Chapter 162 Returning to Beijing
The excitement in the capital city started when the second prince returned to Beijing, and ended when Fan Xian returned to the capital city with everyone from the Overwatch Council.

The Ministry of Rituals was busy for almost ten days before taking the two great-grandfathers back to the city of Kyoto.

The second prince who came back under the attention of everyone came back with a military general. He made a great contribution to the suppression of the war in the Western Frontier Pass, and he handled the entire Western Frontier Pass very well.sudden
The affairs of the Jue tribe and the Tubo tribe were directly quelled.

He even defeated the reinforcements of the Northern Qi Dynasty and drove back the entire Uesugi Tiger's army into Fenghua Valley.

In the end, Vice President Fan Xian was rescued from the hands of Northern Qi, and he smashed the Xihu barracks, killed a thousand Xihu soldiers, and burned the Xihu camp.

This is a very popular approach, so when the second prince entered the capital city, he won the love he never thought of.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, after the second prince entered the capital city, he rode his horse and whipped his whip all the way into the imperial city.

But here Fan Xian only came to greet him with some gentlemen, and then there were some vendors who set up stalls.

Fan Xian understood this point, he just happened to be able to return to his home quietly, which was considered a human thing done by the second prince.

Fan Xian is not a person who likes to be watched by the public and exposed to the spotlight, so when he calmly entered the capital city, he was also happy to see the scene in front of him.

A few days later, the second prince had already been granted a reward, so when Fan Xian appeared at the gate of the imperial city, the faces of the ministers already showed a lot of tiredness, but when Fan Xian walked in, their faces There were some smiles on the screen, and they greeted Fan Xian who came in attentively, with a smile on his face to say hello.

After Fan Xian answered the greetings one by one, he turned to pay his respects to His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Kingdom first. After all, he was an envoy of the Qing Kingdom, so he must respect the Emperor.

After he walked quickly into the Imperial Study Room, he respectfully saluted His Majesty the Emperor and said, "My subject, Fan Xian, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor."

"Stay flat." The emperor looked at Fan Xian and heaved a sigh of relief, "Your arms and legs are here."

Fan Xian was taken aback. He never thought that Emperor Qing would be so happy to talk to him. He was stunned and said randomly, "Thanks to His Majesty's blessings, how dare you die while wearing general armor."

"Oh?" Emperor Qing straightened up, looked at Fan Xian in front of him, and smiled slightly, "No complaints?"

As soon as Fan Xian looked up, he knew what Emperor Qing was asking. He let out a sigh of relief, "Of course there are no complaints. After all, it was His Majesty's arrangement. Such an arrangement is very reasonable."

"Tell me." Emperor Qing asked, "Where is the reason?"

"I have received more favors than anyone else, so how could it be during the period of my mission to Northern Qi?" Fan Xian said, "I know the word contentment very well, so it is only natural that I don't have any rewards. , if you give too much, I am afraid that some people will not be convinced."

"Contentment." Emperor Qing looked at Fan Xian calmly, his face suddenly trembled a few times, and he smiled slightly, "Fan Xian, Fan Xian."

"My servant is here," Fan Xian said.

"This time, you did a good job." Emperor Qing said.

Fan Xian immediately knelt down and said to His Majesty, "Thanks to His Majesty's great love this time, I am very grateful for the many assistances. Without His Majesty's holy family, I would have died in a foreign land."''

The emperor didn't answer Fan Xian's words, but stood up on his own, and walked slowly in front of Fan Xian, "Get flat."

Fan Xian immediately stood up, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Why did you kneel this time?" asked the emperor.

Fan Xian smiled softly, "Of course I want to ask for something."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Are you still so outspoken? Let's hear it."

.........

The Fan Mansion has been intensively preparing for the whole morning. When Fan Xian entered the Fan Mansion, everyone greeted him at the door, not only Fan Ruoruo, Lin Wan'er and others, but everyone else stood in line. When Fan Xian entered the door, everyone greeted him.

The messy group of people chattered with Fan Xian. Fan Xian didn't see his father, Fan Jian, but with his character, it was right not to come out. Fan Xian didn't take it to heart. Today's Liu Ruyu didn't come out either.

