Chapter 26: Returning to the House in Haste

However, it was a matter of an instant, Fan Xian immediately started kneading again with a smile on his face, but his voice was slightly surprised, “Four years ago?”

The Princess smiled, the corners of her lips arching into a nice curve, seeming to secretly marvel at this teenage boy in her mind, and changed the subject, “When did Fei Jie start teaching you.”

Fan Xian knew that the other party was trying something, his face remained unchanged, and he calmly returned, “That was when I was a child.” This was said in a very vague manner, and the Princess was in the way, so naturally she couldn’t ask in too much detail, only to hear her say with a smile, “If you didn’t know that Fei Jie was your teacher, I don’t think that many people, including those in the palace, would have known that your Fan family had such a close relationship with the Supervisory Yuan.”

Fan Xian’s hands became more and more gentle, and he answered more and more carefully, “I’m not really sure, it could be that Lord Father and Mr. Fei knew each other in the past.”

The eldest princess said softly, “Of course I know each other, in past years when the first Northern Expedition took place, your father and Fei Jie were both following the Emperor’s brother’s central army tent, so if I say that I don’t know each other, that would be rather a bit odd. But I was very young at that time, and it is even more unlikely that you know these things.”

“Yes.” Fan Xian knew that words were not enough, so he smiled faintly and did not continue to say anything. The Rapunzel, however, seemed to have come to talk at this time and continued to ask, “How is your grandmother’s health?”

“Grandma’s health is quite good.”

“Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen her.” Rapunzel responded softly, “I liked your grandmother the most when I was little, and whenever my brother tried to bully me back then, she was the one who protected me.”

Fan Xian smiled and thought, “If grandma knew that the current you wanted to kill me, I’m only afraid that back then, she would have taken a fundamental stick and knocked you to death.”

“His Majesty’s meaning, I think Lord Fan should have made it very clear to you.” The Rapunzel’s sweet and soft words suddenly spoke of such a serious topic. The comparison between the two was extraordinarily chilling.

Fan Xian’s brow frowned imperceptibly, knowing that the other party was talking about the inner treasury, and that it was impossible to play dumb at this point and muddle through any longer, so he could only say with a smile, “Listen to Your Majesty’s Princess’s arrangements.”

“Oh? I heard that you recently opened a bookstore and a tofu workshop in Kyoto.” The Princess couldn’t help but smile slightly, her eyes closed cheeks were still beautiful under a smile, “The children of the world’s families are mostly useless people who can only talk about things and can’t do anything, you can enter this line of work ahead of time and prepare for the future by pressing your hand into the inner treasury, this is something that I appreciate, it’s just that the tofu workshop thing is not too hocus pocus.”

Fan Xian hemmed and hawed and laughed twice, not knowing at all how he should respond.

“Actually, I want to kill you.” The atmosphere that had just seemed to have become a bit more cordial, but because of these icy words from the Eldest Princess with a smile on her face, it suddenly turned into a cold night on the northern border of the Kingdom of Qing, freezing everything in the Guangxin Palace, and the ambiguous white veil that fluttered around it drooped disheveledly and feebly.

Fan Xian still gently maintained his smile, only moving his right foot back two inches, assuming the easiest stance to power up.

The Inspectorate had long since detected Wu Bo’an’s relationship with this woman, and since this woman had already tried to kill herself twice, a third time in this clear and powdery but hidden murderous palace of Guangxin did not seem impossible.

Of course, one’s entry into the palace was a matter known to all in Kyoto, and it was reasonably unlikely that anyone would be crazy enough to lay hands on oneself in the palace, but after entering Guangxin Palace, and looking at the eldest princess’s childish demeanor, and the tone of her voice, Fan Xian had a chilling feeling in his heart for no reason at all.

–This woman seems to be insane!

He was massaging the head of the eldest princess at this time, although it was the other party’s request, and he was going to marry the other party’s daughter, but after all, there is a difference between men and women, and there is a difference between the upper and lower levels, in case this woman casually used the charge of molesting the princess and disrupting her family’s relationship, and deployed someone to snipe herself to death, how could those people behind her do it? It would be too late to save himself.

Fan Xian knew clearly that the real terror in this world was children, women, and madmen, because these three kinds of people could not be judged and analyzed with reason, and could do something crazy and with serious consequences at any time. And in Fan Xian’s eyes, this beautiful to the core young woman under his command was undoubtedly a combination of these three poisons.

The woman who was sober and venomous, but acted with the childishness of a child, and her methods were somewhat insane, constituted the distinctive, yet extraordinarily frightening presence of Eldest Princess Li Yunrui.

At this moment, a few palace maids walked into the hall, a light pomegranate color tight-fitting palace maid uniform, curves appear, but very convenient to strike, belt slightly thick. Fan Xian, who had been immersed in the way of assassination for ten years in Tanyu State, saw at a glance that inside those belts were extremely sharp soft swords!

