Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 172 Father and Son Recognize
His Majesty the Emperor is sitting in the backyard of the imperial study looking at the lake. The koi in the lake are still churning. The water in this lake was designed by Ye Qingmei back then. It is warm all year round and will not freeze.

The emperor didn't know what was going on, and of course he didn't have the heart to open up the whole lake to see if there were a few eunuchs stealing fish and grilling them.

This man with the greatest power in the world today has eyes like the ocean, calm but magnificent. He looked at everything in front of him, but he had already heard footsteps behind him. When he slowly turned his head, what appeared was a humble eunuch The manager, Eunuch Hou, and the boy in white beside him, Fan Xian.

After recovering from a serious illness, Fan Xian rested in the harem for a few days. Under the care of various noble concubines and concubines, he completely recovered his strength. Today he reported to His Majesty the emperor that he wanted to release Palace to go home for instructions.

In order to ensure that the boy had truly recovered, the emperor directly summoned him to the palace. He had to meet Fan Xian in person to be at ease.Fan Xian also thought of this, so he followed Eunuch Hou directly into the hall.

At this time, Fan Xian also looked at His Majesty respectfully, leaning forward slightly, "My subject, Fan Xian, has seen Your Majesty."

"Yeah." The emperor breathed out his nose, indicating that he knew, stood up randomly, and said to the lake in front of him, "Come, come to me."

Fan Xian walked over without any disturbance in his heart, and stood beside the emperor. He also saw the full pool of water and the reckless koi inside. He didn't speak or move.

The emperor was wearing a red-gold fur robe, and looked unusually warm. He turned his head to look at Fan Xian, his smile became a little paler, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, as if swallowing a sentence, but also as if he wanted to say something. One sentence, but the last thing that came out of his mouth was, "It's cold, put on more clothes."

"Your servant understands." Fan Xian said.

The emperor looked at Fan Xian with a gentle smile, but Fan Xian didn't feel that way, at least the person in front of him was not his father in a certain sense, but just his immediate boss.

"At that time, in the ancestral hall." The emperor threw out such a sentence, and then began to pace around the lake in front of him. Fan Xian immediately followed behind. The same fur robe also had golden edges and a red base, and on it was the eye-catching dragon that symbolized the Ninth Five-Year Lord, but this time Fan Xian put it on without even thinking about it.

This action was noticed by the emperor, he didn't say anything but continued, "You are not far from me, but why, the third child you rescued first?"

Fan Xian knew that the laws and regulations of the Qing Kingdom were cumbersome. There was an inscription in it stating that the crown prince was not among brothers. That is to say, the third son His Majesty was talking about at this time was not the third crown prince, but the third son. His Royal Highness.

Fan Xian smiled thoughtfully, "I just think that the killer at that time was the closest to His Royal Highness the Third Prince. If he was in a hurry and lost his chance, he might just take the Third Prince away, or even kill him." Maybe one life for another, beheading the third prince, even if it damages my Daqing's prestige, it will also hurt my vitality."

"But if he put all his eggs in one basket at the first moment, I might just go west." The emperor raised his head and said.

Fan Xian immediately lowered his head, "Damn my servant, the situation that day was in dire jeopardy, there was no way to think about it and weigh the pros and cons, it could only be an act of nature, the third prince is still young, and he doesn't have any ability to resist assassins, so The subject made such a choice for a while..."

"Hahahaha..." The emperor didn't get angry, but laughed directly. He said, "If it weren't for that, I thought this assassination had something to do with you."

Fan Xian was taken aback.

"Why don't you report the two secret passages in the temple?" His Majesty's words became fierce.

Fan Xian didn't speak at this time, because he knew that since the emperor knew that he had mastered the structure diagram of the temple, of course he also knew why he didn't report it. This matter involved the Ministry of Industry and His Royal Highness, and he was not alone. As a minister, he could discuss things arbitrarily, so he chose to remain silent.

The emperor looked back at Fan Xian who was following him with his head down, and smiled coldly, "Don't worry, although he is in a hurry, he is not that anxious. This matter has nothing to do with the prince."

"Your servant understands." Fan Xian understood that the emperor was worried that he would continue to investigate this matter, so he dispelled his doubts, but Fan Xian did not want to continue talking about this matter. After all, to put it bluntly, Minister of the Ministry of Industry How to play with His Royal Highness is a matter between the two of them. Firstly, the interests of the internal treasury are not affected, and secondly, they are not aimed at you, Fan Xian. Fan Xian doesn't want to take care of such trivial matters.

This is why Fan Xian, who had met the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, walked out directly and kept silent about other matters.

"It's you." The emperor said leisurely, "The sword really pierced your body, what do you want to say?"

Fan Xian frowned. Does this mean that anyone who has something to do with the sword wants to turn to the east?What do you mean?Fan Xian didn't figure out this sentence clearly, and he didn't reply at the first time. This made His Majesty the emperor talking there alone, and it was outrageous, so Fan Xian replied directly, "I don't know."

"The memorial sent by Dongyi City at the first moment of the assassination, the words were fierce, the assassins were scolded so much, and even some low-level words were written in the memorial. There is no way to start, this old thing from Dongyi City is a bit interesting." The emperor smiled.

Only then did Fan Xian understand that the emperor's feelings were here to clear his mind.

