Chapter 159: A Tree of Flowers, a Thousand Voices of the Zither, and a Human Being

Fan Xian stood at the entrance to the Taiping Special Courtyard, squinting at the hidden green color in the courtyard, and not saying a word since he said those words. More than a dozen Xinyang experts looked at him with stunned faces, not knowing what had happened in Kyoto, and how the Supervisory Board’s Chief Superintendent, who should have been trapped in the palace, had suddenly appeared in front of the Taiping Special Courtyard.

A gust of wind traveled through the bamboo forest and removed some of the heat from around the crowd in a clear and quiet manner. The Xinyang experts let out a low cry and came towards Fan Xian to kill him. Fan Xian frowned and retreated, his left arm seemed to be able to twist, striking out horizontally and horizontally, his fist suddenly unfolding at the extremity of its extension, like an old tree opening a bushel of leaves, snapping and slapping at the side of one of the expert’s cheeks.

Although he didn’t slap it solidly, it still made that expert’s teeth fall in half, blood flowed horizontally, and he fell to the ground and fainted directly.

Fan Xian stood on his tiptoes, the overbearing true qi in his body sprinting out, his entire body shrinking, like a faint shadow, rushing backward out of the encirclement, looking at these people who were gritting their teeth and rushing over, the blood in his eyes flourishing even more, his palms trembling slightly.

Just like what he had once said when he had first set up the plan with Prince Xiaoyan, today’s Kyoto was basically an empty city for Fan Xian. The most powerful people in the world who could threaten him had all been attracted by His Majesty to the Great Eastern Mountain, and both the masters of Northern Qi and the numbing Ninth Grade swordsmen in the city of Dongyi had all been sucked in like magnets by that jade-like mountain.

There were only three Ninth Grade in Kyoto, Master Qin was dead, Ye Chong was one of his own, and Fan Xian had this confidence that as long as he didn’t get caught up in the chaos, who would be able to kill him?

It was only because he was unable to know the whereabouts of Wan’er and Dabao, and didn’t dare to attack forcefully, that he once again gambled on a store and came to knock on the door outside of the Taiping Buyeo – this might be a bit arrogant, but it was actually a kind of helplessness. For this kind of maneuver of the Princess, as hostile and strong as Fan Xian, he could only temporarily take off the overbearing flavor and turn to find another way.

However, these Xinyang experts didn’t know that Little Lord Fan was preparing a verbal attack, and in shock, they naturally went all out. Only a glance, there are people seriously injured, the next do not know what kind of a bloody battle.

At that moment, those experts who were rushing towards Fan Xian stopped in their tracks. The crossbows and arrows poking out from the walls of the Taiping Courtyard had also raised their arrows and were no longer pointed at Fan Xian – Fan Xian’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the crossbows and arrows, and his heart chilled. But there are always too many things that can’t be helped in life, if we want Wan’er Dabao to be safe, this Tiger Mountain in front of us can only be biased in its favor.

No one to stop Fan Xian’s entry into the courtyard, countless pairs of eyes either explicitly or implicitly watching his every move, as long as he slightly different reaction, I’m afraid that the real sniping will begin.

Because at this time in the Taiping courtyard, came a very elegant and faint sound of guqin. The sound was like flowing water murmuring, clearing the mind and calming the nature, making the hearer feel at ease without anxiety.

Since Her Highness had already given her orders with the sound of the zither, the experts all over the Taiping courtyard naturally no longer blocked Fan Xian’s entry. However, there were endless doubts in their hearts: why did Her Highness let Fan Xian enter? Did she not know how terrifying Fan Xian was? Why didn’t she take the opportunity to kill Fan Xian in one fell swoop when he came alone?

More than ten people slowly escorted or watched over Fan Xian, entering the main gate of the Taiping Special Courtyard before stopping before the second trestle bridge. The area ahead was forbidden, and no one was allowed to enter unless personally ordered by Her Highness the Princess.