However, his fingers still steadily rubbed the piece of soft moistness under the Elder Princess’s ear, and said with a smile on his face, “Why does Your Highness want to kill me?”

“Many people think that I have a reason to kill you, and that reason is very good.” The Eldest Princess still had her eyes closed, as if she wasn’t at all afraid that Fan Xian would storm back and kill herself under her fingers.

Fan Xian half-lowered his head, no longer answering at all, seeming to focus his attention on his own fingers; in fact, his eyes had been tightly closed up until now.

The Guangxin Palace was so quiet that even a ghost cat could be heard walking by. A few palace maids slowly leaned over to Lord Gong Chang’s side, Fan Xian’s eyes closed, his head just slightly off to the right.

“Please purify your hands, Lord Fan.” I don’t know where the palace maids brought warm water and towels again.

Fan Xian opened his eyes, bowed to the Eldest Princess, smiled again and thanked the palace maids, soaked his somewhat sore hands into the warm water, took the towel and wiped the water stains on his palms, and bowed to the end, “I wonder if Your Highness is feeling any better?”

Eldest Princess Li Yunrui looked at him with a smile, the soft waves of her eyes still carrying a hint of timidity, but Fan Xian knew that this woman was definitely the most terrifying type of person in the world.

“Much better.” Rapunzel slowly sat up straight, and with her sideways head, she straightened the black hair on her shoulders, and said softly with her head half lowered, “I can’t imagine that the husband Wan’er is going to marry has such a good technique, honestly, I’m a little reluctant …… to give up on you.”

Fan Xian was very respectful and quiet standing at the bottom of the head, did not dare to say one more word, he knew that in the face of a woman like this, no matter what you say, it will result in a very difficult to analyze the results, so simply play a thousand words improperly a silent means.

“You go, I’m a bit tired.” A flower bloomed at the corner of the Rapunzel’s lips as she softly said, “Bring a message to Sister Liu, I’m disappointed that she didn’t come to see me today.”

After Fan Xian respectfully left Guangxin Palace, the Eldest Princess’s beloved courtesan walked to her side and softly asked for instructions, “Princess, to kill or not to kill?” (voice-over: gale, gale!)

“It’s just teasing the children, otherwise life in this palace is really boring.” The eldest princess stretched out like a cat, lazy to the extreme, tantalizing to the extreme, “This teenager is really out of my expectation, rather like a thirty or forty year old person in general, very tolerant, very able to conceal.”

The Eldest Princess certainly did not move to kill today at first, but looking at Fan Xian’s step-by-step defense, not revealing any half-breaks, this marvelous woman who regarded fighting as a game was gradually itching in her heart, and with her position in this palace, as well as the perverted mind that Fan Xian could even think of, if Fan Xian really lost his concentration for a little while, I’m afraid that she would really order him to be killed.

Her gaze glanced at the palace door that was vaguely visible through the draping heavy white veil, a weird smile spreading from the corner of her lips as she thought in her heart: ”In that moment before you were ready to strike, slightly inclining your head, what does this mean? This palace is really curious, Fan Xian …… how exactly did you grow up? Pity ah pity.” I don’t know what this woman was pitying, perhaps it was pitying the perilous situation that Fan Xian was going to face in a few days?

Fan Xian had grown up playing with poisons, so he found that the eldest princess was a powerful poison that he had rarely seen in his life, a character that was very difficult for his current self to deal with. After leaving the Guangxin Palace, he expressionlessly looked at the somewhat drowsy palace maid, Shing’er, and coldly said, “Go back.” Then the first to Yi Gui concubine’s palace traveling, actually did not go the wrong way.

The courtesan woke up at this time only to find that this Fan Gongzi’s back is already wet with sweat, light green shirt was dipped out a dark color trace, look very wretched.

Out of the palace, on the carriage waiting at the far end of the square, Fan Xian’s face was a little white, his palm rested on the pills pressed in his belt between his abdomen, and he laughed mockingly, not knowing whether he was a meticulous thinker or a timid as a mouse. If the Eldest Princess really wanted to kill herself, how could she choose to be in Guangxin Palace?

“Is it alright?” Fan Ruo Ruo looked sympathetically at her elder brother, not even knowing how draining his conversation in Guang Xin Palace had been, thinking that he was just tired from going around to pay his respects to the Empress.

Fan Xian smiled and shook his head, relaying to Liu the greetings that those palace matrons had asked him to convey, and then he began to urge the carriage to hurry back to the palace. Liu and Fan Ruoruo gave him a curious look, not understanding why he was in such a hurry.

The carriage drove into the side alley next to the Fan Mansion, and after Fan Xian apologized to Liu, he took his sister’s small, cold hand and darted toward the back garden, and in just a few moments, he was in the study.

Fan Ruoruo pressed the chest that kept rising and falling, came up for air and said, “Brother …… do what ……?”
