Episode 20: Chen Pingping finds out the "real culprit" who killed Lin Gong

Lin Ruofu burned the words written by Lin Gong in front of Fan Xian, indicating that he would let go of the past in the future and concentrate on supporting Fan Xian. He also told him to be careful of the East Palace because Fan Xian wanted to take away the inner treasury from the eldest princess. Since he had a close relationship with the second prince, it would naturally cause the prince to misunderstand him. The water in Kyoto is deep, and if he does not choose a force to live in, he will definitely bring disaster to his life. The best way is to be impartial and try not to meet the prince and the second prince.

Fan Xian was worried that the prince would see him as a thorn in his side, and that his accession to the throne would harm the Lin family in the future. Now that he would be the son-in-law of the Lin family, he would naturally belong to the Lin family. Lin Ruofu sighed and said that he would try his best to reconcile it. If the prince always regards Fan Xian as his enemy, the position of crown prince will be the same if he changes his position. When Fan Xian left, he told Dabao that he would marry Wan'er in the future, and would treat him to cakes and take him to see the sea in the future. Dabao was very happy by him, but Dabao often mentioned his second treasure, Lin Gong, which made Fan Xian feel a little sad. complex. Fan Xian tactfully told Dabao that Erbao had gone far, far away. Who knew that Dabao immediately realized that Erbao was dead, just like the little animals he had raised. Wan'er once told him that to die is to go to a place far, far away and never come back, but one day he will go to that place, so although Dabao misses him, he will not be sad. He looks forward to meeting again one day. .

Yuan Hongdao informed the prince of the results of the interrogation of Si Lili. He wondered why Lin Ruofu decided so quickly to entrust the future of the young lady and the Lin family to Fan Xian? Lin Ruofu said calmly that he had seen Fan Xian and Dabao together before. In fact, Mr. Lin knew that even the servants in the mansion would always have teasing and disdain in their eyes when they saw Dabao. Most people looked down on him and were impatient to talk to him. But Fan Xian smiled sincerely when he was with him, and he could see that it came from the heart. At that moment, he decided that if Lin Gong's death had nothing to do with him, the Lin family would choose him as their future support.

When Fan Xian left, Dabao was reluctant to leave. He felt that Fan Xian was not like the people Lin Xiang called before, because those people did not like to play with him, and they would only smile at him when his father was around. But he didn't tell his father, because his father would scold those people if he found out. Fan Xian was attracted by Dabao's innocence and kindness. During the days he came to Kyoto from Danzhou, he met many people. He felt that Dabao was cuter than most of them. Dabao was very happy when he heard him praising himself and repeatedly told him to come often. play by youself.

Fan Xian left the Lin Mansion in a happy mood. Not long after, Wang Qinian, who was sweating profusely, caught up with him. He hurriedly told Fan Xian that the prince had left the East Palace and was going to the Inspection Institute to see Si Lili. In other words, he was going Save Si Lili. The prince told Ruoruo that he would swear as the crown prince that if she told the truth about the night trial, he would rescue her from the dungeon and keep her safe. After Fan Xian learned about it, he hurried to the forensic institute. He knew in his heart that Si Lili had not told the truth until now. There was only one reason, and that was that she knew that the forensic institute valued Fan Xian. So as long as she is detained in the forensic institute for a day, she will not say anything. If she knew that the prince would save her, she would definitely tell the truth. As long as Si Lili tells the truth, the Crown Prince, Prime Minister Lin, and even His Majesty will think that he killed Lin Gong.

The two rushed to the forensic institute and found that the prince had already arrived. They had to hide in the dark and observe. Now they could only hope that someone could stop him and prevent him from entering the forensic institute, otherwise they would be dead. Fortunately, Emperor Qing had decreed that all princes should not have access to matters involving the Inspection Institute. Wang Qinian guessed that several adults in the institute would not let the prince in. The prince stopped at the entrance of the inspection institute with his elite guards. Sure enough, Zhu Ge came out to stop him, but the prince was not afraid. He arrogantly told Zhu Ge that he would force his way in unless he dared to attack him. Zhuge would naturally not take action, but Yan Ruohai dared. He threatened that if the prince continued to invade, he would have to knock him out. The prince seemed to be angered by him and actually ordered the guards to draw their swords and try to break in. Fan Xian, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but feel frustrated when he saw this scene. He didn't expect the prince to be so strong and even planned to pack his luggage. Escape from Kyoto. At this moment, a familiar roar came from the street. Fan Xian quickly went to see it. It turned out that the black knight was escorting the dean back. After Chen Pingping got off the carriage, Fan Xian saw this big man for the first time in Kyoto, who was less than one person and more than ten thousand people. He was curious about what happened to his legs. Wang Qinian told him that Chen Pingping once led the black cavalry to attack thousands of miles and win the Northern Qi Dynasty. Sean, a big demon, but after being injured in that battle, he could no longer walk.

When Chen Pingping saw the prince leading the escort, it was like seeing a child playing house, and she just let him go back lightly. The prince could not stand his attitude and asked him loudly: Chen Pingping was so powerful, so would he dare to kill the prince? Chen Pingping said calmly that it was not the way of a courtier to attack the prince. The prince thought that Chen Pingping did not dare to stop him, so he was about to rush in with a knife. Seeing this, Wang Qinian took out the dagger from his waist, aimed at it and suddenly pointed at him. The prince shot in the direction. Chen Pingping said "protect the prince" and had the prince pulled away alive.

After Fan Xian met Chen Pingping, he finally understood why the black knight appeared in time that day. Wang Qinian admitted that he was indeed specially arranged by the dean to be by his side. Chen Pingping was very close to Fan Xian. He mentioned some past events about Ye Qingmei, and his words were full of nostalgia. Fan Xian was still wary of him, and Chen Pingping was not angry when he saw that he didn't trust her. She also told Fan Xian that he no longer had to deal with Lin Gong's affairs and that he would take care of the matter himself.

After Wang Qinian and Fan Xian finished eating, Fan Sizhe came to Fan Xian after listening to a book in the teahouse and discussed opening a shop with him. Before they had even exchanged a few words, Eunuch Hou led someone to let Fan Xian into the palace. Fan Xian entered the palace and saw Prime Minister Lin, and went in with him to meet Emperor Qing. It turned out that he was called here for a confrontation. The prince suspected that Fan Xian and the second prince were the murderers of Lin Gong. Emperor Qing saw them arguing endlessly. He did not take sides, but asked Lin Ruofu, the sufferer, for his opinion. Lin Ruofu blamed Chen Pingping, thinking that this was the dereliction of duty of the inspection agency. As expected, Emperor Qing summoned Chen Pingping. As soon as he entered the palace, Emperor Qing pretended to blame him for his poor performance, but Chen Pingping told him that the murderer had been found, and this person was Sigu Jian from Dongyi City.
