Fan Xian was assassinated when he returned to Beijing

Answer 1

In the novel, Fan Xian was assassinated when he returned to the capital. There were three masterminds, the Second Prince, the Eldest Princess, and Lin Gong. The Second Prince assassinated Fan Xian because he did not want him to manage the palace treasury. The Eldest Princess did not want Fan Xian to manage the palace treasury, nor did she want him to marry Lin Wan 'er. Lin Gong was the murderer ordered by the Eldest Princess to plot the assassination on Niulan Street. In addition, the old master of the Qin family, Qin Ye, also participated in the plan to assassinate Fan Xian. He was afraid that Fan Xian's power would reach the heavens. For the continuation of the Qin family, Fan Xian had to die. On his way back to the capital, Fan Xian was attacked by military crossbows. This attack was ordered by the Qing military's big shot, the Qin family. The Qin family was also one of the forces that had killed Fan Xian's mother, Ye Qingmei. Chen Pingping had given the Qin family a chance to assassinate Fan Xian. This was also the second time she wanted to cut ties with Fan Xian. Fan Xian was assassinated on his way back to the capital, but in the end, the Great Prince led the Imperial Army to prevent further conflict. Only then did Fan Xian leave. However, the specifics of who ambushed Fan Xian were not mentioned.