Fan Xian stood before the trestle bridge and looked down at the wooden planks on the bridge. There were gaps between the wooden planks, allowing him to see the clear river below. The flow crystal river in the section of Taiping courtyard, by the stone path on the island, separated into a stall of slow water, like a flat lake, the surface of the water seems to be forever static, will not flow.

The sound of the ancient zither, which was quiet and peaceful, came out from the inner courtyard across the bridge and gently entered his ears. He looked down at the flowing water and listened to the sound of the zither with his ears, as if trying to judge the state of mind of the zither player at this moment.

A few moments later, he carefully organized his clothes, stepped onto the bridge, walked smoothly to the island, pushed open the wooden door of the inner courtyard, raised his eyes to quietly look at the woman who was gently stroking the strings of the zither under the pavilion on the lakeside at the heart of the island, and clasped his hands together in a respectful salute, saying, “Greetings to you, Your Highness.”

The sound of the zither did not have the slightest interruption due to this sudden greeting, the hands of those green fingers and white wrists, picking and pressing and flicking on the zither strings, were still as smooth as ever.

Li Yunrui slightly lowered his head, seemed to put all his attention on the seven strings of the zither in front of him, only the wrist slightly sunk, the fingertips slid to the right end, the sound of the zither compared to the previous clear and quiet, appeared to be more and more implicit and elegant up.

Just see the small lake in the center of the island was blown up by the autumn wind a few ripples, the lakeshore masonry stone green, and the body around the short shallow hills reflect the beauty. A pavilion on the hill, the man and the piano is not in the pavilion, but under the flower tree, the tree stamens light pink, I do not know what the name. Autumn wind wrinkled the green pool, whisked on the top of the flower tree, water movement petals fall like rain, fell on the Princess broad-sleeved ancient clothes, such as embellished with a slightly deeper flower shadow.

Fan Xian quietly looked at the place, looking at Li Yunrui that quiet and calm but still hard to hide the charming face. Today, the Princess was not dressed in full costume, but just lightly hooked the tip of her eyebrows, but the natural flavor of its own style was rendered all over the garden. A head of black beautiful long hair spread behind the shoulder, just with a side of silk scarf in the back of the head pulled a pull, more obvious clear and comfortable.

She was bowing her head to play the zither, her eyes slightly drooping, her long eyelashes softly resting on top of her jade-like skin, making Fan Xian unable to help but think of the pair of eyes his wife had inherited from her.

If he didn’t know who she was, if he didn’t deliberately associate her with her age, then any man would have to recognize this woman’s charm.

Fan Xian walked along the green stones that lined the shore of the lake, squinting slightly amidst the sound of the zither, before speaking, “Yan Xiaoyi is dead.”

The sound of the zither remained slightly low and buzzing, occasionally picking up and emitting a few trills, indicating that he had known about this and did not need to say much.

“Qin Heng is dead.” Fan Xian stared at those hands of hers and said softly.

The two fingers of Li Yunrui’s right hand slid over the fourth string and pressed it down twice, and the ancient zither under her fingers let out a leisurely sound.

Fan Xian did not hesitate for any moment, and his plain and powerful words forced their way straight through, “Qin Ye is also dead.”

Li Yunrui still did not look up, but the speed of the seven strings of the guqin was getting slower and slower, gradually becoming sad. However, the guqin is elegant and light, sad but not hurt, light thoughts of separation at a glance. Just in the hands behind the wide sleeve of the slight tremor, can vaguely capture the mood of the Princess.

Suddenly, the sound of the zither but also high-pitched up. Just the sound of the ancient zither was originally known as low and elegant, fingertip plucking and then speed, the range of sound is always limited to that range. Originally should be full of hostility of a piece of playing, but with the speed of the feeling is completely different from the slow, in the declaration of Yongzheng pure and flavor.

Only a confident person could play the right sound.