In the end, Fan Xian stumbled, walked across thousands of rivers and mountains, and returned to his wing. After arranging the people of the Overwatch Council, he was able to breathe a sigh of relief. Fan Xian, who had put down all his work, lay softly in Lin Waner's arms. middle.

"It can be seen this time that you are tired." Lin Wan'er caressed Fan Xian's face, that kind of longing accompanied by Fan Xian's appearance, finally became a palpable substance.At this moment, Lin Wan'er seemed to be free from lovesickness and pain. In front of Fan Xian, her tenderness was unmatched by thousands of lights.

Fan Xian knew how much this woman had burdened, and how many nights without anyone to accompany him, such nights should not be borne by Wan'er alone. He also knew what role Lin Wan'er played in his life. an important role.

But there are many difficulties, Fan Xian can't take her there, if Lin Wan'er appeared in any place he passed by before, then he may have completely lost this gentle woman by now, now Lin Wan'er is in his arms In front of him, he couldn't let go and didn't want to let go, he said softly to Lin Wan'er, "Wan'er, I'm coming back this time, and I won't leave again."

Lin Wan'er just nodded, she didn't say much, her tears flowed down her cheeks quietly, she said, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

"Wan'er, how are you doing lately? Why didn't I see my aunt and father today?" Fan Xian asked.

"It's not you, you just brought grandma back, now my lord father and mother are already paying their respects to the old lady, let's pack up and go, otherwise let father and mother wait for too long, if you say you don't respect the elders It is." Lin Wan'er said with a smile.

"Wan'er, you are the best." Fan Xian smiled and stroked Lin Wan'er's face.

"Ling'er... went to Xihu?" Suddenly, Lin Wan'er asked.

Fan Xian was startled, turned his head and looked at Lin Wan'er. He didn't need to hide anything from Lin Wan'er about this matter, so he said, "Yes."

Lin Wan'er nodded, said nothing more, walked out of the room holding Fan Xian's arm.

In fact, when Fan Xian entered Fan Jian's study, several major events had already occurred in the capital city.

The first major event revolves around all officials.

After Fan Xian returned to the capital city, the emperor directly drafted an imperial decree. The content of the imperial decree was extremely simple. There was only one sentence, which was to let the Ye family, the current Kyoto garrison army, rest from the duties of the Kyoto garrison army, and have the eldest prince Served as the garrison general of Kyoto, thus directly dispatching the Ye family's soldiers to the land of West Hammer.

There are a lot of garrison troops in Kyoto, about 3 people, scattered all over the city of Kyoto, so all the defense and guard tasks of the city of Kyoto will be replaced, and the time is very fast.

People are guessing why this happened?
After all, it is well known that the Ye family took refuge in the second prince. No one thought that a few days after the second prince was rewarded, it would be equivalent to cutting off one of the second prince's arms. This time the second prince didn't know why The strength has been weakened, and it is beyond words.

This one thing surprised people a little.

But when the more surprising thing appeared, people almost forgot the first thing directly.

Fan Xian's mother is Ye Qingmei.

I don't know where this news came from, but when this news entered the capital city, the whole capital city began to boil.

They didn't know the source of this news, but no one doubted the authenticity of this matter. After word of mouth, even if it wasn't true, it became true.

When the relationship between Fan Xian and Ye Qingmei was made public, the place that was shaken first was not the other places, but the harem. The entire harem was in a terrible depression.Because the source of this depression is not someone else, but the current master of the harem, the Queen Mother.

Hong Sixiang bowed her head and stood behind the Empress Dowager, while the Empress Dowager was lying flat on the seat. She asked softly, "Is it true?"

"No one has a definite conclusion. Rumors spread everywhere, and the palace did not give a definite answer." Hong Sixiang replied.

The queen mother nodded, "Let the people below be quieter, and keep their mouths tighter, so that the Aijia don't hear anything they shouldn't say."

"Yes, Empress Dowager." Hong Sixiang answered with his head down.

