Episode 10: Emperor Qing rescues Fan Xian in an emergency

Eunuch Hou Xuanmei went to the palace to pay homage. All the people who were trying the case left, so the matter was naturally settled. After the case was over, when Prince Li Chengqian was about to leave, Fan Xian suddenly stepped forward and asked Li Chengqian in public whether he knew about his assassination in Danzhou. Li Chengqian snorted coldly and did not answer. The second prince did not expect that he would dare to question him directly. Prince. Fan Xian watched the two princes leave one after another. Seeing that the matter was over, he helped Si Lixiang and wanted to take her back to the palace, but Si Lili refused and said he would see her again in Zuixianju in the future. No matter how depressed Guo Baokun is, thankfully, from today on, Teng Zijing can finally appear in front of everyone openly.

Ye Ling'er was asked by Lin Wan'er to investigate the news about Guo Baokun, a book boy, but unexpectedly learned that Guo Baokun was beaten by Fan Xian, and there was no book boy around him. More importantly, Fan Xian actually stayed in Zuixianju for another night. She was really angry and resentful towards Fan Xian. Fan Xian asked Fan Si to report back to the house, and when he went to Teng Zijing's house, he saw a child on the swing happily eating candied haws. He came yesterday at night and didn't know the way very well, so he went up to the child to ask, and unexpectedly discovered that the candied haws the child ate was poisonous. When he snatched it and took a bite, he found that it was only a mild laxative. The child didn't expect that the candied haws was robbed, and was crying and fussing. Fan Xian couldn't explain it to him, so he had to pay him for it.

After finding Teng Zijing's residence, Fan Xian advised him to cherish the present, spend more time with his wife and children, and leave Kyoto, a place of right and wrong. Teng Zijing was a little moved, but for some reason he didn't agree immediately. He introduced Fan Xian to his wife and children. Unexpectedly, the children shouted dissatisfied when they saw Fan Xian. It was this weird uncle who snatched his candied haws. Fan Xian saw Teng Zi Mr. and Mrs. Jing looked at each other in surprise and could only smile awkwardly.

Mei Zhili followed his father-in-law into the palace to meet Emperor Qing. At first, he was worried, but Emperor Qing was very gentle. He sent someone to give him honey water and mentioned some events from the past. When the two met for the first time, Emperor Qing You was Qianlong, and Mei's role in charge of ceremonies was just a false position. Emperor Qing insisted on promoting him to a more important position, which can be regarded as a good story between the emperor and his ministers.

Just as Mei Zhili was about to relax, Emperor Qing suddenly changed his face. Someone submitted a complaint, and it was Mei Zhili's accusation that Fan Xian was tried. Emperor Qing also understood that it was difficult for him to deal with in front of the prince, but what he really couldn't tolerate was that he secretly sent the governor to help the East Palace capture Teng Zijing. As an emperor, the most intolerable thing is for his subordinates to have two main interests and be disloyal once. Seeing that the matter had been exposed, Mei Zhili immediately knelt down tremblingly and asked Emperor Qing to use national laws to punish the crime. Emperor Qing said that if he used national laws to punish him, an old minister, wouldn't it mean that he was unkind and unjust? But he could retreat, so he could only say that he would slip and fall into a well when he returned home, and begged your majesty to forgive his wife and children.

Seeing that Mei Zhili was about to despair, Emperor Qing smiled. He comforted Mei Zhili, considering that he was an old minister, he would let him retire and return to his hometown, so that he could live a safe life. Mei Zhili escaped from death, and he could not help but burst into tears in gratitude for your kindness. . The mystery of the emperor's mind was vividly reflected at this moment. What Mei Zhili didn't know was that shortly after he left, Emperor Qing asked Eunuch Hou to have the inspection agency keep an eye on him, and sent people to rob him on his way back home. kill.

Fan Jian didn't understand why Fan Xian wanted to question the prince in public and why he wanted to cause uproar in the city. Fan Xian did not lie, and directly said that his purpose was to break off the engagement. On the other side, Teng Zijing thought about how Fan Xian had taken care of him these days. Seeing that he was leaving tomorrow, there was no joy in his heart. Teng Zijing's wife understood him and took the initiative to ask Teng Zijing to meet Fan Xian. No matter what decision he made, she and her son would support him.

Ye Ling'er told Lin Wan'er that Guo Baokun had never had a book boy by his side. He also told Fan Xian about beating Guo Baokun and staying overnight at Zuixianju, and vowed to help her push forward the marriage. The eldest princess learned that Lin Waner had gone to Fan Xian to cancel the engagement, so she sent someone to reassure Lin Waner, saying that she would definitely help her cancel the engagement, and also said that she would definitely marry someone she likes. Lin Wan'er was so happy that she accidentally revealed the story of the book boy. When the eldest princess found out, she immediately asked someone to investigate the matter.

Teng Zijing came to see Fan Xian in the middle of the night, and deliberately used Fan Xian's robbery of his son's candied haws during the day to show that Fan Xian was so stupid, so he was worried and decided to stay as his guard, and also made some unreasonable demands. Fan Xian knew that what happened during the day would definitely offend the prince, but he did not expect that Teng Zijing would actually ignore his wife and children for him, which made his heart feel warm.

The Queen Mother learned about Fan Xian's affairs and sent a message to Emperor Qing, asking him to reconsider the marriage between Lin Wan'er and Fan Xian. After all, it was a royal marriage. Eunuch Hou saw that although the second prince went to court today, he probably did it deliberately, just to make the prince think that Fan Xian had taken refuge with him, so that he could make mistakes in the chaos and let him reap the benefits. Emperor Qing sighed that his two sons were not economical, so he simply let them continue to make trouble. He wanted to see the outcome.

The eldest princess sent someone to tell Li Chengqian early in the morning that yesterday, Mei Zhili resigned and returned to his hometown but was killed on the way. She also speculated that this was an arrangement by Emperor Qing. He also said that now that Fan Xian has joined the second prince's sect, he will definitely become a serious problem for the prince in time. Although Li Chengqian was heartbroken, he could see that Fan Xian might not have really taken refuge with the second prince. More importantly, his father might have transferred Fan Xian here as bait. If he attacked him again, he would have to kill him with one blow, and he would not be able to use officialdom as an excuse. Help, this matter needs to be considered in the long term.

Early in the morning, Fan Jian went to Fan Xian to tell him that the marriage had not changed. Fan Xian didn't understand why His Majesty would marry his niece to him when his reputation was like this. In a fit of anger, he called Ruoruo and Fan Si to withdraw, and rushed directly to Prince Jing's Mansion, intending to get married directly if he found someone, so as to completely put an end to Emperor Qing's thoughts. Prince Jing did not expect that Fan Xian came to visit mainly to see his female family members, or all the female family members. Although he was dumbfounded, it fulfilled him. However, Fan Xian looked through all the maids in Prince Jing's residence, but still could not find him. Chicken Leg Girl.