At this time Fan Xian has walked to the flower tree, walked to her side, looked down at those like waves up and down the strings, suddenly opened his mouth and said: “The world called me a talented person, in fact, I do not know anything about the sound and rhythm. The mind you use, for me, I’m afraid it really deserves the phrase of playing to a cow.”

Li Yunrui should not have heard of the phrase “playing to a cow”, she still lowered her head, stroking the strings of the zither in a mesmerized and undistracted manner. This piece of music was not even known to be played for which soulmate, but it just so happened that Fan Xian came to Taiping at this time.

Fan Xian had a thick face, never knowing what coyness was, and when he saw that the other party was ignoring him, he smiled to himself and sat down on his butt beside the eldest princess, then said naturally to the side of her face, “Ye Chong has rebelled.”

The sound of the zither suddenly went haywire, a muffled sound of buzzing, curling up and spreading across the lakeside green hill flower trees. The strings of the zither struggled for a while and broke three of them!

The Eldest Princess slowly raised her head and looked into Fan Xian’s eyes, and in only a split second had returned to her calm mood, saying, “Every time I see you, it seems that I don’t hear any good news.”

Although the Princess and Fan Xian had stood on their respective sides for the past few years, constantly engaging in rivalry and conflict, and the fight between the two had permeated the major events of the Qing Dynasty’s courtroom over the past few years, yet marvelously enough, Fan Xian and she hadn’t met a few times, and the pair that had become each other’s greatest enemies weren’t actually all that familiar with each other.

“If you wish to hear good news, then following the good news should come my head.” Fan Xian said softly to the Elder Princess, his gaze sweeping around intentionally or unintentionally, but unfortunately nothing was found, his eyes dimming slightly for a moment.

At this time, the Princess’s hands quietly stroked on top of the ancient zither whose strings had been broken, her eyes slightly closed, and her skin color, which was already extremely fair, appeared to be even whiter at this time, even to become transparent, and the usual tempting redness had gone nowhere.

Fan Xian’s sudden appearance in Taiping courtyard was indeed out of her expectation. This was because Fan Xian’s speed was too fast, and she had not yet had the time to report back on the specifics of Kyoto by sending out people among the rebels. And she had vaguely sensed a hint of a problem, so instead of making a move on Fan Xian in the first place, she had let him in to see how the second half of the story actually happened.

Moreover, she held Fan Xian’s lifeblood in her hands, so she didn’t care at all that this good son-in-law had any heavenly skills.

It was just that Fan Xian’s four facts one after the other had finally loosened the Princess’s mind. Although she had guessed about Yan Xiaoyi’s death as early as after Fan Xian showed up in Kyoto, she couldn’t help but feel slightly saddened at this time when she got the personal confirmation from the person in question; after all, this Grand Metropolitan Governor had always been a close confidant of hers, promoted by her, and had been loyal to her.

The deaths of Qin Heng and Qin Ye had also caused the Princess to palpitate a little, and she hadn’t thought that the situation in Kyoto would actually turn out to be like this. Fan Xian’s last sentence revealed all the answers, causing her to finally become angry.

After just a moment of anger, the eldest princess had calmed down, opening her eyes, her lips exhaling like orchids, but with some faint misery: “But you still came to beg me.”

“Since I have come, you can naturally guess what is happening in the capital.” Fan Xian slightly lowered his head and naturally sat beside the Elder Princess. He and the Eldest Princess knew each other well, and the reason why he dared to enter the courtyard singly and the Eldest Princess let him in was because each held the other’s lifeblood in their hands, and neither was willing to cut off all possibilities in the first place.

The Eldest Princess had captured Wan’er and Dabao, while Fan Xian had already gained an irreversible advantage in Kyoto.

Li Yunrui suddenly lowered her head, her broad sleeves covering the broken-stringed guqin, and her light-colored dress shook slightly under the drive of her shoulders, looking very pitiful.

“I’ve come to request you.” Fan Xian said sincerely, “Forget it.”