The Empress Dowager's point of view has also changed a lot. Since that incident, as the emperor's mother, she can certainly feel how disgusted the Emperor is towards this matter. The current Empress Dowager is too old to interfere with the Emperor. It's His Majesty's business, and she thinks that it should be done according to His Majesty's wishes. After all, the witch who brought disaster to the country and the people is already dead. Even Fan Xian can't be brought into the harem, right?
So after much deliberation, the queen mother did not make any orders, but her words pressed the harem, and she was almost out of breath.

How many people were waiting for this opportunity to rub Fan Xian on the ground, but after these words were released, no one dared to speak more.Everyone is quietly in their own courtyard. No one dares to come out for activities these days. There are fewer concubines and concubines playing cards on weekdays, let alone those tossing maids. dare not say.

At this time, Concubine Shu Gui was the most angry. She sat on the bed in the room and looked at her son, the second prince, in front of her in despair.

The second prince stood in the hall without speaking, as if some quarrel had just occurred between the two.

Concubine Shu said, "I don't care about your political affairs, and I don't care how big your situation is. I just want to ask, why these two things can appear at the same time? Have you ever thought about why?"

He stood there calmly, without a trace of emotion on his face, and did not answer.

"If you don't do anything now, Fan Xian will take revenge!" said Concubine Shu.

"Does mother think that Fan Xian doesn't know his own background?" asked the second prince.

"He definitely doesn't know!" Concubine Shu said firmly, "If he knew, he wouldn't be so eager to marry Lin Wan'er. Now that they have been married for a year, it may be difficult for Fan Xian and Wan'er."

"Wan'er's biological mother is..." Concubine Shu sighed, "This is evil fate."

This Concubine Shu didn't know about Fan Xian's new era thinking. In fact, Fan Xian had separated Lin Wan'er and Li Yunrui long ago. Lin Wan'er was just Fan Xian's wife, and Li Yunrui was the eldest princess of the Qing Dynasty. The two had nothing to do with each other.

The second prince sighed after knowing what he said, "I didn't expect that..."

"What didn't you expect?" Concubine Shu said, "I don't interfere with your affairs, but I hope that next time you have any interaction with Fan Xian, what you have to do is very simple, just kill him! It doesn't matter if you are in confinement, even if there are any consequences, Her Royal Highness will definitely rehabilitate you for you, and will not make you pay any price."

"Besides, both the Empress Dowager and the Empress hate this person deeply. If Fan Xian can go out, it will relieve everyone's vigilance. Do you understand?" Concubine Shu asked.

The second prince nodded helplessly.

But at this moment, he still couldn't calm down in his heart. He had just returned from His Majesty's place, and his thoughts were extremely messy.

Thinking about it, things were not easy to pass. When Ning Cairen walked back to his bedroom from outside the house, the maid next to him said with a nervous expression, "Cai Ren is good."

"What's going on today?" Ning Cairen goes out to practice swords in the back garden every day. She practiced for a long time today, so she doesn't know what happened today, so she usually asks Ning Cai, the maid of honor. People, I asked about it as usual today.

"His Royal Highness the First Prince has arrived...you...you should ask him." The maid lowered her head and said timidly.

Ning Cairen glanced at the maid in confusion, and did not force her to ask. After all, there are not a few people in the backyard of the deep palace who were executed for just one word. It is just that Ning Cairen does not know what happened at this time, which is a bit strange. That's all, she walked in slowly, and at this time the First Prince was already sitting inside.

After seeing Ning Cairen, the eldest prince stood up straight away, and he respectfully saluted his mother, saying, "I pay my respects to my lord mother."

"En." Ning Cairen has a vigorous and resolute style. As a martial idiot, she can spare time to talk to her son about political affairs in this spare time, which is considered to be enough for her son in front of her. He walked to the place where he usually sat, and the place in the lobby was undoubtedly reserved for the most powerful man in Qing Kingdom. Even if that man didn't come, Ning Cairen seldom sat there.

Sitting on the chair, Ning Cairen just drank a cup of tea and asked, "What? Did His Majesty scold you again? Or something went wrong? I've already said that as a prince, you must be more generous. Don't care about these small things, although your Majesty's thoughts are important, but as Dongyi people, it is impossible for us to inherit the throne. I have been teaching you this since childhood, so you must do your best to your father and emperor First, filial piety second, do not take the road of power, it is extremely dangerous."