"Since it wasn't made by Dongyi City, how can anyone have such strength? Moreover, when the subordinates chased them out, they didn't find that the opponent's strength had reached the ninth rank, and they were on the same level as the subordinates." , the other party came in a surprise attack, obviously knowing the strength of the subordinates, it seems that they came prepared." Fan Xian concluded.

But when it came to this point, the emperor seemed to lose interest in this topic again. He tilted his head and looked into the distance, and suddenly said something unbelievable.

"Winter is here, and the new year is coming. This year's year is different from usual. My family is reunited. This world should be peaceful." The emperor's face showed a hint of relief.

On the other hand, Fan Xian's face was full of doubts, and he could only say quickly, "I'm afraid, I don't know what Your Majesty said..."

"You are my son."

Fan Xian was taken aback.

When Emperor Qing uttered a piece of news that could almost shake the entire country of Qing, he never expected that Fan Xian's expression would be more natural than his.His Majesty the Emperor felt a little uncomfortable. He looked at Fan Xian, although his tone was flat, but his brows were full of arrogance.

"Aren't you going to ask?" Emperor Qing asked.

"Nothing changed." Fan Xian smiled.

Emperor Qing looked at Fan Xian puzzled, but then he smiled and said, "As expected of my son."

"I thought that there would be some changes when I heard it from my own mouth, but at this time, it seems that there is no change. I am still that minister, and Your Majesty is still that monarch." Fan Xian smiled bitterly, "Just pity me Dad, I don't know what to do, if I were him, I would probably have to drink for several months."

Of course His Majesty knew who the father Fan Xian was talking about, he smiled frankly and looked at Fan Xian.

Fan Xian knew that when a person with great power knew that he had owed others, he would never apologize, let alone His Majesty the Emperor, who simply didn't think about what he could say, but thinking about it carefully, this During a period of time, the emperor's guilt towards himself became more and more intense.

His Majesty's face was serious, he looked at Fan Xian, and said calmly, "Your birth is your mother, but your mother can't..."

"I understand." Fan Xian said, he was thinking about the reason for Ye Qingmei's death all the time, so he hoped that the news that he was Ye Qingmei's son would be spread, so that those who were hiding in that matter The person behind it, he can know who it is, who wants to kill him so much.

"You don't understand." The emperor looked at Fan Xian, and said to his child who had reunited after a long absence, "This matter has been hidden for too long, if you want to bring up the story again, that's fine, but if you want to bring it up Don't say that the harem won't forgive you, even I will not forgive you."

Fan Xian lowered his head and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." His voice was not decisive, as if he did not want to investigate as His Majesty said, but only he knew the truth in his heart. Not only did he want to investigate, but he also wanted to find out the truth and find out everything.

"I owe you something, and none of them know your identity." The emperor said slowly, "You just need to know this matter well, and you don't need to worry about others. I will give you a great deal." Limited power, assisting you to be the most powerful official above the court of Qing Dynasty, holding the power of the world is nothing, do you understand?"

Fan Xian actually wanted to refute, but in the end rationality prevailed over his sensibility, Fan Xian immediately surrendered, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

His Majesty the Emperor smiled knowingly, "Come, play chess with me."

…………

Right now, outside the Overwatch Council, the king of the dark place, the demon that everyone fears in the Qing Kingdom, is sitting in a wheelchair and wiping a stone tablet with a rag. Maybe the Overwatch Council has long forgotten about it. There is a stone tablet here, but this man still remembers it.

Chen Pingping gently stroked the stone tablet that had been wiped clean of dust by him, smiled slightly, as if looking at her beloved, and said softly, "Are you okay."

The wind swept across the grassland, and there was a huge and wide land boundary behind it. Originally, the Overwatch Council had to be built on the land boundary here, but in the end Chen Pingping still didn't build it. In front of the eyes of this stone tablet, it became a vast grassland.Chen Pingping wanted her to see farther, the farther the better.

"It's been more than 20 years since you left." Chen Pingping's smile had never been so comfortable. He lay on the wheelchair and covered himself with a sheet before continuing to say to the stele, "Unfortunately, the Overwatch Council It didn't go in the direction you liked, and it got darker and darker."

The lines on the stele are still clearly visible, as if they were engraved in Chen Pingping's heart one after another, but the engravings are not words, but a portrait, a portrait of a woman.

"Your Majesty will tell Fan Xian his identity. This may be a sign of what His Majesty is going to do. Your Majesty is no longer the same as when you were here. I am one step closer to the truth, but this step is extremely dangerous. " Chen Pingping said, "If anything happens to me in the future, your good son will definitely say a few words for me."

"This old minister has been serving for a long time, so it really doesn't mean much, hahaha... You were so happy and light back then, but you lived a very good life." Chen Pingping shook her head, "But Fan Jian was good to Fan Xian, so you can do it too." Rest in peace, it may not be long before I go to see you, see if you are still afraid of getting fat, see if you are still afraid of eating fish."

"According to the news, Ye Liuyun is coming back too. This time Fan Xian escaped from death, the four great masters may not be able to sit still. If my guess is correct, then the ending is already doomed." Chen Pingping sighed. With a voice, "It seems that the moment you appeared, our fate was already doomed, whether it was you, me, or Your Majesty, or that kid."

The wind picked up, and the shadow came out from behind Chen Pingping, and gently fell on Chen Pingping's wheelchair. Chen Pingping asked in a low voice, "Are your hands hurt?"

Shadow didn't answer, and pushed Chen Pingping towards the gloomy high wall of the Overwatch Council.