When Li Yunrui heard the words forget it, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Fan Xian with an indifferent gaze, not uttering a word. Although the gaze was indifferent, Fan Xian saw in it a touch of deep-seated resentment, only that this resentment was obviously not directed at himself, but rather looked through himself and stabbed straight at certain people who were not present.

“Forget it? What qualifications do you have to say these three words to me?” Li Yunrui smiled with slight irony, picked up a faint petal on his shoulder, and said, “Ye Chong would actually rebel …… This is really out of my expectation. But since you are here, what do I have to worry about? Perhaps many people would be afraid of your force, your mind, and the Supervisory Court, but I am the only one who, from the very beginning, has never worried about your existence.”

Fan Xian was silent.

“All people think that underneath your outside glory is a ruthless heart.” The Eldest Princess looked at him with a slight sneer, “I have to say that you’ve disguised yourself really well in the Supervisory Court these past few years, making people think that when it comes to a moment of great interest, you can transform into a person of six. But I know …… you never are.”

“That’s why you captured Wan’er and Dabao and refused to let go for even a moment.” Fan Xian cut her off.

“Two years ago, I said that you looked powerful, but in reality, you were unbearable.” Li Yunrui said slowly, “You care about too many people in this world, and you have lifelines all over your body, so if I grabbed one at random, you wouldn’t be able to turn …… around, or else at this moment, if you don’t stay in Kyoto, why would you sneak around and come to me?”

Fan Xian lowered his head and said quietly after a moment, “I must admit, you are indeed an extremely accurate judge of people. There are too many relatives I am concerned about, which makes it too inconvenient for me to get things done.”

“Take Wan Er as an example. You can take the life of your own daughter and threaten your own son-in-law, while I cannot do that. On the contrary, for the sake of Wan Er’s life, I am willing to give my life. After suffering from this night after night for these ten days, I must finally admit this.”

Hearing this, a faint light flared up in the Princess’s slightly drooping eyes.

Fan Xian stared flatly at the smooth surface of the lake and those flower petals that flowed slowly with the waves, and said calmly, “But …… being willing to give one’s life and being coerced are two different concepts. If Wan Er is sick and needs my head to cure her, perhaps I will cut it. But if my death will not do any good for Wan Er’s well-being, why would I do it?”

He turned his head to look at her and said, “I came here today to ask you to understand that it is useless to threaten me …… Of course, we can talk about what good this matter can end up.”

“I care about a lot of people, and I have lives all over me.” Before the eldest princess opened her mouth, Fan Xian blocked the last opening, “But precisely because there are many lifelines, they are no longer lifelines. I can’t just fight back for Wan Er’s sake, in that case, what about my father? What about my father? What about the two brothers, the oldest and the youngest? They are all family members, so naturally they cannot tell the difference, and I think Wan’er will also agree with me on this view and approach.”

The eldest princess couldn’t help but smile and shake her head. Fan Xian’s words had blocked all paths of her threats, and although she could still try, her thoughts had long since drifted elsewhere. Sighing quietly, she said, ”Boss, oldest, and third brother, it seems that you’ve finally admitted who you are. The men of our old Li family, ah, are always this hypocritical and shameless. What good does it do to things for you to say so much? It’s nothing more than forcing me to lash out, and then you can comfort yourself with the fact that the deaths of Wan’er and that idiot had nothing to do with you, and that you were merely compelled to stand by and watch because you were in the way of family and righteousness……. The one who is bereft of conscience is me, and the one who is saddened and grieved afterward, and who is consoled by ten thousand people, is you.”

She looked at Fan Xian’s face and said with a smile, “Don’t you think you’re shameless?” After a pause, she laughed to herself and said, “This is very similar to your father.”

The father she was talking about at this time naturally referred to His Majesty the Emperor.