"But..." The eldest prince's face trembled, he looked at his mother, and said awkwardly, "Father ordered me to take over as the garrison of the capital..."

"What?" Ning Cai was startled, she looked at the eldest prince in front of her, frowned and thought for a moment.

"And..." the eldest prince continued, "There are two important things that I have to tell my lord."

"Tell me." Ning Cairen didn't realize that her son had suddenly changed from an idle prince to a general of the Kyoto garrison. Her eyes were still hesitating, but obviously, the second major event completely stunned Ning Cairen. up.

Fan Xian is the son of Ye Qingmei.

This shock was not at 01:30. When Ning Cairen looked at the First Prince, the First Prince was already ready to talk about the third major event, because in his opinion, both Fan Xian and Ye Qingmei were far away from him. For those who are far away, Fan Xian is alright, and we have met each other a few times, but Ye Qingmei...is a person who lives in the story at all, and now I tell you that he doesn't know what it has to do with him.

"This..." Ning Cairen interrupted the eldest prince's thoughts of continuing, after all, her face was unusually rich at this time.

"My lord, why are you so shocked? Who is this Ye Qingmei..." The eldest prince was full of doubts.

"Baby." Ning Cairen shook his head, "Do you know how my mother returned to the capital city and became a talented person?" Ning Cairen thought for a while and added, "No, it should be said that way, Do you know how Wei Niang survived?"

"This mother has said it many times, it is in Xihu and Beiqi..." The first prince was about to say, and frowned, as if he understood that Ye Qingmei might not have anything to do with that matter, but it was behind That incident was that when he was five or six years old, the harem was purged once. That time might not matter to others, but to Ning Cairen, he almost died.

"Do you remember?" Ning Cairen said, "The harem incident was initiated by the empress dowager, and it is inconvenient for my mother to explain the details to you, but you have to remember the things that have something to do with us. As a mother, she will be removed from the title of talented person and demoted to a commoner's daughter, and no one will help her as a mother at that time."

"It's Ye Qingmei." Ning Cairen said, "She saved our lives, do you know?"

The eldest prince looked at Ning Cairen suddenly enlightened, "I understand what the mother means."

"Without Ye Qingmei, you and I are already in the grave. Now you should understand the meaning of His Majesty's decree." Ning Cairen sighed.

Only then did the First Prince suddenly realize.He chuckled and said, "Mother, mother, you know a lot about father's deep meaning. After all, Fan Xian is not someone in the pool. The fall of the Ye family, the garrison in the capital, has weakened the strength of the second younger brother, and directly General Erchen took over as the general of the Jingdu garrison, and at the same time released Fan Xian as Ye Qingmei's son, this way, I will definitely help Fan Xian, and secondly, Fan Xian will take over as the internal treasury early next year, which is justified."

"It's good that you understand." Ning Cairen said, "The people in the harem can't hold on to this news. If someone's string is broken, no matter what, son, I only give you one request, other things ,I do not care."

"Mother, please tell me." The eldest prince seemed to understand what Ning Cairen wanted to say, but such words could only be said from his own mother's mouth, and he dared not say them.

"No matter what happens, Fan Xian cannot die before you." Ning Cairen said, "You and I, mother and son, have lived for more than ten years in vain, and you must not treat Fan Xian badly, understand?"

The eldest prince smiled righteously and said, "Mother, I understand!"

His brows and eyes are full of heroism, and that kind of loyal and courageous smile is familiar to Ning Cai. She knows her son better than anyone else, so she also understands better than anyone else that her son is saying Truth or lie, she asked, "The third thing, what is it?"

"Oh..." The First Prince let out a sigh of relief, "His Majesty the Emperor is going to the temple to offer sacrifices."

"What about the time?" This is of course a big deal, so Ning Cai asked casually, "The time is set on the twelfth of next month, and now all departments have started preparations, and the baby is also on the list of preparations."

"Then go quickly, don't delay things." Ning Cairen suddenly asked, "Why did you let the wind out so early this time?"

The First Prince shook his head.

At this moment, Ning Cai said, "Go see Fan Xian once!"

"Ah?" The eldest prince was startled, but then he nodded.

The mother who has lived in the deep palace for a long time should have expected more
