairies in his previous life.
But after these days of getting along, Fan Jian was not as he imagined.
"You're awake."
Fan Jian suppressed his anger and tried to be as calm as possible, saying: "I don't care about your secrets, and I won't go into them. But this time, the matter is too big. I have received news from my old friend in the Inspection Institute. The assassin who assassinated the emperor in the palace this time is suspected to be seriously injured.
They concluded that with such injuries, the man would definitely not be able to escape from Kyoto, and the injuries could never be concealed.
Now the city guards have blocked the entire Kyoto.
The city guards and the Inspection Institute are jointly investigating the case! They are searching for people door to door. Anyone with injuries will be arrested and interrogated, no matter what the injuries are or when they were injured!
Even if you have the waist badge of the Inspection Institute, you can't avoid going to jail!"
Fan Xian's face froze, knowing that the matter was serious.
"Tell me the matter first, I won't hurt you!"
Fan Xian sighed, and still told Fan Jian the truth.
He became famous at a young age, and he had powerful martial arts skills. He thought that this matter was foolproof, so he dared to act like this.
Now that the plan has failed, thinking back carefully, this is clearly a beheading, no, extermination of the nine clans, no matter what, Dad should have the right to know.
"You stole things from the Queen Mother's residence, you..."
Fan Jian raised his hand tremblingly, with a complicated expression, and did not say the second half of the sentence.
You really have the same temper as your mother...
"Dad, I accept whether you want to beat or scold me, but the most urgent thing is to conceal this matter first."
Fan Xian smiled bitterly.
"Even if you are a warrior with a strong physique, this kind of injury will not heal in less than a month, but there is a way."
Fan Jian sighed.
"What way?"
Fan Xian looked excited. If he was alone, he would not be afraid of death, but the technique of Emperor's Escape and Nine Clan Separation was not that simple.
If possible, he did not want to implicate dozens of lives in the Fan Mansion.
"Meng, the great doctor, can heal a person from death. If she can cure your injury, it will be very easy."
"Meng, can my injury heal overnight?!"
Fan Xian's eyes widened.
"You underestimate Meng. Why does it take one night? An hour and a quarter will do."
Fan Jian stroked his beard. Everyone knew that Meng was the master of the Imperial Hospital, but they didn't know the details. Just like Wang Qinian, they could only sigh at his unparalleled medical skills.
He had the honor to accompany Emperor Qing on his incognito tour and witnessed the miraculous medical skills with his own eyes.
Not to mention him, even the emperor who controlled the entire Southern Qing had fiery eyes and wished to kidnap Meng Jiang on the spot.
The dead and the living, the flesh and bones... It is an exaggeration for others, but it is just right to describe the medical skills of Mr. Meng!
"Then let's go!"
Fan Xian's eyes lit up, confident that Bai Jing would definitely help him.
"What do you have to ask him to help?
You know, you did something that cost you your head, and the third prince would not be unable to guess your injury.
The third prince favored you before because you are valuable, but if the matter is exposed, you will be dead.
If you die, Princess Lin's engagement will be cancelled, and he would rather you die!"
Fan Jian said coldly.
Hearing this, Fan Xian was shocked and suddenly realized why Bai Jing was so decisive in handing him the map of the palace.
'Could it be that my father was right... The third prince thought so? ’
Fan Xian was desperate. Apart from this, he couldn’t think of any other reason.
Even Chen Pingping wouldn’t dare to help him conceal such a serious crime, and he didn’t even know why Chen Pingping was so good to him.
“There is only one way to deal with it now.”
Fan Jian looked at Fan Ruoruo, and then at Wang Qinian.
“I remember you. You were a clerk in the Inspection Institute in the past. After being expelled, you became a retainer of Fan Xian.”
Fan Xian said, “Dad, if you have anything to do, just tell him.”
“Well, let him escort Ruoruo to the Third Prince’s residence.”
“What?!”