Fan Xian was silent for a moment before saying, “It is only shameless if you have the intention to do something evil and cover it up, I was forced by you to have no choice, and deep down I don’t want Wan Er to have a single thing wrong with her.”

The negotiations between the two were at a stalemate. Fan Xian could kill the Princess at will at this point, however, Wan Er Dabao, who still had not seen any trace of her up until this point, was only afraid that she was being guarded by Xin Yang experts in a certain corner, and if Fan Xian made a move, he was only afraid that the first one to die would be Wan Er.

Fan Xian’s face was calm, but deep down he began to feel anxious, because facing such a desperate young woman, and he was unable to give her anything she wanted, what should he do next?

The Eldest Princess’s expression became serious, completely opposite to her pretty face and clean makeup at this time, staring blankly at the lake, saying, ”What I said earlier about the shamelessness of the men of our old Li family was actually not wrong. His Majesty didn’t kill me in Guangxin Palace last time in order to give me a chance to, on one hand, comply with his wishes, and on the other hand, he could rightfully kill me without worrying about how to depict this journey in the history books in the future.”

She looked at Fan Xian and said calmly, “He has never truly cherished me as his sister. Since he has given me this opportunity so confidently, I will surely return a great surprise to him.”

In Fan Xian’s opinion, the Emperor’s trip to East Mountain to sacrifice to the heavens was indeed a risk of great wonder and had completely underestimated the means of the Eldest Princess. To be able to invite two great masters from a foreign country and mobilize the rebel army to surround the capital, such a powerful persuasion skill and organization ability, and such a big plan, it was really hard to imagine that it was a weak woman who had to bear it all on one shoulder.

However, Ye Chong’s slash also made Fan Xian realize that the Princess had set up a big game, but His Majesty had set up an even bigger game. The only ones capable of completely destroying the Rapunzel were that elder brother of hers or that old cripple who seemed a bit odd in this matter.

“Ah Anzhi, I want to ask you a question.” The Eldest Princess suddenly spoke up, “In past years, I have tried to repair my relationship with you, but why have you kept your hand back?”

Before Fan Xian could answer, Li Yunrui snatched the lead and said faintly, “Don’t say that it’s because I once tried to kill you, and don’t say that it’s because some of your close friends died at my hands …… You and I both know what kind of person you are. Perhaps you are affectionate towards your own family and friends, but that doesn’t mean you’re really a hot-blooded son.”

Fan Xian was silent, and after a moment said, “The reason is simple, you refuse to back off, and his majesty …… naturally won’t accept me becoming close to you.” In fact, at this time he did not want to talk to the eldest princess about these old stories, but the eldest princess strangled his lifeblood, only here to make false accusations.

In his favor, the eldest princess did not look like she was blankly reviewing the past after her grand plan had failed. Fan Xian’s heart shook as he stared into the Elder Princess’s eyes. Only to see her slightly lower her head and say, ”Don’t misunderstand, I have no desire to join hands with you again. Regardless of whether the Emperor’s brother is dead or alive this time, I don’t have much interest in this human world anymore.”

Fan Xian suddenly realized that her expression was sullen.

“Imperial brother is indeed still the strongest one under the heavens.” Li Yunrui suddenly smiled and said, “I made a big mistake, thinking that he only wanted to borrow the Eastern Mountain Sacrifice to lure out Uncle Liuyun Shi to snipe him, but I didn’t think that he actually had such strong ambitions. It seems that these ten years of low-profile stoicism have made it somewhat difficult for him to endure loneliness as well.”

Fan Xian’s entry into the garden had brought her a succession of bad news, and with the Rapunzel’s genius plotting ability, she naturally guessed the truth on the Great Eastern Mountain in the shortest possible time, guessed the Emperor’s attempts, and understood why it had been five days and she had yet to receive any news from the Eastern Mountain Road.

“Don’t think that the fact that the news from the East Mountain Road has been blocked proves that the Emperor’s brother is still alive.” The Eldest Princess closed her eyes slightly and said quietly, “That old cripple can do the same. The situation on the Great Eastern Mountain is only not what you expected.”

“Since Ye Chong made his move, Patriarch Liu Yun will naturally make his move.” Fan Xian bowed his head and said.

A hint of a look that saw through everything surfaced on the Eldest Princess’s face as she said indifferently, “Although the Four Gu Swords and the Bitter Lotus believe that Ye Liuyun is one of my people, how could those two old monsters …… believe in a Qing national so easily.”

Li Yunrui’s eyes narrowed, but there was no feeling of ghostly cold and severe killing, there was only indifference and indifference, “You and the emperor’s brother both seem to have thought of one thing wrong …… I am, after all, a Qing countryman, and the time of my life has been spent on how to help my imperial brother to unify the world, so how is it possible that I am on the verge of leaving without factoring in the dangers that the Qing Kingdom will face in the future?”

“I have never underestimated my imperial brother, I believe that even in a desperate situation, he still has a wonderful hand that can turn the world upside down, I just didn’t think that his wonderful hand would be Uncle Liu Yun Shi.”

“But …… I never thought of letting Bitter Lotus and Four Gu Swords go back alive from the beginning. The Four Great Patriarchs will meet at East Mountain, and even if Uncle Liuyun Shiyi were to make a move, it would only be a two-on-two situation. What kind of characters were Bitter Lotus and Four Gu Swords? If Emperor Brother wants to shade the two great masters to death over this, it’s a bit too simple to think.”

“I trust Emperor Brother, so I believe that even if he dies, he will drag the two Great Masters to be buried with him, otherwise how can he be worthy of his wisdom and might.” The eldest princess said indifferently, “At that time, it is my Qing country’s Liuyun Shihshi uncle, the northern Qi and eastern barbarians are no one to support …… And what is so different about the evolution of the situation today? Liu Yun Shiyu shot, the four great masters all destroyed …… and my idea is no different.”

“Monsters like the Great Patriarchs shouldn’t have existed in the world in the first place.”

“If there were no Great Patriarchs, with my Daqing’s military and national strength, I would have long ago unified the world, why would I have to wait until today?”

“No matter how things change on the Great Eastern Mountain, it will be beneficial to my Daqing.”

“The four great masters will be on the Great Eastern Mountain, and once all of them are dead, with that kind of momentum, do you think that His Majesty will still be lucky enough to survive?”

Not allowing Fan Xian to open his mouth, the Eldest Princess coldly slammed out one sentence after another, causing Fan Xian’s lips to dry up and he didn’t know how to answer. He hadn’t even imagined that the Eldest Princess hadn’t thought about the patriarchs on Great Eastern Mountain surviving from the very beginning. It was just that she wasn’t an immortal after all and couldn’t calculate all the details. However, the way the situation was developing nowadays didn’t seem to be too far from her expectations.

The only variable, instead, had appeared in Kyoto, in her own departure from Da Dong Mountain alive as well as Ye Chong’s slash.

“If the four old guys died along with the Emperor’s brother, do you think I would care, who actually gets to sit in the dragon chair? Even if you control Kyoto and Cheng Qian’s inability to ascend to the throne makes me a little disappointed, yet …… what are these minor setbacks?” The Eldest Princess glanced at Fan Xian and said mockingly, “These five sons of His Majesty, aside from the oldest three who are still young, the remaining four, even the most incompetent oldest two, will be able to lead Daqing to bring down this world.”

“Use the four great patriarchs to accompany His Majesty.” A proud and frantic sheen appeared on the Eldest Princess’ face, “I’m sure he’ll be satisfied with having such four guards in the netherworld. By sending his son another great world, I will have done right by him.”

“What about you?” Fan Xian hissed. It was only at this time that he truly understood why his father and Chen Pingping had been saying in his own ears that this woman was a madman, a madman …… indeed, tossing out such a big thing, but she didn’t even care about who would be able to survive to the end of the great battle in Kyoto, who would be able to sit in the dragon chair, all of them would be the sons of the Li family, and all of them would be the sons of His Majesty anyway.

“Me?” The Eldest Princess looked at her good son-in-law like a stupid thing, and said quietly, “The earthly bumps on the ground or the dazzling shooting star in the world, which one do you want to be? In life, you only need to shine in your own splendor. People’s words are not enough to be feared, history books do not need to be avoided, like the emperor’s brother who prefers face, after all, I still need to come to help.”

Although he knew that the final break between the Eldest Princess and the Emperor was facilitated by himself, Fan Xian still couldn’t help but ask in a hoarse voice, “…… But why did you do it?”

The question was asked in a very subtle manner, but the eldest princess heard it clearly, and after glancing at the tranquil and ancient scenery of this Taiping Buyeon, she slowly said, “Because he’s negative to me. Because I want to prove to everyone that a woman, too, can rewrite the history that this stinking men have dominated for many years.”

She slowly stood up, and the flower petals slid down her body, looking very beautiful.

Fan Xian listened to these words in a daze, especially the last sentence, which he had once heard in the Guangxin Palace, which seemed very harsh and alarming.

With a covetous gaze, Li Yunrui glanced at the scenery of the Taiping Farewell Courtyard and said in a low voice of reluctance, ”When I was a child, I loved this courtyard, but my elder brother always refused to allow me to come, and then when I asked my father for it, I was scolded by my elder brother. What an overbearing mistress this courtyard was at that time.”

She smiled faintly, spinning her body, driving the neighboring flower tree to tremble slightly as a dozen more petals fell. She looked at Fan Xian and said softly and delicately, “Do you think I’ve finally bested your mother now?”

At this moment, Fan Xian had long since fallen into an inexplicable mood, and when he suddenly heard this, he simply didn’t know how to answer, and could only laugh bitterly.

The eldest princess stepped on her bare feet and slowly danced on the green lawn, carrying a gentle and relaxed mood.

Watching this scene, for some reason, Fan Xian’s heart felt incomparably angry. Yes, you stand taller than everyone and see farther than everyone. Regardless of whether it was His Majesty the Emperor or Li Yunrui, their eyes were not on Kyoto from the very beginning, but rather stared at the Great Eastern Mountains, at those four great masters who were not supposed to exist in the human world, but ……

How many people died? How many families in Kyoto have been broken up in tragedies? How many generals and soldiers of the Kingdom of Qing have lost their heads and their lives just because of your little thought of leaving a name in history? How many people are crying in pain, how many people are grieving?

“You’re not as good as her.” Fan Xian suddenly spoke.

The Rapunzel’s bare feet suddenly stopped on the lawn, and she twisted her head, looking at Fan Xian with a cold gaze, as if she was waiting for him to give an explanation.

Fan Xian raised an eyebrow, still sitting on the ground, and said with a slight sneer, “My mother descended into this world and at least managed to make the people of Qing laugh, while you, on the other hand, can only make the world cry.”

Li Yunrui smiled faintly, his face showing mockery, not moved at all.

However, Fan Xian’s next words made her angry. Because Fan Xian shook his head and said in a very matter of fact tone, “I’ve seen my mother’s portrait, and I must say …… that she looks prettier than you.”

Fan Xian laughed, “Everyone loves Ye Light Eyebrows, don’t they?”

He stood up and patted the grass clippings under his butt, not even bothering to look at Li Yunrui’s expression. Since it was clear that Her Highness the Eldest Princess had a death wish at the beginning of the plot, seeking only the last luster of the human world before going to the netherworld to pursue that love brother of hers, Fan Xian was tired and only wanted to irritate the other party, plot a change, and find a way to save Wan’er Dabao.

Of course, there was also a heavenly mystery surrounding his heart.

Can the emperor …… actually survive the heaven and earth agitation of the patriarchal battle ……?
